http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/04bc76f4b33cfe7331191286173e2b39.jpg Huawei just outed a teaser in the form of an image for its upcoming P9 smartphone. Huawei P9 rumors and leaks have been floating around for quite some time now. One of the most interesting ones indicating a possible dual rear camera setup. Judging from the new teaser image, we can pretty much confirm that the P9 will sport a dual rear camera setup. As you can see, both the letter ‘P’ and number 9 have camera sensors inside them, thus giving it away. Other rumored specs for the P9 include a 5.2-inch display and a Kirin 950 processor with 3GB of RAM. As for the cameras, the front wil…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b93a0881563975fbd2a6ad34a7dd41eb.png Claiming the combination of text-heavy notifications and a sea of app icons on smartphones is a relic of the past that limits our ability to effectively use our devices, developer TapTap Mobile UG has released TapDeck version 4.0 to the Google Play Store.

Samsung numbers indicate downsizing underway
by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies
- 24 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f0f7e0aa752c207ee114db57a57120c1.jpg Some recent analysis by analysts and other industry sources indicates Samsung may be in the midst of a downsizing movement despite the umbrella entity, Samsung Group, disclaiming any such formal change is underway. The primary indicators that something may be afoot are changes in staffing levels throughout most business units and the elimination of some of Samsung’s research and development centers. Experts think Samsung may be taking some preemptive measures in anticipation of a general global economic downturn as well as a tightening market in areas like smartphones, home appliances, in…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0baf8e90fe54f4f2b35966aa22f43a97.jpg The watchmaker Nixon just announced their very first Android Wear smartwatch called The Mission. The Mission is a new Android Wear timepiece built to withstand just about anything that comes its way. It’s shock-resistant and water-resistant, allowing the timepiece to be submerged 100m below the surface of water. Instead of focusing on everyday sports such as walking, jogging, and running, the Mission’s major focus is on sports like surfing, snowboarding, and skiing. Built-in software extras and pre-loaded apps provide real-time results from these sports. Some of this information is st…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2dbe6b74875ab498c24e802e75a8356b.jpg One way that hackers steal unsuspecting consumers' financial data is by installing skimmer devices on ATMs and payment terminals that record and store all credit card information for the hackers to use at a later date. A video released by the Miami Beach Police this week shows just how shockingly easy it is to install such a device on a payment terminal at a convenience store, as a hacker in the video managed to pull it off in roughly three seconds while the store's clerk was distracted.

However, this is a serious matter, as cybercriminals are targeting more and more products that are connected to the Internet to steal or temporarily hijack data.

The 256GB iPhone 7 might be more than just a wild dream
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 21 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0d7a0e57333d80bb5080916a4c533769.jpg Apple is expected to overhaul iPhone storage with the iPhone 7 by finally ditching 16GB entry-level mode in favor of something roomier. In the process, Apple might offer a top-of-the-line iPhone 7 model with a whopping 256GB memory module under the hood. After a report in early January said the iPhone 7 Plus would have a 256GB storage option, and after Samsung announced an ultra-fast 256GB UFS memory chip in February, a new leak suggests that Apple suppliers would be able to provide 256GB memory modules small enough to fit mobile devices.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/824f09bf22ee65b3b76ff8ef6456ffae.jpg There are plenty of leaked iPhone 7 photos floating around right now, supposedly showing the dual camera setup on the iPhone 7 Plus and redesigned antenna lines. But a brand new set of pictures suggests the iPhone 7 might bring us a major design change, even though the handset is expected to resemble the iPhone 6s for the most part. While it's quite unlikely, this is a rumor I desperately want to believe it.

The FBI is doing a great job of making sure your next iPhone is unhackable

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f9acf09fd1566d9b220584f7d8cf0299.jpg It's happening. The FBI's worst nightmare is coming true. Instead of using the tools at its disposal to break into an iPhone recovered from one of the terrorists who carried out the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California this past December, it tried to set a precedent. With the possibility of thwarting future terrorist attacks supporting its argument, the Bureau compelled a court to force Apple to provide it with tools that would allow investigators to hack into the iPhone. Apple appealed the court's decision though, and it took the fight public. Now, this ongoing battle is having th…

Actually, closing your apps might be making your battery life worse
by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 25 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ad3d6075ded08f9cec120fac3211486a.jpg I have a confession to make: I'm an app closer. The iPhone 6s is my main smartphone and it's so fast that opening apps from a closed state barely takes any longer than opening apps from a background state. Why do I close apps? Sure, I might still have some delusions in the back of my mind that I'm helping extend my iPhone's battery life — and I might be helping despite what everyone is saying right now, but I'll circle back to that — but there's another reason I manually close most apps when I'm done with them.

