Twitter adds new audio feature to mobile client

Twitter has announced the addition of a new option to their mobile client to make it easier for users to access audio content. With a single click on a link provided in a tweet, users will be able to launch the Twitter Audio Card. The Audio Card will pop up a display with information about the linked music like album art and other info and it will start to play the content. The Audio Card can be left maximized or it can be minimized so users can continue to browse their Twitter timeline while listening to the audio content.

Access to audio content will be determined by partnerships Twitter is able to establish with streaming audio services. The first, and thus far only, service to get on board with Twitter is Soundcloud.

Twitter indicates they are still testing the Audio Card, so not all partners and content creators can take advantage of the feature yet. However, Twitter seems to think they will bring more artists and creators into the fold in the near future.

Pre-order the Nexus 9 early from Amazon for $399, ships Nov 3rd

It’s a little bit early from Google’s announced October 17th pre-order date, but starting right now you can pre-order the HTC-made Nexus 9 from Amazon for $400 (16GB) or $480 (32GB). Left out was the LTE model and specific color options, but then again, Amazon did jump the gun.

Ship dates are currently set for November 3rd, same as anywhere else so pre-ordering now doesn’t necessarily guarantee you’ll receive the tablet early — just gives you a little peace of mind. Tomorrow, the Nexus 9 will be available on the Google Play Store if you want to wait a few more hours. For anyone wary, Amazon has some of the best customer service this side of the internet. Links provided below.

How to enable developer options and ADB debugging on Android Wear

In this quick tutorial, we’ll show you how to enable developer options on your Android Wear device and then how to enable ADB debugging. It’s a short, easy tutorial that will only take a few moments and it’s really not any different from enabling it on your Android devices. You can see how it’s done in the video above which also contains a number of other Android Wear beginner’s tutorials. Check it out!

Enable developer options on Android Wear

1. Turn on your Android Wear display and tap once to open Voice Command.


2. Click the up arrow to access the command list.


3. Scroll down and click on Settings.


4. Scroll down and click on About.


5. Scroll down a last time to Build Number. Tap on build number repeatedly (should be about 7 times) until a bubble appears saying you’ve unlocked the developer options.

Enable ADB debugging

1. Return to the Settings menu using the steps above.


2. Scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see the developer options.


3. Open developer options and ADB debugging should be the third option. Enable it.

That’s really it, folks. From there you’ll have the developer options and ADB debugging enabled for whatever you may need it for. You’ll also find a number of other options under the developer options that you may find useful eventually. We don’t recommend you toy around with the settings there too much but do keep them in mind in case you need them down the road.

How to use Android Wear and customer loyalty cards to buy stuff

http://ift.tt/1vBHnnB

In this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to load your customer loyalty cards onto your Android Wear device and actually use them in stores. It should be noted right off the bat that this is a little bit of a workaround and not an officially supported feature. That means your mileage may vary and the set up process is a little complicated. Let’s get started. If at any point you need to see what’s going on, check out the tutorial video posted above!

Step 1 – Download the required apps

This tutorial is a group effort and you’ll need three apps to make it happen. They are:

• Google Wallet


• Google Keep


• Aviary

Step 2 – Digitize your loyalty cards on Google Wallet

The next step requires you to scan your loyalty cards into Google Wallet.

1. Open Google Wallet, click on the My Wallet button on the top, and select Loyalty Programs.


2. Click the + button near the top right corner.


3. Look through the list to see if any of those are a loyalty program you have. Otherwise, click the “Add your loyalty program” option at the top.


4. Using your phone’s camera, scan the barcode on your loyalty rewards card.


5. Once it’s scanned in, fill in any additional details and add the card.


6. You should now see the loyalty card (along with the barcode) in the Loyalty Programs main screen.


7. Take a screenshot of the loyalty card (barcode and all) while it’s open in Google Wallet.


8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for any additional loyalty cards you want to add.

Step 3 – Make it fit on your smartwatch

Next up, we’ll have to crop it down so that the barcode will fit on your smartwatch screen and still be legible enough to scan later. There are many ways to do this but the way depicted in the original tutorial used the app Aviary.

1. Open the screenshot of your loyalty card barcode in Aviary.


2. Click the crop button. Since we’re going for square here, you’ll also want to hit the square button.


3. Click and drag the corners to match the width of the screenshot.


4. This next part is a tad tricky. In the crop tool, you’ll notice that it’s divided up into a 9-square grid (two lines going vertical, two lines going horizontal). You’ll want to line up the bottom of the barcode with the top horizontal line. If you have trouble getting it, check the video above to see how it’s done.


