Today's Amazon Gold Box Has V-MODA Crossfade LP Headphones Down To $70 From $200 (65% Off) [Update: It's Gone]

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_image_thumb10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="228" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_image_thumb10.png" style="display: inline;" title="image" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Anyone who's shopped with <a class="external" href="http://www.amazon.com/?tag=androidpolice-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Amazon">Amazon</a> for a while should know that occasionally the site has some really appealing deals offered through its Gold Box page. Today, that deal is good for 65% off a pair of V-MODA Crossfade LP Over-Ear Noise-Isolating metal headphones. We saw these in the Gold Box just a few months ago for $74.99, but today's deal brings them all the way down to $69.99 from their normal $199.99 price on Amazon.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> If you're in the market for high quality headphones to go with your favorite Android device, these are still a great option. V-MODA touts the ruggedness of the headphones with their Immortal Life program, offering a 50% discount on replacements if the headphones happen to somehow break. If you aren't convinced they're durable by the manufacturer's promise, they've got a Kevlar-reinforced cable with a three button remote, and the headphones available from the Gold Box have metal body elements.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Those interested in buying have five style choices, though interchangeable plates can be used to switch things up later. The options are Nero (purple accents and reptile skin), White Pearl, Gunmetal Black, and Phantom Chrome. The Rouge color is also available, but will cost a little more at $89.00.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="71UzWeEjvbL._SL1500_" height="160" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_71UzWeEjvbL._SL1500__thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="71UzWeEjvbL._SL1500_" width="160" /> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="71sTtSuCFHL._SL1500_"><img alt="71sTtSuCFHL._SL1500_" height="160" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_71sTtSuCFHL._SL1500__thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="71sTtSuCFHL._SL1500_" width="160" /></a> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="71JkDA5Pm L._SL1500_"><img alt="71JkDA5Pm L._SL1500_" height="160" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_71JkDA5PmL._SL1500__thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="71JkDA5Pm L._SL1500_" width="160" /></a> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="71iheBuXtpL._SL1500_"><img alt="71iheBuXtpL._SL1500_" height="160" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_71iheBuXtpL._SL1500__thumb.jpg" style="display: inline; margin: 0px;" title="71iheBuXtpL._SL1500_" width="160" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Here are a few of the things to which V-MODA attributes the Crossfade LPs' quality:</div> <div class="fancy_blockquote" style="text-align: center;"> <blockquote> <strong>Crossfade LP's superior sound is created by:</strong> <br /> <ul> <li><strong>50mm Dual-Diaphragm Driver (Patent Pending):</strong> Inner and outer rings separate the bass from bleeding into the mids and highs </li> <li><strong>Master Crafted Materials:</strong> More expensive driver and components than peer headphones at this price range </li> <li><strong>Musician + DJ Collaboration:</strong> Over 50 legendary musicians and DJs collaborated on the sound, durability and features of Crossfade </li> <li><strong>Analog Noise Isolation: </strong>Naturally cut out the distractions of jet engines, crying babies and crowd noise </li> <li><strong>No Batteries or Artificial Processing:</strong> Powerful, pure sound without the two extra digital-to-analog conversions of battery powered headphones that pollute the purity of your music </li> <li><strong>Minimal sound leakage:</strong> Immersive sound for you without bothering others <a class="external" href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/aplus/detail-page/LP_popup_3d_airflow_large.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">view details</a> </li> <li><strong>Consistent Driver Quality:</strong> The spectacular sound is quality tested at 6 frequencies to maintain stricter consistency than the competition, often by an order of magnitude</li> </ul> </blockquote> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> If you've got $70 and want to get a nice set of headphones for a bargain, just hit the link below. Since it's a Gold Box deal, these headphones will only be available until midnight or when supplies run out.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <strong>Update:</strong> Amazon has updated the Gold Box deal as "currently unavailable." It isn't clear whether it will be back before the midnight deadline, but our money's on no. Hopefully everyone who wanted to grab a pair got a chance. If not, the Gunmetal, Pearl White, and Phantom Chrome colors are available from other sellers on Amazon for around $65.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em><a class="external" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/ref=gbsl_tit_l-1_4142_552841d0?tag=androidpolice-20&node=8112187011&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=left-new-1&pf_rd_r=0VW7F8PSZJH8PPR5RXKK&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1671394142" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon</a></em></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="pvc_count_me216092"></span></div> <div class="multi_page_links" style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="post_tags" style="text-align: left;"> Tags:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">amazon</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">deal</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">gold box</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">headphones</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">isolation</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">noise</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">over-ear</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">v-moda</a> </div> </div>

