| Google mystery barge illegally parked, state orders it be moved or face fines Posted: 03 Feb 2014 05:54 PM PST While many are still left speculating as to what Google has planned by their now infamous “mystery barge”, it looks like they might have a hard enough time simply staying afloat… literally. A state agency has notified Google of an apparent lack of proper permits for the barge that first caught public eye back in October. According to San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission executive director Larry Goldzband, the Treasure Island Development Authority — whom originally leased the warehouse to Google where the barge is being constructed — could also face fines if construction of the barge continues. Google issued a quick statement to TechCrunch mentioning the paper works is under review, but hasn’t revealed their game plan just yet. Really, all Google has to do is move the barge to one of the permitted construction facilities in the Bay area to avoid fines and/or enforcement, something much easier said than done. While nobody is 100% positive of the bizarre experiments Google could be conducting inside the barge, it’s speculated it will simply be used as a “learning center” or a showroom for Google to display and educate the world on all their high-tech gadgets.

| Samsung schedules Feb 24th Unpacked 5 event, Galaxy S5 all but certain to make an appearance Posted: 03 Feb 2014 04:33 PM PST It’s happening! A few moments ago, Samsung delivered an invite for a Feb 24th event titled “Unpacked 5″. Coinciding with Mobile World Congress (in which we will be in attendance), we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves here, but we think it’s fairly obvious the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be the main attraction. Festivities kick off in Barcelona, Spain, with a live stream of the event taking place over on YouTube.com/SamsungMobile at 11AM PST. So, mark your calendars and be on the look out for Phandroid’s own hands-on coverage of the event as it happens. HYPED. |
| Samsung Galaxy S5 rumor mill keeps on churning, this time along with alleged details of the iPhone 6 Posted: 03 Feb 2014 04:11 PM PST Galaxy S5 concept We know we’re only a few short weeks away from the Samsung Galaxy S5 becoming official. With an official announcement closing in fast, that means is already putting the finishing touches on the device, be it the packaging, and/or marketing materials. The phone is out there, we just haven’t seen it (yet). As one of the biggest devices of the year, we can’t help but wonder if Samsung will play it safe, making the S5 more of a refresh? Or will Samsung go “all out,” packing the device with the highest-of-end hardware in an effort to crush the competition before they can even get back up for another round. Today a Korean security research firm has allegedly obtained some “insider information” regarding the device, leaking details of both the Galaxy S5 and upcoming iPhone 6 in a single PDF. So, exactly how much seems legit and how much is BS? We’ll let you decide, but here are the rumored specs. Samsung Galaxy S5
While nothing here is looking too crazy, it does show Samsung’s willingness to compete in the numbers game (more is always better) when it comes to just about every hardware spec. We should point out there was no mention of fingerprint or retina scanners on the device, but we suppose extra hardware features could have been left out. It’s the leaked iPhone specs that really have us questioning the validity of this leak. According to the PDF, Apple is planning to launch an iPhone 6 in 2 sizes — 4.7 and 5.5-inch varieties — opting instead for IGZO display tech over the previous model’s LTPS. Other oddities included the device would run iOS 7.2 (not 8) and an expected release in the Q2 or Q3 of this year. So exactly what, if anything, should you do with this “leak”? Well, take it with the finest grain of salt like always. Curious to hear your expectations of the Galaxy S5. Does it line up with what is being reported here, or do you think Samsung should be focusing on hardware/software design more so than 2K displays? [OLED-Display.net | via PhoneArena] |
