Last month, the Pokemon Go team announced that it would celebrate the game's one-year anniversary by hosting a real-world event in Chicago's Grant Park. Dubbed Pokemon Go Fest, the event is scheduled to take place on July 22nd, where attendees will find increased Pokemon encounters, special PokeStops, unique challenges and have the opportunity to earn an exclusive medal. Unsurprisingly, tickets sold out within minutes, but for the millions of trainers who can't attend, Niantic has some good news: the event will be streamed live on Twitch and YouTube throughout the day.

by Guest Justin Herrick- 0 replies

It didn’t take long for OnePlus to squash the 911 reboot bug. Multiple owners of the OnePlus 5 have reported a major bug with their phones in which, when dialing 911, the phone reboots rather than connecting them with emergency services. One day after the story broke, OnePlus has issued a software update that rids […] Come comment on this article: A software update fixing the 911 reboot bug on the OnePlus 5 is rolling out now Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Opinion: Why does the OnePlus 5 exist, again?
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies

We’re approaching four years of life with OnePlus, and its 2017 flagship confuses me. Back in 2014, OnePlus was a company with a single mission: create a flagship phone better than current flagship phones at a fraction of the cost. The OnePlus One was slugging it out with the Galaxy S5, LG G3, and HTC […] Come comment on this article: Opinion: Why does the OnePlus 5 exist, again? Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

The International Space Station (ISS) has orbited the earth for 16 years now, but a scant few of the world’s population ever get the chance to experience it for themselves, instead, that privilege was limited to scientists and other highly educated folk conducting experiments and collecting data, until now.

Exclusive: I might know the truth about Touch ID on the iPhone 8
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies

With less than two months to go before Apple is expected to take the wraps off its 2017 iPhone lineup, it's a bit peculiar that there are still so many questions that remain unanswered. By this time in years past, little if any mystery still remained. This year, we don't even know what Apple's new iPhones are going to be called. We don't know the iPhone 8's real name, we don't know exactly how the new oddly shaped OLED display will work, we don't know if the phone's release is delayed or not, we don't know about all the new signature features, we don't know exactly how the new rear camera will enhance AR, we don't know exactly how the front-facing camera's 3D scanning fea…

Amazon has a rare sale on Apple’s official Smart Battery Case for the iPhone
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

There are about a million battery cases out there for Apple’s iPhone line, ranging dramatically in price, design, and features. Here’s one you can get for just $21 that’ll double your iPhone’s battery life, for example. Of course, nothing will ever integrate with an Apple device as well as another Apple device, which is one of the reasons so many iPhone users opt for the Apple iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case. This sleek case adds plenty of juice to your phone, and it also has a Lightning port so you don’t need to carry a separate cable. It also has a very cool feature that displays the remaining charge of your case on the iPhone itself — no third-party case can do that. Ap…

HMD Global’s new Nokia is more and more exciting than the old Nokia that refused to make Android phones. The new company is currently selling a bunch of affordable Nexus-like devices that run a pretty vanilla version of Android, and it’s preparing an assault on flagship handsets from Apple, Samsung, and everyone else. We’ve known for a while that two high-end handsets are in the works, including the Nokia 8 and Nokia 9, and the former was briefly confirmed. Continue reading...

OnePlus says it will fix the OnePlus 5’s dangerous 911 bug
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 14 views
A few days ago, a OnePlus 5 discovered a terrifying bug that made it impossible to call an emergency number, posting the entire story on Reddit. Instead of successfully making a 911 call, the phone would reboot, which is quite a scary scenario for anyone looking to get help in a situation that requires calling that dreaded number. OnePlus apparently fixed the problem, and it’ll roll out a software update to deliver the fix to all OnePlus 5 units. Continue reading...

While not as audibly terrinble as they used to be, Beats headphones are still the opposite of understated refinement. The brand is all about ostentatious consumption, so it actually makes perfect sense that Beats, Kylie Jenner, and a French fasion house are teaming up to produce the worst special edition of the year.

Walmart’s new robot can recognise the misery on your face
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies

The days of being able to unhappily make your way through a Walmart with limited human interaction may soon be coming to an end. The retail giant is said to be developing facial recognition software designed to identify shoppers in checkout lines who appear to be unhappy or even angry. Once an agitated customer is detected, store employees will receive an alert whereupon they can go and see if there's anything they can do to perhaps alleviate any problems the customer may have.

Scientists detect ‘strange signals’ coming from nearby star
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 11 views
When it comes to the search for life outside of our Solar System, there are a number of ways we could eventually discover it. Exploring with probes, orbiters, and robots is often how sci-fi movies and books explain humanity's discovery of extraterrestrial life, but in reality we might first detect the presence of an intelligent alien race simply by listening. A new discovery of unexplained radio signals coming from a nearby red dwarf star has researchers puzzled, and the possibility of the signals being generated by someone rather than something is on the list.

Just one week after the sheriff’s department in Cecil County, Md., got its brand new drone up and running, it was asked to investigate a case of stolen construction equipment. Authorities in neighboring states suspected half a million worth of bobcats and other small machines were hidden in a house in Elkton. So the Cecil County Sheriff sent his Typhoon H Pro to investigate. The drone flew over the property and police spotted several pieces of equipment behind the property. Continue reading...

Samsung partnered up with US carriers to offer people buying one Galaxy S8 an extra Galaxy S8 free of charge, as long as you trade in your current smartphone. Pay $100 more and you can get a free Galaxy S8+ instead — here are all the details. But this deal still requires you to pay for two cellular plans, one for each phone.
