Files by Google now lets you hide recommendations for 7 days or more

When it was initially released, Files by Google was called “Google Files Go” because it was intended to help manage the storage on Android Go Edition devices. Because of its simplicity, clean design, and smart suggestions, the app gained widespread popularity outside of Android Go devices. It’s now available on the Google Play Store for any Android device, and with each new release, it gains functionality that makes it even better. Recently, the app was updated to add Google Cast support, but sometime recently, the app also added a small quality-of-life enhancement that went unnoticed: The ability to snooze recommendations.

In the “Clean” tab, the Files by Google app will show cards that recommend you take certain steps to reduce clutter or increase storage space on your device. For instance, if it detects “junk files,” which usually include temporary app files stored in the external storage, or duplicate files, you can have the Files by Google app quickly clean them up. If there is a certain recommendation that you don’t want to take action on, you can swipe the card away to temporarily dismiss it. However, the app will eventually resurface the recommendation, so you will have to manually dismiss it again.

Version 1.0.278928638 of Files by Google has added an overflow menu to each recommendation card with options to hide the card for 7 days or forever. If you want to view hidden suggestions, you can do so in Settings > Hidden suggestions.

This version of the Files by Google app is available for everyone on the Google Play Store right now. You can download the app from the link below. We checked and saw that the feature is live on multiple devices, so it seems to have rolled out for most users on the latest version. This is admittedly a minor tweak to the app, but one we thought was worth bringing up since it appeared in an APK teardown from 9to5Google.

AT&T launches its 5G network next month with the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G

The race for rolling out 5G is now in full steam, but AT&T got in a bit of a controversy for, well, trying to cheat. The carrier launched what they called their “5GE” network, which is essentially just rebranded 4G LTE and not 5G at all. This, evidently, misled a number of users into thinking they actually had 5G on their phones when they actually didn’t. Nonetheless, AT&T is planning to roll out a real 5G network and this roll-out is set to happen as soon as next month.

The flagship phone that is set to carry AT&T’s 5G torch? The Galaxy Note 10+ 5G. The carrier will begin selling the 5G-enabled device for a $1,300 price tag next month. The device will work with the company’s 5G network, which will initially be offered in 5 US cities: Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rochester, and San Diego. The service will then be rolled out to 10 other cities “soon after” according to AT&T, while nation-wide coverage is set to come during the first half of 2020.

Galaxy Note 10+ XDA Forums

We should keep in mind, though, that this rollout will not include mmWave 5G connections, but rather “low-band” LTE, with speeds expected to be comparable to LTE Advanced. mmWave 5G, which AT&T brands as “5G+”, is already available in parts of 21 US cities, with planned expansions for 2020.

Unlike the differences found between the Galaxy S10 5G and the Galaxy S10+, which included a quad rear camera and a 3D face recognition system, the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is mostly identical to the regular Galaxy Note 10+ with the only differences being that the former supports 5G while the latter doesn’t. So if you like the Galaxy Note 10+, your experience will be completely identical for the 5G-enabled model.

Are you looking forward to 5G service on AT&T?

Google Photos gets markup functions for its image editor

In a bid to make annotations easier, Google rolled out a new markup tool in Android 9 Pie last year. While it was initially limited to devices running Android 9, it was later unofficially ported over to phones running older versions of Android. Earlier this year in September, Google started testing a couple of new features in the Google Photos app. Among these were the new album sorting options and a similar markup tool for the image editor in the app. Now, the markup tool is finally rolling out in the latest update for Google Photos and it aims to make adding annotations a whole lot easier.

As reported by Android Police, the new markup feature appears in the editing UI within Google Photos, right next to the crop and rotate tool. The tool currently gives you the option to choose between a couple of colors and two different pen types. The feature works pretty much like you’d expect it to, just tap on the new icon, choose a color/pen type and scribble your annotation. Once you’re satisfied with your artwork, tap on Done and then save the edited photo.

As of now, the feature is only available to a handful of users and we didn’t have it on any of our devices at the time of writing. On top of that, since Google switched to app bundles, there’s no way to install updated APKs to trigger the feature manually. However, since the feature has already started appearing for some Google Photos users, we expect the company to roll it out to all users sometime in the next few days.

It’s worth noting that Google has been adding a ton of new features to Google Photos over the last couple of weeks. The app has already received a document cropping extension, new sorting options in the Albums tab, and a video frame exporter exclusively for the Pixel 4. Google has also started testing a new feature in version 4.32 of the app which will allow you to add face tags to photos manually.

[Update: Rolling out in India] You can order food with Google Assistant, Search, and Maps without needing delivery apps

Update 11/22/19 @ 7:10 AM ET: Food delivery integration is now rolling out to Google services such as Maps in India. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on May 23, 2019, is also preserved.

Do you enjoy the seamless integration that the Google Assistant offers with just about everything? A lot of people do, but it’s definitely not for everyone. Even still, there are huge upgrades on the horizon, and Google knows that there’s always room for improvement. If you live in the US, you are now able to order food from participating restaurants using the Google Assistant, Google Search, or Google Maps simply by asking out loud or by using the brand new “order online” button in the latter two. At the moment, services like DoorDash, Postmates, Delivery.com, Slice, and ChowNow are supported, with planned support for Zuppler and others coming in the future. You don’t need any other accounts either, your Google account will do just fine. There is no word on whether or not the feature will launch in other countries.

Ordering online using Google Search

Menus are shown in their entirety, complete with all costs, extra add-ons for your food such as sides, and more. It’s all in one place and supports lots of different services. Everything you’d expect to see is here, including any delivery charges and the minimum order value.

