Lori hi I'm dare cross and welcome to android authority on air the original android hangout show on google+ i'm also joined with scott anderson king of the Harlem shake Joshua Vergara and Johnathan Franklin and Dan Charlton thank you guys for showing up this week on uh Harlem shake a new meme making its way around the interwebs the past week or so what is that isn't it that thing we just did oh I thought we just regularly dress up like um yeah so you know Google did one Facebook did one intel i guess i didn't see that of other companies are doing it you know everybody's doing it's all over the news first of all if you guys are watching or listening to this on soundcloud uh head over to youtube no check it out right us yeah if you want to see Scott Anderson in Valentine's Day red boxers in nothin all the way it was in the feedback you guys put it in the feedback I appreciate it yeah so head on over to uh youtube if you want to see Scott dressed like that alright so this week in the world of android version 4.2 point to start to roll out to nexus devices um we had some significant app updates just going to talk about a couple big ones here that they are popular apps and big changes coming to them some more rumors because now that's the time of year it is you know new phones coming now have rumors about new devices and a little bit of a routing and ramen news just because well we like to talk about rude and ramen so they said android 4.2 point2 began rolling out this week to nexus devices such as the oxy nexus the nexus 7 Wi-Fi and 3g Nexus 10 and Nexus 4's daughter going up to which one first started to roll out to the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 and gsm Galaxy Nexus first Nexus actually uh was about two days later yeah I wonder what everybody has now had as the updates roll out to them except for the redheaded stepchild except for the bastards of the group the Sprint and Verizon Galaxy Nexus the sprint version is now one update behind because it recently got four point two point one but the real bastard of the group the verizon galaxy nexus is now for updates behind official it's on 4.1 it's still 14 point 1.1 it never got four point one point to it never got four point two four point two point one in the noon yeah it's a I mean bad for a Nexus device for devices but I mean for updates behind it's only halfway a Nexus device well that's debatable you know it it I called a Nexus device but I'm getting hard to fight for it you know yeah so dan I can't if that's not a reason to start rooting and flashing your Galaxy Nexus I don't know what is yeah yes jellybean came up at Google i/o last year what month was this I mean we're gonna be you know yeah yeah yeah sorry yes summer of last year yeah last summer almost here a little lesson year ago so android 4.2 point2 we don't have an official changelog but we have some on official changes that people from the android community and around the web have been picking up on and noticing as well as us you know using an hour devices is well on a big one that they changing the play store is battery life yeah but you know what that's not only a change I mean ok now just it kind of is it's an upgrade for the battery life it's not battery life before said you could get 10 hours of ereading eight hours of HD video so now they just change the same up to 10 hours no no it's not a change they just didn't list you can get eight hours if you do this you can get night out do this you get ten have to do this they just made it simpler and easier because that's the competition does it's not changed I don't think we need to talk about it that is my opinion yeah I completely agree plus it's always gotten that good of battery life this isn't anything you were special about it it's just as good as it's always bad dan every change form I have interesting for those of you listening dan is a white screen of his name right now pretty interesting piece no I want dragon yes you better transform back pretty soon I um so what we got up with community Anna unvieled unveiled stuff well so we have actually toggles via quick settings you know before when 4.2 first came out everyone's like yeah these are awesome we don't need to to route to get our quick toggles and then you're like oh they're not they're just they really are what they're called they're just quick settings there a quick access to settings and take the exact same amount of taps to disable Wi-Fi disable bluetooth so they really r they weren't in my opinion what i wanted that while it was cool but it still took the exact same amount taps to turn stuff off now with four point two point two you can long press bluetooth and Wi-Fi to disable them or enable them so they are true toggles now so that's nice i I like that i'm a big fan of things that save me time and I'm you know that's that's good I think you better if they reversed it though if you tap it to an able to discipline then long press to go into the menu but what everybody's nose like cyanogen all the other wrong yeah I agree very I agree um a DB got a little more secure so those of you that are in the routing and ramen it's cool if you're not then this really doesn't apply to you that much but you'll be happy to know that if you were to lose your device this makes it harder for somebody to use adb hackery to steal your data so uh real quick non too technical term what it does is it it uses your computer's like fingerprint whether it's called an RSA key today and it