Last month, we told you about Samsung Exynos exploit, Samsung did promised to come out with a security fix as soon as they can. We are seeing it today.

 

The exploit affects devices with the Exynos 4210 and 4412 processor, phone using those processors including Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II, the international versions of Samsung Galaxy S II, the international version of Samsung Galaxy S3, the international Galaxy Note, and the Galaxy Note 2 are all affected, as well as tablets using the Exynos 4, some Galaxy Player models, Galaxy Tab 2 devices and the Galaxy Note 10.1. We also don't want to forget the Galaxy Camera.

 

While the U.S. versions of the Galaxy S3 are safe this time, that's still a whole lot of phones. There are also a few other phones (like the MEIZU MX) that use this SoC and may be affected.

 

T-Mobile: Beginning January 16, the Samsung Galaxy Note II will have a software update to Android version 4.1.1/ Software T889UVALL4 via Over The Air (OTA) and Samsung Kies. This update improves security and provides bug fixes.

T-Mobile is planning to start selling Samsung Galaxy S 4 starting May 1, as confirmed by reps of the company. They are the first ones to indicate an exact day of launch and others are likely to follow soon.

The carrier will likely ask for a $99 down payment for a 2-year contract of $20 per month, similar to the iPhone 5's contract.

More and more LTE-enabled handsets are being introduced by carriers such as T-Mobile and people now see how much they are going to save using these devices. Other LTE devices that are on T-Mo's list are the HTC One and the BlackBerry Z10. HTC One is also coming soon.

T-Mobile USA is getting ready to launch a new Android smartphone made by Samsung, codenamed Garda, it not a high end smartphone according to the leak.

From the information available at the moment, we know that the Samsung Garda SGH-T399 runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Reportedly, its features include a WVGA display of 4 inches size, a 1.4GHz processor which is a dual core and LTE connectivity.

Samsung Garda could be available at T-Mobile starting October 18, its final name will probably have "Galaxy" in it.

There is no word on how much T-Mobile will ask for the Samsung SGH-T399. In any case, the handset should not cost more than $350 - $400 without a contract.

Could every leak that is "reported" be just a marketing ploy meant to stir market interest? Recently, information was intentionally leaked that March 27 will be a big day for T-Mo. According to the report, on that day, it will release the Samsung Galaxy SII LTE Exhibit and the Blackberry Z10 as well as the T-Mobile mobile hotspot that also supports LTE. 

Samsung Galaxy S III Exhibit is a faster version of its predecessor and it also features 4G capability and a better memory. Expect it to be released, possibly on the 27th or the following week. Nonetheless, fans of T-Mobile will surely be happy to hear that their carrier will support LTE-enabled devices and it will not happen in the FAR future.

There is also some talk about an iPhone launching on the last week of March but no additional information is available to support the speculations. Fans must further wait with bated breath...

To summarize, March 27th will be a big day for T-Mobile for phone releases

• T-Mobile Sonic 2.0 Mobile HotSpot LTE - March 27th
• Samsung T599 Galaxy Exhibit "Codina" Prepaid Pebble Gray - March 27th
• Samsung T999L Galaxy S III LTE - March 27th or April 3rd
• Samsung T599 Galaxy Exhibit "Codina" Postpaid - March 27th
• BlackBerry Z10 - March 27th

More and more users desire core Android seen only on select devices, such as the Nexus. At present, these people have reason to be thankful for because AT&T and T-Mo just announced the release of their Samsung Galaxy Note and S2 LTE Skyrocket versions that have the CyanogenMod 10.1. This ROM easily converts other user interfaces to the Android cores. Previously, the LG Optimus LTE and the Nitro HD were the first CM 10.1 ROM devices to be announced.

These nightlies will definitely up the smartphones' potential and people will really enjoy the true Android user interface. The news for the CM 10.1 ROM was announced last month with some of the Galaxy Note 2 variants, while international clients got theirs' earlier in December. This is not to say that the CM 10.1 ROM will fix ALL TouchWiz UI bugs and will not have any thereafter, but it is expected to really perk up the way people will use their smartphones.
