Rhapsody, the all-you-can-eat music streaming service has just seen an updated version hit the Play Store and it comes with a few new goodies. To start off, there’s the new ability to download individual albums and music tracks to your phone’s storage for when your network connection is less than ideal. Users can actually decide where they can store the offline tracks — whether it be the removable SD card, or internal storage. Options are good.
As a refresher for those that haven’t used the app in awhile, the previous update increased playback streaming by 30%. Still, the app still has some work ahead of it. There are some features like artist bios available in the web version of Rhapsody, but missing from the Android app. You can download Rhapsody for free from the Google Play Store, but a trial or subscription is required for music playback. If you haven’t signed up, Rhapsody is still having a summer sale where the normal $10 a month unlimited streaming service can be had for only $5 for the first 3 months.
Facebook is rolling out a new feature to some of their Android users today which gives the app the ability to auto upload photos to the social network ala Google+. Photo’s wont immediately hit your timeline, instead, they’ll be marked private until you manually go in and make them public on your profile. Again, this feature isn’t enabled for everyone just yet (checked for myself and it’s a no-go), but if you’d like to enable syncing from your Android device, you can follow these simple steps.
To start syncing your photos, make sure you have the latest version of Facebook for Android installed on your phone.
From the app:
Go to your timeline
Tap Photos
Tap Sync at the bottom of your photos section. Follow the step-by-step instructions.
From your computer:
Go to your timeline
Click Photos
Click Synced From Phone at the top of your photos section. Follow the step-by-step instructions.
You can choose how many photos you'd like to sync, and privately store up to 2GB of photos.
Now, if Facebook could maybe put new features on the back burner, while they iron out some of the bugs currently plaguing the app, I might actually start using it again.
Google’s Matias Duarte is more than just a snappy dresser, he’s also Google’s Senior Director of Android User Experience. Today, the man responsible for taking Android’s design out of the stone-age and into the brave new world of Holo UI, was congratulated on the official Android Google+ page after being recognized as one of Fast Company’s “50 Designers Shaping the Future.”
While most Google+ users were quick to send Matias their praise and congratulatory messages for all his hard work (pre-ICS, Android wasn’t exactly known for its beauty), the thread quickly became overrun by users who jumped on the opportunity to point out Android’s current design flaws. It’s true. Android isn’t totally “there” yet — anyone who spends a lot of time in OS can tell you that. This general feeling was also echoed by Matias who responded to design criticisms saying:
It’s true, we still have a lot of work to do. Personally I feel like I’ve gotten only about a third of the way to where I want to be with regards to consistency, responsiveness, and polish.
Better get back to work!
If you thought things were looking pretty polished already in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean despite uneven icons and general UI inconsistencies — there’s still a lot of work to be done but you can rest assured that Matias Duarte is on it.
Google has announced some nice changes to Google Maps that will make it more convenient for people to locate their most frequently visited places. Google will bring up your directions and places search history from your desktop searches to autocomplete places you might be looking for on mobile.
This is a very much needed feature for yours truly, and I’m amazed it took to so long. You’ll need to be signed in to your Google account with web history enabled for this to work, but the process to do all that is quite fast and easy. Go ahead and try it on your phone, and get Google Maps from the Google Play Store if you don’t already have it (for shame). [Google]

A small update has hit the AT&T Galaxy S3 today, and don’t expect it to set the world ablaze. It’s an 82MB update that doesn’t look to change much at first glance, but there are a few changes to be had.
The settings menu has been reworked as the Kies Over WiFi setting has been moved to the bottom of “More Settings.” There also seems to be more effects in the camera app, a new VPN app, changes to the keyboard, and more.
There’s a bit of a “what doesn’t belong” game going on XDA right now where users are posting their findings of what’s new. Why don’t you join in on the fun and poke around to see what’s changed while we attempt to procure a changelog? You’re looking for build IMM76D.I747UCALH9. [via XDA, thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
The other day we learned AT&T would be bringing 4G LTE to Birmingham and Memphis, but it looks like even more cities than that are set to get the high speed mobile data network.
Portland, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Detroit, Sacramento, and Honolulu are all good to go for fast consumption of data. You’ll need a 4G-capable smartphone, tablet, or hotspot, of course, but you probably wouldn’t be reading this site if you didn’t already have one of the three. Let us know if you’re seeing any of these cities light up.
