Bing, bang, boom. It’s time for another great episode of the Android Overload! This is the place where we drop all the news stories we couldn’t get to throughout the day (we’re only human). Don’t worry, in a few more weeks those chimps with type writers we ordered online will arrive soon and help out. [...]

In what is normally a joyous occasion in the Android community has turned into a nightmare for some. Apparently, LG Optimus S owners who have recently updated their device to Android 2.3 Gingerbread have been reporting more bugs and issues than you can shake a stick at (that means a lot). Sprint has officially acknowledged [...]

To help celebrate the launch of their new 4G LTE network in Australia, Telstra has teamed up with none other than HTC to deliver the carrier’s first 4G device. At the moment, it’s only known under the codename “HTC 4G.” While HTC/Telstra was rather mum on details, they did reveal that the device will feature [...]

We’ve been getting reports that HTC Thunderbolt users are finally receiving that Gingerbread OTA update we told you about earlier today. Well, sorta. A lot of the info on that changelog was actually copy/pasta from Motorola’s change log so don’t expect too many changes. If you haven’t been prompted for the update just yet, you [...]

It’s been a long time coming but it looks as if ZTE is gearing up for their first North American debut on a major carrier thanks to their upcoming N860 handset.

It’s getting closer guys! Can you feel it? The eve of the Samsung Nexus Prime is almost upon us and if you needed any further proof then check out the GSM version (GT-I9250) that just passed through the Bluetooth Special Interest Group today. The “geographic availability” seems to list it as a European device but [...]

If you’re looking for a great RSS/news reader app, Feedly has just been updated in the Android Market and includes a handful of new goodies. Version 6.0 brings about a brand new, more minimal UI. Adding to the list of integrated services like Google Reader, Twitter, Read It Later, Instapaper are the new comers, Tumblr [...]

Best Buy has outed the LG Optimus Slider today by listing the device as “coming soon” on their website. We thought we had this pegged for Sprint but it looks like they may have passed on this device, instead handing it off to Virgin Mobile. While we don’t have too many details to give, we [...]

In case you felt Toshiba’s last tablet offering was a little too.. uh — big boned for ya — they’re at it again this time with smaller Thrive 7-inch in both 16GB and 32GB versions. The biggest appeal with the original 10-inch Thrive was its full sized USB and HDMI ports as well as SD [...]

One of the great things about Android is the freedom to customize our homescreens however we want. If you want to take personalization a little further, there are a plethora of custom homescreen replacements that can be found in the Android Market that allow you to change everything from the dock to the icons on [...]

Every day we peruse the Android Market looking for the best, worst, interesting, and most unique apps in an effort to sift out a few gems. We call it Apps of the Day. We can’t guarantee that every app featured below is a real winner, but each is worth at least a quick look. It’s [...]

Images of several new Motorola tablets have surfaced over the past week or so, and while specific details are scant we could be seeing at least one model launching in time for the holiday season.

Amazon is set to announce their first Android tablet tomorrow, but if new rumors have any veracity to them the retail giant already has their sites set on what comes next. When whispers of an Android-powered slate from Amazon first popped up, all reports pointed towards the release of two tablets. It was then learned [...]

We’ll admit it, we didn’t get the point of Sprint ID when they first announced it. It’s grown on us over time, though, and for more reasons than one. For some of Sprint’s ID enabled phones, like the Epic 4G Touch, it can help you say goodbye to TouchWiz. If for some reason you don’t [...]

CNET says they’ve heard it on great authority (the whole “people familiar with the situation” spiel) that Sprint will be launching an LTE network early 2012. This is likely what Sprint is gearing up to announce sometime this fall as they did confirm major network announcements would be coming soon. It’s a logical step forward [...]

Google has issued the Android 2.3.6 update to Nexus One handsets. If you don’t remember, this update solved an issue that predominately affected Nexus S users – the Voice Search application would activate intermittently and randomly on its own. Unfortunately, we’re hearing that this update somehow breaks pinch-to-zoom in the default Gallery application, something Google [...]
