Samsung’s Project Valley might be a foldable, dual-screen revolution

Samsung's Project Valley might be a foldable, dual-screen revolution

Having already filed numerous patents regarding dual screen and foldable smartphones and tablets, it's clear that Samsung is interested in the technology. Now it looks like the company could be including at least some of the exciting tech in its Project Valley smartphone.

According to SamMobile, Project Valley is in very early stages of development, and due to its ambitious nature we'll probably not see the fruits of the project for some time – if at all.

Project Valley is a device that will come with two screens, which can be switched between using multiple gestures.

The suggestion that Project Valley could be a foldable device stems from Samsung's previous comments that it could release such a device by 2016. The device is also known as Project V – you may have noticed that the V looks a bit like a folding device.

It's a bit of a stretch, so take this with a pinch of salt, but Samsung has heavily implied that it is investing in the technology, so make sure to keep an eye on the sky, people.








Updated: OnePlus One gets a price cut, OnePlus 2 still not in sight

Updated: OnePlus One gets a price cut, OnePlus 2 still not in sight

Update: The OnePlus 2 has NOT been announced. Instead, OnePlus is offering limited time discounts on its now year-old OnePlus One handset. The 16GB model can be had for $249, £179 at timed intervals through the week (June 1-7). If you fancy a bit more space the 64GB model is a snip at $299, £219.

This could be the company's last ditch attempt at clearing stock before releasing the OnePlus 2, which is now slated for a Q3 (July - September) arrival.

Original article...

OnePlus has been teasing a big announcement, and while many assumed it might be the reveal of the OnePlus Two, new rumours suggest that we'll also be seeing a price cut for the incredibly popular OnePlus One.

Citing sources close to OnePlus, PhoneArena has reported that on June 1 the OnePlus One will see its price cut, with the 64GB Sandstone Black model dropping to $298 (around £195, AU$389).

The 16GB Silk White version will also be cut to $248 (around £162, AU$324), which amounts to a $50 price cut for both models.

The price cut will apparently take effect worldwide – though in India the prices are claimed to be remaining the same.








GOOGLE IO: The best Android M feature is Google Now on Tap

GOOGLE IO: The best Android M feature is Google Now on Tap

When I pulled up a chair at Google IO and asked what was new on tap, I was cutely told that Google Now on Tap is the latest and greatest part of the Android M selection.

It's so new that this feature is not part of the just released developer preview. Instead Now on Tap is coming "later this year," likely debuting with the full Android M update.

What does it serve up? Even faster Google search shortcuts within a menu overlay, meaning you don't have to stray too far from an app to find the right results.

It takes the power of Google Now and the ever-wise knowledge graph, and attempts to predict what you want to know and where you want to find it - all without your input needed.

It's Pitch Perfect

Google Now on Tap works best when it answers the awkward questions that come up during real-life conversations, like an email or Hangout exchange.

Android M feature Google Now on Tap

"Want to see Pitch Perfect 2?" You think, what the heck is that again? "I'd see anything with Anna Kendrick." Isn't that the girl from... No, I'm thinking of Anna Paquin.

Within Android 5.0 Lollipop, these questions required closing the chat, scrolling through your app-filled screen, opening up Chrome and typing in the "what" and the "who" to investigate.

Android M promises to reduce these cumbersome steps: Hold the on-screen home button of a Nexus 6 and a new menu pops up in place of the old, circular Google Now shortcut.

The knowledge graph slides up from the bottom of the screen after scanning what's been said in your conversation, and it tells you about the movie and actress.

Two Google Now cards contain pithy information and a photo of each, and their own set of shortcuts to apps like IMDB, Flixster and Twitter. Only then are you pulled into a different app.

It gets even faster

"But what films do I know her from?," you ask. She's that actress from that movie where that... thing happens. Google voice search can even understand your very non-specific questions.

Android M feature Google Now on Tap

It'll even understand "her" is Anna Kendrick. It won't start bringing up the movie "Her," like a Siri web search might do.

This is Google's long-standing promise to understand the word "it." It judges what you are asking based on the context of the app you're using and the words or images within.

