  • OnePlus One Update 44S Addresses Several Bugs (OTA/Manual)

    OnePlus has been doing a great job with CyanogenMod, updating it frequently to address the bugs in the system. The downside is that their software was far from perfect when the phone was released, but every update brings the phone closer to greatness. You can wait for the OTA or manually update using an incremental update zip from the recovery. Be careful though as this is only incremental and should only be installed over 38R.

    OnePlus One OTA 44S

    Here are the list of changes according to OnePlus:

    Fixed issues with memory causing screen artifacts
    Fixed issues with random reboots and instability
    Fixed issues with WiFi and modem crashes
    Fixed issues with Filesystem
    Fixed issues with “black bar”
    Fixed issues with persist partition corruption
    Fixed issues with AT&T VoLTE

  • iPad Air iOS 8.1 Update

    The update was released yesterday and thankfully it was a small incremental update around 100mb therefore it didn’t need much space to install like iOS 8 did. Over the past 24 hours I have noticed that it is much snappier and smoother than iOS 8. Specifically the bug concerning multitouch app switching seems to be gone as it is always working now and not hanging up. On iOS 8 the gestures would frequently not work and many apps even the settings would crash without warrant. So far so good…

  • iPad Air iOS 8 Update Requires 6.9GB Free

    I went to install the update and to my surprise, it required 6.9GB free!!! I had to uninstall almost all of my apps to reach 7GB free and then I was able to install the update. I now have 6.3GB free afterwards. So on top of requiring a lot of space to download, prepare and install the update, I now lost 700mb for the new features. Now I must reinstall everything…

    Finally, the update has arrived, but not for everyone…including me. So if you go here over at Android Police, you can find the zip file that you can manually install. You can put it on the root of your device and just go to the stock recovery and apply update since it is an official update. I did it this way and it worked fine for me. Overall, the update is great so I will list the nice new things and I will also list the bad new things.

    • Good:
      • New Dialer
      • Search Feature in Settings
      • Clear Image Feature
      • Performance Improvements
      • App Drawer Grid is Now 6 Rows
      • Gestures Won’t Activate While in Pocket
      • Camera Features/Settings Tightened Up
      • Audio Recording Issues Fixed (Quality Is Still Bad Though)
      • Heads Up Notifications (If you like them)
      • New Launcher (Transition Settings and more!)
    • Bad:
      • Update 8/17/2014: Much worse battery life, getting around half the usage compared to before. A fix was promised to come soon though.
      • Screen is Now Too Blue (Let us choose the warmth please)
      • Back Removed From Settings Top Nav Bar
      • Clear Image Requires a Stable Hand/Tripod (Fine with me :D)

    Enjoy the video below showing everything I just wrote about:

    Update 8/23/2014: Update XNPH33R Incremental

    This update is supposed to address the battery life issues and have security fixes. So far I have not noticed any real difference, but I will make a video after testing it for a few days to see how it is after it settles.
