Opera Max Review

Opera Max does not work on encrypted apps. So in order to get the full benefit of Opera Max, you may have to relegate a lot of your activity to your browser. This means using the browser for things like YouTube, Facebook and others that the app itself may not fully support. That way the data can be compressed and you can start using less data on more stuff.

Android 4.4.2 update descends on international LG G2

Kris Carlon 2014-03-20T10:30:01Z2 days ago

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.

Owners of the international variant of the LG G2 can now expect the OTA update to Android 4.4.2 to arrive very shortly. As usual, local carriers may delay the process a little, but it won't be long before you join your fellow G2 owners in Korea, who received the update in December 2013, and the US, where some carriers have had the update since late February.

You can expect all of the standard Android 4.4.2 features we've seen across all Android devices along with some LG-specific changes like enhanced KnockON functionality. You'll also get the usual performance improvements and better battery optimizations. Although as we know from experience, one of the first things users usually see after a firmware upgrade is massive battery drain and instability. Let's hope LG do a better job on this front than Samsung.

To see if the update is available for your device, go to Settings > General > About Phone > Update Center > System Updates > Check now. If you're notified that the update is available, make sure you have sufficient battery remaining and make sure you have enough room for the firmware. It's always best to use a Wi-Fi connection when downloading firmware updates too.

Have you seen 4.4.2 on your G2? Tell us how you're liking the latest Android version.

LINE Messaging App Adds Cheap International Calling

S

Android: While WhatsApp may be making headlines with its Facebook acquisition, LINE is nearly as popular with over 380m users worldwide. Now, the service has added cheap international calling to its service, making it that much more attractive.

As you'd expect, the rates differ depending on which country you plan to call, but they're all measured in the area of pennies per minute (with mobile calls to Japan, Peru, and the Philippines topping the charts). LINE also offers free messaging to any of its users. Perhaps most importantly (to some), it's not owned by Facebook, so if that's a concern for you with WhatsApp, LINE may be worth checking into.