Who's the lead singer of that band?

Proving that Google Now On Tap works outside of its own set of apps, the company said that it extends to rival music streaming services like Spotify.

Android M feature Google Now on Tap

"Okay Google, who's the lead singer?" when the D12 rap group frontman selfishly sings about being the lead singer of "My Band?"

It'll let you know it's Eminem faster than the funny, boastful lyrics do, all without making you do all of the leg work.

Don't worry: it's opt-in

Now on Tap is a time-saving convenience that takes Google's primary business out of the equation: search. It pulls you to the information you want or into the app you need.

Android M feature Google Now on Tap

But while the app does the searching for you in any app, the Google rep I talked to said that it'll be an opt-in feature. It won't be enabled on Android M automatically.

That way, anyone who has a problem with the privacy aspect of Google looking through an app on command won't have to go through the hassle of disabling it on some back menu.

Not ready for Android M beta

Google's saving the best for last, it turns out. While the app was nearly flawless during my brief Google IO demo, it's still got a few kinks to work out.

Android M feature Google Now on Tap

That's why you won't find it in the Android M developer preview. It's not even ready for the beta, but it's an exclusive you won't find anywhere else.

As much as Google is opening up its software to iOS, like the now iPhone-compatible Google Photos and Google Cardboard VR, this is locked down to Android.

And that makes the iPhone vs Android debate a lot more interesting. "Okay Google, who is winning *it*?"








Here’s Apple’s temporary fix for that iMessage crash bug

Here's Apple's temporary fix for that iMessage crash bug

You know that problem with a single message being able to reboot your iPhone? Well, Apple has now issued a temporary fix as we wait for an official software update to solve the problem.

In a support post, Apple recommends three steps.

First, ask Siri to "read unread messages".

Then use Siri to reply to the malicious message with anything you want. From there you'll be able to open up Messages again without an issues.

Finally, in Messages, swipe left to delete the entire thread or tap and hold to delete the single malicious message.

That'll allow you to use Messages again without any issues but it doesn't seem to solve the problem of someone sending you the message over again.

iFix, you fix

We've tested our fix here and it means you won't be affected by the hack again.

Then it's just a matter of time to wait for Apple to update its software – and there's no telling how long that will take. Fingers crossed it's soon.








Google announces hands-free payments, so you no longer have to lift a finger

Google announces hands-free payments, so you no longer have to lift a finger

Update: Google has announced that it is beginning its limited trial of Hands Free payments in San Francisco. Here's to hoping that it goes well so that it spreads to more locations.

They say that money talks, but soon you'll be able to literally speak to pay for things, thanks to Google's upcoming hands-free payment technology.

Later this year, Google will be testing a smartphone app that allows users to make purchases at specific stores by simply standing in front of a compatible cash register, and letting the cashier know that they want to pay with Google.

A Bluetooth sensor will then detect the app on the user's phone, automatically billing them and sending them a receipt of the transaction in the process.

The technology sounds quite similar to PayPal Beacon, which was announced in 2013 and also allows customers to pay for items without taking out their phones or wallets.

Cashing out

Google plans to test this experimental payment method in the San Francisco Bay Area at McDonald's and Papa John restaurants, though we'll have to wait a while until the app is available to the general public.

As this is an experiment, details are sketchy on how it will all work in practice, such as what would happen with several hands-free payment users in the vicinity of a register, or whether any further identification will be required to make purchases.

Watch Google's hilarious announcement video below, which plays like a ridiculous late '90s infomercial, complete with frustrated customers struggling to open their own wallets.

Android M, the Ultimate Guide

Google dropped Android M on us at the company?s I/O developer's event today, and while the software will not be released until later in the year, Google was kind enough to give us all a detailed breakdown of what is in store. With Android 5.0 Lollipop only seven months old and feeling pretty darn fresh, we expect Android M to wow us and bring something new to the party. Luckily the software really does that and is a pretty rich overhaul of the system, even if it is unlikely to do Android?s fragmented platform any good in terms of unification.
Read the full story here.

