Copy/paste

Copy/paste, multi-tasking and more coming soon to Windows Phone 7 devices

Rumor is a Windows Phone 7 update is planed for January 2011. It is said to be MASSIVE and should bring along tons of improvements including support for copy/paste, multi-tasking and more.

Word is the first Windows Phone 7 update is in the works and should be launched some time in January 2011. It is expected to pack a handful of goodies such as copy-and-paste and multi-tasking – things that even plenty of cheap feature phones can do but none of the 500-euro WP7 handsets would offer you.

The Bing Maps app is undergoing a facelift as well. It should get turn-by-turn directions as well as some other improvements. The software update should enable custom ringtone support too.

Unfortunately, Microsoft’s say on these rumors (as cited by Engadget.com) is much less generous as it mentions only copy-and-paste. See for yourselves:

“Microsoft is committed to delivering regular updates to the Windows Phone experience. Our first update will make copy & paste available in early 2011. In addition to this first update, all Windows Phone 7 users should expect to see additional updates delivered in the future as part of Microsoft’s ongoing update process.”

Another photo of HTC Supersonic

Another photo of HTC Supersonic, the Android-powered HD2 twin

These days you might have spotted quite a few leaked images of the rumored CDMA-compatible HTC Supersonic. Well, today we have the best one so far to show you. The phone looks like an HD2 clone and guess what, according to the rumors, the similarities between both devices don’t end up with the design.



Word on the street is that the Supersonic (or whatever its final name would be) will be the Android-running version of the highly popular HD2 (which runs WinMo).

The HTC Supersonic is expected to pack HD2′s zippy processor, namely the 1GHz Snapdragon. The 4.3″ touchscreen will become even cooler as it will be using OLED technology this time. WiMAX support will also be on the specs list.

Reportedly, the Supersonic will also come with a larger battery with a kickstand on the battery cover. That sound pretty much like the extended battery of HD2 spotted a few days back.

HTC Supersonic will run the latest Android OS (2.1) and will feature HTC’s colorful Sense UI. According to the guys from Android Phones the Supersonic will show up in Sprint’s stores this March but its price is still a mystery.

Another mystery waiting to be solved is whether and when there will be a GSM version of the Supersonic.

Bootloader for LG Optimus G (AT&T

Bootloader for LG Optimus G (AT&T, Sprint and Verizon versions) gets unlocked

The LG Optimus G is a good phone as it is, but being the first Snapdragon S4 Pro-powered phone to hit the market, it draws the attention of a lot of power users and those guys are used to customizing their phones. The locked bootloader poses a problem, but one that has now been solved by Project FreeGee.

FreeGee is a tool that will unlock the bootloader of your Optimus G and it comes courtesy of XDA-Developers member thecubed.

The unlock is currently at version 0.5 and works only on the AT&T, Verizon and Sprint versions of the phone and only on Windows. The developer says he will be adding support for the Canadian and Korean versions of the Optimus G, as well as making an unlock tool for Mac and Linux.

The Project FreeGee tool itself is fairly simple to use – you can read the instructions over at the XDA thread. You should be careful as there’s always a possibility to brick your phone when using such unofficial tools.

Here’s a video that shows the LG Optimus G booting into fastboot and ClockWork Recovery.

Well, the door is open and custom ROMs should start popping up soon.
