Motorola DROID 3 gets update that fixes MMS bug, improves 3G connectivity and more
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 3
The Motorola DROID 3 was the last of the tank-like handsets to not offer 4G LTE connectivity. Surpassed since by the Motorola DROID 4, the device remains an underrated device with one of the best physical QWERTY keyboards to ever slide out the side of a smartphone, and a dual-core processor. Whether it was a matter of the phone showing its age, or just an unfortunate bug that afflicted the device, many Motorola DROID 3 users had found themselves unable to send or receive an MMS message and even installing a third party program from the Google Play Store failed to help. Long talks with Verizon's technical team couldn't solve the problem. But there is a happy ending thanks to an OTA firmware ...

Leaked S Voice app working again on non-Samsung phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
Days after Samsung confirmed to us that it was restricting use of its S Voice app on handsets other than the Galaxy S III, the service appears to be working again. At least on our Sharp Aquos Phone that we've been testing S Voice on from the beginning, normal service has been resumed and the app is performing as well as it ever did. After Samsung initially blocked the service, some enterprising modders managed to alter the APK to get it back up and running again, but we haven't done anything other than install the file that originally leaked.

Galaxy S III S-Voice app now available for all Androids
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
The personal assistant for Android known as Samsung S-Voice has been released on the Galaxy S III smartphone and has been hacked and distributed to the public at the same time. This application works much in the same way as the Galaxy S II voice assistant did when it was released last year and is now being called an Apple Siri-rival due to the relative popularity of that system. Here you’ll be able to download the application and install it on any Android device capable of running it.

Sapphire Pure White B75M-MA Motherboard Detailed
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsSapphirePure White B75M-MA
It looks like Sapphire wants slices of not just the performance and enthusiast pies, but also the high-volume mainstream one. Its latest creation is a motherboard based on Intel's small business-oriented B75 chipset, the Pure White B75M-MA. Built in the micro-ATX form-factor, this board doesn't add too much over the B75's feature set. To begin with, its LGA1155 socket, which supports current generation Core "Ivy Bridge" and previous generation Core "Sandy Bridge" processors, is powered by a 4+1 phase VRM, which draws power from an 8-pin EPS connector. That's a giveaway that a performance/enthusiast design team was behind this mainstream motherboard.

CyanogenMod Android hack hits 2 million installs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
The hacked and completely fan-made Android-based ROM known as CyanogenMod has reached a massive 2 million installs this week, reminding us that it is far and away the most successful Android 3rd party system of all time. This update comes only a few months after CyanogenMod reached 1 million installs, the Google mobile OS-based hack growing now as what appears to be an exponential rate. The install rate is tracked by the CyanogenMod team’s own CM stat tracker which shows also that the last 24 hours have had an additional 11,294 installs as well.

Last week, we were teased with the first picture of PowerColor's Vortex III cooling solution. A little later that week, we also got reports that AMD's add-in board (AIB) partners are working on off-spec dual-GPU graphics accelerators, calling them "Radeon HD 7970 X2", even as AMD's own HD 7990 is on course. It turns out that the card the Vortex III is designed to cool is PowerColor's newest high-end creation, the Radeon HD 7970 X2 Devil13.

ASUS teases new Transformers for Computex debut
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
ASUS loves a good teaser, and its Computex 2012 promo is a fine example of the breed: ominous voice, vague mention of the cloud, and a hint of a new Transformer dockable tablet. “Don’t get set into one form, adapt it and build your own” the video – which you can see after the cut – suggests, in what’s almost certainly a reference to ASUS’ recent drive for tablets that can be slotted into battery-toting keyboards, and phones that dock into slates.

Samsung registers Galaxy Rush, Amp and Helm names
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Samsung has laid a claim to three new potential phone names, registering Galaxy Rush, Galaxy Amp and Galaxy Helm with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The three new trademarks were filed on May 21 and listed as 'mobile telephones; smartphones' so there's a good chance they're intended for phones of some kind.
Does that mean we'll be seeing the Samsung Galaxy Rush replace the Samsung Galaxy S3? Will the Samsung Galaxy Amp be the company's Beats-beater? Can anyone really face going into a shop and asking for a Samsung Galaxy Helm?

Samsung Could Switch to WOLED Technology
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSamsung
Samsung is one of the leading companies that have stated their expansion into the OLED HDTV industry. The company has already announced an upcoming 55” OLED HDTV with more models expected next year. Recently, reports were told that Samsung is looking for a cheaper way to produce OLED screens and will look towards WOLED technology instead. The main difference between OLED and WOLED technology is how the OLED panels are used. In OLED TVs, the OLED panel is both the lamp and the screen and doesn’t require additional lamps in order to show bright images. The downside though is that this process is costly to produce large screens. WOLED technology uses the OLED as white lamps in the back, while a...