The LG Optimus G was shown off in the United States recently, and with its showing stateside naturally comes news of when it will arrive. LG has mentioned that the device will be here Q4 of this year.
With that, they’ve also posted a new 6 minute video tour of the device for those of us who want to see LG’s new Optimus UI before playing with one themselves.
The phone’s beast-like specs turned more than a few heads in the mobile space, but it’ll be the user interface, software support, and bugs that’ll determine whether or not the Optimus G will be the attractive device we’re hoping it will be. Watch the video above.
Samsung has just released a new 90 second ad spot for the Samsung Galaxy S3, and it takes us back to the build-up to the Galaxy S3′s launch. Yep, that’s right — it’s a new “next best thing” ad, and this time all the Apple fans waiting in line for the iPhone 5 are teeming with anguish over the fact that it’s already bested by the Samsung Galaxy S3.
They look on in awe as friends instantly share photos, “bump” phones to share playlists using NFC, and speak of the wizardry that involves being able to watch a video and send a text at the same time.
The actors/actresses in this spot were so good that I felt genuinely sorry for the guy who hopelessly wondered if the next version of the iPhone would be getting some of those features before the iPhone 5 is even out. Get your eyes on the video above.
Our WinSource team is live in New York City where HTC gathered the press and mobile industry to announce the HTC 8X and 8S. “But what happened to 2-7,” you ask. I’ll admit it — I wasn’t sure what HTC would do after “One” either, but note that these names likely allude to the fact that these will be Windows Phone 8 devices.
What you’re getting are some of the best looking phones over in that side of the mobile game. The 8X features 4.3 inch HD display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, NFC, an 8 megapixel HD camera, and more.
Meanwhile, the 8S is sporting a 4 inch WVGA display, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage. This one’s not exactly setting the world on fire, of course, but it should be presented as a budget option for those new to the smartphone game.
Like Samsung, HTC is starting to get serious about other mainstream operating systems. They, also like Samsung, have had great history with Microsoft and its mobile operating system.
With Android doing so well it’s easy to forget that these OEMs don’t pay allegiance to whatever gets them the most money. It’s unwise to spread yourself thin in the mobile space, and with this new series of Windows Phone products HTC will find themselves having to balance the best of both worlds.
Should we expect less focus on Android? Of course not. It’s still HTC’s bread maker, and even if Windows Phone skyrockets over the course of the next one or two years they will no doubt allow the two to coexist in the same portfolio.
And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Let’s just hope HTC’s readying a bevy of new, interesting next-generation Android devices to be shown off early next year. [via WinSource]
Those of you waiting for the Galaxy Note in the US can look forward to some good news this morning. Samsung and all 5 major carriers have announced plans to carry the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. By now, you know that carrier list includes T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, and US Cellular.
While none of the carriers are willing to offer a hard date for availability just yet, we do have some general windows. Don’t be shocked that all of those windows are “Fall 2012″ as we’re sure most of these guys are trying to get their wares out right before the busy holiday shopping season.
We do have pricing info for at least one carrier, though. US Cellular will be offering a 16GB version in Titanium Gray for $300, and theirs is slated for late October. Others haven’t announced anything other than they’ll be getting it, though, so we’ll have to wait for further information from each respective carrier.
Now that you know you’ll be able to get the device on virtually every carrier in the US, the question remains — are you buying one? It’s the new kid on the block, and while the Samsung Galaxy S3 is still a great device the Galaxy Note has all the tools to trump it. Sound off in the comments below, and read on for full press details.
Samsung Mobile Introducing Galaxy Note®II in Time for the Holidays with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular
Redesigned S Pen and apps, sharing capabilities and quad-core Exynos™ processor enhances productivity, creativity and performance
DALLAS — September 19, 2012 — Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung Mobile) – the No.1 mobile phone provider in the United States1 – will launch the Galaxy Note® II in the U.S. with five major carriers by mid-November. Exact pricing and retail availability will be announced by each of the carriers.
Optimized for the fastest 4G LTE* and HSPA+ 42 networks, the Galaxy Note II combines some of the best capabilities of the Galaxy S® III with an enhanced S Pen and new S Pen apps, the processing power to multitask like a PC, with a larger screen yet in a thinner, lighter form factor. The Galaxy Note II enables consumers that want a larger format device to create, collaborate and now share original content faster and easier than before.
