Google tells Pixel XL owner: Buy another device

Image
We've been following the plight of Mark Buckman. He's the  Google Pixel XL  owner who has been producing videos of  the audio problem that has afflicted not one, not two, not three, not four but five Pixel XL units  that he has owned. According to Buckman (and from the evidence we have seen on video), the speaker on the Pixel XL tends to produce static and distorted sounds at high volume levels. Buckman also discovered that this is occurring on the smaller  Google Pixel  models as well. Yesterday, we told you that  Google had finally acknowledged the issue , which we hoped would lead to a software update containing a fix. Instead, Mr. Buckman was stunned when he read an email sent from the company. Google was offering him a refund with the return of his latest Pixel XL. By offering the refund, it would seem that Google doesn't feel confident that it will be able to deliver a Pixel XL without the sound issue. As we told you the other day, M...

Google starts rolling out Android 7.1.1 for supported devices

Image
Above: Android 7.1.1 Nougat is rolling out now. Google today began sending out the next update to Android 7.0 Nougat: version 7.1.1. Developers have had access to a  preview  of this release for the past few weeks, and now anyone can download it without being part of the Android Beta Program — but only on a select few devices for now. The thing that’s interesting about this release of Android is that it lets more mobile devices take advantage of some of the fascinating features of Google’s own smartphones, the  Pixel and Pixel XL . For instance, now if you have one of the supported devices, you can try out the Moves set of features that were until this point exclusive to the Pixels. For one thing, when you pick up the device, it will show you your latest notifications, if you enable that feature. (Apple included a similar feature called Raise to Wake in  iOS 10 , but only some iOS devices support it.) You can also have your Android device open the C...

Image
The  Galaxy S8  rumors galore continues with yet another intel for the highly-anticipated flagship. Yet another report puts the latest Bluetooth 5.0 standard in the Galaxy S8. Bluetooth Special Interest Group, where Samsung is being a member, has certified the standard and is expecting the first devices to use it to come "within two to six months". The Galaxy S8 ex expected to be announced in the end of February and go on sale in March, so it sounds like the device may indeed make use of the new BT 5.0. The new standard allows for four times bigger range, twice faster speed, and eight times larger broadcast message capacity. The rumors about the Galaxy S8 are thriving and while putting every newly announced technology seems appropriate, you should take all of these with suspicion until more solid evidence confirms them.

How To Root Your Android Device?

Image
Android  is a mobile operating system that based on Linux and the root user is an Administrator user, which has all permissions to access to the entire Android operating system (OS). Like other mobile OS, Android limits the app working in the sandbox, to protect your Android device from threats as well as exploitation. On a regular Android device, you do not have root access, but the root user always exists in the system. You can not access to the root user with any built-in feature, so “rooting” is an only way to access and use the root user account. Basically, rooting an Android device is the same with jailbreak an iOS device, allows apps to work with more access, permissions and low-level system. With the root user access, you can run a firewall on your Android device, as well as remove bloatware, enable tethering internet, manually backup app settings and use a lot of tweaks. If you want to use a specific Android app and it’s required root access, then you need to root your And...
