Earlier today, we received word that Motorola is looking for first come first serve (along with some other pre-reqs) beta testers for 2.1 on the Cliq. Sure enough, like clockwork the Motorola Owners' Forums has posted a message containing the following: "Motorola and T-Mobile are happy to announce a trial release of the 2.1 (Éclair) software upgrade...

Noah talks Android on CBS 5: Bay Sunday

John Walton — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 22:32:51 +0000

Android really is becoming a household name/concept, and I'm glad to see this kind of coverage on a local news show. But Cliq and Hero? Hmm. I'm not really sure why those phones were chosen, but they are well established and can be had relatively cheap for the casual smartphone user or feature phone convert. Noah's getting to be as natural on the tele as... Read more

Hey there, Cliq owners. I know you're hoping for a major upgrade (as in firmware), but all I can offer you is a bundle of fixes and enhancements, primarily aimed at the battery, touch screen performance (YAY!) and Bluetooth. Hey, it's better than nothing, right? You can check out the full details of the update over at Moto's official support page, but some... Read more

Motorola Speaks Out On Cliq Update

Well, well, well... Motorola seems to be the talk of the town today. The bad news is that it isn't all good news. It's been going around for a minute now that a recent update to the Cliq has made things less than desirable, something Moto would like to fix. It looks like they're working hard on a permanent solution, but for now, they've got ya... Read more

Evan Selleck — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:30:44 +0000

You're waiting for the update to 2.1, we know, but apparently Motorola wants to rub it in your face that you can't have it yet. They're planning on pushing out an update this week that is specifically designed to address lingering issues with the touchscreen, battery life, and GPS. According to Motorola: "CLIQ users: an update is coming this week with... Read more

Remember when I mentioned that hackers were working on a ROM for the recently rooted Motorola Cliq? Well here's a video from one hacker who has been cooking one and releasing progress updates via Twitter. The ROM is still missing some features, but he is making progress. Check it... Read more

John Walton — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 09:13:46 +0000

It seems like we're covering a lot of geeky hacks and mods lately, but that happens to be where some of the most exciting Android news is going down at the moment. But have no fear, I'm sure to return from CES in a week-and-a-half with all sorts of juicy on the new handsets. Until then, we've got plenty of rumors, buzz, and clever ways of getting more out...

John Walton — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 11:37:54 +0000

I'm back with another questions and requests series, and this time it's all about MotoBlur. Well, that's actually just where I thought the focus would be. It turned out that I got dozens of duplicate questions about how this device stacks up against the Behold II. A LOT of you wanted some definitive answers on updates. As of right now, I think the hacking... Read more

Motorola Cliq rooted, waiting on ROMs

John Walton — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 01:08:29 +0000

A well-known ROM cooker called The Dude has rooted the Cliq but don't go rushing into ADB thinking you'll be flashing Cyanogen's latest. This will give you root and the ability to run root required apps but no suitable ROMs are available just yet. The process does require a wipe but MotoBlur takes care of restoring a lot of your settings if you have the... Read more

Motorola Cliq update

John Walton — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 07:09:57 +0000

There's a Cliq update in the air tonight, folks, and I am glad to say that it should take care of that glitchy, drifting, touch calibration. I'm not sure what kind of interest there is in seeing me update the Cliq, but maybe those of you who are new to Android and haven't received an update notification will appreciate it. Improvements, as listed at... Read more