| What’s the best Android phone to buy as of February 2014? Posted: 03 Feb 2014 01:46 PM PST We’re in 2014, and a lot has changed in the Android landscape since the last time we ran down the best Android phones (as well as the best phones for all of last year, which you guys voted on!). Our list for February 2014 has changed quite a bit, with several new players entering the arena and entering our hearts. We’re going to take a look at the standings and see which smartphones deserve your money (and attention) more than any other. 5 – Motorola Moto XMotorola jumps back one spot since the last time we revisited this list. It has absolutely nothing to do with news that Google sold Motorola to Lenovo. Scout’s honor. It’s just that more impressive devices have started trickling into the market, and it’s increasingly tough to see the Moto X lasting much longer in the top 5. The phone has lasted this long thanks to a great bang for buck proposition, though, especially with Motorola giving us some sweet deals on its off-contract price every now and then (the phone has gotten as cheap as $350 a couple of different times). The reserved spec sheet might not look sweet up against other phones with its 720p display and a dual-core processor. Still, the phone runs like a champ, it has some very useful software features, and, well, it has KitKat already. 4 – Nexus 5 by LGPure Android and price alone are no longer enough to give the Nexus 5 an automatic number one spot on our list. They held that spot for quite some time, but improved user experiences alongside stellar specs from other devices have made us loosen our grip on love. You still can’t beat the Nexus 5 when it comes to price/performance ratio, but we’re still a bit sour about several facets of the overall user experience. Namely, battery life, unimpressive sound and a camera that’s only slightly above average (even after the camera-fixing update) are all pretty big negative points. It still isn’t enough to keep the Nexus 5 out of the top 5, though, and you definitely should seriously consider making this your next smartphone if you’re in the market. 3 – LG G2The LG G2 is still a fascinating device. While the G Flex might currently be the talk of the town thanks to its willingness to bend without breaking, it doesn’t quite have the same “oomph” that the G2 still provides. LG’s software isn’t the most thrilling to behold, but it’s gotten clean and useful enough that it doesn’t do much to hurt the overall Android experience. In fact, Q-Slide has grown on us a tad, and the lightweight coat of paint makes for a device that doesn’t feel any more bloaty than the next guy. 2 – Sony Xperia Z1sThe Sony Xperia Z1s, sold exclusively by T-Mobile here in the United States, almost literally charmed the pants off of us. No, really, it makes us want to take our pants off and jump into a swimming pool with it (it being waterproof and all). But waterproof circuitry isn’t what impresses us. The overall beauty of the Z1s combined with an impressive spec sheet and Sony’s soothing user experience all come together to make this a phone worth keeping an eye on. Take a look:
And if that isn’t doing anything for you, perhaps our hands-on time with the device will. 1 – Samsung Galaxy Note 3We’ve been a bit down on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 the past few months, but our qualms were rather overstated. In truth, this device deserves to be number one right now. There aren’t many other devices out giving us 3GB of RAM, USB 3.0, advanced Wacom-enabled stylus technology, and more. Wait, I take that back. There aren’t any other devices giving us all of that in the same package right now. That’s not to say we don’t think the Note 3 deserves some criticism. Samsung could get a move on cleaning up one of the most undesirable user interfaces in mobile. But when it comes down to it, TouchWiz isn’t so bad that we would steer clear of the Note 3 when it comes time to pull the trigger on a new device purchase. Runner-ups:
Phones to look forward toThese phones aren't available yet, but we know they're on their way and we know we're anticipating them a great deal. We fell in love with this phone for one very good reason: there simply aren’t enough Android phones at this size with the beast-like specs it has. We’re talking about a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 720p resolution, a 20.7 megapixel camera and more inside a phone that’s just 4.3 inches in size. Now that’s what you call a powerful “mini” smartphone. Too often do we assume smaller phones are weaker, so it’s refreshing to get a phone that goes against every stereotype in the book. Let’s just hope one of these carriers have the sense of a dull doorknob to launch it at some point in the near future. Hands-on is right here. