The Nexus 5 really is a wonderful smartphone. I’ve had mine for just over a week, and I love it. But as you may already know from all the reviews, it’s not perfect. Its display is beautiful, its design is fantastic, and it’s super fast. But its camera needs some improvements, and its speaker is poor.
Thankfully, the latter can be improved thanks to a nifty new tweak that boosts speaker and headphone volumes.
Google stock has risen 13% today, surpassing $1,000 for the first time ever. It comes a day after the search giant announced its earnings for last quarter, which beat Wall Street expectations thanks to a surge in mobile and video advertising that helped increase quarterly revenue by 23%.
Remember MoDaCo.SWITCH, the awesome little tweak that allows you to switch between your smartphone’s default ROM and stock Android on the fly? We wrote about it late last month when it first came to the HTC One, and now it’s available on the Galaxy S4, too.
It just got its first beta release, and those who backed the project on Indiegogo will be the first to gain access.
As I’m sure you’re already aware by now, LG announced its flagship G2 at an event in New York on Wednesday, and in addition a plethora of high-end specifications that’ll make your mouth water, it’s also packed full of software features. LG is clearly hoping to compete with the Galaxy S4 in this department, but not everybody likes that.
Some people like pure, unadulterated Android — and that’s exactly what Google Play Edition devices are for; they combine the latest hardware from third-party manufacturers with stock Android, as Google intended it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t like like the G2 will be competing with the HTC One and the Galaxy S4 in that arena.
Last Friday, we told you about the Indiegogo campaign looking to raise £1,000 to bring MoDaCo.SWITCH to the Galaxy S4. The campaign is due to end on Friday, August 16, but in less than five days, it has already surpassed its goal. MoDaCo.SWITCH is coming to the Galaxy S4.
