Here at Ausdroid we test a lot of applications, and like us, the Android Police have come across a major annoyance — apps that generate spam notifications requesting that you install other apps. These are incredibly annoying, but if you’re a bit more of a power-user, you’d know that Jelly Bean 4.1 gives you a [...]

We at Ausdroid have occasionally experienced this kind of remorse, and no, you dirty people out there, we’re not talking about regretting our Saturday night exploits. Rather, we’re talking about what happens if you’ve modified your phone and all of a sudden you need to rely on that precious warranty to get it fixed. If [...]

Facebook Home might not be to your liking; some people like what they’ve seen, and others surely don’t.

If you’re looking to get your hands on Facebook Home a tad early, then you can now do so. Thanks to a handy leak, the 3 APKs have been uploaded onto the majestic thing we call the internet for everyone to download and install onto their devices. We’re currently unsure of which devices the APKs [...]

The release of a Google Messaging system named ‘Babel’ that unifies Google Messaging apps such as Google Messaging, GTalk and other Google Chat services seems pretty certain at this stage. A search for the term ‘Babel’ in the Google Groups Chromium database shows a large number of results and now Patric Dhawaan over on Google+ [...]

We first saw evidence of a new Google Play re-design last month in the form of a video walk through. But it appears that the new Google Play Store for Android is in the process of being tested by Google Staff in a process known as Dog-Fooding. Last night Google Staff member Eileen Rivera, who [...]
