Android KitKat ​
Google has just announced that the next version of Android will be called KitKat and not Key Lime Pie, as rumoured earlier. Also, the next Android version number is 4.4 not 5.0, indicating that KitKat is not going to be a huge jump but a smaller upgrade.
​
The search giant has also placed the KitKat Android version statue along with previous versions in the Mountain View. Android boss Sundar Pichai posted a photo of the same on his Twitter account today.
In this tweet and on his Google+ account, Pichai revealed that Android has now crossed 1 billion device activations. This is up from 900 million activations figure shared at Google I/O 2013 earlier this year.
“… All this Android innovation is driving tremendous ecosystem momentum and I’m excited to share that together we’ve now passed 1 Billion Android device activations. Huge thanks to the entire Android community from the hardware manufacturers, chip makers and carriers to the developers and content creators to all of you – our Android users around the world – for making this possible,” Sundar wrote on Google+.

Let see how Sony give update to Android 4.4 KitKat

I don't think getting our mobile officially this version...

I thought Google would release 5.0 but they troll me xD I hope Sony will give the list of device's that are updating to 4.4 and hope there will be XL.

Stop dreaming guys.We're lucky if will get android 4.3 official.And since the development doesn't seems too bright,I'm considering selling my XL...I'll just wait for a little longer to see what's going on.Peace!
And about 5.0 troll,Android might run out of ideas...hope next version won't be 4.5,etc ...

This dream is a beautiful thing . I believe that it will get Android 4.3 and 4.4 on our Xperia L.

Hope Satan does not get too much involved in your product!
I'm still tuning Slimkat 4.4.4 to work as I want, patching what I can with my Newbie skills - but you absolutely had the best product for my needs in regards of Rom - Sadly there have been a lot of annoying bugs to find solutions for... I have one main and annoying problem left - Losing connection and all information in the APNs and needing a reboot the phone to get it back.
Iv fixed the low volume, the low mic, the internet, 4G and now have this big issue to squash out... Then there is some smaller issues.... Had been a wonder if someone was still doing some work on the Note 2 7105 Slimkat.
Would have been a wonder of a system if it had worked out of the box I even used it without internet because I liked it so much.
Anyway - Thanks for the great system, sadly you hit a wall and Satan may have wanted you to close down for a time. Actually this system had the least Satanic footprint of the Andriod systems out there iv tried. Keep his symbols and filth out of your new Reestablished system. Keep it clean, keep it nice - and Todah Rabah for all your work.
God Bless you - Jesus is the way!

WhatsApp To Finally Drop Support For More Blackberry 10 And Windows 8.0 Devices.

Just as we've seen from past experiences, WhatsApp has once again, decided to end support for more Blackberry devices running on Blackberry 10 OS and Windows Phones running Windows 8.0 version and below. According to Blackberry Support Page and WhatsApp FAQ Page.

I don't know this thingy that WhatsApp has with Blackberry devices, but i think that WhatsApp has naturally grown into hating Blackberry devices.
The world's most popular messaging app has once again decided to do a routine check in it's list of devices and by doing so, they've decided to shutdown operation on more blackberry devices and this time that targeting the blackberry 10 devices, such as the Blackberry Q series and the Z series, and Windows Phones running on version 8.0.
Support for Windows 7.0, Android 2.1 and 2.2 Froyo, and iOS 6 were shut down last year 2016.
And these are the list of devices that wouldn't be supporting WhatsApp in the near future..
1. Nokia Symbian s60 will be ending support on June 30 2017.
2. Nokia Symbian s40 will be terminating their support on December 31 2018
3. While Android 2.3.7 and older versions will go on until February 1 2020.
So Blackberry 10 and Windows Phone 8.0 owners, get ready for the next big thing. I think this is a best time to consider upgrading to an Android device, at least an Android 5.0 Lollipop device wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
So guys, that is it for now, sorry to those who are currently being affected by this new development from WhatsApp.
Let us know what you think of this move from WhatsApp, is it a smart move or just something to frustrate Blackberry and its users as a whole?
Bye and have a nice day. and Merry Christmas to All of Us.

Sad to hear that.

I have blackberry Q10 and I am using whatsapp
Installed from android APK file.

Ulefone official website claims that Ulefone power 3 will have the update of Android 8.1 very soon in March, 2018 and some Chinese retailer, like Coolicool, has advertised in their home page too. Any ideas?

Customer Support told me it was planned for May (they said they need to wait for permission from Google...

does anybody know about root for current version?
i 'think' i got the bootloader unlocked via adb and unlock bootloader. the end result was bootloader unlocked but i didnt get to check it yet.

I really hope they fix the camera on the Oreo update, because it is really ****. I really love the rest of it, but the camera is so bad that it is a totally dealbreaker for me.

4 days left... how can it be May when they website still says March?

web site is missleading i guess they have writedown their estimation i guess.
Can you guys recommend me a case for Ulefone Power 3, the ones i could found are too cheap, anything like this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wol...Mobile-Phone-Case-For-Huawei/32784085576.html
Thank you.

Ulefone Power 3 will get Android Oreo upgrade in June.
You can check official information here: https://www.ulefoneshop.com/blog/ulefone-power-3-official-android-oreo-8-update-faq/

Ulefone released another teaser video of the Power 3 and 3S for the Oreo 8.1 Update.
https://youtu.be/7L9RNZmFlZ8
It was published May 14th:
As we promised before, the 6080mAh Ulefone Power 3 is getting Android 8.1 Oreo update. After the beta testing stage is over, the Oreo system on the Power 3 is stable and works perfectly well. The all-new Oreo system combined with the Power 3’s high-end MTK6763 octa-core processor and 6080mAh battery capacity delivers a smoother, faster and more energy-efficient overall performance. The final version of Android Oreo will be rolled out via OTA as long as a new GMS certification is approved.
Currently waiting for their GMS certification with Google.

Well it is now nearly at the end of July and still have no Oreo update........

when this phone will get update 8.0?

Any news?

Hi guys,
My Ulefone Power 3 brought from China in Dec 2017, suddenly no longer wants to focus on the main camera.
I tried different applications for the camera and no one focus anymore.

Question No more Watch 4 updates?

Last one I had was in February.
Guess no more offical updates?

I'm wondering if it's because watch 6 should be coming out soon. I'm sure there may be more updates, has there been anything official from Samsung about updates and how watch 4 is supported?
Okay, found an answer:
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series is now getting a minor performance update
Find out about all the latest and older Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic updates detailed in one place.
www.androidauthority.com
TL;DR:
The Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic launched with Wear OS 3 and Samsung’s One UI Watch skin on top. Samsung confirmed that the series would receive up to four years of software support, suggesting that support for both devices would be extended through 2026.
Current stable version: Wear OS 3.5

My Watch 5 Pro is still on 2/28/2023 update, so no need just yet to assume Watch 4 is no longer supported.

They are not finished with new Watchface or new colors... or not enough Bugs...
I saw GWD6 under Construction...
A B C D... from this month...
