Highly Anticipated Out There: Ω Edition Update Now Available on Google Play

Out There, a game putting you out to the furthest reaches of space, just received its much anticipated Ω Edition update. This is a free update the developer has released, so for anyone who already purchased this title, you can go grab it now on Google Play. 

Inside, the game looks much different, with updated graphics and illustrations, helping to bring this adventure story to life. If you have never played, our protagonist is an astronaut that gets lost in the far reaches of space. Using advanced human technology, learned alien technology, and a bit of good ol’ fashion luck, your only hope is to befriend alien species on various and solve an ancient mystery.

To play, you go from star system to star system, mining ore to build new technology, and trying not to run out of fuel. As you visit different systems, you will encounter random events that require your thought, as the right move may prove extremely rewarding, while the wrong move could blow your space ship to bits. As you progress, the odds of acquiring new space ships and technologies greaten, but again, you have to play slow and methodical to make it that far.

While the update to the game looks fantastic, I have found that action buttons are a bit broken. This will likely require a hot fix from the developer, so don’t get too worried if you download the update and things are not going perfectly. It’s a big update, so things are bound to break.

If you love space exploration, and a bit of mystery, check it out on Google Play.

Android 5.1 ‘Lollipop’ Update for DROID Turbo Now Live

The update of all updates is finally available for DROID Turbo owners, that being the update to Android 5.1 Lollipop. It’s been a long time coming, and frankly, I’m sure a few owners figured it was never coming.

We are seeing loads of happy Turbo owners reporting from across the country that their device is receiving the update, so it is safe to say Lollipop is now live for all. 

Turbo owners, the day has come.

To see a full list of changes, look here.

Cheers Mark, Ray, Klob, Ron, Mano, and everyone else who sent this in!

OnePlus 2 Stops Off at Bluetooth SIG, Might Come in 3 Models

The OnePlus 2 will be unveiled on July 27 to the world through a virtual reality presentation that is sure to be something to tell your children about. (Whoa, Kellen, what’s with the heavy sarcasm this morning, bruh?) As we close in on that day, OnePlus is guaranteed to unapologetically hypebeast the hell of the phone by revealing one feature at a time, all the while remaining in headlines and relevant. We’re deep into the (t)rollout of features and loving every second of it! (Sarcasm bath x2.) But because we lack patience, we will also be on the hunt for details that we can unearth on our own, like this filing that showed up at Bluetooth SIG. 

These filings always lack fine details, but if we are reading this correctly, it appears as if OnePlus is planning to have three models of the OnePlus 2. If you look at the Product List table in the screenshot below, we are seeing model numbers of A2001, A2003, and A2005. The A2001 has actually popped up in benchmarks in recent months, showing a phone made by OnePlus that runs a Snapdragon 810 processor and has 3GB RAM. As you all know, OnePlus announced that the OnePlus 2 would run a Snapdragon 810.

Also, keep in mind that the original OnePlus One fell under model number A0001.

So what would three models mean? It could be that OnePlus is separating out storage options into separate model numbers. For example, we could have 16GB of storage in the A2001, 64GB in the A2003, and 128GB in the A2005. Or maybe we are looking at model numbers to separate finishes on the phone, like specific numbers for wood backed phones or those with plastic. That’s pure speculation on my part, but potential possibilities.

Thankfully, July 27 isn’t far off.

Thoughts?

YouTube App for Android and iOS Now Supports Playback at 60fps

The official YouTube application for both Android and iOS flipped a switch this morning, allowing mobile viewers to watch select videos in 60fps. I say select videos, since not all videos on YouTube are uploaded at 60fps. However, there is a healthy selection of content creators who upload in high resolution and frame rate, so finding high quality content to consume on your mobile device should not be an issue. 

If you have been paying attention, the YouTube app has become quite the little data hog for mobile users, allowing you to watch videos in 1440p, and now 60fps. If you happen to be on a limited data amount per month, you may want to stick to 480p or 720p streaming while on a carrier network connection, just to make sure you don’t hit your data cap too fast in one month. On WiFi? Then stream away!

The change was likely server side, so no updated app is needed. Go check out some 60fps action on your device. Here is one of our videos in 60fps to get you started.

Sprint’s HTC One M9 Gets Android 5.1 Today, LG G4 Gets Minor Update

Earlier in the week, HTC told us to expect an Android 5.1 on the Sprint One M9 come July 1. This morning, they delivered on that promise. The update will arrive as software version 2.6.651.11.

Sprint didn’t bother to list out much in their changelog, only that this is 5.1. I would imagine HTC might sneak in some camera improvements and other little tweaks to Sense. If you get the update, be sure to let us know.

Meanwhile, the LG G4 is receiving a minor update that improves “Reactivation Lock” and lands as software version LS991ZV5.

Verizon began pushing a new update to the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge this morning, an update that adds security improvements to Samsung’s Reactivation Lock. The update also added in roaming support for Puerto Rico. And that’s it!

The update is incredibly small for each phone, takes 10 minutes to install, and is still Android 5.0.2. Build numbers post update are VRU2AOF1 for the Galaxy S6 and VRU1AOE2 for the S6 Edge. 

The update appears to be live for all, so feel free to jump into Settings>System updates>Check for new system update.

Sprint Already Dropped That Ridiculous Video Streaming Throttling “Limitation” From Its New All-In Plan

This morning, we told you about Sprint’s new All-In plan that included the most ridiculous footnote in recent memory, a footnote that sneakily revealed to customers who bought into this plan that Sprint would throttle all of their video streaming to 600kbps. As you can imagine, the world clowned on Sprint for this move, because well, it was a dirty, dirty move in a day where video streaming is a major part of the mobile data experience.

Tonight, Sprint has already caved to customer complaints and removed the “limitation.” I’d give them credit for removing this insanely bullsh*t cap so quickly, but the fact that they tried to slip this by everyone removes them of any praise for the time being. 

Their CEO, Marcelo Claure, had this to say about the sudden change of heart:

“At Sprint, we strive to provide customers a great experience when using our network,” said Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure. “We heard you loud and clear, and we are removing the 600 kbps limitation on streaming video.”

“During certain times, like other wireless carriers, we might have to manage the network in order to reduce congestion and provide a better customer experience for the majority of our customers.”

Wait a minute, so you still plan on throttling? You “might have to manage the network in order to reduce congestion?” I give up.

This is Sprint, folks. This…is Sprint.
