TeamViewer’s QuickSupport App now supports remote control for many Xiaomi, OPPO, and Pixel devices

With social distancing rules in place, it’s probably been a while since you were able to troubleshoot your relative’s tech issues in person. And with many businesses closed down, it can be that much harder to find the support you’re looking for. Thankfully, TeamViewer’s QuickSupport app makes it easy to troubleshoot issues from afar. And now thanks to expanded support via a universal add-on app for Android, many Google Pixel, Xiaomi, and OPPO smartphones can be remotely controlled to help mom or dad figure out what’s wrong with their phone.

According to TeamViewer (via AndroidPolice), its QuickSupport app now features the ability to remotely control basically all Android devices running Android 7 Nougat and later. Before, some Android devices with the TeamViewer app installed only supported screen sharing but not the ability to control a device remotely.

Once you download TeamViewer’s universal add-on, you’ll need to enable the service as shown in the screenshots above so you can provide remote support. This might be ideal in situations when you need to show a relative how to do something or when an IT department has to troubleshoot a device.

With travel essentially banned in many places stilled and large gatherings heavily discouraged, TeamViewer’s solution might be the best way to provide technical support for family. And with wider support for TeamViewer’s universal add-on, solving devices issues from afar has never been easier.

Android 11 Beta 3 is here, removing the location requirement for COVID-19 contact tracing apps

Google released Android 11 Beta 2 last month, pushing the new update for the Android OS to “platform stability” status. This was followed by the Beta 2.5 release, which is more of a bug-fix release instead of a proper increment. Between each release, there are a lot of announced and unannounced changes to spot, just as we found for Beta 1 and Beta 2. While we rub our hands in anticipation of the stable release that is expected around September 8, Google has now released Android 11 Beta 3, the final scheduled beta before the official stable release.

Android 11 News on XDA

Android 11 Beta 2 represented the Platform Stability milestone, which meant that all app-facing behaviors are final as they exist in the release. Android 11 Beta 3 hence focuses on helping developers put their finishing touches in their apps as they prepare for Android 11. This includes targeting the official API 30 SDK and building with the new tools and updates available through Android Studio. This Beta 3 build thus represents what you can expect with the first official Android 11 stable update, minus any major bugs that may be spotted and fixed in the time gap.

 

If you are an Android app developer, now is a good time to finish your compatibility testing and publish your updates soon. For SDKs, libraries, tools, and game engine developers, it’s even more important to release a compatible version as the changes you hold onto will delay other developers that rely on your work.

This release is not expected to have any major unannounced changes, but we will still be on the lookout for them.

As for announced changes, Android 11 Beta 3 includes an update for Exposure Notifications System (ENS), Google and Apple’s COVID-19 contact tracing API. Now, users can run apps using ENS without needing to turn on device location settings on Android 11. Google says that this exception is being made for apps utilizing the Exposure Notification System only, given that it has been designed in such a way that the COVID-19 tracing apps using it can’t infer device location through Bluetooth scanning. This should address some of the privacy concerns that users and developers had within the context of these apps. While we do appreciate the change, we do need to look at how many users will be getting access to Android 11 within the next few months as opposed to the total number of Android users. Note that to protect user privacy, all other apps will still be prohibited from performing Bluetooth scanning unless the device location setting is on and the user has granted them the location permission.

Download Android 11 Beta 3 for Google Pixel devices

The Android 11 Beta 3 update should be arriving through an OTA update to your supported Google Pixel device if you had enrolled in the Beta program. But in case it hasn’t, you can download Android 11 Beta 1 for supported Google Pixel devices from the following links:

Android TV’s new Cast Connect library will enable remote control support for casted videos

Casting video content to your Android TV device will hopefully feel more native in the near future thanks to the introduction of Cast Connect. As pointed out by Twitter user Android TV Guide, this new feature will have the benefit of making it possible to use your remote control for casted videos.

A Google developer page explains how the new Cast Connect library works. It builds on top of the Google Cast infrastructure with the Android TV device acting as the Cast Receiver. After integrating the library, Android TV apps can receive Cast messages and broadcast media status as if they were actual Google Cast devices. Google says that in addition to loading media and playback control, the Cast Connect library also features media metadata, custom messages, repeat/shuffle, and sender join/leave events. Here’s a video from Google aimed at helping developers understand how to integrate this library:

In essence, content that’s casted from, say, your phone to your Android TV will be handled by a supported app instead of being opened up in an HTML5 player. As a consequence, you’ll be able to control content using an existing remote control rather than, say, your phone. That makes the casting experience feel more integrated, and it’s also better for users since the dedicated Android TV app may support more features and codecs than the generic HTML5 player. And if a supported app isn’t detected or if there’s a mismatch in user profiles when casting, then the Cast Connect library will initiate the session using the HTML5 player as a fallback.

As of now, developers must add Cast Connect support to their Android TV apps for the new features to work. Google also notes that Assistant functionality isn’t fully supported by Cast Connect at the moment, which means you won’t be able to control casted content by voice.

