Android gets everywhere: on laptops, voice recorders and … – La Nacion (Argentina)

A computer of $ 79, a device Philips to record interviews and a grounder with touch screen and 4 GB of RAM are some of the curious forms that adopts the mobile operating system Android beyond their presence in smartphones and tablets

A Leeco Le Superbike, with an onboard computer that uses Android.

There are about 1400 million devices using Android, Google’s operating system. This domain is based on the great adoption was within the smartphone and tablets. However, given its flexibility, manufacturers had contrived to implement it in different electronic equipment.

It is the experience of Samsung when it used Android for its line of cameras Galaxy K Zoom, a compact combining the operating system of Google with a touch screen and an optical zoom. With various official adaptations of the company, Android also to TVs, cars and watches extended.

There is also room for curious implementations, such as Android bike Leeco, the firm known as Netflix china to develop a line of smartphones and smart TVs, and its prototype car LeSEE. In this case, rolled Le Syvrac follows the model of a mountain traditional bike, but incorporates an Android device with a touch screen 4 inches, a quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, laser pointers, a sensor heart rate, a camera and a speaker. It is only available in China, priced from $ 800 to $ 6000, if the configuration is chosen with a picture carbon fiber.

Philips, meanwhile, bet on a device that may sound a somewhat dated: a voice recorder, but with Wi-Fi and Android. It has a touch screen and a camera with barcode reader. The recordings are encrypted, and for the moment does not have a selling price

Android Philips put a particular digital voice recorder.; encrypts the contents and has a digital camera and a touchscreen.

While there are several computers that take advantage of Android unofficially, the implementation that attracted most attention in recent months was the Remix OS, an adaptation that is optimized for use with a physical keyboard and a mouse. While Google plans to integrate the universe of Android in Chrome OS to enter fully into the world of personal computers, Remix OS chose the opposite path and developed the adaptation of the mobile operating system on laptops.

At this point the Chinese chipmaker Remix OS Allwinner chose to be the operating system of its economic line of notebooks, according to a report by ARM Devices. The price? about $ 79 for a team with 11.6-inch screen resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels, ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. As a smartphone, but with a large screen and physical keyboard

In this note.

It is confirmed that Chrome OS can run Android apps – Hipertextual

After test the opposite field, and deny that they were to remove Chrome OS in favor of Android. Google is preparing to enter the Play Store to Chrome OS, and applications.

Some unification had to happen between Chrome OS and Android. It reported in October that it would be Chrome OS which would be introduced in Android, but in the end seems to be the opposite.

Chrome OS will add capacity to run Android apps. If it will natively or under some form of virtualization is to see and will be announced at Google IO .

The option has been seen by a user of Reddit in section configuration Chrome OS, and make available to computers running Chrome OS are in principle all applications available in the Play Store.

Tactile?

most Chromebooks do not have touch screen, and most Android applications are only prepared for this kind of interaction, especially games. It is Google may announce some kind of technological “magic” that improves compatibility applications with mouse and keyboard.

Microsoft has spent years trying do well in Windows, and still resists unify forms of interaction.

in addition, a touch screen located in the traditional position of a screen no-touch complicates the ergonomically things, and gives options that end up confusing.

But it seems difficult for a user interface that works equally well with mouse and keyboard do also with your finger, and vice versa. Mice and keyboards need tiny areas for accuracy, and eliminate the need for a keyboard on the screen. Microsoft has spent years trying to do well in Windows, and still resists. Can Google get it We will wait to give our verdict when we can test

Validity Chromebooks

The Chromebooks are inexpensive. Much cheaper on average than a PC with Windows, but they are also much less potent. Especially in the graphics.

A flood of new applications Google Play running on a different architecture to ARM, could give a competitive advantage against Windows in the short term . The long term remains cloudy. Perhaps Microsoft are scared, or maybe they’re clapping for joy predicting a “smack” of Google.

Sarah Tew / CNET

You lost your Android phone or tablet? Look for them at Google.com – CNET in Spanish

Google has a way to find your lost Android.

Google

we’ve all lost our mobile phone at one time or another, sometimes in our homes, sometimes in the car and sometimes in bad weather. Now, instead of looking everywhere to find it, you can trust that Google will come to your aid.

