The talk of the town was once all about dual-core processors. While a great number of devices, especially here in the states, are still focusing on dual-core, a quad-core device is the new rage. For instance the Samsung Galaxy S III overseas and the HTC One X for example. We all know by now why they...

Android Piracy is on the rise and trailing behind it is the crafty nature of hackers. A new piece of Malware was recently discovered that takes advantage of a popular web browser name Opera Mini. It acts like Opera Mini it works like Opera Mini and it is Opera Mini, with the exception that it also sends...

Google Search has been going to work these days. And not in a good way, either, as local search has now been removed. Verizon Galaxy S III users are currently experiencing the change, as we reported a few days ago. However, if you own a rooted Sprint Galaxy S III, then you are in luck, as XDA developer eyecon82...

Many of our new Android devices have NFC (Near Field Communication) chips installed in them. They are what give us the cool tap to transfer technology, the Google Wallet offerings and many other amazing inventions like unlocking the door to your house or even hotel room.

The availability of Wi-Fi networks in our homes, offices and various commercial locations is pretty insane. My phone prompts me for connections all over town when I am running errands. While snagging a Wi-Fi connection means I will have faster speeds than my mobile provider offers and I won’t...

For many devoted Samsung owners around the globe, you have no doubt seen, used, sometimes loved and other times hated ODIN. When it works it does its job nicely, when it doesn’t well, it is a bit of a headache. While it is a nice to tool to have at your disposal, some of us would rather steer...

You should all already know that CyanogenMOD ROM’s are one the most highly customizable ROM’s to ever grace our devices. Sure, AOKP and others are offering up some great ways to alter things and give us a more personal look and feel, but CM is really where it all started. One of the greatest...

Adobe Flash Player is fairly major topic of discussion. While many of us have had Flash installed since the day it was available, others never even knew what it was or they didn’t need it. Personally, I would forget to install it after a new ROM install and found that maybe 1 out 50 sites I visited...

Motorola was supposed to start rolling out the Jelly Bean soak test to a handful of Wi-Fi Motorola XOOM owners yesterday.

OK, so this one might seem a little bit off topic, but since our wondrous devices can stream Netflix, it still fits. CEO of Netflix Reed Hastings teased that Netflix could partner with HBO during the company’s earning reports earlier. That definitely made a few people smile because of the amazing...

Everyday that passes we get a little closer to finding out when T-Mobile will launch the Samsung Galaxy Note right along with the price tag.

A new over-the-air update is rolling out for the international Galaxy S III (GT-i9300) that removes local search functionality. You will recall that being the same functionality that got the Galaxy Nexus banned for a week in a recent Apple vs Samsung lawsuit. This will serve as a way for Samsung to...

When HTC announced the One line of devices packing in that wonderful Tegra 3 quad-core processor, a lot of people got excited.
