Android 4.4.3 Update Details Reportedly Revealed

Android 4.4.3 Update Details Reportedly Revealed

Over the past few weeks chatter about an upcoming Android update has significantly increased. The Android 4.4.3 update build numbers have already been spotted in bug reports and server logs, which may indicate that the update’s soak test has begun. Folks at AndroidPolice have heard from a “source familiar with the situation” that the Android 4.4.3 update isn’t going to be too spectacular. In fact, its expected to primarily fix bugs.

Since its believed to be an incremental update, its highly unlikely that Google will bundle any new features or major user interface changes with Android 4.4.3. However, it is expected to feature fixes for over two dozen bugs, so the least this update will do is make the user experience a bit better.

A complete list of fixes isn’t available as yet, we’ll have to wait on the official Android 4.4.3 changelog to be sure of what the update brings. Nevertheless, it is reportedly going to come with several connectivity fixes, such as data connection dropout, Wi-Fi auto-connect, data usage graph, internet telephony and multiple fixes for Bluetooth.

There is no word as yet about the expected release date of Android 4.4.3. Google hasn’t commented on rumors regarding this update, so its highly unlikely that it’ll even talk about the update before its actually ready for public release.

    Seagate Ships World’s First 4TB HD With Four 1TB Platters

    seagate 4tb

    Seagate will be shipping a 4TB hard drive that has the distinction of being the world’s first to include a 1TB per platter design. This basically means that each spinning disk in the hard drive has a capacity of 1TB, and that there are four of them.

    It’s not everyday that you can claim to that have something that’s the “world’s first”, so don’t be too hard on Seagate.

    This certainly isn’t the first hard drive to have a 4TB capacity, but apparently the new 1TB per platter design significantly increases the hard drive’s performance over the competition. It consumes 35 percent less power than comparable drives on the market with 4TB capacities, and at 145MB/s, it has the highest average data rate as well.

    But most importantly, the new design will also bring down costs. A hard drive in an external casing can be had for $212, while just the bare drive will cost around $190.

    Bring on the terabytes, Seagate. My body and my illegally downloaded movies are ready.

    We test speeds on EE, the UK's first LTE network!

    Formerly known as Everything Everywhere, also known as the union of Orange and T-Mobile’s UK networks, it’s now going under the name EE and (finally) bringing LTE to the British Isles in the coming weeks. We decided to see what that means by running Speed Test on the device — and it’s looking good. Upload speeds averaged around 20Mbps, while downloads peaked around 38Mbps — consistently above 25Mbps. If you’re wondering what this means for how you’ll normally use your phone, Angry Birds’ 20MB-plus app download rocketed down from the new network and this very site appeared in an instant. See for yourself after the break.
