I have never hated a piece of technology as much as I hate the Motorola CLIQ. I am now running (FINALLY) Android 2.1 and guess what, THE DAMN PHONE has become sluggish. I now hate TMobile for selling this POS and I’m not due to update my phone so I can’t get a G2 without paying full price. Bleh.

It seems that most have given up on this thread. It is now almost October and MOTOROLA STILL hasn’t provided any updates, upgrade for 2.1 is slotted for Q3-Q4, and keep stalling. EOL is the end of October, so I guess we will see if an upgrade is even possible.

I bought the Cliq the day before I left for a vacation as I had to replace another lousy t-mobile phone and it was the worst decision I ever made. Now that I’m back home, it’s too late to return it and it’s obviously defective – it overheats but cannot be shut down or reset – it fights back and freezes; it shuts down if I use it for more than 2 or 3 minutes, between 10-15 times a day, it freezes up constantly and drains the battery to nothing so it has to be recharged again before I can use it; it cuts off calls, won’t let me end calls, won’t respond to allow me to answer calls and has no working ability to answer call waiting calls, plus it starts flashing through screens with no control and now I’m told that I can get it replaced under t-mobile but rather under Motorola’s warranty as t-mobile doesn’t back the stuff that they sell after 14 days – even you are not in the country! So, I will have to ship it to Motorola and wait for another phone that is the same piece of junk – all the while paying t-mobile. Is it better to switch carriers? Is anyone decent?

The Cliq sucks. Simple proof is the crappy apps that it comes with, which you can’t delete, yet said apps get access to your personal user data. I’m returning this phone and getting an iPhone. T-mobile has lost me over this, despite being a customer for 10 years. I hate apple, but the iPhone has way better security and user rights. Flame away, but the market data proves this phone sucks.

What I find hilarious about this all is that I was having all these issues right around this time and when I was harrassing TMo for a fix they never once mentioned that these were common bugs due to an update. What fixed my problems was simply a factory reset and a new SIM card. Other than this one time having problems, I’ve never had an issue with this phone performance. I love it. One thing about the actual hardware is that I text a TONand the letters are wearing off the key board REALLY fast. But with this, I can deal. ~Love my CLIQ

I do not think my Cliq sucks, I like the phone but after the update my phone freezes up, I have to turn the phone off to shut off the alarm clock, I still have the problem with the voice dialer kicking on many times when I pug a headset in (second phone) and the texting feature just stops, I have to close out texting and open it back up to get any text to enter into the field. I hope they are working on these issues! I do think 3G, battery life, and bluetooth seem to be working better.

I tried the workaround update. It fixed a lot of the problems that the ota update had. I don’t have problems texting anymore meaning no more Force closing. The phone battery life is freakin amazing now. 3G issues have been smoothed out. Although its having minor issues with motoblur and my call log keeps acting up showin only missed calls and my speed dial numbers cannot be altered

theyre sending me out a new phone because of the update sucking. Also dont restart your phone because Tmobile said you cant get back into moto blur.

The way i got mine to work was to delete all the txt msg and turn phone off then on. Presto works great again.
