Published on Thursday, June 24, 2010 by Ali Fazel Sprint may be getting ready to push out another maintenance release for the Evo 4G, set for June 28 according to inside sources. Three things are rumored for the update:WiFi signal reportingExchange ActiveSync policy improvementsSocial networking improvements to address battery life issuesSounds like a good update all in all, and touches on what we've already heard as...

Published on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 by Phil Nickinson We've had the Motorola Droid X for all of, oh, about 10 hours now, and damned if it hasn't already gotten a software update. Not sure exactly what was changed in version 1.13.516.en.US (that's up from 1.113.514) because the changelog link points to Motorola's home page. More than likely it's just something that was changed after these demo units were assembled. Or, it...

Published on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 by Phil Nickinson So the Droid X isn't launching with Android 2.2. That's a bummer. And and it's not going to be available until "late summer." That's what we were told at Verizon's Droid X event, and it's what Verizon's saying in the internal document you see above. But the doc also says that the original Droid will get Android 2.2 (and Flash 10.1) sometime in...

Published on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Everybody's favorite Googler, Ry Guy, is back in the Nexus One forums to reiterate something -- the FRF72 build of Android 2.2 for the Nexus One that popped up over the weekend is not the "official" or "final" build. But you already knew this, right? Let's think it through: FRF72 wasn't actually pushed out to the public. Just like wi...

Published on Sunday, June 20, 2010 by Phil Nickinson The Evo 4G's already gotten one bugfix update -- released right at launch -- and another one apparently is coming down the pike. Engadget's been told that a software fix for screen responsiveness problems (which appear to be intermittent; we haven't experienced them) is coming, and we've been told that WiFi signal strength reporting may be tweaked, too, to improve ac...

Published on Thursday, June 17, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Motorola just added a slew of new non-U.S. phones to its Android 2.1 update list (see the previous update), including a bunch of Backflips and Quenches. Doesn't really give us a better idea of when the new software will actually be available, but it's good to see Moto at least trying to be transparent about it. That said, it'd be great if we'd see some Android 2.2 upd...

Published on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 by Phil Nickinson An update to Foursquare just came down the pike, and this one's a goody if you're anal about your check-ins. (Wonder which side of the fence we're about to be on?) You now have the ability to fix those blasted incorrect, inaccurate or otherwise just plain wrong locations.Now your old friend Jeremy, who fled his beloved hometown for the Midwest, can't become mayor of ...

Published on Thursday, June 10, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Adobe Flash is finally coming to Android with the update to Froyo, and quite a few of us have been rocking Android 2.2 for a few weeks now. So let's put it to you, folks. Now that you've actually been using Flash on Froyo, how's it working out? Killing your battery? Slowing your phone? Or is it shooting rainbows and unicorns out of the headphone jack? Hit up the...

Published on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 by Phil Nickinson For everybody who's asking us when the Nexus One will get its official update to Froyo, well, we still don't know. But Google employee passion-ate does give us an Android 2.2 update update (see what we just did there?). Anyhoo, here goes: Apologies for keeping everybody waiting. We are not intentionally holding back on Froyo, just improving the overall experien...
