In a statement released to the media in, HTC today confirmed that interim Ranger, bowed his head last year, in a series of an X, will continue to freeze 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. This means that the current owners will have to look elsewhere (read: Developer Forum) sense 5 discs unofficial visit, and packaged into Google's Android4.2 updates with the latest tweaks.

Possible update to Android 4.2 for HTC One S

We all want to make the most of our smartphones and this is why the updates are possible. Unfortunately, they do not always go smoothly, as was the case for the HTC One S.

HTC One S had suffered technical problems following the posting of a possible update its system to Android 4.2. The community did not appreciate this lousy update that actually touched the Asian version of the device. Equipped with a Snapdragon S3 processor instead of a Snapdragon S4 like the other version, this model of HTC One S prompted its manufacturer to cancel the update for both versions rather than fill the gaps in the Snapdragon processor S3 abandoned by Qualcomm.

But good news for all owners of HTC One S: the petition at the time by the user seems to have paid off as one of Android developers LlabTooFeR announced July 17 that an update 4.2.2 is in preparation for HTC ONE S with the Snapdragon S4. However, it did not specify anything about the release date. Be patient.

Android 4.3 could happen soon on the HTC Google One Edition

There are and will continue to be a difference between the Nexus device on one side and the device as the HTC One GE and Samsung Galaxy S4 another.
Android 4.3 is indeed available from today for Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 (and of course for the Nexus 7 2).
The HTC One GE as SGS4 GE will receive quickly, but always after the update dedicated to real terminals Nexus.
What could make it even more attractive HTC One GE, which should soon receive this update of the Android system software. Given the imminent release of the Nexus versions, there are more than a few days to wait to see get Android 4.3 on the HTC One GE.

Verizon HTC One announcement pushed till mid-August

HTC rumors have suggested the phone and Verizon Wireless will arrive on August 1. This date seems to be as good as any, as rumors of a date to go. But then, Motorola announced August 1 event Moto smartphones unveiled. Expect a variety of carriers, including big red motorcycle X, which looks like the HTC One launch date may cause skidding.

According to a new leak, Verizon will not be launched HTC One, until August 15. A leaked internal document date change details. Of course, the key here is that this is a leaked document, and has not been confirmed. Then again, it was August 1 onwards has never been confirmed. Verizon has officially HTC One would simply say "this summer."

Looking calendar, and we know that this may mean that at any time through September 21. Apart Moto (we will broadcast live to bring the latest) and HTC launch, Verizon has also recently announced Droid brand mobile phones, including the ultra-Maxx and mini trio. At present, these three are pre-ordered, but they will not until August 20 to begin shipping.

Basically, this is just another way of saying, you might want to hold those pre-orders for the moment. You know, give some time to see what Verizon has planned HTC, Moto ten, we already know and the new Droid HTC One series of specifications, but is still quite a lot of understanding of motorcycle ten Taking this into account bit, but it looks like a big motorcycle X focus will be more experienced than the specifications.

In short, Moto pricing is still a mystery, DROID lineup sitting $ 99, $ 199 to $ 299 mini, super Maxx, respectively. The HTC One with other carriers 32GB model priced at $ 199.99, but with Verizon Release Date similarity, they also did not mention anything about pricing. The bottom line here, it looks like August is portrayed for those looking for a brand new Verizon phone is a good month.

Android this week: Sony Xperia Z reviewed; LG’s G2 teased; HTC One now dual boots

Seems to be the next wave of Android hardware construction and this week, I reviewed the latest from Sony. The company's Xperia Z and T-Mobile's LTE launch last Wednesday, from this year on July 17 to $ 99, and 2420 yuan equal pay carrier. The phone uses a 5-inch 1920 × 1080 display. Some people may be postponed Sony choose a slightly older chip power of the Xperia Z, but in my tests, it is a non-issue.

Not like other currently available flagship phone using Qualcomm Snapdragon600, Sony inserted Snapdragon S4 Pro. This quad-core, 1.5 GHz chip is from last year. However, with 2 GB of memory, of the Xperia Z held their own against their counterparts Galaxy S4, HTC and LG Optimus G Pro motherboard. Yes, the mobile phone as a benchmark slower devices, but I did not have any noticeable lag or slow the comparison.

The Xperia Z quite unique is its resistance to dust and water. Yes, this phone can take a drop in the pool: I checked! You can also take underwater photos and video instead of several hours. The Xperia Z can withstand a meter of water for 30 minutes. Sony lightly skinned Android software, so the interface is not as overwhelming Samsung's TouchWiz or HTC's Sense interface. With T-Mobile's LTE coverage areas, mobile broadband speeds are quite good. T-Mobile has introduced several new LTE markets in your area this week, so it could be ignited.

While Sony is outing new phone, LG teasing its next device. We should not wait too long, though August 7, LG Electronics held a news conference, where it will debut the LG G2; company's first mobile phone an 800 Snapdragon chip. This is the top tier of silicon from Qualcomm, and has faster performance, and greatly improved support for video and still images. It is possible G2 will be able to 4K video capture 4,000 × 2,000 pixels. All power under the hood, the phone will be at least 1920 × 1080 display and 5 inches in size or larger.

HTC one week also brought good news for the owners made ​​me feel happy, because I might soon become one of them. Paul O'Brien of MoDaCo demonstrated his latest work progress of the HTC One: dual-boot option lets you run the HTC Sense or stock Google Android software environment found in the phone's Google Experience version. O'Brien also integrate some better detection bits, such as camera applications, enter the stock market's Android software

Now, however, you can go to one or the other version of the boot. And in these two environments share the same data store. This means adding an application, you run consciousness, for example, when you boot into pure Android, and vice versa. Your account settings, the media and any other data are the same. So far, it looks how:
