We first started talking about ISIS, the Google Wallet alternative, months ago, but since then we’ve heard only a few minimal updates regarding the service. They were still working hard though, especially with this newest update. Apparently they have delay the test launch of their service, due to changing the way their payment/purchase process works; instead of having carriers process paymen... »
One of the most amazing things about Android is the fact that consumers are not tied down to one specific device in order to run the Android operating system. As we all know, there are a number of manufacturers out there who are players in the competitive smartphone field, and that number seems to just keep getting bigger. Of course, we’re all familiar with the big dogs by now — Samsun... »
Hello again, and welcome to another accessory review for the Samsung Galaxy S III. Today, I’ll be taking a look at the first of a few different cases for the device that our friends from Amzer were kind enough to ship out to me. Once I make it through all the cases in this series, I’ll do a nice little giveaway, as I certainly won’t need that many cases for my phone. Sharing is c... »
It’s been a couple of months now since we first mentioned ISIS, the mobile payments system that aims to compete with the ever-popular Google Wallet. According to a report from TmoNews, T-Mobile customers in select areas might just get to give the service a trial run, come the latter part of next month. While details are scarce at the moment, it looks as if an ISIS pilot program will begin on... »
Chalk up two more devices in the quickly growing list of those lucky enough to already have custom Jelly Bean ROMs. The HTC Amaze 4G and HTC Sensation are the newest inductees into the Android 4.1 custom ROM family, thanks to alpha builds that popped up for both devices over on XDA. Before we get into the details, let’s give credit where credit is due, shall we? Heading up the project f... »
It’s been a busy past week for the CyanogenMOD camp. With the recent code freeze placed on the CM9 development branch and several new devices added to the nightlies roster, it almost seemed as though the CM7.2 project had been placed on the back burner, at least for the time being. Fortunately, that wasn’t even close to the case and we’re glad to announce a major (and likely the ... »
A new update is now available for the Amazon App Store app for Android. The new version is labeled 2.6.53 and bring along with it a pretty sweet new feature, called “Test Drive”. Essentially, users can now instantly try out an application, free of charge, before actually purchasing it. You might remember, a while back this functionality was added to the App Store website, but it’... »
For all of you HTC Amaze owners (like Tony) out there the wait is over for you all. Android 4.0 ICS is now available for you starting today and rolling out over the air to your devices, but who wants to wait for new software. Go to your settings and pull the software in to the device by checking for new software. Make sure that your device is plugged in or has at least 50% battery or it wont let y... »
As an HTC Amaze 4G owner, it always makes me happy to see development progress for the device. It took quite some time, but now that Ice Cream Sandwich is unofficially available (until tomorrow when T-Mobile pushes out the official update) the community is actively working on a number of different projects that aim to make this phone even more Amaze-ing that it already is. Today, I got a heads up ... »
OK. So, now that I’ve had some time to tinker with that leaked S-Voice APK file we told you about earlier, there are two things I’d like to say about it. First, the leaked file did not like to play nicely with my phone. I have an HTC Amaze 4G running Ice Cream Sandwich and many of the voice commands I tried caused forced closes, which came as no surprise to me, considering the applicat... »
