Samsung Pay Mini trademark application filed in Europe
by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies
- 22 views
A little over a month ago word surfaced that Samsung was working on a new version of their Samsung Pay platform that would work on non-Galaxy Android smartphones and would even cross the divide to work on iOS devices. The pending release of the new application appears to have been firmed up a bit with […] Come comment on this article: Samsung Pay Mini trademark application filed in Europe Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f6427ee47128f09e276c88cc9a6f8424._.gif News via TalkAndroid

The Galaxy Note 7 might jump to a 6-inch screen
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 26 views
It’s all but confirmed that Samsung is going to be skipping the Note 6 and calling the 2016 model the Galaxy Note 7, but does that mean that we’ll see two generations worth of upgrades for this year’s phone? It’s a definite possibility, especially if you consider a new screen size a big change. Most […] Come comment on this article: The Galaxy Note 7 might jump to a 6-inch screen Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/278bb333ce7dd35e9411bcbef1b39758._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Space Scooter is a new take on scooters that doesn’t need to be pushed or charged
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0d3cafb14c04942fdcb95d723c548ab5.jpg Razor scooters were hugely popular for a long period of time because they were easier to ride than a skateboard but far more portable and convenient than a bicycle. They're still pretty popular these days, but new options like hoverboards have come along to still much of the buzz. Traditional scooters might be a bit old and tired these days, but the Space Scooter Ride On is a fresh new take on scooters that never needs to be pushed by foot, but also doesn't need to be charger or refueled like motor-powered scooters do. So how does it work? (more…) http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMir…

This might be Microsoft’s most annoying Windows 10 upgrade prompt yet

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/637b14df07294a92394b121e4a3eb2eb.jpgImagine this: you’re watching the latest episode of Game of Thrones on your Windows laptop or desktop, paying bills online, or you’re catching up with some work, and an annoying image appears taking over your entire screen. It looks like a blue screen of death at first – or a new version of it – and you might panic for a few seconds until you read the prompt on that blue background. Your computer is safe, your documents have not been lost. It’s just Microsoft being even more annoying than ever with its Windows 10 upgrade notifications.

Images of Tesla Model S crash emerge as investigation continues
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e4bd5f1f2d8aa7ad2ab14cf4380bc18a.jpgThis past May, a driver of a Tesla Model S was tragically killed when his car slammed into a tractor-trailer that had veered into his lane. At the time, the Tesla had its Autopilot software engaged, a fact which has since prompted an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) so that they can examine "the design and performance of any driving aids in use at the time of the crash." Recently, ABC Action News ran a news segment that happens to include images of the aftermath of the crash while also providing some new details surrounding what happened before and …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/61c4c9b2f6bdd676064b7081bd5ad31f.jpgEverybody loves free stuff, but free stuff is hard to come by. Most retailers and suppliers actually want you to pay for their goods and services, believe it or not, but every once in a while, a promotion will come along with free stuff in store. Earlier this month, Money went to the trouble of making a list of all the days throughout the year that you are guaranteed to get free things from your favorite stores, and it's quite a sight to behold.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7af4babddb79c534e461a95f2cf80540.jpg We've told you time and time again that you absolutely must have a dash cam in your car. Recording all the action as you drive could mean the difference between proving you're not at fault after an accident and having to cough up thousands over the years when your insurance premium goes up because the other driver refused to take responsibility. So now you know dash cameras are important, but not all dash cams are created equal. Check out the Goluk T1 Wireless Wi-Fi Smartphone Control Dash Cam, which is available on Amazon for $130.

Although most fans of Android are likely looking forward to the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in August or possibly Google’s new Nexus devices later in the fall, they will still have to contend with Apple’s annual update to their iPhone devices.

