AT&T turns on its 4G LTE service in Seattle, Portland and more

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 04:45 AM PDT

Following last week's expansion in Philadelphia and Wilmington, AT&T is bringing its 4G LTE network to more big markets in the country – all four of them.

AT&T sure took its time, but subscribers in Seattle can finally enjoy the ultra-fast mobile network that the carrier has to offer. AT&T's Vice President Mike Maxwell said that is the response to the continued "demand for mobile Internet skyrocket," and what customers ultimately seek "from their mobile experience."

The country's largest 4G network provider, as it claims to be, is also turning on its high-speed network in Portland. And just yesterday, two areas were added to its 4G LTE coverage: Birmingham, Alabama and Memphis, Tennessee.

All in all, AT&T 4G LTE service is now live in 64 markets – compared to the over 360 markets that its Verizon rival is touting. But hey, AT&T has until the end of 2013 to try and meet its goal of completing the 4G LTE deployment.

Anyone in the area mentioned above getting 4G speed on their device yet?

Chameleon launcher finally gets V1.0 release, more dashboards for some

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 04:26 AM PDT

The developer behind Chameleon is really firing all cylinders with its steady stream of update of the Android launcher alternative. After releasing build 0.9.0 last week, which was then followed by version 0.9.5 – we finally have an up and running Chameleon V1.0.

Along with the usual performance boost and bugs fixing, here's what version 1.0 of Chameleon brings:

  • Fixed "blank widget" problem
  • Deactivated Dashboard sleeping
  • 5 Dashboards for 7-inch tablets
  • 4 Dashboards for 10-inch tablets

If you've been encountering instances when the widgets on your homescreen just seem to disappear, the latest update should fix that problem. As for point #2 above, apparently more work is still need to be done.

Though Chameleon has now graduated to version 1.0, the developer provides assurance that they will still work hard in bringing out regular updates. As for what you can look forward to for its next release, they are aiming to fix the Gmail/Twitter widget that can't seem to authenticate. Those who are longing for a Calendar and Google+ widget should get their wishes soon.

If you don't mind spending $10.27 for the "revolutionary" tablet launcher, you can find Chameleon on Google Play. For those who have downloaded the launcher, what do you think about the latest version of Chameleon?

Deploygate: A simple real-time solution to the hassles of beta testing

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 03:26 AM PDT

DeployGate may be the best thing to come along in a while, especially for developers, who have enough struggles keeping Github and Sourceforge projects up and running. Android shines again, as DG is a real-time, OTA service that lets any amount of beta testers try out apps in development phase and DG, in turn, monitors performance.

Here’s a current list of features for DeployGate:

  • currently focuses on collaborative development for Android
  • works in real-time
  • doesn't necessarily require an SDK
  • doesn't require device IDs
  • specifically targets developers

For those of non-geek origins, what DeployGate allows developers to do is drag and drop unreleased Android apps on the DG dashboard. From there, data can be collected to push updates, make logfiles, or do reports. Interested? The price structure is set up to entertain large corporations, small businesses, or your average basement dwelling Android hacker.. I mean, developer.

Better yet, this idea was born of mixi, Japan’s largest social network, and it’s co-creator Kyosuke Inoue has some interesting backhistory: he created an NFC-based check-in service similar to the now-famous FourSquare. His companion, Yuki Fujisaki, helped lead the development team for an Android mixi client. For more info on how DeployGate, watch the video below and then get the nitty gritty details here.

HTC One X+ has been spotted in AnTuTu benchmark… or has it?

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 02:23 AM PDT

We thought Samsung were the masters of building hype around devices before their release without slipping very many details about them, it seems that (at least) two can play that game. HTC's much awaited special New York City press event is literally just around the corner (11 AM EDT today, don't forget!), but there are very few things we know for certain about the gadget(s) that'll be on display.

In our freshly published rumor roundup, we told you about the One X+ and One X 5 being the most likely candidates to get an official unveiling later today, although we've heard a lot of rumors about a second-gen Flyer and a mysterious 10-inch tablet, too. And as many rumors as we heard about these devices, there are still exciting things to be unraveled. Now that's what I call good marketing!

