Verizon has posted the changelog for a new update to the HTC Thunderbolt. The latest software, which leaked within the past few weeks, will bring the Thunderbolt to build number 2.11.605.19 and will resolve some existing connectivity issues as well as enhance the default mail app and enhance VPN functionality. As far as we know, [...]

We’ve gotten our first look of the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE here at CTIA 2012 and early impressions are fairly positive. Despite having an S4 processor, Verizon and HTC don’t consider this device a part of the One series. Looking at the device, I’d say that assessment is accurate. The Incredible 4G’s S4 chip [...]

If you want high-speed wireless coverage, Virginia is the place to be starting May 17th. Verizon is expanding the reach of its 4G LTE network in the state with the addition of Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg, Staunton, Waynesboro, and Martinsville to their network map. The carrier hasn’t faltered in its dedication to blanket the United States in [...]

Verizon and HTC have come together to officially announce what should be a beast of a phone for Big Red users. It’s none other than the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE. Inside are a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and 1GB of RAMs. On the surface are a 4-inch qHD Super LCD display, an 8 megapixel camera [...]

Android Central were tipped with this screenshot showing the Motorola DROID RAZR with blue trims. While it’s rumored to launch on May 18, let’s face it, what we really want to see now from Moto is the Razr HD. How many of you would still spend some money on the Razr just to get it [...]

While the matter of choosing between an Android phone or an iPhone is a case of personal choice, with a significant number of people preferring each platform’s implementation of key features (that’s me at my diplomatic best). However, there is one area where the iPhone just can’t match the flagship Android phones: 4G LTE. And [...]

We can all agree that 911 emergency services can be a life-saver. Therefore, it is a service that should be improved as much as possible, and it seems Verizon Wireless will be the first to take the next step forward. Big Red is currently working on rolling out the ability to send text messages to [...]

We have no idea if Verizon will be getting globally expected devices like the HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy S3, but many Big Red customers are also waiting for the rumored HTC Droid Incredible 4G. And it seems you won’t have to wait that much longer, as the latest rumors are indicating that the [...]

Earlier today we learned of a soak test for a new Motorola DROID 3 software update, and less than 12 hours later Verizon has posted the official changelog. While large in size, the 224MB update isn’t a bump up in OS version to Android 4.0. Instead it will address a plethora of bugs while updating [...]

[Update]: the OTA is, in fact, only going out to those who signed up for the soak test. A soak test is also going out to DROID 3 users. Neither, as you might imagine, is Ice Cream Sandwich. If you’re in Motorola’s test program and you have either of these devices unrooted, be sure to [...]

With Samsung’s announcement for the Galaxy S3 earlier today, the Korean manufacturer mentioned that their upcoming flagship would be launching globally in 145 countries, across 296 operators. Globally is great and all — but what about America? Samsung also mentioned that the GS3 would begin arriving stateside this summer. Okay, summer is great and all [...]

A new version of the Ice Cream Sandwich build for the HTC Rezound has surfaced, bringing a few changes from the last installment and pushing us one step closer to an official rollout. The latest is pegged as build 3.13.605.7 and based on Android 4.0.3. It looks like we’re still not at a point that [...]

Possibly not the kind of news many of you were hoping to hear today, but interesting none the least. A user agent profile popped up online today which could confirm suspicions that the Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 (unconfirmed) may not come with Sammy’s quad-core Exynos. Instead, it seems Samsung could be opting [...]

Earlier today, we learned that some Verizon customers were receiving a mysterious Android 4.0.4 update to their Galaxy Nexus without nary a word from Verizon. Well, it didn’t take long for a few modders on on XDA to crack open the update, making a handy update.zip file ready for the flashing. Unfortunately, applying the update [...]

The bug fixing update to Android 4.0.4 has yet to be officially pegged for release for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, but some users seem to be seeing the update without an official peep from Verizon. At least two users have claimed to receive build IMM76K. Two unrelated reports does sound legit, but it’s still odd [...]

While the original Droid Does campaign, which started with the original DROID and stretched all the way into 2012, was great, you have to admit that it could be a bit intimidating to some. Robots showing everything a device can do is cool, and a lot of the high-tech CGI-made sequences such as the 4G [...]

The Motorola DROID BIONIC looks poised to receive a software update soon as users have begun receiving notifications regarding a soak test. As usual, there’s no telling what these tests will bring but as we haven’t heard about Ice Cream Sandwich updates for some of Motorola’s most recent devices, it’s hard to imagine that the [...]

Verizon’s Xperia Play has received a new update that adds a couple of important enhancements, but also adds a bit more bloatware. To start, VZ Navigator and Video On-Demand have been pre-installed. The power button can be held down to take screenshots. The right trigger can be used as a camera button within the camera [...]

When it comes to my Android devices, I have a tendency to treat them as if they were my babies. And not only because I would do whatever it takes to keep them safe, but I also find some kind of weird pleasure in dressing them up in various outfits to suit my mood. Whether [...]

Those of you who aren’t fans of contract-based plans will be happy to know that Verizon is adding another prepaid option. The plan is exclusive to the Samsung Illusion for now, and will included unlimited calling and texts, plus 1GB of data for $80 per month. All things considered, it sounds like a very decent [...]