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo On paper, this thing almost reads just like a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, so why did Samsung feel the need to make the Note 3 Neo? Well, it’ll come in at a cheaper price point than the Note 3, yet stands to offer the same user experience that the Note 3 provides in terms of advanced S Pen features. The hexacore processor configuration and advanced LTE radios also give Samsung good reason to release a device that doesn’t offer much else over what’s already out in the market. Rumor MillThese phones aren’t yet official, but it can’t hurt to get excited about what could be. These rumored devices have our interests piqued, and for good reason. Take a gander! Said to be the successor to the HTC One, the HTC M8 is expected to best that smartphone in every way. A large 5.0-inch 1080p display, a Snapdragon 805 processor, 2GB of RAM and more are expected to bring a solid sequel to HTC’s best phone yet.  Concept Render The phone is also said to be coming with a fingerprint scanner, and will be the first HTC phone to ditch hardware buttons in favor of software buttons. HTC is expected to make the announcement late February (let’s just say you should keep an eye out on Mobile World Congress) so we’ll be looking on with sheer excitement. The Samsung Galaxy S5 will be a major addition in this long-running series. Whereas many folks thought the jump from the Galaxy S3 to the Galaxy S4 was quite uneventful, we’re expecting Samsung to pull out all the stops for the Galaxy S5. They’ll likely do that with a beefier processor first and foremost, but we could be seeing a lot of the same goodies that the Note 3 enjoyed, such as 3GB of RAM and USB 3.0. Rumors are also going around that Samsung will look to follow the fingerprint scanner trend, but the jury is still out on that. We expect to hear more this March at a dedicated launch event. Nokia Normandy / Nokia X A Nokia Android phone? No, really. This is happening. Said to be part of the Asha lineup, the Nokia Normandy (also known as the Nokia X) will be the company’s first Android handset. Don’t expect anything that’s going to blow the industry away, though — this thing is specced out to be an affordable entry-level handset for developing markets. If a 4-inch WVGA display, 512MB of RAM and more don’t do enough to tell you that, then I don’t know what will. It’s pretty obvious that Microsoft-owned Nokia won’t want to make an Android-based product that outshines anything from their Windows-based Lumia line. Nokia is said to be employing a heavily skinned version of Android that might not even have access to the Google Play Store or Google Apps. We’ll have to wait until March at the earliest, with a possible announcement being prepped for Mobile World Congress later this month. Amazon’s Best SellersThese phones are selling like hot cakes on Amazon. Note that these aren't necessarily Amazon's true best-sellers, but best sellers out of the ones we haven't already mentioned. Take a look and see if some of these other hot phones are worth your time and money:
What say you?So that’s how the first roundup for 2014 lays. Some interesting shakeups have kicked the new year off, and there’s only more to be made once these companies start trotting out their first-half flagships in the weeks and months to come. Let us know your thoughts (don’t worry, we can take any lashing you may dish at us if you disagree with this list) in the comments section below. We’d love to hear how your list would look! |
| Samsung Galaxy Note Pro now available for pre-order for $850, ships Feb 13th [UPDATE: Tab Pro too] Posted: 03 Feb 2014 12:57 PM PST Let’s be real, when Samsung announced that they’d be launching an uncompromising, super premium tablet line packed to the brim with as many high-end specs as they could throw at it, the one word they never used to describe them was “affordable.” Beginning today, at least one model is now available for pre-order from Office Depot: the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro. The tablet begins shipping on Feb. 13th (lining up with our tip that they’d be launching in time for Valentine’s Day) for the whopping price of $850. Before you flip, here’s the premium hardware included in the pricing… The Samsung Galaxy Note Pro comes equipped with the Note-lines trademark S Pen and a huge 12.2-inch 2560×1600 display, Exynos octa-core processor, 64GB of internal storage and micro SD card slot, 3GB of RAM, 8MP rear/2MP front facing cameras, 9,500mAh battery, and powered by Android 4.4 KitKat. UPDATE: It looks like the regular Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 is also up for pre-order (thanks, Raitchison!). The Tab Pro packs the same specs as the Note Pro, only manages to do away with the S Pen for a $200 discount. At $650, that’s not a bad deal for those that don’t mind using their finger the old fashioned way when messing with their tab. Don’t forget, we got up close and personal with these very same tablets during last month’s CES, in case you need a little refresher before pulling the trigger. Hands-on video, followed by pre-order links, can be found below.

