Image
Motorola announced yesterday that that Android Pie  Update will reach eight phones sometime this fall according to The Verge. Android Pie is the newest OS from Google which was previously limited to Pixel phones and the Essential phone. This update would arrive on Moto Phones soon. The latest Android Pie features system-level gesture controls, expanded AI smarts, improved notifications, to mention a few. Moto E5  which launched earlier in 2018 and the Moto G5  an awesome phone from last year, are clearly missing from the lineup. Which means E5 and G5 owners are not on the latest Android Pie features. The following are Moto Phones expecting to receive the Android Pie: - Moto Z3 - Moto Z3 Play - Moto Z2 Force Edition - Moto Z2 Play - Moto X4  - Moto G6 Plus - Moto G6 - Moto G6 Play Google designed Android Pie because it saw the need to reduce notification overload and help users develop better relationships with their mobile devices.

Image source: The Verge Hey folks! Asus has announced the release of the new Zephyrus S gaming laptop , and it comes as some other laptop companies are constantly developing and building thinner laptops with even thinner bezels. The Zephyrus S just began on this journey and it's what it's designed for.

Google is Currently Building A Native Hearing Aid Support For Android

Image
Hi guys, have you heard the latest from Google? Well, Google wants to bring native hearing aid support for streaming on Android. The company announced today that it’s working teaming up Danish hearing aid manufacturer GN Hearing to create a new hearing aid spec for Android smartphones called Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids, also known as  ASHA . Usually, Bluetooth hearing supports have been easily compatible with iPhones, but too bad to see that Android fragmentation has made it difficult for hearing aid manufacturers to provide support to Android devices. The ASHA is built to be battery-efficient while providing high quality audio with low latency. Hearing aids making use of this spec will be able to connect to and stream from Android devices without the need to use another third-party device. ASHA is designed to enable Bluetooth hearing supports to be utilized the same way as headphones that are used to listen to music. Google already published the fresh Protocol Spe

Image
Hi guys ! If you are up to date on the latest developments in the world of tech, you should know that 5G network is getting close to becoming a reality on our planet earth and the latest company to join the 5G party is Samsung. Samsung is speedily advancing in our world of technology with its new Exynos 5100 modem . Although It’s not the first major 5G modem to roll out. The first was Qualcomm X50 Modem , which was officially announced some years ago and and apparently has so many companies trying to use it in their 5G devices  according to claims from tech giant The Verge  . But Samsung’s popularity looks to be that by waiting for the spec to be finished, it’ll be well able to adhere to the 3GPP’s requirements. The new Exynos 5100 modem is compatible with old networks like, 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE all in a single chip. And it also supports both the sub-6GHz and mmWave portions of the electromagnetic spectrums which are used by the 3GPP’s 5G standard. There's more: The

Google Is Currently Working On Solving Fast-charging Problems With Original Pixel And Pixel XL

Image
Google is currently preparing a software repair that will fully restore the fast-charge functionality of its 2016 Pixel devices. This update followed after users reported slower charging speeds  following the recent upgrade to Android 9 Pie. Apparently, Some third-party charging plugs no longer rapidly charge the Pixel XL the same way they did before Pie’s release; Google stated that its own bundled charger (and other chargers approved for USB Power Delivery) should still be charging devices quickly as normal. A Google Spokesperson told The Verge via email; "We’re aware of an issue where non-Power Delivery (PD) USB-C chargers no longer rapidly charge the 2016 Pixel and Pixel XL after the upgrade to Android 9 Pie. The 18W rapid charger included in-box is a PD charger and does not exhibit this behavior. We are verifying a fix for non-PD USB-C chargers and will roll it out in the coming weeks". People who experience this problem are only owners of the original Pixe

Hey people! The latest in the tech world is that Sprint has joined hands with LG to cook something great for users. Sprint has officially announced  that it will join hands with LG to release a 5G smartphone for Sprint’s nascent next-gen network in the first half of 2019. Anticipating? Well, according to The Verge , There are actually no concrete information for the device other than the unclear release date and that LG will be building it. But it would be of great advantage if it happens because it would put deals in place for the devices that will support it when it officially rolls out. Sprint’s press unveiled highlights of its use of Massive MIMO technology as part of the 5G idea that the fresh unnamed LG phone will support. Since the company plans to  launch it's 5G network sometime in the first half of 2019 , it is a great strategy and idea and a great move ahead in technology.

Hi gadget enthusiasts! With Windows10 support, You might not have to squander on a Pixelbook if you're pining after a Chromebook that has Windows 10 support .  According to  Engadget ,  XDA - Developers have discovered  through source code that Campfire (the feature that would allow Chrome OS dual-boot Windows 10) would be available on more than one Chrome OS device. And this don't mean that all Google-powered PCs would get the option.  Hardware makers would have to see and verify that Windows worked properly, and it wouldn't be in question for the Chrome machines that only have a small amount of flash storage. From recent code Comments , there was a suggestion that you'd need to have at least 40GB of space, and apparently a lot of Chromebooks comes with 32GB or less. Luckily, you might not need to go through difficulties to turn it on. Also, You wouldn't need to enable Developer Mode which could put your PC's security in danger and you wouldn'

Guaranteed Way To Get Your Disabled Facebook Account Back

Hi folks, how's it going? I am guessing you are so pumped to see the newest and guaranteed way you can recover your disabled Facebook account.  Yea I get that feeling because I've been there. Nobody wants to get frozen out of Facebook especially business owners and online marketers who harness Facebook's large audience to monetize their businesses The mistake people often make is that they fail to get acquainted with Facebook's Statement of Right And Responsibility , which is a very important section.  I am unfortunately one of those who have made this mistake in the past and what was the consequence? My 8-year old Facebook account got permanently disabled after tirelessly trying to recover it. Do you know how hurtful it is to lose something valuable to you? That was how I felt. As much as I felt so gutted and hurt at the time, I also wasn't entirely mad at Facebook because I knew it was totally my fault even though it appears Facebook have become ve
