This week, mobile phone maker Motorola has released a new software update for its first Android-based mobile phone, the Motorola CLIQ, currently available for purchase in the US via wireless carrier T-Mobile. Software update 1.3.18 came over the air to those willing to perform the upgrade, and it seems that, although it included a nice range of enhancements, it caused more problems than solved for some users out there.

Some Motorola CLIQ owners already started to complain on the issues the new software update for their handset has caused, and some stated that the device became unresponsive, or that there had been various problems with the clock, with the messages, a series of synchronization issues, and more. We already laid a few words on the matter, and we showed that T-Mobile was aware of the problem and that it was working on delivering a solution, and now Motorola steps forward to share a few details on this.

“Earlier this week, the CLIQ 1.3.18 over-the-air software update began rolling out to consumers. While the vast majority of updates were successful, a very small number of consumers reported a date error and found that, after factory resetting their device, their phone was not functioning properly. We have identified a workaround solution for these consumers, which can be found on the Motorola support forum (http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/us/support/tmo/index.html),” is what Motorola states, according to Engadget.

At the same time, the handset vendor also announced that it was working on resolving the issue so that the update was fixed and the workaround was needed no more. However, that might still take a while, and those who are currently experiencing issues with their devices after the update should head over to Motorola's website to find a solution. Those who had no issues with the update need do nothing, while those who haven't downloaded the software solution will be notified as soon as the revised update is available, Motorola concludes.

I'm sorry to hear about all the folks who are having Cliq troubles with the 1.3.1.8 OTA update. But I gotta say this. After having long experienced less than a day of power on my pre-updated phone, with this new update I see a vast improvement. I'm going at two days since the last time I put the phone to the charger and its still sitting at around 3/4 battery life!

WHOOPEE! All I did is update the phone while being sure it was plugged in at the time. Then after about 10 minutes of patiently waiting. VOILA! No more need to carry a charger around on me or in the car. I just charge it now waiting for dinner for maybe an hour or so and then remove charger to preserve the battery. Seems to be just fine. No glitches at all!

I'm with you all with Android 2.1. Upgraded from the G1 which had 2.1. Waiting for FLASH 10 so I can listen to internet streamed music. With battery life like this (using speaker phone at near full blast no less) .. smooth jazz anywhere would be nice! Bring on the sweet ECLAIR!
