Latest Facebook update brings app tray to Home launcher
Poor Facebook seems to be going in the wrong direction with its Home launcher, adding a much-needed Favorites tray while breaking support for two of the hottest Android smartphones around.
Android Community reported Thursday that the latest update to Facebook for Android appears to be off to a rocky start, at least for owners of certain high-profile handsets.
First the good news: The latest Facebook update released to Google Play yesterday adds welcome new features such as changing the audience for existing posts and sending multiple photos in a single message.
The social network also added bug fixes for Facebook Home users, along with the ability to "customize your app launcher by dragging the apps you use most to a new favorites tray."
Or at least thats the idea - the report claims the update breaks Facebook Home support on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, two of the most popular Android smartphones around.
Both handsets received official Facebook Home support in May, suggesting the sudden lack of support is a bug which will soon to be rectified by another update, either to Home itself or the official Facebook app.
On the brighter side, the Facebook update also introduces new privacy settings for what can be shared with Facebook Home, along with always welcome "stability and memory improvements."

Full size HTC Windows 8 tablet reportedly scrapped due to low demand
HTC’s plans for a roughly 12-inch screen Windows RT tablet have reportedly been scrapped after being considered too much of a commercial risk.
Following a poor response to the first wave of Windows RT tablets, HTC has decided not to release a rival to Windows 8 tablets like the Windows RT-based Surface.
Bloomberg talked to an unnamed source “familiar with the matter”, who claimed that the tablet has been binned “because it cost too much and demand for RT machines has been weak.”
However, the same source also claims that a 7-inch Windows RT tablet is still on the cards.
If this smaller tablet arrives later this year, it will be among the first ‘small’ Windows 8 tablets, alongside the 8.1-inch Acer W3 – due for an official unveiling at the Computex show in Taiwan next week.
HTC Tablets
To date HTC has produced only one tablet that was released in the UK. 2011’s Android-based HTC Flyer was a 7-inch screen tablet that met with little public interest and poor sales.
The company’s second attempt will reportedly land in September or October, which is around the expected launch of the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2.
Windows RT
To date, the ‘official’ Windows RT tablet, the Surface RT, is estimated to have sold around 900,000 units, having launched in October 2012.
However, that the full Windows 8 Surface Pro has shifted 400,000 in under a month demonstrates how little demand there is for Windows RT tablets – validating HTC’s concerns.
Windows RT has been roundly criticised for being both severely limited and confusing. The OS looks just like full Windows 8, but does not let you freely install non-Marketplace Windows apps.
The State of HTC
The release of the HTC One Android phone has been interpreted by many as a return to form for HTC, whose position as a top Android phone maker has waned in recent years.
However, this is not clearly reflected in the company’s share price, which is roughly a quarter of what it was during the company’s all-time high point of April 2011.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumours point to 3GB of RAM
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumours have once again suggested the smartphone turn tablet hybrid will land packing 3GB of RAM, a move that would be a first for the industry.
The latest Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumours, which have come out of the company’s native Korean, has claimed the third-generation ‘phablet’ device could be even more powerful than its market leading flagship sibling, the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Far from the first time the currently unconfirmed handset has been tipped to run 3GB of RAM, the latest reports back up similar claims earlier this year which suggested the device would host 3GB of RAM alongside the same 1.6GHz eight-core processor handed to the S4 in certain markets.
As well as being a bit of a powerhouse, the less than official sources have suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will line up at just 8mm thick, a rumour which points to a dramatic redesign over the 9.4mm Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Recent reports claimed the Note 3 will feature an all new metal design, stepping away from the cheap feeling plastic handsets Samsung has become associated with.
A device set to rival the recently unveiled Sony Xperia Z Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is believed to be heading to market with a 5.99-inch display in tow. A full 1-inch larger than the already sizeable S4, it has been claimed that this touchscreen offering will be a Super AMOLED option with a 1080p Full HD resolution.
With a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date expected to follow an IFA unveiling, leaks earlier this week claimed the phone would be formally unveiled on September 4, press day of the Berlin based tech show.
Taking more than a few pointers from the S4, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumour mill has pointed to the Huawei Ascend Mate challenger running the same 13-megapixel rear-mounted camera as its more mainstream sibling.

iOS 7 Safari update to introduce a host of new features
The iOS 7 Safari update will introduce a host of new features to make the Apple mobile internet browsing experience much richer.
Safari has been given a fresh coat of paint for iOS 7 and will include a number of new features including a new smart search box and fullscreen mode for landscape and portrait viewing.
Of course, on the surface Safari for iOS 7 has retained some of the same features as its predecessor. It still has the address bar at the top of the screen, menu bar at the bottom and the traditional back, forward, share tab and bookmarks function buttons.
With iOS 7, when a user scrolls down the page, Apple has conveniently made all of the above disappear to allow full access to the content of the selected website. They will automatically reappear when the user reaches the top or bottom of the page.
Fullscreen browsing has also been made the only viewing option for iOS 7 Safari. Previously, it was only available when viewing content in landscape orientation on the iOS 6 version of the browser. Now, it is available in portrait and landscape and users won’t have to toggle it on or off.
Safari on iOS 7 now has a new unified smart search box that offers users a number of options to search. These include “Bookmarks and History”, “Google Search”, “Suggested Sites”, “Top Hits” and “On This Page.”
Tying in with the new iCloud Keychain, which stores passwords and usernames across any OS X and iOS devices like the iPad Mini or iPhone 5, Safari now offers the AutoFill function. It allows Safari to remember personal details such as names and credit card details that can be stored on a site-by-site basis.
iOS 7 also introduces a new tab view for Safari, which is more akin to the iTunes Cover Flow feature that presents the open websites in a 3D scrollable list. Similar to Android, users can swipe off-screen to close any tab as well.
Users will also be able to view any URLs posted in their Twitter feed in the “Shared Links” section.
iOS 7 will be available sometime in the autumn, as will the new OS X Mavericks for Apple desktop devices.
