New iOS 8.3 beta builds go out to testers and developers
3/24/2015 2:17:32 PM
Almost two weeks ago, Apple officially unveiled its consumer-oriented beta program for iOS 8.3. At the same time, it released the first beta build for eager testers, which coincided with the third iOS 8.3 beta release for developers. And today it's time for a new update. A new beta build of iOS 8.3 is now going out to both developers and consumers. For developers, this is the fourth beta of the next iOS release, which might be an indication that we're headed towards the finalization of the build pretty soon. For consumers who are using the Apple Seed program, this is the second beta of iOS 8.3, which will show up for them in Software Update on their devices. The download sizes may be different for each device, but in all cases it looks like we're seeing files above 100MB. iOS 8.3 beta 4 for developers removes the "beta" tag from iCloud Photo Library, but this isn't the first time that this has happened - so it may be back in the future. Additionally, the message filtering feature introduced in an earlier beta has been refined somewhat, with the category for iMessages sent by people who aren't in your contact list having been renamed to "Unknown Senders". Obviously some unnamed bug fixes and performance improvements should be in too, but that's pretty much it for new stuff in this release. Source 1 • Source...
AT&T's Samsung Galaxy Note 4 receives Lollipop update
3/24/2015 1:08:20 PM
Following a few previous rollouts across the world, AT&T's version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is now in the process of receiving its update to Android 5.0 Lollipop. The carrier has posted the relevant documentation on its website, and the official rollout start has happened today. The update comes in at around 1.2GB, so it may take a while to fully download. That's also why you can only grab it via Wi-Fi. Aside from the Android system version bump, and all the features that Lollipop brings with it, the new software features some stability improvements, and two service additions - Find My Mobile and Reactivation lock. Otherwise, we're looking at the same Samsung TouchWiz-infused Lollipop interface that we've seen in the company's other updates recently. After applying the update, you'll be on Android 5.0.1 and build number LRX22C.N910AUCU1COC2. As always, keep in mind that the rollout is probably staggered, so it might take a few days until it reaches your particular device. If you're feeling impatient, you can always manually check for it by going to Settings > About device > Software update. Source |...

3/24/2015 10:45:01 AM

Now it's receiving a smaller update, which keeps the Android version at 5.0.1, but Samsung KNOX goes from version 1.0 to v2.0. Another change is that the Silent mode returns. Lollipop removed that option, but Samsung has been reintroducing it, the Galaxy S5 got an update to bring it back a month ago. Anyway, the new Galaxy S4 update is getting pushed out in India currently and it weighs 327MB. There's no complete changelog so it's not clear what other changes it...