| Sprint push-to-talk (Direct Connect) comes to more Android phones Posted: 03 Feb 2014 12:23 PM PST Chirp chirp! Do people still do that anymore? No? Well, just in case you do, you’ll be happy to know that Sprint’s bringing Direct Connect functionality to a handful of new Android devices, which also includes the ability to use push-to-talk with other users of these handsets. Here’s the list of new phones with Direct Connect:
Sprint is also expecting to make it available on the Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy S4 w/ Spark and Galaxy Mega sometime soon. Direct Connect operates over Sprint’s 4G LTE network, and is a permanent replacement to the now-retired iDEN that Sprint set to rest quite a while ago. Here are all the benefits that this new 4G-powered standard provides:
Sound good? Sprint reminds us that most of their service plans include Direct Connect at no additional cost, though those on some plans will have to cough up about $5 per month. Not a bad deal if you’re into this sort of thing. Give it a whirl in the Google Play Store. |
| Pebble appstore goes live for iOS, Android users left wanting (for now) Posted: 03 Feb 2014 11:59 AM PST After announcing the upcoming launch of their app store for the Pebble smartwatch back during CES, today, the wearable manufacture is finally making good on that promise. Starting right now, Pebble wearers can browse through over 1,000 apps and watchfaces, spanning across 6 categories: Daily, Tools & Utilities, Notifications, Remotes, Fitness, and Games. Unfortunately for Android users, it look like appstore is iOS-only for now. Don’t worry, Pebble mentioned that an update to their Android app would be hitting the Play Store “very, very soon.” As a new Pebbler myself, it looks like I jumped on the wearable at just the right time. |
| Chromecast SDK is finally open to developers, expect greater app compatibility in the near future Posted: 03 Feb 2014 11:03 AM PST It’s been nearly 6 months since Google’s Chromecast officially became available for purchase, and it’s only now regular ‘ol developers are finally allowed to take advantage of the SDK. Up until now, we’ve watched as developers like Koush — creator of the AllCast app for Android — had to reverse engineer his way into building apps with Chromecast support. Today, this is no longer needed as developers now have the tools they need to get on their apps up and running with Chromecast. Great news for developers, and even better news for users as currently, there’s only a handful of apps offering Chromecast support. With Google Play services 4.2 also available worldwide for Android devices starting today, there’s no excuse for your favorite apps to begin integrating Chromecast functionality. Crunchyroll, you guys listening? |
| Google Now notifications graduate from Chrome Canary to Beta Posted: 03 Feb 2014 11:02 AM PST It wasn’t that long ago that Google brought Google Now notifications to the Google Chrome Canary build, which is more like an “alpha” in traditional terms. The feature required users to explicitly enable it using flags. It seems to be ready to go for the more stable and more popular beta channel. What’s more is that the feature is enabled by default in the latest build. To use it, all you have to do is make sure you’re signed in using the same Google account you use on your Android or iOS device. From there, you’ll be served automatic notifications about what Google thinks is important to you on Mac, Windows and Chrome OS computers. Neato! Google has more details about Google Now on Chrome in their help FAQ. Of particular interest is location settings between multiple devices. Google tells you all you need to know about maintaining separate location information for all your devices if you don’t want to do it based on your phone’s location data, so be sure to give it a read if you’re interested. Otherwise, grab the latest build in the beta channel and go nuts. Should all go well, we should be seeing this hit stable status before too long. PS: English is the only language available right now, but Google is working to add more in future updates. [via Google] |
| Who would replace Android chief Sundar Pichai if he leaves for Microsoft’s CEO position? Posted: 03 Feb 2014 08:12 AM PST In case you haven’t heard, Microsoft is undergoing a pretty exhaustive CEO search after former CEO Steve Ballmer stepped down. It’s been a fierce process thus far, with Microsoft VP of cloud and enterprise Satya Nadella said to be in the running for taking the spot. But recent rumors suggest he might have a bit of competition. New reports out of Silicon Angle suggest Sundar Pichai has risen as Microsoft’s top external candidate, and that Microsoft has reached out to begin talks about possibly bringing him on to lead the Washington-based company. Pichai is Google’s long-time head of Chrome development, and recently took the reigns of the Android team after the godfather of Android Andy Rubin decided to step down and work on other things within Google. It’s not surprising to learn that Microsoft is strongly considering the services of Pichai. The company is in full attack mode on a devices strategy that they hope will keep Microsoft near the top of the tech world for years to come. While Microsoft has already adapted to industry changes as smoothly as you could ask of them, someone like Sundar Pichai could be the X-factor they need to take things to the next level up against Google and Apple. Pichai’s expertise in mobile and web make him a very dynamic candidate that could position Microsoft to step their game up in all phases of the technology world. And that’s where we are. If Sundar Pichai really is a candidate for Microsoft’s CEO position, there’s a very real chance he could leave. That move would have major implications for Google as the company would then need to find someone to head up both the Chrome and Android teams (as well as various other responsibilities Pichai commanded). So who could that be? One might say Matias Duarte — ex Palm designer and Android’s director of user experience and design — might be the next best guy for that gig. Matias Duarte has been instrumental in transforming Android into the beauty that it is today.
