HTC’s director of public relations Tom Harlin… Read more
Verizon is rolling an update out to their Samsung Galaxy Note II, and it’s a big one. Its build I605VRAMC3 and weighs in at a hefty 246MB, because it’s a bump to a new Android version. No, it isn’t 4.2, but it is 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It isn’t a major change, but Samsung did include a few nice changes in the TouchWiz software. For example, multi… Read more