This little-known feature of Google allows you to find your Android phone or tablet using the search engine Google on your PC, as long as you meet the right criteria.

the Android phone must have installed the application of Google, Now cards enabled, the web activity and enabled applications, notifications Google Now on and finally reporting location must be set in the mode of “high precision”

Here’s how it works.

• first, use the browser on your computer to log into the Google account you’ve set up on your phone.
• Now type the phrase “find my phone” in the search engine Google on your PC . In response, Google shows a map trying to concentrate on the location of your device. Give at least several seconds, and finally going to see a location on the map is accurate enough to give you a sense of where you left your phone. For example, the map told me the location of my team was accurate to a few meters from where I was.

That’s fine. But what if your phone is lost somewhere in your house? Google will not tell you what room you are in, but it can make the device ring so you can keep track of yourself.

• To hear the device, click the icon or link Ring on the map. The device will ring at full volume for more than five minutes. Once you find it, just click the button to turn off the ringer.

But what if you own an Android tablet rather than a phone? You can still use the search function. I used it to locate my tablet Nexus 7 and it worked very well. Clicking on the icon Ring, the ringing sound went off in my tablet so I could locate it.

The Google search function is not the only way to locate a missing Android device. A similar feature, called Android Device Manager, you can locate and make it sound device. If you believe your device has been stolen, you can also remotely lock and reset the password or delete your data.

Apple offers a function similar track called Find My iPhone, you can find both your iCloud account or the app Find My Phone to locate your iPhone or iPad lost, make them sound to locate, block or delete your data.

How safe is Android? – Vanguardia Liberal

Android joined the rewards program vulnerabilities Google, which rewards security researchers every time they find and report a ‘bug’.

One of the things that are more challenging to Android is its safety. Its broad application ecosystem can filter makes ‘apps’ unofficial, some not as safe as we think.

For the second consecutive year, Google is launching its latest annual report on security in Android. In this note we’ll look at how Google services protect the ecosystem of Android. According to Adrian Ludwig, head of Engineering, Android Security, efforts have focused on protection:

1. ‘Malware’ and other potentially harmful applications (PHA, for its acronym in English). They reviewed more than 6,000 million installed applications per day.

2. Network-based threats and computers, by scanning 400 million devices per day.

3. insecure websites to hundreds of millions of users of Chrome on Android, using secure browsing.

The company continues to make it more difficult to meet PHA in Google Play. Improvements last year reduced the likelihood of installing a potentially harmful application from the store by more than 40% compared to 2014. Within Google Play, the installation attempts for most categories of PHA decreased, including:

• data Collection Apps. It fell more than 40%, to 0.08% of the facilities.

• ‘Spyware’. He declined 60% to 0.02% of the facilities.

• hostile Downloader. It decreased by 50%, to 0.01% of the facilities.

In general, these applications are installed in less than 0.15% of devices that only downloading ‘apps’ Google Play.

it is also essential to protect users who install applications from sources other than Google Play. Service applications to verify that protects these users will have improved the effectiveness of the warnings from the application verification in more than 50%.

Rewards

Android joined the rewards program vulnerabilities Google, which rewards security researchers whenever they find and report any ‘ bug’. In this way, they have repaired more than 100 reported vulnerabilities and have paid them more than $ 200,000 to researchers for their findings.

In August, they released their public monthly program security update for the project Android open source, as well as periodic security updates for devices. Manufacturers have joined the cause and provided monthly security updates for hundreds of models of Android devices, but, despite this progress, many Android devices still do not receive monthly updates and are increasing their efforts to help partners to upgrade more devices in a timely manner.

This test version of the operating system was launched by Google for developers and users could begin testing the new features that come in the future official version. However, the fact is that until now was only available for Nexus smartphones officially, and has been with all trial versions of Android have been released so far. But today something different has happened, it is that Google has launched Android N for Sony Xperia Z3 officially. That is, users with this smartphone Sony can install a firmware that comes from Google based on Android N.

Maybe they could raise questions like why Google has chosen a mobile Sony when usually Nexus has never been Sony, but LG, Samsung or HTC. It is also a good question why the Sony Xperia Z3 and not the Sony Xperia Z5, but one reason could be the fact that there are more users with the Xperia Z3 with the Xperia Z5, and mobile have an software more stable take longer on the market. Anyway, the point is that if you have a Sony Xperia Z3 will have Android N, and if you have a Nexus 5 no, something really curious.
