You may have noticed that our good friends at Google have been busy this week. In the space of 24 hours they’ve launched a new tablet, launched a media streamer, unveiled Android 4.1 and base-jumped into the Google I/O conference. As if that wasn’t enough we’ve also seen updates to Maps, Google Earth, Chrome… I think you’re probably getting the idea by now.
Today it’s the turn of Google Drive to receive an update. Google lists the change log as follows:
1. Quickly find files that have been recently opened, edited or shared with you
2. Upload/Download all file types to/from your Google Drive
3. Selecting contacts to share with is easier
4. Faster navigation of folders when syncing in the background
5. Choose text alignment in the documents editor
The service may barely be a month old and already it’s shaping up to be a quality product. Do cloud storage pioneers Dropbox have something to worry about? Grab the update below and be sure to pop back and let us know your thoughts.
Since Instagram made it’s long awaited debut on Android earlier this year it has been improving slowly and steadily. The photo editing gurus have been hard at work on another update and it’s a significant one this time. Users now have the ability to share any photo they like direct to Facebook at the click of a button. Furthermore users can now search for other users and specific tags in the explore tab from within the application. There are also a series of bug fixes and app optimisations bundled in for good measure.
The update is available right now, you can grab it through the QR code or Google Play link below. Enjoy!

Well you can hold fire on trading it in for a Galaxy S III as HTC has released a statement promising a timely update to remedy the issue. Better yet, the guys over at BriefMobile managed to get their hands on it early and have uploaded it so the rest of us can get in on the action.

“In regards to the wifi issue your running into, this is currently an issue that has been brought to our attention and we are actively working on a fix for this. We don’t have an ETA on the release of the fix yet, but we do have a work around in the meanwhile of toggling the wifi connection on the phone for a few seconds then toggling it back on. This will reset the connection from the phone to the Wifi, make it grab a new address and it should work for a while.”

If you own a DROID Bionic and you’re growing tired of staring enviously at your DROID RAZR toting companions and their immensely useful ‘Smart Actions’ application, we’ve got you covered.
Dana Davis AKA iNsAnEmOd took to his twitter account to generously share his work with the world in the shape of an APK download. You don’t need to be rooted to get going, you can simply side load the application and you’re good to go. Feedback online suggests that the APK will only work on Motorola ROMs, I’ve tried it out on my GSM Galaxy Nexus and can confirm that it didn’t work.
Click the link below to download the application and be sure to let us know how it works out for you in the comments below.

The Google Play Store has ran into one or two teething problem since it replaced the long-standing Android Market. Google has already pushed out a couple of updates in a short space of the time with the most recent seemingly causing more issues than it fixed. Frustrated users have been reporting a series of force closes, glitches whilst browsing and disappearing paid apps.
Fret no more as Google has started rolling out v3.5.16 which promises to fix the reported issues. There doesn’t appear to be a major overhaul here, it’s primarily just bug fixes. Paid apps are back, force closes fixed and early feedback suggests that navigating the menus is quicker and smoother.
If you don’t want to hang around until Google gets round to pushing the update then why not fetch it yourself. Click any one of the links below to get going.

The newest version of the Google Play store started to roll out last night and brings some welcomed new features. There is now a tabbed ‘My Apps’ section that shows you all the apps you have ever installed (up to 250) and an ‘All’ section that contains all the apps loaded on your device. You can also flip between multiple accounts under the All tab instead of going into your settings like in previous builds.
Another neat feature is the upgrade to the app reviews. If the Google servers can decipher what device the reviewer is using, the Play store will now reflect that in each review. You are also presented with new options in which you can display the reviews. You can see reviews from owners of your device only, or from the lasted version of the app, and you can also sort the way in which reviews are displayed, i.e. most helpful or newest reviews first. Pretty handy indeed!
This new update brings the Play store up to build 3.5.15 and should reach all devices over the next few days. If you are anxious to see what the changes look like right now then you can force the update yourself thanks to XDA member Joel Chan. No root required, just download this apk file and make sure you have ‘Unknown Sources’ checked off under the Security option in your device settings. Once downloaded, simply open the file and install but be sure to let us know what you think!

The developer who created the Trebuchet launcher that will be found in CM9, has tweaked the app a bit and released an alpha version for the public.

- Enable/Disable Auto-Rotate

From there, head over to the XDA forums to search for upgrade options. Jump past the break for more screenshots and download instructions. » Read the rest
Up until today, the only way you could get Popcap’s smash hit, Plants vs. Zombies, on your Android device was through the Amazon Appstore. It seems that Amazon had exclusive Android rights to the game before the Android Market could get a hold of it, but today that is old news as Popcap announces the availability of Plants vs Zombies and Peggle in the Android Market.
Both games are available now and can be downloaded for $2.99 through one of the download links below. If you are new to either of these games, let us know what you think.
