T-Mobile has started rolling out Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for its HTC One S. The sizable, 675MB-heavy file will take some time to download so make sure you’re doing it on a fast Wi-Fi hotspot and with your battery fully charged. I would expect the whole process to take some half an hour after which you’ll get such goodies as Google Now, cooler (and actionable) push notifications and Project Butter improvements (to make things run faster). In addition, HTC has most likely included a number of bug fixes in … Read more

Ferguson argued that T-Mobile’s Simple Choice plan was much more complex than advertised and that the terms of the plan and its device payment options were not disclosed … Read more
