Mobile phone maker Motorola and wireless carrier T-Mobile have started the deployment of a new update for the users of a Motorola CLIQ handset, namely software update 1.4.8. The new solution comes with a series of improvements for the phone’s battery, touchscreen, and Bluetooth functionality, and others more, the handset vendor announced. However, it seems that the new solution won’t bring Android 2.1 on the device, even if users might have expected for that to happen.

Among the other improvements the new software update 1.4.8 brings to CLIQ, we can count:
- General improvements to text messaging – especially for longer message threads
- Enhances audio quality in certain scenarios in which users experienced issues
- The “End Call” key was relocated within the calling screen to reduce instances of unintentionally ending Active calls
- Improves user interface performance-consistently notifying the user when a new call is coming in which reduces missed call notifications
- Additional device stability reduces occurrence of unresponsiveness and/or programs quitting unexpectedly
- Adds the ability to view documents in Microsoft Office 2007 format.

Mobile phone maker Motorola has recently delivered a new software solution for their first Android-based handset, the Motorola Cliq. The software update 1.3.18 was released over-the-air for all users of a Cliq on T-Mobile, and it seems that the firmware created a lot of issues, tough it was supposed to solve others.

However, a wide range of T-Mobile customers are already reporting on the forums that there are a lot of issues the new solution created, and that some of them are rather serious problems, it seems. Among the issues Cliq owners are reporting on the forums, we can count a problem with the date/time, (set at 31 December 1969 and cannot be changed); problems with the touch keyboard; force close error for Google Voice; issues with the text messages; Gmail, calendar and contacts are also not syncing; or battery life problems. At the same time, there are also some reporting that, following the update, the following message was received, “Error Signing Into account: There is a problem with the clock on the device. Please contact customer service.”

According to the mobile phone carrier, they are aware of the situation and are working on resolving the problems as soon as possible.
