We Fix What Others Can't
Most of the electronic doodads in your house come with remote controls, but your computer probably doesn’t. Unified Remote turns your phone or tablet into the PC remote you always wanted, and it’s on sale for a few days. This app is usually $3.99, but this weekend it’s a mere $0.99. Unified Remote allows you to […]
The Galaxy View is a device only Samsung would make. Not because it’s a bad idea necessarily, but because it’s a really niche product that no other OEMs really have a hope of pulling off. It turns out that maybe even Samsung is going to have trouble selling a huge 18.4-inch tablet with a built-in handle. […]
For undisclosed reasons T-Mobile has temporarily halted the OTA Marshmallow roll-out on the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE. The OTA software update originally started on October 5th. We can assume the reason behind the pause is bug-related. If you have been patiently waiting for the update, never fear, it looks like roll-out will resume again sometime […]
I have a bit of a tech addiction, and as such I have a lot of different gadgets floating around my house. Some of the purchases I have made, I will readily admit, were mistakes, and sit around gathering dust unused. There are, however, a few items I’ve bought that I use so often that […]
Google “surprised” us all yesterday by announcing that cellular support was coming to Android Wear. Cue in Oooohs and Aaaaahs and gasps of jubilant shock. Having already heard about the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE through its teaser video back in September, it was pretty much a given that Wear watches were about to learn a new trick […]
Google Photos is a way of spreading your photos from your device to the cloud. But the latest update isn’t about getting your images on Google’s servers. It’s about deleting them. Early this summer, Google provided the option to free up space when Photos detected that your device was running low. The app would then […]
Though no reasonable person would have suspected that Android Pay would get early support from every vendor, bank, and finance company, Chase has loomed large as among the most conspicuous absences. It doesn’t help that the banking giant announced Chase Pay last month, which is like Android Pay except worse in almost every way. After […]
Minecraft v0.13.0 for Android entered beta earlier this month. Gamers downloaded the game. They tested it. They played with the new Redstone components. They dealt with bunnies. They opened and closed new types of wooden doors. Everything checked out, so now the latest version has gone stable. Non-beta testers are free to download the update […]
Image credit: Gadget Pilipinas There’s something to be said for standardized hardware, and generally that something is “man, that update came in fast.” Several Android Police readers, at least one Portuguese tech enthusiast site, and a long thread on the XDA-Developers forum indicate that some Android One phones (which tend to share standard hardware across […]
If you want a top end phablet with a stylus, you can’t find one with better specs than the Galaxy Note 5. You also can’t find it cheaper anywhere than you can on eBay right now. The N920C unlocked international version is on sale for $550, over $200 less than the asking price at T-Mobile and ATT. […]
HTC’s US web store is gearing up for some big sales this holiday shopping season, and as with most things of this sort, it’s kicking off on Black Friday. There are some steep discounts happening, but the offerings will change every few days during “Cyber Week,” which I guess is a thing now. First up, a […]