saves that to a whitelist the first time that computer connects to your Nexus device so you want to let's say you hook your nexus 7 up to adb it's going to pop up the windows and hey are you sure you want to allow this computer with this key to connect and you're saying why yes yes i do and then you're good to go now if your device doesn't have a passcode on it or a lock screen you know protection one way or another then that doesn't matter because person that steals your phone is going to hit yes I do allow a TV access so if you have the lock protection on your device then they won't be able to hit yes allow this connection and they won't be able to get into your device through adb and do all sorts of fun stuff so once again lock your device is the only as good as your weakest security point so but you know if you want to have the ease of a key unlocking your device know that it's kind of a trade-off of security that I mom 14 lock in your device you know we have so much personal information on these things that it might take an extra two seconds to get into your device but I think those 10 seconds out of your day you know is well worth it in my pan um hey dance videos working you gotta fix good job oh my god turn it off so so new gallery loading animation so that it makes the galleria load a little bit faster in android 4.2 point2 who doesn't like an app that loads faster when you're going to look your pictures good deal that's nice when you're downloading malt apps let's say from the google play store you'll you'll now see a progress bar indicating the time remaining with a percentage is it um yeah it just kind of helps you hey if you got 10 apps queued up you'll be able to say oh well it's gonna take another minute and then five seconds it's three percent done you know whatever so yeah you know but notifications is cool i like that change um one of the bigger fixes was the Bluetooth right yeah so previously when 4.2 came out a lot of people's at all my audio Bluetooth it's skipping a tip hiccuping yada yada yada it's bad so they fixed that I tested out myself or my next 7 I didn't have any hiccups and he skips and ink streaming audio to my little bluetooth speaker here I got from my buddy Randy Kelly down the big Android BBQ it's the only bluetooth speaker i had the test and I tested that guy out and it works great um anyways uh glue to fix in on multiple devices and new sounds so if you have a nexus 4 and you're going to wirelessly charge it with the new orbs charging orbs that are now available in the Play Store for 60 bucks sixty dollars you can well hey if you spend the money for 300 other phone are you kidding me a sixty-dollar charger it is overpriced but hey it's something that you know it's fairly new okay so if you're using the LG pad which is 40 or 50 bucks depending on where you get it all right so if you're using the a wirelessly to a wireless charger when it wirelessly charges you're gonna have a new ding a new sound and also a new battery alert sound a low battery indicator sound thank goodness i hated the low battery indicator before so now it's new i'm waiting for my nexus 7 to discharge enough so i hear it um and renewable and a bunch of lag that people were talking about on people complain that a lot of butter was gone on the nexus 7 I by self I'm not noticing any any issues on my Nexus 7 it's a little smoother of you guys you know agree/disagree that you know lag has gone on for point-to-point to gone her I'm not improved if it's definitely improved um it's still present depending on how much stuff you throw at it at least that's what I've seen how about you Dan you're an expert in all things that how's your nexus 7 working for you have an updated yet but it's been working great on 4.2 phone line okay so David no speak English ah do you have the update available to your device yet dan you're gonna 80 be side-loaded or you just uh I mean it's running a custom roms or no the update is not pop up popped up for me okay but I could very easily get it it is that's one of the perks of being a Nexus device the images are actually available now so if you want to test it out for yourself and flash a back to stock you can go and download the custom are the factory images now one thing within the nexus 4 that's a little different than the other devices it received a radio update and said radio update did something for those of you that were using LTE on supported ly on your Nexus 4 next the nexus 4 no longer has LTE capabilities with that that radio code update broke it took it away so sad face however if you do live in an ATT supported area or in Canada you know that has the dirty been like one of the eight places on the planet yeah there's not too well there's not too many places with you really yeah AWS LTE in any kind of like commercial deployment yeah but they do have it in various large l and t mobile is rolling it out but AT&T not so much so if you live in a supported area i'm pretty sure if you flash the old for point-to-point one radio LTE will work again i haven't confirmed that i put it out for a few people that do live in the areas to test they haven't gotten back to me yet but as well as people were talking about it on XDA a little bit later I noticed so I'm sure I'm sure a custom rom and or just the radio itself will fix that in the near future for those of you that want to use LTE unofficially on your Nexus 4 yeah that was good so who uses a minus the popular free cloud storage app I