Google released the long-awaited update of the operating system for wearable electronics — Android Wear 2.0. This is the biggest update the platform for all time of its existence.

Smart watch on Android Wear 2.0, equipped with a cellular module can operate completely autonomously without a smartphone allowing you to surf the Internet, answer calls and messages, view email and more. By the way, to reply to messages using the new input methods. Added support for virtual keyboard and manual input, allowing you to draw and send different emoticons on the screen hours. Write a text message on the clock is also carried out with the help of Google Assistant is its predictive power. Interestingly, the assistant in this case operates directly on the clock, so a password or something else important didn’t fly to the cloud. The Corporation also promises increased speed of speech recognition, the ability to make purchases using the payment Android Pay system and monitoring the physical condition of the user with the Google Fit application. All of these new opportunities, and the availability of the cell module make you wonder — even day smart watches will stretch on a single battery charge or not?

Google is positioning Android Wear 2.0 as a major update of the platform since its launch in 2014. The update will be available not to all but only 19 models of smart watches. The rest probably just don’t pull from the performance point of view. The first, who had the honor to come preinstalled with Android Wear 2.0, steel smart watch from LG. The release States that both presented models Watch, Watch Sport and Style was developed in cooperation with Google, which translated into human language this means that the development and promotion Corporation was engaged to Brin and page. Korean LG has taken the role of manufacturer. And judging by the description, the presented model supports all the key features of Android Wear 2.0: more informative dial, new ways of using applications, and provide more opportunities to stay connected. What they really are, and won from them, that Google for example has created a reference, the ideal smart watch, we can tell after a tho rough test of the device.

the Main issue now is not late, does Google update the Android platform Wear, which manufacturers of wearable electronics, and users have been waiting for almost three years. And if the first half of the year everything seemed to be good: the largest partners of Android Wear, began Chinese and Korean companies. Smart watch Huawei Watch has won the user with its attractive design, the range of the Moto 360 has long been considered one of the most graceful and long-awaited on the market, the smart watch LG watch Urbane 2nd Edition were the first to support cellular network. However, in September 2016 at IFA, none of these companies showed neither new models, nor even any intention to continue to do smart watches on the Google release OSes. In Berlin a new watch with Android Wear introduced just ASUS. The Korean Corporation Samsung’s Berlin presentation, arranged with great pomp, showed under its own watch OS Theisen.

moreover, last year, research company IDC reported that global smartwatch market fell in the third quarter of 2016 to 50%. It’s hard to say whether this is due to the fact that manufacturers do not give users a decent time and most importantly the available models, or just of interest to the smart watch has weakened. But, it seems that all major manufacturers have suspended activity on this field. The more that the market, in fact, left his if not the founder, the inspirer Pebble. It bought a manufacturer of fitness trackers Fitbit and has already made it clear to journalists that will continue the release of the Pebble watch.

as a result, the market of wearable electronics without much fight was won by Apple. According to the research firm, Canalys, Apple in the last quarter of 2016 sold 6 million wearable devices, “zastaviv” for about 80% of the smartwatch market. The Apple Watch sales in comparison to last year increased by 12%. If you look figures study of the market of wearable electronics in General for the year 2016, the rating looks so: in the first place — Apple c 49% on the second and third Fitbit and Samsung with 17 and 15 percent, respectively. And the remaining 19% of the market is divided between all the other manufacturers.

“Android killer” accidentally leaking the fact of his secret … – CNews.ru

Cyanogen reborn under a new name

the Company Cyanogen, the developer of mobile firmware CyanogenMod, has revived under the name of Andrasta. Evidence of this was posted on the social network Twitter, the former CEO of Cyanogen Kirt McMaster (Kirt McMaster). He shared two photos, one of which represented the views of the office of Cyanogen from the street. On the glass door visible logo Andrasta, it is possible to see on publicity boards in the office.

some time later McMaster has deleted his tweet, but the journalists managed to make sure that the photos correspond to reality, the resource Droidmen. Tenant office exchange could not have Cyanogen signed a lease this space until 2018 Thus, the identity of Cyanogen and Andrasta can be set.

In addition, it has recently suffered from a traffic accident – in the corner of the house was hit by a Tesla, which apparently was the reason for the publication of the photographs. In the same post McMaster posted another photo, which shows this car, with a dent on the bumper.

it is Not quite clear who owns the car. However, the Google Street View allows you to see that the same car, or very similar, was standing some time ago in the Parking lot near the building Cyanogen. Perhaps the owner of an electric car is someone from the staff or the McMaster. In any case, the existence of this car made it about the foreign media to suspect the Tesla part in the sudden revival of Cyanogen. This would explain how the company had funds.

it is Noteworthy that on the website Andrasta right under the inscription “built by people” is a Tesla logo. There you can see the logos of Microsoft, Google, Qualcomm and other prominent players in the it industry. Foreign media have suggested that officially the rebirth of Cyanogen in Andrasta will be announced in the near future.

