We fix what others can't.
Update 1: 2015/11/01 11:06am PST Since the launch of YouTube Red, there have already been a couple of minor updates to fix little bugs and make further tweaks to the interface. The most recent upgrade, version 10.43, just started rolling out this morning and it appears to share the same purpose. However, a teardown also reveals […]
The “bend test” has been a thing ever since Apple redesigned the iPhone in 2014. It didn’t take long for people to notice the new thinner phones could be bent fairly easily (this was “bendgate”). So, now that everyone is worried about how easily phones bend, YouTubers have taken it upon themselves to test that. One video […]
Android 6.0 has a lot of cool features, most of which are enabled out of the box. You don’t have to go turn on doze mode or app backups, but the system UI tuner is another story. You might not even know it’s there without being told. Once it’s enabled, you can make tweaks to […]
Update 1: 2015/10/29 7:46pm PDT Update 2: 2015/10/30 8:02am PDT A debate has waged since Chrome OS started appearing on Chromebooks. It can be summed up as: This is nice Google, but why don’t you combine it with Android? Well, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, it looks like Google is getting ready to […]
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 […]
Shatter-proof screen? Check. Ginormous battery? Check. High-end rear camera? Check. Latest version of Android? [???fix later]. This is the story of the DROID Turbo 2 and Maxx 2, which were just announced today, October 27th, 2015, 22 days after Android 6.0 Marshmallow’s source code was made publicly available, and multiple months since OHA members have […]
It was only a little over a week ago that we heard that LG was planning a surprisingly quick update to Android 6.0 for its flagship G4 phone, beginning with Poland and expanding out to other territories. We haven’t heard anything about an official rollout just yet, but someone’s managed to get their hands on […]
Nick Butcher (Developer Advocate at Google) recently published the source code for Plaid, an app meant to showcase material design on Android with playful animations, impeccable typography, and a simple, bold aesthetic. The code will provide useful examples for developers, but the app itself is worth keeping installed too – Plaid pulls stories from Designer News, Dribbble, and […]
The Galaxy View is big. Really, really big – the 18.4-inch device seems to be intended as a tabletop computer rather than a conventional portable tablet. Samsung’s custom version of Android will make good use of the extra space, but even the tablet apps on the Play Store probably aren’t well-formatted for a screen the […]
Before we start, let’s get one thing out of the way: there’s no practical application for the apps demonstrated below, at least not in the way they’re being used. You can’t seriously play a game meant for a 20-button controller on a screen smaller than two inches across, even if your fingers are tiny enough […]
Google isn’t releasing a Nexus tablet this year, and the Pixel C isn’t going to be out until some time in the next few months. If you simply can’t wait to get a new Android slate, the Dell Venue 8 7840 is on clearance at Best Buy for a good price. $279.99 gets you the tablet […]
Microsoft acquired Sunrise Calendar earlier this year, and now comes the news that fans of Sunrise have been dreading.
