Google remedies Android Auto issue that won’t let users read or reply to messages

One of the newest issues Google had to address with Android Auto is a core feature people would use the car platform for: being able to read and reply to messages. The bigger problem, though, was being able to reply to messages. When users tried to reply to a message from any app using Android Auto, the system would say that “I don’t know how to do that yet” or “I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that right now.” And it wasn’t a problem isolated to a device or car model or even Android/Google/Android Auto app versions. Thankfully, the issue has finally been resolved. Google advises to update the Google app but there was also a fix in a server-side update.

‘Wonder Woman 2’ gets officially announced

It isn’t something that surprises us in any way but at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Bros. officially announces that Wonder Woman 2 is happening and Gal Gadot will be reprising her role as Diana Prince a.k.a. Wonder Woman. The first film is considered the DC Extended Universe’s most profitable movie yet with it grossing around US$767.7 million worldwide since it hit theatres on June 2^nd. It quickly surpassed other DCEU films like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad. It also broke records for director Patty Jenkins as the film became the highest-grossing live-action movie to be directed by a woman.

Speaking of Jenkins, Warner Bros. hasn’t announced yet if she’ll be coming back as her deal was for one movie. But she has spoken before about her plans for the sequel, where she wants to take Wonder Woman back to America. Here’s to hoping she gets to tell the tale again. No word on when the film might come out as well.

Razer might be looking to get into the smartphone business

Is a Razer smartphone in the works? Apparently, it is. A new report from Bloomberg claims the company is working on one. And it’s targeting an IPO in Hong Kong around October that could value the business at US$5 billion. According to the report, some of the funds will be used to build this gaming-centric smartphone. It’s not an unlikely move for the company, even with its current focus on gaming laptops and peripherals. Razer bought smartphone company Nextbit earlier this year. They have said it’ll operate as an independent company but they haven’t really spoken about plans for Nextbit since then.

We won’t know at the moment if the phone will be sold under Nextbit or Razer and when it could be released—if it does hit the market. But with the IPO scheduled later in the year, we’re sure we’d have to wait until next year for this rumoured smartphone to come out (if it ever does, that is).
