Latest BBM Update Lets You Retract Messages, Delete Chat Content After A Set Time, And More

There's a certain permanence to most instant messaging apps. The second you hit send, that's it, the message is out of your hands. You better hope you sent it to the right contact, fixed those embarrassing typos, or spelled their name correctly. Unless you're using the latest version of BBM, in which case you can call take backsies.

Now when you send a message by mistake, you can simply tap the retract button.

LG G3 Dual-LTE set to launch in Russia within the next couple of weeks

LG has today announced its plans to launch a dual-SIM variant of its flagship smartphone, the G3, in Russia. The handset will be available in both Metallic Black and Silky White colorways and is set to go on sale within the next couple of weeks for RUB 26,990 — approximately $630.

This is the exact same “Dual-LTE” model of the G3 that LG launched in China and Hong Kong back in September. The device packs a 5.5-inch True HD display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, a Snapdragon 801 chipset with a quad-core 2.5GHz CPU, 3GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and 32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB via a microSD card).

For those of you out there who may be thinking that the phone features two LTE SIM slots. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Only the first SIM slot supports 4G LTE, whilst the second is restricted to standard GSM connectivity.

Out of the box, the G3 Dual-LTE will run the latest build of Android 4.4.4 KitKat with the South Korean company’s Optimus user interface plastered over the top. The device is, however, expected to be one of the first on the market to receive the much-anticipated Lollipop update when it’s distributed later this year.

DROID Turbo will tout its battery life as the “Moto Maxx” outside of the U.S.

Motorola has always been one to release their U.S. devices in other parts of the world. The original DROID was released to the rest of the world as the “Motorola Milestone.” Now it looks like they will be releasing the DROID Turbo outside the U.S., but with a name that touts the battery life.

An invite to a November 5th event clearly shows the “ballistic nylon” back of the DROID Turbo. GSMarena reports that the device will be called “Moto Maxx.” In all other aspects the device will be identical to the model we had hands-on with for Verizon

The Droid Turbo comes with a 5.2-inch Quad HD AMOLED screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor, 21-megapixel camera, and a 3,900mAh battery which is supposed to last 48 hours. If you live outside the U.S., are you interested in the Maxx?

Google gets fined for showing cleavage in Street View

No, you are not reading The Onion. This is a real story.

Google has been fined by a Canadian court for using a photo in Street View that contained a woman and her cleavage. The woman in the photo claimed that she was so embarrassed it caused her emotional damage and a bout of depression. This all started in 2009, by the way, but today the case has finally been settled.

What kind of ridiculous amount of money did Google have to pay to make this woman feel better? A mere $2,000. The woman was hoping for more, but the judge did not buy her story about emotional damage and depression. If you don’t want to be embarrassed by cleavage maybe you shouldn’t sit on your front porch in the middle of the day in a low cut shirt.

Friday Poll: What is Your Typical Screen on Time in a Day?

How many hours per day do you spend looking at your phone? That’s essentially what we are looking for when we ask, “What is your typical screen on time in a day?” Actually, it’s deeper than that, because it’s a metric (if you can call it that) that we look at while doing reviews to give you a sense of the battery life we are getting with a particular device.

I can tell you that I average around two hours of screen on time per day, but that can jump up to three or four hours during a review period. I would consider myself to be a pretty average user, since I sit at a computer doing most of my work during the day, with the phone acting as a sidekick until it becomes my main computing device at night. But I know that many of you are using your phones for everything, from the minute you wake up until the minute you lay your head on a pillow. With that type of use, I can imagine that five hours could be average.

So, let’s find out what the official Droid Life average is for screen on time.

For those new, you can find screen on time by jumping into Settings>Power/Battery and then tapping on “Screen” in the list of items gobbling up battery power.