5. Click “Apply” and then “Done” to save the image.


6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 with any other barcodes you want to resize.


7. Note: This tutorial was designed for a square Android Wear device. If you have a round one, you may need to change things up a bit. We recommend putting the barcode lower in the crop so the corners aren’t cut off by the smartwatch’s round face.

Step 4 – Put them in Google Keep and set up the reminders

The next step is putting these images into Google Keep and setting it up so that they pop up at the right time. After doing this, the location reminders will cause the barcode notes to pop up on your smartwatch when you arrive at the business you placed in the location reminder. It’s not essential since you can open Google Keep on your watch and find it manually but it is really handy because doing it manually is tedious.

1. Open Google Keep and create a new note.


2. Name the note after whatever business your card is. If you’re adding a Wahlgreen’s card, name the note “Wahlgreen’s” so you know what you’re looking at when you open the note later.


3. Click on the camera button at the top and select “Choose image”. When your gallery opens, find and select the card that matches the name you gave the note.


4. At the bottom is a button that says “Remind Me”. Tap this, choose “Location Reminder”, and then type in the complete address of the location you’ll be using that loyalty card (e.g. if it’s a Wahlgreen’s card, enter in Wahlgreen’s address).


5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all of your other loyalty cards.


6. If you’re a different location of the same business, you can always get to your notes by opening Google Keep on your smartwatch. The easiest way to do this is installing Wear Mini Launcher which lets you get to your app drawer dramatically quicker.

Step 5 – Use it at the store

At this point you should be able to walk into the store, have Google Keep pop the barcode up for you, and you should be able to scan your watch face at the checkout to scan the barcode. If you didn’t set location reminders or you’re at a different location. Simply open up Google Keep, scroll until you find the proper card, and access it that way. Here are a few additional tips.

• You’ll want to increase the brightness on your Android Wear device to maximum. This will increase the chances of the barcode being read by checkout scanners without issues.


• When you leave the store, you’ll need to take care of that Google Keep notification (if you used location reminders). Swipe to the left and click the “Next time” button so that it sets itself up to pop up again next time.


• If you forget to use the Next time button in the last step, you can always go into Google Keep on your phone later and set it manually.

It’s worth noting that thanks to inconsistent checkout scanners and other variables and circumstances beyond our control, this may or may not work for you. If it does, it’s a fun little trick that’ll also let you take some of those cards off of your key-chain or out of your wallet. If not, then you have at least learned how to get barcodes, crop them, and put them on Android Wear! Did it work for you? Let us know in the comments. If you do have problems, check out the Android Authority forums and ask for help there.

How to factory reset your Android Wear smartwatch

http://ift.tt/1vBHnnB

In this quick tutorial, we will show you how to factory reset your Android Wear smartwatch. It’s a fairly innocuous process and you should have your watch resetting in under a minute. Let’s get started! You can read it or you can watch the video above and see how it’s done. The above video also houses many other Android Wear tutorials for beginners so check it out!

Factory reset your Android Wear Smartwatch

1. Wake up your watch.


2. Access Voice Command by tapping on the watch face once.


3. Click the down arrow.


4. Scroll to Settings and click it.


5. Scroll to Reset Device. Click it and click the check mark to confirm.


6. Wait for the watch to reset itself.

That’s it folks. Like we said. It’s nice and simple. From here your watch should be ready to pair with a new Android device and shouldn’t have any third party apps or watch faces. Do keep in mind that any apps you’ve downloaded (including the Android Wear official app) will still remain on your Android phone or tablet and you will have to remove those from your device manually.

How to change the watch face on Android Wear

http://ift.tt/1vBHnnB

In this quick tutorial, we’re going to tell you how to change the watch face on your Android Wear device. It’s a very quick process that only requires a few steps. If you want to watch it done, watch the video above. It also contains plenty of other beginner’s tutorials! Let’s get started

Change the watch face on Android Wear

1. Wake up your Android Wear device but do not enter Voice Search.


2. Long press the screen.


3. The watch face selection screen should open.


4. Scroll right and left until you come to the watch face you want.


5. Tap it to set the watch face.

Yes, this is a very easy process. Do keep in mind that Android Wear only comes with a few watch faces. If you want more than the stock offering, you’ll need to download them from the Google Play Store. Once their installed, they should be available as watch faces on your Android Wear devices automatically. If they are not, open the Android Wear app on your Android device, open settings, and at the bottom, click “resync apps”. It should be available then.

Despite $16.5 billion in revenue, Google misses Q3 estimates

It was time for another one of Google’s investor calls this afternoon, with Google’s CFO Patrick Pichette leading the call to talk about the company’s Q3 2014 earnings.