After various images already hit the web showing alleged components from the iPhone 7, a new photo seemingly shows the metal back of the handset, further reinforcing the thought that Apple is finally fixing one of the "design flaws" from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s series.

The two parties have signed a three-year extension to their partnership that gives Team Magenta a big role as one of the MLB’s official sponsors. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cdcdd39f0bd19e9b768bb544af5b2692.jpg Last season, T-Mobile and MLB gave customers season-long access to MLB At Bat Premium. This allowed anyone on T-Mobile’s network to stream games through the MLB At Bat app on mobile devices. Now, for the 2016 MLB season, T-Mobile is sweetening the pot.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d2d874bddcda3ef7480f9f4367afd198.jpg B&H is running a new deal on the 16GB model of the Moto X Pure Edition, allowing buyers to take $100 off the handset. Motorola is running a similar deal through tomorrow, March 17, but if you think you’re going to miss out, now you’ve got a second chance through B&H. This deal applies to only the 16GB model, but you’ll get that same $100 instant savings whether you choose to pick up the handset in Black or the White/Bamboo combination. This is a pretty nice deal, considering that the handset normally retails for $400. At $300, it’s hard to pass up, but the downside is th…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/dfb4c613b233dbaa55b9a32c80280500.jpg Sony announced today that the PlayStation VR will be available starting in October of this year. Sony calls the PlayStation VR a new system that will take a PlayStation 4 and bring it into the “next level of immersion.” It’s similar to the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive in that the PlayStation VR is a headset, but it’s unique in that Sony isn’t requiring that you have a high-end PC. In fact, all you need is the PlayStation 4 sitting in your living room. There are over 230 developers and publishers working on virtual reality titles for the headset, according to a press release from Sony…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1612465355a2e95000976dfb1413089c.jpg Since partnering up with Google to produce the Nexus 6P, Huawei has moved from being a somewhat exotic smartphone maker from China to a mainstream manufacturer. The Chinese company is holding a launch event in London on April 6th, where it’s thought that it will take the wraps off its latest flagship, the P9. Meanwhile, the Chinese retailer, Oppomart, has today revealed the possible specifications of not only the P9 but also the P9 Lite and P9 Max. According to Oppomart, the Huawei P9 features a Full HD 5.2-inch display and will sport the manufacturers own processor, the HiSilicon Kirin…

According to Instagram’s researchers, on average users miss out on around 70% of their Instagram feed, which has been the driving force for the changes behind the scenes. Considering the current home layout is seeing users miss out on great moments from people they follow, Instagram is moving around content so that pictures and videos ‘users care about the most’ is displayed before anything else.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/be5c21ab70aff9d607dca4593cf5d1e2.jpg To be fair, the Moto X Pure Edition Unlocked Smartphone With Real Bamboo and 16GB of storage is a bargain at pretty much any price you see online.

Apple destroys government claim that it’s using encryption debate as a marketing tool

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/68d3fbfc57f3d673c2dd1c139ee5e6cf.jpg When the DOJ filed its response brief last week, Apple attorneys didn't even try to hide their disgust. During a colorful conference call with reporters, Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell was quick to call the DOJ's accusations "offensive." In addition to suggesting that Apple "has a different and sinister relationship with China", the DOJ also issued a thinly veiled threat indicating that it might seek to compel Apple to hand over the source code to iOS. "In 30 years of practice," Sewell added, "I don't think I've seen a legal brief that was more intended to smear the other side with…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7d4b7fc8857b5454b7057eacfa1ce971.jpg In early September 2014, Apple was preparing to announce a massive iPhone upgrade: bigger iPhones than anything it launched before. But just a few days ahead of the press iPhone 6 press event, an iCloud security scandal broke out. Nude pictures belonging to Jennifer Lawrence and many other celebrities leaked online, originating from iPhone backups. Apple explained at the time that its iCloud security was not breached and that hackers probably employed phishing schemes to obtain the usernames and passwords from their victims. Now, 18 months later after the scandal, we finally find out w…
