Putting down roots in Berlin after six years of traveling is a major step for Kris Carlon, who has spent more time living out of a tent lately than sitting at a desk. Kris comes to the AndroidPIT Editorial Team via a lengthy period spent writing on art and culture in Australia and other places he has lived. He joined the Android community while resurfacing in civilization back in 2010 and has never looked back, using technology to replace his actual presence in other people's lives ever since.

This week we're one step closer to Android 4.4.3 and one step closer to losing chat privileges in the official Facebook app. Meanwhile, our favorite apps have been getting major updates and Amazon Fire TV arrived just before Android TV was leaked. We've been playing with the HTC One M8 and Galaxy S5 all week and anxiously awaiting the OnePlus One launch on April 23rd. In our last survey though, you guys pegged the Nexus 4 as the smartphone that has made the biggest impact of all time.

If your Nexus 5 battery has simply given up the ghost then perhaps it needs to be replaced entirely. Despite being a non-removable battery, it's actually really easy to manually replace the Nexus 5 battery yourself. Here's how to do it.

Android users quite often have to wait a while to get apps released first on iOS, but there's plenty of Android-only apps that Apple fans will never get to experience. Check out our list of the best apps that iOS misses out on.

One of the main reasons most people don't root their Android is because they then lose their warranty and automatic OTA updates. If you want to enable OTA updates on your Galaxy S3 again, here's what you need to do.

The HTC One M8 is pretty amazing and the Duo Camera is almost as good as it has been hyped up to be. The pictures that come out of HTC's shiny new beast are pretty great, but why take my word for it? See the results for yourself.

Motorola Assist and Motorola Camera updated, bug fixes and a few other changes

motorola-assist

Motorola is introducing new updates to two of its apps, Motorola Assist and Motorola Camera.

For Motorola Assist, the big change here is that you can now choose which calendar you wish for the app to monitor, which is very handy for those folks that keep multiple calendars such as one for work and one for personal.

Once you choose which calendar you want to link with Assist, the app will then monitor the calendar and automatically mute itself during scheduled meetings (just like before). Motorola also notes that there are several bug fixes in the update.

As for the Motorola Camera? In addition to bug fixes, Motorola is now adding the ability to take pictures on your phone by hitting the volume key on your phone or Bluetooth headset. A minor change, but still useful for those that like the idea of pushing a physical button for taking a picture.

To grab the Motorola camera update for Google Play, you’ll want to click here. The Motorola Assist update is also available now on Google Play.
