Google has updated quite a few apps today. One of those is Google Voice. It’s a bug fixing update, but it’s a pretty significant one. It fixes delayed SMS notifications and inbox syncing issues. The inbox syncing issue caused duplicate notifications because they were not being cleared on other devices when you checked them on one. All this is fixed now,… Read more
Adam Outler has been a huge contributor to XDA, creating the original UnBrickable Mod for the Galaxy S. He has expanded this mod across many devices to this day, saving many people from hard bricks and spending another $600 or more. And if you’re a Samsung Galaxy Camera owner, you might someday need it. Of course, only attempt this procedure if you… Read more
The Amazon Appstore has been updated today, and just like many app updates recently, the main fix is an Android 4.2 compatibility issue. Before the update, if you switched user accounts in Android, it would ask you to log into the Appstore again. This update fixes the issue along with a battery drain issue that’s been plaguing some people. One thing… Read more

If you received the update to Android 4.2 on your Nexus device yesterday and are a Google Voice user, you might have noticed that Voice had started force closing to the point of becoming useless. Luckily, Google issued a quick update today fixing all the issues with 4.2. All you Voice users can go back to texting now! And Google, thank you for releasing… Read more
What HTC has done to Android multitasking with Sense 4.x has been a big controversy. Some people don’t mind it, and some people (like me) despise it. Every app you use closing after 5 seconds of being in the background is a bit ridiculous: answering a text kills off the previously used app, meaning you lose progress in your paused YouTube video or any… Read more
The T-Mobile Galaxy S II is getting a new update, though it’s very minor. The new build is LH1 and it stays on 4.0.3 (which is too bad, Samsung’s 4.0.4 builds are a massive improvement). You’ll need the Kies computer software to install the update. The changelog states bug fixes and “ISIS/NFC update” which is very interesting. This is the first trace… Read more
The Samsung Stratosphere has not enjoyed the best life. It was released almost a year ago, basically a re-release of the Epic 4G. Since then, it has not received any attention from updates. But now, its day has come. Its first update has arrived, and it’s not a small one. The build is called FF1 and is 53.8MB in size. The Android version… Read more
It has been reported that the Android 4.0.4 update is being pushed to unlocked HTC One S devices all over Europe through OTA. This comes about a week after the One X got the same update. It bumps the version of Sense to 4.1, which is a big update. This should fix some bugs, make the camera faster, and if it’s anything like the update for its bigger… Read more
Sprint and Samsung are releasing a followup to the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Epic 4G Touch, fixing but a single thing. The only improvement is battery life, but that’s a very important factor. Glad they’re pushing out updates like this. It’s an OTA, so go into Settings and check for new updates on your phone now, and tell us how it… Read more
