Puleen — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:26:25 +0000

If you, like me, are running a stock Rogers ROM for your android device (HTC or LG) chances are you are running Google Android 1.5. If you are, I need your help.

Planning the Trip – Car vs. TTC vs. GO

Puleen — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 16:34:35 +0000

Here is a comparison on how in my opinion public transit is not always the most efficient way of getting to and from work. More specifically the TTC is not always the best route. By Car (via Google Maps) – 11 / 12 minutes Google goes one step further and provides another option which is 2 minutes [...]

This past weekend, Rogers made available an update to the Android 1.5 OS which powers both the HTC Magic and Dream devices.

Last week Rogers announced that the HTC Dream device had an issue with the GPS hindering the ability to complete 911 calls. In a nutshell the issue with Dream was that if the GPS is enabled, users lost the ability to dial 911. As a result Rogers released an SMS message to all of their [...]

Over the last few months a group of individuals on AndroidForums.com and IWantMyOnePointSix.com have been actively demanding Rogers and HTC to provide an update for the HTC Magic and Dream.

Rogers HTC Magic to be upgraded to Android 2.1 with Sense, Dream left behind

Puleen — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:33:41 +0000

Before you all start to jump up and down, take this with a grain of salt. I have started to believe in the saying “seeing is believing” more and more. This whole blunder between HTC and Rogers not supporting the Magic / Dream users by not providing Android 1.6 update has left an extremely bad [...]
