This $20 gadget lets you use your iPhone 7 in your car now that your aux-in port is useless

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4fe7d0bbc78c3b078460cf9f2631bb80.jpg You've spent nearly a decade plugging your iPhone into your car using an aux-in port, allowing you to play all the music you want while charging your handset at the same time. Then Apple goes ahead and ditches the 3.5mm audio jack. Sure you can use the dongle included in the box to connect your phone to your old 3.5mm audio cable, but then your battery is going to take a hit since you can't charge your iPhone 7 at the same time. Here's a better option: The $20 iClever Wireless Bluetooth FM Transmitter works in any car on the planet and lets you charge your phone while you listen to your tune…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bbb28f8fa25f581033db4979a3862582.png There's just something about TV services that get human blood boiling, and it seems DirecTV's much hyped DirecTV Now cable alternative hasn't been able to shake that curse. The service's Twitter account and support forums have been absolutely buried with user complaints ranging from channels not working to customers not being able to even sign in to the service whatsoever. + Continue reading...

This $150 crowdfunder solves all the MacBook Pro’s worst problems

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/5cc40a63c4a2f03d26e9d7554db4e5ef.jpg When Apple launched the new MacBook Pro, it was rightly hounded for choosing to only give the power laptop USB-C ports. It's a trade-off: each USB-C port can do much more than any other port, as it can carry data, video and power through one cable, but you're going to need a bunch of dongles to make your MacBook work with other devices. Sure, companies have already launched all-in-one docking stations for the new MacBook Pro, but having to carry around a docking station that gives you the same functionality as a laptop from 2011 is a little annoying. But put all those ports into a devi…

“Ok Google” hotword finally on its way to Android Auto

It’s certainly a little strange that Android Auto hasn’t had the “Ok Google” hands-free voice detection available, especially when you consider how dangerous it is to fiddle with your smartphone while driving. But, it looks like that’s all changing now.

Thought Google’s Tango augmented reality technology was cool in the Lenovo Phab2 Pro? Well, it might be on its way to the Moto Z as well, but in the form of a Moto Mod. Details after the break.

It isn’t always plain sailing when you own a modern smartphone.

Huawei launched the Mate 9 to relatively good reviews, offering up a no-compromise smartphone with premium hardware and a premium design. Even though it’s a little pricey compared to what we usually see from Huawei, the price tag was absolutely justified for what you get.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1499b08a75fe4838111189499421e94c.jpg The Galaxy Note 7 was discontinued, but not all buyers brought in their brand new phablets for exchange or refund. Since discontinuing the product, Samsung issued an update that limits the maximum battery charge to 60% of its original capacity, a move meant to decrease the explosion risk. But the company will not stop there to prevent you from using the phone. Samsung's next move is to brick the handset. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/30f669c7234fddb21fd9906dfe53878c.jpg Smartphones have come a long way over the past few years. Of that, there is no question. These tiny devices now pack as much power as a laptop computer, they pack cameras that are better than some dedicated point-and-shoot units, and they can run complex apps that would have been unthinkable just a year or two ago. There's one feature that your smartphone will never include out of the box, however, and that's where the FLIR ONE Thermal Imager for iOS comes in. This awesome accessory adds a thermal camera to any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with a Lightning port, and it's discounted on Amazon r…

After a brief lull, Apple’s advertising game is finally back on track

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/506d73b6ad3a3bbf18eaef3d3c2345e8.jpg During the throes of Apple's epic legal battle with Samsung a few years ago, one of the more interesting nuggets of information to emerge -- aside of course from a bevy of iPhone prototypes -- was that Apple executive Phil Schiller was extremely unhappy with Apple's advertising efforts. If you recall, Samsung released a string of clever ads that targeted Apple and its fan base directly. The ads were creative, funny and, for the first time, put Apple on the defensive. While we had seen anti-Apple ads from the likes of Microsoft before, Samsung's efforts were far more effective. Continue…

Before you start worrying about your privacy or over encryption policies, you should know that this move was largely in the works. The Senate failed on Wednesday to block or delay rule changes that would expand the FBI’s hacking powers. That means that starting on Thursday, the FBI will have the authority to remotely access any computer, in the US, and even overseas. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b62d93830032b6f718ffc72fdf44cd68.jpg The Apollo 17 landing site is the last place where humans hung out on the Moon, and now we're going back. Well, not us exactly, but a couple of fancy robots may soon get the chance to cruise around the historic landscape and check out all the junk we silly meat creatures left behind. PTScientists, a Berlin-based group, is teaming up with private launch company Spaceflight in a contract that would send a rover-toting lander to the Moon. But sending robots to the moon isn't the team's only aim; there's also the matter of winning Google's Lunar XPRIZE. Continue reading... Trending righ…

Before today, buying one should have come with a sense of shame and regret, but now that there's a Product (RED) version, at least you can pick one up and know that you're doing some good for the world, even if it's at the expense of good taste.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/20c2953cd998da087529c2d5006c31e5.jpg Don't fight the future. 3.5mm analog audio jacks are going away. It's happening. Everyone freaked out when Apple dumped the 3.5mm audio jack on its new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but other vendors are already opting to lose this antiquated single-use port in favor of modern digital options like USB-C and Lightning. Of course, none of this means you have to ditch your favorite headphones. Instead, pick up an Mpow Streambot Bluetooth Adapter on Amazon and turn your current headphones into wireless headphones. They also work with any powered speaker, or in your car to add Bluetooth to older ca…

Now, a Boot Camp driver update has fixed the strange bug, AppleInsider reports. The odd glitch caused loud popping sounds for Boot Camp users while using Windows on their MacBooks. The peculiar sound persisted regardless of the actual volume settings of the computer, and some users claimed that the annoying pop was physically damaging the speakers in their computers.

Users and mods of /r/the_donald have tread a fine line between enthusiastic support for a political candidate and online abuse, which has caused all sorts of problems within Reddit.
