[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
UPDATE FYI: As far as I can tell from what I am hearing, this update is the same as the one in SOAK right now. I do not know if this is true, but the version numbers add up. Once the update goes live, we will see what happens.

I figured I would put this little change guide up for some of those who are on the fence about updating. So far I have updated and couldn't be happier. I will continue to update this when I find a new change or feel like going into more detail on some of these items.

Changes in 2.3.4

- Revamped UI: New MotoBlur, Different Color Scheme, New Icons

- New Apps: Rich Location, New Tasks App, Music Store, Help Center, Mobile HotSpot

- Updated Apps: Gallery App, Camera App, Camcorder App, Email App, Task Manager, Text Messaging App, Music App, Calendar App

- Profiles option: Choose between Everyday, Work, and Weekend

- New Settings: Media Audio Effects, SD Card Notifications, In-Pocket Detection, Unknown Sources and others

Motoblur -

- UI: The update implements the New Motoblur that has been seen on a few other phones. Included in this UI update is the ability to use multiple profiles. The Menu Dock has changed along with some locations of settings and menus.

We Also have some new Icons for several programs such as the Internet Brower. The Transition screens and the lock screen effect has also changed. When you turn off the screen now, it acts like the Gingerbread animation (CM7). The apps drawer also has sorting features now via a drop down menu.

Update: New feature added to the Notification Bar. You can now remove individual notifications from the list without affecting the rest of the notifications.

New Apps -

- Rich Locations: A new app similar to Google Maps that gives you local places, couples, and even local singles (match.com). You can even view local singles profiles.

- New Tasks App: Included is a tasks app that is rather quick and easy to use. Gives the option to send notifications to the task bar, and persistant reminders. Several different options for priority. No sync to google tasks though.

- Music Store: Well this one is rather obvious and if you don’t know how to use an app store or music store, please return your phone and purchase a dumb phone.

- Help Center: Guided Tours, Tips and tricks, User guide and FAQS.

- Mobile Hotspot: I have not tested this one, but from the menu options you are able to manage the hotspot information and the actual devices allowed to connect by typing in their mac addresses.

Updated Apps -

- Gallery App: Now shows Facebook photos, Camera Roll, My Library, Online Photos from Facebook. New Layout.

- Camera App: Changed the buttons to match the rest of MotoBlur

- Camcorder App: The HD video can now record more than 30 minutes at a time (using the full size of the storage medium), extra click to turn on the LED lights.

- Email, Calendar, and Text Messenger: Just UI improvements

- Task Manager: Seems to have small improvements, but basically the same as before with just a UI revamp

- Music App: Similar Changes as the Camera App. However there is now an option that allows Moto to identify your music and send “anon” info about your music preferences to Moto.

Multiple Profiles-

- Profiles: You now have three profiles to choose from (work, Everyday, and Weekends). As far as I can tell the same ringtones, silent settings, and what not apply to all three profiles and can not be individually set for each profile. It looks as if the Home Screens are the only things that change with the profile (widgets, background, app shortcuts).

The widgets in multiple profiles along with any live wall paper may contribute to battery drain similar to using multiple launcher. I have not tested this as I need my phone and do not want to waste battery testing it when I am still using it. If anyone wants to give it a go and post their results, please do so.

New Settings-

- Media Audio Settings: Multiple settings that include bass boost. May have been on the Froyo version but I have never seen them.

- SD Card Notifications: You can finally turn off the damned sound notification when your SD card is added or removed and when you boot the phone.

- In-Pocket Detection: It locks the phone when you put it in your pocket.

- Unknown Sources Checkbox: Yup it’s finally here and you can now check it and install the amazon app store without having to root your phone.

- Windows Media Sync: Allows you to choose where to sync your media from your PC.

- Secure Network Notification: You can now be notified when a secure network is available

- Peer to Peer (Ad-Hoc) Channel: Choose a channel to setup a Adhoc network.

- Text Message Reply: Gives the option to turn off the Send a text message to a phone caller.

- Contacts Settings: Allows you to change which contacts are visable. Rather nice if you ask me

Updates:

- SD Card Data Encryption: Finally a feature we all wanted!

- Device Encryption: No more police officers looking at your phone...at least in some districts.

- Blue tooth Bypass: Allows you to bypass your bluetooth device and use the voice commands on the phone vs. the bluetooth.

- Advanced IPSec VPN: Not entirely certain if it works or not. We all know it didn't before, so if anyone can test it and let me know, that would be great.
