Google Nest Hub Max can now make Duo and Meet group video calls

Google announced the Nest Hub and the Nest Hub Max smart displays last summer. These smart displays are typically Google Home smart speakers paired with 7″ and 10″ displays, respectively, that are useful for watching videos or interacting with them using touch besides Google Assistant. The bigger one of the two i.e. the Google Nest Hub Max also features a 12MP camera that can be used for video calling. Until now you could only use the camera for one-on-one video calls but now, the Nest Hub Max can make group video calls on Duo and Google Meet.

One feature that we’ve come to really appreciate during these testing times is video calling. With the Google Nest Hub Max, you can now make group video calls on Duo. You can start by creating new groups in the Duo app on your smartphone and then saying, “Hey Google, make a group call.” In the case of more than one group, you will be asked to select the group you wish to connect to. The camera on the Nest Hub Max is powered by a Sony IMX277 sensor and supports “auto-framing,” which basically means that it can pan the video of the camera based on where you are to ensure you’re always in the frame even when you’re moving.

A couple of weeks ago, the company had increased the limit for participants in a group Duo call from 12 to 32 and the same limit also applies to group calls on the Nest Hub Max. Duo group calling is also available on smart displays from other companies including LG XBOOM AI ThinQ WK9 Smart Display, JBL Link View, and Lenovo’s 8″ and 10″ Smart Displays.

Besides Duo, you can also join virtual meetings on Google Meet using the Nest Hub Max by saying “Hey Google, start a meeting” and then enter the meeting code. You can also skip the second step by saying “Hey Google, join my next meeting.”

Back in April, Google had extended Meet to free users keeping the limitations on physical meetings due to the outbreak of COVID-19, shortly after dropping the Hangouts branding. With this, up to 100 users can join a meeting for free.

Amazfit GTR and Amazfit GTS get updated with support for tracking daytime naps

A vast majority of smartwatches and fitness bands launched in the last year or so offer a sleep tracking feature that lets users keep a close eye on their sleep schedule. The feature can help you easily track your sleeping pattern and identify any potential disorders that you might need to address. However, most smartwatches and fitness bands don’t include the option to track your sleeping pattern during daytime hours, which leaves a major gap in the collected data for those of you who are fans of siestas or work night time shifts. To address this issue, Chinese wearables manufacturer Huami has now released an update for its Amazfit GTR (review) and Amazfit GTS (review) smartwatches that enables support for tracking daytime naps.

Amazfit XDA Forums

As per a recent report from TizenHelp, the latest firmware update for the Amazfit GTR and Amazfit GTS brings support for monitoring sporadic naps during the day. According to the firmware update log, the feature will allow users to monitor their sleeping patterns during the day, as long as they sleep for more than 20 minutes. The data collected during daytime naps will now also be added to the deep sleep, light sleep, and time awake information, and it will affect your sleep score in the Amazfit app.

Huami Amazfit GTS Amazfit GTR firmware update

The latest firmware releases, version 1.3.5.77 for the Amazfit GTR and version 0.0.9.12 for the Amazfit GTS, are now rolling out to users in Vietnam. To install the latest firmware, you’ll need to update the Amazfit app to the 4.5.3 release. Once the update is successfully installed, your smartwatch will automatically detect the new firmware and install it. As of now, we have no official information from Huami regarding a wider rollout but we expect the firmware to hit other regions in the coming weeks.

LG’s new wireless earbuds have a self-cleaning charging case and Google Assistant

Like many companies that make smartphones, LG also has its own line of wireless earbuds. Last year, the company launched the LG TONE Free earbuds with Google Assistant support in the US. LG is back with another pair of wireless earbuds in this lineup and they retain one of the coolest features.

The new earbuds seem to be called LG TONE Free again (model HBS-FN6), but they feature an all-new design. Last year’s model had rubber ear tips and sort of a flat rounded rectangle that hung out of your ear. The new model also features rubber tips, but it has a more familiar stem design that is common in wireless earbuds. They come in black and white color options.

The charging case looks pretty much the same as last year. It’s a round “puck” with smoothed-over edges. The coolest feature of the case is LG’s “UVnano” self-cleaning technology. With the built-in ultraviolet light, the case can eliminate 99.9% of E. coli and S. aureus from the non-toxic, hypoallergenic ear tips and inner mesh. The case provides an additional three full charges for the wireless earbuds as well.

In terms of audio quality, LG’s TONE Free wireless earbuds feature customized EQ sound settings developed by Meridian. The four presets include Natural, Immersive, Bass Boost, and Treble Boost. Ambient Sound Mode lets wearers hear what’s going on around them with the press of a button. The earbuds also have dual mics which are useful for the Google Assistant integration.

LG will be launching the TONE Free wireless earbuds next month in Europe and North America. The company did not share pricing at this time, though last year’s model cost $199.

