OnePlus has rolled out another software update this week, addressing a number of major bugs that were introduced to the One with its last release less than two weeks ago. In addition to fixing the frustrating battery drain problem, it includes a fix for touchscreen problems, a new radio image, and more.

Moto X owners in the U.K. are finally set to receive the handset’s long-awaited Android 4.4.4 KitKat update. Motorola’s latest release delivers the most recent security fixes from Google, improved camera performance, and a new dialer app.

Tesla Model S owners will soon be able to use an iPhone or Android-powered smartphone to start their car when they’ve forgotten their keyfob. The new feature will be introduced with an update to Tesla’s in-car operating system that’s currently in beta testing ahead of its public rollout.

The latest software update for the OnePlus One has significantly reduced the handset’s battery life for a large number of users. CyanogenMod, which is responsible for the One’s pre-installed software, says issues with the proximity sensor and power management are to blame, and it is already working to roll out a fix.
