If you haven’t received it already, I’ve read numerous reports so far today noting that a much needed OTA update is on the way for the Motorola CLIQ. In the official update release notes from Motorola, it’s noted that the following features and enhancements have been addressed:

Longer Battery Life
Improved battery life while phone is idle or running applications.

New Battery Management Feature
A new “Battery Management” feature lets you customize battery settings, such as turning data off when phone is idle for 30 minutes. And with the 1.1.31 release installed on your phone, you now have the option to select battery consumption modes that optimize data performance while minimizing battery consumption. To enable Battery Manager, go to Settings, Battery Manager, Battery Profile.

Better Bluetooth
Improved pairings, audio and call connections with Bluetooth headsets, including: rewind/fast forward feature with S9 and HT820 headsets.

Touch Screen Accuracy
Improved touch screen accuracy and protection against inadvertent key presses and unintended phone calls.

TTY Option
Text Telephone option for the hearing/speech-impaired lets you converse with callers via “real time” text messaging instead of relying on the caller’s audio.

Better Business Connections
Improved connections to corporate email accounts.

Improved Caller Connectivity
1.1.31 repairs issues with lingering connections after hang-up.

Quick Office 2
Quick Office 2 supports additional file types and enhanced capabilities.

Accelerometer Enhancements
Improves overall accelerometer responsiveness and accuracy.

If you haven’t received an update notification yet, be sure to run a system update to check from your CLIQ. When updating, be sure your CLIQ is either fully charged, or plugged in to a power source. Oh yeah, and I suppose it would be helpful if your data connection was active too. :P

SPONSORED MESSAGE
Get free domestic and international calls and texts to anyone with the Vonage Mobile app available as an iPhone calling app or Android calling app.