Versus: Android M vs Android Lollipop: 6 things Android M does better

Versus: Android M vs Android Lollipop: 6 things Android M does better

Android M is here. During the Google IO 2015 keynote, Dave Burke, VP engineering of Android at Google, revealed that Android M will succeed Android Lollipop this year.

While last year Android 5.0 Lollipop was introduced as a new design and interface - arguably one of the most important releases of Android yet for Google, as it struggled to keep a leash on the myriad manufacturers trying to create something that doesn't look a thing like the stock operating system - Android M is now Google's most powerful release, with hundreds of platform improvements. M looks to be focused on improving the stability and usability of the software as well as the core user experience.

Google isn't saying what the version number or name of M will be just yet, but whatever M will stand for, we're sure it will be delicious. Here's a breakdown of the six big changes that are coming in Android M in comparison to Android Lollipop.

Native fingerprint support

We've seen some smartphone manufacturers already include fingerprint scanners in their devices, but with Android M, Google is looking to make the support standardized across the whole platform. To confirm rumors, native fingerprint support is coming to Android M using a standard API. That will mean that devices with a fingerprint scanner, like the Samsung Galaxy S6, can offer the same range of features.

Android Pay

The new feature will make it easy for Android phones with fingerprint readers to support mobile payments. You can authorize Android Pay transactions, and support can be integrated into other apps, so anyone will be able to use it.

With a partnership with Google on Lollipop, Samsung delivered important bits of code to the Android operating system with its SELinux security reinforcements. The new fingerprint scanner support to stock Android will now benefit the entire Android ecosystem. This would effectively restrict the access of Android phones to their owners, something which is so far only possible on some of the high-end flagships from a select few manufacturers.

Android Pay

Left off on Lollipop, one of the big introductions of Android M is Android Pay. It will be pre-installed on Android 4.4+ devices and will be supported on devices with NFC running Android KitKat and above without opening any app. Android Pay is secure because a virtual card number is created when you register a payment card, rather than an actual card number.

Android Pay

Using an open API, Android Pay will be available through Android's own app, or integrated into other bank apps. It will be available in the US, compatible with existing contactless payment locations, such as those that currently accept Apple Pay (a must to compete with Apple Pay's distribution) both at stores and in apps using their fingerprint. It also means that app developers will be able to use a user's fingerprint for verification. Android Pay launch will be with Android M later in the year.

Improved battery life

One of the biggest announcements pertaining to Android M is a feature called Doze, and it has everything to do with saving precious juice on those baby batteries. Battery life has been something of concern for Android users since the beginning, and it looks like Google is taking measures to improve it.

Android Doze

Doze is a system state that will idle your device and background apps to a near-off state when you haven't used it for a while, a tactic that can make your phone last twice as long as it would if your Lollipop phone were on standby with Project Volta. With an OS like Android which supports multitasking, there's always a delicate balance between managing power and keeping applications running in the background updated.

Project Volta was supposed to change the fact that Android wasn't battery efficient. Like many other occasions where Google failed to deliver with Lollipop, the company is working hard to finally push through its vision of improving the way it collects location data and other information.

The search giant says it grabbed two Nexus 9 tablets, one running Lollipop and the other Android M, loaded the same apps and settings on both and then tested the standby power drain on the two. Apparently the Nexus 9 running Android M lasted up to two times longer than its Lollipop counterpart. It sounds impressive and we're hoping it translates to noticeably better battery life on our devices.

Your device will use motion detection to realize when it hasn't moved for an extended period of time and switches to a deeper sleep which consumes much less power. And, luckily, your device won't be completely useless in this mode, as Doze still allows alarms and key notifications to come through. This comes with one sacrifice: apps don't stay as "fresh," meaning they won't be fully up-to-date with the latest information while your phone is dozing. That's a small price to pay for double the battery life, though.

Charging

Besides making our batteries last longer, Android M is also bringing faster charging with USB-C support, which is a new type of USB connector which, like Apple's Lightning connector, can be plugged in either way round and allows for faster and easier charging. It also lets users charge other devices with their Android phone, which isn't something any of us have asked for, but it's there.

