Motorola Releases New Moto X Phone Ad

The next couple months are going to get really exciting here in the Android Community. With Android 4.3, and the infamous Moto X Phone getting closer to release, we are watching the news feeds carefully for anything we can hear about the both of them. Today, Motorola released a new ad that should get some of you pretty excited.

In the ad you see above, what really grabbed my attention was the part where it says, “The first smartphone you can design yourself.” That almost leads me to believe that ridiculous rumor that circulated about being able to change the shell of the phone. Would be a pretty cool little bonus to make Android more customizable. They mention that this is only the beginning, so hopefully the wow factor will be in full effect in the coming years. Let us know what you guys think about this.

USB Debugging NOT ENABLED - Phone locked!

USB Debugging NOT ENABLED - Phone locked! Hi,

I was trying to remove any trace that my Samsung i9300 phone had ever been rooted but in the process I forgot to re enable the USB Debugging mode so consequently now I am locked in the download mode & if I try to reboot, the phone states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."! So as you can hopefully appreciate I am a little peed off with myself & for the life of me I cannot see away out of it so is there anyone out there please who can shine a bit of life on my troubled phone & please do not forget that the USB Debugging is NOT enabled please.....

Kind regards with thanks

Phil

The Last Of Us Patched To Remove Inappropriate Phone Numbers, Multiplayer Tweaks

The Last of Us is getting a patch today that will tweak some aspects of the multiplayer, but it will also remove a pair of phone numbers that appear on an in-game bulletin board.

The two phone numbers appeared on a flyer for pest control, and they were both for phone sex hotlines. The Last of Us's creative director Neil Druckmann confirmed to Kotaku that the inclusion of the numbers was a mistake. The patch, which goes live today at 5 PM PST, will remove the numbers.

You can see the full list of changes below, or on Naughty Dog's website:
