    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ea7cc1bdd337b2e259e5c1c38a0d0f25.png When Google I/O takes place this May, one of the topics that will likely be covering is the release of a new set of tools from Google intended to help small businesses cope with the challenges of “Mobilegeddon.” Google’s managing director of small-to-medium business sales, Yong Su Kim, revealed the new Test My Site with Google diagnostic tool will roll out in May, which is the same month as Google I/O, so the odds seem pretty good the event will coincide with the launch of the new tool. For those not familiar, Mobilegeddon was a change that Google introduced a little less than a year a…

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8cc5fbd669d28fef4aacb08d2c132684.jpg We’ve seen smartphones with LED flash, dual-LED flash, and very few with triple-LED flash, but we’ve never seen one with 10-LED flash. Dual-LED flash is probably the most common on modern-day smartphones, but Meizu thinks that’s far too few. The upcoming high-end Meizu Pro 6 is rumored to include 10-LED flash, which would be a first for any manufacturer. If we glance at some recently leaked photos, the device features a rear-facing flash directly below the camera lens. If you take a closer look at some of the pictures, you’ll notice a ring that goes around the flash, which likely hous…

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/553a01526d57bcba35f9d713956928b6.jpgThe Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge came pre-loaded with Marshmallow, the Sprint Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge got Marshmallow in March, and now the Sprint Galaxy S5 is getting the same update over-the-air.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c8f444a0ac6d6c6e5e291eb1127740d5.jpg T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom may want T-Mobile to use the same strategy used to gain popularity in the United States, but in the Netherlands. The news comes from Bloomberg, who believes that Deutsche Telekom wants T-Mobile Netherlands to be organized like the T-Mobile in the United States. Over recent years, T-Mobile’s Un-Carrier movement led to a birth in success, which ultimately resulted in T-Mobile rising to third largest carrier in the United States leaving only Verizon and AT&T ahead. On the other hand, T-Mobile Netherlands has been experiencing a reverse effect. They…

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/edc8f9edb8d702f105a27e17eb055c63.jpgHave you recently seen a book during your morning commute that looked too outrageously offensive to be real? If so, you can thank comedian Scott Rogowsky, who recently invented some hilarious book titles, printed fake book covers that look like the real thing, and then pretended to read them while on the subway. In reality, he just wanted to see the looks on people's faces when they saw what he was reading. There’s a hilarious video showing these fake books, but you’ll have to keep pausing it to get a glimpse of what the comedian is reading. If you don’t want to do that, then check these fake …

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f4c2c11f923089d845acd8391e01fa36.jpg According to a new post on Twitter from Des Smith, a product manager with T-Mobile, the carrier will be rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to the LG V10 starting next week. This comes a little more than two months after T-Mobile started the upgrade process to Marshmallow for last year’s flagship, the LG G4. Since then, LG also released their newest flagship device, the LG G5. No details were shared about what the upgrade may include outside of the normal Marshmallow features and updates like Doze, Now On Tap, and the changes to app permissions. Since the LG UI on the LG V10…

Since its 2012 release, it's hardly an overstatement to say that the Model S has been a game-changer. Not only was the Model S lauded for its performance, safety features and striking design, it also forced other auto manufacturers to take EVs seriously. More than that, the Tesla Model S effectively reshaped the way we think about cars and what the driving experience shou…

However, the fight over smartphone encryption is not over, and there’s a new proposal that seeks to regulate law enforcement's access to encrypted devices and Internet products.

It's nearly obsolete, it's a resource hog and it's often the culprit behind major security scares. But if you just can't let Flash go, Microsoft Edge is going to at least make it easier to manage in its next update.

    Why did Apple launch the iPhone SE with embarrassingly low supply?

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a2c37f24d692c3ea06fa6cdd17869fd9.jpgIt's no secret that iPhone sales in 2016 may take a dip for the first time in history. Hardly a point of speculation, even Tim Cook conceded this point during an earnings conference call this past January. It's also no secret that the recently launched iPhone SE, for many users, has been a long time coming. While Apple's iPhone 6 and 6s models have sold remarkably well, the reality is that large swaths of users simply prefer a smaller form factor. Indeed, Apple noted not too long ago that it sold more than 30 million 4-inch iPhone models in 2015 alone. All that said, the iPhone SE was seemingl…

In a popular Quora thread, some Tesla Model S owners recently listed the biggest gripes that they had about their cars and they include things such as complaints about the cars' fit, finish and quality. In short, it sounds like Tesla has some work to do still if it wants to be considered a top-notch car manufacturer.

Even better, they decided to do a live stream of the whole thing in which as many as 500,000 people watched at the same time.
