2013 Wi-Fi models of Nexus 7 running on Android Lollipop have video playback issues

It doesn’t come as a surprise that software updates come with the occasional bugs. This time around the new Android 5.0 Lollipop update seems to be causing trouble for some of the 2013 Wi-Fi models of the Google Nexus 7. After updating and watching a few videos, the video player seems to get lost and your system can’t locate it. You won’t be able to access videos using pretty much most players.

We’re hoping Google addresses this soon but temporarily what you can do is watch videos on a different device. Or you can try displaying the “Use NuPlayer” option in the developer options menu, reboot the device, or wipe the cache from your device.

Report claims Spotify and Uber will announce partnership

While Taylor Swift and Spotify won’t ever be getting back together, Spotify looks to be forging a new partnership with ridesharing service Uber. This supposed partnership will allow you to select what Spotify playlist to listen to when you’re in an Uber car. Invites were reportedly sent to the media for a Monday conference call with a “special guest partner” and a “first-of-its-kind partnership.” The invite shows a music staff as seen above.

 We’re not sure how the setup will be and if a separate app will be needed to make this happen but we will keep you posted on updates. Both companies refused to comment about this report.