was big into it when it was a strictly cloud storage when it first came out and i use it for a huge file backup yeah so look if you're watching the show in the comments I let us know if you're a fan of minus if you still use it for storage or if you've recently moved away from it the reason i ask is everybody used in the beginning was tons of free storage everyone to everyone tried it out a lot of people stayed with it a lot of people not those of you that left some kind of left when it turned into almost like a photo sharing app and now today for Valentine's Day they pushed out a massive overhaul on the app to where became a photo sharing social network it's a location-based photo sharing network like Instagram but only it's called minus so they completely change their direction it's really really really weird um I'm really know what to say I mean to talk about what the app does yeah you can share your photos to everyone near you you can see what others are sharing nearby like I say its location based on whoever's around you you can browse their photos and say hello so somebody you're at the lake and somebody shows a picture of the lake and you see it on- you're like oh hey I'm here too I'm not stalking you i just saw your photo pop up in your butt right not stalking um if you don't like the direction that they're headed they did say to android police and a private message today that you know they're still going to support people in the android community you can still download the APK if you don't want to upgrade and they're going to also support galleries on the website and play on integrating into to future apps as well blah blah blah hey wizard so basically they're saying if you think this totally random new direction sucks you can still have the old thing too you slay the whole thing to be compatible with every upcoming android version is kind of useless yeah it I don't know it's just weird i mean that that's that's just like trying to think I mean that's like Flickr saying one day hey we're we're gonna no longer accept photos but you wanted it but if you i'm saying is an example let's say flickr said hey we're no longer to accept photos well we're gonna accept uh random cloud storage files and become like mediafire but no more photos we're just you know this is weird very odd yeah that's strange so like I said if you if you use minus now you're gonna try it out uh this new social network have you already tried it out have you found somebody to stalk close by and sent them a private message sure Scott are you guys oh yeah I come for Rupert world yeah this unit if you live a live in Minnesota and you see s Anderson uh with red undies with red undies don't auto ship loading photos of himself the Harlem shake you hit it run away run away any white guy that's on a Duke happen hoodie yeah okay so Minnesota let's be serious yeah that's how we all dress let the white be autumn public every day alright so good now Google now I love it I i use it you know contextually every day the dan how about you cool no yeah at least in some capacity yeah I use it every day as well if you are gay here also you know I keep telling people you got to use build a more often it's it's really that great and you know what the more you move around if you stay put in your house all day yeah it's not gonna be the greatest dad oh yeah it's gonna tell you the weather to do enemy your private so many people say it just tells me the weather it tells me that I need to go to work like well you need to use it more you know if you the more that you use it the better it becomes and this week it got better and better there's this really is it true if you don't use it you lose you know what we haven't had a sexual reference yet the show so there you guys go out good job so let's got there surrounded boxers I think it's a sexual reference hey hey it's Valentine's Day the entire episode yeah so Google nail had a big update and since a nap we love will talk about it here for a minute um I don't have Fandango around here for movie passes because i live in the middle of nowhere but if you live in an area that supports it call no movie theaters for you you can uh it has now you know Fandango support by reading your Gmail which is cool yeah also a big addition was college sports yeah college sports now you can actually manually search for college basketball not works in general there was a big uproar of well if you search for football you're gonna be waiting a while for those uh those you know scores to come in to understand that you're just young basketball now yeah but still there's other sports what about college hockey true you know what I'm gonna want that another year and then just go to Scott is a big hockey players think it's there Chris my cosmic because my filipina play hockey so uh rotten tomatoes right now to show up on movie ratings so right now I don't know about you guys but I normally go see a movie on Friday or Saturday mom when I seen the vehicle that's an odd day to see a movie on a Friday or Saturday night you go see well anyways I every friday and saturday night I get movie updates from the local theater AMC my theater is big enough to be on there you know we don't have Fandango but you know we're we're on google now um so the the updates for the movie listings are now going to have rotten tomato ratings on that's good no let me know if I need to go see it or not um and then real estate listings so if you're searching the web for houses