The latest piece of the One X+ puzzle comes via an AnTuTu benchmark which just about confirms we will be dealing with a true powerhouse. Or does it? The test, performed by an XDA Developer forum user to check the performance of his rooted and tweaked Galaxy S3, clearly shows an "HTC One X+" as having scored around 14,000 points.

However, after doing some digging, the guys at Phone Arena found out that AnTuTu sometimes lists overclocked HTC One Xs as One X+. To hell with these confusing branding policies, to hell I say!

There is still a chance, albeit a remote one, that the One X+ listed in this particular benchmark is actually the phone soon to be released.  Out of pure curiosity let's talk a bit about that 14,000 figure and what does it mean.

Coincidentally, we've very recently seen two other upcoming phones benchmarked in AnTuTu, so we have some interesting grounds of comparison. The LG Optimus G tested by Phone Arena scored around 11,000, while the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 fared much better, but still got stuck to 13,500.

Both of those numbers are inferior to One X+'s result, which is surprising, considering that the Optimus G has a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU under its hood, while the GNote 2 is powered by an Exynos 4412 processor, both of which were thought to be snappier than the Tegra 3+ AP37 rumored to come with the One X+.

We know very well that speed and performance are not only about benchmark results, but this could be a very encouraging sign for HTC and NVIDIA. Not to mention it's yet another reason for us to keep our eyes peeled on HTC's press event, and for you to stay tuned for coverage from New York. Who’s excited about the One X+?

Verizon locks down another Samsung phones’ bootloader

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 02:17 AM PDT

Surprised? We aren’t. The confirmed details are in: Verizon has locked the Galaxy Note 2 bootloader just as it did with the release of the SGS3 on its network. Want to try out a custom ROM on your screaming fast Note 2? Sorry, Big Red subscriber. You’re definitely out of luck.

In other news about the device which shook IFA 2011 to its core, the Verizon G-Note 2 comes with button branding as seen in the photo above. That’s not a restriction, per se, but it might remind those who buy the device and want to experiment with non-stock firmware, “You’re being pwned by us and don’t you forget it!” Then again, there may be hope for those poor souls just yet.

The pictures that have been floating about the Web since last Sunday’s leak of the device being sent to Verizon, only show the device front and back. As always, we have you covered, sans carrier branding of course, on the insides the G-Note 2 and its potential to really shake up the developing world of phablets. Again, Big Red can do what it wants with its manufacturer-carrier agreements, but we think its a shame for customers who buy an Android phone specifically to play around with an open-source OS.

Verizon subscribers: Are you still considering a G-note 2 with news of a locked bootloader?

What’s on the menu at today’s HTC press event? A rumor roundup

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 01:52 AM PDT

In the old days, the HTC One X alone would've been enough to rule the smartphone landscape. But the present day is far from the sparse playground that HTC was so accustomed to dominate. Half a year since the company's last major announcement, we'll find out today if HTC is ready to step up its game.

Here's a list of devices that we might see announced at HTC’s press event later in the day.

HTC One X+

The HTC One X+ first came to existence – in rumor outfit — a couple months ago. Since then, we've heard more information about the revamped One X, with the mother of all confirmation being the phone's pit stop at FCC.

Except for a bump in the speed department, as it will employ a quad-core 1.6GHz Tegra 3+ CPU, and possibly a bigger battery, the One X+ won't exactly revolutionize the industry, but it should be a good enough improvement for die-hard fans to consider getting it – especially those who can't wait to try out Jelly Bean or the new Sense 4.5.

Will the HTC One X+  be the main dish on the event? We hope not, especially when there’s a phablet waiting to be introduced.

HTC Endeavor C2 / One X5

What we have here is a certain HTC phablet that goes by many names, but we still know little about. Rumors about HTC's purported 5-inch phone first surfaced early last month, which were then followed by possible name and specs.  Hopefully the HTC Endeavor C2 name won't stick. Aside from the bigger display, it was rumored to come with the Tegra 3+ processor.

