It’s a common gripe from smartphone owners. At some point, after the “new phone smell” has worn off, people will start to complain about performance and battery life.We use mobile devices pretty aggressively these days.

There used to be a time when, if you lost your phone, that was it – it was gone. You’d get in touch with your carrier and report it lost or stolen so any calls or texts wouldn’t be added to your bill, but your options beyond that were pretty limited. A little later on, recovery options were added to help you find out where you phone was (just in case you lost in the couch or at the restaurant). If it was heading down the interstate at 70MPH, you could probably assume that it had been stolen – and you could remotely wipe it.While these tools can be very helpful, all ...

Chrome is the web browser at the center of Google’s empire – both on desktops as well as mobile devices. In addition to being just a standalone app (which may or may not be preloaded on your smartphone), the Chrome engine also drives the component that displays web content inside apps. As you might expect, a vulnerability in that engine could cause significant problems for the device running it. Such is the case with a particularly troublesome Android Google Chrome exploit.During the recent PacSec conference in Tokyo, Qihoo 360 developer Guang Gong showed off a vulnerability ...

Android has gone through a few iterations of “shut up and leave me alone” “Do Not Disturb” mode, but hastn’t gotten it right – until Android 6.0 Marshmallow.At 2am my wife isn’t very supportive of me being “Joe the Android Guy™”. That seems to be when my nightstand lights up with alerts from all over the world. My nightstand typically has an Android Wear smartwatch cradled and charging, a Nexus 9 and Nexus 7 tablet, my Nexus 6, and usually at least one other phone or device that I’m evaluating.When an alert comes in from ...
