Android's Next Version Will Come With Default Encryption


Yesterday, Apple commented that iOS 8 the user data stored on iPhones or iPads are fully encrypted, so no one, not even Apple, can access them, even with a court or government order. This is certainly an interesting point for the operating system of the Apple company, and Google seem to think the same. The reason is that a few hours after these statements, the guys at Google have announced that Android 5.0, the next version of the popular operating system for mobile devices, also have default data encryptio.

As we say, by this measure, the data stored on devices with newer versions of iOS and Android will be completely inaccessible, unless the person has the correct password. Three years ago, Google already offers the ability to encrypt our data Phones with Android installed, but this measure, it simply ceases to be a possibility , becoming a default feature. As a result, all users will benefit from this improved safety, because until now, it was an option that activated only those with technical expertise.

Undoubtedly, the two companies that dominate the market for mobile operating systems take such measures is something to behold. Anything that increases the security and privacy of user data is welcome.

Google's Nexus 9 is Made By HTC


HTC hasn't made a tablet since 2011 or a Nexus device since 2010, but pretty soon both lacunas will be brought to an end by the launch of a new device: the Nexus 9. Rumored over the summer and confirmed by The Wall Street Journal's sources today, the Nexus 9 tablet will mark a revival of the Google-HTC partnership that produced the original Nexus One device. The Journal says that HTC engineers have been flying back and forth between Mountain View and their Taiwanese base as the two companies collaborate on the development of the new 9-inch device.

Earlier this month, a patent lawsuit filed by Nvidia against Qualcomm and Samsung mentioned that "the HTC Nexus 9, expected in the third quarter of 2014, is also expected to use the Tegra K1." Once that note was spotted, however, the document was swiftly revised to expunge the Nexus 9's name, with the current complaint on Nvidia's website carrying a later stamp of September 11th. Even without the WSJ's corroboration today, therefore, there's sufficient evidence of the Nexus 9's existence and upcoming release. Knowing that it'll be powered by the K1 processor also suggests that it'll be closer in nature to the high-end Nexus 10 built by Samsung than the more budget-conscious Nexus 7 line from Asus.

The imminent release of the Nexus 9 has also been confirmed by sources speaking to The Verge. No further specs or details are known for sure just yet, but it's reasonable to expect Google will unveil its new tablet alongside the full public release of the big Android L update. Announced at Google I/O in June and scheduled to be available in the fall, Android L marks a major visual redesign for Google's mobile OS, and the Nexus 9 — designed by HTC and underpinned by a very capable processor — sounds like a fitting device to show off the new software in all its glory.

Google Android One Smartphones Launched in India, Start at Rs 6399




Google Inc launched in India the first smartphones under its Android One project, pricing them at Rs 6,399 ($105) to capture the low-cost segment of the world's fastest growing smartphone market.
The Mountain View-Based company tied up with Indian mobile players Micromax, Karbonn and Spice Mobiles to launch the affordable phones, which are powered by its operating system and aimed at emerging markets.

After launching in India, Google said it plans to expand Android One to Indonesia, Philippines and other South Asian countries by the end of 2014 and in more countries in 2015. Google outlined the pricing and expansion details in a marketing document seen by Reuters. India is seen as a lucrative market for low-cost smartphones because many people are buying the devices for the first time. Just 10 percent of the India's population currently owns a smartphone, brokerage Nomura said in a recent research note, and that figure is likely to double over the next four years.

Google, however, is not the only company jostling for a share of the Indian market. There are at least 80 smartphone brands in India and analysts say the Android One phones must offer customers more than just affordability if it wants to compete with similarly priced devices made by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, Motorola and China's Xiaomi.

"The initial pricing never sticks but it'll be tough for them to compete if they don't come down further," said Neil Shah, research director for devices and ecosystems at Hong Kong-based technology research agency Counterpoint Research. In June, Google had announced the launch of the Android One project, which aims to boost demand for low-end Android smartphones by vastly improving their quality. Currently, many cheap emerging market smartphones run different and somewhat customised versions of the Android operating system, which along with the many variations in hardware make apps on those phones prone to glitches.

Google Maps Now Lets You Add Missing Places


There is nothing quite like being able to rely on the power of collaboration and synergy when trying to achieve an objective, in particular, one that might seem to be impossible for a single person. Having said that, Google Maps have proven itself to be extremely helpful in delivering a comprehensive guide to those who are traveling to unfamiliar places. However, since nothing is perfect in this world, locals know best, which is why Google will now enable users to include missing places and points-of-interest to Maps straight from the mobile app itself.

In order to gain access to this particular feature, all that you need to do is to simply tap anywhere on a map, where the full details of the address will appear. Choose the ‘Add a Missing Place’ link, and you can then fill up the nitty gritty such as Place Name, Category, Phone Number, and Website.

As for the kinds of categories which will be part of the mix, they cover just about everything, ranging from Bars to Shops, Cinemas, Schools, Parks and Hospitals. Prior to hitting ‘Send’, Google will inform you that you will be on the receiving end of updates on the status of these changes to the associated Gmail address, and they can also be published under your account where the Google Map Maker is concerned.