Motorola Active Display Latest Stock App To Enter The Play Store, Moto X-Exclusive For Now

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="post_thumb"> <div class="post_thumb_clean"> </div> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_Display-Thumb_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Display-Thumb" border="0" height="150" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_Display-Thumb_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="Display-Thumb" width="150" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> One of the Moto X's defining features is Active Display, which lights up the phones screen to display notifications such as messages, missed calls, and the like. That functionality is now the latest Motorola feature to enter the Play Store, where it's easier for the Google-owned company to distribute timely updates and fixes. Speaking of which, the version to land in the Play Store <a class="external" href="https://plus.google.com/+PunitSoni/posts/ehvk98kBQWL" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">should remove</a> the 1 - 2 second delay some users started encountering when swiping to unlock following the KitKat update. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Display1" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_Display1_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="Display1" width="223" /> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="Display2"><img alt="Display2" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_Display2_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="Display2" width="224" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Active Display is just the latest in a series of apps Motorola has dropped into the Play Store, all of which still remain exclusive to the devices they shipped on. Earlier apps include Touchless Control, the Moto X's camera app, the Moto G's FM radio, Motorola Assist, And Motorola Connect.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Though Active Display is available for the Moto X and Verizon's DROIDs, this version requires Android 4.4 to run. So for the time being, that means only Moto X owners have access to the update below.</div> <div class="pb-app-box" data-lang="en" data-theme="discover" data-title="Active Display" id="pb_app_box_0" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="pb-app-widget-discover "> <div class="pb-app-widget-table"> <div class="pb-wd-icon"> <img alt="Motorola Active Display" src="http://d2lh3rxs7crswz.cloudfront.net/com.motorola.aon.png" /></div> <div class="pb-wd-controls"> <div class="pb-wd-data-title "> Motorola Active Display</div> <div class="pb-wd-data-ratings"> <span class="pb-wd-rating-45">1,864 ratings</span></div> <div class="pb-wd-data-sup-info"> by <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Motorola+Mobility+LLC." target="blank">Motorola Mobility LLC.</a><br />100,000 - 500,000 downloads</div>  <div class="pb-wd-controls-inst "> <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.aon&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3DPlayboard%26utm_medium%3DWidgetWeb%26utm_campaign%3DPlayboard" target="_blank">Install (FREE)</a></div> </div> <div class="pb-wd-footer">  </div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="pvc_count_me216160"></span></div> <div class="multi_page_links" style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="post_tags" style="text-align: left;"> Tags:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">active display</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">Moto X</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">Motorola</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">notifications</a> </div> </div>

ZeroLemon's Rugged Galaxy Note 3 Case With 10,000mAh Battery And NFC Is Finally Available For $59.99

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_33_thumb1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="33" border="0" height="320" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_33_thumb1.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="33" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is already a great big phone, but the ZeroLemon battery case for the Note 3 is finally here to make it even bigger. This rugged case packs a humungous 10,000mAh battery with NFC support. It also makes the phone into kind of a hideous brick, but that's the price you pay for insane battery life. </div> <div style="text-align: center;">  <img alt="22" height="320" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_22_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="22" width="320" /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> The case should be compatible with all versions of the Note 3 with standard or extended batteries already installed. The case is thick, which blocks the NFC in the regular battery from working. However, this case has its own NFC chip to restore that functionality. It also comes with a neat kickstand attachment. That's good seeing as this thing is going to be pretty heavy and you'll want to set it down a lot. The case has its own fitted screen protector, but you can also use a different one or none at all. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="11" height="259" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_11_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="11" width="259" /> <img alt="45" height="211" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_45_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="45" width="320" /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> The <a class="external" href="http://www.amazon.com/?tag=androidpolice-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Amazon">Amazon</a> listing has been live for a while, but stock was essentially nonexistent.

Winners Of KitKat's Nexus Promo In India Are Getting 2012 Nexus 7 Tablets Instead Of The 2013 Model Like Everyone Else

