But the phone is fine and the case is not damaged. Takes a while 2 seconds to snap back together.

I can deal with that for the protection and color options.

Kies to check for an update .

Their is no latest it depends upon network country and phone model .

OTA update may be removed by network phone provider .

CHECKFUS will download latest firmware .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
First of all, we're not geeks; we're technical enthusiasts!

Second of all, as JJe said correctly, the button was probably removed by the carrier, you are at.

Third of all, you can always download frimware from here incase you don't have the OTA button :)

*OTA = Over the Air

I Have called the customer care of the service provider they said they have not disabled that option is my phone faulty then because same provider with other phone i can see that option
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
I very much doubt your phone is broken/defect or what ever, I'd say go to sammobile.com/firmware and download the latest firmware you can find :)

Or, if you never have, try flashing a custom ROM, they're definitly worth a try! We've got some developers here, that should be prominent! :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daflex86:
I am guessing you are with orange. Or maybe t-mobile as they are both one now. Your phone is not faulty and it is your service provider (orange/ t-mobile) who have disabled the updates option. I am in the same situation. You can either ring your service provider to give you an unbranded phone or flash the rom as suggested.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akrontomaz:
yeah, just flash some unbranded ROM available for you phone, I did exacly this and now I am FREE of carriers logos and other stuff, they should't control our lives, dam operators.. :eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italianveins:
i am on that site now with the firmwares and i cannot find my country on it which is Cyprus ... that means i cannot use the latest firmware just because i cannot find my country ? because it says Greece (vodaphone) etc and in cyprus we have (cyta)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
It doesn't really matter what ROM you use. The only difference is, is that you then have all the carrier crap on your phone. If you can, find the latest version for Europe/No carrier and flash that.

I mean, I live in Germany and I flash the European ones alll the time on other phones, because their fed up of all that bloatware on their phones.

But, I'd suggest trying out some custom ROMs. Personally, I'm using CarHD ROM v6 for my Galaxy S 4 (I9505), it use TWiz, but it's themed. Looks real awesome, though.

On my GS III, I at first had stock Telekom Germany, then I flashed Android Revolution HD - Wasn't happy with it at all after a week of use, constant lag and battery life was terrible (Please don't use this as an argument not to flash the ROM. The lagginess and battery life is relative, as it differes from user to user, as we all have different habbits of using our phones!), then I had Paranoid Android, CM10 and so on.. The last ROM I had on it was MIUI. I stuck with that until I got my new phone - Which was about half a year.

So, if you want my personal opinion, go check out MIUI, whether you choose the CM-based version or the official download from http://miuiandroid.com - It's your choice. In all the time I was using that ROM, using it rather heavily, my battery lasted just over a day and I never had any form of lag, whether it be in games like Hill Climb Racing or graphics-intense games like Asphalt 6. They all worked perfectly fine.

Today the Moto upgrade page changed the status of the AT&T Atrix 2 and Atrix 4G to "Further plans coming soon," so they have reneged on their promise of 3rd quarter of this year. Thanks Moto for heaping a stinking load of cow dung on us. Why did they have people sign up for a soak test that never happened? Here is the upgrade page updated on 22-September-2012.

https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c

Unless they plan on going straight to Jelly Bean this is very upsetting.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Chr0nos77:
I'm really hoping that this means we are going straight to JB, but knowing Moto, who knows. I guess we are lucky they haven't relegated us to staying on GB like they did with some of the other devices on that list.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gabo_e30:
They could've just released the second or first leak as the OTA and unlocked the BL and ppl would've been happy.

Hopefully we get JB... not counting on it though. Good thing i decided to install the leak and SCv7. Thanks to jim and rdavisct and all the devs here.

Motorola sucks! I'm very upset about this.

Other regions are getting ICS rolled out...

Its not moto its at&t, and its at&t about the bootloaders too, the Photon Q is a sprint phone, thats why you can unlock the bootloader.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matthew5025:
I'm going to blame the carriers on this one. No other reason moto can roll out ICS to Atrix 2 that are in other regions other then the USA.

FYI: ICS is official in the SEA region as of 11 Sept. The website says Q4 2012, but let me assure you, that is not the case.

Motorola SEA

11 September

Good morning! We are pleased to let our Motorola XOOM2 and ATRIX2 users know that they will be receiving an over-the-air update to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Users can also do a manual upgrade by going to Settings\About Tablet\Systems Updates. Please note that the upgrade does not allow for a previous version of Android to be re-installed, and we do recommend that users back up their data prior to this upgrade.