"The original Galaxy Note® created a new category of smartphones by combining the best of a smartphone with the best of a tablet. In less than a year, Samsung sold more than 10 million globally demonstrating the category is taking hold," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. "The new Galaxy Note II is a significant leap forward for the category."
Power & Performance
Galaxy Note II marks the U.S. debut of Samsung's Exynos™ 1.6 GHz quad-core processor optimized for LTE networks. It has 2GB of internal RAM; and comes with 16 GB of onboard file storage and supports up to 64GB of additional memory with a microSD® card. Collectively, these deliver easy multitasking, lightning fast screen transitions, powerful browser performance and minimal app load time.
The Galaxy Note II is the first Samsung smartphone to launch with Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean, which brings stunning graphical capabilities and an upgraded Google Now service, including new features such as contextual search. It is also a SAFE-designated device, which means it has additional security features to safe-guard sensitive data and communications.
The Galaxy Note II has a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED™ touchscreen with 16:9 aspect ratio, the standard for true HD video viewing, and comes with a 3,100 mAh battery, which is 24 percent larger than the original Galaxy Note.
Despite the much larger battery, the device weighs slightly less than the original Galaxy Note. As a result of a narrower bezel on all four sides of the screen, the screen is larger but the overall device is narrower. The Galaxy Note II is available in Marble White and Titanium Gray color options.
Create & Collaborate
At the heart of the Galaxy Note II and the ability to create and collaborate is the S Pen™, which has been ergonomically redesigned to provide a more precise and natural writing and drawing experience. The new S Pen can sense 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, four times more than the original S Pen.
When the new S Pen is removed from the Galaxy Note II, it automatically launches the S Pen menu, which opens a new home screen that allows one-touch access to most used S-Pen applications. Keeping track of the S Pen is simple now too because a visual and audible alarm appears if the user forgets to put the S Pen back inside the device.
The S Pen's advanced features provide the ability to capture ideas, inspiration and information instantly, and to combine handwriting with any digital content directly on the screen, such as adding new calendar appointments by writing the event details directly on the day of the week, signing or adding handwritten notes to an email.
Selecting and cropping text, images or other content on the Galaxy Note II with the S Pen is very similar to a traditional "click-mouse" experience. When the S Pen's side button is pressed down, the S Pen recognizes that users want to clip or edit the selected content on the screen. Users can draw precise lines around the content to be cropped out, highlighted or copied into another application.
Key applications of the S Pen include:
· Easy Clip feature allows users to instantly outline and crop any content on the screen in any shape to save, share or paste. Once done cropping the image, users can freely edit the cropped content through coloring, shading, or their own personal handwriting.
· Quick Command uses the S Pen to quickly activate applications and services people use most often. The command pad appears with one upward swipe on the screen with the S Pen button pressed down. Users can send an email, make a call or search a location with pre-registered and customized S Pen stroke marks made on the command pad.
· Photo Notes allows users to create handwritten notes on the back of digital photos.
Air View allows users to hover with the S Pen over an email, calendar entry, image gallery or video to preview the content without having to open it or wait for screen transitions. This feature also enables users to preview Web site content without opening the full site. Air View provides a title description for unrecognizable icons in various applications.
Idea Sketch allows users to easily add illustrations by handwriting keywords on the S Note. It provides illustration images that match the handwritten keywords. It's a fancy illustration match function that will allow users to express, organize and visualize ideas in a more innovative and creative way. Users can even customize and add in their own illustrations library.
Multitask & Share
The Galaxy Note II takes multitasking to the next level by enabling consumers to launch multiple windows on one screen, including high definition video. Multitasking features include:
· Popup Note lets users open an S Note instantly as a pop-up window to jot down a quick note during a phone call, checking email or watching a video.
· Popup Video extends the concept of 'Popup Play.' While watching a video, with the touch of a button, the video will become a floating window on the display. The video will continue to play and it can be re-sized or repositioned to any part of the GALAXY Note II's screen. This versatility means that users are free to load other applications beneath it to browse online or work in other apps such as email, calendar or text messaging.
· Popup Browser launches a new browser window when a user clicks on a link embedded in an email.
The Galaxy Note II contains many of the popular, real-life content sharing features introduced in June on the Samsung Galaxy S™ III including:
· S Beam – Tap back of Galaxy Note II against another S-Beam-enabled device to share large video files, documents or S Notes in seconds without using data service.
· Share Shot - Seamlessly share pictures taken with Galaxy Note II's 8 megapixel camera to other phones from up to 200 feet away.
