Motorola: Third-party apps aren’t killing your phone, sorry devs
On June 3rd, CEO of Motorola Mobility, Sanjay Jha, was quoted as saying, Android is really truly multitask so you can run 64 parallel apps at the same time. That has an impact on consumer experience and we're beginning to understand it and understand why 70% plus of devices that come back are because they're downloading third party applications and the impact...

Hey all, just a friendly another reminder that at 7 PM EDT tomorrow evening, the Live Chat will be held at PhoneDog’s Ustream Channel. For your convenience, I have embedded the stream below. You can also watch from your Android device by downloading the Ustream app, which can be found here. On a quick side-note: this week, I plan on stealing a few ideas from...

During a presentation at the recent Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Technology conference, Motorola Mobility's CEO Sanjay Jha has spilled the beans on why he says most Android phones are brought back after sale. According to Jha, some 70% of Android phones are returned because of poor performance thanks to third-party applications. Essentially, Jha says...

If you're a developer who relies on PayPal for in-app purchase, and you've been experiencing problems with payments recently, the reason behind those hangups may come as a rather frustrating surprise. According to one developer, PayPal has recently decided to revamp their API for Android without telling those who rely on PayPal for in-app purchase in Android...

Amazon's free app of the day is one of the things that really got the alternative market up and running. When the Amazon Appstore was first launched, you could find some amazing paid apps for free, and blogs were gobbling it up. The public attention surrounding the program may have died down a little lately, but the free paid apps are still going strong. So the...

Whenever Google releases a phone -- Nexus One, Nexus S -- one of the most popular reasons for buying it is a usually unadvertised feature: "fastboot oem unlock." It should come as no surprise at this point that Android users like to mess around with their phones. Whether it's only as far as a custom launcher, or taken all the way to custom ROMs. Unfortunately, if... Read more » Android Live Chat #4 on Wednesday at 7PM EST! (Updated)
Update: We will be using PhoneDog's Ustream channel (linked below) instead of DroidDog's. This means you can also view the stream from DroidDog's Facebook page under the Ustream tab, and you can also ask me questions there! See you at 7! Hey all, I'm just popping in to let you know that the Android Live Chats are not over. I've been away and making some changes...

Recently, a website was brought to my attention that at first glance, seems like a great idea. You essentially pay a $5.00 donation fee, every month, for access to ROMs, themes, apps, and support on how to properly use them. As good as that sounds, it's not that cut-and-dry. You see, the Android Community works on one very big honor system. Thanks to the open... Read more » Launcher Pro Beta includes app drawer skinning and ADW compatibility
Federico Carnales, the bright mind behind Launcher Pro, has just put out a new beta for his ever-popular customizable launcher that adds some new functionality, customization options, and a rather odd compatibility choice. The ability to hide app labels, use icons packs, and "real homescreen looping" are all great additions to the launcher, but compatibility... Read more »