For more inquiries please contact our Product Inquiry Hotlines listed in our previous post. Thank you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
Yes, after some reflection the blame should be on AT&T. Atrix 2s all over the world including China, Cambodia, India and more got the ICS update already. So the likely reason is that AT&T blocked the update so people would upgrade to a new phone and extend their contracts. Since I am using an AT&T Atrix 2 (unlocked) in Thailand that is not an option for me. For regular AT&T customers with an Atrix 2, it looks like AT&T scubmagged you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ajsedlacek:
I am not a litigious person but if AT&T is blocking these updates, there are some grounds for us the consumer for a legal remedy. There are bugs and problems with the current OS and the update is supposed to fix these for us. The fact that AT&T is blocking us from getting them from the manufacturer is a violation and breach of our warranty and grounds for a lawsuit.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
I am now a bit more thankful that I moved onto the AHD, however I mourn for all of my Atrix 2 friends here. :(

The good news is that the A2 community already has two different ICS leaks which have been worked on since early July, so it's not as if the phones can't run ICS at all. Needless to say, AT&T seems to be the culprit for this major hold-up.

Also, @ ajsedlacek, you likely wouldn't be able to sue AT&T for anything. They probably have a clause releasing them from any potential lawsuits once you sign a contract agreement with them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jpreichart:
Agree 100% with this. In the US the carriers hold all the power. None of them are exempt. Heck... look at the BS Verizon pulled with their "Nexus"

All international phones will get updates first for a variety of reasons, with a big reason being the carriers
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
I think most of us saw this coming. When I woke up this morning and saw the news, it definitely wasn't surprising to me.

My opinion on all of this, screw it. We've got awesome Devs here that are absolutely awesome at what they do, and personally, the LEAKS that we have of ICS are just fine for me.

Also, CM10 from Jim (and others) is right around the corner, and that excites me much more than getting official ICS. Granted it would be nice to have the official version, but there are better things in store for our Atrix 2.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:

What folks here really need to do, is swallow their 'entitlements' and stop acting like they're "owed" something. It's getting ridiculous, and rather embarrassing to read. You all bought an Atrix 2, that doesn't mean you also purchased the moon and the stars and everything else you've ever wished upon. We get what we get, so don't throw a fit. Whatever comes our way, will be made more amazing by our talented development team. Stop crying about timetables, what you anticipated, and what you feel you deserve. It's a phone for Christ's sake, and to be such malcontents about when we "get this or that" is leaving a rather bitter, self-warranted, rotten taste in the mouth of this forum. Does Motorola suck? Yeah, undeniably so. Does AT&T hold back inexplicably? Certainly. But, you bought the tickets, now take the ride. Stop complaining, or buy another phone. If you're staying with the A2, you can take solace in the fact we have an inarguable competence and talent here, otherwise, take your b¡tching elsewhere. It's growing ever so redundant, and removes from the integrity of everything we've done here, if the threads are flooded with crap like this...

Two bits offered, take 'em or leave 'em...

[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Yeah.., I'm not understanding why everyone is crazy about "OFFICIAL" ICS. We already have a leak or rather 2 that have barely if any bugs and a couple of GREAT rom's based on ICS. Furthermore we have a fully working build of CM10 based of off Jellybean (not counting the camera... yet). Personally I couldn't care less about when an "official" version is released because it won't change anything, and I advise you all to do the same.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dk-v1:
Ummm...Yes, I (we) are owed something. Its called updates and bug fixes.

So far one upgrade with no real fixes...

If you're OK with that, so be it. But don't try to sit here and tell people what they should or should not be doing.

Yes the deb's here have done a great job. Saying that, its not their jobs! It is that of Motorola's and at&TS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
You've so much to learn, young grasshopper...

The "upgrade" wasn't an 'upgrade', it was a leak, I'm sure you recall this, yeah? If it was an official OTA, and needed "bug fixes", likely we would have already gotten them. What we did, was hack the Moto servers, to 'fish' for updates. We found one (two, to be specific) and nothing subsequent to that is owed to us by Moto or AT&T, because what we found wasn't even intended for use by us -the end consumer. We'll get the release when we get it. My point was for everyone to stop this incessant b¡tching and whining. It's borderline manic...

[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
I don't think anyone feels entitled to anything, but it is reasonable to expect some updates and maintenance. Granted we got 2.3.6, but is that really an update when most everyone else at the time was running 2.3.7?

I don't think anyone here questions the contributions made by the devs, nor isn't grateful. I think we're all just frustrated that we're behind the times and know that we have a lot of potential going to waste.

I came from M3 and had a Motorola Cliq XT, so I been through all of this before with Moto and their updates. Fortunately we had Turl (which some of you devs might know), and when I left there about a year ago we had CM7 2.3.7 running great on a phone that had barely a 1/3 of the hardware we have on our A2.

I'm confident we'll move forward, we have some great devs here. We're all entitled to our opinions and expectations, and we all want more because we know we're more than capable of taking advantage of it. I think we just need to organize and focus on what we have going on here at XDA. Personally, I'm excited for CM10 and can't wait to get something more proper running on this piece lol.

