T-Mobile UK's Samsung Galaxy S finally gets the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S
I’m not sure why it took so long for T-Mobile UK to finally launch the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the original Samsung Galaxy S. I know carriers like to test firmware updates thoroughly, but I don’t think that’s the excuse. Especially when we know that AT&T’s version of the device (Samsung Captivate) and Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G already got the same treatment. What’s more, we know that the Android 2.3.4 is in works for unlocked Galaxy S.

Microsoft teases a WP7 version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, plus new handsets from Fujitsu, ZTE and Acer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftAcerFujitsuZTEWindows Phone 7Galaxy S II
Microsoft's WPC 2011 conference which we reported from yesterday is in full swing, and special time was dedicated to Windows Phone, with Redmond showing off not one or two, but four new WP handsets. While it didn't specify many details about the phones themselves, Microsoft reiterated that we will have three new manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon - Acer, Fujitsu and ZTE.
But there were actually four handsets on stage, with the fourth being none other but the Windows Phone version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, one of the best handsets money can currently buy. Samsung's phone, as well as all others that were present during the keynote, seemed to have the good ol' front-facing camera, which i...

Did the Samsung Triumph just pass through the FCC?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
The FCC has given the green light to yet another handset, and judging by the clues that we managed to spot while digging through the filing, it seems like we are dealing with no other device than the rumored Samsung Triumph.
How do we know? Well, the strongest clue that we came across is the fact that the handset is listed with its SGH-T379 model name, which gets pretty close to the Samsung t379 Triumph that was mentioned in a leaked T-Mobile roadmap not long ago. In case if you are wondering, the device in the filing does support T-Mobile's frequencies and can even run on the carrier's 3G pipelines at theoretical speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. Some of the other goodies that it sports are a side...

Samsung Droid Charge root solution emerges to shakeup your warranty
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungDroid Charge
If you happened to grab the Samsung Droid Charge with its 4G LTE connectivity and unique Super AMOLED Plus display, you've noticed that the usual rooting solutions don't leave a scratch on the device, even though you are nonchalant about voiding the warranty.
Now there is a way to gain complete access to the Samsung Droid Charge, which you might want for various reasons. While it's not advisable to potentially void warranty this way, since the root method is permanent, it is still nice to know that you have options.
You will need the ChargeRoot file from the source link, as well as the Android Software Development Kit, which can be downloaded off of Google's Android website. The SDK require...

Samsung Galaxy S II teardown reveals major redesign, cutting-edge tech
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
As part of its new Teardown Research Service, market research firm ABI Research has torn Samsung’s Galaxy S II apart in order to analyze and test the components Samsung used to build its latest flagship device. “If you are looking to keep up with the latest technology in 2011, the Galaxy S II is a good place to start,” ABI Research’s report states, listing the device’s major changes compared to the original Galaxy S as including the Exynos dual-core processor, a new single-packaged multi-band multi-mode radio from RFMD, a new CMOS-based antenna switch and a lower-power XMM6260 cellular chipset from Infineon. “Samsung started from scratch with this phone: almost every component is new,” ABI R...

AT&T is testing out the NoDo update for Samsung Focus v1.4 handsets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungFocus
y now, the majority of Windows Phone 7 handset owners out there are absorbing all the new features and functionality that come along with the NoDo update. Surprisingly enough, there are some Samsung Focus smartphones out there still waiting for the update to arrive – and it’s indeed becoming one grueling wait for owners!
Well, it seems like the update is going to be available very soon because AT&T is currently testing updates for v1.4 versions of the Samsung Focus. Actually, some people might not know about it, but there are two versions of the Samsung Focus – with v.14 handsets offering different memory modules. In fact, it’s the main reason why it’s taking an exorbitant amount of time to ...

Another Galaxy S II passes through the FCC, possibly rockin' a Tegra 2
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
What we have here appears to be some variation of the Samsung Galaxy S II, with support for 850MHz and 1900MHz GSM frequencies, making its way through the FCC. Now, we know what you're thinking, "didn't we already see an AT&T ready S II?" Yep, but this one sports a different model number -- GT-I9103, and you know where we've seen that before? Those mysterious Tegra 2-equipped Galaxy S II benchmarks. The rumblings of Sammy's flagship handset coming in two versions, one rocking NVIDIA's mobile chip, aren't without precedent -- Exynos is still fairly young silicon and this could be a way to boost supplies (as we put it, in the most politically correct terms possible) "outside its critical marke...

Samsung Galaxy S 2 with Windows Phone 7 incoming?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftWindows Phone 7Galaxy S II
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 is selling like hotcakes and is, by all accounts including our Samsung Galaxy S 2 review, a pretty hot bit of hardware. Now it seems like Samsung could be about to try and use that success as a springboard for a new Windows Phone 7 device.
Clues that the Samsung Galaxy S 2 could be reborn in Windows Phone 7 form have popped up in device testing logs. Read on for the intriguing evidence that the successor to the Samsung Omnia 7 may be from a different galaxy…
The first clue that a Samsung Galaxy S2-style phone with Windows Phone 7 onboard is being toyed with comes from the Bluetooth SIG. It shows a device with the model number SGH-i937 in its listings. That’s a leap of ...

Samsung preps first Windows Phone "Mango" device
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftWindows Phone 7
Samsung’s first Windows Phone “Mango” device has been listed by standards body Bluetooth SIG as the South Korean electronics giant prepares to lead the pack when Mango phones begin launching this fall. Details surrounding the smartphone are not available for the time being, though the model number SGH-i937 has already been confirmed as the Windows Phone-touting successor to the Samsung Focus, which carried the model number SGH-i917. WMPoweruser.com speculates that the device could feature a case and specs similar to the Galaxy S II — Samsung’s fastest-selling smartphone of all time — but that speculation appears baseless. It looks like Samsung will have stiff competition from Nokia when Mang...

Samsung Galaxy S II sells like hotcakes; 3 million sold in 55 days
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
It is one thing for everyone to proclaim that the Samsung Galaxy S II is the hottest smartphone around the globe. It is another to actually have the stats that back it up. According to Samsung, 3 million units of the Galaxy S II have been sold in just 55 days making it the fastest selling phone in Samsung's illustrious history. That beat out the 85 days that it took the original version of the handset to ring up 3 million in sales. At the current rate, a new Samsung Galaxy S II finds an owner every 1.5 seconds. In the U.K., Samsung has been the top selling handset manufacturer for 17 straight weeks.
As amazing as that sounds, we have to take into consideration that the device is not yet avai...

Skype 2 video chat unofficially enabled on the Galaxy S II, Sensation, and others
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungHTCGalaxy S IISensation 4G
The latest Skype update for Android is available to everyone, but it only enables video chat on four specific handsets. Fortunately, impatient modders have gone some way to correcting this profound injustice, by creating APKs that activate video calling on other handsets too. So far we've heard of successful ports on the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation, Thunderbolt and EVO 4G. If you've got some other handset with Android 2.3, a little experimentation with the APK might also be worth your while. However, we just tried it on an Xperia Arc and didn't get very far: the app ran, but efforts to communicate with an Xperia Neo resulted in one-way video, a locked landscape mode and plenty ...
