  • Data Speed Increased speed at which data can travel on the network.
  • Data Connection Improvements to prevent interruptions to data connection. Screen Improvements to prevent screen from freezing.

  • Display Improved International Roaming Warning Message by simplifying user notification so that it only appears on the screen when you move to a new network.

Well well look at thaaat.... any idea when we should be getting a notification?
 
Apparently not yet because my phone is telling me it is up to date and happy the way it is.
 
It's not pushed to mine yet either. Boo. Though I'm scared to be the guinea pig.
 
Question, I am running Gingerblur ... do I have to revert back to stock before downloading and installing this? Or can I just install when prompted for the update?
 
just checked my phone and i had the notice. when i hit download it said the update has been recalled and no action is required. what?
 
Phone rebooted and all is fine. BTW I was rooted and updated without any issues.

I'm going to see if I can re-root with Gingerbreak again.

EDIT: Superuser is still installed on my device and sideloading apps is still enabled:)

EDIT: just verified and I'm not rooted anymore even though I still have superuser installed on my device.

Gingerbreak works with this build.

I reinstalled Gingerbreak and I verified that I'm rooted once again :)
 
HSUPA appears to be fixed

Before this update my upload speed were near zero

Yes your SIM will work just fine with your device as long as that SIM is activated and tied to your carrier.

Regardless of what you hear there is no such thing as a 4G SIM for the Atrix.