· Burst Shot/Best Shot – Capture rapid-fire still pictures with zero shutter lag; choose picture with optimal colors, lighting and clarity from Best Shot image recommendations.
· AllShare Cast™ and GroupCast™ have been expanded on the Galaxy Note II. Share premium video content, mobile games and movies and TV shows from Samsung Media Hub wirelessly with Samsung Smart TVs, laptops, tablets and other consumer electronics.
Customize & Accessorize
· Protective Flip Cover – Samsung's unique flip cover enhances the look of the Galaxy Note II with a premium leather front and glossy backing, while providing privacy and protection. The Protective Flip Cover comes in seven vibrant colors to customize the Galaxy Note II, including Titanium Gray, Marble White, Blue, Pink, Mint, Lime Green, and Orange.
· S Pen with Eraser – This ergonomic, full-featured S Pen features a button for gestures and an eraser tip for easy corrections. This updated version of Samsung's original S Pen truly mimics the feel of a pen or pencil.

We’ve reached the wee night hours here at Phandroid, and what better time than right now to fill you guys in on some juicy Android rumors before you hit the sack. Turns out our friends at Android and Me have been hearing rumblings from a few inside sources that the next Google Nexus device could be the spec’d out beast re-announced just last night — the LG Optimus G. Just imagine it: the LG Optimus Nexus with a quad-core Qualcomm S4 processor, industry leading 720p True HD IPS Plus display, 2GB of multitasking RAM, 32GB of spacious internal storage, 13MP camera, NFC, LTE, and if this rumor comes to pass — stock Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. You hear that? That’s the sound of Android fanboys around the world collectively wetting themselves (don’t worry, me too).
Admittedly, there isn’t much info to go on and this is nothing more than a good old fashioned industry rumor. But let’s not forget a leak not too long ago possibly revealing Samsung, LG and Sony’s intentions on releasing their own Nexus devices due out by this Thanksgiving. Just take one more look at the above image and tell me that doesn’t bring a tear to your eye?
Starting Sept 21st all the way through the 30th, T-Mobile is throwing an interesting promotion for new and existing customers on their network. They’re calling it their “Magenta Deal Days” and they’re offering up some of the hottest smartphones currently available for free — but there’s a catch. Customers wont have to put any money down on a new smartphone (choose the Galaxy S3, or hand in your Android-card), instead opting for monthly installment payments around $15-$20, on top of their monthly bill. To help break it down for ya, here’s a handy chart:
Okay, so you will have to put some money down but after the mail-in rebate, it’ll bring that initial payment down to zero. Kinda zero down, kinda not. The promo is good for anyone buying a T-Mobile phone new (or with an upgrade), along with T-Mo’s truly Unlimited Value plan. But that’s the last caveat, we promise. Full press release below.
T-Mobile Helps Customers Fall Into Savings
From Sept. 21–30, get any device, including the Samsung Galaxy S® III, for $0.00 down
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Sept. 18, 2012 — Prices are falling at T-Mobile® this September during the "Magenta Deal Days" Zero Down promotion, making staying in touch more affordable than ever. Starting Sept. 21, customers can purchase any device, including the Samsung Galaxy S® III, for $0.00 down payment on qualifying Unlimited ValueTM and Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plans after mail-in rebate card.
"Our customers continue to appreciate our 'Magenta Deal Days' offerings because they showcase our commitment to giving all our customers the best 4G experiences," said Andrew Sherrard, senior vice president of marketing, T-Mobile USA. "With back to school in full swing, we're glad to offer another great deal to keep families in touch."
The Samsung Galaxy S III is one of T-Mobile's fastest 4G (HSPA+ 42 technology) smartphones. With an intuitive design, the Galaxy S III enables customers to effortlessly share photos, videos and more to a compatible TV or other Galaxy S III devices. Featuring a beautiful 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED™ screen, the Galaxy S III packs a powerful entertainment experience, which allows customers to watch HD movies and TV shows, download apps, and securely browse the Web.
New customers will be eligible for this deal when they sign a two-year agreement on any qualifying Unlimited Value and Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan (Unlimited, 5GB or 10GB). Existing customers also can take advantage of this offer.1
Data-hungry smartphone customers can choose the ultimate worry-free experience with T-Mobile's new Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan, featuring no data caps, no speed limits and no overages, as well as fast, dependable nationwide 4G coverage.
