Last month, Sprint served up a dose of Jelly Bean for its variant of LG’s Optimus G, and today it appears that AT&T is following suit. We’ve received a flurry of tips and screenshots like the one above denoting that Ma Bell is slowly starting to trickle out Android 4.1.2 to its Optimus G owners. Seeking confirmation, we’ve reached out to AT&T and will provide an update of our own once we receive official word on the matter. Until then, if you’re rocking an Optimus G on Big Blue’s network, now might be the time to manually check your device for new software.

The Android device dashboard has been providing a picture of OS version distribution since before Froyo pushed aside Eclair, but now it’s seeing some changes. A post on the Android Developers Google+ page indicates that starting this month, numbers are based on devices whose users actively checked Google Play during the reporting period. Previously, it counted all devices that pinged Google servers.

Got a relatively recent version of Android on your smartphone? Good, because today, Google’s giving Jelly Bean users another reason to be happy. In the company’s latest update to Gmail, users will now find the ability to archive, delete and reply to incoming mail directly from the notifications drawer — a small improvement, but we’ll gladly take it. What’s more, users of Ice Cream Sandwich and above will benefit from faster searches (online and off), along with a few performance improvements and bug fixes, too. So, time to tap that update button, eh?Filed under: Software, Mobile, GoogleCommentsSource: Official Gmail Blog

Lenovo S920 and S820 leak, could pack Android 4.2.1, quad-core CPUs and dual-SIM slots

Lenovo’s still far from a boldfaced name when it comes to Android smartphones. Its Clover Trail+-packing K900 aside, the company’s mobile focus tends to skew towards the lower-end. And so it seems the company’s prepping two new Jelly Bean handsets for the Asian market, the purported S920 and S820, judging by a few leaked blurrycam shots over on MyDrivers.com. From what we can see, the devices appear to share a similar slim, rounded edge design language with a rear-facing camera protruding prominently on back. According to the rumored specs, both are tipped to rely on MediaTek’s quad-core Cortex-A7 SoC, include dual-SIM support and run Android 4.2.1 (skinned, of course)

HTC Myst specs purportedly leak, hint at a second-gen social phone

Published on March 8, 2013, by Admin - AllPhoneNews in Engadget.com Android.

Image htc-myst-leak.jpg

We wouldn’t exactly call the social networking-focused HTC ChaCha (aka Status) and Salsa resounding successes in the smartphone world when they were quickly overshadowed by… just about everything with a Facebook app, really. Still, there’s been murmurs of a comeback, and Unwired View’s historically reliable evleaks has obtained specs for what’s supposedly the follow-up. The HTC Myst (Myst #UL, to be exact) wouldn’t have any special tricks on the surface beyond preloaded Facebook apps, but it could be surprisingly well-equipped for a mid-range Jelly Bean device: a 4.3-inch 720p screen, a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4, LTE and 16GB of non-expandable storage would be nothing to sneeze at. About the only sacrifices would be the 1GB of RAM and a potentially UltraPixel-free 5-megapixel rear camera.

Today’s been a good day for smartphone updates. In addition to the One X on AT&T and the Droid RAZR on Verizon both receiving bumps to Jelly Bean, Sprint is giving another reason to smile with an update to Android 4.1.2 for the Optimus G. Along with the usual set of improvements such as Google Now, Chrome replaces the default Android browser in this release, and users will also find improved voice search and a new camera app. Additionally, users of alternative launchers will be glad to know that system widgets can be now be installed without root access.