PUBG Mobile now supports 90fps gameplay on the OnePlus 8 Pro, 8, 7T Pro, 7T, and 7 Pro as a timed exclusive

Most recent OnePlus smartphones have been praised for their high performance, often also judged as the best in class. This performance is not only great for daily usage of the phone, but it also translates very well for gaming on these smartphones. OnePlus attempted to leverage the gaming prowess of its flagship with a collaboration with Fortnite that allowed the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro to run Fortnite at 90fps. Now, OnePlus is taking another step, as it has announced that it is collaborating with PUBG Mobile to bring 90fps gameplay to the OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 7T, OnePlus 7T Pro, and the OnePlus 7 Pro as a timed exclusive.

OnePlus 8 XDA Forums || OnePlus 8 Pro XDA Forums

The Chinese version of PUBG Mobile, called “Game for Peace” already supports high fps gameplay on several Android devices. But the PUBG Mobile, aka the global version, limits gameplay to 60fps across all devices. With this partnership, gamers can now play PUBG Mobile at 90fps on the OnePlus 8 series, the OnePlus 7T series, and the OnePlus 7 Pro. The high fps gameplay remains exclusive to these OnePlus devices from August 6, 2020, to September 6, 2020. Another point to note, this experience is available to OnePlus users worldwide with the exception of those in Mainland China, Japan, and Korea.

It isn’t immediately clear whether this 90fps gameplay comes with its own limitation, as was present with the Fortnite 90fps gameplay. On Fortnite, choosing 90fps would set the display quality back to low. So while users did get a smoother experience, the details in the game’s landscape would only render as they moved closer to them. We wouldn’t be surprised if PUBG Mobile also included some limitations, even though the device hardware (especially on the latest flagships) is more than capable enough to handle high graphics.

Google’s new In-App Review API lets developers ask for Play Store reviews without leaving the app

In an APK teardown of the Play Store app (v15.9.21) late last month, we learned that Google was working on a way to let users review Play Store apps through an in-app dialog. At the time, we spotted a new Activity called “com.google.android.finsky.inappreviewdialog.InAppReviewActivity” that would bring up an app review dialog to help users rate an app without the need to head over to the app’s Play Store listing. Google has now launched the In-App Review API, which will allow developers to add the in-app review dialog to their apps.

According to a recent blog post from the company, the new API will let developers add an in-app review dialog to their app and choose when they wish to prompt users to write reviews. The API, which is part of the Play Core Library, supports both public and private reviews. As you can see in the attached image, the API will add a new dialog to apps that will let users easily leave a star rating for any app, without leaving the app.

Once a user selects a rating, the dialog will give them the option to leave a written review before the rating is submitted. To ensure that the in-app review process is seamless for users, Google has highlighted four steps for the API integration for developers:

1. Define the conditions and best place to ask for a review
2. Request the review flow to the API
3. Launch the review at an appropriate moment
4. Continue the flow after the review is completed

Google adds that the API has been designed to be self-contained and it doesn’t require additional prompting, to ensure user feedback is unbiased. Furthermore, the company has placed cap limits on the in-app reviews, so that users aren’t prompted excessively if they choose not to leave a review.

Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices

MIUI 12 is the newest big release for Xiaomi smartphones, perhaps even bigger than an Android version jump. Features on Xiaomi devices are dictated more by their MIUI versions than the underlying Android version, so a MIUI version upgrade is an exciting event. The first batch of devices to receive the MIUI 12 stable update included the Xiaomi Mi 9, Redmi K20/Mi 9T, and Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro. As we reach the end of June 2020, Xiaomi’s first phase of MIUI 12 rollout is complete, as many more devices have been added since the initial rollout. This article will serve as the central repository of download links for all Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices that have received their official MIUI 12 stable updates. We’ll update it regularly with fresh builds!

MIUI 12: Features

MIUI 12 was announced in April 2020, following the footsteps of MIUI 11 that gained massive popularity thanks to Xiaomi’s hardware push as well as the feature abundance within the UX.

MIUI 12 Hands-on: 12 interesting new features added in Xiaomi’s Android OS

MIUI 12 brings along a cleaner UI, new animations, changes to navigation gestures, new live wallpapers, and AOD designs, privacy indicators for the microphone, camera, and location usage, improvements to multi-window, and Picture-in-Picture, an in-built sleep tracker, and many more changes throughout the UX!

Generic flashing instructions are available at the bottom of this article. However, we advise users to refer to the device forums for specific flashing instructions for their device, in case there are any variations or special instructions that need to be followed.

Another important point to note: Xiaomi follows only a thin distinction between “beta stable” update and “stable” updates. Beta stable updates are only intended for users enrolled within the Mi Pilot beta testing program, meaning that builds assigned for this group will not install on devices with Mi Accounts that do not have the requisite permission. Once the Mi Pilot beta testers give positive feedback, the same build then gets opened up as stable release, creating a lot of confusion — for instance, the same builds linked below might first fail to install, but then they will make an appearance through the official OTA. If you get the error message that the update is for closed beta testers only, you can sideload the update through TWRP.