Nexus 6

Burke said on stage that it would be "coming to a device near you soon" - that's the biggest hint at the next Nexus yet. Also, because USB Type-C works both ways, you'll get options for what you want to do when you connect a device. No more fumbling in the dark trying to plug in your charging cable the right way round. Google claims devices with USB-C connectors will charge three- to five-times faster than the current microUSB offerings on the market.

Apps permissions

One of the big parts of Android M is a redesigned apps permissions system. Users will be able to approve or deny security permissions, such as camera or location access, on a case-by-case basis. Currently when you install an Android app, you agree to a range of permissions, such as what the app has access to. In Android M, you don't have to agree to things you don't want agree to. Instead, apps will ask permissions when you use a feature, rather than at installation.

App permissions

This means thata user can grant applications some permissions but not others, and they can manage permissions access after the fact. It also makes it more clear to the user what an application is asking to do.

There are only eight categories of permissions available to apps now, and the apps will ask for them as they're needed. That's different from how Android currently works: users are asked to approve all permissions at once when the app is installed. You'll be able to update the permissions at times other than installation, too, so if you don't want microphone permission, for example, you can cancel it.

More Android M features

Other improvements include changes to how text selection works, and further changes to the not-very-popular alterations to volume controls that were made in Android Lollipop. Google has simplified volume controls once again with the Android M update, with more granular control over the various audio settings on your device from ringtones and alarms to music playback and voice calls.

Android M

For Android M, Google is also revamping the web browsing experience with its Chrome browser. A new feature called Chrome Custom Tabs lets developers insert webviews directly in their apps, giving them the full power of Chrome without having to force the user to switch apps. Essentially this feature allows applications to have the Chrome browser run atop their app whenever the user clicks on a link. This means that all of a user's autofill data, passwords, and cache are available when they open links within an application.

Android's built-in app linking system (also known as intents) is getting an upgrade, allowing apps to open content directly instead of stopping users with a dialog box everytime. With Android M, app developers can now have the operating system verify that certain types of links are meant to be opened with their app by checking with the web server what those links point to and verifying that it's meant to be opened with that app.

This year's release is accompanied by a preview for developers so they can test their apps and give Google feedback on the changes that they are making to Android. The Android M developer preview will be available today for the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player. The public will get its hands on it in Q3 2015.

Updated: Android Marshmallow release date, news and features

Android Marshmallow release date, news and features

  • Update: Android Marshmallow is out now! Nexus device owners can nab the update now. We'll keep an eye on the OS' rollout to non-Nexus phones and tablets, so stay tuned for more.

Android Marshmallow is the official name of Google's next operating system update. Expect it at the end of the month.

The sugar rush is on at Google in preparation for the Android Marshmallow release date in a few days. Now that we know the sweet-treat name, we're one step closer to downloading it.

Say goodbye to Android 5.0 Lollipop and, soon, hello to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the latest mobile platform from Google. Expect thousands of bugs to have been squashed and a new layer of polish.

We tested the Android Marshmallow beta at Google IO 2015 in San Francisco, and while it remained an incremental update, we're still stocking up on all the meaningful news and latest features.

Cut to the chase

  • What is it? The successor to Android Lollipop
  • When is it out? Confirmed September 29 launch event
  • What will it cost? As with all Android upgrades it's free

Android Marshmallow release date

Bad news folks, you won't be able to get your hands on Android Marshmallow straight away - unless you're a developer. If you're a beta tester, you're already playing with Android 6.0 Developer Preview.

Android Marshmallow release date

Good news, everyone else. Google has invited us to a "s'more" filled press conference on September 29 where we're promised "hands-on time." Ready for Nexus devices for this incoming update.

The company is likely to also launch the Nexus 5 2015 and Nexus 6 2015 phones at this event, so it'll be a high-profile, Android-filled unveiling in San Francisco.

Android Marshmallow / Android 6 name

Android Marshmallow is official name of the next update, ending speculation that it might be called muffin, milkshake or, less appealingly, malt ball.

Internally, it's been previously dubbed Macadamia Nut Cookie and publicly teased as "Android M." But now a marshmallow-carrying Android statue on Google's campus. confirms the big switch.

