Galaxy Tab 3 7.0

Samsung unveiled its ultra-portable Galaxy Tab 3 variant, the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, back in June, 2013, and a month later the device was available to purchase in the U.K. from several retailers for £266. However, if you haven’t had the opportunity or the wherewithal to pick one up before now, this may be just what you’ve been waiting for as Amazon is currently offering the device with an £87 discount.

NetflixBuilding4

Netflix is currently rolling out a staged update for its official application on the Google Play Store, which does not bring much by way of new functionality, but does bring its users the ability to sign into different user profiles — a feature that has been largely requested for a while now.

Galaxy S4 GPE

Not long after Google started rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the HTC One Google Play Edition, comes reports from several Galaxy S4 GPE (GT-i950G) owners informing us that they too are now receiving the much-anticipated 57.8MB update — which brings a multitude of security enhancements, bug fixes and speed optimizations but also removes the Apps Ops security app which Google says was “accidentally introduced”.

No App Ops Google

When Google started rolling out Android 4.3 Jelly Bean to the Nexus 4 back in July, some users stumbled upon a very handy privacy feature, called “App Ops”, hidden in the Developer’s section of the built-in settings application, which enabled them to “install apps while preventing the app from collecting sensitive data like the user’s location or address book” — which I am pretty sure we can all agree is a rather useful security function to have on our devices.

HTC-One-mini-display

HTC is today pushing out a rather large unexpected over-the-air update to all its unlocked One Mini handsets currently located in Hungary. According to the changelog, the upgrade brings Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and the latest version of Sense 5.5 to the device, together with a multitude of additional bug fixes, speed optimizations and stability improvements, as well as a bunch of new soundtracks for the built-in Video Highlights feature.
