[Update: Fixed] PSA: Don’t Panic – Google+ v4.0 Is Currently Only Compatible With Android 2.2 – 2.3.7, But Google Is Working On A Fix
Hordes of excited Google+ users trying to get the new v4.0 update of their favorite Android app were puzzled this morning when their devices running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean were suddenly listed as incompatible. Numerous "WAT?!"s were exclaimed and heart attacks had, but don't worry, Google isn't canning Google+.
As you can see, the reason your devices are incompatible is simple - the Google+ team set the app compatibility to just Froyo and Gingerbread. As we suspected, it's just a temporary glitch - a Google+ engineer and Vic Gundotra already confirmed that the company is aware of the problem caused by a faulty manifest and is working on a fix:
So sit tight, folks.

Galaxy S III LTE Shows Up On T-Mobile’s Site, Leaked Doc Suggests June 5th Launch Date
![1[8]](http://i0.wp.com/cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/nexusae0_182.png "1[8]")
Ah, T-Mobile's illusive Galaxy S III LTE. We've known it was coming for months now, and the long-overdue device has now silently showed up on T-Mo's website sporting a $70 down payment. Unfortunately, there's no release date in sight, but a leaked internal document obtained by TmoNews shows June 5th as the official launch date, suggesting that the 'add to cart' option here is merely a pre-order option.
But that's not all TmoNews' little snippet holds – there are also details of yet another member of the Galaxy Exhibit family. This device could be T-Mo's version of the Galaxy S III Mini, as rumored back in February, and released under the moniker Galaxy Exhibit, as indicated in the above shot.

Samsung Releases Kernel Source For Its Galaxy Mega 6.3 (I9205) Ahead Of Launch
Since their announcement last month, we haven't heard too much about the Galaxy Mega 5.8 and 6.3 (barring rumors of a delayed release). That doesn't mean Samsung plans on breaking its pattern of timely (or early, depending on your perspective) kernel source code releases. Keeping with form, Samsung has released kernel source for the 6.3" Mega's I9205 (LTE) variant.
There's no sign of the Mega's I9200 version (or the Mega 5.8) just yet, but given Samsung's track record, we can expect it any time now. In the meantime, those of you wishing to scoop up a handful of brand new kernel source need only hit the link below.

Serajr Power Toggles Brings Settings to the Small App World
Ever since the introduction of multi-window with things like Cornerstone and floating apps, there has been a somewhat radical change in the overall Android UI. Granted, not everyone can take advantage of this as most manufacturers do not include such features in their brand UI experience. Samsung is one of the only ones that actually does this with their multi window capabilities. Not too long ago, Sony decided to jump in the bandwagon with their own concept of multi-window usage with a concept called “mini apps.” For those not familiar, these mini apps act similar to active widgets, providing you with some functionality that would otherwise require an app taking the entire screen use. Sony includes a few in their stock ROMs for several devices running ICS and up, and the community has been working hard to come up with more. Having said that, XDA Recognized Themer serajr just took that “need” for more and turned it into a reality.
Serajr Power Toggles is the closest thing you will get to having full control over most settings of your device without having to actually go into Settings. By activating the small app, you will get access to normally used toggles such as WiFi, BT, GPS as well as other not-so-used toggles such as USB Debugging and battery information. There are 23 toggles in total, so you can literally access practically everything you need without having to clutter your home screens. This comes as a bit of a relief for those who want to have the Quick Toggles that come with 4.2.2, but that are not willing to go into an AOSP ROM.
A quick warning from the dev though. This was originally coded with the latest Sony Add-on SDK. Patches to the SystemUI.apk need to be added since the toggles that manage system functions do not work out of the box with the app (being as each device has specific code to control these settings). Having said that, patching the APK is relatively straightforward and the dev provides a step by step walkthrough to help you get this accomplished. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to rearrange or even use many of these toggles if you do not do this.
Please try them out on your device and share
Here´s my Serajr Power Toggles small application for all Sony JB/ICS Small App ready devices.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Shows Its Rough And Rugged Façade In New Leak
![1[6]](http://i2.wp.com/cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/nexusae0_164.png "1[6]")
Throughout the history of the modern smartphone, those who wanted something that could take a beating but keep going were left with one option: buy a device with at least year-old specs. For some reason, manufacturers just couldn't get behind the idea of releasing an ultra-ruggedized device with cutting-edge specs. That has slowly started to change as of late with devices like the Sony Xperia Z, and now Samsung is looking to join the party and with a rough-and-rugged device featuring top-tier specs.
This is, of course, the rumored Galaxy S4 Active. Bearing more than just Samsung's flagship namesake, the Active appears to also share the powerhouse device's spec list point-for-point, which includes a 5-inch 1080p display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 600.
