BGR’s heard word from their Sprint contact that Sprint and HTC are getting ready to release a maintenance update for the HTC EVO 4G. The update will apparently address several issues that EVO owners have been griping about, including improved Wi-Fi performance, a sync issue with the device’s built-in Facebook application that could’ve been severely [...]

Shortly after T-Mobile UK started shipping the device, Vodafone’s doing the same. We were wondering what this little joy’s release date would turn out to be seeing as HTC hadn’t given us anything solid. After missing the rumored June 15th date, we contacted Vodafone for clarification on when we should expect to see this phone, [...]

Even if I’ve been following Android’s development since the earlier parts of 2008, I’d never known that Google has the functionality to remotely remove any application from your device that they deem necessary. There’s a reason we don’t hear about this: they don’t do it often, and when they do, it’s usually for a very [...]

Sony Ericsson’s taking app promotion on Android a step further by introducing a new site called Mash-App. The site allows you to create a list of apps that fits a certain “category” that you choose. If you want to share the best apps you can think of for listening to music on the go, you [...]

It’s almost mandatory to see a phone get a software update shortly after it’s been released to the public (albeit the very small public, at this time). After Verizon and Motorola gathered the media into a pair of meeting places in New York and San Francisco yesterday, outlets who received review units were prompted to [...]

Not long after Google announced that Android 2.2′s source was being published to their developer site, many Nexus One users (the ones that originally got FRF50 shortly after Google IO) received an OTA update with the build number FRF83. There’s no word yet on what this build changes or does, but we should note that [...]

Skyfire was the source of a lot of ruckus when they released the latest version of their Android browser. The browser enabled users to access Flash video content in a very unique way. Instead of showing the video content embedded on the site, the browser will instead detect any flash video content and start playing [...]

Yesterday, one big question from the vocal group of original Motorola Droid owners was repeatedly asked: when are we going to get Froyo? Not to worry, my friends, because it appears Motorola has not forgotten about you: you’ll be able to get  your own taste of Android 2.2 this July. That’s a very refreshing timeframe [...]

Droid X Day is over… and Droid X Month begins. It will be a little more than 20 days until the Motorola Droid X lands on Verizon Wireless for $199… but until then we’ll have MORE than enough to hold you over. First up? A promotional video featured during the Droid X event presentation/press-conference: From [...]

There is something exceedingly cool about seeing the insides of any piece of technology, seeing how it all fits together underneath the polished exterior. Taking a look at the interior of the micro-handset that is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini might be even a bit cooler given its size. iFixit did a number to [...]

The Dell Streak’s identity crisis continues as the Android device starts to skew closer to the tablet and MID side of things rather than as a straight-up smartphone. The latest revelation is the inclusion of the Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) profile, allowing the Streak to connect to Bluetooth keyboards and input devices. That’s a [...]

[UPDATE]: According to this post on the Android Developer’s Blog, the Market should be back to normal: “Earlier today we had a brief outage in Android Market. For a period of about thirty minutes, some users were unable to find any apps. The problem was detected and corrected, and we believe the user experience is [...]

Now that Google has open-sourced the code for Froyo (Android 2.2) you better believe the folks at CyanogenMod aren’t just going to sit on their hands and wait for the manufacturer’s to port the OS to their phones. Not in the least, as the team is already plugging away at the next version of their [...]

If the results of the following video hold any truth, the Samsung Galaxy S’ Super AMOLED screen may be just a little more than a beautiful looking piece of glass. Compared to the HTC Desire’s screen, at least, the multitouch tracking and response seems much better. Both points are read with little loss in tracking [...]

It looks like the land of crab fisherman and polar bears will be seeing more than enough of the Motorola Milestone and HTC Desire as regional carrier ACS has announced via their Facebook page that they will be getting the devices. They will join GCI who beat them to the punch in announcing the same [...]

T-Mobile has big news and they are dropping clues to help those curious enough to figure out what it is. They even launched a website (www.t-mobileclue.com) with a puzzle teasing their announcement. Now if only the people of the internet weren’t so quick, because the case was cracked much sooner than the countdown timer leading [...]

Coming straight from the Droid X unveiling today in New York we have our first look at the Droid X car dock and a few other accessories that will be available for the phone. It’s getting the standard treatment with scratch guards, a multimedia cradle, and charging options. There is even an answer to the [...]

At last months Google I/O, it was revealed that new Android devices were activated at a rate of 100,000 per day. The number of apps in the Android Market was also pegged at 50,000. Just a few weeks later Andy Rubin has reported in with a set of updated figures showing Android’s rapid growth. At [...]

The Motorola Droid X lends itself to some pretty easy comparisons the HTC EVO 4G, and why not? The two devices easily class each other on most aspects (most obviously size), and the one that comes out on top boils down to personal preference. But one point that is sure to be discussed is the [...]

At today’s announcement it was revealed that the Motorola Droid X would be shipping with Android 2.1 and an updated version of MotoBlur. But don’t fret, because Motorola isn’t resting on getting Android 2.2 up and ready for the handset, promising that it will hit the device later in the summer. When asked whether or [...]