Me...I could care less what Moto and ATT does (officially). I root and mod my phone as soon as I can, so an OTA will not get to me anyways...and even if it did, I wouldn't install it until the devs touch it anyways. I think most of you are in the same boat, so what are you crying for??? XDA is all about the "darker" side of the community, what happens here is usually much better than what happens in the "official" community. I second those that say "quit crying" and take the ride you signed up for, the fun in XDA is seeing what you can get unofficially and seeing how good a dev can make it. Everyone is entitled to your opinion and this is mine. Also, most of you road the Moto-ATT bus before...so you knew what would happen, so what are you crying for???
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Guys,

I'll apologize for my rant last night. Perhaps I was being a bit too harsh, but it only stems from frustration. Albeit, we're all frustrated with Moto/AT&T for putting us as one of the last in line for an official OTA, my frustration is compounded when I see people expecting to be treated like royalty in having this self-importance that they (we) should have gotten ICS like others have ready seen.

With all speculation aside, we really have no idea when we'll get the official release, nor do we really know what the hold up is for. True, everyone had the right to an opinion, but when it evolves to nothing more than b¡tching and moaning over (whatever), it is pretty embarrassing. Though I have my SGSIII, I also still have my A2, and am in the warranty replacement process with Motorola.

That said, when my A2 wasn't soft bricked (now motherboard cooked thanks to my car battery and a couple of lead wires) I was still using it, testing on it, and modding for it. I still plan on doing so when I receive my new A2, and am still going to be active in this community. We have an amazing group here, and that's why I'm sticking around -not because I have an affinity toward Motorola. It's you all here that keeps me here, and was what drove me to decide to keep my A2 rather than let it go when I bought the SGSIII.

So, if I miffed anyone last night, I do humbly apologize. But my point still stands, being that we all should consider projecting a refrain from so much complaining and whining about our (AT&T) update. We're better than that, guys! Let's keep our forward momentum, keep helping each other out, and enjoy what we have here -which is a fantastic group of guys and an incredible development team.

Like I mentioned last night, we all bought our tickets for this ride, so let's enjoy it, not shadow it with negativity and discourse. So, I extend my olive beach to you all, but do still consider what I stated last night, along with what I'm saying now. We're a good community, and I can't wait to see where we go in the future...

Well, glad to see everybody kept pretty much a cool head over such a subject. Honestly, I had to keep an eye on this one.:good:

Good job people.

And yes, I know it's frustrating not to get ICS at this point in time, especially when other devices are starting to get JB. Heck, the Iconia Tab A501 just got a somewhat official ICS a month ago, long after it's weaker twin the A500 got theirs and a couple updates. So I know the feeling.

Heck, I have an HTC Desire, and it ain't gettin "nothin". Was lucky HTC changed their mind to do GB!!!!!

Just hang in there.

And good job keeping this thread relatively clean. I appreciate it folks!!

[Motorola Atrix 2] sola fide:
My theory of the 3 options Moto/Google had regarding the US Atrix 2 (expanded from my post above)

Not release ICS for the US A2

. There could be multiple reasons for this; but they don't matter. It's always an option on the table.

Result:

Breaking an upgrade promise/statement and enraging it's customers even more. Clearly a very bad move.

.

Release ICS correctly but late.

The build is quality and stands up to Google's standards and finally jumps through all of ATT's flaming hoops of death.

Result:

Still broke an upgrade promise/statement. ICS is released but very very late and enrages its customers who expected a company to deliver on their word. Few are happy...many are very upset but are too busy playing with the new features.

.

Expedite work on JB for Moto devices (including A2) and do the best damage control you can.

Result:

Push back release dates and stay away from promises you can't guarantee you can keep which results in vague information changes. Offer people the possibility of money, the $ is always seen way before the catch. They surprise many average users and possibly gain a little of their faith. Your advanced users are shocked but also still feel very hurt and let down. Many have probably moved on to another device. Overall, less people are pissed and some may have built some trust/faith in this new Moto/Google partnership. Many are still remembering they would have gotten $100 (toward another Moto device) if they didn't get JB and are at least content with the outcome.

IMO...there was probably a big Executive Board Meeting and the biggest of the bigwigs stood up and gave an Ari Gold inspired meltdown that ended with...."I don't care how; just fix it Lloyd or I'll make it so that not even Samsung would hire you to work on TouchWiz!!!!"

I know i should have not tried but i am on the leak and i selected update and i got a update to the leak. Nothing baf happened so i am grateful, but that means someone is doing something on moto/att side doesn't?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
You are on a more stable leak but now you are stuck there for now. No way to go back to the previous version or Gingerbread. Don't try or you will brick your device. It is unknown also if Moto ever does release an official rom if you will be able to update from this version of the leak. I hope it works good for you as it might be last rom you ever put on your phone.

The Soak Test never happened. It was announced that they were going to do it and people were asked to sign up for it but it hasn't happened.