ZTE Grand Memo hands-on: a first look at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 in action (video)

ZTE caught us by surprise today, outing a Snapdragon 800-infused version of the Grand Memo at its MWC 2013 presser. The device, which still features the same 5.7-inch display, 13-megapixel rear camera and 3,200mAh battery, is nearly indistinguishable from the other variants we saw on the showfloor. But for this go-round, ZTE increased the Memo’s resolution to 1080p (Update: there’s some confusion as to the resolution given at the event and in the official PR. Will clarify when we hear back.) and has also added in Dolby Digital Plus Surround for a superior audio experience.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 preview: an 8-inch S Pen tablet that’s also a phone

Image note8dsc06405-1361644152.jpg

An updated, larger Galaxy Note from Samsung was inevitable. Given the undeniable popularity of mid-size tablets (see: Apple iPad mini), it’s no surprise the Korean electronics giant would want to strengthen its foothold in a category it helped create. It was just three short years ago that Samsung introduced the Galaxy Tab and now, three Notes later, it’s ready to perfect the one-handed experience. With this new Note, the company’s culled the best of what’s around its Galaxy into an 8-inch form factor, housing a 1,280 x 800 TFT display, Exynos 4 Quad with 2GB RAM (clocked at 1.6GHz), TouchWiz-skinned Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 OS, S Pen (and suite of associated apps), as well as radios for HSPA+ and WiFi into that familiar, lightweight plastic body. But that extra inch alone isn’t the Galaxy Note 8.0′s main attraction.

Based on this morning’s leak, you already knew that LG’s smartphone lineup was about to become more diversified, but now we’re able to share concrete details of the Optimus F5 and F7, which will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress. As the naming scheme suggests, the Optimus F7 is the larger of the two with a 4.7-inch (312ppi) True HD IPS display, a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, an 8-megapixel primary camera, 2GB RAM and a 2,540mAh battery. Meanwhile, the Optimus F5 will be targeted at those who prefer a more compact smartphone, as it wields a 4.3-inch (256ppi) IPS display, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, a 5-megapixel primary camera, 1GB RAM and a 2,150mAh battery. Common among both devices are Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), support for LG’s QSlide and Live Zooming software features, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing shooter, 8GB built-in storage, microSD support and LTE connectivity. The Optimus F5 will come to market first in Europe during the second quarter, which is to be followed by the Optimus F7 “in select markets.” Sadly, pricing has yet to be announced for either smartphone

It’s been a long time coming, but Android 4.1.2 has finally arrived for the phone that began the whole “is it a phone, or is it a tablet?” quandary: the original international Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. The Jelly Bean update brings a number of improvements to the OG Note, with a brand new Nature UX that brings it a little closer to the Note sequel in terms of look and feel. It’ll also get features like Multi-Window, Page Buddy, Smart Rotation and of course, Google Now. As usual, the update will roll out in phases depending on your country or carrier and is available via Kies or over the air.Filed under: Cellphones, Mobile, SamsungCommentsSource: Sammobile

Android 4.2.2 began arriving on an assortment of Nexus devices yesterday with “performance and stability” improvements listed as the only changes, but Android Police dug into Google’s change logs and compiled a list of small tweaks. With the update on board, Play Store downloads now display the time left to their completion, and Android Debug Bridge security is shored-up with the addition of a whitelist. Now, WiFi and Bluetooth tiles can be toggled by a long press in the notification Quick Settings. The release also makes hardware play a tone when it begins to charge wirelessly with less than 95% juice left, and uses new low battery and cord-free charging chimes for the Nexus 4

Huawei Ascend P2 flaunts svelte profile in more leaked shots

Published on February 6, 2013, by Admin - AllPhoneNews in Engadget.com Android.

Image huaweiascendp2leak03-1360143396.jpg

As MWC draws near, it’s not surprising to see an increase in leaks, and today we bring you a few more pictures of Huawei’s Ascend P2, which recently made a cameo in some unofficial product shots. The 4.7-inch full HD handset is expected to feature Android 4.1.2, a quad-core 1.8 GHz processor (developed in house), 2GB of RAM, 8GB of built-in storage (plus microSD), a 13MP shooter and a 2200mAh battery. Slotting below the 5-inch Ascend D2 and 6.1-inch Ascend Mate we saw at CES, the Ascend P2 is rumored to be less than 6.45mm thick with Nexus 4-like on-screen buttons. Of course, since the FCC is unlikely to certify such a svelte device, it’s likely we’ll see a tweaked version of this phone if it ever makes it to the US — then again, it looks thicker to us in the pictures. Pricing is supposedly targeting the 3,000 Yuan mark ($480), unsubsidized