in Detroit Michigan because you want to move up there and be close to Dan the next time you're in Detroit you're gonna have a google now card say hey look you're looking for houses around here to buy and it's going to give you a real estate listings I tested it for my area and it works it's pretty neat if there's a new less things are from zillow though yeah I mean like I said Google now keeps getting better and better and I'm very anxious to see what comes in android well with the net q Empire the next major release of Android I think Google now is going to play a big part so moving on to big app updates this week up Plex anybody big fan of plex or use plex Tony wants it all the time very I do yeah I use it every day so I got to talk about I feel like I've been talking forever but no well um Lex all right so short version plex allows you to stream media from your computer to your android device your google TV device and whatever they have an a decent ass out there now but in terms of Android UI design it could be a little bit better so they said you know what we're going to set out to design the best android app possible and they did a little teaser video this week and it looks awesome that's good it's completely redone a little bit of hollow in there you know I I love it from what I've seen if you're a plex playa if you're a plex pass subscriber you will be able to get that first and then soon it'll be available to everybody but right now it's only available to flex pass subscribers our arms sorry it will be available it's not available yet so I'm supposedly it'll be available I the end of the week and I guess that's tomorrow or saturday so should be pretty soon it should be available i'll let you guys know what i think of it when i'm running it on my nexus 7 um the other big app want to talk about and then we're done boring avenues I swear is dashclock who's tried that out the app from Roman York he our store yeah it's it's nice it's a very simplistic but informative yeah absolutely a lot of a functional simplicity there it looks like the original stock Android clock which is good because it's very easy and elegant on the eyes stuff like that um but you can add a bunch of widgets on there to get some extra information and the cool thing I liked about it was that you can put it on your lock screen which is really though yeah say you locked in your home screen and you could it has he been to have extensions on it so he put two extensions initially weather and um miss call miss Carter Eppley author email doesn't whatever but you must think that this is essentially what 4.2 lock screen widget should have been to begin with yes absolutely yes without all the excess you know what I was saying is is that other developers can put apps in the Play Store to add functionality to that so Falcon pro actually was updated to allow Twitter integration somebody put a currency extension out there on there's a what else is there there's a other ones and cook for my nexus 7 to look at it here what other Oh battery yeah there's a battery out there so you can see your your battery discharge or charging and percentage left the battery temperature and then the voltage and everything so in the battery health so yeah there's I'm sure we're gonna see a lot more extensions added over the next you know a few weeks as more people use this as becomes more popular i love it i think it's awesome everybody should try it out it's called dashclock widget is josh said those green in your your home your home screen if you're on 4.2 yeah but I said that backwards you know in it will be a good base to eventually build off of definitely let's move on to some device news shall we yes we'll talk about the HTC one m7 101 you know apparently it is definitely gonna be called the one HTC one which is confusing as hell cuz you know a year ago the HTC One X s and V came out six months later or so the one x+ came out so now we're just going to have the one and only yeah so so drop these deviation to this or an upgraded version to this because this is old bill one I think it's gonna confuse people the average person is going to look at that and be like also the one x plus is the best right no just a 11 x plus no one no but the thing is you know that they're trying to build a brand just like Samsung is with the galaxies and you know then pick one and stick logistical I mean they are they are kind of sticking with the 1-series yeah so I want now remember they are coming out with another phone the g2 which is a 3.5 inch screen with a one a single core 1 gigahertz processor it's going to be a very low end model I'm curious to see you know what what that's about but hey it's gonna rock since 50 I guess oh hey i'm all for cheap phones i guess until that cheap phone six months from now sucks and people complain about the cheap phone that they bought an android sucks because this phone sucks and yeah I I have a lot of opinions about that you know you buy a low-end phone and then six months later you complain that the phone sucks na or six minutes later this that's the case with any old former you buy a 3gs right now and it's gonna suck to the same thing with a car as well alright so anyways so what a gram so anyway said this weekend problems started to leak stuff on their website if you remember next week februari 19th i believe they're having a event in london as well as new york city chances are they're going to they're going to be announcing the m7 / 1 / g 2 / on