| HTC One SV shows up at FCC, coming to USA? Posted: 14 Dec 2012 11:01 AM PST HTC recently launched the HTC One SV in United Kingdom, an Android powered device with specs good enough to impress an iPhone user, but not a Nexus 4 one. Though after just few days, the device made it to FCC giving us a little evidence that the device might hit States as well. The device got approval for the use of WCDMA bands II and V, GSM bands 850 and 1900, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC.
With such specs, I am sure this device wouldn’t be a bad choice, after all it will be a budget Android phone. So if it hits the States via mobile carrier or may be available unlocked, would you prefer picking it up? Source: Wireless Goodness Be sure to follow AndroidGuys on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube! |
| T-Mobile brings enhanced network to 5 new areas, now up to 100 million people Posted: 14 Dec 2012 10:36 AM PST
Those who considered T-Mobile out of the game after AT&T’s failed attempt at a buyout may want to start taking another look at the carrier. Neville Ray, Chief Technology Officer of T-Mobile, announced today that they’ve now added five new metro areas to T-Mo’s enhanced network:
This brings the total number of areas with enhanced coverage to 23, bringing faster data, better signal strength, and better building penetration to 100 million people. That’s a decently large number and definitely a move in the right direction, on top of continued work to bring the same network to some key areas like New York, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Between network modifications, great holiday PR moves, and new ideas for device plans, it’s obvious that (at the very least) T-Mobile isn’t staying stagnant, a good thing for both their customers and the industry.

| Lookout: 18 million infected Android devices by end of 2013 Posted: 14 Dec 2012 09:17 AM PST
There will be a total of 18 million malware infected Android devices from the start of 2012 through the end of 2013,according to estimates from the security experts at Lookout. The firm has released their annual Mobile Threat Predictions for next year and forecast that toll fraud will be the biggest problem facing users across the globe. While not so much of a problem in the United States, Lookout finds that malware can be a real nuisance for parts of the world. Those in the U.S. stand a .20 percent to .40 percent chance of picking up a virus or malware however Russia’s threat levels reach as high as 34.7 percent. All told, the number of infected devices is a small percentage of Android 1.3 million (and growing) daily activations. Still, 18 million of anything is a lot of something.
We here at AndroidGuys love Lookout and have endorsed them since we first set eyes on the app. We’ve met the team a number of times and find them to be some of the cooler folks in California. That said, we’ve also been saying that users have to watch their backs a bit and be proactive. Lookout, Google, and all the others involved in protecting consumers are great but you are the first line of defense. Lookout has put together a number of tips that users can take to ensure their Android experience is as smooth and pain-free as possible.
We definitely recommend reading through the entire Threat Predictions post over at Lookout’s blog. It’s part eye-opening, part fear tactics, and part comforting at the same time. Be sure to follow AndroidGuys on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube! |

| Google+ gets ‘new batch of features’ in Android app Posted: 14 Dec 2012 07:12 AM PST
The Google team announces 18 new features for Google+, many of which are optimized for the Android experience.
The photo experience gets even better, especially for mobile users as Android now offerings full-size backups of your photos (up to 5GB free). Of course you still gets your unlimited standard-size images for free just so long as they are under 2048px. Have an Android 4.2 Jelly Bean device? Guess what? You can now see and add photo spheres to the mobile stream. Android 2.2+ devices can, however, still view them. In a final bit of awesome, the Google+ Android app also handles moods, animated GIFs, birthday reminders in Google Now, and a lock screen widget.
Keep an eye on your notification bar for the Google+ update. The v3.3 app should go live later today, December 14. Be sure to follow AndroidGuys on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube! |
