Foxconn parent Hon Hai to pay Microsoft royalties on every Android and Chrome device sold
Well how’s this? Microsoft not only makes money on every Windows Phone that it sells, but is also able to fill in its pockets on the sale of every Android or Chrome device too. Google may market Android as free, but more often than not manufacturers end up paying royalties to Microsoft for using their patents in the OS. The latest to sign such a pact with Microsoft is Foxconn’s parent Hon Hai. The company will pay a fixed amount to Microsoft on every Android and Chrome device that ships out of its factories.

Chat Heads
ANNOYING!
They are just way too intrusive, I just updated Facebook messenger this morning. Have to play a little bit with it to see if I can disable them.
It would be way nicer if they automatically arranged on the upper part of the screen instead and they were a bit smaller.

launchers?
I want a unique launcher, something that has a Holo influence and is easily customized.
I don't like Go launcher, launcher pro, apex launcher, but I like listener launched but it wasn't customizable enough.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

does anyone have the knowledge on how to reset my motorola atrix hg to the correct internet specs?
I recently moved to Italy from the U.S.A., and had my phone unlocked to use over here. It is currently running on 4.1.1 software, I have WIND service, it is unlocked from At&t, and I am not able to access the internet outside of wi-fi, access MMS, or anything else that correlates to using the internet. the huge kicker is that my phone now has a SIM toolkit, which is all in Italian, which I don't speak. When I try and access a MMS, it prompts me to check my MMS APN configuration in mobile network settings, and that messages cannot be received until the data connection is restored. Is there anyone out there who can help! Thanks for any input!
