How to make your HTC One a ‘Google Edition’ (Video) Posted: 28 May 2013 02:12 PM PDT When HTC announced the Developer Edition HTC One, we were a little surprised. Unlike years past, the company decided to play nicely with one of Android’s most unique, defining features, the third-party developers who tweak and mod devices to no end. Samsung stole a bit of HTC’s flame at Google I/O, however, when Google’s Hugo Barra took the stage and unveiled a Galaxy S 4 running stock Android which will go on sale directly from Continue reading » The post How to make your HTC One a ‘Google Edition’ (Video) appeared first on Pocketnow.

Nexus 7′s return to Bluetooth SIG could herald Android 4.3 launch Posted: 28 May 2013 02:12 PM PDT For weeks now, Android 4.3′s been hanging over us like a low lying cloud. All the signs of it are out there, but it continues to be just out of our reach. Some theories have been looking to the idea of a June launch, and as we try and suss-out just when that could take place, some evidence has arrived that, while largely circumstantial, sure has the feel of a new Android release to it. This afternoon’s find is all about the Nexus 7. It turns out that the tablet just saw the ...

Verizon Galaxy S 4 update should greatly increase data speeds Posted: 28 May 2013 01:16 PM PDT It sure took its sweet time in getting here, but the Samsung Galaxy S 4 for Verizon has arrived. The carrier ultimately pushed the handset’s release date up a little, getting it into customer hands last week, rather than the May 30 date originally put forth. That alone was good news, but now it’s sounding like there’s a even better treat for Verizon GS4 users coming in the future, with ...

Verizon HTC One pops-up in database; when will it launch? Posted: 28 May 2013 12:34 PM PDT Rumors concerning the HTC One took a few detours in the past several weeks, starting to branch out into the idea of a larger version of the One (possibly the T6), as well as a stock Android version like Samsung’s done for Google with its own Galaxy S 4. But if we take a step back, there’s still one big outlying HTC One rumor from earlier that we had yet to ever get to the bottom ...

Mozilla Firefox OS tablet teased for next week Posted: 28 May 2013 11:43 AM PDT Earlier this year, we learned the details on the first wave of smartphones running Mozilla’s Firefox OS. The big push should get started this summer, when we’ll first be seeing handsets running the new platform go up for sale in Europe. So far, a number of companies have shown interest from less renowned OEMs like Alcatel or ZTE to even manufacturers like Sony, providing an experimental ROM ...

Which SoC will power the Galaxy Note III? Posted: 28 May 2013 10:11 AM PDT While upcoming Samsung models like the Galaxy S 4 Mini or GS4 Active certainly have our interest, when it comes to really high-end gear – the sort of phones worth waiting in line for – the next big Samsung entry looks like it will be the Galaxy Note III. Rumors have been all over this guy, with the latest talking about the killer camera the phablet could end up with. Now we turn ...

HTC One Google Edition isn’t even confirmed, and we’re already talking about shortages Posted: 28 May 2013 09:28 AM PDT Are we really going to see HTC pull a Samsung and release a stock Android Google Edition of its One? That’s sure what the rumor mill would like us to believe, and as we wait for the arrival of firm evidence, or learning that HTC has changed its official stance in regards to such a model, a new theory has arisen, suggesting that not only will this version of the One definitely arrive, but that it could do so ...

Galaxy S 4 Mini: launch date proposed Posted: 28 May 2013 08:45 AM PDT Just yesterday we were thinking about the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Mini, after seeing the Android flirt with going official, popping its head out on a Samsung site briefly before being swept back under the rug. It seemed like the GS4 Mini was just aching to launch, and all we needed to do was learn when. Today we might just get that answer, with a source telling The Wall Street Journal that the Mini should be seeing its launch at Samsung’s June 20 event. That would be the ...

iPhone 5S screen details rumored Posted: 28 May 2013 08:02 AM PDT Rumors about Apple’s next iPhone have run the gamut from the incredibly vague to the highly specific. The latest to come to our attention is definitely one of the latter, and while it makes for an interesting rumor, it’s just a little bit odd: supposedly, the iPhone 5S could have a display with twice the pixels of the iPhone 5. Why is that so odd? Well, we’re not talking about doubling the horizontal and vertical pixel counts (like the 3GS-to-4 transition), which would instead lead to a four-fold increase in the total pixel ...
