| iPhone 5 Home Button Leaks, We Have Pictures! Posted: 24 Apr 2012 04:18 PM PDT
Chinese parts vendor TVC Mall has already started offering iPhone 5 components, namely Home buttons that can be seen in the following images. It’s not uncommon to start seeing the parts of a yet unlaunched device and yes, this has happened before, a bunch of times actually. The buttons for the iPhone 5 are available for sale in black and white and they’re a bit different from what we’re used to. The new button seems to have a rounded square shape like the iOS app icons. However, they keep the round depression for the button, as the current version and TVC Mall mentions the differences in its description. It’s not yet clear if the average user will notice the difference, since the rounded square portion could as well be flush with the surface of the new iPhone and have the rounded portion in a depression. There’s also the option that the rounded square portion is placed below the surface of the device and invisible to the user. It’s very likely that the mechanism will be a flush one and only show the user the standard round Home button area, like previous versions. In the meantime, know that the home buttons have also appeared on TrueSupplier and TVC Mall has a solid history of leaking parts for unlaunched iOS devices… Related posts:

| Motorola Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX Get Software Updates, Not ICS! Posted: 24 Apr 2012 03:50 AM PDT
After a bunch of soak tests for Android 4.0 on the Motorola Droid RAZR, it’s time for another update, this time a firmware one. Earlier this month Moto was playing with the idea of an ICS update though that soak test, that also involved the Droid RAZR MAXX at some point, but in the end it was pulled. Last week we also saw a soak test for the latest flavour of Gingerbread, but it was only involving a bunch of software fixes. The new update that we found out about today takes care of the Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX and brings them up to software version 6.12.181, still with Gingerbread 2.3.6 as the main OS. The update takes up 17.4MB and it doesn’t take a long while to install. The software brings better device stability and battery life, better Bluetooth call volume, improved security and IPv6 implementation. There’s also improved text message delivery, better visual voice mail experience, a bug fix for the HotSpots with WPS security and more accurate 4G connectivity icon. You’ll also notice some changes to the MotoCast applications. Hopefully, Ice Cream Sandwich will also arrive soon enough and for now remember to install OTA RootKeeper and backup everything before you update. OTA RootKeep has the role of restoring the root and restarting the phone even after the update. No related posts.  |
| Samsung Unpacked Mobile 2012 Now Has an Android App, Mentions Galaxy S3 as Product Name Posted: 24 Apr 2012 03:21 AM PDT
Samsung may have unveiled way too little in yesterday’s teaser, but there’s some interesting info to learn from its Unpacked Mobile 2012 app. This one you can download from Google Play and as you can see it includes the Galaxy S3 as codename, so this is pretty clear on what product we’ll see on May 3rd. Till now speculations said that we should expect to either see the Galaxy S III, a Galaxy S II Plus model or maybe a new tablet. However, it’s clear that at least the Galaxy S III will be present in London next week. The app requires Android 2.2, takes up 14MB, it’s free and includes the map of the London area where the event takes place, the event schedule, teasers and even a Live option to watch the mystery unfold. This week was filled with Galaxy S III leaks, starting with a video, live pics, benchmarks a Samsung teaser and now this. Everyone’s still confused about the smartphone’s specs, but it’s becoming clear that we’ll only get a slight improvement over the predecessor. We will get a quad core Exynos CPU, a 4.6 inch 720p display, an 8 megapixel camera, NFC, Android 4.0 and 16GB of storage… Would you buy this handset, considering it doesn’t bring a huge improvement to the table?
