Android 4.3 update for HTC One rolling out to AT&T customers now
Oct 8th 2013, 22:12, by Nate Swanner

We knew it was coming, but now it's here. AT&T HTC One users, your devices are being upgraded to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. While HTC has been a little later to the game than we thought, they've begun rolling the update out to users as we speak.

Jason Mackenzie, HTC Americas president, mentioned the update via twitter, noting that it was available via AT&T. The newest version of Android will be software version 3.17.502.3 for HTC One owners.

As with the developer edition, the newest version promises to bring some much needed updates to Sense 5, and AT&T users won't have to wait as long as some others. T-Mobile subscribers are set to get the update a few weeks from now, with Verizon customers waiting even longer.

This update could also mean that the HTC One Max, set for release sometime in the near future, may come with Android 4.3 and the updated Sense 5.0 out of the box. Time will tell on that front, but if you have an HTC One, feel free to check for your update if you haven't seen it yet.

HBO GO updated to work with Android 4.3 devices; still no Chromecast
Oct 8th 2013, 21:30, by Nate Swanner

The HBO and MAX GO apps have both been updated, and are rolling out as we speak. The vague "bug fixes" was the only thing listed in the changelog for both apps, but many users are reporting that both are now compatible with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

HBO GO


We can confirm that the HBO GO app is now available for download on the Nexus 7 2013, where as it wasn't before the update. The above screenshot is from the newest Nexus tablet, running stock Android 4.3. It works just as well as before, with playback running smoothly and the app functionality the same.

What isn't included is something many users desperately want, and that's Chromecast support. Though Hulu Plus has recently begun including Chromecast streaming into their app, neither the HBO or Cinemax apps have done so. When the Chromecast came out, we learned of HBO tinkering with the functionality for their app, but we still go wanting.

HBO also made some of their original programming available on the Play Store yesterday, so those who have cut the cable cord can still get some great shows. We can only hope that Chromecasting is on its way, and that making their app available across most Android devices is a precursor for it.
