http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e9347bd84ae48dabc17d0ada3708f1d4.jpg When you plug a USB stick into your laptop, you probably aren't too worried about it completely taking over your computer. However, Ars Technica reports that researchers at Security Research Labs in Berlin are scheduled to unveil a new exploit at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas next week that will allow an infected USB stick to take over your computer and use it to execute malicious code.

AppleInsider points us to a new research note written by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a very solid track record with Apple rumors and who now says that Apple will start mass producing the iWatch in the second half of November and not in September as he previously reported.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e20df79eac8616a3564ac43e3e7e6059.jpg The OnePlus One has been a huge hit amongst Android fans since it was launched in May. With powerful specs, a manageable price, and the CyanogenMod ROM, it caters to every request the average Android user has. However, recently OnePlus has come up with some changes to this smash-hit formula: it will be replacing Cyanogen with it’s own ROM. While the details are fuzzy, it seems that OnePlus is planning to cut ties with CyanogenMod in the future in favor of their own Chinese-oriented software. While most of OnePlus’ subscribers in America and Europe have an appreciation of CM, their Chin…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/cd6f8654de92c1062ea6f30fd539ff77.png This Spring, Samsung launched Milk Music for their phones and soon added the feature to their tablets to replace Music Hub. Although the radio app was released free, it was hinted that it would not be for long. A new update to Milk has added a premium, add-free option for $3.99/month, which puts it $1 below Pandora’s new pricing. In order to purchase the premium subscription, you’ll need a Samsung account and input credit card details, meaning the subscription won’t go through the Google Play Store. After purchasing the upgrade, you gain access to offline stations, unlimited song skips…

The new HTC J Butterfly launched by KDDI

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6962a1c0131448af41979337189bee11.jpgThe all-new HTC J Butterfly — that’s based on the One M8 — is being released in Japan on KDDI and Okinawa Cellular. While it’s based on the 2014 flagship, it comes with a few caveats the all-metal phone doesn’t have. The phone is waterproof so dropping it in the sink or the toilet (if you’re one of those who can’t do their business without phone in hand) won’t cause any issues. However the kicker is, in order for you to have this waterproofing you’re not going to get the BoomSound speakers. However the Taiwanese company is throwing in a JBL in-ear headset. Also missing is the 4 UP camer…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4493c5ed4ac434d8f82e0c38be100088.jpgMuch of the news and excitement for the new iPhone 6 has circled around the larger Sapphire display it will be packing. However, it looks like Apple won’t be first out of the gate with the new scratch resistant glass if VIVO has anything to do about it. According to a new report and information on the social media web site Weibo, the company is looking to put out a flagship device sporting a Sapphire display. The flagship is rumored to have a 5-inch display and sport an all-metal frame. It’s said that the device will be released in China with a price of 3,998 yuan (about $650). Of course…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ba46cf6f49ef0cf061dc00655e788fb2.jpg IOS 7.1 was a fantastic update for Apple's mobile operating system, bringing with it plenty of bug fixes and refinements that were absent in the initial iOS 7 update. Apple's huge iOS 7 release, as you'll surely recall, was all about renovating the look of the iOS platform, and it was a bit raw when it first launched. There are still some annoying bugs that crept through in the latest version of iOS 7.1, however, and now there's a simple fix for one of the most annoying ones out there.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a6a0b414c1130c77d5b7d4fd51768909.jpg Amazing but true — Sprint's "Framily" ad campaign has done little to stop subscribers from fleeing in droves. The Un-uncarrier last quarter reported losing another 245,000 contract subscribers and now it's fallen behind T-Mobile and is now America's fourth-largest wireless carrier. And how's T-Mobile doing? Over the same period this year it added 1.5 million net customers, including a hugely impressive 579,000 branded postpaid subscribers. And as BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk points out, T-Mobile's wireless service revenue grew by 8.1% last quarter while Sprint's fell by 6.3%. Continue readi…

One app that will make use of Apple’s iOS 8 extension feature is the popular password manager 1Password, which will make logging into websites in other apps and web services even easier than before.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7e5017a1a5053300ff67eb2004bf7707.pngGoogle really wants businesses to use Hangouts for video chat, but the problem is that there are so many different alternatives with different features. Google is trying to get a leg up, by announcing that anyone with a Google account can now enter a video Hangout, regardless of whether or not the user has a Google+ profile. In addition, another big change is that up to 15 Google Apps users can be part of an HD Hangout. In addition to those two big changes, there are numerous other updates, including additional markets for the Chromebox for meetings hardware, and increased customer support.…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4425542ce49566a70fbfc40bb73cd903.jpg In September, major OEMs will gather at IFA in Berlin to announce a number of new products and devices to the market. Huawei has gotten things started in the marketing department, sending out invites for its event, and teasing a new device at the same time. It would make sense that this new phone is the Ascend Mate 3 — we should see plenty of leaks of the device in the coming weeks. Huawei is also set to release another Honor-branded smartphone in China, the Honor 6, which will have a 5-inch display with 720p resolution, a MediaTek MT6582 chipset, a 1.3GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/29b7b98b566736d919e3355e8fd9213b.jpg Last week Verizon Wireless announced that they are updating their Network Optimization policy to include 4G LTE customers and would start throttling the heaviest users. This new policy is clearly aimed at their unlimited data customers and will go into effect on October 1. It’s obvious that customers aren’t pleased with this, but more importantly, The Federal Communications Commission isn’t either. They sent a “strongly worded letter” to Verizon warning that these changes might violate federal regulations, and is a sign that FCC chairman Tom Wheeler could apply new net neutrality rules…

Given EA's past antics, we actually expected the program involved asking gamers to pay an extra $5 per month just for the privilege of playing games on Xbox Live that they'd already purchased. But no — EA Access actually will give you the ability to play games like Madden NFL 15, Battlefield 4 and FIFA 14 even if you've never bought the games themselves for just $5 per month or $30 for a full year subscription.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fc469f37c78c1f2cf778bc3f2dcea885.jpg BlackBerry CEO John Chen strikes us as a very smart guy who has made some good moves to give BlackBerry fresh life. The smartest move he's made might be to emphasize that BlackBerry will not live or die based on smartphone sales and will instead work to offer a wide range of enterprise-centric services that put security front and center. This move is particularly smart because, as ZDNet's Chris Duckett points out, Kantar Worldpanel has just tossed BlackBerry into its "other" category in its smartphone market share reports alongside such non-powerhouses as Symbian and Firefox OS.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c050adb0d09db98f9b57c6633494d5b7.jpg There is always a good indication of what is to come when a company has something go somewhat public through an FCC filing. The only downfall of an FCC filing is that the name of the device can be tricky to identify. With trademarks at the USPTO, that kind of stuff is out and open for everyone to see. So today we have learned that Motorola has trademarked the name Moto Maxx. Interestingly, this associates two of Motorola’s brands with one device. The first part, Moto, belongs to the company’s own flagship devices for different regions around the world. The latter, Maxx, has typically staye…