what's the other one called dan we talked about last week a sudden / 1 g 2 and then something that's not worth it worth it for us to remember haribol little like 320 x 2 80 screamed it's three and a half inch yeah 180 BPM so everybody is are you excited for the HTC One that's what I want to talk about it's going to be announced next week who wants to go buy it who's like yes I've been waiting for this thing everything else is I need to buy this question will it have stock Android no then No thank you that's that's my personal opinion I mean somewhere out there there's an HTC fan it is like yeah you know they're excited for this and I want there has to be you know what I've always been an HTC fan and here you have just gotten fed up with them what have you gotten in front of whip they're not outright hostile to the development community they do everything they can to maintain the appearance of being open and accessible to the development and they're unlocking program is realistically very good it has some locations that are annoying but easy to bypass and people make more deal about it than I think they should but their inability to release kernel source in a timely fashion is just unacceptable it's just it's ridiculous they are breaking the license under which they are releasing these devices there are legal ramifications that just mean ultimately comes out of the fact that nobody has the money to sue them over it for but if somebody did put up the money for it they would lose so strictly kernel source not like anything else not just that either they do a lot of proprietary stuff that just makes it extremely difficult to work with their devices they do a lot of stuff that they integrate in with various pieces of the device in ways that it just shouldn't be and it makes it impossible to work around and I go figure to integrate our things into the ril into the actual radio structure the operating system has no business doing that in that kind of way there's no reason that HTC needs to change the way that stock Android works for hit the radio later like there's just no reason for that and they do it anyway to make it more difficult and work with it yeah and you know I mean they're made me there may be no reason for it but you know Android you can so and that's really gotta cam but they keep doing that and they can see they used to be the most open to development there used to be the company that everybody wanted to get homes from when there making the nexus one and the HTC evo and the incredible and the desire and the hd2 that's freaking still running everything under the Sun two and a half years later right like they used to make the phone so that everybody wanted and since then they started locking things down making it harder to read their devices making root more inaccessible routing more of their system into the ril and into other systems making it less portable less modifiable whereas Samsung has been abundantly open to develop my community going so far as to hire somebody like it's like a sign heneage head right like you can't get much more pro developers and hiring the guy behind cyanogenmod then point worth noting because it's almost that's almost when they flip flop in terms of sales and they under play there might not be that many people rooting phones or unlocking phones compared to the majority of people on the market but when your mom or your grandma or something comes and asks they're going to ask that person that's really into it they're not asking average tech people and that's really where your motive your yeah that's where your word of mouth is really being fueled from his the enthusiast and that's almost when HTC completely turned around and started losing out yeah yeah I mean not to suggest that Santa Gemma doesn't work hard on all the devices that they try to support because I know that they do and I know the developers involved with it and I know the barriers for the HTC devices that they've been facing but they get much better access to Samsung for obvious reasons and since then Samsung devices have exploded the market Samsung the user ship and cyanogenmod has exploded and release after release you see Samsung devices supported first by then an HTC distant second third fourth fifth if at all yeah i mean the evo 3g the entire ax 60 platforms so the evo 3d the sensation the resound the holiday / raider / they called it something else somewhere else I think there's a whole slew of devices there none of them ever got official cyanogenmod support for nine or eight or ten and they won't because it's just freaking impossible to work with that yeah now let's uh I started talking about LG the optimus g pro we know a little bit of stuff about it it was outed before Mobile World Congress coming up here 1080p resolution 5.5 inch screen quad-core nice specs well the optimus G had really good specs already so if you're gonna yeah is it that big of a leap I mean they're great specs but at this point it's just kind of becoming oh yeah another quad-core 1.5 plus gigahertz Qualcomm processor with a 722 1080 screen between four and a half and five and a half inches yeah I think the big thing that's going to be more common that isn't common right now is the 1080p screens and I think that'll be the thing that definitely gets a lot of people to switch you know yes it's definitely a PowerPoint it's not the drastic swap that to HD to 720p was but it's scalp noticeable oh but every flagship that comes out this year