Many streaming services offer user profiles for different people in your household, some of which also include profile images. In most cases, you can set a custom profile image to better differentiate and personalize your account from the others, and HBO Max lets you do the same, albeit, with limited options. Netflix lets you choose between Netflix Originals characters and classic icons, Disney+ does the same with Disney characters, and Prime Video assigns generic images only. As for HBO Max, it only supports different colored rings, though, that's better than Hulu (uses names only) and Apple... more http://dlvr.it/RXd3bD

If you've jumped on board HBO Max to watch more than just HBO's content, such as DC films, Looney Tunes, Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network, and movies from Warner Bros., there is a downside to HBO's improved service. Namely, you cannot use it on all of your devices yet. The most notable omission is Roku players and TVs. But there are workarounds you can use until an official app comes out. For your Roku devices, you're stuck with HBO Now or HBO Go, even though you can use HBO Max on your other supported devices, such as your iPhone or Android phone. AT&T, the owner of Warner Media, has... more http://dlvr.it/RXYLlV

Although Telegram wasn't able to make our roundup for the best encrypted messaging app, it's my go-to for group messaging thanks to its ever-expanding list of features. The app even makes jumping into group chats fun and easy by allowing you to set a home screen shortcut for your favorite Telegram threads. To add a group chat to your home screen, open the chat and select the group's icon in the top left corner of (if there's no icon, it'll be the first two letters of the group name). Choose the menu button in the upper right corner and select "Add to Home Screen." Select "Add" in the prompt... more http://dlvr.it/RXXMfv

5G is here. Well, not everywhere. All three wireless carriers have turned on their 5G networks, but only in select markets. Like 4G, each carrier is doing things a bit differently, which means your 5G experience will not be the same across the board. With the 5G rollout being in its early stages, things are a bit rough for the moment. Switching to 5G can be pretty expensive for wireless carriers, so deployment will take a few years before it is complete. But if you happen to be in one of the areas with 5G or one of the lucky markets getting it soon, here's what to look forward to. Jump to a... more http://dlvr.it/RXTx5c

5G is undoubtedly the future of mobile networks, and there's a good chance your next phone will have it. But just like with 4G, as carriers race to get the best 5G coverage, the ones running behind are abusing marketing terms to make themselves seem further ahead than they actually are. Unfortunately, not every carrier's 5G network is the same. Despite an agreed-upon standard developed by 3GPP (the organization behind previous standards like 3G and 4G LTE), some providers have decided to repackage their LTE network as 5G. So below, we'll strip away the marketing terms and look at what makes a... more http://dlvr.it/RXS0hf

In 2018, Niantic unveiled its in-development augmented reality cloud platform for smartphones, the Niantic Real World Platform. A demo showed Pikachu and Eevee cavorting in a courtyard, darting in front of and behind potted plants and people's legs as they walked through the scene. This would be the future of Pokémon GO. That proof of concept is now about to arrive in the game itself with a new feature called Reality Blending, which will roll out to Samsung Galaxy S9 and S10 and Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 4 handsets in early June, with additional devices joining the fun later. Don't Miss:... more http://dlvr.it/RXNvyZ

In 2009, 4G LTE networks rolled out in Stockholm and Oslo, replacing 3G as a better upgrade to the mobile data technology that gives us the broadband speeds we have on our mobile devices. Over a decade later, and we have the latest, next-generation wireless network technology among us, 5G, but can you even use it? New 5G networks will make your life a whole lot better, with faster downloads, improved upload speeds, and decreased latency (the delay between devices). Some mobile phones are already equipped to handle 5G signals, but not everyone can take advantage of the increased speeds... more http://dlvr.it/RX7KP0

It's open season on Zoom, the video conferencing platform that has grown in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic but has come under fire due to privacy issues. First, Google has opened up Meet, its video conferencing services for G-Suite subscribers, as a free service for anyone with a Google account. Now, Facebook has rolled out Messenger Rooms, which can support up to 50 people with no time limit and the added bonus of AR effects via the Messenger app. However, Facebook has its own history of criticism for its privacy practices. So, how can you ensure that your Room is private... more http://dlvr.it/RX6gj8