Dismissed were those employees who worked on the development of Cyanogen OS is a commercial version of the firmware CyanogenMod. Announcing the reduction, the Director General of Lior Tal (Lior Tal) suggested that the company will develop mobile applications instead of advancing and refining the “Android alternative”.

For example, in August 2016 in the media appeared information that the company resorted to deception, inflating in the official report the number of users of its OS. In 2015, the leadership of Cyanogen said that the firmware uses 50 million people, but according to the internal report to the Board of Directors in 2016, the number of users amounted to only 25 million.

a Mysterious electric vehicle has forced the media to suspect the Tesla part in the rebirth of Cyanogen

In October 2016, the company Cyanogen has said that stops the further development of the actual OS, and will instead create so — called modules- modifications and additions, which smartphone manufacturers will be able to use in addition to Android. The modification was planned to create on the basis of separate parts of CyanogenMod. The project is called Modular OS.

At the end of December 2016 Cyanogen announced the shutdown of services Cyanogen OS. Developers non-commercial version of the firmware responded with rejection of the brand Cyanogen and the creation of a new system LineageOS, which will replace CyanogenMod.

the Best honours CyanogenMod from Android is that manufacturers do not have to pay Cyanogen royalties for every sold device, as is the case with Google. Cyanogen also does not require a preset along with its OS to a large number of applications. Appreciating these differences, the media called CyanogenMod “Android killer”.

How to deal with the error “not Enough free memory” on Android: user manual – 24 news Channel

Manufacturers of Android devices have one, but a great advantage over the Apple products – the ability to use any amount of memory, both physical and operational. But sometimes a gadget shows that it is not enough.

Despite the fact that Android displays the total amount of free memory as a whole, in fact, the system splits the internal memory and external. Therefore, the error “not Enough free memory” means that you are running low the volume is the internal memory required to install applications. In this case, the memory card may be at least terabytes of free memory.

In this case, it is necessary to conduct work on optimization of built-in memory: remove unnecessary apps, clear the cache and garbage to include cloud-based data sync, not to be stored on the device the extra information to specify in the application settings of the camera and the music as a directory to the default storage not internal memory and a memory card.

Also worth a look used apps. Unscrupulous developers can’t adapt their software to store data on external sources scoring internal memory of the device. This is especially true of games that load the cache, which can sometimes weigh gigabytes. Most applications can move data to SD card manually, it can be done from the menu “Applications” in your device’s settings. Also, you can set this procedure, third-party software from Google Play.

a Second possible cause for the error “not Enough free memory” – the lack of memory caused by incorrect behavior of Android. In the normal state the system monitors consumes memory, leaving to run apps in the background or closing them if not enough memory. If you have a powerful modern device, you can easily open multiple tabs in a browser, run heavy game and then go back to the browser. The page that you opened earlier will remain in place. In devices where RAM capacity is insufficient, the system forcibly close the browser, and when you again refer to it, the pages will load again. That is why we all love the expensive flagships and suffer if you are using budget phones.

If you encounter a lack of memory on your device, then Android can’t cope with adjusting the RAM usage. In this case you should try the following:

Close the running apps on your own. This can be done from the menu multitasking.
to Prevent apps in the background. Android freely allows all applications to run in the background, so they can do from time to time to “Wake up” to refresh the data. If you rarely use a particular app, then to “Settings” > “Applications” it can to forbid be updated in the background.
to Install third-party software for automatic closing processes. On Google Play there are many apps that allow you to manage memory devices in a few clicks to upload all the apps from memory. But do not forget that such applications will take place in RAM.
Clear your browser’s cache, store Google Play and Google Services.

First impression

Open Camera opens the lens. And once it becomes clear that the layout of the elements here is different from system solutions. At the bottom of the big blue button to “Remove” the left zoom, adjustable slider on the right – column tools, where the bottom is located the settings that we will do, to understand what the program is capable of.

so, you can enable facial recognition (it’s Google-camera is), choose time timer and set the batch recording. In the latter two cases the timing of the count and number of images is much broader than the systemic counterpart.

I Must admit that such differentiation does not much enough. At the same time interval in batch mode you can also choose not to shoot a bunch of photos for a couple of seconds.

Separately, go to photo settings and video settings. So, in the settings choose photo quality images in percentage terms, that is, a priori it is thin custom without the banal “good”, “medium” and “excellent”. What to front camera, then the image can be flipped – this will appeal to selfie lovers.

in Addition, you can instruct the stamps on the picture, choosing format date, time, and even geotagging (degrees/minutes/seconds) and also come up with your automatic signature in the photo, assigning a specific font, style and color. It is a pity that this signature will prevail on all pictures until reset. Features – ability to save photos in a background thread, in order to speed up the camera performance.