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_kitkat-nexus-7-contest-india_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="kitkat nexus 7 contest india" border="0" height="246" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_kitkat-nexus-7-contest-india_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="kitkat nexus 7 contest india" width="400" /> </a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Android fans in India were happy to be included in KitKat's international Android 4.4 promotion and have the chance to get their hands on the 2013 Nexus 7. However, the prizes being sent out are not exactly as advertised. Instead of receiving the 2013 Nexus 7, winners in India are getting the old 2012 model. A multinational corporation not living up to its end of the deal? Surely you jest. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Winners of the Nexus 7 tablets in every other country were given the new Nexus 7, and those prizes mostly shipped out weeks ago. Only after a long delay did Indian winners get the brush-off with an old tablet. Several Indian sites have <a class="external" href="http://www.comboupdates.com/2013/12/cheated-by-nestle-and-google-ditches-on.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pulled together</a> all the promotional materials used by KitKat India, indicating winners were promised "<a class="external" href="http://tech2yantra.blogspot.in/2013/12/kitkat-nexus-7-winners-in-india-cheated.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the all new Nexus 7 tablet</a>." All the images were also of the 2013 model. There's also a <a class="external" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/584683644914735/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook group</a> collecting user experiences. You can check all of that out for yourself, but suffice it to say this is at the very least disingenuous. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Nexus 7 winning letter" height="306" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_Nexus-7-winning-letter_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="Nexus 7 winning letter" width="408" /> <img alt="Nexus 7 2012" height="306" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_Nexus-7-2012_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="Nexus 7 2012" width="229" /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Indian users have been contacting KitKat, which has been hesitant to respond. The KitKat India Twitter account has also tried to calm the storm with a pretty lame excuse, as seen below. You can certainly make the argument that it's a <em>free</em> tablet and folks shouldn't complain, but this is pretty clearly not what the contest promised. Just ask yourself, would KitKat have tried to get away with this in the US? Of course not. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em>[<a class="external" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/584683644914735/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook Group</a>, <a class="external" href="http://www.comboupdates.com/2013/12/cheated-by-nestle-and-google-ditches-on.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ComboUpdates</a>, <a class="external" href="http://tech2yantra.blogspot.in/2013/12/kitkat-nexus-7-winners-in-india-cheated.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tech2yantra</a>  – Thanks, Patanjali and everyone else]</em></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="pvc_count_me216106"></span></div> <div class="multi_page_links" style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="post_tags" style="text-align: left;"> Tags:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">2013 nexus 7</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">android 4.4</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">nexus 7</a> </div> </div>

Google Engineer Unifies The Menu And Overflow Buttons In KitKat, Makes Monty Python Jokes

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_buttonsmang2_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="buttonsmang2" border="0" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_buttonsmang2_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="buttonsmang2" width="241" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> The physical Menu button is an interesting holdout from an earlier age of Android. While Google's devices and those manufacturers that roughly follow Google's guidelines (like Motorola and LG) don't use it, Samsung and a few others do, leaving app developers in a tight spot when it comes to implementing an overflow button. Today <a class="external" href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1sghyd/kitkatgoogle_wants_to_kill_the_menu_button_always" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">a Reddit user</a> found this change to the Action Bar Policy file for KitKat <a class="external" href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/+/ea04f3cfc6e245fb415fd352ed0048cd940a46fe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in Google's Git repository</a>. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> The gist is that now API-compliant apps will <em>always </em>show the overflow menu button on the action bar at the top of a Holo app, rather than having it appear or disappear depending on whether or not your phone (or tablet, <em>SAMSUNG</em>) has a physical menu key. It's a small change, but it means that the user interface for apps that use the overflow menu button will remain constant across devices rather than shifting based on physical parameters. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Google engineer Adam Powell placed this comment on the change in Git. Because why the Hell not? </div> <div class="fancy_blockquote" style="text-align: center;"> <blockquote> <pre>Always show overflow buttons on action bars The menu button is not pining, it's passed on! This button is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to a flagship device it'd be pushing up the daisies! <a class="external" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS IS AN EX-BUTTON!!</a></pre> </blockquote> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> This change should only affect phones or tablets that have been upgraded to KitKat, so at the moment I think only the Google Play Edition devices will see it. Maybe this will finally convince certain manufactures (still looking at you, Samsung) to abandon the hardware menu button. But probably not. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em>Source: <a class="external" href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/+/ea04f3cfc6e245fb415fd352ed0048cd940a46fe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GoogleSource.com</a> via <a class="external" href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1sghyd/kitkatgoogle_wants_to_kill_the_menu_button_always" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Reddit</a></em></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="pvc_count_me216188"></span></div> <div class="multi_page_links" style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="post_tags" style="text-align: left;"> Tags:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">action bar</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">kitkat</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">looking at you Samsung</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">menu</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">menu button</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">user interface</a> </div> </div>

AT&T Customers Can Now Enjoy 4G LTE Roaming In Canada Thanks To New Agreement With Rogers

