Verizon promises major Droid Bionic bug fix in November

Verizon promises major Droid Bionic bug fix in November

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

A Droid-Life reader contacted Verizon about some issues with his Droid Bionic smartphone and was rewarded for his efforts with a huge bug list and a timeline for fixing them. A fix for the 4G/3G connection issues is scheduled for November, and the high-pitch noise when using a headset, MMS bugs, Lapdock problems and others should be addressed at the same time. Verizon also cautions that users can't use non-Verizon or non-Motorola chargers and USB cables with the handset, and connecting eight devices at the same time won't work, unlike early promises.

AT&T confirms iPhone insurance hike on October 4

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

AT&T has confirmed previous rumors that it will be increasing the cost of iPhone insurance starting October 4.

It’s interesting to note that AT&T had this date picked all the way back in July, according to the below leaked screenshot obtained by 9to5mac.

Nokia Sabre joins Sea Ray in Windows Phone line up?

Nokia Sabre joins Sea Ray in Windows Phone line up?

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

The Nokia Sabre looks set to join the Nokia Sea Ray in the company's Windows Phone launch line up, after Microsoft accidentally included the product name in a competition's terms and conditions.
Naturally, the text has since been changed to remove the product names which, in its removal, kind of makes the Nokia Sabre seem all the more likely.
However, the Sea Ray is just a product codename, so there's no guarantee that the Nokia Sabre will hit the shelves with that moniker.

Samsung Galaxy W visits FCC with AT&T bands

Samsung Galaxy W visits FCC with AT&T bands

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

The Samsung Galaxy W has just stopped by the FCC packing bands that are compatible with the AT&T network that suggests it could possibly arrive in the states sometime in the near future.
The Samsung Galaxy W has all of the makings of a mid-range smartphone when you consider the competition. It is an Android 2.3 Gingerbread device that packs a 3.7-inch display. Under the hood of the Galaxy W is a single-core 1.4GHz processor. That speed doesn’t shout mid-range but in a world ruled by other Android-powered handsets that are powered by dual-core processors it gets that title by default. The Galaxy W also has 512MB of RAM.

The Samsung Galaxy Note has passed through the FCC with AT&T bands

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

The massive Samsung Galaxy Note with its 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display has just passed through the FCC with support for AT&T 3G bands suggesting its release is just around the corner.
The Samsung Galaxy Note is somewhat of a hybrid device. It is a cross between a smartphone and a tablet which is similar to what Dell tried to accomplish with the original Streak. Not only does the Galaxy Note pack a whopping 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display (with an equally impressive 1280x800 resolution), it is powered by a dual-core 1.4GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.

White Samsung Galaxy S II hitting Canada's Bell on October 7th

White Samsung Galaxy S II hitting Canada's Bell on October 7th

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Well if all those British carriers can get the white version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, so can a Canada-based operator. Bell Mobility is Samsung’s “partner in crime” and will start selling the super-sexy smartphone on October 7th. In other words, if you live in Canada, still haven’t “pushed the button” and grabbed some device, maybe it’s wise to wait for one more week. You’ll be able to grab this baby… or perhaps the Apple iPhone 5 (or that’s 4S). If you do choose to “take the Android road,” you’ll have to pour out CA$149.95 for the white Galaxy S II along with committing on a way-too-long three-year contract. Alternatively, you will be able to cash out CA$599.95 and grab the phone sans any...

Major Security Hole Uncovered in Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T

Major Security Hole Uncovered in Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

While reviewing the new Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T, the folks at BGR noted something unusual. With the right combination of button presses, the device’s pattern and PIN lock screens can be bypassed. This makes locking the phone essentially pointless. The real ‘uh-oh’ here is that AT&T and Samsung were unaware of this flaw, uncovered by a simple reviewer.

Tablets, smartphones to get speed boost with new memory

Tablets, smartphones to get speed boost with new memory

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: Cell PhonesTablets

A new form of mobile DDR3 memory that can speed up tablets, smartphones, and laptops could appear in devices starting as early as late next year, with adoption ramping up in 2013, analysts said on Thursday.
Low-power DDR3 memory -- also called LPDDR3 -- will bring a bigger data transfer pipe to tablets and smartphones, which could translate into better performance and longer battery life, analysts said. Standards-setting organization JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) is defining the specifications for LPDDR3, which draws heavily from conventional DDR3 DRAM found in PCs today.

Physical iPhone 5 Prototype made in Germany

Physical iPhone 5 Prototype made in Germany

Posted on Sep 30, 2011 by MG1

iPhone 5 images and renders are common. Benm.at, part of the Giga.de network took things a lot further. They developed a physical iPhone 5 prototype. Benm.at says that the iPhone 5 prototype is based on CAD designs, hardware components, several leaked hints, cases and recent, believable mockups we created a three-dimensional computer model. This virtual model was then used to build a very detailed, true prototype that you can hold in your own two hands.
The process to create this prototype is the same that’s used to create the iPad. The back was machined from a sold block of aluminum, which was later treated with glass pearls to get the same slightly rough touch that we already know from the...
