Motorola has started rolling out a small firmware update for its Atrix smartphone. Firmware version 4.5.141 brings several improvements, including:

  • Latest Google Android security fixes
  • Improvements to memory function as it relates to media applications and ability to prevent need for re-booting when phone is impacted by heavy loading or high temperatures
  • Bluetooth enhancement that allows you to launch voice command from Bluetooth headset when phone is asleep
  • Improvements to Wi-Fi settings to deliver better overall experience as well as to make it easier to use Mobile Hotspot with your phone
  • Improvements to text messaging capability
  • Phone book contacts remain on place after the OTA upgrade

Now this is all cool, but it’s far from what we crave for, and that would be Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Hopefully, we won’t have to for too long to get that, too… As far as we know, the Atrix is capable enough to handle the latest version of Android, leaving the ball in Motorola’s court…
