In some “extra” Galaxy Nexus news (you guys ready for Friday!?) I wanted to make sure our readers were well of a few things before they jump the gun and rush to online retailers for accessories, specifically — batteries. As it turns out, NFC and the stock Galaxy Nexus battery go hand-in-hand. You can’t have [...]

Kindle Fire is a hot topic these days (no pun intended). Yesterday, I told you guys about Amazon releasing the source code for the Fire then, shortly after, we found out the device had been rooted. Fast forward to today, where we now find out the Android Market is now easily installable on the budget [...]

The Android Market not being found on – or anywhere near the Kindle Fire is a turn-off for some prospective buyers. One of the burning questions about the device is whether or not it can sideload apps. This, however inconvenient, could provide for a temporary solution of getting your favorite apps, only be found from [...]

You use the same app day-in and day-out until one day, suddenly, the app is no longer there. No software updates were performed, the phone hadn’t even been turned off since the apps last use, but somehow the app is gone. Disappeared. Houdini’d. Did Verizon or Google remotely wipe the app for security purposes? What [...]

I have to admit, when I first saw the DROID Bionic commercial, I was a little jelly of their new media streaming app, Zumocast. While Motorola and Verizon would like you to believe that Zumocast will only work for DROID devices, with a little bit of tinkering, the app is actually fully functional for just [...]

A few days ago we showed you how to make your (rooted) phone look like Ice Cream Sandwich and today we are going to show you how to make your phone sound like Ice Cream Sandwich. P3Droid extracted the audio files from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus system dump and uploaded them for the world to [...]

We reported a short time ago on a “security issue” facing AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S II units. Apparently, when you unlock the phone and it goes to the lockscreen, merely letting the phone fall back asleep or “timeout” will allow you to quickly awake the device and bypass the lockscreen altogether. Well, in an effort [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s been almost a week since the release of the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch (that’s a mouthful!) and we’ve been hearing murmurs of bugs and other general weirdness affecting the device. Some of the bugs include force closes in the calendar and 4G disconnecting when you’re on a call. According to [...]

About a month ago, two Android researchers were able to find two vulnerabilities within the Android OS that have yet to be addressed or patched up by Google in the latest Android updates. What exactly are these vulnerabilities? Well, the first bug is called a “permission-escalation vulnerability” and apparently, it affects all Android users. The [...]

Quite a few Motorola Photon owners have been experiencing an issue with their device in what they are calling “The Sleep of Death.” Apparently, the device will shut down at random times without warning forcing users to power back on and check for important missed calls and/or texts. MoPho users took to our very own [...]

My good friend @AndroidAtNight on Twitter spent a lot of his free time designing this amazing homescreen based around what he feels like the next iteration of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, could look like. I have to hand it to him — it looks pretty nice. The NIte UI theme takes a lot of design [...]

Ever since the (now) affordable HP TouchPads have hit the market, people have been trying to their best to get Android ported to one of these bad boys. There’s even a $1,500 bounty for anyone that can get working versions of the OS onto the TouchPad. Now a few videos have surface from users who [...]

The HTC DROID Incredible section at AndroidForums.com was filled to the brim with users on Verizon – who also happen to live in New York – having GPS issue. Some users were getting GPS coordinates placing them in Spain and France, while others weren’t able to receive a lock at all. There’s also a sizable [...]

Malware has been a fast growing issue with Android devices as of late. You can find tons of “antivirus” apps in the Android Market and simply traveling into Best Buy you’ll find all kinds of over priced software aimed specifically at naive Android users. Make no qualms about it, I hate malware. There are so [...]

Some users over at AndroidForums.com have discovered that by manually updating to a non-consumer PRL and changing a line in the build.prop file of the Motorola Triumph they’re able to get noticeably increased 3G speeds, with one user professing he’d gone from a low of 80kbps up to a low of around 600. The PRL [...]

I’m always checking the “Get More” section of Sense 3.0 looking for the newest themes but I’m always left sad and disappointed at the lack of new themes available for my Evo 3D. Thankfully, a developer by the name of CypiS on XDA made a sharp and beautiful theme called Amazing Sense. Usually, themes are [...]

  Well, what do we have here? It looks like Google Music (beta) is finally allowing for users to invite friends to join Google’s music streaming service. So let all your friends and family know that they can upload their entire music library and no longer have to worry about precious sd card space. Don’t [...]

Hey, guys! Feeling a bit bummed out that your phone doesn’t have some of those cool camera features found on other devices? One camera feature I know I’ve been feenin’ for was a panorama shot on my Evo 3D. You know, like that one Sony commercial featuring Taylor Swift where she captures that whole crowd [...]
