Hugo Barra leaves Xiaomi, says China has ‘taken a huge toll on my life’

Smartphone startup Xiaomi began life as a peculiar beast. From within the safety of China, the company did all it could to copy every last detail of Apple's devices and marketing strategy, knowing there was precious little Apple could do to stop it. When Apple's portfolio was exhausted, Xiaomi moved on to Samsung, copying a large portion of its device lineup as well. But then, the company realized that it could only go so far selling phones in China and a handful of other markets. As growth was on track to slow substantially, Xiaomi knew that it had to work its way into other top-tier markets around the world. And so Xiaomi Global was born. The Xiaomi subsidiary has hi…

Samsung’s making sure the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8 won’t explode

Samsung on Monday announced the results of its Galaxy Note 7 investigation. The South Korean giant blamed the phone’s batteries, saying that two independent battery issues caused overheating and explosions before and after the first recall. The subliminal messages were pretty clear, though. Samsung did not take appropriate steps to ensure the batteries would not become a safety threat. The company acknowledged that it’s taking “responsibility for our failure to ultimately identify and verify the issues for battery design before launch of the Note 7.” Continue reading...

Samsung on Monday finally explained what went wrong with the batteries that went inside the Galaxy Note 7, turning the hugely popular phone into a fire hazard that had to be pulled merely two months after it was unveiled. A report last week said Samsung would blame the two distinct batteries it used in the phone, and that’s what the company did. As strange as it may sound, two independent major battery issues were discovered with two distinct suppliers. Continue reading...

Following the Pittsburgh Steelers' victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown quickly made headlines for all the wrong reasons. During the midst of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's victory speech, Brown took his iPhone out, fired up Facebook Live and began broadcasting Tomlin's speech in real-time for all the world to see. Comically, Tomlin at one point urged his players to keep a low profile and to stay off social media while Brown and a handful of teammates were hamming it up for the camera. Continue reading...

AT&T is steaming ahead at full speed with its plan to merge with media company Time Warner. That's probably a good thing for the company's bottom line, as the wireless business is losing customers at speed. According to an analyst note from Cowen and Company Equity Research, seen by Fierce Wireless, AT&T is leading other carriers in customers departing every quarter. "“When asking postpaid subscribers that have been with their carrier (less than) two years which carrier did they previously have, the top answer for current Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon respondents was ‘previously AT&T,’ whereas in previous surveys it’s been more mixed," the note reportedly sa…

We've all heard the term "cord cutting" more times than we can stand, but it often seems like, despite the fact that many cable and satellite customers talk about it, very few people are actually axing their pay-TV services in favor of something else. A new study suggests that while it might not seem like many people are actually going back to over-the-air TV, the movement is actually gaining some serious traction. According to the report, a full 15% of households with broadband connections have gone back to TV via antenna exclusively. Continue reading...

In its first month alone, DTV Now scooped up 200,000 subscribers, and that number doesn’t include people still in their trial period. 100% of that number includes paying customers.
