    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d721de1304f8e627ff4addec35bc2655.png Motorola's highly anticipated followup to the flagship Moto X smartphone may have just been exposed in a series of leaked photos. An unnamed source supplied Android Police with a series of photos on Friday that clearly show an unreleased Motorola smartphone. While the leaker didn't identify the phone by name, it certainly appears to be the much rumored Moto X+1, which will reportedly serve as a sequel to the Moto X when it launches later this year.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a3103dd6b291e74502a60777a71af27b.jpg The iPhone 6 isn’t even out yet and it already has a few clones that mimic its appearance and software very well, with 9to5Google having found a new video hands-on of one such device. While the clone is based on the leaked dummy iPhone 6 units that flooded the Internet and is fully working, it's not actually running iOS 8. Instead, it's running an Android version that has been customized to look just like iOS.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a446fc78b5d5d022349820aea7954463.jpg After being among the first few companies to bring smartphones to the masses with Windows Mobile, Microsoft has repeatedly failed to return to its former glory in recent years. There are a number of reasons for these repeated failures in the smartphone and tablet markets, but the broadest and most important may be the simple fact that Microsoft appears to have absolutely no idea what users want. The company has focused on unique, differentiated experiences without worrying about making them truly compelling, and it repeatedly harps on the same selling points that almost no one seems to care …

The Gear VR Manager, an app downloaded to your Samsung mobile device, works hand-in-hand with other Samsung apps made for the VR, like VR Panorama and VR Cinema. Some features of the VR manager include VR Lock, which sets up a security lock whilst wearing the headset, and a Warning Alert that gives the user an alert every hour reminding him that he’s in a virtual world.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6f65ff55ea027476a23ea3cae1269507.png Back in May, it was reported that Google was exploring the purchase of Twitch, the premier game streaming service. Although not officially announced, today it was revealed that a deal has been reached for roughly $1 billion. Apparently both companies started talking back in September, but nothing leaked until May. It’s also expected that Google’s YouTube division will be the ones swallowing Twitch. YouTube was purchased by Google for $1.65 billion back in 2006. Twitch has grown considerably over the years. Back in 2011, Twitch had just 3.2 million active users, but today that total …

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1ad2dc249fc412e836a87d6f04f569f4.png A couple of days ago, the Play Store app was updated with Material Design, and now the Chrome Beta app gets a little lovin as well. It’s not full blown because the tabs don’t show up in the Android L recents like we saw at Google I/O, but there are other changes such as the tab switching interface, a bigger omnibar, and an action overflow menu. You will also get a simplified sign in for multiple accounts along with other bug fixes. The version is 37.0.2063.39 and is rolling now. You can hit one of the Play Store links after the break, but if your device isn’t eligible yet, you can opt …

It was shot in Trieste, Italy and is quite breathtaking. Interestingly enough, at the end of the video it states, ”certain images and videos may be enhanced.” Unfortunately we don’t know to what extent the original footage was altered, but take a look at the video after the break.

Researchers from Rice University are already working on such technology, MIT’s Technology Review reports, having discovered a more practical way to mass-produce it.

At San Diego Comic-Con on Wednesday, Microsoft took the stage to show off the first footage of Halo: Nightfall, an original television series based on the game franchise which will begin airing this fall.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/08b2cb1266bedd01f1f3e471678d8a83.png It is only a matter of time before Sony unveils its upcoming flagship handset. The Xperia Z3 has leaked in pictures and we have already learned about the specifications. So Sony would be doing the right thing by announcing it sooner rather than later to prevent any further leaks. Today, though, we have some more images that allegedly show the handset’s side and back panel. All on one side, it looks like the Xperia Z3 will have a lot going on. At the bottom is a dedicated camera button. Moving up, just below the chrome power button, is the volume rocker. And at the top seems to be a micr…

To coincide with the release of the film, Nickelodeon has launched an official game. The app features all four of the TMNT crew as they fight through New York City in order to reclaim peace from the Foot Clan. There is a story mode alongside a special survival mode that tests your skill to see how long you can last while fending off enemies. This app does cost $3.99 and features in-app purchases, so do know that it may run up quite the tab. Hit the break for the gallery and download links. http://android…

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a115c2636e40b486f3e0eccd235f99d9.jpg Google is saying thank you for owning its $35 darling. To celebrate the first birthday of Chromecast, the company is giving every owner 90 days of Google Play Music All Access. Well, almost every owner. For existing subscribers of All Access or people that have already had a promotional code used, Google will not allow this promotion to be applied. So for those getting to take advantage of this, you basically save $30 which is what three months of a subscription would cost.

    http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/378b7b8509b7ede9ba4392f39684ceda.jpg Hot on the heels of an identical discount, Motorola have announced their Back To School sale, offering savings of up to $125 on all three variants of their Moto X flagship. The 16GB model is going for $299 (down from $399), 32GB for $324.99 (down from $449.99) and the 64GB model for a measly $374.99 (down from $499.99). All three options come unlocked and can be customized via Motorola’s Moto Maker. The sale, which runs until July 31st or while supplies last, is likely an attempt by Motorola to unload some inventory in anticipation of the upcoming Moto X+1. If you’re looking for a grea…

In a hands-on video posted to TechCrunch’s YouTube page, a representative for Motorola lets slip that the Moto 360 includes an ambient light sensor, a feature that is sorely missing from the Samsung Gear Live and the LG G Watch (the only two Android Wear devices to be launched so far). For those wondering, an ambient light sensor measures ambient light to automatically adjust the brightness of your screen …

Our sister site BGR India reports that the exclusive stores will contain three weeks worth of supply once they're up and running and should require just 3-4 employees to operate, including a store manager, an iOS promoter and one or two sales managers. Apple will also take on 50% of the cost for the 10-15 demo units required to appear at each location. Continue reading... http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e14d974c…

On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel's crew took to Hollywood Blvd. with Apple's unreleased iTime smartwatch, first revealed in a patent application earlier this week, to gauge the public reaction. The only problem was that the watch in question was actually a $20 Casio watch with an Apple logo stuck to the back. As you can probably guess, a lot of people didn't catch on, and the resulting video is pretty hysterical. Continue reading... http://androidforum.us/d…

With more than 50 million monthly active users, Twitch is a wildly popular service that allows gamers to stream live video of themselves as well as live feeds of whatever video games they might be playing. Venturebeat reports that Google's YouTube division is in charge of the deal and will presumably oversee Twitch in some capacity moving forward. Google has not yet confirmed the acquisition. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirror…

We called the phone Android's new king, supplanting Samsung's lackluster Galaxy S5, which has been something of a disappointment for many consumers and for Samsung's bottom line. While LG has a long way to go before it catches up to Samsung in terms of shipments, the company on Thursday reported record smartphone sales for the second quarter.

We’re getting closer to that reality now, as Google has added support for making phone calls via Hangouts from the Google Voice website — and you don’t even need Google+. To get started, just go to your Google Voice account (Google.com/Voice) and when you go to make a call, select “Hangouts” as a “phone to call with.” It’s a nice new addition, although not major, but still a…

Today, HTC’s clock app for Sense 6 has appeared in the Play Store. This means that in the future, any software improvements to the clock app will be handled through the Play Store. As of now, it’s showing only 10-50 downloads for the app in the Play Store, and it’s incompatible with my M8 on Verizon, and we’re hearing that it’s incompatible with some M7′s as well. It seems a …
