The best thing about writing posts on news bits I find as opposed to doing any kind of live show, is that I can take needed breaks to laugh hysterically when I find things like this. Honestly, almost any time I see info roll out about pre-paid carriers I’m usually left in a state of hilarity. There’s a source on androidforums.com that claims he’s part of corporate for MetroPCS a... »
Dropbox seems to have quickly become everyone’s first choice when it comes to cloud based storage software. While it reports that it has somewhere in the range of 50 million users who are using the service daily and those users upload over 1 billion files every 48 hours. So the question has always been in peoples minds….”How safe and reliable is this cloud computing stuff we use ... »
It seems as if everyday we have another report of a malware threat invading the Android ecosystem. Well unfortunately, today is no different. The folks over at Symantec identified a new malware that made it into the Google Play store. The threat was disguised as two popular gaming titles “Super Mario Bros.” and “GTA 3 Moscow City”. Both were added to the Google Play store ... »
If you’ve ever downloaded an app on your Android phone in your life, you’re familiar with ad banners. If you’re not familiar with them, there’s something wrong with you, and you need to evaluate your life mistakes again because you’re doing it all wrong. Most apps come in two options A) free with an ad banner which generates revenue to the developer when you’re... »
Oh, boy. It looks like Android users need to watch out for what they download. Shocker. Recently, an app showed up on the Play Store claiming that it’ll make your phone faster by defragmenting it. This app, named “Android Defrag” was promptly removed from the Play Store, along with its $1 Pro version. The app basically says that it’s going to improve your phone’s... »
Has Motorola actually done what it promised last year, and unlocked one of it phones? FUCK No. Yet, does that stop our wonderful community from getting their hands dirty and proving to manufacturers that we will own our devices as we want to, no it sure doesn’t. Last month, a “Kexec” bootloader bypass method was discovered for the GSM Motorola RAZR which allows users to unlock th... »
I’m a loyal Verizon Wireless customer. I truly feel Verizon has the best network in the country, and I have tons of travel across the United States to back up that claim. It works best for me and I have no intentions of leaving Big Red any time soon. However, some actions as of late have raised an eyebrow for me and caused some concern. In particular, the unnecessary bashing and blami... »
To the dismay of many, we learned last week straight from Motorola that the Razr would have a locked bootloader. Motorola wasn’t shy of throwing Verizon straight under the bus either, and in the process blaming the decision on regulations that quite simply don’t exist — trust us, we checked. But there may be some good news for those outside the United States that are thinking of ... »
Face unlock is an Ice Cream Sandwich feature announced at the Galaxy Nexus unveiling. Face unlock does just as the name says; It unlocks your Android device by facial recognition. Now I know many people who watched the press conference seen the face unlock feature fail miserably, but maybe just maybe Matias Duarte’s excuse of having too much makeup on his face actually has merit and shows us... »
Sorry, folks. Coming from the horse’s mouth. the Motorola Droid Razr will have a locked bootloader. The company took some heat on twitter for the decision to lock the bootloader, and it appears Motorola is passing off the blame on Verizon and “regulatory guidelines”. Unfortunately, that last statement seems to be unfounded as there are currently no FCC or FTC regulations that req... »
