Google Assistant Bug is Causing Battery Drain in Android Phones

0

Android phones have a new problem, this time it is with the Google Assistant. It seems that if you are using the “Ok, Google” or “Hey, Google” phrase to open the Assistant on one device, it gets activated on a second device as well. The bug has affected Google Home and Google Pixel devices. Turns out the problem starts when one says “Ok, Google,” or “Hey, Google”.

This not only awakens the Google Assistant on one device but also manages to activate it on a second device if one is nearby. The screens of the devices stay powered on indefinitely after hearing the phrase to activate the Google Assistant. Furthermore, the bug makes the Google Assistant remain active on the second device until powered off.

The original post that was shared on Reddit, saw multiple people comment saying they are facing this issue. The users were not best pleased after their phone’s battery depleted to 1 percent because the Google Assistant had remained powered on, hours after the wake-up phrase was used for a Google Home speaker.

Notably, the Google Assistant remaining powered on, not only causes serious battery drain, but it also has several security risks as it leaves the device unlocked. Google is yet to roll-out a fix for this.

Pawan Kalyan’s Film Comeback to be A Death Blow to Janasena?

0

it is more or less confirmed that Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is all set to make a Comeback to Cinema. Buzz is that his Comeback film is going to be helmed by Krish who is known for his sensible films. There are rumors that the movie is the official remake of Bollywood Blockbuster, Pink but that is a discussion for another day.

The big question is about the consequences Pawan Kalyan and his Janasena face due to this move. Janasena has got the worst possible result in the recent elections with even Pawan Kalyan losing from Two Seats. If he himself is not able to win, it is a serious problem that Janasena should introspect. Pawan Kalyan did not even make a proper review of the election result and if the local elections were to happen today, the results would be equally horrendous. While there can be several reasons for the failure, the primary reason is that Pawan Kalyan failed to convince the people that he is a serious politician.

this Comeback to films will only reinforce that feeling. Pawan Kalyan always maintained that his passion is never in the movies and if someone says Money is the motivation behind this decision, they may not be totally wrong. Even a disinterested Pawan Kalyan would draw Crores from the Producers. But that would not help his or Janasena cause even though the money would come handy for Politics.

Ganguly drops major hint on India’s involvement in day-night Test matches

0

In a bid to make Test cricket more appealing to the masses, the ICC introduced day-night Test matches and while Australia, England, West Indies and Pakistan have accepted the change, the Indian board has so far not been too keen to embrace the change.

However, with Sourav Ganguly all set to take charge as the BCCI president, this could see a change. The former India captain has made it obvious that with the World Test Championship having the advantage of the teams planning day-night matches, India also requires to move forth rather than hold back.

Chatting to IANS, Ganguly made it obvious that explaining the idea of the Indian team participating in the pink-ball cricket would be the priority of his list after he comes to office.

Indian team head coach Ravi Shastri had admitted to participate day-night Tests matches versus West Indies last year before choosing to notify the COA that the team wasn’t eager and would need a year and a half to prepare for the playing against the pink ball under lights.

The prevailing thought was that not having to play day-night Tests matches in the WTC was one of the purposes why Shastri and captain Kohli weren’t too keen on playing Test matches at night under lights.

But Ganguly showed that it would be incorrect to assume that the WTC wouldn’t see games played under lights.

“WTC has a day-night Test because Adelaide will entertain pink-ball Test match. I don’t think it is the right note to say that WTC wouldn’t have day-night Tests,” he stated.

A superior ICC executive also verified that there is a choice of playing test matches under lights in the WTC if both teams conform to the plan.

“With the approval of both members it can be a day-night or day affair in the WTC,” the official said IANS.

Ganguly has perpetually been vocal about how day-night games are the way to move forward and that this Indian team under Kohli has the armory to do fine in the format.

“Day-night Test is the way to move forward. Every nation has to play day-night Test, that’s a long-term prospect for Test cricket. India is a good side, they have the potential to win day-night Test matches also. There is no exception in day-night Test games and day Tests. It’s just a complex ball game. They are all class players, they can win games in any situation,” Ganguly stated.

TSMC has optimistic predictions of 300 million 5G phones being sold next year

0

Besides the premium chipsets, orders for 5G modems are keeping Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC’s) 7nm fabs running at full capacity. This has lead the company to conclude that the demand for 5G smartphones next year will reach 300 million units.

The info comes from a leaked internal report and is much more optimistic than what others are predicting – they say 200 million units or less. Either way, it will be a major increase in demand compared to this year.

Strategy Analytics estimates that 5G smartphones will make up only 1% of total sales this year.

Next year, the number will be 10 times bigger. Five years from now almost half of the phones sold will have 5G connectivity.

What’s stopping most consumers from jumping on the 5G bandwagon today is the cost of devices as well as the relatively sparse coverage.

But more affordable devices are on the way and carriers are constantly rolling out 5G to new cities.

Currently, Samsung is the market leader thanks to strong sales in its home country of South Korea. However, Huawei is predicted to ship 80 million 5G phones in China next year – that would be half of all shipments as Strategy Analytics estimates a total of only 160 million.

Anyway, Samsung has only 1% market share in China so it will likely have to find other regions to sell its 5G phones.
