		<description><![CDATA[When Google announced its new Hangouts app on Wednesday, it didn&#8217;t mention an exception for AT&#38;T customers: the app&#8217;s free video calling won&#8217;t work on AT&#38;T&#8217;s network. To use Hangout video chat on an AT&#38;T Android phone, you must be connected to Wi-Fi. Apparently, AT&#38;T is falling back on the same excuse it used to restrict the use of Facetime video chat on the iPhone last year. AT&#38;T believes that if a video chat app is pre-installed on a phone, the carrier can block it without running afoul of net neutrality rules. (The FCC says wireless carriers aren&#8217;t allowed to block apps that compete with the carriers&#8217; own voice offerings.) For that reason, Hangout video chat is not barred from AT&#38;T&#8217;s network on the iPhone. On Android, Google+ video chat works fine, because the Google+ app is not pre-installed. On my HTC One, I was also able to receive a pair of chat invitations from my editor Doug Aamoth&#8211;one from Google Chat on his desktop, and one from Google+ Hangouts. In a statement to the press, AT&#38;T reiterated its earlier claim that it can block video chat on pre-installed apps. But it also suggested that the ball is in Google&#8217;s court to make the app work over cellular: For video chat apps that come pre-loaded on devices, we offer all OS and device makers the ability for those apps to work over cellular for our customers who are on Mobile Share, Tiered and soon Unlimited plan customers who have LTE devices. It&#8217;s up to each OS and device makers to enable their systems to allow pre-loaded video chat apps to work over cellular for our customers on those plans. Unfortunately, this statement doesn&#8217;t offer much clarity. I&#8217;m not sure, for instance, if Google can enable Hangout video chat and have it work across all Android devices, or if phone makers like Samsung and HTC will also have to get involved. For that matter, what does &#8220;enable their systems&#8221; even mean, and why wouldn&#8217;t an OS or device maker just enable video<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=162932&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Starting May 1 (and for a limited time), if you bring a smartphone that&#8217;s less than three years old and still in &#8220;good, working condition&#8221; into an AT&#38;T store, you can get $100 or more to use toward the purchase of a new phone. You&#8217;ll have to sign up for a two-year contract with AT&#38;T to get the deal. Since many smartphones cost $200 with a two-year contract, AT&#38;T positions this as a &#8220;50% off&#8221; deal, though the company mentions that a smartphone priced at $99.99 with a two-year contract would be free under this scenario. AT&#38;T also says, &#8220;Some trade-in phones may have a value higher than $100. In this case, customers will receive the credit at the higher value.&#8221; I confirmed with an AT&#38;T rep that this deal is good for current AT&#38;T subscribers at the end of their two-year contracts as well. So if you&#8217;re with AT&#38;T already and you&#8217;re due for a new phone, you can trade in your current smartphone for $100 or more in credit and then start another two-year foray into the wild world of wireless. AT&#38;T Offers Newest Smartphones at 50 Percent-Off with Trade-In of Current Smartphone [Att.com]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161409&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some day, you&#8217;ll never have to worry about whether you left the lights on, the garage door open or the curling iron plugged in, because you&#8217;ll be able to control it all remotely by phone or tablet. AT&#38;T is offering a taste of that future right now&#8211;as long as you buy a home security package to go with it. On Friday, the company is launching its Digital Life service, which combines home security with optional home automation. The service launches in 15 markets: Atlanta, Austin, Boulder, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, select areas of New York and New Jersey and Riverside, Calif. AT&#38;T hopes to offer the service in 50 markets total by the end of the year. AT&#38;T already has plenty of competition&#8211;ADT and Verizon being the most noteworthy alternatives, along with do-it-yourself automation setups&#8211;but a few things about AT&#38;T&#8217;s approach stand out. First, the company is putting all the pricing details right on its website, which sounds like a no-brainer until you realize ADT makes you call a 1-800 number to get that information. And unlike Verizon, which requires users to install their own hardware, AT&#38;T does the installation itself, including any necessary electrical work. Also, AT&#38;T has some slick-looking mobile apps that allow you to control several things at once. For example, you can have an event to turn the heat up and switch the hallway lights on when you wake up, or shut off all your outlets and turn the heat down while you&#8217;re on vacation. You can also control things room-by-room, or set up custom groups for multiple outlets and appliances around the house. As for the security itself, Digital Life uses AT&#38;T&#8217;s network to stay connected. Hold your laughter; it also uses your existing wired Internet connection as a fallback. In case of a power outage, the service comes with a 24-hour battery backup. I&#8217;ve been interested in home automation for a while, but not enough to try a do-it-yourself setup. Still, there