The Marshmallow version number is Android 6.0, according to Google's developer software documents. It's making the full leap from last year's Android 5.0 update, despite small changes being made.

Android Marshmallow developer preview

Android Marshmallow release date

As mentioned, developers were able to get their grubby mitts on a Android Marshmallow preview from May 28, with support for the Nexus 5 2013, Nexus 6 2014, the Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus Player.

Some may be disappointed to see a lack of love for the smaller Nexus 7 slate - so fingers crossed Google pushes out the final software to it later this year.

Meanwhile at the end of June, Sony became the first hardware maker to offer the Android Marshmallow developer preview for non-Nexus models.

According to Sony, the following smartphones and tablets will be able to download the Android M developer preview: Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra and the Xperia T3.

This list gives us a pretty good idea of what handsets will be upgraded to the final version of Android Marshmallow once it releases. The new Sony Xperia Z3+ is noticeable by its absence, but we're pretty certain that it will get the update as well.

Android Pay

Android Marshmallow release date

Android Pay just launched, and so it's technically available without Android Marshmallow, since it'll be supported on devices with NFC running Android KitKat and above.

That said, the Google's refreshed digital wallet service will be made better by Android 6.0. The software pushes fingerprint sensor functionality for the first time, just in time for new Nexus phones.

Android Pay means there's no need to open an app to make a payment, all you'll need to do unlock and place your handset on a compatible contactless payment terminal.

For those rocking Android Marshmallow on their device, you'll also be able to use Android Pay within third-party applications for simple purchases which don't require you to enter all your details every time.

Android Marshmallow fingerprint support

We've seen some smartphone manufacturers already include fingerprint scanners in their devices, but with Android Marshmallow Google is looking to make the support standardized across the whole platform.

As well as allowing you to unlock your device and pay for media from the Google Play Store the fingerprint scanning tech is also open to developers.

That means devs can build it into their own applications, allowing you to sign into them without the need for a password, as well as pay for goods using Android Pay.

Android Marshmallow voice controls

Android Marshmallow looks like it is getting even better voice control thanks to the new Voice Interaction API, which will allow app developers to build voice control directly into their apps.

This means that owners of Android Marshmallow devices will be able to speak to their apps - and the apps will even talk back!

One of the examples Google has detailed s with the TuneIn app, which now uses the API. A user can say "OK Google, listen to music on TuneIn", and the TuneIn app will not only load, but will then ask out loud "What genre of music would you like to listen to?".

The user can then reply with their favourite genre. This natural way of speaking to your smartphone and the apps installed could revolutionise the way we interact with our smartphones.

To demonstrate the potential of Voice Interaction API, Google has released a video, which can be viewed below.

Android M battery life, charging and more

Android Marshmallow battery life

Android Marshmallow release date

Google has done a load of work surrounding battery life and power in Android Marshmallow, which will be music to many user's ears.

First up Google has cooked up Doze - where your device will use motion detection to realize when it hasn't moved for an extended period of time and switches to a deeper sleep which consumes much less power.

Your device won't be completely useless in this mode, as Doze still allows alarms and key notifications to come through.

The search giant says it grabbed two Nexus 9 tablets, one running Lollipop and the other Android Marshmallow, loaded the same apps and settings on both and then tested the standby power drain on the two.

Apparently, the Nexus 9 running Android Marshmallow lasted up to two times longer than its Lollipop counterpart. It sounds impressive and we're hoping it translates to noticeably better battery life on our devices.

Android Marshmallow charging

As well as making our batteries last longer, Android Marshmallow also brings faster charging to the fore with USB-C support.

USB-C is a new type of USB connector which, like Apple's Lightning connector, can be plugged in either way round. No more fumbling in the dark trying to plug in your charging cable the right way round.

Google claims devices with USB-C connectors will charge three to five times faster than the current microUSB offerings on the market.

Android Marshmallow Now on Tap

Android Marshmallow release date

With Android Marshmallow comes an intelligent new assistant feature called Now on Tap. An enhancement to Google Now, Now on Tap lets users access information anywhere on their Android Marshmallow device, no matter what they're doing.

