Hello my Android friends. Another episode of The ManDroid Show has come upon us. I totally forgot to add the hot nerdy girl of the week. Next week it will for sure be back. Enjoy the show! News topics T=Mobile pushing ads on notification bars? HTC One S coming to T-Mobile April 22nd? Google selling [...]
The monster that is Android is forever evolving in capabilities. Where once stood a locked down and un-customizable system like iOS, Blackberry and Windows, now stands chameleon devices capable of being almost anything you want. Android isn’t just about flashing custom ROMS, themes and applications. It is about making your device be whatever and do whatever you want regardless [...]
Earlier today the AOSP got a new source to work with, Android 4.0.4. This news definitely made a few people in the development community happy. The new incremental update is said to have hundreds of small changes that make the overall experience even better, not sure how that is possible. Google engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru made the [...]
Looks like the Motorola XOOM WIFI edition is slated for a soak test very shortly. This is a manufacturers way of testing out and update of some sorts before it goes live to all users. It helps them clear up issues that might arrive and makes sure whatever the update is, that it installs correctly. [...]
Oh it is a good night…if you have a Galaxy Nexus, a Nexus S, or a Motorola Xoom. The first OFFICIAL CM9 nightlies are ready for those three phones! Just a week after the CyanogenMod team requested our help to donate some funds to help with their servers, they are pushing out some official nightlies [...]
My hopes for you guys were lifted to at first, then we found out it still isn’t an Ice Cream Sandwich update. Sorry to burst your bubble. Verizon has just recently posted up the wonderfully alluring PDFs that they do before an update for a device goes live. It always makes us click through with [...]
If you own a Motorola Xoom, they day you’ve waited for has finally arrived. The official Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Xoom is now available for the taking, which will kick the tablet up from Android 3.2 to Android 4.0, the latest flavor of the mobile OS which took the world by storm following [...]
It should come as no surprise that the one update that nearly everyone around the world is waiting on is Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course the source for the update hasn’t been out all that long and we all know how slow OEM’s and carriers are at making sure they can add their flare and bloatware [...]
Xoot, Xoot, Xoot. Isn’t that a cool word to say. I like it better than the Xoom. Since Motorola is so insistent on naming their tablets crazy outlandish names, why shouldn’t a tool that helps you root your tablet be anything less than crazy too. XDA member epic118 has just released his root tool for all you Xoom owners out there. [...]
Two Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3) ports for the Motorola XOOM (WiFi and LTE) are now available for the taking, thanks to the hard work of some great folks from XDA. razorbladex401 is heading up the project for the WiFi-only XOOM, while xxspark89xx is in charge of the port for the 3G/4G model. Unfortunately, the ports lack camera functionality, [...]
We have seen various Bluetooth keyboards from quite a few manufacturers. Of course the most popular is the dock/keyboard made for the Transformer and Transformer Prime. Although they are docked and now Bluetooth, why should they get all the fun? Verbatim has made at least 2 Bluetooth keyboards compatible with Android and iPhone that I [...]
Users in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK – keep your eyes peeled for an update on your Motorola Xoom. Word on the streets is, you’ll be getting Honeycomb aka Android 3.2 in the next few days. Granted, this is a little behind the times, but late is [...]
We have a sneaking suspicion that we will be getting a lot of these kinds of announcements over the next few weeks. With an OS update that is aimed specifically at closing the gap between tablets and phones, any device that is left behind will only cause bad press. Especially any device that has a [...]
One of the features that was added to the Galaxy Nexus was a barometer. I saw it listed during the event and didn’t pay much mind to it. I figured it was for internal weather predicting and elevation readings. After all, a Barometer is just an indicator of air pressure changes. Various Barometer readings can [...]
