The cheapest way to experience virtual reality
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 24 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2eefebb8667109efd3233db2a5ccb362.jpg Look, we're going to level with you: sticking your smartphone in a Google Cardboard setup is absolutely nothing like the high-end virtual reality experiences offered by devices like the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. But those VR headsets and the computers that power them can cost you thousands of dollars. As great as virtual reality is, not everyone wants to part with that kind of cash. If you want to check out VR for as little cash as possible, the DIY Google Cardboard 3D Glasses Kit from OYOVR is the way to go. Believe it or not, it's only $5.50 on Amazon with free Prime shipping.

Pokemon Go: Easiest and hardest Pokemon to catch
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 24 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/db725011eed33e0964ab96cb1c33194a.pngAlthough Pokemon Go bares only a passing resemblance to the original handheld Pokemon games, there's one thing that hasn't changed: rare Pokemon are still incredibly difficult to catch. There's nothing more stressful than finding a Lapras or a Venusaur and then realizing you only have a few Poke Balls left. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to get around this — it's just part of the game. But at the very least, you can know beforehand which Pokemon are more likely to give you trouble than others. (more…) Trending right now: Google’s new Nexus phones will be just as fast as t…

Whenever Samsung releases a new flagship device, it almost always takes the crown for having the best display ever. Then Samsung releases a newer flagship a few months later, and then that phone has the best display ever.

Having a premium and expensive smartphone in harsh environments is almost always a bad idea. Something bad is bound to happen to break the device, without fail.

Google takes further steps to get rid of Adobe Flash with the release of Chrome 53
by Guest Brad Ward- 0 replies
- 22 views
Google announced today that it’s taking further moves to “de-emphasize” Flash by blocking background Flash elements in September with the release of Chrome 53. With this move, at least on Chrome, users should start seeing page load times increase drastically, at least on websites that support Flash elements in the background.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/875799880badaf9f24d7c4a06858a1d7.jpg Backup cameras are fantastic, but unless you have a newer car you probably don't have one. Then there are in-car digital video recording systems that are also an awesome feature, but they're typically only on expensive luxury cars.

Apple’s next wearable might not be a new Apple Watch

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9bbca55aace384f14413f721692017f7.jpgApple is often advised to launch new products that will ensure the company’s future beyond the iPhone, but the company is yet to make any announcements. The Apple Watch marks the latest new product entry for the company, a highly successful product that’s often downplayed in the media. Reports based on indirect evidence and Apple’s own statements suggest that the Apple car or VR – or both? – might be the company’s next big things. B ut a fresh report out of Asia indicates Apple might launch a whole new product next year, one that’s not related to the car or VR industries. Instead, we’re lookin…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d1dd13900024c1447bfa3f407cdb2f7c.jpgIt's been years since Flash did anything useful, unless you count munching on all my RAM as 'useful.' Just like the Java plugin before it, Flash is dying a slow and ungraceful death, and Chrome is trying to help it on its way a little. In a blog post today, Google announced the next step in ridding Flash from Chrome. Starting with Chrome 53 in September, the browser will automatically block background Flash content. In December, Google will go further, and only show the HTML5 version of websites. If a site is Flash-only (because apparently that's still a thing!) you will have to specifically e…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f6023d0de57d5fa301b1190d9cf74adc.jpgA new report that offers more details about Apple’s rumored 2017 iPhone redesign also explains why not all reports agree on the number of iPhones Apple wanted to launch this year. Initial iPhone 7 rumors claimed Apple would have three devices in stores this fall, including one 4.7-inch model and two 5.5-inch phablets. Only a few days ago a high-resolution video leak featured dummy versions for all three devices. However, other reports claim that Apple will unveil only two iPhones this year, just as it has done starting with the iPhone 6. (more…) Trending right now: Ultimate Pokemon G…

Galaxy Note 7 preorders are stronger than the Galaxy S7
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies

The Note 7 is shaping up to be a fantastic device, and early adopters seem to agree with that. New data from Samsung’s preorders in Korea show that the Note 7 is the company’s most preordered phone ever, even beating out the Galaxy S7 by more than double. That’s some serious hype for a phone.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e4c999f93d91a49676fc5e6436dc6513.pngThere's never been a game like No Man's Sky before, and there might never be a game like it again. But it's important to remember that, despite all of the hype and expectations, No Man's Sky is still just that: a game. It's not the future of entertainment, it's not the culmination of decades of game development and it's not going to change your life. It's a game. But it's also different than any other game before it — subtly so in some ways, drastically so in others. Although I've only spent around 8-10 hours with the game (half pre-patch, half post-patch), I'm going to do my best to explain w…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/eafef25b639ab4e23b1e702a2eb96b56.jpgThe release of Pokemon GO last month ushered in the biggest mobile app craze the world has ever seen. In just a few weeks, the addictive app broke all sorts of mobile download records while simultaneously turning players into quasi-zombies constantly on the hunt for virtual monsters. In turn, we’ve seen a steady stream of stories regarding Pokemon GO players congregating in all sorts of places at all times of the night. Sometimes, these stories are lighthearted and fun, like the time when a swarm of players in New York amassed in Central Park and inadvertently created a stampede that was seemi…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cd7e7424b9a1dc275efef6412356442d.jpgIs Pokemon Go respecting your privacy when it comes to the amount of data it collects? That’s a question you should ask yourself considering that the game does require you to provide the game unlimited access to your location data and camera. And you’d think you should not be worried about Niantic swiping over your data for malicious use – or even spying purposes. But Niantic’s CEO has already been one of the central figures of a major privacy scandal while at Google, the Google Maps-related Wi-Fi sniffing “program.” You may not remember the whole thing, and you may think it’s not real, but a …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d5028489f43c5f1e1db43057465a0da4.jpgApple’s radical iPhone design you wanted this year isn’t happening. That much is abundantly clear. But Apple is working on a brand new iPhone for next year, multiple rumors have said, which makes plenty of sense considering that 2017 will mark the iPhone’s 10th anniversary, and Apple may want to celebrate it in style with a hot new iPhone launch. A new report from Asia indicates that one of the changes coming to the iPhone concerns the chassis. Apple is reportedly dumping metal for glass next year for at least one iPhone version, and Foxconn is already working on parts that would meet Apple’s …

People are hunting Pokemon left and right, but the game is riddled with bugs that can hinder your overall experience.
