All U.S. Android phones to receive Android 2.1, but some will require a wipe

Considering over 80% of our readers with Android phones are running an outdated version of the operating system, I think most of you will find this interesting. There has been some confusion over which phones would receive an Android 2.1 update and I am partially to blame. I authored a post way back in August that called into question the G1’s ability to receive future updates. Google eventually found a way to make Donut (Android 1.6) fit on the G1 and I was proven wrong. Since that time, I have maintained that the full ...

OpenEclair 1.2.2 Released

A new version  of OpenEclair has been release for public consumption.  I don't have any real details about the contents of the new release.  I'm guessing it was a late night release and no one has updated the forum thread yet.

Apples and Androids

Posted by Jolie Gendel on March 11th, 2010

Peter Wayner, technology writer, author, and iPhone developer was given a Nexus One to experiment with for a few weeks. In a lengthy but interesting article at InfoWorld, he detailed his experiences and impressions. The short version; Peter thought highly of Android. So much that he flat out states Android is a better tool for programmers and their enterprise employers than other devices on the market. As with any other review, he starts with the obvious superficial comparisons but quickly moves to the meat of things: The Android line is now competitive enough that the casual user may look at the two ...

Bike directions added to Google Maps.

Posted by Alex Hamilton on March 11th, 2010

Ever wanted to go biking but didn't know your way? Google has fixed that with its latest update to Google Maps. The new bicycling layer for Google Maps, accessible via the “More…” drop down menu at the top of the map, will display an overlay of the various bike-friendly roads and trails around town. The layer is color-coded to show three different types of paths: Dark green indicates a dedicated bike-only trail; Light green indicates a dedicated bike lane along a road; Dotted green indicates roads without bike lanes but are more appropriate for biking, based on factors such as terrain, traffic, and intersections. A ...

Tmobile G1’s Getting an OTA update?

23
Posted by Alex Hamilton on March 11th, 2010

Some people who own a G1 on the TMobile network may notice a update, here's what a TMobile Rep had to say: We are aware some T-Mobile G1 and T-Mobile myTouch 3G customers have received an over-the-air update. It was sent to a small, controlled pilot and is not yet available to all customers. The update (DMD64) is intended to improve the phone's call performance and is NOT Éclair. We will post updates to these Forums with more information when the software upgrade is available to all T-Mobile G1 and T-Mobile myTouch 3G customers.

LG’s first Android Handset for Korean Market !

1
Posted by Asad Rafi on March 11th, 2010

LG is set to release their first Android handset in South Korea. It will be known as LG Andro-1 or KH5200. It's looking as though South Korea may be the next big mobile market. With more than three quarters of the country's population being mobile phone users, look for more cellphone manufacturers to set up shop in South Korea. Last week in South Korea, Motorola launched the MotoROI and last year, Apple launched the iPhone. Samsung is set to release a handset with Android 2.1 in a couple weeks. It appears as though LG wants their piece but they have some stiff ...

Motorola i1 will be a “Non-Google” handset, Opera Mini will be default

4
Posted by Asad Rafi on March 11th, 2010

The guys over at Engadget have some news on the Motorola i1. Also known as Opus One. Apparently the i1 will come equipped with a 5MP camera and not the previously mentioned 3MP. It's also rumored to have Opera Mini as the default browser. This is another of Motorola's Android powered (Blur) devices sans Google. Will this be a trend in their future releases? It looks as though the handset will be launched in the near future for Sprint Direct Connect and Boost Mobile customers. Let us know what you think. Leave a comment. Source: Engadget

Nexus One Radio Ruined by Applications ?

Posted by Simon Walker on March 10th, 2010

Is your radio broken? The HTC/Google Nexus One is an awesome phone, but it sounds like everyone is still having major radio issues.  I know I frequently have issue's when I'm driving through a certain spot on my way home from work.  I'll frequently drop calls and when I look at my phone,  there will be NO data connection what-so-ever. What is the problem and why is it taking so long for the team of HTC, Google and T-Mobile to work out a solution?  At least they are all admitting that there is a problem and they are working on a solution. We've ...

Inventor of the Cell Phone Joins the Android Community.

Posted by Joseph Swipes on March 10th, 2010

It has been confirmed by CSPAN that Martin Cooper, the inventor of the cell phone, is an official member of the Android Community. You can follow Martin on Twitter, his twitter ID is @MartyMobile. Martin gave his iPhone to his grandson in favor of a Motorola Droid. Good move Martin! What better of an endorsement to the Android Community than the inventor of the cell phone picking up an Android phone. I wonder if Martin's phone is rooted? Could he be running the latest 2.1 custom ROM all theme'd out? The big question now is, will Martin dump his Motorola Droid when the Nexus ...

