After reviewing the HTC One XL, I decided that I may as well root it seeing as though there's currently no way to unlock the bootloader officially and unofficially. It was actually one of the easiest phones to root -- at least it was for me. Just download the needed files, follow the instructions, and you're done! This process works Continue reading...

HTC has upped its game from the One X to the LTE-enabled One XL and it's worth every cent. The HTC One XL isn't a design we've never seen before; it's the HTC One X with a few tweaks. Well, by "tweaks", we mean some pretty awesome under-the-hood changes. It picks up where the One X left off, but has Continue reading...

Looks aren`t always everything, but sometimes they`re enough I`ve been getting to this for nearly 5 months, but I've finally gotten here. To be fair, this phone came out at the same time my Galaxy Nexus arrived. I attended the launch of the Huawei Vision back in November, which was held at the White Rabbit Gallery in Sydney. The Vision was Continue reading...

Android "hacker" extraordinaire, Chainfire, has already rooted the Samsung Galaxy S III, and it hasn't even launched yet. Chainfire said he couldn't release the insecure kernel he has that will allow root access, as it might be traced back to the helpful leaker.

If you own a HTC One X and have experience irregular multitasking (ie. apps being killed when you switch to another app) you're not alone. The One X community is up-in-arms at HTC as to why it is happening and if there's a "fix" coming for it. Turns out HTC think it's perfectly normal behaviour, but will look into people's Continue reading...

The great team over at PC World Australia are reporting that Samsung Australia has sent out invites to the media for a launch event happening on May 31st. What might that event be for, you ask? Well I think this blanket statement from Samsung Aus sums it up nicely: "Samsung Electronics Australia is pleased there is continued interest about our GALAXY Continue reading...

One of the things that Android and Google both cop flack over is the speed at which updates to the Android OS filter out to both new phones and as updates to older devices. One of the reasons specified previously by OEMs has been the fact that they don't receive access to the source code for the latest update until Google Continue reading...
