Google Unveils The Nexus Store Locator, Find Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 Devices Near You

Posted by in Android OS, News, Nexus 4

Looking for a Nexus device at a brick and mortar location? Then you may be in luck. Google just unveiled the Nexus Store Locator tool, and it's pretty simple: type in your address, find a Nexus device retailer. You can choose from the Nexus 4 or Nexus 7. Right now the only Nexus 4 retailer in the US is T-Mobile, so it's really just a T-Mobile store locator for the moment if you're looking for one of those. But if you want a Nexus 7, it might be a little more useful.

Still, it's probably a pretty good sign that we can expect the Nexus 4 at other retailers in the not-so-distant future.

EVO 4G (Yes, The Old One) Gets Its First Software Update In Nearly A Year - Just Security Fixes

Posted by in Device Updates, EVO 4G (Supersonic), News, Sprint

While it's been nearly a year since Sprint last issued an OTA update to the EVO 4G, it looks like the Now Network isn't quite content to let the first EVO die just yet. A small patch incorporating security fixes was announced over at the Sprint Community forum today, bringing the EVO to version 5.07.651.6.

While this may not be the world's most anticipated update, it's definitely a noteworthy one. It's one of the first times we've seen an Android phone get an official update after over two years on the market, at least in the US. The EVO 4G was released in June 2010 - 32 months ago.

[Deal Alert] HTC One VX In Red And White Is $.01 From AT&T And Amazon Wireless, Respectively

Posted by in AT&T, Deals, One VX

Want An HTC One VX for V-Day, for practically nothing? Then head to AT&T's website or Amazon, depending upon which color you prefer. Both have the device on sale for $.01 with a new or extended contract, but AT&T has the red version, while Amazon has the white. The regular subsidized price from both retailers for the phone is $49.99. I'd go with the white ( it looks a little more snazzy) but there's no accounting for taste. It's the cheapest we've seen this model, and both phones come with free shipping.

If you need a memory refresh, the One VX is an updated version of the original One S, with a dual-core 1.2Ghz Snapdragon processor, 4.5-inch 960x540 LCD screen,a 5MP camera, Ice Cream Sandwich (with 4.1 Jelly bean promised), and 8GB of storage.

The Nexus 4 Finally Gets Android 4.2.2 (JDQ39) As Well - Here Are Instructions For Installing It Manually

Posted by in Jelly Bean 4.2, News, Nexus 4

Good news, everyone! The Nexus 4 Android 4.2.2 OTA (JDQ39) is finally here, surprisingly late in the update cycle, following the Nexus 10 and older Nexus devices, such as both variants of the Nexus 7 and both variants of the Galaxy Nexus. Chances are you probably don't have the coveted update notification just yet, but who wants to wait if you can sideload it manually? Rooted, unrooted, stock or custom recovery - it matters not.

Rumor: HP Is Working On Android Tablets, At Least One With Tegra 4, And Possibly A Smartphone

Posted by in Android OS, HP, News, Rumors

According to ReadWrite and The Verge, HP is working on some new tablets. Tablets that run Android. Which is... well, surprising isn't really the world. Interesting? Sort of? Maybe?

After the failure of the Touchpad, HP basically had three options if it wanted to get back in the consumer tablet game: Windows RT, Android, or another stab at WebOS. HP allegedly threw out plans for Windows RT hardware in June of last year, and WebOS is an open source husk of itself that hasn't been acknowledged by the company in months. This new rumor seems to confirm it's Android or bust for any new HP slates, at least for the time being.

Here's The Android 4.2.2 JDQ39 Update For The Yakju GSM Galaxy Nexus [Manual Installation Instructions]

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, Google, Jelly Bean 4.2, News

A few days ago, Google pushed out the Android 4.2.2 (build JDQ39) update to the takju variants of the Galaxy Nexus. Takju Nexuses are the devices sold in the Google Play Store, whereas yakju ones can be found in other retail channels. Good news for those waiting on the latter - though a day after its sibling, we finally have the yakju OTA file that can be applied manually on any stock device, including unrooted ones with stock recovery.

If you're not sure whether you have a takju or yakju variant, download Nexus Update Checker from the Play Store and see what it says.
