Google IO 2013 registration and pricing details Posted: 22 Feb 2013 01:19 PM PST Hey developers! Looking to make the annual trek to San Francisco for Google I/O 2013? You’ll want to circle March 13 on your calendar and set aside no less than $900 for registration.  Registration for the three day event will begin at 7AM PST (10 AM EST) where it will likely sell out in a matter of minutes. In the meanwhile, be sure to set up a Google+ account and Google Wallet account. Registration will open on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 7:00 AM PDT (GMT-7) and will remain open until tickets are sold out. Based on demand in previous years, we expect to sell out quickly.

Leaked cases tease possible Galaxy S 4 design Posted: 22 Feb 2013 09:05 AM PST New images of smartphones cases purported to work with the Samsung Galaxy S4 could reveal a bit about the design of the upcoming handset. As you’ll see in the photos below, the Galaxy S4 looks to feature a more square-ish and angular design than its predecessor. What’s more, the cutout on the rear suggests a larger physical camera.  Of course, this is provided that the case molds are legitimate. As a reminder, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is rumored to feature a 5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display, a 1.9GHz quad-core processor, and a 13-megapixel camera. Due to arrive in the first half of the year, Samsung may be ready to announce the Android 4.2 flagship device in the next couple of weeks.

Motorola answers “Will my device receive an upgrade” with new site Posted: 22 Feb 2013 08:51 AM PST Motorola, in an attempt to be more transparent with its user base, has created a new site dedicated to Android software updates. In a nutshell, the site lets one pick their carrier and phone to receive any software update details. The Photon Q (Sprint), for instance, is marked as “device will be upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)” however it does not say when.  On the other hand, the Droid Razr states that the update will begin in Q1 2013. The website also provides the option to sign up for email updates as it pertains to your particular phone.  Finally, there are instructions on checking to see if you are using the most current version of Android available. If you’ve ever wanted to know if or when your Motorola phone or tablet will see an update, this is the best and most concise we’ve seen.  Kudos to Motorola for making it more obvious to its consumers.

Sprint confirms March 8 arrival for $99 Kyocera Torque Posted: 22 Feb 2013 07:32 AM PST Sprint today announced that the rugged and life-proof Kyocera Torque will arrive on March 8 with a $99 price tag.  Previously outed in a separate announcement, the phone runs Android 4.1 and features military-grade specifications against water, weather, dust, and drops. In terms of hardware, the Torque features a 4.0-inch touch display, 5-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megpixel front-facing camera, and 2500mAh battery. Look for the Kyocera phone in Sprint stores and online starting from March 8. Waterproof whether sprayed or immersed in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes, Torque can handle all the rain, sprinklers, hoses, spit, drool, drinks, sinks or toilet water life can throw at it – that’s more than can be said of the around 82 million handsets in the U.S. that have already been destroyed by liquid.1 Extreme Temperatures of -22° to 140°F (-30° to 60°C) for a non-operating unit for two hours and -4° to 122°F (-20° to 50°C) for an operating unit for three hours – from backcountry snowboard trips to hikes in Death Valley, don't sweat it. Dropped 26 times from 4 feet high – or, the average week with kids at the playground. Heavy dust for six hours – going off the grid while off-roading and camping will never be an issue. Horizontal, vertical and sideways vibrations for one hour – that mountain bike ride or roller coaster will be no match for Torque. Exposure to salt fog, for a complete 48 hour cycle; this cycle includes 24 hours exposure to salt fog followed by 24 hours drying time  – ideal for surfers, beach lovers or those who left their hearts and phones in San Francisco. 95 percent humidity for 10 days straight – the phone can handle it, but its owners may not. Solar radiation exposure of 1120 W/m2 for 24 hours – you might need sunscreen, but your phone doesn't mind soaking up some rays. Low pressure at 57.11 kPa/15,000 feet (4,572 meters) for two hours – higher than the tallest mountain peak in the lower 48 U.S. states.

Qualcomm announces RF360, could be the end of LTE woes Posted: 22 Feb 2013 06:12 AM PST LTE: it’s all over the place. It just is. Not in a saturation way, but in a chaotic, crazy, man-someone-should-really-fix-this kind of way. there’s so many different versions in so many different markets, travelling with solid LTE is almost impossible right now. Now, Qualcomm has announced the RF360, and is making some pretty big claims about it – namely, that it could be the world’s very first LTE-compatible, global front end solution. Qualcomm is saying the solution could be out in the second half of 2013. For full specifics, be sure to hit the source link below. via qualcomm The post Qualcomm announces RF360, could be the end of LTE woes appeared first on AndroidGuys.
