HTC Reviews Android Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade

HTC has released an official statement regarding its next move after Google introduced the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at Samsung’s Unpacked 2011 on Wednesday.
HTC’s full statement said,

"We are excited about the latest update for Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, and are currently reviewing its features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans. Our goal for Android updates is to give every customer an improved user experience, which means balancing each phone’s unique hardware, HTC Sense experience and the Android kernel. While our goal is to upgrade as many of our recent devices as possible, we are committed to maintaining every phone’s performance and usability first. Please stay tuned for more updates on specific device upgrade plans".

It remains to be seen exactly which devices, how and when will be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich out of HTC's whole Android portfolio, but between scrambling to get new hardware out more suitable for ICS and reviewing what to do with the HTC Sense overlay now, it might take a while until we see the updates boasting Android 4.0 (Android Ice Cream Sandwich).

HTC promises fix for massive Android security flaw

There is security leak and HTC said they are aware of the problem and a update should come soon to fix the issue. basically what happens when you download thirty part apps "specially untrusted apps" hackers can access the vulnerable data includes the phone’s IP address, CPU information, and running processes. However HTC made very clear and said “A third-party malware app exploiting this or any other vulnerability would potentially be acting in violation of civil and criminal laws.”
So far, HTC says no customers have been affected by the issue, which affects its Sense software on Android phones. Sense contains a logging application that collects data about your phone but mistakenly leaves it open to third-party apps.

HTC says it’s working “very diligently” on an update that will fix the issue, which will first be tested with its carrier partners before its released over-the-air. For now, the company says users should be extra cautious about obtaining apps from untrusted sources.

Skype Finally Brings Video Chat to Most Android Phones


Good News
 This will be good new for Android users because Skype launched an updated version of the video chatting software for Android smartphones, which now includes support for tablets and the most popular phones running the OS. Samsung Galaxy phones, HTC, and Sony Ericsson devices can now do Skype video chat, as well as the Galaxy Tab and Flyer 7-inch tablets.

When Skype brought video chatting on Android it drew criticism that only a handful of phones were initially supported, leaving out popular Android phones from Samsung and HTC. This issue seems to be resolved with version 2.1 of Skype for Android, which added support for 17 popular devices. The app is now available to download from the Android Market and works over both Wi-Fi and 3G connections.
[Android Phones on the Skype List]
Some caveats still exist on Skype for Android. If your phone has not received the Android 2.3 Gingerbread software update, you won’t be able to use the front-facing camera on your phone--that’s because Android 2.2 (Froyo) only allows the back camera to work, Skype said.

If you really want to use Skype for Android, but your phone is not on the supported devices list, you should still be able to enable video calling in the Skype settings (just go to "Skype settings" after launching the app and select "enable video calling"), but only if you are using Android 2.2 or newer. Skype warns that in this case, video call quality may not be as good as on a certified device.

Creepy Apps for Android


Android-Apps

Ranging from apps that seem designed with stalkers in mind, to apps that facilitate what looks a lot like prostitution, we found plenty of programs that vie for the “creepy” crow.
Find out more by clicking "Read more".

SnapScouts

SnapScouts is the perfect tool for budding fascists everywhere. The app lets you take pictures of anything that “looks suspicious” in your neighborhood, tag the photo, and then send it to SnapScout’s “super secret servers” where “trained security professionals” can vet them and decide on appropriate measures to take in response. The more “suspicious” the people in your photos are, the more prizes you win!
Alright, alright. It’s just a hoax. But we had you going there for a second


Okay--I downloaded this app to my PC, and without warning it installed a new toolbar on my browser. Aaaaaaaggh! Anyway, here’s how this gem of an app works: You upload pictures of yourself and your partner, and then MakeMeBabies uses “face recognition” technology to mash the two faces together into one child’s face.
But something goes wrong. The faces that the app creates don’t always look exactly human. The amalgamated face has all of the expected components in a predictable array, but something crucial is missing in the eyes--in place of a natural human gaze, there's just a cold, appraising stare. Bodysnatchers!
Similar to the popular Date Check app, which allows you to run a quick background check on a potential hook-up, Background Check from BeenVerified.com does, well, pretty much the same thing.
You get two choices: a background check or an email search. To trigger a background check, you enter the first and last name of the person of interest, and the app spits out any relevant data it has on the person's criminal record, property, relatives' and neighbors' names, and “also known as” aliases. To request an email search, you enter a person’s email address or select an address from your own address book, and the app seeks out any blogs, videos, photos, or social networking pages associated with that email address.
Background Check is advertised as "free" but really you get just one "comprehensive" check per month, and after that you have to pay $1.99 for a basic search.
This app is more dumb than creepy, but still... Baby Manager is the app of choice for mothers who are so obsessive that they want to report everything the kid drinks, eats, or poops every hour of every day. Then, after a given amount of time, Neurotic Mother can run analytics on all the data she’s collected, make potentially spurious determinations about the health of the baby, and pester the pediatrician with the details yet another Google-based diagnosis of an imaginary problem. And of course all the eating, sleeping, peeing, and pooping data can be shared with other neurotic mothers over Twitter and Facebook.
