You have an Alarm set on your phone I assume? If you do that is what that is.
Post up a screenshot
Means you have an alarm set
I am going to assume from now on this is where to post noob questions?
Is there a way to set updates on the Atrix 2 so it asks? I want it to only update when I'm on my WiFi connection is why I want to know. I'm running the 200mb plan and if I don't get massive system updates OTA I'll be fine.

I feel you brotha, I had that plan when I got my first Android smartphone and I was able to manage it but you def gotta pay attention.
All you gotta do is open the market and go into settings, make sure "notifications" is ticked. That way it'll let you know when updates are available but won't download them automatically.
Many thanks!

Settings>battery and data>data saver
Enable this and no updates will download untill you're on Wi-Fi.

You dont have to be on wifi to download or update, its an option for those looking to not use up so much of their data plan allowance.

Only if you select that as an option, it doesn't require wifi by default. If you ever have that problem, go into settings/battery and data/data saver and make sure data saver is not ticked. If it is, you must be on wifi in order to d/l or update anything.
Thank you very much

I heard that the Skyrocket had an update to 2.3.6 but it got pulled because it was messing up some phones. I was wondering if anyone knows when it will be available again or do we just have to wait for 4.0?
it should be back soon
The stock 2.3.6 rom is available in the development section., and acording to at&t the update was only issued to those who needed it. I have not read anywhere that it was messing up devices. That is most likely just somones speculation.
No...from Samsung tech support on a phone call that I made
They had no details just that of was pulled.

I've read on many places where the update was messing up some phones, and when I went into the AT&T store they said the same thing. Is there any way to get the 2.3.6 update from here on my phone without rooting it? And thanks for all the help guys.
Wait for them to fix and really release it

Ya I guess that's my only option My dad wants this phone but since the Google Voice doesn't work right with 2.3.5 I told him to wait a little bit before getting it but I don't know if 2.3.6 will be ready next week or next year.

Unfortunately, with any product, there will typically be problems with some batches. At least the issue is with an official rom, but just that batch.
who cares about 2.3.6 I'm waiting for 4.0! that should hit first months of the year.

I have no issues with google voice on 2.3.5. However, when I got the OTA 2.3.6 my phone would not stay connected to LTE - it kept hopping between 4G HSPA, UTMS and LTE at my house. It would stay connected to LTE about 30 seconds then spend 60 seconds in "Connecting" state. It was completely unusable for IM - popups 'unable to connect to server' etc
Finally took the phone back and they exchanged, have 2.3.5 again and no problems since.
Was there a radio update in 2.3.6? If not, maybe there were some manufacturing problems and they tried to deal with them with hardware. I do know that the first phone I had experienced major connectivity issues (under 2.3.6) that this one does not.

I figured out that it is the Google search app that doesn't work in 2.3.5 so when you would tell it to call or text someone it would just take you to the internet.
2.3.6 was horrible. it had serious bluetooth errors. I sent my phone back for a new on on 2.3.5

I was and have always been under the impression that MIUI didn't require GApps..? The ability to log into a Google account is built-in, and the ROM comes with Gmail.
I have noticed that Jeff stopped updating the ROM on MIUI.us. I can continue updating the ROM there if needed, but I'd rather have someone else take it over since I have recently left Sprint and their crappy data speeds.

No need! I have not stopped, just waiting for a stable ICS build to port instead. There have been minor changes that don't really effect us, so I haven't been porting weekly.
So I'm going to apologize for the stupid question ahead of time, I promise I'm usually not this slow on Mondays. But quick question.. I have a 3G symbol (I think I understand the meaning of that), a signal bar with a E, and a signal bar with a 1X.....
What are all the signal bars for?