are a couple<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161066&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AT&#38;T and Samsung must be feeling pretty confident about the Galaxy S 4, as they push the base price up $50 over the phone&#8217;s predecessor and Apple&#8217;s rival iPhone 5. The Galaxy S 4 will cost $250 on AT&#38;T with a two-year contract, and will be available for pre-orders starting April 16. AT&#38;T hasn&#8217;t announced an actual release date for Samsung&#8217;s next flagship phone yet. It&#8217;s unclear how much storage will be included in AT&#38;T&#8217;s version of the S 4. Samsung will offer 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB versions &#8212; with a microSD card slot for more storage &#8212; but AT&#38;T hasn&#8217;t said whether it will carry the full range. (Last year, AT&#38;T only sold the 16 GB version of the S III.) T-Mobile is the only other U.S. carrier to announce Galaxy S 4 pricing so far. Under the carrier&#8217;s new subsidy-free plans, the Galaxy S 4 will go on sale May 1 for $99 up-front, plus $20 per month for two years. Verizon, Sprint and U.S. Cellular will also sell the Galaxy S 4, but haven&#8217;t revealed details yet. The S 4 will look similar to last year&#8217;s model, but will pack a 5-inch, 1080p display into roughly the same size chassis. It&#8217;ll also have a faster processor, a better camera and a few more software features. My colleague Harry McCracken tried the phone at a press event, and has a detailed overview along with some lingering questions.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=159092&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apologies in advance for the rant, but AT&#38;T&#8217;s response to the controversy over cell phone unlocking really gets under my skin. You may have noticed an uproar recently over the Librarian of Congress&#8217; decision not to exempt cell phone unlocking from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. What this basically means is that unless your wireless carrier allows you to unlock your phone for use on other networks, you could theoretically get sued for unlocking the phone on your own. The decision prompted a petition to the White House, which drew more than 114,322 signatures. This, in turn, drew a response from the Obama administration and from the FCC, both supporting users&#8217; ability to unlock their cell phones. A Senate bill that would legalize cell phone unlocking was introduced this week. Naturally, AT&#38;T isn&#8217;t happy with these developments, so it&#8217;s taken to its own blog to defend itself, with a post titled &#8220;Bottom line: We Unlock Our Customers&#8217; Devices.&#8221; The only problem? AT&#38;T&#8217;s response is filled with misdirection, and is insulting the people who are well aware of what&#8217;s going on. First, AT&#38;T tries to obfuscate the issue by acting as if exemptions to the DMCA do exist after all (emphasis mine): The Librarian ruled that it would exempt the “unlocking” of mobile handsets from the anti-circumvention law only if a number of conditions were met. Namely, the unlocking must be initiated by the owner of the device (not a bulk reseller) who also owns the copy of the software on the device, the device must have been purchased within a specific time window, the wireless carrier must have failed to act with a reasonable time period on a request to unlock the device and the unlocking must be requested to permit connection to another carrier’s network. AT&#38;T doesn&#8217;t mention this, but the &#8220;specific time window&#8221; that it refers to has already expired. Only smartphones purchased before January 26 were grandfathered in under the conditions mentioned above. From now on, you can&#8217;t unlock a phone without carrier permission. Let&#8217;s be clear: Most carriers<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=157840&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>AT&amp;T to Fully Allow Apple&#8217;s FaceTime Feature Over Its Cellular Network (with One Catch)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[People hoping to use Apple&#8217;s FaceTime videochat service over AT&#38;T&#8217;s cellular network have slowly but surely seen their options go from Wi-Fi-only, to being required to sign up for a Mobile Share plan, to being required to sign up for a Mobile Share plan or own an LTE-compatible iPhone or iPad, to now being able to use any AT&#38;T-connected FaceTime-compatible Apple device regardless of data plan or connection speed (with one catch – more on that in a bit). On the company&#8217;s Consumer Blog, AT&#38;T&#8217;s Mark Collins writes: When FaceTime over Cellular launched in September 2012, we explained that we wanted to roll it out gradually to ensure the service had minimal impact on the mobile experience for all of our customers. As a result of ongoing testing, we’re announcing AT&#38;T will enable FaceTime over Cellular at no extra charge for customers with any tiered data plan using a compatible iOS device. Collins continues, saying that an automatic software update will roll out &#8220;on an ongoing basis beginning in the next couple of weeks,&#8221; and should be fully deployed to everyone &#8220;over the next few months.&#8221; The catch seems to be that if you&#8217;ve opted to grandfather yourself in to AT&#38;T&#8217;s now-nonexistent unlimited data plan, you won&#8217;t be eligible for the feature without switching to a newer tiered data plan.