Flashing Instructions for MIUI 12

Note that these are generic flashing instructions that should generally be applicable across Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices. However, there is a possibility that there is a variation that is unique to your device, so we strongly advise visiting your device forums for device-specific instructions.

Recovery ROM Installation for MIUI 12

Recovery ROMs come with a .zip file extension and can be installed either through the Local Update method from within MIUI, or through the Xiaomi stock recovery. You can also use a custom recovery like TWRP for installing these ROMs, though do note that device-specific instructions may differ in that case.

1. Local Update method:
   1. Transfer the download .zip file to your phone, and ensure you place the file in the “downloaded_rom” folder in the internal storage of your device. If no such folder exists, create one in your internal storage base directory.
   2. Within your phone, navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Update, and then press the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, and select “Choose Update Package”.
   3. If the “Choose Update Package” option is missing, tap on the MIUI logo 10 times to activate the option.
   4. Choose the downloaded .zip file.
   5. Wait for the update to install.
2. Recovery method:
   1. Rename the downloaded .zip file to update.zip and transfer it to the base directory of your phone’s internal storage.
   2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode by powering it off and then pressing both the Power and the Volume Up buttons together.
   3. Scroll to the “Install update.zip” option using the volume keys, and select the option using the power button.
   4. Wait for the update to install.
   5. Choose the “Reboot” option if your phone does not reboot by itself after installation is completed.

Fastboot ROM Installation for MIUI 12

Fastboot ROMs come with a .tgz file extension and require a Windows computer for the installation, as well as a phone with an unlocked bootloader. However, despite being comparatively more complicated to install than Recovery ROMs, Fastboot ROMs are sometimes the only way to boot into a working system. For instructions on unlocking the bootloader of your phone, check your device’s subforums on XDA.

1. Download MiFlash Tool on your Windows computer. The latest version can be found in Step 1 of this link. Once downloaded, extract the tool and install it. It is also advisable to have ADB and Fastboot installed, just in case you need it.
2. Reboot your phone into Download mode by powering it off and then pressing both the Power and Volume Down buttons together.
3. Connect your phone to the computer using the appropriate USB cable.
4. Download the Fastboot ROM .tgz file and extract it. Remember the extract location, as you will need to paste the address into MiFlash Tool.
5. Run MiFlash Tool on your Windows Computer and in the address bar within the tool, paste the extract location from Step 4.
6. Click “Refresh” within MiFlash and the app should automatically recognize your device.
7. Click “Run” within MiFlash to flash the ROM file to the device.
8. The progress bar within MiFlash will turn green, which indicates that the ROM was successfully installed. Your device should boot automatically to the new version.

[Update 2: Pricing & Launch Date] Here’s our first look at the Nest successor to the original Google Home speaker

Update 2 (8/6/2020 @ 06:54 AM ET): Leaker Roland Quandt has shared preliminary information on the pricing and launch date of the new Nest smart speaker.

Update 1 (7/9/2020 @ 08:55 PM ET): Google just surprised us with an image and video showing off the new Nest smart speaker. See the update section below for the official teaser image and video. The original article, as published earlier today at 10:22 AM EST, is as follows.

The Nest Mini (formerly known as “Google Home Mini“) has become an incredibly popular little smart speaker. However, Google’s ambitions with Assistant-enabled speakers started with the original Google Home 4 years ago. That device is long overdue for a successor and it appears one is on the way.

A new Google device recently passed through the FCC with model number GXCA6. At first, it wasn’t clear if this would be the previously leaked “Sabrina” Android TV dongle. However, new photos from the Japanese Wireless Standards website (via @AndroidTV_Rumor) reveal a clearly different device than what was shown in the leaked promo videos. This is a new Google Nest smart speaker.

The device pictured features a similar design to previous Nest Mini speakers, but it is stretched taller and wider into an oblong cylinder. It’s covered in Google’s familiar fabric in what appears to be a gray or pink-ish “Sand” color. One side features the Google logo, a mute switch, and the power cord port. The bottom is smooth plastic with another embossed Google logo.

According to the ruler in the photos, this new Nest device is considerably taller than the original Google Home and Home Max. The documentation calls it an “interactive media streaming device” and it has the typical smart speaker features. WiFi and Bluetooth are on board and it’s powered by the proprietary 30W DC power supply.

Rumors of a successor to the original Google Home have popped up as recently as last month. It is allegedly known internally as “prince” and will feature larger speaker drivers than the original. The size of the device in the leaked photos certainly points to that being the case. Google may have planned to announce this Nest speaker at Google I/O this year, though the timing of these filings seems to point toward a Fall release.

Update 1: Official Teaser

A spokesperson for Google reached out to us a few minutes ago to share an official photo of the new oblong-shaped Google Nest smart speaker. They also shared a video with us, which we posted on Twitter and can be seen below.

Here’s the 13 second video they shared with us. pic.twitter.com/TMw9HSeSbC
