Today, Boost Mobile officially announced that it will be adding Motorola’s budget-friendly smartphone, the Moto G, to its rapidly growing lineup of mid-range Android powered handsets. According to the press release, the handset will cost just $129 on Boost’s ‘no-contract’ $55 Monthly Unlimited Plan or its $3 Daily Unlimited Plan starting from this coming Monday, January 20.

Sprint is currently pushing out a relatively minor over-the-air stability update to all its carrier-branded HTC One devices located in the United States. Sadly, this upgrade doesn’t bring any major software modifications, such as Android 4.4 KitKat, but it does include a repair for the issue that ‘blocked users from being able to Update Profile/PRL.’

Yesterday, HTC officially announced on Twitter that its former flagship smartphone of 2012, the One X+, and its slightly less impressive brethren, the One X, will not be receiving the much-anticipated Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. That’s right, folks. The handsets will remain on Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 for the rest of their days. This doesn’t come as a huge surprise, when you consider that these devices only received the 4.2 upgrade in late 2013, around the same time that 4.3 was being pushed out.

Motorola

Motorola has updated its official Assist app on Google’s Play Store, which is currently only available to download on the following smartphones: the Moto X, the Droid Ultra, the Droid Mini and the Droid Maxx. The app brings users exclusive added functionality that they would not usually receive on their handsets, and now, thanks to this update, users will be able to reply to texts whilst driving.

Developers love getting their hands on a kernel source code, primarily because it allows them to develop some great new custom ROMs with awesome features you don’t usually get as standard. As of today, the official Android 4.4.2 kernel files for the Moto G can be downloaded directly from Motorola’s blog.