Android Security Flaw Affects Millions of Users


Security experts have discovered a new flaw in Android browser that allows attackers to run scripts that can read the contents of any open tab and harvest private data. The security flaw affects Android devices running any version prior to 4.4.

The flaw was first reported by ethical hacker and blogger Rafay Baloch, who has tested it on a variety of devices, since then his findings have further been confirmed by others in the security industry. According to Google's own analytics, this affects at least 75 percent of all Android users as very large proportion of new phones also ship with Android 4.3 or lower.

According to reports the problem relates the Single-Origin Policy, which can be bypassed for the Android browser by deliberately feeding it a malformed instruction which allows scripts to be run without supervision. This simple exploit allows attackers to read data even from secure sites once they are opened, and redirect the data to any external site.

According to Baloch, "A SOP bypass occurs when a siteA.com is some how able to access the properties of siteB.com such as cookies, location, response etc. Due to the nature of the issue and potential impact, browsers have very strict model pertaining it and a SOP bypass is rarely found in modern browsers, however, they are found once in a while."

YouTube to Support Offline Mode in India


YouTube will be going offline in the coming few weeks, allowing users to save videos, said company executive Ceaser Sengupta at the Android One launch event in Gurgaon today.

According to Sengupta, YouTube offline will allow users on data network to watch the same videos over and over again withough having to bother about data charges. “Within the coming few weeks, much of YouTube will be available offline in India. This is huge, and our users will really, really like this. You can download a video once, save it to your phone, and watch it again and again,” said Sengupta.

There was some news in the recent past, about YouTube going the Rdio, Spotify and Beats Music way, offering a music subscription service called YouTube Music Key priced at $9.99/month. Sengupta didn’t mention about the offline YouTube being a subscription model, but the offline service will not be restricted to music videos only.  No details were given out on the advertising model for offline videos.

Facebook Messenger Update Lets You Draw and Type on Your Pictures


Although Facebook recently passed the 500 million download mark with their semi-detached Messenger app, it looks like they're not content to rest on their laurels. After adding full Android Wear support and video uploads to the app, Facebook's latest adjustment gives users the power to edit photos before sending them to chat contacts. Well, sort of - it's the kind of editing you can do with a Polaroid photo and a Sharpie marker.

While in a chat, tap the photo icon in the bottom control row. You'll see the now-standard horizontal photo reel. Slide left or right to find the one you want, then select either the "Aa" (text) or pen icon. You can doodle or type to your heart's content, which should be very handy for elaborating on complex driving directions. Or drawing genitals on the heads of your friends when they've been caught in a compromising position. You know, important stuff. When you're done, switch down to the bottom bar again and tap the arrow icon to upload the photo.

Strangely, there doesn't seem to be any way to annotate a photo taken with Facebook Messenger's built-in "selfie cam," since those photos are sent to your contact immediately. But if you take a photo with your phone or tablet's default camera, it should show up in Facebook Messenger's photo roll quickly.

Wynk: Airtel's New Music Streaming App


Bharti Airtel has launched Wynk Music, a carrier agnostic music streaming mobile application, with a music library of over 1.7 million songs including Hindi, regional and international hits, an official said Tuesday.

"In India, Internet is predominantly on mobile. This music application Wynk can be used in both Android and iOS platforms from today," Srinivasan Gopalan, director, consumer business of the company told reporters here.

With this launch, Airtel has now become the first operator to introduce an over-the-top (OTT) mobile application in the Indian market, which will work across mobile operators, enabling customers to stream, download and buy songs, Gopalan said.

Though 3G is the preferred connection, the app can be accessed on any mobile Internet connection like 2G, 4G and Wi-Fi.

Samsung Introduces Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Edge, Gear VR


It’s a big day for Samsung. The Korean manufacturer launched its much-hyped Galaxy Note 4 smartphone, along with plenty of other gadgets, on Wednesday at the IFA 2014 tech conference in Berlin. The Mashable team was there, and also on hand for Samsung's simultaneous event in New York City.

Samsung was clearly busy getting a bunch of gadgets ready for primetime at this year's IFA expo. The UNPACKED event delivered the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but the the cameo appearances were equally compelling. The Koreans managed to surprise everyone with a brand new Galaxy Edge, the Gear VR goggles were unveiled as well, and we saw the Gear S in action. Quite an eventful press conference indeed.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 boasts a 5.7" QHD Super AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 805 chipset, a 16MP OIS rear camera, metal framing, leather-like rear finish, new S-Pen features, among others. Sounds like an impressive upgrade but Samsung didn't stop there.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be available, starting from October and there is no official word on the pricing just yet. The phablet will up for grabs in frosted white, charcoal black, bronze gold and blossom pink color options.


Samsung has finally utilized the arched display we'd been catching rumors of for months. This is the highlight of the brand new Galaxy Note Edge. It has the same specs as the Note 4, but its display continues bending on the right side of the phone with additional 160px. This should make the Note Edge the smartphone with the highest resolution screen to date.
