Every day, your smartphone picks up millions of germs that rub off on your face and fingers when you use it. A 2010 study found that the average phone carries 18 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. That’s not the case for phones that are charged using PhoneSoap.
PhoneSoap uses germicidal UV-C light to quickly and effectively sanitize your smartphone as it charges, and for a limited time, you can get your own for just $54 (16% off the regular retail price), thanks to Cult of Android Deals.
Truly gorgeous Android apps used to be few and far between, but in recent years, Google Play has seen more and more of them. The latest is Sunrise, a wonderful calendar app that has already made a name for itself on iOS thanks to its innovative design and impressive feature set.
It may be near impossible to obtain a OnePlus One right now, but that hasn’t prevented the folks behind the Team Win Recovery Project from announcing the handset’s first custom recovery. The release will allow the first OnePlus One owners to start flashing custom ROMs and tweaks to their device as soon as the first batch is shipped next month.
Google is rolling out another new update to its stock Camera app to add two new panorama modes, 16:9 capturing, and a self-timer. The version 2.2 release comes less than a month after Google Camera received the ability to capture photos while recording video.
With the initial batch of OnePlus One invites going out in around a week, the OnePlus and CyanogenMod team have been hard at work on squashing all the bugs present in the phone. Initial reviews of the OnePlus One suggested that while it aces a suite of benchmarks, it has some stability issues with the pre-loaded firmware being pretty buggy.
The team is now rolling out the final version of CyanogenMod 11S to the handset, which fixes all the bugs reported by users and enhances a few other features.
