Many of you may remember when the White Samsung Galaxy S II launched back in December. At the time, the only way you could get your hands on one was to go online, order one and wait for it to ship out to your doorstep. As of tomorrow, March 8th, all that changes. Thanks to a post from our buddy David...

Chrome Beta is gathering more strength today, by getting a nice little update in the Android Market. I am sorry, did I say Android Market? I meant to say “Google Play.” The name everyone is loving. Anyways, this update is bringing certain bug fixes, mainly  pertaining to compatibility issues...

I got a little worried at the end of last year when I saw that HTC was showing some pretty weak numbers. I love HTC simply because I have only had two personally owned HTC Android devices in my life time, the G1 that started it all and the sequel the G2. G1 worked great the entire time I had it no...

After flashing a brand new ROM with hopes of turning your phone into a beast, restoring your apps back onto your phone can be a tedious process. With all the backup apps out there, it just becomes a real pain at times to get that backup app back on your phone then getting each app back into the swing...

Here at AndroidSPIN, we realize there’s not a new Android device released every single day for us to gawk about. We also realize that it’s not every day that major changes are made, such as yesterday’s transition from the Android Market to Google Play. That doesn’t mean there’s...

While many of us, and our readers, are seasoned vets of the Android ecosystem, there are many that are just starting out. After spending the last hour looking for something to cover that was extreme, I had an idea. That idea is what you are seeing here. A newbie friendly series of posts that will outline...

While in attendance at CES, Tony and I had a thought. I know, strange, we think. While the next latest and great Android device is awesome to see, review and read about, many people we talked to were more about the accessories that they could afford now and could use for years to come. So we went on...

While the world is still waiting for Google’s official answer to Siri, Magnifis is the latest startup to join in on the voice assistant wars by launching its new application, Robin, on Google Play today. Robin is the latest in a long line of attempted competitors, though each application has failed...

Nook Tablet owners, get ready for that feeling of redemption you can only get from finding out your money was well spent on an Android device that is getting official support from the CyanogenMOD crew. That is exactly the case with this little tidbit we just stumbled upon. I’d like to direct...

Those of you that might may not understand why Amazons App store is important, needs to take a second to think. While the high majority of us live, die and bleed Android, there are plenty of devices around that don’t have Google App support. Many of those devices come pre-loaded with the Amazon...

Those of you sporting a rooted Android device are more than likely familiar with SetCPU. This essential app, by Michael Huang, has seen somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 to 500,000 downloads, as per the Android Market Google Play statistics — a number that’s not all that shabby for...

Huawei is a name that pops up moderately across the globe. primarily known for manufacturing descent low-end Android devices at affordable prices. That all started to change for the better at CES and at the recent Mobile World Congress. Bringing the Ascend P1 S and the Ascend D Quad. Both devices are...

Although I know many of you won’t admit it, I know you still check out every update when it drops. If for no other reason than to clear the 15 new levels for bragging rights. While another update to a game that will never die is awesome, all us are patiently waiting for the Spaced-themed version....

Well looks like Verizon wants to take some of that fast LTE that phones have been rocking, and bring it into households. Basically they want to take your old, slow as a turtle DSL, and bring the super fast LTE to run your network at home. Well lets see how this seems like a great idea, but would be...

For HTC Amaze 4G owners, the custom ROM community hasn’t exactly been as exciting as it has for many other devices. To my knowledge, there is a total of one AOSP ROM available for flashing and only a handful of developers working on custom Sense builds. While, we were just graced with a touch...