1x is not 3g..what you get when 3g is not available..like sending msgs and phone calls..
if im not wrong...e represents edge and h is hspda
It is that way because China made a lot of changes go the cdma code. Everything works besides how the signal is shown

im going to be a bit behind on the next build of miui due to trying to get camera working on ics..if someone is interested in porting miui pm me and ill give you the steps and what not..really easy and you can get experience..sorry for not pushing it out today but if no one gets it ill do what i can to have it to you by sunday
edit - from: http://miuiandroid.com/2012/01/miui-rom-no-release-this-week/
Hi everyone,
Should of probably mentioned this earlier in the week but i’ve been exceptionally busy with work.
Due to the new year in China there will be no development ROM this week for MIUI. Normal development will resume in the coming days following from the weekend.
Please dont spam the comments with ‘Please port my phone’ type questions or otherwise. They will be deleted.
We hope everyone has a great weekend and we’ll be back in next week with a nice new update and hopefully some more exciting news on ICS and other developments we’ve been aware of by Xiaomi.
Thanks,
Mark

So do you guys know how to upgrade once this is released if I'm stock rooted? Do you have to unroot, update then root it again?

Some awesome dev out there will probably come out with a stock JB rooted for all of us to enjoy. Not saying that people like us shouldn't try, we should make an attempt to contribute to the community.
It only took a short while for NoSympathy to make a version of the stock rom that was easy to modify (deodexed) and rooted. Roms based off of that will follow, and will also be CWM flashable.
Don't hold ur breath. im sure one of our great devs will get it to us way before VZW does.

"coming soon" lol!
First, the update will be released OTA direct from Samsung for the international version (4-core Exynos).
Next, the update will be released to GSM carriers (2-core Krait, OpenSource radios)
Next, the update will be released Sprint (2-core Krait, CDMA closed-source radios)
Next, the update will be released by GSM carriers via OTA.
Next, the update will be released by Sprint via OTA
Next, Google will ship the 'K' variant (either 4.2 or 5.0 likely) to GSM Nexus devices.
Next, Verizon will soak-test the OTA on 6 devices.
Next, Verizon will send it back to have new versions of their ****ware loaded into /system.
Next, Verizon will soak-test the updated ota on 10 more devices.
Next, Samsung will release the 'K' variant via OTA to international GSM carriers.
Next, Verizon will send the update back to tweak more nanny settings including making it more difficult for third party tethering and Nav.
Next, Verizon will release 2 new phones pre-loaded with the 'K' variant.
Finally, Verizon will release the OTA for the rest of their customers. This will happen around July of '14, right around the time when most people who bought the GS3 will be ready to upgrade again.
Nice ^^^^

Word!
The worst part is most of you are right but we all hope your horribly wrong. Our phone doesn't even need JB right now, we need some updates that fix a ton of problems. Some of which are already fixed in the International versions. Terrible signal and music playback problems are my main ones.
Hope at least a stable Rom comes out when the international update is released!!

I came from a Bionic. Never lost 4G in my apartment and never got "text failed" messages. Now unless I go to one corner of my apartment, messages will not send or receive, nor will calls. And forget 4G. Thank God for Wi-Fi

I had CM 9.0 on my skyrocket for a month before anything wonky happened to data. Then yesterday my data connection just kept dropping. I mean the cell-data connection (3g, HSPA, 4G, etc). I know it was supposed to be an issue in some of the early releases of CM9, but I never had any problems until yesterday.
Being over-reactive, I installed CM 9.1 and have experienced the same issues. I'm looking for advice on how to get this thing working properly again. It's like the radio just doesn't want to work sometimes.

Let me tell you your input is stupid , sometimes people in middle of a problem forget about the basic things when troubleshooting .... And as OP said data was fine for a good amount of time then it crapped out ...
Checking what quality of data the others are getting is the first step in this issue ... Rulling this out is essential.
PS:What does your data quality do with the OP ? double membership or what ?

Have a nice day
Really excited about all the kind-hearted advice you guys have given me. I'm still having the issue, though I now understand it better. It seems to be especially bad on the towers near my house (awesome ). Other places it is not as bad, although I've found that if I reset that data connection it seems to do great for about 2-3 minutes. It isn't ROM specific. I've tried CM9, 9.1, and Embryo 4, all have the same issue. It's gotta be a radio/network thing.
So, I thought maybe I'm getting throttled, but I stay under 2GB every month so that isn't it. Plus, that wouldn't explain the fact that on some towers it seems to work just fine. I'm guessing it must be a local tower issue? Any other reasonable guesses are appreciated - unreasonable ones are not (ex. Perhaps the sasquatch caused it).