Last year, many were caught off guard when Google released a midrange Pixel device. Priced below $400, the Pixel 3a was quickly crowned the best value-buy camera phone on the market, as it brought most of the camera tech people loved in the flagship Pixel 3 for almost half the cost. Google plans to continue this series in 2020 with a phone that will debut very soon. The Pixel 4a appears to be a worthy upgrade for Pixel 3a owners looking for more power and a better camera at a sub-$500 price tag. One thing to note is that Google may be dropping the XL version of this phone. This would lower... more http://dlvr.it/RX5g05

Getting files from an Android device to a Mac or iOS device is not always easy or convenient, and the same goes for transferring content from a Mac or iOS device to an Android device. But we're here to tell you there is a better way than using USB cables, email, and cloud storage, and it gives you the look and feel of AirDrop. Google has a file transfer tool called Android File Transfer, but you need to connect to your computer with a USB cable, it doesn't always work great (or at all), and it leaves out iOS support. Then there's Apple's aforementioned AirDrop, but it only works on Apple... more http://dlvr.it/RX357W

Eventually, we all get tired of our home screens. There's nothing wrong with it, but after hundreds of times seeing the same thing, it all starts looking a bit stale. You can rearrange icons and widgets, or even just pick a new wallpaper — but sometimes, your layout is perfect and you still want a fresh look. Well, thanks to Action Launcher and icon packs, this is really easy to accomplish. Installing an icon pack basically allows you to change the theme of your home screen. Each pack usually has a unique set of icons for all of the standard system apps, such as Gmail, Google Calendar, and... more http://dlvr.it/RWyK74

With Avatar, Facebook's personalized stickers for use on its social and messaging platforms, those who aren't on Facebook or have otherwise dumped the social network may feel left out. Whatever your reasons for shunning Facebook may be, there are other ways, each with its distinctive style, to generate a cartoon likeness of yourself to add fun reactions to your posts and chats.

Android's next major update has already been released for testing. But typically, stock Android lags behind Samsung's One UI skin in terms of functionality, so some of the features will be old news to Galaxy users when Android 11 hits their phones in early 2021. Still, there's plenty to get excited about. Below, we listed all of the changes that will actually be new features for Galaxy users if Samsung doesn't remove them from its One UI 3.0 update. None of the things like screen recording that Google is just now catching up on — this is the stuff you should actually care about. And if you're... more http://dlvr.it/RWv67D

Last year, many were caught off guard when Google released a midrange Pixel device. Priced below $500, the Pixel 3a and 3a XL were fantastic buys as they brought the most of the camera technology people loved in the Pixel 3 to budget devices. Rumors indicate Google plans to continue this series. The Pixel 4a appears to be a worthy upgrade for Pixel 3a owners looking for more power and a better camera at a sub-$500 price tag. One thing to note is that Google may be dropping the XL version of this phone.

Whether you're calling the unemployment office, a popular radio contest, or any other phone line that gets super busy, having to recall the number manually is a pain. Whatever you do, however, don't punch in the same digits over again and again — our smartphones can help do it for us, saving our time (and sanity). There are a few ways you can utilize your smartphone to help you continuously redial a busy phone line, depending on whether you have an iPhone or Android phone. Both devices have a baked-in feature that makes redialing much easier, but they also have their own unique methods for... more http://dlvr.it/RWlB7C

After disappointing sales of the Galaxy S20, Samsung is ready to get the ball rolling on its second series of flagships, the Galaxy Note. Many of the new changes will make their way to this series, including the model number jump, as the Galaxy Note 10 sequel will be called the Galaxy Note 20. So far, leaks indicate this will be a big change for existing Galaxy Note users. After delivering one of the biggest year-to-year updates in the Galaxy S20, Samsung is slowing things down with the second flagship launch. Similar to Apple's S series and OnePlus's T series, this year's Note is better than... more http://dlvr.it/RWkrcS

