T-Mobile is having Android 11 issues on Samsung's Galaxy S20 series

-
Most of the time it feels like T-Mobile customers have it all. Affordable plans, free lines, for Verizon or AT&T, for some of the greatest Android phones out there, not to mention sweet little treats and gifts distributed each week with absolutely no strings attached. But the "Un-carrier" is not perfect, and when it comes to major software updates, its arch-rivals sometimes do a better job of getting things started.  While waiting a few more days for something as big as 's Android 11-based collection of goodies might not be construed as a ...

FTC Drops Antitrust Suit Against Qualcomm

To measure respiratory rate, the camera looks at your head and upper torso to detect "tiny physical signals at the pixel level — like chest movements". To measure heart rate, the user places their finger on the camera lens so the app can measure "subtle changes in the color of your fingers". While the features "aren’t meant for medical diagnosis or to evaluate medical conditions", Google has completed "initial clinical studies" to validate the features. http://dlvr.it/Rs1yx7
