The smartphone runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and comes in two colors, black mist and white frost and has a 5 inch Full HD display (441 ppi), a normal thing for a flagship smartphone these days, as models the competition has released at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona also prove....

The Problem As a new product, email was never designed with an emphasis on security. Instead, it was created as a quick way to get messages from one person to the next. Cloud-based email services have been around for decades. Though features might differ, each operates in similar ways. Through computers or mobile devices, end-users can send emails to others all around the world. These emails and their attachments are kept somewhere in a cloud....
We know that sometimes your iPhone’s audio volume can be a little wonky when on Facetime—you’ll be in a conversation, and then all of a sudden, everything will start getting really loud, as if you were cranking up the volume from the top of your maximum setting. We’ve been there (and still get there every now and then), but we’re here to tell you that it’s not just you! It happens to a lot of people....
Instead, as Gabe Aul notes, “This update prepares devices to receive the next cumulative updates, as well as improvements to the client-side update experience.” Here’s a look at the series of tweets that Gabe posted late this afternoon: — Gabriel Aul (@GabeAul) January 29, 2016 Windows 10 Mobile Configuration Update You should get this automatically if you’re an Insider in the Fast ring.

1. Widescreen is Standard Do you remember when standard monitors had aspect ratios of 4:3? Pepperidge Farm remembers. But anyone born in the new millennium might not. Today’s monitors are 16:9 widescreen, even on dinky netbooks like my EEEPC. What that means is that you have more screen real estate fat-wise than you do tall-wise. Especially when you consider that we scroll up and down web pages, not left and right....

Then underneath the thumbnail of the app or video, select Remove from Recent. You can mirror your Fire HDX to select TVs, but there’s not a lot of them....

What Is It? At first, I couldn’t figure out the game. It had no instructions, no settings. Just a colored circle and a picture of a finger. At that point, I lost interest. For the sake of writing the article, I found the official site and guide. This game reminds me of a cross between Fruit Ninja and Snake. You swipe with your finger to create a line to go through a series of colored dots....

Does Your Snap Score Increase With Chats Yes, group chats increase your snap score. The only way your score will increase when you are in a group chat is if you are sending and receiving photos or videos with the other people in the group chat.

This means that if your group chat is just that, a chat, then this will not add any points to your Snapchat Score....
