Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy S4, HTC, News, One, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile

There's a lot happening in the CyanogenMod world this morning. First and most importantly, the AT&T variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 now has official CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2) support, following the T-Mobile and Canadian versions. According to this Google+ post, supporting the AT&T S4 was simply a matter of patching a previous build. One nightly ROM is available at the time of writing, with more stable releases sure to follow soon.

Now, onto the other 800 pound gorilla of the current Android market, the HTC One. The CyanogenMod team has adjusted the codenames of the international, Sprint, and T-Mobile versions of the One.

BSkyB TV And Movie Apps Return To The Google Play Store After Syrian Electronic Army Hack

Posted by in Applications, News

Last week we reported that British Sky Broadcasting Group's Google Play apps and Twitter account had been compromised by the Syrian Electronic Army, a fringe group of hackers and digital vandals in support of the current Syrian government. After the hack was discovered, Sky's apps published under the BSkyB label were removed from the Play Store. Sky reports that the app descriptions were defaced, but the apps files (APKs) themselves were never replaced. Sky now has control of its Twitter account, and has sent out a message saying all its Android apps have returned.

That includes digital streaming service Sky Go, movie rental and purchase service Sky Movies, sports news app Sky Sports TV, and programming guide/manager Sky+.

SPH-L600 Passes Through Bluetooth Certification - Likely The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 For Sprint

Posted by in Galaxy Mega 6.3, News, Sprint

The Galaxy Mega 6.3 was announced alongside its smaller sibling, the Mega 5.8, early last month. Given their enormity and relatively middling specifications, we didn't expect to see the monster handsets come stateside. Now, it seems like at least one of them will, and it's the Mega 6.3.

A recent Bluetooth SIG filing for model SPH-L600 - a designation with basically no known history - contains little information of use, other than confirming this is a Samsung handset with LTE bound for Sprint, as can be deduced from the model prefixes.

However, we have good reason to believe (via a reliable source) that the screen size of this device is 6.3 inches, a description that only the Galaxy Mega 6.3 fits.

With MessagePetz, Your Kids Can Send You A Digital Hug Before They Have Nightmares About Their Horrible Robot Teddy

Posted by in News

I don't have kids, so it's entirely possible I don't "get it." By "it" I mean this freaky robot teddy bear that sends and receives text messages because 2005 still had one more horror movie on its to-do list that it forgot to tell us about. That's what MessagePetz are. They're teddy bears that have a cold, black screen with bright blue LEDs shoved into their torsos.

Of course, maybe I'm being too hard on this thing. After all, aside from the gaping chest cavity and surgically-enhanced cyborg parts, this thing is kind of cute! How does it work? Well, you see, mommy sends a text message to the bear, which is then displayed on its chest.

Keyprop Phone Stand Reaches $30K Kickstarter Funding Goal With A Day To Spare, Revolutionizes Phone Standing

Posted by in News

Every now and then I stumble across a product that I'm instantly frustrated with. I was living my life perfectly contentedly, but now that I've seen this thing, I must have it. For the next ten minutes, that thing is the Keyprop phone stand that just secured funding on Kickstarter at the last moment. This is a tiny stand that works with all smartphones and is always there when you need it.

The concept behind Keyprop is elegantly simple. It's a key-shaped stand that fits comfortably on keychains and props phones up by plugging into their headphone jacks (or the lightning dock on the iPhone 5).

Official Imgur App Leaves Geo-Restricted Beta, Now Available For All Users

Posted by in Applications, News

Imgur's official Android app first hit the scene back in early-ish April, but was then geo-restricted to Australia (later expanded to UK and Canada) whilst in its beta period, leaving tens of thousands (possibly even millions) of angry image-searchers without, well, an app. Hell was raised, tempers flared, blah blah blah. The calm settled in once again, and life went back to normal for the bulk of us.

But now, everything changes.

1 2 3

You want an Imgur app? It's yours. The app has left its beta period, thus the geo-restriction has been lifted. It's free to travel the world, but it can't do it alone – it can only live through your handset.

Respected Security Researcher To Demo "One Root To Rule Them All" At Black Hat Conference

Posted by in News

There may be many ways to root an Android phone, but there's allegedly one root to rule them all. At this year's Black Hat USA 2013 conference, security researcher Jeff Forristal will detail how to gain system access and control on nearly any Android device. The bug was disclosed back in February, and Google presumably has worked to patch the vulnerability in the months since, so don't get too excited.

Forristal claims he can modify APKs without having to re-sign them. This means someone with ill intentions could install malicious code masked as a legit app, or they could update existing apps without needing the signing key, compromising apps users naturally assume are safe.

Evleaks Breaks Down HTC's Upcoming Phablet In Detail - 5.9" Display, Snapdragon 800, Fingerprint Scanner, Stylus

Posted by in HTC, News, Rumors

Grab your grains of salt, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for a little rumor-mongering. The quite-often-reliable @evleaks has once again turned on the taps, and out has flowed an impressive stream of detail about an upcoming HTC phone codenamed 'T6.' The existence of the device, just so you know, has also been corroborated by Pocket-lint in the past.

This device is allegedly HTC's first super-sized smartphone, with a display measuring up at a staggering 5.9 inches. That display will be full HD, and a Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor (MSM8974) clocked at 2.3GHz will provide the power to push the pixels. 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (with microSD slot), a 3300mAh battery, and an Ultrapixel rear camera round out the purported specifications.