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=155192&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s kick off this HTC One X+ review by dealing with the elephant in the room. If you&#8217;re an Android phone maker today, you need to answer a fundamental question: Why should someone buy this instead of Samsung&#8216;s Galaxy S III? (Yes, I&#8217;m riffing on a similar question once posed by my colleague, Harry McCracken.) Because the reality is that Samsung&#8217;s savvy marketing&#8211;plus the fact that it makes great phones&#8211;have allowed the Galaxy S III to become widely available across all wireless carriers, and therefore wildly popular. It&#8217;s simply the standard for anyone who&#8217;s not buying an iPhone, and other phone makers need to wrestle with that. For the last week or so, I&#8217;ve been using an HTC One X+ on AT&#38;T, which sells for $200 on-contract. It&#8217;s an update to the earlier One X in a few key areas: It has a faster processor, a bigger battery, more storage and a newer version of Android. You know what? Those are exactly the same advantages the One X+ holds over the Galaxy S III, except for the equally-sized battery. The question is whether those differences, and others, are enough to help the One X+ stand out. (MORE: Compared: HTC’s One X, One S and Evo 4G LTE) It&#8217;s a nicely-designed phone, covered in grippy, soft-touch plastic with comfortable, rounded corners. The edges of the One X+ are angled slightly inward, helping to frame the hand while making the 4.7-inch, 1280-by-720 S-LCD display appear to thrust toward the user. It&#8217;s a gorgeous screen too; while it doesn&#8217;t have the pop of an AMOLED display, you couldn&#8217;t see a pixel on it if you tried. Like HTC&#8217;s other recent Android phones, the One X+ has three capacitive buttons on the bottom: one for back, one for home, and one for a list of recent apps. You can switch that last one to a menu button, so it&#8217;s more like the Galaxy S III. If you don&#8217;t, some apps will clog up screen real estate with a big black bar dedicated only to<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=153844&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is the ability to upload and share your digital camera&#8217;s photos from anywhere worth $10 per month? AT&#38;T thinks so. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;ll cost, at minimum, to use Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Camera on AT&#38;T&#8217;s network. The camera, which launches on November 16, has 4G LTE connectivity, and runs a version of Google&#8217;s Android software, so it can directly share photos with apps like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I like the concept, at least. Although smartphone cameras are often good enough for basic photos, their smaller image sensors and lack of optical zoom mean you&#8217;ll still want a proper digital camera in some situations. But once you&#8217;re accustomed to sharing photos instantly on your phone, it&#8217;s hard going back to a camera that can&#8217;t. The Galaxy Camera has a 4.8-inch touch display and offers the connectivity of  a smartphone combined with a 21x optical zoom lens and 16-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor. Here&#8217;s the bad news: To get 4G LTE connectivity, you&#8217;ll have to pay a monthly toll to AT&#38;T, in addition to the $500 cost of the camera itself. If you&#8217;re on AT&#38;T&#8217;s new Mobile Share plans, the Galaxy Camera costs $10 per month to connect, and taps into your existing bucket of data. For users without Mobile Share, data plans for the Galaxy Camera cost $15 per month for 250 MB, $30 per month for 3 GB or $50 per month for 5 GB. Of course, it&#8217;s AT&#38;T&#8217;s right to charge whatever the company thinks is fair, and I have no idea how profitable a camera with a data plan will be. But either way, it&#8217;s bad for innovation. By tacking on a monthly charge for every connected device, no matter how much or how little it gets used, wireless carriers are holding back a future where all kinds of devices can have constant Internet access. It&#8217;s funny, because AT&#38;T seems to want that future, but only if customers are willing to pay through the nose for it. In an interview with All Things Digital in September, AT&#38;T&#8217;s head of<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=151069&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AT&#38;T is slowly allowing more iPhone and iPad owners to use FaceTime for video chat over its network, but many users will remain shut out for the time being. When Apple enabled its FaceTime video chat service over cellular networks in iOS 6, AT&#38;T limited the service to users of Mobile Share data plans. Those plans, which launched in August, let subscribers share a single pool of data across multiple phones, tablets, hotspots and other devices. Over the next eight to ten weeks, subscribers with regular tiered data plans on LTE devices &#8212;    that is, an iPhone 5 or a third-generation or higher iPad &#8212; will be able to use FaceTime over cellular as well. For those users, FaceTime will work over LTE, HSPA+ and regular 3G networks, as well as Wi-Fi. If you have an unlimited data plan, or an older iPhone or iPad, you&#8217;ll only be able to use FaceTime over Wi-Fi for now. Jim Cicconi, AT&#38;T&#8221;s Senior Executive Vice President of External and Legislative Affairs, argued in a blog post that the carrier has to limit