The latest, freshest rumors – however – seem to contradict everything we thought we knew about the device. HTC's first phablet will apparently be known as the One X5, and it may only ship with a Snapdragon S4 processor, while the 5-inch display is set to pamper the eyes with its 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. To be honest, we're not thoroughly convinced by the “leaked” pic and specs on this one.

Whatever it is that HTC is cooking in its oversized-phone kitchen, Verizon apparently is ready to give it a warm embrace. The carrier sent out invitations – on behalf of HTC – to the press about a certain device that will be introduced on September 19. In case you missed it, the device has been caught in pictures, as seen below.

Flyer 2 and a new tablet

HTC has left a bitter taste amongst those who have purchased the company's 7-inch and 10.1-inch tablets – the Flyer and Jetstream – not only because of their steeper than most price tag at the time, but also because of HTC's refusal to provide an update beyond Android 3.2 Honeycomb.

While it's not certain, there have been whispers of new tablet(s) that HTC might introduce today, the latest referring to a sequel to the Flyer, albeit a more budget-friendly version of it. The rumored HTC Flyer 2 is to come with Snapdragon S4 CPU, HD display, 7.1mm thick body, and Jelly Bean.

As for the rumored 10-inch HTC tablet, we've seen alleged pictures of the device – but none of the fun of specs and other details. Here's one for your viewing pleasure below.

For something a little bit more official, HTC has posted a teaser picture on the company's Facebook page, as seen on the headline picture. From what's shown of the device, we're not entirely sure if it's the craved Android phablet. There's a good chance that it might be one of HTC's WP8 devices instead.

So, do you think HTC will surprise everyone on its big event today? What device are you looking forward to see the most?

808 Android is a sorry excuse for a Nokia 808 PureView clone

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 01:39 AM PDT

What is the highest form of appreciation a smartphone can get these days? High sales? Nah, everyone can sell anything these days with a smart enough marketing campaign. Online popularity? Come on, we can make a viral video by bitching about Apple fanboys in no time.

No, the highest form of appreciation a smartphone can get is a Chinese clone. Just think about it… How many devices have you seen ripped off and copied by Shanzhai products? There were Apple's iPhones (most recently the iPhone 5), several Samsung phones, including the GS2, GS3 and GNote, and the HTC One X. So, the most popular and best reviewed handhelds of the past few years, right?

Now another phone is joining that select club, but in a surprising twist, it's not one that has been very well received by either critics or the public. That's right, it's the is-it-a-phone-or-a-camera Nokia 808 PureView.

But if the HTC One X or the iPhone 5 got fairly decent rip-offs that actually looked enticing (if you were willing to ignore the shady build quality), the PureView's doppelganger looks… well, pretty awful.

The 808 Android runs Gingerbread out of the box, but that's not even the worst part of the clone's spec sheet. In fact, I can't put my finger on what's worse between the laughable 550 MHz CPU, the measly 256 MB of RAM, the awful 256 MB of on-board memory, and the horrible 3.2 MP rear-facing camera.

Wait, I got it. The worst part is that bulge at the back of the device, despite it clearly being not needed to "contain" the power of the 3.2 MP cam. And the Carl Zeiss emblem next to the proud 41 MP sensor stamp that is so easy to prove fake. I mean, I get the whole concept behind these clones, but you could at least stop trying to cheat your customers with such lame tricks, couldn’t you?

The 3.5-inch display might not look that awful at a first sight, featuring a 480 x 320 pixels resolution, but listen to this – it's resistive. And it comes with a stylus for "easier input". Wow! Just wow! It's as if someone wanted to play a prank on Nokia by getting such a horrible rip-off out.

On the flipside, the 808 Android does come with dual SIM support, which should count for something in Asia or Europe, but also with a microSD card slot, Bluetooth, and a G-sensor. There's also WiFi connectivity, as well as a "free game inside", according to the 808's box.

If you don't mind using 2007 technology and you think you could fool someone with this sorry excuse of an 808 PureView clone, you can get the phone for a measly $73.50 in its unlocked SIM-free flavor from DealExtreme.com. There's worldwide free shipping included too, so what more could you want?