Users can simple tap and hold the home button to pull up a query without leaving the app they're in or website. If a friend emails you about seeing a movie, for example, Now on Tap could pull up info like ratings, the trailer or even let you buy tickets. You can also look at other apps on your phone, like Yelp or OpenTable, to book a dinner reservation or read reviews about a restaurant your friends wants to try for dinner.

Now on Tap doesn't just work with a tap for place info: you can also do voice search for more specific queries, like who sings your new favorite song.

Android Marshmallow interface

Judging by early versions of Android Marshmallow, the new operating system will keep the Material Design look of Android 5.0 Lollipop, but with one key difference.

Scrolling through your installed apps in the Apps Drawer used to be a horizontal affair, however with the first Developer Preview of Android Marshmallow, a new vertical scrolling method was introduced.

To help you get used to the new way of doing things, and to allow you to find apps easily, letters were included in the interface to help you jump to the app you required - all you needed to know was the letter the name of the app began with.

Developer Preview 2 has since been launched, and although the vertical Apps Drawer has remained, the letters have been removed leading to a tidier, but perhaps more confusing, interface.

Android Marshmallow permissions

Android Marshmallow release date

It's made app permissions more intuitive, giving users the option to allow/deny specific permissions within an app - rather than having to accept all permissions at once.

Currently you have to accept permissions when you download an app, but with Android Marshmallow you won't be asked to grant access to features until you come to use them for the first time in the app.

That means, for example, you can give WhatsApp access to your camera, but not to your microphone if you wish.

You can even revoke access for a particular permission by diving into the settings if you accidentally allowed it.

More new features on Android Marshmallow

Google has simplified volume controls once again with the Android Marshmallow update, with more granular control over the various audio settings on your device from ringtones and alarms to music playback and voice calls.

Word selection has been made easier too, with Android Marshmallow highlighting text more intuitively, and a floating menu offers controls such as cut, copy and paste at your fingertips, rather than in the toolbar at the top of the display.

Fire up the Chrome web browser on Android Marshmallow and you'll benefit from Chrome Custom Tabs, which let websites customize the toolbar and menu of the Chrome tab to provide dedicated buttons and options.

An example shown on stage at Google IO was Pinterest, which was able to add a "Pin" button to the toolbar on certain pages.

App linking has been vastly improved in Android Marshmallow, with Google's software now more adept at working out whether a link should be opened in a browser or a compatible app. That means fewer "open with" pop up boxes flashing up on screen and generally just getting in the way.

Android Marshmallow release date

A new and improved memory manager was also spotted in Developer Preview 2 of Android Marshmallow. This tool allows you to view what apps are taking up the most RAM and slowing down your device.

You can also see the average amount of RAM used by apps - even if they're not running - which lets you identify any memory hogs and rid them from your phone.

This should make Android Marshmallow run faster and more reliably than Android 5.0 Lollipop, which can sometimes suffer from memory leaks.

Check back for more Android Marshmallow updates leading up to the September 29 launch event in San Francisco. We'll have our Nexus devices ready to start downloading it if it releases that day.

Updated: Android M announced, focusing on polish, quality and fingers

Android M has been officially unveiled at Google IO 2015, with the search giant revealing a host of juicy details about its latest software update.

Google says it's squashed thousands of bugs and has gone back to the basics by adding polish and quality to Android M.

It's brought in a standard for fingerprint scanning with Android M allowing users to pay for Google Play purchases and unlock their devices with even more ease.

There's also support for Android Pay - another new feature announced at the launch - which lets you simply and safely pay in store with your NFC enabled phone.

Android Pay

Pay with your finger

Android Pay and the fingerprint scanning API are open to developers too, allowing them to build support for both into their own applications.

It's made app permissions more intuitive, giving users the option to allow/deny specific permissions within an app. You can even revoke access for a particular permission by diving into the settings if you accidentally allowed it.

This is just an overview of some of the new features Google has revealed in its Android M developer preview, which is available to devs from today.

For the rest of us we'll have to wait for it to land on our devices, with an Android M release date slated for Q3 (August-September) this year.