is going to have amazing specifications and it's getting to the point that the mobile kind of stagnating compared to the first couple of years where we start off with 600 megahertz processors and yeah I remember a year ago samsung pretty much told us that the spec was dead here's the galaxy s4 s3 look at all this cool software stuff it can do the software is definitely going to be the differentiator and it's wide open because everyone the OEMs from stock has made changes for the sake of change and not necessarily for the better but they can really it's going to be whichever one of them kind of makes the bold move of making a really good decision there and I really hope that happens because as one of the device viewers for android authority I'm getting worried that next year on the coming year is every next review is just going to be this has the same stuff as the last one except for this one thing as a two minute video that's all is going to be you know 1080p screens are awesome i I've used to now droid DNA and the oppo which by the way is a great fun the Optifine five looks really felon we build yeah it is that's the thing I was going to say earlier I think HTC phones are some of the best built phones like boys data they can stand up to a lot of punishment the Oppo can also plus it's it's pretty heavy so you can tell there's that there's that build quality 80 that's really good but 1080p screens as cool as they are I don't I don't see it being I guess they're trying to tap into that television mentality like big yeah more more p you know like it's on I met a deaf give me a couple know what full nature he needs antenna he's been all the rage and in TV sales for years now haha yeah I think they're trying to push it bigger than what it really is i mean it's a progressive update you know well this is it so hard is it is it so hard to get a 1080p resolution on a 4.7 inch screen do they all have to be 5 inches that's my question cosmin export our that's all it doesn't have to be doesn't have to be okay it's easier with LCD than LED mmm samsung really just kind of getting it started as 20 LED spin slower to the pixel game yeah what's that will improve you know technology for different types of screens and we'll get different types of screens at high resolution so I mean there's still room for improvement but you know progress over it now yeah I would say Oh LED in terms of pixel density and sort of quality at that pixel level is about a half a generation behind LCD especially when you're looking at the LCD to and the LCD 3 technology the basis HTC has been using it's fantastic the on the line displays in those HTC devices yeah so let's start okay we went from HTC LG now HP another star p Pete yeah another big I so HP rumored to get on Tiger for tablet now what was the last tablet that they made the touchpad that I'm here what did that run that ran whoa virtually really hunter HP officially a tranny HP webos soldiers so webos and how long did it take them to give up on that but well that's what that's why they did the fire sale and sold him for a hundred not I'm just trying to make the point that are they really going to be sticking with this or are they gonna be I mean they bought webos from palm so then that then they decided or sit because they it was cool but the end they want to totally give it away then you know stop development on it completely so yeah and you know my wish to be you know sticking with it this is so as a half-assed oh let's let's do this or is it let's go all HP is really digging right now because even in their home even in their own territory on desktops companies like Lenovo we're really just taking over where they used to yeah they're hurting bad oh yeah so it's it's a question market they're probably just throwing anything they can against the wall and seeing what sticks yep so well they're not bonus samsung in that regards so minutes rumor here HP current devices yeah HP you know the they made they made the touchpad up it started out extremely expensive came down price then went to let's try to make a few bucks on it um I'm build quality like something I think they just try to get rid of them let's lose a couple bucks yeah because it just getting these things are so bad just get them out of here I don't care you have to give them away so do we want an H I mean HP's making Chromebooks now you know so do we want an HP android tablet yes we do I mean it I mean do we know that it's an android tablet or do we know that it's in a Tegra 4 10 the rumor was a Tegra for android tablet okay let's assume it's gonna be an Android tablet Tegra 4 do we want that I say yes I want more device manufacturer oh sure yeah yeah everybody but no is HP's have still got a little bit of branding going yeah AG haven't ran ain't going for them they might be able to sell some and then I look back at the dell streak and i just say but that was a couple years ago that was awhile ago you know android has changed lot since then the tablet the larger device market has changed a lot since then so i'm curious to what they're gonna bring to the table but i just don't see it i don't know i don't see them putting out something that is going to all everyone yeah i don't think so either look at HP put into an android tablet that hasn't been done already that is quintessential HP and i just can't think of that future there has to be a lot of RND and a lot of features that are no specific to their tablets which yeah and I and I'm