Samsung Infuse 4G Gingerbread Update is now on Hold
by Alexander Maxham on Feb 07, 2012 with 0 Comments">0
So you remember that Android 2.3.6 update to the Samsung Infuse 4G that was released early then pulled then officially went out again late last week? Well it’s been put on hold, temporary. According to an answer in Samsung’s Support forums, things didn’t go quite as planned. We currently have put a hold on the update. Samsung and AT&T are aware of the issue with the Infuse 4G Update and are developing a fix. AT&T has confirmed that the update is indeed on hold and that “we are working with Samsung to get this resolved as quickly as we can”. …
Andru: USB Phone Charger – Official Unboxing
by Alexander Maxham on Feb 07, 2012 with 1 Comments">1
Today Fedex brought me a cool new charger for my Android device to review. Have to give a big thanks to the guys over at The Gen for hooking us up with a review unit that we will be giving away. It is basically a charger unlike something you’ve ever seen before, in the world of Android. It’s best used as a desk charger, since Andru stands on the plug, so you could have him standing on your desk and make all your co-workers jealous. As you can see in the picture above I used my old HTC Sensation 4G as …

Droid Bionic Update 5.9.902 is Ready, Here is the Full Changelog
by Alexander Maxham on Feb 07, 2012 with 0 Comments">0
We told you over the weekend that all of us Droid Bionic owners would be getting an update, but we didn’t know which update it would be. It could have been the mistakenly rolled out .901 update, or the leaked .902 update or even Ice Cream Sandwich (which seemed very unlikely). The image above has leaked out onto Verizon’s support website and the change log is pretty short but the important changes are there. Including “data connectivity and stability improvements” along with a fix for the Black screen lockups many of us have seen. The update is just 57.6MB in …
Beta ICS ROM Comes to the Viewsonic G-Tablet
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 07, 2012 with 0 Comments">0
The G-Tablet was one of very first Tegra 2 tablets, long before the Motorola Xoom appeared. Unfortunately this also meant that it came with an un-optimized version of Android for tablets. To make matters worse, Google didn’t open source Android 3.0 or Honeycomb, so it wasn’t available for the G-tablet, because only a few manufacturers had early access to it. Others have tried putting custom versions of Honeycomb on it, but it kept being limited by the performance and bugs of Honeycomb, plus the fact that Honeycomb wasn’t fully open source. The G-Tablet was a decent tablet for its price, …
Samsung holding a March 22nd event, Announcing the 7mm-thick Galaxy S3?
by Alexander Maxham on Feb 07, 2012 with 3 Comments">3
Here we go with the rumor mill on the Galaxy S3 again. It’s already been confirmed by Samsung that they will not be announcing or showing off their Galaxy S3 at Mobile World Congress later this month, but it looks like they will be announcing it at their own event in late-March. Frandroid has stated that the March 22nd date is the same date that Samsung will be holding a media event in France, and so far there is no mention of what will be unveiled, the Galaxy S2 successor should certainly be the main runner in this rumor mill. …

This friday is going to be a pretty big day for Verizon customers, especially those looking to pick up the Motorola Droid 4. The device is going to be $199 on a 2-year contract.

Root Your Samsung Galaxy S2 Running XXLP6 Firmware Using CF-Root
by Paul Nuñal on Feb 07, 2012 with 1 Comments">1
With so many official and unofficial firmware releases for the Samsung Galaxy S2, many consumers can have a hard time rooting their devices. Starting off with the latest release of the leaked XXLP6 firmware, rooting methods used from past firmware versions for the Galaxy S2 usually won’t work, thus requiring a fresh rooting solution. The Android 4.0.3 ICS build XXLP6 firmware update promises near-perfect functionality, with only minor bugs and a few disabled features. It is allegedly a leaked copy of the latest firmware update for the Galaxy S2. If you’ve manually applied the firmware update to your rooted Galaxy …
AT&T Galaxy Note to Have Snapdragon Chip with Lower Performance than Exynos
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 06, 2012 with 5 Comments">5
One of the things I like about Samsung and don’t like about HTC is that they are willing to use other chips for their devices, especially if one of their favorite chip is not top dog anymore (fortunately Samsung’s chips have always maintained the lead so far). HTC on the other hand, no matter how good or bad was the performance of Qualcomm chips, they would stick with them. There are hints that this year they will use Tegra and even OMAP chips alongside the Qualcomm ones, but that remains to be seen. I do like that Samsung is …
Google Glasses – The Next Computing Paradigm?
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 06, 2012 with 9 Comments">9
There’s something big coming, and that’s the Google Glasses. I don’t know exactly what the next “personal computing” paradigm will be, but I know that it needs to be even more personal (mainframe-to-minicomputer-to-PC-to-laptop-to-smartphone – all were ever more personal), more mobile, and also cheaper. If I was trying to find out what’s the next computing paradigm, I would go with something that we use even closer to our bodies than laptops or smartphones – it has to touch the skin somehow. A lot of unexpected gadgets could take that place, that we don’t even know about right now, but if …
Android App for Viewing 2D or 3D CAD Designs
by Joe Baquilta on Feb 06, 2012 with 1 Comments">1
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) applications have already invaded the mobile platform. Although most of such programs’ mobile versions may not be as sophisticated as the desktop ones, the main point here is that more and more productivity applications are now brought into the mobile platform. This would mean that mobile devices like tablets and smartphones are getting more useful, productivity-wise. One of the companies who ventured into a CAD app is IMSI Design. The company is known as one of the leading providers of CAD software applications. It has an array of products that are specifically tailored for computer-aided design. One …

by Alexander Maxham on Feb 06, 2012 with 2 Comments">2
Earlier today we told you about the new update for the Droid Razr and Droid Razr Maxx that would be pushing out soon, we also provided you with the changelog, it is now pushing out.

The update weighs in at just 150MB and updates your Android software to Android 2.3.6. Also brings along with it a long changelog, including better battery life …
Monday Poll: Droid Bionic Soak Test, is it Ice Cream Sandwich or a Bug Fix Update?
by Alexander Maxham on Feb 06, 2012 with 1 Comments">1
Yesterday we started hearing about Motorola’s latest soak test for the Motorola Droid Bionic, and immediately people started thinking is it ICS or just a bug fixer update? Perhaps to fix the data drops that have been plaguing our Bionics. Other’s are hopeful that it could be Ice Cream Sandwich. At this point it could be either. So in tonight’s poll, we are simply asking if you think the update Motorola will be testing is a bug fix like .902 or something newer, or if it could be the biggest upgrade in the history of Android, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich. …
Google Offers Further Clarification on Why They Removed “Support” for CDMA Devices in AOSP
by Alexander Maxham on Feb 06, 2012 with 3 Comments">3
Well here we go again, hopefully this will clear up that whole mess from last week where it looked like Google was dropping support for its’ CDMA devices like the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and the Sprint Nexus S 4G, and the upcoming Sprint Galaxy Nexus. According to Android engineer Dan Morril, the device is still a supported “Nexus” device for “everyday use” and will receive updates and all that jazz. Google is just now making it public that they can’t lock down licenses for CDMA binaries like they do with GSM, therefore they cannot distribute them. So to have their developer …
