Besides debuting on the three new Nexus devices, Android 5.0 Lollipop will be available on the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, and Google Play Edition devices in the coming weeks, as well. Judging by the new features, Android Lollipop is the biggest visual improvement since Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The visual enhancements and user interface improvements have bee dubbed Material Design. Android Lollipop comes with new, more fluid animations, a cleaner design with a bolder color palette, a revamped multittasking menu, and now comes with new ways to interact with your voice....

Google Duo’s main appeal lies in the spontaneous factor it brings to the video-calling paradigm – Unlike others, when a person calls you via Duo, the caller’s live stream will be commenced regardless of whether the receiver picks it up. “Knock Knock” as Google likes to call it, aims to make calls “feel more like an invitation rather than an interruption”. Additionally, the calls will be end-to-end encrypted and it is based on WebRTC’s open project relying on a new protocol titled “Quic” which is capable of performing a “seamless handoff” of calls between Wi-fi and cellular connections....

The New Google Glass will be called “Enterprise Edition” and as expected it does come with an improvised hardware and a redesigned button and hinge system. The folks at 9to5 Google were able to lay their hands on the new Google Glass hardware and they have corroborated that the new Google Glass doesn’t look strikingly different from its predecessor. That being said, the new design seems to offer a greater leeway as it also incorporated the foldable design....

Google Pixel 4a: Design and Display In terms of design, the Pixel 4a comes with a polycarbonate body on the rear with a square-shaped camera module to hold the rear camera and a fingerprint scanner for authentication. The device comes in only one color option: Just Black. Moving to the front, the 4a features a 5.81-inch display that stretches edge-to-edge to offer an immersive experience and has a cutout — which Google calls, ‘transmissive hole’ — in the center, to house the front-facing camera....

A quick recap, the QuadRooter makes way into the host device by using an app. Invariably you need to enable “Unknown Sources” from the settings and sideload the app. We had earlier warned Android users against sideloading the apps but now the Verify Feature app seems to provide an added degree of protection against such attacks. Android Central has got an affirmation from Google stating that the Verify App indeed protects and blocks apps along with the QuadRooter....

“Hey, just give me your phone for a minute. I just need to check my mail!” “I cannot find the store. Hand me your phone – I will just check Google Maps!” It may be generous, but it can also be daunting handing your phone to someone, even for a brief while to access an app or show them something on your device. The paranoia that this person will accidentally/ intentionally find their way into an app or information that you do not wish them to seem very real....

Which is what makes me wonder if the mantle of Android flagship – once the preserve of the Galaxy S and Note and the Google Pixel (Nexus) combination – might have just passed on to a new player. And a relatively new one too. OnePlus. Yes, some might consider the very notion sacrilege, but consider the evidence if you will. While there was a good deal of chatter about what the Galaxy S8 would be like and there still is talk going on about what the next Galaxy Note and Pixel will be like, we have to confess that they do not really come close to matching the near-frenzy around the OnePlus 5, which arrives on June 20 (and two days later on our own shores in India)....

This feature can be quite handy when it works well. Still, after a while, it can actually be more annoying than accurate as it often picks up terms that you use with certain folk but does not always want to use (imagine “yes” becoming “yaassss” on a formal mail – you get what we mean!). How to Delete Predictive Text History? So, what do you do when your predictive text starts to think that it knows what you want to type better than yourself?...

The app is rather straightforward in terms of both functionality and what problem of your digital life it aims to mend. “Notification History Log” records every notification that your phone receives and creates a searchable database from it.

Additionally, HTC is yet to clearly reveal the markets in which the smartphone would be available. Nonetheless, the main talking point of the HTC U11 is its large full-screen display. It features a 6-inch Super LCD display with an 18:9 aspect ratio....

The Ascend series has typically carried the flagship mantle from Huawei. But surprisingly, Huawei chose the Honor series to have the honor of being the first smartphone with the new HiSilicon Kirin 920 SoC which is an octa-core processor made of four Cortex-A15 cores and four Cortex-A7 cores. That’s kind of a big deal for us geeks, but what about the end users? Does Honor 6 has enough stuff to warrant a look into your pockets?...

One of the developers at XDA, @FunkyHuawei, has unearthed two applications namely HiAssistant and HiAI from the recently released Chinese firmware files of the Huawei Mate 10.

The Chinese OEM used to install an application called HiVoice in all its devices retailing in China....

What is a DNS? DNS — short for Domain Name System — put simply is how your computer understands domain names. Addresses such as “www.techpp.com” exist merely for humans but computers don’t function with the languages we’re familiar with. In order for the browser to load what you’re looking for, they need to be fed numbers and every URL has a unique one. That set of numbers is supplied by the DNS Resolver....