Dark themes are all the rage these days, and both Android and iOS have system-wide versions. Many big-name apps and device manufacturers have already jumped on board the night train, and Google Chrome is no different. But the Chrome mobile browser offers various ways to enable its dark theme. The dark theme is available in the latest stable version of Chrome and has been since Chrome 78, so you don't need to mess around with experimental apps like Chrome Dev or Canary. Best of all, it can be tied to the system-wide dark modes on both Android and iOS. However, dark mode in Chrome only themes... more http://dlvr.it/RWjGf5

Your Galaxy's lock screen already lets you know there's no SIM card installed if it's missing on your device, so there's really no need to have a persistent icon for it on the status bar. If you want to hide the pesky symbol and accompanying notification for good, there's a nifty app you need to check out right now. Granted, you can snooze the "No SIM Installed" alert by swiping sideways on the notification and hitting the bell button, but that's temporary. You'll need to install a third-party app to hide the alert for good — in this case, the aptly named Hide Persistent Notifications. At $2... more http://dlvr.it/RWgYvN

Google Meet might not have virtual backgrounds like Zoom, but it hits all of the other basics, from hosting many multiples of video participants to sharing your screen, that you'd expect from a robust video conferencing platform. However, one of those essential features, sharing attachments with your audience, is not as obvious. The reason why, ironically, lies in one of Meet's biggest strengths: its deep integration with other Google apps. But once you know how Google's services feed into each other, it's actually pretty easy to attach any file type to Meet. Don't Miss: How to Use Snapchat... more http://dlvr.it/RWfjxN

The Los Angeles Rams are the latest NFL franchise to introduce new or modified uniforms for the 2020 season, joining the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and their neighbors, the Los Angeles Chargers.

As phones' screens get closer to seven inches, now is the perfect time to take advantage of Android's split-screen mode. This feature has available since Android 7.0 Nougat and allows you to divide the screen into two halves, with a different app on each side. Although Picture-in-Picture mode steps on its toes in functionality by allowing you to watch videos in a smaller overlay window, there is still value in using split-screen mode. Namely, when reading one of our many how-tos articles on your phone. With this feature, you can have your browser open on one half and the corresponding app on... more http://dlvr.it/RWbXz7

Google's strategy for updating its apps with dark mode options is apparently "one at a time" and "as slow as possible." Even after the company added a dark theme to many of its apps for Android and iOS, such as Calendar, Chrome, Keep, and Photos, Gmail seemed to remain "light" for the longest time. However, the app now supports dark mode on both mobile OSs. Here's how to enable it. Since Android is a Google creation, it only makes sense that its Gmail app received a dark mode before the iOS counterpart. Still, Apple unveiled system-wide dark mode with iOS 13 in September 2019. While reports... more http://dlvr.it/RWb4Ff

When you post a photo or video on Instagram, it's always nice to see positive comments from friends, family, and even fans. On the other hand, it's never fun to see spam or hate messages underneath your posts. Before, you'd have to delete these comments one by one, but now you can delete comments in bulk. Bulk-deleting comments on Instagram can be accomplished on both iOS and Android devices, but the latter makes things a bit easier. That's not to say the iPhone way is harder, there are just an extra few taps involved, and the iOS app makes up for it with more options. Either way, the feature... more http://dlvr.it/RWX9cK

Threadtear is a multifunctional deobfuscation tool for java. Suitable for easier code analysis without worrying too much about obfuscation. Even the most expensive obfuscators like ZKM or Stringer are included. It also contains older deobfuscation tools from my github account, but it can also be useful for other stuff. Insert debug line numbers to better understand where exceptions originate, or add .printStackTrace() to try catch blocks without re-compiling your code. Reverse compatibility is also not a problem anymore (of course only when no version specific methods are used). Executions An "execution" is a task that is executed and modifies all loaded class files. There are multiple types of executions, varying from bytecode cleanup to string deobfuscation. Make sure to have them in the right order. Cleanup executions for example should be executed at last, but also can help other executions if executed first. Warning Use this tool at your own risk. Some executions use i...

Are you the kind of person to never close tabs in your browser? With so many tabs, the overview menu becomes congested, making it difficult to go back. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you're using Samsung Internet, you can switch the tab overview menu to "List mode." Instead of a large card displaying each tab, each tab is reduced to a small box where you can view multiple tab names and URLs at the same time. Sound interesting?