Key Specifications:

Earbud Size: 16.1 x 32.77 x 25.0mm
Charging Case Size: 54.6 x 54.6 x 27.5mm
Battery Capacity
- Earbuds: 55mAh x 2

Paranoid Android releases beta builds for the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro

Since its inception, Paranoid Android has garnered a strong fan following across the aftermarket Android development scene. The team behind the popular custom ROM recently released the “Quartz 3” revision of Paranoid Android, which brought in a truckload of new features like new accent colors, a Data Switch tile, and access to Pixel Feature Drop 3-related functionalities. Veteran PA developers Alexander Koskovich and Chris Crump, also known as XDA Recognized Developer ZVNexus and XDA Senior Member sirhc respectively, have now decided to bring all the goodness of Paranoid Android Quartz 3 to the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro. Notably, these are the first publicly available AOSP-based custom ROMs for the OnePlus 8 series on our forums.

OnePlus 8 XDA Forums ||| OnePlus 8 Pro XDA Forums

The current release is tagged as beta, primarily because there are some known issues related to the fingerprint sensor and brightness, especially on the OnePlus 8 Pro. As a result, you can’t find the builds listed on PA’s official download portal as of now. Interested users need to visit the discussion threads instead and download the unified beta build from the mirrors provided by the developers.

It is worth mentioning that the installation process is a tad bit different from the usual affair. The current form of the ROM is more of a collection of individual partition images that you have to flash using the Fastboot interface. The developer duo probably took this route to avoid the limitations of the unofficial TWRP build. The flashing process will require you to factory reset your device, so do perform a backup beforehand.

The initial version of Paranoid Android for the OnePlus 8/8 Pro utilizes a modified version of the stock kernel as a placeholder. XDA Recognized Developer arter97 is working to port the PA kernel to these phones. Until then, early adopters are advised to stick with the default kernel.

Advertisements can soon show feeds in a Google Ads app campaign and deep link from YouTube and Gmail

With all the devices and services that Google offers to consumers, it’s easy to forget that a large part of what the company does revolves around advertisements. Google is responsible for a lot of the ads you see around the Internet, and it’s also how people make money from ads. Google recently announced some new ways for customers to reach their marketing goals.

Here’s a quick summary of the announcements:

Test My Site: revamped microsite for providing marketers and developers recommendations on increasing site speed and performance
Feeds in App campaigns / Deferred deep linking: helps brands surface a wide range of products directly in their ads and brings users to the specific app product page upon app open
Deep linking expansion: originally available on Search, Display, and Shopping ads, we’re expanding deep linking from YouTube, Hotel, Gmail, and Discovery ads.
Ad destination report: new report type to help understand where consumers are landing and converting from ads.

There are a couple of features to dive into a little deeper. First, Feeds in App Campaigns and Deferred deep linking. In the screenshots below, you can see a couple of different feeds in app campaigns across Google and YouTube. A feed is essentially just a list of products that are defined in a unique way. In the example above, you can see products organized by subcategory and “Top Products.”

Deferred deep linking is all about smoothly transitioning users from an ad to an app. Above, you can see how a user can tap a product in the Wish ad, install the app from the Play Store, and then be taken directly to the product in the app. You don’t have to install the app and then go hunt for the product you saw in the ad.

Deep linking is a feature that makes it easy for users to tap something in an ad and go directly to the relevant page in an app. Google is expanding this feature to YouTube and Gmail. In the example above, an ad for groceries appears under a YouTube cooking video. The user can tap “Shop Now” and be taken directly to the store’s app.

These features are great for advertisers and users alike. Anything that makes it easier for people to take immediate action without breaking the flow is a good thing to retain shopper interest. Google urges advertisers to visit the Advertising Solutions Center for more information.

Apple Music for Android gets gapless playback and Android Auto enhancements

While it may not be a favorite for diehard Android fans, Apple Music is certainly popular in the music streaming space. According to a research firm, it was estimated that Apple Music is just behind Spotify in market share. Clearly, there are Android users who use Apple Music, and the app just got updated with some nice features.

Apple Music v3.3.0 for Android adds gapless music playback. For those unfamiliar with the term, it simply means there’s no gap between tracks. This becomes really important when you’re listening to an album and the songs are supposed to seamlessly blend together. Instead of a jarring bit of silence between tracks, they’ll smoothly transition.

Next up in Apple Music is enhancements to Android Auto and downloads. The “Only showing music available on this device” message that appears when viewing downloads now extends to more views. This makes it more clear that you’re seeing only downloaded content when viewing albums, artists, and songs. Progress on downloads also appears to be tracked better.

The Android Auto “enhancements” aren’t clear, but we presume the experience has just been cleaned up a bit. The changelog also mentions “improved overall app performance.” Apple Music is a solid music streaming option and the Android app gained a dark theme and Chromecast support last year. Version 3.3.0 is available right now in the Google Play Store.
