OnePlus clarifies the random notifications some OnePlus 7 Pro users received

If you’re a OnePlus 7 Pro user and received a baffling notification on your phone, then you should know you’re not alone and it was a mistake. The company clarified that the push notification wasn’t a result of a hack or attack. Instead, it was an error on the company’s part as they’re testing the Android Q update that’s set to be released later this year. OnePlus assures its users that their personal information wasn’t at risk and the company is implementing new processes to prevent this issue from happening again. The notifications the users got were jumbled up English letters and non-standard characters. When the notification is pressed, it would open up the web browser and show a “Page not found” message.

Samsung reportedly fixes issues with the Galaxy Fold’s screen

The wait for Samsung’s Galaxy Fold might soon be over. According to a report from Bloomberg, the company has supposedly fixed the issues plaguing the company’s first foldable device. According to people familiar with the matter, the phone is now in the final stages of producing the commercial version. The company has wrapped the protective film around the entire display and into the outer bezels of the device, which should prevent people from peeling the film off and rendering the device useless. Some reviewers of the Galaxy Fold learned the hard way that the film wasn’t supposed to be peeled off. Samsung has reportedly pushed the hinge slightly upward to have it flushed against the display. This should stretch the film further when the display is opened.

We’re not sure if Samsung addressed the other issues that journalists ran into with the Galaxy Fold. But we’re assuming that it has. This means it’ll be ready ahead of the holiday season. However, it seems the device won’t be ready by the August 7^th event for the Galaxy Note 10.

Google Pixel C might have been cycled out of security updates

With the July security patch already released, one device that was glaringly missing was Google’s last first-party tablet before the Pixel Slate: the Pixel C. This suggests Google might be ending its support for the 2015 tablet. As we know, Google only guarantees updates “at least 18 months from when the Google Store last sold the device.” The tablet was last seen available at Google’s Store in December 2017. So, this seems to line up with Google’s policy. However, the company hasn’t released any official word on whether it has taken the tablet out of the update cycle.
