Owners of the HTC One M7 and One M8 Google Play Edition devices have been waiting weeks for their promised Lollipop upgrades, and following a series of delays, they’re here. What’s more, they have become the first to get Google’s latest Android 5.0.1 software over-the-air.

OnePlus has had incredible success with its first attempt at the smartphone, with the One still seeing exceptional demand six months after making its original sales debut. Now the Chinese company is hoping to build upon that with an even more impressive OnePlus Two, which is expected to deliver a sharper display, Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon processor, and an even better rear-facing camera.

You may want to start looking elsewhere if you’ve been waiting for the Nexus 9 to come to T-Mobile, because according to a leaked internal document, the tablet’s launch has been postponed indefinitely.

WatchON, one of the more useful services that comes baked into Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface for Android, is being wiped out in all but two markets, the South Korean company has confirmed today. Users will be able to keep content they’ve purchased through WatchON, while the Galaxy Note 4’s new Smart Remote app is expected to replace its IR remote functionality on other Galaxy smartphones.

Samsung has this annoying habit of putting loudspeakers on the back of its smartphones, meaning they become muffled when you place them down or hold them in your palm; the South Korean company hasn’t yet gotten around to copying HTC’s front-facing BoomSound speaker setup.

But owners of a rooted Galaxy Note Edge can turn their handset’s earpiece into a second loudspeaker themselves with this simple software tweak.