Everything about the Android user experience post-Gingerbread is thanks to Duarte’s services. His work on the Palm Pre and webOS don’t go unnoticed either, with many folks still considering that platform one of the best there ever was in terms of design and user experience. Standing in Duarte’s way, though, is his slant toward design and user experience rather than engineering. Being able to oversee both Chrome and Android would probably require a slight degree of software engineering background, though there’s no reason to suggest Duarte couldn’t appoint someone to a directorial position similar to the one he currently holds. There’s a real chance Google could also go back to splitting responsibilities of chieftain up and find someone more capable of handling the Chrome business while Duarte focuses on mobile. Aside from that, it would be up in the air. We’ll have to wait and see what happens before looking too far into the future, as there’s just as much of a chance that Pichai could stay with Google for the long run. Microsoft is expected to make their decision and announcement shortly, as the company won’t want to drag their feet in a time where their devices business (including Xbox and Windows Phone / tablets) has real room for significant growth. |
| Forthcoming version of Android could make ART the default runtime over Dalvik Posted: 03 Feb 2014 06:58 AM PST Since its conception, Android apps have largely been run in the Dalvik runtime, which features just-in-time compilation instructions that allow app resources to be compiled and run on the fly. Starting with Android 4.4 KitKat, Google began testing a new Android Runtime (dubbed ART) that features ahead-of-time compilation which translates all of the app’s bytecode to machine language at the time of the first installation. The benefits of ART are supposed to be faster app performance (no need to compile at each startup) and potentially better battery life (less compilation instructions = less CPU time = less battery drain). Google introduced it as an experimental feature for developers and to gain early feedback, but we could be close to seeing it enabled as the default runtime in an upcoming version of Android. An Android code commit at Google’s git foretells a change that would make ART the preferred option while still maintaining Dalvik as a secondary option for those finding it hard to say goodbye. It was always Google’s intention to replace Dalvik, though the earlier years of Android forced their hand in putting up with what is generally seen as a less efficient process. Devices back in the early days had very limited RAM and storage, and less capable CPUs, and the Dalvik runtime’s “only compile what you need” architecture made it perfect for those devices as it kept the memory footprint to a minimum. But entry-level devices of today don’t go much lower than 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage, and they use very capable processors compared to the same class of devices just a few years ago. With Google optimizing Android 4.4 KitKat to make it perform great on these entry-level devices, they can finally use this more traditional compilation engine without worry that someone’s phone isn’t up to par. The jury is still out on ART and its benefits. Some users have reported that ART doesn’t show any glaring performance improvements, and some even profess that battery life savings are minimal in some cases and worse in others. We can’t take any of that to mean anything this early on, though, as many developers and OEMs are still adapting their apps to work properly with the new runtime. Still, this source commit serves to tell us that Google feels ART is almost ready for prime time, and we’ll have to see if any new changes they’ve made since introducing it in the initial Android 4.4 KitKat release will do anything to significantly impact application and device performance.

