Google says the issue is currently limited to Android users in the US, but users in Europe, India, and elsewhere are also reporting the same problem.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Doogee T30 Max tablet is available now on Amazon for around $350. The T30 Max has all the power and battery you want in a tablet, with the added bonus of a brilliant display. The cover that comes with the T30 Max is a bit flimsy, so you'll probably want to find something a bit more substantial.

A Hidden Weakness May 29, 2025 Categories: mozilla This is the story of a bug hunt that lasted much longer than expected, but ended with the dearest of all treasures: knowledge. Let's draw some context: the Android platform defines different API levels. Unsurprisingly, some symbols are only defined starting with a given API version. For instance, ASystemFontIterator_open is only available starting at API 29. Unconditionally trying to use ASystemFontIterator_open while targeting an API older

Andy Walker / Android Authority Many people will argue that the Google Pixel series is the pinnacle of Android smartphones. These devices offer the slickest implementation of the OS I’ve ever used, while including heaps of exclusive features. Google’s constantly adding to this list, further distancing the Pixel line from its contemporaries. But, to be completely frank, Pixels aren’t entirely unique.

Joe Maring / Android Authority The sudden release of the One UI 8 beta was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. It isn’t as significant an update as One UI 7, and the improvements refine rather than revolutionize the experience. Aside from the additions Samsung has made to One UI, there are also some goodies from Android 16. I’ve been using One UI 8 on my Galaxy S25 since the beta was released, and although I like what Samsung has shown us so far, I don’t think you should install the beta

So, with my coffee in one hand and my S25 in the other, I spent my Wednesday morning downloading Samsung’s latest beta software. One UI 8 isn’t nearly as drastic an update as One UI 7 is, but that’s not to say there aren’t any significant new features. In the 24 hours I’ve been using the beta, I’ve found a handful of pretty fantastic changes. Here are

One UI 7 was one of the messiest updates Samsung has had in recent history. It was delayed multiple times, and even the Galaxy S25, which was supposed to launch with a stable One UI 7 build, was missing features until it was updated two months later. Needless to say, this tarnished Samsung’s reputation, but it looks like One UI 8 will bring things back to where they should be, as Samsung has just launched the beta for Galaxy S25 users, only a week after Pixel users received the Android 16 beta.