It looks like BlackBerry will be creating a couple of more Android devices under the codenames of Neon, Argon, and Mercury. This report isn’t too surprising. Despite analysts suspecting that BlackBerry would stop producing hardware, BlackBerry CEO John Chen said that the company was exclusively using Android for their devices in 2016, implying that we’d […] Come comment on this article: BlackBerry is said to be working on three new Android phones Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/836645339a3b528e3ac740a54030089b._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Is this Jon Snow’s real name?
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 22 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8e9619aff3a5bcd87acc835b8d39aa3d.jpgLast summer, the main topic of conversation for Game of Thrones fans was Jon Snow’s upcoming resurrection. The closer we got to winter, the clearer it became that Jon Snow wasn't dead. This year we’ve got yet another Jon Snow-related conundrum: who is Jon Snow? HBO closed its sixth season with a clear hint that Jon Snow is the son of Lyanna Stark. Then, out of the blue, it confirmed an old fan theory that Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen are his parents. So the next thing we need to talk about is Jon Snow’s real name. Thankfully, a diehard Game of Thrones fan has a sound theory about that. (mo…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3a2eefb47896a17f6d6b99ddfdff6abb.jpgThe last time I had to buy an HDTV myself was before I joined the BGR Deals team and to be honest, I didn't do a very good job of hunting for a bargain. It was shortly after all the Black Friday sales had finished — I couldn't be bothered to deal with all that madness — and I just wanted to pick a TV and be done with it. So I did... and I regret it every time I come across a good HDTV deal that I share with BGR's readers. Here are two new ones to make me jealous.

Han Solo movie has the best Star Wars script ever, Star Wars insider says

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6986779b5e1ea829e3079ca09047641d.jpgHan Solo is the Star Wars character who got many people hooked to the saga. He’s got some of the best lines in the original trilogy, but also in The Force Awakens, and we all hated seeing him die -- which further proves his huge influence on Star Wars movies. Kylo Ren needed to kill Han Solo though, so that we all take him seriously as a villain. With all that in mind, we have high expectations for the standalone Han Solo story that’s going to hit theaters in 2018. And someone says the Han Solo movie might have the best Star Wars script ever. The only problem with that statement is that it com…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c1b82f8141e4d32fccf7f46c07ec9d4f.jpgApple keeps telling us that iPad is the future of computing, and that may indeed be the case. The iPad Pro can certainly replace a laptop for many of our daily computing needs, but laptops are still the better choice when it comes to work. MacBooks are still setting the tone in the business, while Windows 10 is allowing OEMs to offer users exciting 2-in-1 notebooks that operate both as a tablet and a laptop. While sales aren’t what they used to be for most notebook makers, this year’s generation of laptops are shaping up to be more exciting than ever. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/Met…

Apple has a brilliant way to make one-handed iPhone use great again
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 30 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/db2b877bfc574ced0fb9caf699196ad5.jpgRemember how Apple used to make a big deal about the iPhone being the only smartphone that you could easily operate with one hand? It was a constant argument against increasing the iPhone's screen size. But the company eventually launched iPhones that have displays bigger than the four-inch screen Apple used for years, and one-hand operation isn’t as easy. Apple created a new home button gesture called Reachability (image above) that’s helps, but some people rarely use it. The company now has an even better idea for fixing one-hand operation on the iPhone, which might be better than shrinking …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/da5f11c9018d67e0c62e6d4a9cfd967a.jpg How many times have you heard someone make the same tired old joke about how they wish they had a job that would pay them to be wrong all the time just like a weather man on the news? The truth is that predicting weather patterns is incredibly difficult because there are some many variables that can all change in the blink of an eye. Of course, appreciating how hard it is to predict the weather doesn't make it any less annoying when your local weather man gets it wrong.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f7c861e5c4521a3237928900578637b8.pngI'm not typically one for customization. When an RPG gives me the option to retool my character—his face, his size, his shape, the color of his nose hairs—I just hit the "randomize" button and take whatever the game spits out. It's not that I don't see the value in customization, it just doesn't really do anything for me... which is why I was so surprised to find myself obsessed with the newly introduced Xbox Design Lab.