HTC wants your device: Are you ready to trade up?

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 01:15 AM PDT

So you say you’d like a new HTC but you don’t want to fork over the cash. You also don’t want to have the ball & chain of a lengthy 2 year contract. Well dear consumer, you are in good hands with HTC’s newest invention: a trade-up program which will give you up to $300 for your current device.

The program is called “HTC Trade Up” and the name alone is explicit enough to describe the basic aims. Have a new SGS3 and changed your mind already post-verdict? That’s alright with HTC. You can pick from the newest, the One X series, or hold out for something in the future which is probably going to be incrementally better specs. Have an old HTC clunker  that you want to help catapult you into the modern Android age? HTC approves that also.

In truth, Samsung and Verizon have similar programs designed to keep the latest and greatest in the limelight. But HTC is so confident of its lineup at the moment, it’s kick-started this into being with the chances of success being quite high. If you do participate, please let us know and tell us how much you get for your device!

Is LG going to make a Nexus version of the Optimus G?

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 12:23 AM PDT

LG’s recently announce Optimus G is arguably the most powerful Android smartphone to ever be announced. It has a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 under the hood, 2 GB of RAM, a 13 megapixel camera, and just about everything you could want in a mobile phone. But, and this is a big but, LG isn’t exactly what we’d call a “healthy” company. According to the Financial Times, their goal for 2012 is to sell 35 million smartphones. We’re three quarters into the year and they’ve only hit 30% of that target. Most analysts expect them to only sell 27 million smartphones. To put that into some perspective, Samsung sold over 20 million Galaxy S3 units in just 100 days. That’s only one device too, we all know how big their portfolio is.

So what can LG do to improve their position? The guys over at Android and Me have a novel idea, why doesn’t LG simply make a Nexus version of the Optimus G? It’ll give people the stock Android experience they want, on what’s undoubtedly the most impressive hardware we’ve seen to date.

But let’s also not forget the rumors from earlier this year that suggest Google is going to launch a wide range of Nexus devices. Whereas before they came out with one Nexus phone a year, this year The Wall Street Journal suggests we may see as many as five Nexus phones, each from a different handset maker.

Truth be told, we know Nexus devices don’t really drive sales because it’s the operators who dictate what does and doesn’t end up on their shelves. But maybe if Google gets the ball rolling, makes multiple Nexus phones available at various price points, and companies like Samsung, HTC, and LG see there’s an appreciable demand for those devices, maybe then we’ll see the death of skinning.

Is that too much to ask? Probably, but we’re hopeful!

Matias Duarte: Android is “about a third of the way to where I want to be”

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 11:45 PM PDT

One thing you’re practically guaranteed to hear most Android fans say is how much better the stock version of the operating system is compared to the skins that Samsung, HTC, and others put on their devices. Our brothers and sisters over at Android Police recently published a massive article that basically says even stock Android has problems, and that it needs a lot of work. Matias Duarte, who is in charge of the look and feel of Android, read that article and said this on his Google+ account:

“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!”

In case you guys don’t know about Mr. Duarte’s background, he was on the team that designed Palm’s webOS operating system. In fact, when Palm showed the world webOS for the first time, he was the guy doing the demo. HP then bought Palm, chewed it up, and spit out. Reports say Duarte ended up at Google sometime in May 2010. Assuming that’s accurate, that means he’s been at Google for roughly 27 months. If it’s taken him 27 months to get Android to “a third of the way” of where he wants it to be, does that mean we’re half a decade away until seeing the best of what Android has to deliver?

All we know is that our mobile operating system of choice is iterating at a rapid clip. Later this year we’re expecting to see the first devices running Android Key Lime Pie. Whether that ends up being called Android 4.2 or Android 5.0 isn’t known yet, but we’re extremely confident in saying that Matias is going to give us something to lust after. Look at the first Android phone, the T-Mobile G1, and look at the Galaxy Nexus. If that much change can happen in three years, then we only have high hopes for the future!
