A few days ago David found a way for anyone with a rooted device to install Pie Controls. The snazzy pop out pie that enables you to set quick launch actions to apps and various parts of your phone. This feature was previously only available on Paranoid Android 4.2 ROM’s. With root and a simple...

Four days ago we let all you out there with an HTC Thunderbolt know that Verizon was close to giving you Ice Cream Sandwich. We saw some comments floating around about people pulling it from their drawers and dusting it off to check out the update. When we posted the PDF’s, we didn’t have...

Do you guys remember about a year ago when a Ice Cream Sandwich was being tested on the HTC Thunderbolt? For some odd reason I do. I went and looked it up. It was at the beginning of March 2012. We had screenshots to prove it and everything. That was really the last time we posted about the Thunderbolt...

Protection for your Android device is always a hot topic. Various case options allow for protection against water, dust, scratches and drops. Many of us have had, or know someone who has had, a run in with a toilet drop, a child getting their hands on our devices or a wide variety of other scenarios...

Amiss all the talk and announcements of the LG Optimus G, T-Mobile goes in a completely different direction. How and why, we aren’t sure. Could be because of deals brokered by AT&T and Sprint. None the less, T-Mobile does have a ‘new to them’ LG device on the horizon. The LG Optimus...

Verizon seems to be attempting to step up their game a little bit when it comes to updating some devices. We know, they were slow to the draw with the Galaxy Nexus, but still we have seen a few updates coming through for some of their tablets over the last few weeks. They listed the DROID XYBOARD and...

Pantech has been a rather quiet company for many years. We had a chance to meet up with them at CES in January and were very surprised at their new products.