| Here’s a look at what HTC M8′s on-screen buttons could look like Posted: 03 Feb 2014 05:53 AM PST It’s long been rumored that the HTC M8, AKA the sequel to 2013′s HTC One, will be ditching hardware capacitive buttons in favor of on-screen ones. While we had no problem using our imagination to figure out what the simple configuration would look like, we may have gotten our first look at an actual design. As you can see from the image above — where the M8′s supposed on-screen buttons are compared to the HTC One X and HTC One — the M8′s virtual buttons take after the design of the hardware buttons almost to a T. The only exception is the back button, which has a curved arrow pointing to the left rather than the “less than” symbol HTC has used in previous iterations of their smartphones. While on-screen buttons may seem rather uncomplicated at the user level, it does impose fairly uncertain complications for HTC’s overall software package. On-screen buttons would do away with the need for an ugly, context-sensitive menu bar in apps which don’t implement overflow menus for settings, though that row will now be permanently and prominently displayed throughout the entire experience (except in cases where the device is in full-screen mode, such as during video playback or games). At the end of the day, it’s still eating up screen real estate, and there are bound to be some folks who aren’t happy about that. For what it’s worth, those with phones such as the LG G2 and the Moto X haven’t had many complains with the on-screen buttons. It’s particularly telling for the latter phone, which employs 720p resolution at a screen size of just 4.7 inches. Here’s a leaked spec sheet for the phone:
It sounds like the buttons wouldn’t take up a large amount of space on that display, but that’s yet to be determined. Concept Render We’d need to see and use the phone for ourselves to give final judgment, but it shouldn’t take long for that to happen. HTC is expected to reveal the HTC M8 later this month, presumably at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress. We’ll definitely be sure to revisit this matter once that announcement is made.

| Holofication Nation aims to bring fresh coat of #holoyolo paint to stale apps Posted: 03 Feb 2014 05:22 AM PST Google has done a great job getting developers to adopt new design guidelines without a mandate (here’s looking at you, Apple), but not every developer has been able to adapt as quickly. It’s not easy for a user to go from a collection of great Holo or Holo-esque apps, and then revert back to the pre-4.0 days for the odd app that decides to stay stuck in that past. For those apps, Holofication Nation aims to rectify all of that. Holofication Nation is a community consisting of (as of the time of this writing) over 750 members, and their mission is to transform some of the community’s favorite apps with legacy design into something that looks like it was crafted in in the past couple of years. The project is quite small right now, with the team only having about 4 apps on tap. That said, the team says their most important goal beside upgrading visual flair is to make sure there are no damning bugs sprawling about. That extra care means extra time must be taken on each app, so things are slow going for the time being. Here’s the quick list of early apps:
And much of that was thanks to the work of just two people so far (Connor Kirkby and Brandon D’Souza). We imagine the large Google+ community is also to thank, as they make suggestions and provide feedback to help shape the direction of the Holofication Nation. The team is looking to take things a step further by courting a developer to make an official app to highlight these Holo-fied apps, though they stress that the position is unpaid.     Note that you have to uninstall previous versions of apps before installing these new apps, but that’s the only requirement — no root, no mods, no nothing. Head to the XDA thread here for the current downloads, and be sure to request to join the community on Google+ right here. |
| AT&T’s new family plans give you 10GB of data and all you can eat talk/text starting at $130 Posted: 03 Feb 2014 04:51 AM PST AT&T has introduced a new family plan option for both new and existing customers, as well as customers willing to port their lines over from Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. The plans are very simple: users get unlimited talk and text, and the entire family shares a pool of 10GB of data. The plans get more expensive by $15 for each line of service you have. Here’s a quick breakdown of where their prices now stand:
AT&T says existing customers can save $40 to $100 compared to their own plans, while new customers from, say, Verizon would be saving about $100 over comparable plans. While we wish AT&T would bring back unlimited data, we can’t say this is a bad deal at all considering how much of a premium data is going for these days. AT&T did mention that there were higher buckets of data to choose from, but we’re still waiting on word about prices and tiers. There is one caveat to consider for families switching from other carriers: you’ll need to either buy smartphones on AT&T Next, buy one at full price or bring your own to take advantage. That said, don’t forget that you can get a $100 bill credit for each new line of service you add until March 31st (which might be a nice little incentive to take advantage of these new plans sooner rather than later).
