Report: some iPhone 4S units may have audio issues on calls

Report: some iPhone 4S units may have audio issues on calls

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

The Apple Support Communities forum has begun seeing widespread reports of intermittent audio failure on calls using the iPhone 4S, an issue where recipient can hear the caller but he cannot hear them. The problem is not consistent but happens often enough to be a source of irritation with users. While some have found workarounds, there is no indication in current developer builds of iOS 5 that any fix is in the works in the near-term.

Google: Android 4.0 'Holo' theme to be mandatory on all devices with Android Market

Google: Android 4.0 'Holo' theme to be mandatory on all devices with Android Market

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

Google is rightfully proud of its native theme in Ice Cream Sandwich. Dubbed Holo, it's intuitive, functional and -- dare we say it -- downright sexy. Now, in an effort to provide all users with a consistent interface, the company is making the theme essential for all Android 4.0 devices that come bundled with the Android Market. That's right, the stock, undiluted experience. Don't be alarmed, though, because manufacturer customizations aren't going anywhere, and the changes aren't terribly drastic. In fact, for users of Sense, TouchWiz and the like, Google is issuing architectural mandates that will make it dead simple for independent developers to create apps that fit nicely into these cus...

Asus Transformer Prime's latest firmware already rooted

Asus Transformer Prime's latest firmware already rooted

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

The fun doesn't stop today for the Transformer Prime: we've seen Asus confirm the release date for Android 4.0, a new firmware update pushed out, and now the device has been rooted for the first time by xda-developers poster jcase and TeamAndIRC. There's video proof on YouTube showing the Transformer Prime running the latest firmware and accessing root-only apps like Superuser and Titanium Backup, but you'll have to be patient if you want to root your own tablet. The team behind this hack aren't planning on releasing it into the wild until after January 12th so that Asus can't block it when it pushes out Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung Series 5 Ultra up for pre-order in the US, brings optical media to the ultrabook for $949

Samsung Series 5 Ultra up for pre-order in the US, brings optical media to the ultrabook for $949

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: NotebooksSamsung

Koreans won't be the only ones sticking DVDs into exceptionally thin laptops this year: Samsung's Series 5 Ultra laptops are now available for pre-order at J&R. The first time we heard of the aluminum-clad ultrabooks, we didn't have a firm grasp of specs or pricing, but the e-tailer's seemingly spilled all the beans ahead of CES. There are two models, an optical-drive-equipped 14-incher for $949.99 and a 13.3-inch machine for $899.99, but they're otherwise nearly identically specced: both come with a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Core i5-2467M processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 500GB hard drive with 16GB of solid state storage cache (increasingly popular these days), a 1366 x 768 display, integrated ...

Amazon's Silk Browser ported from Kindle Fire to other Android devices

Amazon's Silk Browser ported from Kindle Fire to other Android devices

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

One of the original selling points of Amazon's Kindle Fire was the Silk browser, which promised cloud-accelerated speeds to users. Silk loads some webpage elements on the server side, and tries to predict which links you'll click on next so it can preload the next page you're likely to visit. Now, a member of the xda-developers forum has released what is apparently a port of Silk for other Android devices.

HTC Radiant pictured ahead of Windows Phone 4G revolution

HTC Radiant pictured ahead of Windows Phone 4G revolution

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

After a quick look at this leaked picture of a HTC Windows Phone 7 handset, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you'd been peeking at a HTC Titan.
But take a closer look at the top edge where the logo is slightly bigger and where the front facing camera is a bit more prominent. And the side, where the buttons are in a different position. And not to mention the back which is completely ruddy different.

HP Unwraps Omni 27 All-in-One PC and HPE h9 Phoenix Gaming System Ahead of CES

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

Most vendors are using the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas as a launchpad for new products, but a select few are tipping their hand ahead of the convention. Hewlett-Packard is one of them, presumably because it's saving CES for its big Spectre Ultrabook reveal. In the meantime, HP has decided to share a handful of new systems, including its first 27-inch all-in-one (AIO) PC and a Phoenix gaming system the OEM claims is the "most powerful HP Pavilion PC to date."

ASUS to Issue Bootloader Unlock Tool for Transformer Prime, ICS Update Due January 12

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

In response to criticism from the modding and open-source communities, ASUS announced today that it would be issuing a bootloader unlock tool for its new Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet (read parts one and two of our review) at an undetermined future date. Because of DRM concerns, unlocking the Transformer Prime's bootloader will render it unable use Google's video rental service, and it will also void the device's warranty.

Samsung Galaxy Note Gets ICS-based CyanogenMod 9 Build

Samsung Galaxy Note Gets ICS-based CyanogenMod 9 Build

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

Work on CyanogenMod 9 continues: yesterday saw the release of an experimental development build for the Samsung Galaxy Note, the first port of the new Ice Cream Sandwich-based OS to support the device. Samsung's official Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the Note is scheduled to be released before the end of the first quarter of 2012.
The new port is labeled "experimental" for good reason - while wi-fi, cellular data, audio, the touchscreen, and the GPS and sensors should be working properly, Bluetooth, battery usage, MTP mode, and the camera aren't. The team says that the camera won't work until it gets access to one of Samsung's official Android 4.0 builds for the Note, while the build's cur....

MSI Throws Down 15.6-inch Gauntlet with GT685 Gaming Notebook

Posted on Jan 04, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: NotebooksMSIGT685

For whatever reason, we envision the "god of war" being bigger than 15.6 inches, but let's not fault MSI for being excited about its new GT685 gaming laptop and calling it such. With a traditional screen size in tow, the GT685 has the chops to be a desktop replacement, and could even be a desktop killer depending on how it's spec'd out. Let's have a look at what it brings to the table.
