Multiple User Accounts (N10 Only) And Lockscreen Widgets Rolling Out The The Nexus 4 And 10 Right Now

Posted by in News, Nexus 10, Nexus 4

Google promised an OTA update that brings multiple user accounts to the Nexus 10 and lockscreen widgets to both the 10 and the 4 before the official launch date of November 13th. For two days now, Ron and I have been mashing the Check Updates button on our respective devices over and over hoping to get this update as quickly as possible... and we just got it.

 2012-11-12 21.27.17 2012-11-12 21.32.54

This, of course, brings both of our devices up to full retail, complete with the above mentioned features. Before today, we didn't have a whole lot of info about how lockscreen widgets were going to work, and it turns out they're pretty simple.

Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite Review: You Can Use It As A Hammer, Because It Isn't Good For Much Else

Posted by in Tablet Reviews

So, the MediaPad 7 Lite from Huawei. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe you haven't. What it is, though, is a "budget" - and I use that term loosely - tablet with a 7-inch form factor. Of course, automatic comparisons to the Nexus 7 are going to be drawn here, and without getting further into the review, I can tell you this: it's not better. It's not as good. In fact, it's not even half the tablet that the Nexus 7 is, and I mean that both in terms of hardware specifications and in actual performance. If you're looking for something more than the N7, keep looking - 'cause this ain't it.

Samsung Stratosphere II For Verizon Finally Official, Available 'In The Coming Weeks' For $129

Posted by in News, Stratosphere II, Verizon Wireless

We've seen a few leaks of Verizon's upcoming Stratosphere II over the past couple of months, and Big Red just made the handset official. As expected, it's a modest mid-ranger with a 4-inch display and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor. Like its predecessor, the Stratosphere II will also sport a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

This global-ready Android 4.0 handset will be available "in the coming weeks" for $129, but that's after a $50 mail-in-rebate and a two year agreement. Woo.

Google Play Music Updated To v4.4.811H, Brings Gapless Playback, Instant Mixes, And More

Posted by in Applications, News

Google just released an update for Play Music that brings a number of small, but desired features to the application. The biggest of the bunch is probably gapless playback support, a must-have for the more audio-conscious among us. Other than that, this new version also adds the ability to keep thumbs up, last added, and free/purchased music locally on the device, automatic playlist creation based on your favorite tracks, and other improvements.

What's in this version:

v4.4.811H
* Added ability to keep Thumbs Up, Last Added, and Free and Purchased playlists on device.
* Auto-generated Instant Mixes on Recent tab based on your favorite songs.

PSA: No, The Nexus 4 On T-Mobile Will Not Have Wi-Fi Calling

Posted by in News, Nexus 4, T-Mobile

Earlier today, rumors broke out across the net that, according to T-Mobile's support docs, the carrier's branded Nexus 4 will support Wi-Fi calling. Previous statements indicated that the N4 would not have this feature, so we reached out to T-Mobile for official word. Unfortunately, this was an error in the support documents and the phone will not support Wi-Fi calling after all. Here's the official word, directly from T-Mo:

You are correct, just a simple mistake in the online document. No Wi-Fi calling on the Nexus 4. The document link has been updated.

So there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth - no Wi-Fi calling on the Nexus 4.

[Deal Alert] Staples' Brick And Mortars Selling The 8GB Nexus 7 For $160

Posted by in Deals, News, Nexus 7

We knew this would happen. As soon as Google discontinued the 8GB version of the Nexus 7 and dropped the price of the 16 to $199, there were slew of comments along the lines of "now I'll just wait for the 8GB closeout sales." Well, Staples is the first to step up to the plate with that.

1[5]

Presumably until they're sold out, you can walk into a Staples retail location and get an 8GB Nexus 7 for just $160. That's about $40 less than what they were going for in the Play Store just a few short weeks ago. Think about it - that's a solid, top-of-the-line Android tablet.

Posted by in Galaxy Express, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, News, T-Mobile

Do you ever wonder if Samsung gets tired of releasing devices? While most manufacturers have vowed to release fewer superfluous phone and tablets, ol' Sammy is still going strong, offering up new Galaxy devices almost weekly. Maybe some people like the choice. Or maybe not. Either way, I don't see any signs of them slowing any time soon.

With more devices, of course, also comes more source code. Today's batch of piping hot source is for the Galaxy Express on AT&T and the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 on T-Mobile. Hackers, modders, and tinkerers, this one's for you - hit the source links below to grab the download and do things with it.