As the Dell Mini 5 release draws ever closer, more and more details emerge about this product. This ad here proves most of the specifications we've seen such as the 5 inch screen with a resolution of 800x480, 30 pin docking connector, capacitive touch buttons at the front, a 5 mega-pixel with auto focus and flash, and a front camera for video chatting. Well this ad boasts that the Dell Mini will be released in various colors, along with consumer choices for a personal color scheme or design. That possibly means you can upload a picture and have it printed ...

Android to Receive “Tether” App, Sign Up for Beta

Posted by Ray Poole on March 10th, 2010

Tether, the popular Blackberry application that lets you tether your phone to a PC and use your phone as a internet connecting, is coming to Android. Now we all know most tether apps get pulled from the markets, for obvious reasons at that, but here's to hoping that this one doesn't. According to Tether, this app will allow you fast transfer speeds from your phone to your computer giving you a stable, and fast connection. With the Blackberry version running on both Mac and Windows it's safe the assume that this will also run on both. If you would like to ...

One Month of Nexus Thoughts from an Ex-Nokia Users Perspective

0
Posted by Simon Walker on March 10th, 2010

Stefan Constantinescu over at IntoMobile has been using his Nexus for the last month and has written a real nice, informative summary of his experience with the new device.  One thing I definitely agree with is the missing hardware buttons... I miss them.  He has a lot more to say in his review though. I’ve been using the Google Nexus One exclusively since February 10th, and after one month of getting to know most, if not all, of the capabilities of my shiny new toy, I figure it’s time to share some thoughts about the device itself, and ...

Android continues to be upwardly mobile

Posted by Jolie Gendel on March 10th, 2010

Take a gander at that. In just three short months, Android grew an impressive 4% with the competition not even coming close to catching up. Go Android. Why the huge jump? You can thank the Droid, which was released in October. Droid should really be sending thank you notes to it's marketing department about now. It will be interesting to see how this chart changes once Nexus One sales are accounted for. Head over to comScore to see more graphs, including what people do with their smartphones [Source AndroidCentral, comScore]

The true value of the Android Community… #Baconday

Posted by Simon Walker on March 10th, 2010

I'm assuming you all got the gist of Baconday, 4 days ago when @kmobs, @wootroot and @chrissoyars all chipped together and send @Cyanogen $175 worth of bacon.  What a hoot.  All you have to do is search for #baconday on twitter and you'll see the whole history. Well today was the first photo I've seen from Cyanogen showing the mass of pig meat that showed up on his door. Awesomeness.... This is what the Android community is all about.  Feeding the starving developers.... LOL In all seriousness, these guys are all major contributors to the Android community and our thanks go out to ...

Posted by Jason Bowdach on March 10th, 2010

Meltus, developer of the app Louder Volume Hack, has been busy working hard on a brand new hack which he intends to turn into a new app eventually. For those of you not familiar with Louder Volume Hack (currently at v3.5), it pushes customized audio equalizer and volume settings to the /system partition, which provides a significant boost in volume to both the speaker-phone, headset, and Bluetooth devices, along with a major improvement in the clarity of music playback. The app is completely user-configurable, allowing for you to select either volume-specific hacks (which have the potential to increase distortion slightly, ...

Rumor: T-Mobile US training employees on HTC Desire?

36
Posted by Asad Rafi on March 10th, 2010
HTC Desire 540x446

It's really confusing me now. First we heard that the HTC Desire will hit AT&T in May/June period, and now, according to Androincia, a manager at a T-Mobile USA store was being trained on several phones that are coming to the carrier this year, and the HTC Desire is on the list. They also said that they contact other T-Mobile employees and they said that their manager's are off for training. Does this mean the HTC Desire will hit T-Mobile soon? It's a rumor but i can see the truth in it. The Desire is almost similar to the Nexus One but ...

Protecting yourself from the cloud

1
Posted by Jolie Gendel on March 10th, 2010

We all love Gmail as well as Google's tendency to keep things running as smoothly as possible. But snafus do happen; all that data is stored in “the cloud” on Google servers in what some consider the most state-of-the-art, redundant and reliable network of data centers located all over the globe.  Your personal data is syncing with out a hitch.  After all, if you can’t rely on what is arguably the largest, most talent rich of cloud providers in the world, who can you rely on? A quick Google search — yes, I understand the irony — reveals that there are plenty of people, ...
