http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e1cbbb6657ff13f6e08996caf10ff5a6.jpg When the HTC One (M8) launched, two of the biggest sports in the United States were not in the midst of a season. So the company’s Sense TV application did not have anything regarding the NFL or college football. With both regular seasons right around the corner, HTC has updated the Sense TV app to support them. Also, Tri-Nation Rugby has been added to the mix. Sense TV will give fans of these sports a location to have live scoring and updates pushed to them while being able to utilize the device’s IR blaster to switch over to the appropriate television channel (if applicable).

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/dcf0221ca86375a1f6bdb24fddea6a5d.png Today, the OnePlus One began to receive the Android 4.4.4 update, which comes full of fixes for all of the bugs you may have been experiencing. The update brings a fix to the camera called Clear Image. According to OnePlus, “Once you switch on the new Clear Image mode in the Camera app, nothing but awesomeness will be captured.” All pictures should have more detail, and low light shots will be clearer with less noise. To solve the yellow tinting of the screen, the update brings a cooler calibration of the screen. With the help of the proximity sensor, the phone will no longer switch di…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8d4b07904be9c55dd829db25cc6d9092.jpg New Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure isn't in an enviable position — his mobile data network is consistently ranked at the bottom of network speed studies and his carrier as a whole has been shedding subscribers like crazy for years. Added to all this, he'll have to face the constant taunts from T-Mobile CEO John Legere, who has ruthlessly trolled Sprint by bashing its "Framily" program and urging its customers to "Sprint like hell" away from the carrier. If Claure's reign as Sprint's CEO is truly to be a success, then he won't only help Sprint improve its network and add subscribers again but he'l…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d24c3b085d954df3b733848539b184c2.jpg Gaming addiction can be just as dangerous as any other type of addiction — and not only to the addicted, but to their loved ones as well. We saw one couple go so far as to sell their children to buy in-app purchases and now another couple has gone off the deep end as well. According to a press release from the Orange Country District Attorney, Lester Louis Huffmire and his wife Petra Huffmire were convicted after police discovered they had been keeping the two children they were responsible for locked in a mobile home without appropriate provisions for three years while they played World of …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/95726e0d31ab1878e271bdbd29b406cc.png Over the past week couple of weeks, we've been pleasantly surprised by everything we've learned about EA Access, a new Xbox One gaming subscription service that will give you the ability to play games like Madden NFL 15, Battlefield 4 and FIFA 14 even if you’ve never bought the games themselves for just $5 per month or $30 for a full year subscription. And on Monday EA announced that you can subscribe to EA Access starting today and get an unlimited fix of top-level EA games for as long as you subscribe.

According to The Verge, Microsoft has begun sending out preliminary invites to the press that seem to indicate the rumored Lumia 730 will be making an appearance at IFA 2014 in Germany at the beginning of September. Dubbed the "selfie phone" by leakers, the Lumia 730 is rumored to have a 5-megapixel front-facing camera — an especially attractive feature for younger smartphone shoppers.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/27ad6054ee3b12e24a7786a9fa582e6f.jpeg It's not uncommon to hear criticism of Apple's App Store even from fans of the company, as many have said in the past that the store makes it much harder than it should be to find relevant high-quality apps from smaller publishers. Cult of Mac points us to a new post from Jean-Louis Gassée, who worked at Apple throughout the 1980s and who has some intriguing new ideas for improving the App Store, which he refers to as an "impenetrable jungle."

Microsoft isn’t even pretending to have a coherent smartphone strategy

- 30 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a9428fec4fdf5f88b4176f8a828964ed.jpg Microsoft's handset strategy is looking more convoluted with each passing day. A few weeks ago, Microsoft killed the Asha range of Nokia phones, which was largely viewed as an admission that it cannot compete with Android vendors such as Xiaomi and Micromax in the $60 to $90 price range. Asha models employed a Nokia-created operating system called Series 40, which gave these feature phones certain smart elements such as a reasonably sophisticated email system and support for downloading simple games and such.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ad35ef3c985d72b603efc8fee907f9bb.jpg Congratulations, Facebook: You may have found a way to annoy your user base even more than Google did with Google+. Facebook's decision to strip the chat functionality from its mothership mobile app and instead force users to use the separate Facebook Messenger app to chat with friends has predictably led to a big backlash as iPhone owners have been bombing Facebook Messenger with one-star reviews in the App Store for the past several days.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1e87af90750e0310503c252752deae0c.jpg Samsung will unveil its next-gen flagship smartphone on September 3rd at IFA 2014, and start selling it in stores almost immediately thereafter to fight against the upcoming phablet version of the iPhone 6. With a few weeks to go until Samsung announces the handset, various Galaxy Note 4 images have already been leaked, showing what the Galaxy Note 4 may look like. On top of that, Phone Arena has also scored a picture from an anonymous tipster that reportedly reveals the retail box of the handset.

Until then, the steady stream of leaks is likely to pick up, as it has in previous years.

It’s now Microsoft’s time to troll Apple with comparison ads, this time using the Surface Pro 3 to take on one of Apple’s most iconic laptops out there in the MacBook Air.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/549170e1cfa61f2aeead00f7e54d178d.jpg With much of the attention being drawn toward the Galaxy Alpha and its toted metal design, Samsung’s giant-screened, stylus wielding smartphone hasn’t seen much of the spotlight. However, photos leaked over the weekend showcasing the new device and giving us a look at what we may see from the Samsung powerhouse. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/aab43d7cb1b9c0d890024e06e2548952.jpg http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/74ff2380917f474f2dca01c6db3c6376.jpg http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/41bfda5d9bd78a0abab8ed0e0817641f.jpg We see the S Pen holster an…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/89b1493d45d7d43851cfff3751e4caa8.jpg It looks like the lackluster HTC One Max from last year will be receiving a rightful successor. The device was first rumored to be the HTC M8 Prime and larger than the M8, but it appears that the large-screened device will come in at 5.9-inches (1,440 x 2,560) and will have a Snapdragon 805 processor. Those specs aside, the Max M8 will have 3GB of RAM, LTE-A Cat. 6 connectivity and sport the duo camera that debuted in the One M8. With HTC planning a launch of another flagship during this half of the year, it looks like the Max is shaping up to be that device. source: Tk Tech News …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/356bfb1a3867f90a7feffd728a287820.jpg A recent addition to GFX Bench’s database includes the “Google Nexus Foo,” which seems to be causing quite a few of us in the tech community to be scratching our heads today. At first, you’d think the 10.3-inch (Full HD 1080 x 1920) device is a tablet, but then when you see it runs Android Wear (KKWT), you’ll start to get a bit confused. The device has no touchscreen, no accelerometer, no barometer, no GPS, no compass, no gyroscope, no light sensor, no NFC, or no proximity sensor — only Bluetooth and WiFi are included. None of this seems to make sense, unless the “Nexus Foo” is a…
