There are more phones than ever, and the devices come from all over. OpenSignal now counts over 24,000 distinct Android devices, up from closer to 12,000 back in 2013.

Stare into android long enough, it stares back into you.

iMessage Discriminates

I recently switched from an iPhone to Android, and discovered shortly thereafter that my phone number was still associated with iMessage, meaning that any time someone with an iPhone tried texting me, I’d receive nothing, and they’d get a “Delivered” receipt in their Messages app as though everything were working as expected. (source)

I’d say at least once a week for quite a number of months now I’ve come into issues texting friends with iPhones. One of us will inevitably have issues with text messages, and resort to another form of chat. I had been blaming it on the carriers, and having too many messaging apps on my phone. (Seriously, 2014 instant messaging is about as bad as 1998) Here’s hoping apple fixes this soon.

We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Carriers

The goal of the BATMAN project is to create a much lower overhead and more dynamic method of collecting routing information at run time. Beyond the BATMAN routing protocol, there have been discussions about applying machine learning to add predictive routing with information from Android’s accelerometers, gravity sensors, gyroscopes, and rotational vector sensors to predict where it can find the next node in the network.

Initial testing is promising. Each smartphone in the network can operate up to about 100 feet away from its nearest neighbor. VoIP works over up to 5 hops. Initial tests with 30 nodes did not reach the limit of the number of channels supported by 802.11, but developers expect to find one when a larger number of nodes are employed, and hope to solve it with a new routing »
