buntercos: Sony has just published the list of
devices that will be getting the
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update that
was announced yesterday. On the
smartphone side, the company will
be bringing the latest Jelly Bean
version to the Xperia Z , Xperia ZL,
Xperia ZR, Xperia SP and Xperia Z
Ultra . The only tablet that is
confirmed to get treated to the
latest Android release at this point
is the Xperia Tablet Z .

Sony is currently seeding the Jelly
Bean 4.2 update for the Xperia Z
and Xperia ZL. Starting from early
August, the Xperia ZR and Xperia
Tablet Z will get Android 4.2 as
well.
Some older Xperia phones running
Android 4.1 are still under
examination. There's a possibility
that at least some of them will be
updated straight to Android 4.3,
but no names have been confirmed
yet.
Additionally, Sony acknowledges
that its updates haven't been "as
succinct or as timely as you
might’ve expected." The company's
developers have now changed their
workflow to assure that future
updates arrive faster. The whole
procedure is detailed in a lengthy
and educational blog post , in case
you are interested.

venorite: Some Nigerians who make use of Android phones and Java operating devices have taken to social media to protest against what they call ‘exorbitant’ cost of Internet subscription being charged by telecoms firms.

Also part of the protest are those who use smart devices such as i-Phone and Windows phone.

They alleged that they are not getting value on their subscription plans, compared to users of BlackBerry phones in terms of data allowance and prices.

The users who besieged various social networking sites urged the Nigerian Communications Commission to prevail on telecoms firms to address the issue, so that they can begin to enjoy same benefits BlackBerry users enjoy on their platforms.

To register their displeasure, some subscribers have launched an online petition on change.org. The petition is titled “Telecoms Service Provider in Nigeria: All Data Users Demand Fairness.’’

The petition, which has attracted 40 signatures, reads, “The Nigerian youths are crying out loud. We need a better data plan for Internet access on our smartphones. The present data plans are too expensive compared to the bandwidth.’’

The petitioners have also tweeted their complaints to the handles of the various telecoms firms as well as the NCC. The hashtag #AllDataUsersDemandsFairness has also been employed by the subscribers to register their protest on the social network.

Writing on the Facebook wall of the NCC, one Ugochukwu Samuel argues that the situation where he gets between 200 and 350 megabytes for N1,000, while those on Blackberry get between 1 and 3 gigabyte for N1,000, is “unfair.’’

He states, “As a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I wish to express my right by urging the Nigerian Communications Commission to see to the review of the data cap attached to the subscription of data on smart phones such as Android, IOS and Windows by our network providers.

“I demand a fair data plan. In comparison to the Blackberry plan, which is considered slightly affordable, subscribers on Android get between 200 and 350MB for N1,000 while those on Blackberry get between 1 and 3GB for N1,000.

“We wish that prices for data are made more affordable for Nigerian youths who rely on the Internet for resources which are not easily available within our society. In solidarity with other youths fighting for this cause, we shall continue to lament and express our desires until we get a positive intervention.”

Also reacting on Facebook, one Musa Rasheed writes, “We need a fair data plan for Android devices. These telecoms firms are charging just too much for nothing. Paying N1,000 for just 260MB worth of data is unfair. Other countries get better deals. NCC, please come to our aid. We’ve suffered too much in silence. Now we are tired.’’

A member of the online forum, nairaland.com, with the name, My Hobbies, urged telecoms firms to provide them with a similar package BlackBerry that users enjoy on their platforms, which allow them to get a fair value for their money.

“Android phone users are not happy with what our local telecoms firms are doing to us. We the Android phone users should be given a special package like that of BlackBerry plans. The current system, where they make us subscribe to MB worth of N1,000 and above, and they give us between 200MB, and 250MB is not fair at all. We all know how Android can drain megabytes. NCC, please, do something,’’ he adds.

When our correspondent contacted the Director, Public Affairs, NCC, Mr. Tony Ojobo, he said there was nothing the agency could do about it, because it was not a regulatory issue.

He said, “We (NCC) don’t regulate technology. BlackBerry is a peculiar service different from other platforms. NCC doesn’t provide Internet services and the enquiry is not a regulatory issue.’’

dipsy2009: Wow! But is there any daily plan that can work with iphone? I just want to see how good d network is in my area

oloto: Finally taking the covers off
the next version of its mobile
platform, Google yesterday
unveiled the Android 4.3 Jelly
Bean. Many might say its not
really next generation just a
few updates here and there,
the changes are relatively
minimalistic too with updates
to multi-user and OpenGL ES
3.0 support among the points
in system’s changelog. We
always had multi user support
on 4.2 but now Google is going
a step further now by adding
Restricted profiles, allowing
you control access to apps and
certain content. Sort of like
parental control, you can now
control what the kids can
access and stuff like that.
Lately we’ve seen parent
complain their kids are racking
up thousands of dollars on in
app purchases. Not to wyorry,
these in app purchasing
options can now be hidden
from certain users completely.
There’s good news for gamers
too, as Android 4.3 upgrades
the OpenGL support to the
latest OpenGL ES 3.0 version
allowing developers to make
even better games. We hear
the new Nexus 7 will be the
first device to ship rocking the
4.3 Jelly Bean and other
devices like the Nexus 4 and
Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be
getting updates from today.
Nice development if u ask me.