the flow of new FaceTime users on its network, or else voice calls and other services may suffer. He pointed out that AT&#38;T has more iPhones on its network than any other carrier, and because FaceTime is already preloaded on the iPhone 4 and up, there was no way to be sure that video chat wouldn&#8217;t weigh down the network. The argument sounds good, but as Karl Bode at DSL Reports points out, AT&#38;T often relies on congestion as an excuse for its policies, yet it never provides data to back up those assertions. The fact that AT&#38;T is lifting FaceTime restrictions in order of what&#8217;s the most lucrative &#8212; first Mobile Share, then regular tiered data plans, then maybe grandfathered unlimited plans in the future &#8212; suggests that caution isn&#8217;t the carrier&#8217;s only motivation. So it&#8217;s good to hear that Free Press, which along with other advocacy groups had threatened to file an FCC complaint against AT&#38;T, will still do so if<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=150869&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After nearly six months of build-up, the big rebirth of Windows Phone is at hand. Microsoft has been trying to make a dent in the smartphone market for more than two years, with little success. This time around, the company is hoping that better hardware, broader wireless carrier support and an emphasis on personalized experiences will lead to wider adoption. But of course, none of that&#8217;s possible without the actual phones. On Friday, the first Windows Phone 8 handsets from Nokia and HTC will launch on AT&#38;T. Soon after, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless will launch their own handsets. For more details on Windows Phone 8, check out my colleague Harry McCracken&#8217;s overview. Below, I&#8217;ll go over the phones and where to find them. The Phones Nokia&#8217;s Lumia 920 is an AT&#38;T exclusive, with an emphasis on photography and special apps, such as Nokia Drive for navigation and Nokia Music for ad-free curated Internet radio. Specs include a 4.5-inch, 1280-by-768 resolution display, a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 32 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM and an 8.7-megapixel rear camera with low-light enhancements and image stabilization. Nokia also has a mid-range phone, called the Lumia 820. It has a 4.3-inch, 800-by-480 resolution display, a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, a MicroSD slot, an 8-megapixel camera and a VGA front-facing camera. The 820 will be available on AT&#38;T, but T-Mobile will sell the Lumia 810, and Verizon will sell the Lumia 822, which have different designs and no wireless charging capabilities, but the same specs. (Correction: These variants do support wireless charging, just like the 820.) HTC&#8217;s Windows Phone 8X is another high-end handset with a 720p display and a slimmer, lighter design than the Lumia 920. Specs include a 4.3-inch, 1280-by-720 resolution display, a 1.5 dual-core GHz Snapdragon S4 processor, 1 GB RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera. Verizon&#8217;s version has wireless charging as well. Finally there&#8217;s the Samsung ATIV S, which is similar to Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy S III<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=150831&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The AT&#38;T store employee, iPhone 5 box in-hand, looked at me like I was crazy. &#8220;You want to pay full price? Why?&#8221; It was hard to explain in the moment, but the reason was that I&#8217;m obsessed with tech stuff (justified, somewhat, by my job writing about it.) I&#8217;d like to switch phones every year, alternating between platforms so I can fully experience each one. My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy S II, this year&#8217;s is the iPhone 5, and next year I&#8217;ll get a new Android phone, or maybe a Windows Phone. On AT&#38;T, it&#8217;s actually cheaper to pay full price for a new phone partway through a two-year contract than it is to take a partially-discounted upgrade every year, so although I paid more up front for the iPhone 5, I&#8217;ll save more in the long run. This is just one of the things to keep in mind if you want to be a frequent smartphone switcher. Although I suspect most people are fine with upgrading every two or more years, the smartphone market is becoming so diverse that owning more phones might make sense. Maybe you want Samsung&#8217;s humongous Galaxy Note II during the week, but something smaller when you&#8217;re out on the weekends. Or perhaps you want to impulse-buy Google&#8217;s unlocked Nexus 4, but would still like another phone that supports 4G LTE networks. If you want to switch smartphones more often, here&#8217;s what you need to know: SIM Card Basics AT&#38;T and T-Mobile use a little card called a SIM to authenticate their subscribers. On the iPhone 5, you&#8217;ll find this card in a tray along the right edge, which you can eject with a small paperclip. If you have two AT&#38;T phones, or two T-Mobile phones, you can transfer wireless service between them by moving the SIM card from one device to the other. You don&#8217;t have to take your phone to a retail store, or otherwise get any special permission to switch. For that reason, AT&#38;T and T-Mobile are better options for<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=149998&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