Despite Google tipping the scales at $16.5 billion for the quarter — a 20% growth year-over-year — it seems the internet search giant may have fallen just a little bit short of initial estimates with profit at $6.35 a share, versus a $6.53 projection.

This was due in part to slower growth of Google’s advertising business which was up 17%, but a slowdown from Q2. Google’s websites were also up 20%, but coming in less than the prior quarter’s 23%. Google’s operating expenses accounted for 37% of their revenue (up from 33% the previous year). Looking ahead, Google is working on ads that resize themselves to accommodate the growing number of smaller displays (smartphones) accounting for web traffic. For those interested, you can find more detailed numbers over on Google’ official Investor Relations page linked below.

Source: Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA For Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) And Nexus 10 Will Drop On Nov. 3rd, Other Devices Later In November

We have a reliable source (two, in fact) telling us that the first over-the-air updated to Android Lollipop will come not to the Nexus 4 or 5, but to the Nexus 7 (2012), Nexus 7 (2013 Wi-Fi), and Nexus 10. Why? Because they're all Wi-Fi device - supposedly hardware with cellular data will have to wait a bit longer to get the OTA, meaning the Nexus 4, 5, and 2013 Nexus 7 with LTE will be stuck a bit longer waiting for the L update.

Nexus 9 Pre-Orders Open at Amazon

Pre-orders for the HTC Nexus 9 may not open at Google Play until tomorrow, but Amazon has it available already. For $399, you can have the 16GB version, or for $100 more you can double that to 32GB. The device is available with Prime shipping and says it will be released by November 3.

I hate to say this, but you may get your Nexus 9 faster through Amazon than Google Play, with free or super cheap Prime shipping.

Lenovo is taking on Xiaomi with a new smartphone brand in China

In the Chinese market, two of the biggest smartphone manufacturers are Lenovo and Xiaomi. While Xiaomi has recently gained the number one spot in market share, Lenovo may be working on a way to even things up a bit. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Lenovo is building a new smartphone brand to directly compete with Xiaomi in the Chinese market.

Though details are scarce regarding the specifics of the company, we do know this: the new brand, set to be released under a different name, will reportedly launch on April 1st of 2015. Lenovo’s new company is set to focus solely on online sales, while keeping emphasis on branded applications and consumer engagement. Lenovo also made sure to mention that they will continue to sell Lenovo-branded devices through retailers and local carriers.

Lenovo has traditionally had a rather generic business model when it comes to selling phones to consumers: utilize the retailers and local carriers to get their products out. Selling these phones solely online allows them to potentially lower some of the overhead costs involved with a more traditional sales model. Lenovo is also likely drawn in by the (somewhat arguable) success seen by OnePlus, which has an online sales-only model and has mostly relied on word-of-mouth and cheap online marketing to build its brand.

So why use a new brand? Basically it allows Lenovo to get creative and take some risks without it negatively impacting its core brand. Provided the report is accurate, Lenovo will likely be stepping out of their comfort zone a bit here, though it remains unseen whether such a move will pay off in the long run.

Here’s a few Nexus 6 camera samples, size comparison against iPhone 6 Plus too

With Google surprising just about everyone and making an aggressive play to offer up the Nexus 6 across the 4 major carriers in the US, you would assume the phone is being actively tested on those networks. And you’d be right. Taking to his Google+ page, T-Mobile employee Duan Dao decided to post a few images of his test unit, not too unlike the one we saw T-Mobile Product Manager Des Smith unbox yesterday.

Because he’s a good sport, Dao was nice enough to go the extra mile and show the world how the phone compares in size to the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and last year’s Motorola Moto X. The best part was he even posted a few sample images showing off the phone’s photo taking abilities — something we haven’t seen given Google didn’t have time to send out actual review units for anyone to play around with (yet).

Unfortunately, these weren’t posted at anywhere near full res, so you wont be able to blow these up and thoroughly examine every pixel. Although the phone is still in testing and the software on the test units more than likely isn’t final, this is just a sample of what you may expect when the phone launches next month. What do you think?

Sony Adds Binaries For The Xperia Z1 And Z2 With A Unified Kernel To The AOSP For Xperia Project

Sony's relationship with "pure" Android is an interesting one. As a company they generally make it easy to root or otherwise modify their phones or tablets, with a few notable qualifiers. The AOSP for Xperia project, which provides the basic tools for building standard Android ROMs on popular devices, is also one way that Sony stays relevant for those who buy phones with the intent to add aftermarket software. Today it gets two new flagship options, the older Xperia Z1 and Z2.