sorry to say this but immediately what I think is a skinned themed custom UI troi device with all sorts of bloatware yeah notice I'm thinking to if if I turn on an Android tablet and HP punches me in the face through the screen by the time yeah I will I wonder if boy customer support yeah hey my tablet turned off oh I'm scared to death I wonder if a lot of the people just from the desktop market and you know the laptop market are you know pretty engraved with this notion of this is what the experience is going to be like I'm going to get a lot of bloatware and this is an HP device to me I wonder if they're gonna do that and not try out the device clinically a lot of reason that consumers have responded to these desktop companies that are trying to put tablets on the market like you've got toshiba and you know lenovo a couple other players but a lot of reason people are buying tablets is because of the perception that it's a simpler device to use from a windows laptop or desktop or whatever and that's the only bad thing about them having their name on it is there associate that with what they've had in the past from you know so it's so can they do anything to take that negative connotation with their name and no come up with something that people will be excited about do they have to start another small company and just produce the devices out of air or I mean what can they do it is HP they need to produce a extremely high quality build quality device put your money where your mouth is highly SPECT clean operating system no hiccups no performances release it without a hitch market the crap out of it ensure they can bust their way onto the scene I absolutely believe that anybody can break into Samsung's lead in the android market it's totally open still it's just do it right let's put CDN do you remember a year ago when HP said we're done with all desktop computers were not making them anymore and then they're like wow you know maybe not you know and then you go all in that's why I don't think it's gonna happen I think it could happen but I don't think they'll pull it off this makes me curious out of all of us here does any of us do do any of us have a HP device that we use regularly no no thank you you know and even at work on modèle shop I we don't have HP device protection why do we not have any HP devices w/e don't we don't trust it we don't trust the brand it's it's gonna break for me I owned an HP laptop a 17-inch oh you broke in six months yeah I dramatically once but the you know I mean the bloatware is not a big deal because you can just you know take all of it but you know not to get off on this type of tangent but the way the pc market is as soon as one of us has a bad experience with any manufacturer device the first thing we say is yep all these are everything else is going to do you know what and i will swear up and down how amazing del juez because i never had a problem with any any server support with Dell but the first time I have an issue I'm probably gonna be I mean that that that's the way we are that's the way Austin you know techies are hard-coded that way I'm really kind of HP laptop that wasn't like falling apart and totally jank my sister had one and hers was crap and that is I mean they kept late to anybody else you guys all know I had a compact desktop is my first desktop and it was oh man it was if it was asked a good computer but what about packard bell John you know like a Qi good i had a packard bell that was my first computer like my first computer game on that girl is a 486 DX 250 i remember that boy 4 Meg's are random 9600 baud modem no it was talking lie it even had a tape backup drive that's right yeah now I never used but hey I had it give us still use tape yeah yeah why I used tape for other things well anyways so less tangents more Android um let's talk about some Android updates for devices the oh the droid DNA this awesome little thing don't you dare lie to our audience this thing is great oh this awesome little thing that you hate oh you know what it's so awesome I have this update here pending that I'm just not gonna click it you know it but i have it i could get update i could get it um so if you're rocking the droid DNA and you like the phone that's cool you want this update and why do you want this update well you can do Hulu Plus a hotspot connectivity has been fixed right now tell you the droid dna's hotspot the verizon hotspot app sucks you more like a cold side it's horrible you will get horrible download speeds your connectivity will drop you'll get dropped packets mean like webpages won't load and then sometimes they will it it's horrible I had to install Wi-Fi tether for root users to even that tether on my uh my DNA every single time because the stock one sucks well verizon / HTC fixed it whoever was at fault ah and that has been fixed on on the updates you wanted for that and they have improvements for audio quality for wired headsets as well as earpiece has been made so that means Beats Audio improvements that's what I'm hearing as I said there's been some bluetooth connectivity issues fixed for volume levels of fixed so those of you they're using bluetooth speakers such as this little guy was talking about earlier that should sound more awesome with the update there's been enhanced reliability and stability of the contacts list Wi-Fi connectivity has been improved I heard a lot of people actually talking about that I personally haven't had any Wi-Fi issues