    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1256b1dbc0f8a4275a2e96f808eedcc4.jpgWe've reached the end of another long work week but before you slip away into the darkness and escape for the weekend, we've got one last list of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free for you to enjoy.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/02e9d910b3480cfe4a2c98d3474a8a1d.pngFor a long time I've had a love-hate relationship with Chrome. I love how it opens pages more quickly than any other browser I've used but I hate all the resources that it gobbles up to make that performance happen. I like Microsoft's Edge browser but there's still something missing for me there that I can't quite put my finger on. However, for the past couple of days I've been playing around with the new Vivaldi browser and it looks like I may have finally found the browser that will allow me to comfortably ditch Chrome.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8981af78547c0a631151e7dcab43bc77.jpgStop us if you've heard this one before... dozens of times. A very serious security flaw has been discovered in Adobe Flash and millions of users are impacted. The zero-day vulnerability allows hackers to exploit the flaw and crash a user's system, or even take control of the system and steal private data. It's one of the most serious types of flaws out there and in this case the vulnerability is being actively exploited by hackers. In other words, this isn't some tiny bug discovered by researchers and handled privately with Adobe behind closed doors. Hackers are using the security hole to att…

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0d8d79f72b2056e621524612584b274d.jpg It’s pretty clear that BlackBerry’s best days are behind them, but this doesn’t mean the company is done trying. BlackBerry has been undoubtedly struggling lately. However, the company did manage to generate hype with its first Android-powered smartphone, the BlackBerry Priv. But according to a recent report, that hype only lasted so long. BlackBerry CEO John Chen just confirmed the existence of two new Android-powered devices currently being worked on. The duo will reportedly be cheaper than the Priv, and feature modest specifications. Chen admitted to the mistake of pricing th…

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e2694ba418ec8201c7d61bdb1d9f82c1.jpg The HTC 10 flagship smartphone is inching closer. The device is scheduled to release on April 12th, where it may be accompanied by a new Desire phone. The HTC 10 has been fairly hidden from leaks up until this point. However today, some of Sense 8.0’s design elements leaked in photos, and we’re giving you a peek at it. We asked for innovation, and HTC is giving it to us! The leaked screenshots contain details on what HTC’s new Sense UI could look like, and it’s nothing like the previous generation. HTC may announce a new breakthrough called ‘Freestyle layouts.’ These are different the…

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8ea7a09b5a15e81555b5bfb280cd1454.jpg The first few months of 2016 have been busy with major phone announcements from companies like Samsung, LG, Huawei, and the about to be announced HTC 10. Looking forward to the summer and fall months, one of the devices that may get quite a bit of attention will be the next Moto X device as it will be the first since Lenovo decided to drop the Motorola branding they got when purchasing Motorola Mobility. We have not seen a lot of news or leaks about Lenovo’s forthcoming flagship, but a unit though to be a prototype or testing unit was recently spotted out in the wild it seems. The devi…

There's a pretty simple way to keep your devices secure and make sure your traffic is encrypted even when you're using a public Wi-Fi hotspot, however: Use a VPN that's hosted by your home router.

However, it looks like Lenovo still has the old Motorola team working on a new flagship device and a newly leaked picture might give us our first look at it. Droid Life points us to a new pic posted by HelloMotoHK that shows what appears to be a new Motorola device with a fingerprint scanner placed prominently at the bottom.

However, truck manufacturers seem to be farther along, at least in Europe, where fleets of trucks drove themselves across the continent.

Not only are 4K HDTVs more affordable than ever before, smartphones have given millions of consumers the ability to record stunning 4K footage with a device that can fight right in their pocket. Indeed, any smartphone worth its salt today is bound to have 4K recording functionality. Even the recently released iPhone SE, which can be picked up for free with contract, features a 4K camera.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4c972ba681c487a528d6af15053752c6.jpgAre things actually looking up for a major Android vendor? Samsung has seen its earnings deteriorate over the past couple of years but the company is expecting a significant boost in its Q1 2016 earnings thanks in part to sales of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. Via Android Central, Samsung is projecting an operating profit of $5.7 billion for Q1 2016, which represents a 10% increase over its operating profit in Q1 2015. The company is also projecting solid revenues of $42.3 billion, an increase over the $40.7 billion in revenues it posted in the same quarter last year. (more…)http://andr…

Music festival season is in full swing and news that mobile Android payments will be supported at Coachella will mean the end of long lines waiting for the ATM. Square is the ‘exclusive point of sale’ at the festival this year, meaning that a whole host of vendors will be working with the system.

The phone, which runs Android 6.0, does not have dual rear cameras. Rather, it has a single, 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Similar to the P9, on which TalkAndroid previously reported, features 4g LTE connectivity, a USB type C port, a 3,000mAh battery and a fingerprint scanner on the back. The P9 Lite is…

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/5c6e9a09efd01ad6f69387677172d910.jpgFor the past couple iterations of Android Google has allowed adventurous users to download and test out preview versions of the software before it’s officially available. There are a few caveats to this program, the biggest of which is that you’d have to own a compatible Nexus device. That might change in the near future, though. There’s a snippet of HTML in the website for the developer preview that suggests more devices are coming to the program, including from OEM partners. That heavily implies that you’d be able to install the preview program on a non-Nexus phone you might own. This …

Not only was it an expensive prototype during its limited release, but it was also met with huge privacy-related backlash. Samsung, on the other hand, seems to have the right idea of how to build this kind of product.

But that doesn't make it immune to criticism. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1d1bf4e628417d3f3034a1e5437d671c._.gif Via BRG - Boy Genius Report

No, of course you didn't, because then it wouldn't be a secret. Well it turns out that Facebook filters some messages you receive by default, and there's pretty much no indication that the filtered messages have are there unless you know exactly where to look. It's not obvious and you won't find it on your own, but don't worry because we'll tell you exactly how to find it and see all the messages you've missed. (more…)http://androidforum.us/d…
