Sprint Samsung Epic 4G Android 2.3

Samsung is Sprint's 4G epic very personal version of the Samsung S Galaxy, Android smart phone, which was the main attraction last year. When he started, he ran the Epic 4G Android 2.1, because all the Galaxy S are brothers and sisters. Since then, it has been updated to Froyo Android 2.2, and now it seems that it is scheduled to be reported to the version of operating system crash.

Sprintf heard from a reliable source that the long-awaited update of gingerbread will begin the deployment of 4G Epic before the end of this month. This is good news for owners of Epic 4G, and become one of the best combination of support (in terms of major software updates) ever in the world of Android.

It is not an exact date yet to speak the update, at least not yet, but the signs seem to indicate the end of the month - after July 24 to be exact. And if it should be July 25 July 31 days and we are confident that the owners will appreciate this update Epic 4G.

The reason is not in the past is apparently Samsung TouchWiz UI, adds its own layer of Android phones. If we were to guess, we would say that the openings in the latest version of TouchWiz is the longest time, probably much more than they actually get the bits to work with Android Gingerbread 4G Epic. But such is the price that manufacturers pay for the obsession with cell differentiation through software duplication. Just look at the recent problems with HTC and put them in the Sense of the original desire IU.

Sprint Pushes Android Security App

Recent discoveries of malware in the Android Market is expected that the companies involved. While Google has removed over 100 markets malware in recent months, the threats continue.

Insert the Sprint and its new partnership with Mobile Security Lookout. The company makes Lookout Mobile, Android security for free to their customers with ease.

Free - version of the software blocks viruses, malware and spyware - and somewhat limited. Can also be used to save and restore contacts, locating a lost or stolen phone on a map, and an audible alarm to identify the exact location of the device. If you want more protection than this, you will need to upgrade to the Premium version of the application.

The paid version is much more and is probably the best option for companies when it comes to smartphones to protect employees. First, it helps users understand what applications can access their private data. Although applications offer a display with the permissions of the information before it is installed, is not always clearly defined.

The Premium version allows users to save not only contact information but also pictures and call history. Data is stored in the cloud at the Mirador site, which has a backup script and restore the phone if necessary.

It has the same location as the free version, but adds the ability to block or erase a lost or stolen phone. This is essential for business users. As smartphones can store and access all types of business data, data protection is paramount. If your company does not have a management tool for smartphones, this simple piece of software can provide some peace of mind.

The latest version also adds protection during transport. For example, the Safe Browsing feature of the analysis of all the sites users are visiting in real time to protect against the latest online threats. Mirador mentions that users can click links - even Facebook - without fear. (Gee, Facebook is full of malware or something else?)

Belvedere says the application has been optimized for low battery consumption. It uses the same amount of juice that a call was 33 votes. According to reviews posted by the application in the Android Marketplace, it is considered by most users. He won an average of 4.5 stars over 190 000 users.

Sprint steps up prepaid game: Android fuels commodity devices

The Triumph was the real treatment if there was one day. If I went into a Sprint store and saw this hand without a "prepaid" label affixed to the product, I assume it is full, smartphone regular contract. And in a way that is really just an ordinary 3G smartphone. Motorola (Sprint and Virgin Mobile brand) is developing a bridge between smart phones and prepaid subsidized by making some decent options for the lower category.

In many ways, Virgin Mobile eclipsed more expensive Triumph Sprint 4G Photon. Amazing what $ 25 a month, and Web communication services and to discuss the plan can be done. Triumph is not the first Android device around a prepaid card. Virgin Mobile has some characteristics of Cricket $ 329 Samsung MetroPC Surrender and Indulge in a $ 299, and a handful of other Android phones.

Go to a Sprint phone and Virgin Mobile's triumph shows how much of the action will be wireless in the prepaid market. Here are three reasons:

Prepaid Services will be growth in the wireless industry. The wireless market has become saturated, and the prepaid market brings more customers in the tent finally be transferred to higher prices.

The working class can make the iPhone much more exciting market for prepaid cards to consumers.

