HTC EVO 4G Android 2.2 Update Fix

Last week, a ROM on the HTC site leaked out early and gave EVO 4G users the chance to upgrade to Android 2.2. The problem with the EVO 4G Android 2.2 update was that it wasn’t the final version. For those early adopters who grabbed this update, you are now left with an Android 2.2 version that isn’t final and that cannot receive OTA updates.

HTC has acknowledged this problem and is finding an official fix for this. However, if you are impatient and want an unofficial fix to return your update features to normal then check out Pojomans work on XDA Developers. [Read more…]

iPod touch 4 Case Mockup

Apple [AAPL] could be launching a new iPod touch 4 in the next month or so. The reason for this belief is that a photo illustration of an iPod touch 4 in a case has been revealed that indicates a new version with a camera is coming.

What happens here is that Apple send out technical specs (as in CAD details) to those companies who will be making cases. The drawings don’t show the device in details other than sizes of each part. With this information it appears that a company has created a mockup of what a case and iPod touch within that case will look like.

It’s hard to make out exactly what’s happening in the render, but it appears that “if” the iPod represents a new device then it will keep the curved back rather than a glass back of the iPhone 4. We also see the addition of a camera and possibly a flash also which is one of the wanted features on the device. [Read more…]

Motorola Droid Android 2.2 Update Lacks Tethering and Wi-Fi Hotspot

The Motorola DROID Android 2.2 update is expected to start this week although the update will lack a few features that are to be found in other devices running the Froyo update.

Both tethering and the Wireless Hotspot functions will be missing for Droid users. The reasons for the lack of these two “wanted” features is due to the hardware not being capable of supporting it.

‘The Droid by Motorola doesn’t have [the] hardware to support a mobile hot spot, a Verizon spokesperson told MobileCrunch. ‘With tethering there is no connection on the PC side that will allow you to tether the device, so the answer is: That option isn’t part of this update.
