Best Verizon phones

Verizon takes a lot of flack, with many shouting at them over high prices, too many fees and other complaints. While that crowd might be right, there’s one thing you cannot deny: Verizon has some of the best coverage nationwide. If you’re someone who is on the road a lot for work, travels all over […] Come comment on this article: Best Verizon phones Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f5a9ed6e6671e87f31ec164d1d269b3a._.gif News via TalkAndroid

According to The New York Times, Apple discovered that NSO Group, an intelligence gathering firm out of Israel, was taking advantage of multiple vulnerabilities that allowed them to read texts and emails, track calls, record audio, collect passwords and even track a user's location.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7991b116048c98c47fc91a5d2862d9f6.jpgWhatsApp will start sharing data with its parent company Facebook shortly, in spite of the promises the company made when it was first acquired. Facebook will get access to your phone number and other data so that it can deliver better friend suggestions... and serve targeted ads. But you’ll be able to opt out and stop WhatsApp from sharing any of your info with Facebook. In this post, we'll tell you exactly how to do it.

Android 7.0 Nougat has already been ported to a phone that doesn’t support it

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/85b5ec9f75afdd695913b01911808da8.jpgA few days ago I told you that the Nexus 5 had just died. It became obsolete, officially, since Google isn’t supporting the handset anymore. Owners of one of the best and most popular Nexus devices ever made, the Nexus 5, will never get the Android 7.0 Nougat release, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be stuck with Marshmallow forever. Hardcore users not afraid to tinker with their devices will get Nougat running on the Nexus 5 in the near future thanks to a custom ROM from Android hackers. In fact, the first Nougat-based build has already been released. (more…) Trending right now: New vi…

Crazy $16 wireless doorbell kit generates power kinetically and never needs a battery

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2bca1c89addf082c9b3783818940f12a.jpg Okay seriously, this is pretty cool. Amazon recently began selling a new wireless doorbell system by Nekteck, but there's something special about this particular kit. The front door button and the chime box communicate with each other wirelessly, and neither one needs a button. The explanation on the chime box side of things is simple: it plugs into a standard outlet. Where the button is concerned, however, it actually generates power kinetically to transmit wireless signals so it never needs a battery. How cool is that? Best of all, we've got a coupon for you that drops the price down to…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e969ec99eb0d20b28fd1a8e8111fccd7.jpgWhatsApp users were rattled more than two years ago when they heard Facebook was ready to pay $19 billion to buy the popular messaging app. The worry was that WhatsApp will share data with Facebook, which would learn even more details about you. At the time, WhatsApp made it clear that something like that won’t happen. But as it turns out, WhatsApp lied.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f0612f613e87db328b7871d592016bd2.jpgSmartphone social apps including Facebook, Snapchat and instant messengers have seen tremendous growth in recent years thanks to the iPhone and Android. Apple revolutionized the smartphone business with the iPhone and the App Store, creating a massive mobile software business. But now that iPhone sales are slowing, Apple is looking to monetize its services by launching compelling apps and services for its customers.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e7d4a9f549a0bb66664c6bdd98a5240e.jpgApple customers are generally a shockingly loyal bunch. The company's high repeat customer rate can be attributed to a combination of factors that concern iPhones themselves as well as Apple's industry-leading customer service. Dealing with Apple's customer care department has always been a pleasure compared to dealing with rival companies, and iPhones themselves have historically been very reliable, offering a consistently smooth user experience that people love. But now, a new study suggests that things may be changing for the worse where the iPhone user experience is concerned. (more…) …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7c2873b97475bfb80d3310e13777d0bd.jpgWhen Siri was originally released on the iPhone 4S back in 2011, the reviews were somewhat lukewarm. On the positive side, having an intelligent assistant baked into a massively popular smartphone was a huge leap forward. On the other hand, Siri didn’t always perform as advertised. Even more problematic was that Siri's feature set was purposefully stunted by Apple. In fact, the Siri Apple released in 2011 wasn’t even as capable as the Siri app that Siri’s original developers had previously released on the App Store. What’s more, it eventually became apparent that rival AI systems from the like…

Forget about eating through your smartphone's battery... all that data adds up fast. You can easily eat through your monthly data plan or even worse, if you're traveling internationally, you can pack a ridiculous amount for roaming.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2853f41c767c3f3f2dbe76b904111745.jpgOne of the reasons why Facebook is so beloved by advertisers is because the social networking giant has access to all sorts of granular data about your background and interests. All the more interesting is that Facebook even has a good idea as to your political leanings, even if you rarely, if ever, “like” or express an interest in a particular candidate or political cause. Interestingly enough, there’s an extremely simple way to see what side of the political spectrum Facebook thinks you fall on. It all goes back to advertising dollars, after all, so you better believe that Facebook has a goo…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c1b82f8141e4d32fccf7f46c07ec9d4f.jpgApple's upcoming Macbooks need to be a major refresh to the lineup, since the laptop selection is looking a little old lately. We're expecting Touch ID and a new OLED button panel to come to the 2016 Macbook Pro, but code hidden in the latest version of macOS Sierra hints at one additional feature. According to code uncovered by 9to5Mac, macOS Sierra will support USB 3.1 Gen 2, better known as the upgraded version of USB-C. Apple introduced USB-C ports into its lineup with the 2015 Retina Macbook, and it's a safer bet than ever that those ports will be coming to the new Macbook Pro. (more……

Regardless of whatever protections guarded that NSA server, hackers found a security hole to get in and steal critical documents. The same thing could happen to encrypted services that would feature a backdoor for law enforcement. But governments around the world still think they’d be able to handle such terrifying scenarios, with France and Germany being the latest nations looking to gain access to private encrypted messages exchanged over the internet by terror …
