Google Fi now officially supports most Android devices and iPhones
Google is making a major move to expand the availability of its Fi wireless service. It's been a few years ever Google launched Project Fi by the promise of doing things a bit differently than the large carriers. The company is opening up Fi — and renaming it to Google Fi — and officially expanding device backing to most popular Android phones, as well as iPhones. Supported Android phones include devices from Samsung, LG, Motorola and OnePlus. Fi on all phones comes by the usual features, like bill protection, free high-speed international roaming and backing for group plans.Google is ending Play Service support for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
as mentioned in Pour one out for Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich: Google announced this day that it's dropping backing for Ice Cream Sandwich for future Play Service API releases, meaning updates for apps on the older version of Android going to likely be few and far between, via 9to5Google. Google is instead having developers aim API level 16 (for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean) as the minimum level of support. And while, in theory, developers can continue to maintain and update a version of their apps specifically for Ice Cream Sandwich users that backing API level 14 or 15, it's unlikely that many going to do so. Only 0.03 percent of Android users are continue running Ice Cream SandwichIt's not the most surphight news: according to Google's developer dashboard, as of October 26th, only 0.03 percent of Android users were continue running Ice Cream Sandwich. Given the poor overall state of Android software updates, chances are if you're continue using a phone by Ice Cream Sandwich, you're probably not getting an update to Jelly Bean anytime soon.collected by :Maya Tony
