We fix what others can't.
The OnHub router has quickly become an interesting novelty in the sometimes stoic home networking segment thanks to its forward-looking hardware and user-focused software. And Google isn’t letting up on the latter: the router is already receiving its first software update, about three months after the launch of the TP Link-branded OnHub and just a […]
The Verizon Ellipsis 8 originally seemed to us as an opportunity to put carrier branding on a tablet not gone to waste. The hardware may not be particularly impressive, but thanks to deals and promotions, a decent number of customers have gotten their hands on the tablet without feeling disappointed. Now they’re about to make […]
Update: The old deal was short-lived, but a new one popped up. See the updated link below. Right now everyone is drooling over the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P (especially since Android Police’s exhaustive reviews of both went up this morning). But the Nexus 6 is still around, and it’s still a fantastic phone, […]
Sending a Skype video message is like placing a video call, only instead of having to be online at the same time, the person on the other end can pick up whenever, the conversation is completely one-sided, and the entire affair is limited to a couple of minutes. Following the latest update to the Android […]
Update 1: 2015/11/02 6:15pm PST Update 2: 2015/11/03 1:48pm PST Google promised monthly security updates for Nexus devices, and so far, the company has delivered. It’s November 2nd, and we’re now receiving this month’s dose of security patches. Over-the-air updates are heading out to devices, but if you rather get the goods now, factory images are already […]
Update 1: 2015/10/28 12:56pm PDT Back in May of this year we reported on the imminent expansion of Android TV apps promised by Google, including an app for HBO GO. The timeline for its release was originally “sometime this summer”. Looking out my window at the sodden mess of wet, decaying leaves plastered to my driveway here […]
Update 1: 2015/10/28 3:45pm PDT Google launched YouTube Gaming a few weeks back, but you need lots of content to make that service work. Now you can easily record your Android games and upload them to YouTube with the Play Games app (which we spotted in a teardown). However, this feature is only coming to the […]
Update 1: 2015/10/24 11:46am PDT The app info screen in Android has always been hugely useful, and it’s even more so in Android 6.0. You can uninstall an app, see permissions, change notification settings, and more. Google made it a little harder to access an app’s info page in Lollipop, but in Marshmallow it’s easier again. It’s […]
Update 1: 2015/10/15 2:03pm PDT You don’t have to subscribe to a music streaming service to get a steady stream of songs spread across an eclectic mix of genres. Just wait around for Google to hand out free albums. With the regularly occurring Playlist: The Very Best Of… series, you have your pick of hits spread all […]
Oh, Huawei. The Chinese OEM is responsible for one of the latest Nexus devices on the hardware side, but its software acumen is still somewhat lacking. The P8 Lite launched in the US earlier this year running Android 4.4 KitKat, and it’s finally getting an update to Android 5.1 Lollipop. The catch (well, one of them) […]
Update 1: 2015/10/15 7:55am PDT When the Nexus 5X and 6P were announced late last month, many of their camera features like slow-motion video capture and smart burst were disclosed to us. But what good is a camera when you have to fumble to launch it and your perfect moment has already passed by the time […]
Update 1: 2015/10/16 9:39am PDT When I fire up the Play Store, I generally start searching for an app right away. But sometimes it pays to scroll through the pages. Some users are seeing an option to save 50% off any one album under $15. Note, I’m not one of them. Not yet, anyway. But at […]