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_DataPlan_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="DataPlan" border="0" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_DataPlan_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="DataPlan" width="301" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Today AT&T announced an agreement with Canadian wireless carrier Rogers that will enable its customers to have access to 4G LTE data speeds even when on the northern side of the border. This arrangement makes AT&T the first American carrier to offer international LTE roaming, but before some of you get too excited, know that this luxury still doesn't come cheaply. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> AT&T customers can roam internationally by selecting a <a class="external" href="http://www.att.com/att/global/affordable-world-packages/?data" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Data Global Add-On</a> package, the same ones needed to access 3G. These offer 120MB of data for $30 a month, 300MB for $60 a month, or 800MB for $120 a month. Without a package, you're looking at paying $15.36 per megabyte.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> With such limits, accessing 4G LTE instead of 3G is nearly more of a curse than a blessing, as you will simply be able to blow past your data cap more quickly. It would likely still be cheaper to buy a local SIM card and use that for the duration of your stay.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> But hey, international roaming is convenient, and there are surely reasons to want to avoid picking up a new line just to leave the country. You just might want to rely on something other than your phone for browsing the web while you're there.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em>Source: <a class="external" href="http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=25149&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=37333" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AT&T</a></em></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="pvc_count_me216202"></span></div> <div class="multi_page_links" style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="post_tags" style="text-align: left;"> Tags:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">4g LTE</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">AT&T</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">canada</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">international roaming</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">roaming</a> </div> </div>

T-Mobile's Galaxy Note II Finally Gets Its Android 4.3 And Galaxy Gear OTA Update

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_aragy3y9_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="aragy3y9" border="0" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_aragy3y9_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="aragy3y9" width="225" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> T-Mobile customers with the Galaxy Note II, your day has finally arrived: the Jelly Bean 4.3 over-the-air update is finally rolling out, <a class="external" href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561794" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">according to this XDA thread</a>. Samsung's Galaxy S4, S III, and the Note II have been getting the same update on other American carriers, but T-Mobile is behind the leaked release schedule (though not by much). The Note II is the last Samsung phone on T-Mobile scheduled to get the update, at least for the moment. </div> <div style="text-align: center;">  <img alt="note2" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_note2_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="note2" width="225" /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em>Screenshot credits: </em><a class="external" href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48301004&postcount=31" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>ardcifliku</em></a><em>, </em><a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/slimatic/status/410069417125761024" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="https://twitter.com/slimatic/status/410069417125761024"><em>@limatic</em></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> In addition to compatibility with Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch, the update should add all the Android 4.3 features you've been craving, plus some new TouchWiz goodies and a few visual changes to keep the interface in line with the newer Galaxy Note 3. The update is reportedly available via the usual channels: either activated by an OTA prompt, a manual refresh in the settings, or downloaded and installed via Samsung's Kies software. Keep in mind that the OTA update is probably being sent out in waves, and it may be a few days before it gets to you.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> The update is an impressive 615 megabytes, so you might want to connect to a WiFi hotspot for speed if nothing else. As usual, it will probably break root (or simply fail if you've got root or a custom recovery), so it's best to wait for a new root method on stock firmware if you rely on those apps. Now Samsung users can settle in for the long wait to Android 4.4.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em>Source: </em><a class="external" href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561794" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>XDA Developers</em></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em> </em><em> </em></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="pvc_count_me216215"></span></div> <div class="multi_page_links" style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="post_tags" style="text-align: left;"> Tags:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">Android 4.3</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">Galaxy Gear</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">galaxy note ii</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">jelly bean 4.3</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">ota</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">Samsung</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">SGH-T889</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">software update</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">T-Mobile</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">T889</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">T889UVUCMK7</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">UVUCMK7</a> </div> </div>

Latest Humble Weekly Sale Contains Two Android Games - NightSky And MANOS: The Hands Of Fate

