Downgrade Galaxy S3 (AT&T) Back to Stock Touchwiz 4.1.2 Without Unrooting You upgraded your Galaxy S3 to the Stock touchwiz 4.3 and now you hate your phone, I know just how to fix that. Assuming you are rooted (Due to the title) go to the Play Store and download a program called "Rom Manager" This will allow you to install Clockworkmod for your device. Once you flash the new recovery head over to the following link to obtain your 4.1.2 Stock Rom copy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388065 Once downloaded, restart your phone. Then open Rom Manager, and you can click "install custom rom" or just shut off your phone, Hold Volume Up + Home + Power all at the same time, till you get a tiny blue text "Booting into recovery" The navigation buttons are Volume up, and down, and power to select. First off you should start with a data wipe, and a Cache wipe, and a dalvik cache wipe. (VERY IMPORTANT!!!) Browse to your download ...

HTC wants to think through all the possible problems, and make this phone your entire life, but HTC has thought about ...

The God Phone: Samsung Galaxy S V Galaxy S 5 is said to be one of the most wondrous phones out there so far, but lets see it stand up against the  LG Flex.... Well actually, it most likely can. Since the Galaxy S, and the popular Galaxy S Captivate, Samsung Galaxy S Flagship has been in the number 1 spot especially for Android lovers. The Galaxy S5 is a pretty much souped up super duper Galaxy S4, just more features. I also actually like how they seem to have went back to the old style of the Soft and hard key, the look is tremendous. The Galaxy S3 had images showing how to on the phone, but the picture never looked anything like it, but the S2 did, and the S5 will revive that golden style. The phone is again Touchwiz based Samsung Android software, with a Whopping 2GB of RAM/Memory, and a 2.5Ghz Quad Core Processor (DANG!!!) That Processor can speak so many different languages, whether you're a Gamer, Casual phone user, or a nut that speaks to your phone, this pho...

Microsoft, Android phones? What The. The picture at the top is in no way the actual thing, but get this. Microsoft is designing their own version of our favorite free operating system for mobile devices. That's right. Android. :) The concept art above is obviously by someone else. I think Nokia finally came out and stood up to Microsoft, but what I've heard is it was actually Microsofts doing. They should really release an android version for all the Windows phones already out there, that would be good for those people to be able to move forward with their sad boring lives. Not to be "hating" on anyone (Who uses that word anymore? So 2009.), but Windows phone will never move up, ever. Windows phone 7 was great, windows phone 8, same thing, but there's no progress. Microsoft knows they fail in the phone business. They should make Windows phone more easier and able to run PC files, that'd change a lot of peoples minds I think, Lol. All in all. This...

Android 4.4 Kitkat Update Now on Nook If you're a tech savvy mofo like me, you know that deep under that stupid looking GUI that nook has on, is a birthday suit called ANDROID. Nook has now released the Kitkat Update for Nook, it took them LONG ENOUGH! I guess they had to dress it all up to look pretty, BUT SERIOUSLY IT MAKES YOU LOOK FAT. In my own opinion, any GUI Overlay on Android makes it look purely STUPID, and purely SLOW as a cow, walking to grandma's Christmas party. Unless of course you're the MIUI ROM Developers, then you can get away with it because that rom is off the hook for real. Why can't Nook and Kindle, and anyone else trying to make a silly wack lookin GUI learn from them huh? When I worked at Walmart I sold all the nooks half priced, because I knew the customer was getting ripped off to begin with, and deep down so did they. Actually it was half priced to begin with, I just like to tell myself that because it's the silliest looking A...

HTC One, US Carriers, to Receive 4.4 Kitkat Update! The HTC one, the ONE HIT WONDER Android Phone of 2013 will be receiving Android 4.4 Kitkat. This is great news because 4.4 is the newest Android Operating system version out there (for those of you who did not know) and so with Kitkat, this phone will be good as new again! The HTC One recently has gotten Sense 5, will this Kitkat rom be bare, or have Sense... 6?? Who knows. Exciting as that is, when all phones finally get 4.4, I'm sure Android will have something new out like 4.6 or 5.1 I don't know, they seem to move very fast, but at least you're able to get the Operating system upgrades via Cyanogenmod. HTC One has the Beats audio built in, and with root on your own device you're able to get ahold of the beats audio mod engine (How cool?) It would be really good to have an HTC One, with Stock Google Android, but I doubt HTC would let that happen through OTA updates (Over The Air) Android Guru Guy; Dayto...

HP to Debut Android Phone HP Hewlett Packard has seem to become Google Obsessed here lately, After the Chrome Book 11 Show off, Now being rumored is an Android Phone, which claims to be an affordable alternative to that of Samsung, Motorola, LG, and other Android driven companies. From what I hear so far, the name of the device is the Slate 8 Pro. If you follow HP, you know the Slate series is tablets, and touch screen computers. The Slate 7 Pro, Featured Beats Audio, and was a 7 inch Tablet. This is pretty exciting, HP in the Android World, They are also up against Samsung, and more interestingly up against long time rival Dell. Dell decided to work with Windows 8, and also have produced some Android Devices. There has not been much released on the specs so far, but hearing the word "Affordable" usually means its cut back, but we could be surprised like the Moto G! So, congrats HP, You're moving up finally, and away from just Windows. The Android Guru Gu...