neither is one of my friends that has the DNA that we talked about the phone all the time he hasn't mentioned any Wi-Fi issue so it might be intermittent um there's been improvements the default browser if you use HTC's browser I use Chrome that I don't care about that some people like it and I'm curious to find out what the enhanced recent apps functionality improvement is HTC as you know has their own customization for recents which is horrible yeah I would show you but I have jellybeans recent menu on here but I'm curious as to what that improvement is who yeah so I'm sure we'll start seeing screenshot shots you in the near future about the improvement no this is just a regular recent apps you know economic did you improve this like what what is this well more than one would be nice well you can't swipe down to kill an app you can I swipe up I don't know I don't know I don't know either way they improved it somehow so I'm curious uh Josh if you're gonna get the update I don't know if your stock or not oh I'll try it I mean I'd literally just got this about a week or so ago and I like it it made me understand why 1080p 1080p screens are kind of cool but um I'm interested in the audio quality improvements because how do you improve beats audio when essentially all it does is make things louder do you make it louder like makes it louder or a letter on earth yeah pretty much the equalizer because all it is is just a custom eq school yeah just an equalizer turns your EQ into a smiley face basically it's a hard work ship and no it's probably good I know all right so I'm gonna land though I actually think beats audio is pretty good but I'm just curious what the improvements could possibly yeah this thing that thing ISM sounds amazing when you use a bluetooth or a headset it really does so on the routan in ramen those of you that rock cyanogenmod on your android 4.1 or 4.2 point one device you're the first question in your mind is what am I get in for point-to-point too well earlier tonight cyanogenmod on google+ shared a screenshot showing the mako the nexus 4 running android 4.2 point2 interesting so that means hey it's coming no ETA shun oh we obviously knew it's coming I mean that's what they do so yeah it'll be around in the near future um fingers crossed confident I uh they don't have a lot of problems merging in all their changes they made a post actually a little bit talking about that some things look like they're going to be a pain some things uh look like they're gonna be not too hard and it's obviously some of the things like graphic stuff is a device dependent so we'll see i'm sure they'll do their best and we'll have some CM 10.1 android 4.2 point2 roms here in the the near future i'm assuming i'm gonna update to a rom manager for Delta from updates yeah yeah yeah it's a delta realm update so that just means you don't have to download a 200 mega raw and 100 Meg rom if the rom only has 4 Meg's of changes that's all you have to download which is all right I cannot wait till that is the future it'll be really nice it's almost like a well it's a rom over-the-air update you know yeah exactly yeah this is awesome but you know what the way for it because it gets pushed out before yeah everything if I I'll try it definitely i haven't used rom manager in a while but i'll definitely try it out here once i have a device that works with rom manager because you know this guy here doesn't really have any roms for it does that do does that make phone calls yes i'm just wondering i'm just wondering yeah you can you can make phone calls with this device you can take pictures with it oh i don't believe you but in terms of a custom rom you know it's an ipod so can a kid I've significant player and it's an internet connectivity device does it have access the itunes yeah perhaps yeah you know i'm buying this iphone because i want to remember that video cuz it's got a retina let your head and for so why are you waiting in line to buy the iphone 5 what do you plan on doing with it well it's an iphone 5 is it just a wife finds i was my 503 has the wifis and the jeebies is just a line for apps yes miss the line for apps remark they really hit the nail mad with that marketing campaign yeah so i'm going pirius all the other big kids on the block we kind of got off on a tangent there but the other big kids in block paranoid android are there another AOSP built rom i'm sure they'll be telling us when for point-to-point to goodness be coming to them they just push up kairos actually so actually so if you're followed our show a few weeks ago we actually had one of their developers aaron on the show to talk about the rom and those guys are doing some really cool stuff and he's a hell of a nice guy I'm excited that to see them push out the full version of paranoid android 3 with full working pie and everything on their devices this past week also on the galaxy s4 looks like Samsung's gonna be ramped up for that release as well with a lot of units ready oh I mean I assume so they're gonna sell 100 million units supposedly yeah I mean that'll be interesting and it'll be interesting to see if they can top it I'm I'm curious there will be a 1080p to the screen so that will be a push really that's a document this is overdue top-line advice well you know because you're gonna have a 1.5 to 1.7 gigahertz quad-core Qualcomm this oh my god how did you know no trying to bake 20 let's let's talk no nothing little flame on I don't roll that would be
