Looks like Verizon and Motorola are giving the original DROID RAZR owners a bit of a Christmas present. People are getting update notifications today for a hefty 331MB update. Because it was unannounced, no one knew what the update was, but surprisingly, it turned out to be Jelly Bean! After a long delay to get to Ice Cream Sandwich, it’s nice to see… Read more
The Galaxy S III may be Samsung’s flagship, but its predecessor, the Galaxy S II, is still alive and kicking. With a dual core Exynos 4 processor, a great 8MP camera, and a gorgeous (if very low res) Super AMOLED Plus PenTile-free display, it’s still a fantastic phone to have (it’s my daily driver). And lucky for us, it’s still being supported. While it… Read more
A few days ago, T-Mobile announced an update to the Galaxy Note II. Despite being a small update, it included one important feature left out of many US Galaxy Note II variants: Multi-window. For those who own T-Mobile Galaxy Note II’s, the update is rolling out today! It is only 73.29MB (and thus fast and safe to download on a mobile network). Aside… Read more
T-Mobile and Samsung are soon updating the Note II, and it comes with the coveted multi-window. We aren’t sure why it was taken out of some US Note II variants, but we’re glad T-Mobile is putting it back in. Along with multi-window, the update will also resolve Exchange calendar events not appearing in the Calender app and a fix for an issue of not… Read more

US Cellular might be a little late with this update, but they’re still supporting a fairly old device. They are updating their Galaxy S II to Ice Cream Sandwich, specifically Android 4.0.4. The build is FK19 and can only be installed using the “Simple Upgrade Tool.” Why we need another tool is beyond me, considering we already have an over-the-air… Read more

If you own a Verizon Galaxy S III, go to Settings > About phones > System update and check for new updates. You might not get it immediately, since it’ll be rolling out in the next few days,… Read more
Verizon may be the last of the big four carriers to announce their Galaxy S III Jelly Bean update, but it’s finally here. Their Galaxy S III will be getting the update tomorrow, and will roll out over the next week or so.

The Samsung Galaxy Note II had a leaked Android 4.1.2 build a while ago, and now the official update is rolling out to some people internationally. Though the change from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 isn’t big, Samsung made it even better with a bunch of new features. The one that is most useless but most awesome is the new ink effect. As you probably know, touching… Read more
