Google Play Store picks up a new icon and notifications
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 27 views
If you’ve been into the Android scene for a while, you might remember way back before Google Play when we still had the Android Market to download apps. The icon had a little green Android on a shopping bag to fit in with that era’s skeuomorphic design on everything, for better or worse. Even after […] Come comment on this article: Google Play Store picks up a new icon and notifications Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

All of the major carriers in the US are already trying to pin down the logistics of their 5G network, which should start to become the standard within the next few years. Since the spectrum for that type of network is in high demand, however, that means you’re going to see big carriers fight over […] Come comment on this article: Verizon snags early spectrum to start building their 5G network Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Phones, accessories, and pretty much all electronics ever are bound to have issues, however small. Most manufacturers deal with faulty batteries, QC issues, and other small mishaps with every new launch of every product they offer, and for the most part, they all handle it pretty professionally and avoid any particularly negative coverage. Huawei, on […] Come comment on this article: Huawei wants to dethrone the Galaxy Note 7 with exploding wall chargers Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

New OnePlus 5 leak confirms everything we already know about the design
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 23 views
The OnePlus 5's release date is still a distant speck in the future, but we've already seen a frenzy of details leaked. So far, it looks like the OnePlus 5 is shaping up to be a genuine Android flagship for a highly affordable price. Rumors have it coming in at $450, or as we like to call it around here, 0.45 of an iPhone 8. But while leaked spec sheets have given us a good idea what's going to be inside the OnePlus 5, that's arguably not the most important thing. Any half-decent flagship smartphone in 2017 has awesome specs that mean you're going to have all-day battery life, a great camera, strong performance and a crisp display. The real question is if you can combi…

After years of anticipation, Tesla's mass market EV will finally start being delivered to early reservation holders in just a few short months. Despite a history of missing launch windows, Tesla during its last earnings report affirmed that Model 3 production remains on track for July with deliveries scheduled to begin before the end of the year. With the Model 3 form factor practically decided upon at this point, Tesla has been testing the Model 3 out on the open road with increasing frequency over the past few weeks. Continue reading...

Since early Friday morning, reports have been coming in about a massive ransomware attack sweeping through Windows PCs in Europe. The National Health Service in England has had numerous hospitals and doctor's offices hit, and a number of private companies have reported a similar attack. According to reports from some companies, systems in the US are starting to see the attack, and IT departments are urging employees to shut down any "non-essential" systems to avoid infection.

Earlier this week, Amazon announced the Echo Show -- the first Echo device with a touchscreen display. Alongside that announcement, Amazon revealed that voice calling and messaging would be coming to all of its Echo devices and the Alexa app as well. Unfortunately, the company appears to have made a major oversight when bringing voice calls to every Alexa device, one that threatens user privacy. Continue reading...

This endoscopic pinhole camera attaches to your phone and basically makes you a spy
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 27 views
If you’ve ever had dreams of equipping yourself with some cool spy gear, this might be the perfect place to start. Now, we’re not suggesting that you should use the Fantronics Android Endoscope Micro Camera irresponsibly, but it’s pretty clear that you could if you wanted to. This endoscopic camera is just 7mm thick at its widest point, making it the perfect camera to snake into any hard-to-see spaces. It also has an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, so you can use it pretty much anywhere. Fantronics shows how easy it is to stick a hook on the end and retrieve keys or jewelry that you drop into a sewer grate, for example, but the possibilities are endless. Here ar…

T-Mobile’s latest smartphone deal is one of the best yet
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

T-Mobile will do just about anything to lure customers away from the other three carriers. As of today, that extends to giving away Samsung Galaxy S8 devices. Starting this morning, T-Mobile is offering buy-one-get-one-free on Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices. There's a few catches -- you have to activate at least one new line, and the device you buy has to be on an instalment plan -- but whichever way you look at this, it's a pretty fantastic deal.

If you assumed that ads on smart speakers were an inevitability, VoiceLabs is here to exonerate you. On Thursday, voice analytics company VoiceLabs announced that it was partnering with top-tier brands and Alexa skill developers to bring "Sponsored Messages" to smart speakers like Amazon's Echo. After testing these interactive ads for months, VoiceLabs believes it has developed the first ad format that voice-first consumers will not only be willing to put up with, but might even connect with.

There’s a secret to charging the Galaxy S8 as quickly as possible
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 21 views
The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus come with support for fast battery charging, a feature that’s pretty much the norm on Android devices — the Galaxy S6 and S7 also had fast charging, as do most other flagships. However, just like its predecessors, the Galaxy S8 won’t use the feature in some circumstances, which means there's a trick to ensuring that you're fueling up the battery at top speed.

Researchers from around the world are scratching their heads over a newly discovered radio burst detected on Earth, but with a completely unknown origin. A new report describing the event and the subsequent investigation is now available online, but the key takeaway is that despite our best efforts and wealth of technology employed to discover the source, humanity has simply come up short. What's even more bizarre is that this isn't the first time it's happened. Continue reading...

Apple Watch can detect serious heart ailment with 97% accuracy, study finds

The Apple Watch launched with quite a bit of fanfare, but the device never exactly became the revolutionary and game-changing product that some analysts were expecting and hoping for. Nonetheless, the Apple Watch over the last two years has managed to carve out a nice niche for itself as a beloved smartwatch and fitness tracker. Indeed, ever since it originally hit store shelves, Apple has increasingly positioned the Apple Watch as a health-oriented device, with Tim Cook recently stating that the Apple Watch helped him lose 30 pounds.

When Snap Inc hit the public stock market in March, it was just the latest in a long list of booming tech IPOs. Two months later, it's already skipped the treading-water phase, and appears to be heading for a full-on Twitter-style meltdown. After posting a $2.2 billion loss in its first set of public earnings yesterday, Snap's stock nosedived. As of the close of trading today, it's at $18, 20% lower than the $23 asking price before yesterday's earnings. Continue reading...

If the iPhone 8 is delayed, it won’t be because of this key component
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 24 views
The iPhone 8 will launch in September, some say. Others add that a limited September launch will be followed by a full launch in October or November. More pessimistic reports claim the phone could be delayed even longer, and arrive only in early 2018. And then we have the most optimistic stories that claim the phone will not see any kind of delays. All these contradicting stories keep hitting the web on a regular basis, so we can’t tell for sure who’s correct. A new rumor indicates that if there are any delays, one of the most sophisticated components in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7s will not be responsible. Continue reading...

Try out Chrome’s new ultra fast search tool for Android before the rest of the world

After caving to pressure from Russian regulators regarding Android, Google is hard at work tweaking its mobile operating system and web browser so that they mesh with the country's requirements. The Chrome web browser on Android will allow users to swap out Google search for something else if they want, and as part of the agreement the company reached with the Russian government, a new search widget has to be rolled out to all Android devices sold in Russia. But in an apparent effort to make the prospect of switching from Chrome as unappealing as possible, the new widget is undoubtedly the fastest way to perform a web search from an Android device.