People do not have the money to continue to increase average revenue per user for wireless carriers and plans dominate value. Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett said the gap between serious "plan to get more benefits to customers and carriers' ability of consumers to pay.

Take these three elements and combines them mobile operating system, Android, which power devices capable of high-end and low end, and carriers may have to move down market in order to maintain growth busy subscribers.

Android Adds Sprint To Its Carrier Billing Arsenal To Help The Paid Market Grow

One of the major hold-up in the form of paid applications for Android was the lack of bulk billing options. In the beginning there was Google Checkout, but relatively few people use it. Then Google found a better idea to link payments to invoices carrier. They were quickly able to obtain both T-Mobile and AT & T on board with him. And today, the third major U.S. carriers to come on board: Sprint.

Google says that a gradual rollout of the new option that is happening right now and should reach all customers in a few days. When completed, Sprint Android users will see the "bill on my Sprint account" payment option from the Android Market. This payment does not require the user to add other payment information, and will be charged the monthly Sprint bill.

As noted on their Google Android developers blog today:

We believe that direct bill carries an important payment option because it allows users to purchase and pay programs more easily. It is also important because it provides a convenient way to buy in areas where credit cards are less common.

With U.S. companies, Google has recently launched billing carrier in Japan with Softbank, KDDI and NTT DoCoMo.

Of course, they still lack the big fish in the U.S.: Verizon. Google will not comment on when or if the final deal can happen. You can be sure they are working on yourself.

Best Android Phones for Sprint

Sprint is probably one of the best wireless carriers are currently operating in the United States, who have always tried to provide users with mobile vouchers, and 2011 looks no exception. Back in the day, when the HTC Evo 4G was released, it was kind of a big deal. Its huge screen, powerful processor (time), was the first Sprint 4G WiMax equipment. Sprint has been noted that it sold like hot cakes-and since then has continued to aggressively pursue some of the best phones on the market of its client base. Soon after, Epic released the Sprint Samsung 4G, 4G, and EVO Shift, both were very well received.


HTC EVO 3D

HTC EVO 3D is currently one of the most advanced Android phones in the world, and even holds its own against Samsung Galaxy SII. A worthy successor to his ancestor, the original HTC EVO 4G, the most significant difference is the much faster internal and ability to view and record content in 3D without glasses and everything on it. With a huge 4.3 inch screen QHD (960 × 540), it also supports Sprint's 4G WiMax network, which is quite fast. In terms of performance, it is one of the fastest phones in the world, with a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB onboard RAM. However, it should be noted that, like its predecessor, it has a capacity to consume the battery very quickly. Despite a sizable 1730mAh battery, it can still go 100% to 0 in record time (3-4 hours), if used at full capacity. But for those who conserve and use the phone moderately, you should have enough juice to go a day without too many compromises. HTC 3D EVO will cost $ 199.99 with a new two-year contract.


Motorola Photon 4G

If 3D is not for you, and you're still looking for cutting-edge Android phone, then you should definitely consider a look at Motorola 4G Photon. Unique design with sharp edges, a very powerful components inside, and 8-megapixel camera, and not on the front camera is also Motorola 4G Photon is sure to please even the most demanding of users of smartphones. In addition, there is a VGA front facing camera, pre-installed 16 GB of expandable memory, stands, WiMAX/4G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, with the board of Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Finally, it is powered by NVIDIA Tegra powerful dual-core processor 2. Finally, it was also the world's GSM capabilities, so if you plan to travel, and need a beast Sans 3D phone, the Motorola Photon is the way to 4G.


Nexus S 4G 

Of course, not exactly the same level as the 4G or the Motorola HTC EVO Photon 3D, but one thing can be said with certainty - will always receive the latest updates to Android, which is a great case. A pure experience of Google, the Nexus S 4G is for those who want to play and play and always have new updates of the big G. It also has integrated support for NFC, and when combined with Google Wallet will be able to act as a digital wallet of every kind. Made by Samsung, which has a bright 4-inch Super AMOLED 800 x 480 pixels, with a 1 GHz Hummingbird relatively quickly. On the other hand, 4G, and supports Sprint WiMax network, the download speed should not, therefore, not be a concern.
