HTC has acknowledged a WiFi issue with some of their Android handsets which could allow any Android application with the ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission to view all the credentials of a Wi-Fi network. HTC has been working with Google since September to work out a fix and they’ve already patched most of the devices with OTA updates — but they have stated that some devices will need to be updated manually. According to the guys who originally discovered the vulnerability, phones affected by the bug include:

It’s really a shame that it took this long for the Samsung Infuse 4G to get an update to Gingerbread. At this point, I’m not sure whether customers will feel relieved, or like they’re the brunt of a cruel joke. No one likes to get updated to a year old software version when a newer one is already out and this has been the thorn in Samsung’s side for quite some time. To make matters worse, AT&T is making users download the latest version of Samsung’s Kies Mini to sideload (which is ironic, since AT&T was once against side-loading) Android 2.3.6 onto their device rather than push the update out OTA. Well, at least Gingerbread is now available, and here’s what you’ll get with the update:

According to a tweet sent out by the Google TV Team, Sony is expected to be releasing an update to its Google TV devices (blu-ray player). Well, it appears the update is already rolling out, as Kellen from Droid-Life has reported about it showing up on his Sony Blu-ray when he fired it up tonight (that’s his photo above).

Google has been piling on the resources for developers as of late. It’s all part of their goal to help developers create an awesome and consistent experience for their Android apps. While resources and tutorials are great, nothing beats the help of a good old fashioned human being. That’s why Google’s Android Development team has launched a dedicated Google+ page where developers can meet and discuss the latest in Android app development with the very people who fuel the project.

As if ASUS didn’t have enough problems with the whole GPS debacle on the Transformer Prime, it turns out a number of users have been complaining of random “lockups” ever since upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich. While it doesn’t seem to be a wide spread issue, there have been enough complaints that ASUS has promised to address the issue next month.
