Mobile phone maker Motorola Mobility has just started to deliver a new software update for the Motorola ATRIX 4G smartphone, bringing it up to Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The software update is now available for download from Motorola, after being pushed out to beta testers only a few days ago.
According to Motorola, ATRIX 4G owners who would like to upgrade their devices to the new Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS flavor should connect to a WiFi network for that.
The download will be performed only via the WiFi network. As soon as the handset loses WiFi connectivity, the download will pause, and will be resumed only when the connectivity is restored.
The list of changes in the new Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the Motorola ATRIX can be found at the bottom of this article.
The new update will arrive on all devices that sport software Blur_Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US. The update will bring firmware version Blur_Version.4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US to smartphones.
Before kicking off the update process, users should make sure that their handsets are fully charged. They would also need to have a microSD memory card inside the device, with at least 200 MB of free space.
Android 2.2 should also be on the device. The entire software update should be completed in about 25 minutes, Motorola notes.
Motorola also notes that optimal performance is ensured for handsets that were not modified in any way.
Before starting the update process, users should also have a look at the release notes, available on Motorola's support website.
As soon as the new software update is made available for a specific device, a notification will pop-up on the ATRIX 4G. After connecting to a WiFi network, users can hit the download button to get the software.
Users can also perform manual searches for the new software update through heading to Menu->Settings->About phone-> System updates.
