Android 4.1.2 OTA (JZO54K) For Yakju Galaxy Nexuses Rolling Out, Here's How To Get It Manually

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, News

If you've been waiting for Android 4.1.2 to hit your GSM Galaxy Nexus (yakju), wait no more. Google has already begun the OTA process, but in case you haven't gotten yours yet, we've got the direct link for manual installation. Yay for you! Here's how to make it happen.

First and foremost, you'll need to meet a couple of prerequisites:

  • You must be using a yakju device. Not takju, yakjuux, yakjuxw, or any other variant. If you're not sure what build is on your phone, crack open /system/build.prop and see what it says.
  • You must be on build JRO03C.

So long as those qualifications are met, you should be all set.

Official Galaxy S III Jelly Bean Update Pops Up Again, This Time In Sweden

Posted by in Galaxy S III, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Samsung

The European Galaxy S III Jelly Bean update first turned up in Poland about three weeks ago. At the time, we were hoping it was a good indication that the rest of Europe would follow soon after, but that's about the last we've heard of it until today. In the meantime, Samsung did fire up the update in Korea and reiterated it would soon show up in the States.

Disclaimer: Android Police isn't responsible for any harm to your device - proceed at your own risk.

A new Android 4.1.1 build I9300XXDLIH just surfaced, this time destined for Sweden.

Wi-Fi Motorola XOOM Android 4.1.2 Soak Test Rolling Out, Here's How To Get It Now

Posted by in Jelly Bean 4.1, News, XOOM

Well, that was fast. Android 4.1.2 was just released to AOSP last week, and Motorola has already started pushing the Wi-Fi XOOM's update out to soak testers. This isn't a huge jump in terms of functionality, and the incremental update will bump the XOOM from build JRO03H (4.1.1) to JZO54K (4.1.2).

Of course, those who aren't soak testers are probably wondering how they can get this update now. The beauty of Google-supported hardware like the Wi-FI XOOM (which is, for all intents and purposes a Nexus device), is that Big G makes updates likes this one available almost immediately. Therefore, it can be downloaded and manually applied right now.

Google+ Mobile App Now Supports Page Management, New Widget, And One Tap Photo Access

Posted by in Applications, News

It seems like you can't go a day anymore without something new being added to Google+. Today, the mobile app is seeing an update that brings some much-requested features, including the ability to manage Pages from mobile. The method is a little wonky. Unlike on the web version, you can't just hop over to a page you're managing. You have to manually log out then log back in, at which point you will be asked what profile or page you want to control. It's bothersome, but at least it works.

2012-10-11 00.00.34 2012-10-10 23.59.46 2012-10-11 00.01.46

The new app also brings an updated widget that looks a bit nicer than the old one.
