The company gave the information through its support page (via Android Police). Google also provided a temporary remedy that all users can try until the fix is available. Users simply have to avoid answering calls from the notification and do it from the app instead. This isn’t a particularly convenient solution, but this is all users can do right now. “We are working on a fix, but in the meantime, a workaround is to try the call once more but have your Duo app open so you can answer the call from within the app instead of via the notification alert,” Google said....

The launcher market is a big one, as some people just aren’t satisfied with what comes with their phones. Several Android OEMs add their own skins on top of the Android operating system, and that can be for better or for worse. Third-party launchers are typically made by smaller companies, and they sometimes introduce features you don’t find from bigger companies. Not only that, but since they’re made by smaller teams, they are, ostensibly, more tailored to what the community wants....

Unboxing it The AMR5 comes in a normal box, but when you open it you’ll see a transparent piece of paper telling you about the three different power modes of the mini-PC (more on this later!). Inside the box is a user manual, a power supply (with power cable), an HDMI cable, and of course the mini-PC itself. The looks It’s a standing design that’s very sci-fi, obviously aimed at appealing to gamers like me....

Much like background processes on phones, there are a lot of unnecessary tasks going on in the background with Android TV that don’t make sense. These are processes that you can live without, and that’s where this low power standby mode comes in. How does this low power standby mode help? When your TV is turned off, the Chromecast or other streaming device would continue to operate. This is different when it comes to apps on the phone, as phone apps often serve legitimate functions in the background....
