T-Mobile has today announced that its carrier-branded Xperia Z variant is the latest in a long line of Sony devices now receiving the largely requested Android 4.3 update. This upgrade brings a truckload of bug fixes and stability improvements, as well as an updated version of the Japanese company’s Walkman custom user interface.
HTC has halted the rollout of its Android 4.4 KitKat update for HTC One handsets in the United Kingdom after users began “experiencing difficulties” with the new software. The company promises it is working hard to resolve the issue, which should be available again soon.
BlackBerry has confirmed that it will address BBM’s measly 6MB transfer limit in its next update. The company says it has “heard users loud and clear,” and it has vowed to allow the transfer of larger files over the popular instant messaging service.
Motorola pushes out a fairly minor update for its very popular Active Display application. Sadly, the app is a Motorola exclusive and is currently only available to download on the Droid, Ultra, Mini, Maxx and Moto X, though, recent rumors suggest that the Google-owned company will expand compatibility to some of its other smartphones in the not-too-distant future.
ASUS has announced that the much-anticipated Android 4.4.2 KitKat over-the-air update is currently in preparation for all ASUS PadFone 2, ASUS PadFone Infinity, ASUS PadFone A80 and PadFone Infinity variants located in Asia, Europe and North America. In addition, the Taiwanese company also reported that due to popular demand, the latest version of its ‘Zen’ user interface will also be bundled into the upgrade.