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_WeeklySale_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="WeeklySale" border="0" height="342" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_WeeklySale_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="WeeklySale" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> This week's <a class="external" href="https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Humble Weekly Sale</a> isn't filled with Android games, but it contains two goodies that are arguably worth the price of admission alone - NightSky and MANOS: The Hands of Fate. The former is available in the Play Store for $4.99, and the latter, $2.49. But if you pay over six bucks for this week's bundle, you can get both games along with seven additional titles for your PC and the Multimedia Fusion 2 game development software. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="NightSky" height="195" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_NightSky_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="NightSky" width="329" /> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="MANOS"><img alt="MANOS" height="195" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_MANOS_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="MANOS" width="329" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Both of this week's Android games are side scrollers, though they take drastically different forms. NightSky chronicles the precarious yet soothing journey of a black ball through daunting physics-based puzzles. MANOS is more of a pixelated homage to a bygone era of both cinema and gaming, with visuals pixelated enough to make you long for the technological advancements introduced by the Super Nintendo.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a class="toc-anchor" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="nightsky"></a></div> <h2 style="text-align: center;"> NightSky</h2> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a class="toc-anchor" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="manos-the-hands-of-fate"></a></div> <h2 style="text-align: center;"> MANOS: The Hands of Fate</h2> <div style="text-align: center;"> Head over to the <a class="external" href="https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Humble Weekly site</a> to take advantage of this offer while it's still available, or if you're only interested in one title or the other, feel free to snag either by hitting up the widgets below.</div> <div class="pb-app-box" data-lang="en" data-theme="discover" data-title="NightSky" id="pb_app_box_0" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="pb-app-widget-discover "> <div class="pb-wd-controls"> <div class="pb-wd-icon"> <a href="http://playboard.me/android/apps/com.nicalis.nightsky?lang=en&ref_host=www.androidpolice.com" target="blank"><img alt="NightSky HD" src="http://d2lh3rxs7crswz.cloudfront.net/com.nicalis.nightsky.png" /></a></div> <div class="pb-wd-controls"> <div class="pb-wd-data-title "> <a href="http://playboard.me/android/apps/com.nicalis.nightsky?lang=en&ref_host=www.androidpolice.com" target="blank">NightSky HD</a></div> <div class="pb-wd-data-ratings"> <span class="pb-wd-rating-45">64 ratings</span></div> <div class="pb-wd-data-sup-info"> by <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Nicalis%2C+Inc." target="blank">Nicalis, Inc.</a><br />1,000 - 5,000 downloads</div>  <div class="pb-wd-controls-inst "> <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nicalis.nightsky&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3DPlayboard%26utm_medium%3DWidgetWeb%26utm_campaign%3DPlayboard" target="_blank">Install ($4.99)</a></div> </div>  <div class="pb-wd-controls-inst "> <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freakzone.manos&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3DPlayboard%26utm_medium%3DWidgetWeb%26utm_campaign%3DPlayboard" target="_blank">Install ($2.49)</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pb-app-box" data-lang="en" data-theme="discover" data-title="MANOS: The Hands of Fate" id="pb_app_box_1" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="pb-app-widget-discover "> <div class="pb-app-widget-table"> <div class="pb-wd-footer">  </div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em>Source: <a class="external" href="http://blog.humblebundle.com/post/69091447128/humble-weekly-sale-is-here-featuring-oddplanet-knytt" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">The Humble Mumble</a></em></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="pvc_count_me215783"></span></div> <div class="multi_page_links" style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="post_tags" style="text-align: left;"> Tags:<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">humble bundle</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag">humble weekly sale</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">manos</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="tag" title="">NightSky</a> </div> </div>

Amazon MP3 App Update Gives The UI Some Much-Needed Spit And Polish, Improved Speed, And Facebook Sharing

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-3_thumb3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="unnamed (3)" border="0" height="386" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-3_thumb3.png" style="display: inline; margin-top: 0px;" title="unnamed (3)" width="217" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> t's been nearly a year and a half since we last wrote about the <a class="external" href="http://www.amazon.com/?tag=androidpolice-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Amazon">Amazon</a> MP3 app, because that's the last time the company did anything interesting with it. Compared to the competition at Google and elsewhere, Amazon's iTunes competitor looks positively stale. Today the Amazon MP3 app gets a fresh coat of paint to bring it more in line with current visual trends, or at least, those trends that are on display in the Kindle Fire tablets. </div> <div style="text-align: center;">  <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="unnamed (4)"><img alt="unnamed (4)" height="386" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-4_thumb1.png" style="display: inline; margin: 0px;" title="unnamed (4)" width="217" /></a> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="unnamed (5)"><img alt="unnamed (5)" height="386" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-5_thumb3.png" style="display: inline; margin: 0px;" title="unnamed (5)" width="217" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <em>Below: Old and busted. Above: new hotness.</em></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="unnamed (3)" height="362" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-3_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (3)" width="217" /> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="unnamed (2)"><img alt="unnamed (2)" height="362" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-2_thumb1.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (2)" width="217" /></a> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="unnamed"><img alt="unnamed" height="362" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed_thumb2.jpg" style="display: inline; margin: 0px;" title="unnamed" width="217" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> I wouldn't say that the adjusted UI is great, but it's clean and functional, which should suit music fans just fine. The app is still split into music stored on Amazon's cloud service and locally on your device, with the same basic tabbed interface that lets you swipe across playlists, artists, albums, songs, et cetera. With the new simplified UI the tabs are really just highlighted words with the same gray-white-orange palette on display in most of Amazon's first-party Kindle Fire apps. The new integration with the MP3 store looks nice. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Amazon claims that the app is now "lightning fast," and indeed, it does feel considerably more snappy than the last time I tried it. You can also share your listening habits on Facebook, something that the Google Play Music app recently acquired.
