Is your AT&T Galaxy Note hungry for ICS? A buttery-smooth leaked ROM might help
by Bams Sadewo on May 11, 2012 7 Comments">7
You’ve probably heard, read, and secretly wept knowing that folks in Europe that rock a Galaxy Note are now receiving the OTA update to Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Along with ICS, the update brings the promised Premium Suite for the Galaxy Note, which consists of several new S Pen-optimized apps. Stateside, the owners of the Galaxy Note on AT&T don’t have anything to cheer for yet, with old Ma Bell still not ready to share any specifics about the ICS upgrade. But the impatient (and adventurous) types have probably given the unofficial ICS version that leaked last month a bash. …

Over the last couple of months, we’ve been seeing a significant increase in the percentage of devices running Android 4.0 ICS.

Remember the good old Motorola DROID 2? And for that matter, remember Gingerbread?

First Motorola DROID X OTA update already available?
by Michael Oryl on Jun 24, 2010 0 Comments">0
Rather unexpectedly, as I played around with the new Moto DROID X for Verizon, I discovered that there was an over the air update waiting for the device. That update claimed to be able to upgrade the firmware from version 1.13.514 to 1.13.516. Except it didn’t work. The update process is reporting that there is insufficient storage space available to download the update. The fact that there is over 6GB of built-in storage available and nearly 15GB of microSD storage available is something that it chooses to overlook. I don’t know what to make of this so far, but I’m …

by Michael Oryl on May 26, 2010 36 Comments">36
I got word back from a Verizon Wireless rep moments ago regarding all of the complaints we are seeing in comments about the recent HTC DROID Eris Android 2.1 over the air firmware update. We were told that the tech gurus are already working on the weather widget issue, but that other less frequently cited problems (such as missing call audio and message notification issues) have not been properly documented yet. I was advised that people with problems other than the weather widget should call Verizon Wireless or bring their DROID Eris to a Verizon Wireless retail store. Verizon is …

Motorola, via their MotoMobile Twitter page has posted an official response to people questioning them on why they haven’t received the OTA update that had the internet abuzz last week. It turns out that there was no update. Tracing the original story back to its roots I found that Engadget had originally reported the story based on the fact that some of their forum users were claiming they had received the update. I never received one myself and now I know why, but I can’t say that I’m not disappointed, the wait for 2.1 is getting harder and harder every …
Motorola Droid OTA update leading to 2.1 release?
by Chuck Zich on Jan 20, 2010 2 Comments">2
Droid owners, it’s time to start getting excited. Rumor has it that the new OTA update that is being rolled out right now is said to be part 1 of 2 and is actually a preparation for the update to 2.1. The first OTA update, coming in at 61MB, was previously reported to have fixed a Facebook app glitch that prevented users from downloading the latest version. While this is true, the sheer size of the update seems to offer more than a minor glitch fix. After a little digging, people are also reporting that all internal testing is done …