A demonstration of how to order online using the Google Assistant

To order via the Search or Maps applications, all you need to do is search for your favorite supported restaurant. In the case of Google Assistant, simply say “Hey Google, order food from [restaurant]” or “Hey Google, reorder food from [restaurant]” and your past dishes will be shown to you. Participating restaurants will also support Google Pay so that you can order and pay for your food in one go, without needing to go searching for your credit card. The feature should be available to all users now, so give it a go and let us know what you think in the comments!

Update: Food delivery integration rolling out in India

Food delivery integration for Google services has now begun rolling out in India. As spotted by one of our readers, users in India can now order food directly through Google Maps, Google Assistant and Google Search.

There is no dearth of food delivery apps in India, but having the option to order from Google services directly will be very convenient for users who do not wish to download and sign up for an additional app.

Samsung Galaxy S11 leaked renders reveal penta-camera setup, centered hole-punch display and no headphone jack

Over the last couple of days, we’ve seen leaked renders for a couple of upcoming Samsung devices. We initially saw renders of the Galaxy A51, which were followed by CAD renders of the Galaxy A71. It seems like Samsung is having a tough time keeping the leaksters in check, as we now have our first look at its upcoming flagship — the Galaxy S11.

The renders in question come from renowned leakster @OnLeaks and reveal pretty much everything about the Galaxy S11’s design. For starters, the renders suggest that Samsung’s next-gen flagship will feature a penta-camera setup housed within a rectangular camera module. We’ve previously seen a similar design in the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 leaks. Other than the camera module, the back panel on the device maintains a clean look with just the Samsung logo in the center. The renders also reveal that Samsung has decided to reposition the hole-punch in the display to the center, much like what we saw on the Galaxy Note 10.

While those are the only noteworthy changes on the back and front of the device, the Galaxy S11 does seem to have some significant changes on the bottom and side edges. The volume rocker and power button can be found on the right edge of the device, with a slight bump in the curved edge to help users easily locate the buttons. The left edge is completely blank, which means that Samsung has finally dropped the Bixby button altogether.

At the bottom, the device has a USB Type-C port for charging and data syncing, along with a single speaker grille and, sadly, no headphone jack (RIP). Other than the renders, OnLeaks has also revealed that the device will measure in at 161.9 x 73.7 x 7.8mm, with the camera bump increasing its thickness to 8.9mm. We now also know that the device will feature a 6.7-inch curved display, however, the curvature on the sides is noticeable lesser than what we saw on the Galaxy S10.

While we don’t have any information on the internal specifications of the device yet, a CCC certification listing recently confirmed that the device will include support for 5G and 25-watt fast charging. Additionally, an APK teardown of the Samsung Camera app unearthed strings of code that hint at upcoming support for 108MP photos and 8K video capture. This leads us to believe that the Galaxy S11 series might feature Samsung’s 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX S5KHMX sensor that can be found on the recently released Xiaomi Mi Note 10.

Google Camera mod brings manual/forced Astrophotography mode to Pixels for Light Painting shots

Google Camera has practically been the highlight feature of the Google Pixel lineup, and often the saving grace for devices that otherwise would have been mediocre experiences. For the Google Pixel 4 and the Google Pixel 4 XL, Google Camera enables features like Astrophotography mode: a dedicated photo mode that takes very long exposure shots and employs Google’s new Night Sight sky segmentation and optimization algorithms to allow the smartphone to capture decent photos of the starry sky, a feat that has otherwise remained very difficult to achieve for other OEMs and their flagships. Long exposure shots are also employed to take creative Light Painting photos: photos where the light source moves during a long exposure shot to emulate a “drawing” effect with the light. As it turns out, Google Camera’s Astrophotography mode can also be leveraged to achieve great results with Light Painting photos, as made possible by this Google Camera mod for Pixel devices.

Camera PX is a GCam mod for Google Pixel devices and is a result of a collaborative effort between XDA Senior Member cstark27, XDA Senior Member back.rider555, and XDA Senior Member johngalt1. We have talked about this Google Camera mod before, as it enables Astrophotography, Super Res Zoom, and other features on older Pixel devices while enabling features such as 16x Zoom on current-generation Pixel devices. Camera PX has now been updated to a new version, and the highlighting change for this update is the introduction of manual/forced Astrophotography mode and the introduction of a Light Painting mode.

Astrophotography on the stock, unmodified Google Camera on the Google Pixel 4 only activates when you are pointing at the night sky, and are using a tripod to eliminate any possibility of hand movement. As such, Astrophotography mode has some strict parameters for activation. And while the results are amazing for a smartphone, some more flexibility would certainly be appreciated by users. In the example showcased above, the photographer had to be very creative to enable the mode, which would not always be a viable option.

Google Camera Mods — XDA Subforum

Camera PX thus adds a button, allowing users to manually enter or force Astrophotography mode on Pixel devices. The mod also adds another button for a Light Painting mode, which is essentially a tweak applied to the Astrophotography mode to optimize it for light painting shots. You no longer have to fight the app to enable these modes, though it is still recommended that you use these while your phone is on a tripod.

Keep in mind that this Camera PX GCam mod is only available for the Pixel devices, so please do not trouble the developers enquiring whether it will be available for other non-Pixel devices. Astrophotography mode is only officially available with stock Google Camera v7 and above on the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, and Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, though this mod also enables it for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL and the original Pixel and Pixel XL.

For the complete list of features this mod enables across all Pixel devices, refer the chart below. “Default” means that the stock Google Camera app already had the feature for the device, “Y”/”OK” means that this mod added the feature to the device, and “N/A”/”Disabled” means that the feature could not be enabled for the listed device, either because of unsolved crashes, missing hardware, or messing up a fundamental function.

You can download Camera PX v4.0 from the forum post linked below:

If you don’t own a Pixel, this port will not work just yet. Please do not disturb the developers for supporting non-Pixel devices.
