Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note8 update adds video lock screen support

If you thought the video lock screens on the Samsung Galaxy S9 were cool and you own one of the Galaxy S8/S8+ or Note8 devices, then you’re in luck. You get access to this feature with the new update. You just need to head over to the Backgrounds tab of Samsung themes to select a premade video wallpaper. If you want to use one of your own videos, just head to the Gallery app and tap on the three dots menu located on the top right corner and then choose “Set as background.” The latest update also brings with it the June security patch.

If everything goes according to plan, LG V20 users on Fido’s network can expect their phones to get an important update soon. According to the carrier’s official update schedule page, the V20 is expected to get Android Oreo next month. Fido didn’t specify what date but we’re hoping they’re sticking to the plan. Also, hopefully this means the OS update is coming to other V20 devices, too.

Is this the title of ‘Avengers 4?’

Eagle-eyed fans discovered something over the weekend. They were checking out the resume page of Avengers 4 cinematographer Trent Opaloch and discovered he listed the second part of Avengers: Infinity War as Avengers: End Game. He has since updated this listing to Avengers 4 but it’s already gotten fans speculating. Some saying this refers to the scene in Infinity War where Doctor Strange has been looking for all the possible outcomes in the battle with Thanos to see if there was an ending where the Avengers win against him and he only finds one. He told Iron Man as he handed the Time Stone to Thanos that, “We’re in the end game now.” This possibly hints to that and that everything that’s happened is part of Doctors Strange’s plans.

But we won’t hold our breaths that this is right. As Comicbook.com has pointed out co-director Joe Russo has denied in an interview back in May that the film’s title would be based on a line of dialogue in Infinity War.

Google releases ‘near-final’ version of Android P beta

The third beta version of Android P is here and we’re getting a “near-final” look at the operating system before it officially goes live later in the summer. According to Google engineering VP Dave Burke, this latest beta is an “early release candidate build” that “takes us very close to what you’ll see in the final version of Android P.” The focus of this update it seems is on bug fixes and optimizations, which is a big deal for developers because the system behaviors and APIs are supposed to be close to final state. And that means, they can start testing their apps to see if it works with their apps.

Burke has also announced that the Android engineering team will be hosting a Reddit AMA on July 19 to answer technical questions about the new operating system.
