Making Android Better – Google Partners with Samsung to Fix Background Apps

Leave a comment

Google I/O 2023 is just around the corner, and we are all quite excited. Apart from the new Pixel 7 series, we are expecting Google to announce a new foldable smartphone. We are also expecting that to be priced like a Samsung foldable, which is not necessarily a good thing. Still, we can look forward to a new Android, a foldable or convertible friendly one at least. They say that it might not look completely different this time round over the 13th generation of Android introduced in the same event last year. Every iteration of Android comes with a slew of its own improvements though, be it in the interface improvements, responsiveness, and even function.

There is a problem that has plagued Google’s mobile ecosystem for a while now though. It has to do with the multitasking capabilities of the interface. While manufacturers like Samsung have been championing multitasking on their devices for a long time, the vanilla Android is quite bad at it, as it seems. One of those problems is that apps tend to shut down when you leave it in the background. That is the opposite of what you want to happen when you are championing your device for multitasking purposes.

Their blog announcement points out a consistency problem of background apps working behind the scenes of your Android smartphone. They say that the Android ecosystem is flawed when it comes to multitasking. They pointed out that foreground services and background work are restricted on different devices by manufacturers. That means that different apps tend to behave differently across devices when they are put on the backburner. That is why you have passive apps that hardly work on your Android devices until you launch them again.

The next step for Google, according to their blog post anyway, is to introduce APIs and standards to ensure their partners adhere to a consistent set of guidelines for app functions on their devices. Samsung, one of the champions in mobile multitasking, is announced to be their first partner to take the step. The new APIs that is to be introduced by Google is not a way to police their partners, rather a set of guidelines to ensure that apps behave consistently on the foreground and background across devices, creating a more consistent Android experience for all users. Allowing for better and more consistent background works on Android also allows app developers to create apps that work better with other apps at the same time, offering better user experiences across the board. Of course, the guidelines will help offer apps that work as intended by the developers.

Google has also stated that all these improvements on foreground and background apps will be introduced in Android 14. The improvements include more user control even on foreground apps and services, smoother large uploads and downloads of user-initiated data transfer jobs via JobScheduler, and a new Google Play policy for appropriate use of foreground services. There are no mentions on whether the first patch of Android 14 will get these treatments or not. We can only tell when they announce Android 14 in the coming Google I/O or when they start shipping their latest Google Pixel out to customers.

SHENZHEN, China, May 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — JMGO N1 Ultra Triple Color Laser Gimbal Projector has secured US$2.24 million on Kickstarter from over 1,700 backers worldwide. The pioneering triple laser-powered projector has become a reliable choice for professionals including Academy Awards-winning filmmakers Adam Leipzig, Edd Lukas, and Rachel Morrison, who appreciate its vivid, accurate color representation, exceptional portability, and plug-and-play features.

The N1 Ultra has been well-received by global media and consumers since its debut in March.  Now the successful journey is joined by Academy Awards-winning filmmakers Adam Leipzig, Edd Lukas, and Rachel Morrison as serious users who are enjoying the “whole cinema experience in a carrying case” provided by the N1 Ultra. The addition of Academy Awards-winning filmmakers as users who are more sensitive about visual performances and image qualities undoubtedly is another recognition of N1 Ultra’s picture quality.

Will Wang, Chief Product Officer of JMGO, said, “We are thrilled to see the color representation of the N1 Ultra recognized by Oscar-winning producers and cinematographers. As an industry leader and a user-oriented company, we will continue to push the limits of optical technology to refine the picture quality of laser projectors and bring the cinematic experience to more global users.”

A Projector Recognized by Filmmakers
Filmmakers need precise color representation, clarity, and contrast in their professional monitors to ensure the productivity of their work. Now, the cinematic picture quality allows the N1 Ultra to become a new, reliable choice for them to capture every detail of the scene. The projector covers an ultra-wide color gamut of 110% BT.2020, which is equivalent to 155% DCI-P3, a widely adopted color standard for the film industry. It even offers a full suite of color calibration options, allowing users to achieve the best possible color accuracy based on their needs.

The N1 Ultra projects a shining bright image. Together with the integrated gimbal design, its application scenario is no longer confined by time and space. It can be a productivity tool for filmmakers like Adam Leipzig and Edd Lukas who need a handy, high-resolution monitor with accurate colors at work. For Rachel Morrison, it can also be a portable, 150-inch screen to enjoy movie nights while camping.

A Portable Cinema Powered by Proprietary Technology
Powering the cinematic performance of the N1 Ultra is JMGO’s proprietary optical technology, the MALC (Microstructure Adaptive Laser Control) Triple Color Laser Optics. JMGO’s engineers spent two years developing and perfecting this cutting-edge technology, which integrates into a compact, long-throw projector with a gimbal design. The in-house developed laser engine allows the N1 Ultra to deliver exceptional color representation, contrast, brightness uniformity, and speckle reduction, making it a “performance beast” according to Projector Reviews.

The gimbal design is a unique feature of the N1 Ultra, which turns it into a truly portable cinema. With the Ultra-Thin 2-Axis Gimbal System, the N1 Ultra can pan 360° horizontally and tilt 135° vertically, remaining stable at any given angle. The Instant Gimbal-like Display Correction further simplifies the setup process, as users only need to point the lens to the projection surface and let the smart calibration software automatically calibrate the image within seconds.

A Pioneer of Smart Projectors
JMGO has been dedicated to the innovation of projection technology since 2012 and established itself as a pioneer of smart projectors, bringing exceptional audio-visual experiences to millions of users in China. In 2021, JMGO expanded its business to the global market, and the N1 Ultra is its latest offering. The launch of the triple color laser projector has been a huge success since day one, raising US$2.24 million from 1,706 backers on Kickstarter in just 45 days. The projector has also become the best seller on both Rakuten Japan and Yahoo Japan following its regional launch on April 6th at Tsutaya Books Daikan-yama.

JMGO will continue to strive for technological innovation to bring cinematic experiences to more global consumers. The highly anticipated projector will be available on Amazon US and Japan, as well as the JMGO official website in mid-May 2023, at the MSRP of $2,299.

Say Goodbye to Passwords with “Passkeys” for Google

Leave a comment

Hacks, lost accounts and compromised emails may be a thing of the past with companies moving towards a “passwordless future”. Google is the latest to bring this future to the present with its introduction of “Passkeys”, a new way to log in to your Google accounts moving forward.

google passkeys hero image

“Passkeys” will use biometrics like facial recognition and fingerprints to log in to your accounts. How? Well, it will use your smartphone. Yes, this also means that you’ll be able to use your screen lock PIN to log in to your Google account. However, it also makes your password obsolete. So, you won’t need to have that notebook or that codenamed document on your PC with all your passwords recorded. According to Google, these passkeys resist online attacks like phishing and are more secure than SMS one-time codes.

That said, Google isn’t forcing all users to immediately migrate over to using passkeys. Instead, users will be able to opt-in to using Passkeys in addition to their password and two-factor authentication (2FA) by going to g.co/passkeys. For companies using Google Workspaces, administrators will soon be able to activate passkeys for their end users.

  • image 1

Setting up passkeys for your Google account is pretty straightforward. You can either use the g.co/passkeys link or look under your account’s security settings. You will now see a new setting called passkeys. There you will be given the option to activate passkeys for your account. It will automatically turn your most recently used Android devices into passkeys. So, you may want to clean up the list of devices with access to your account. Once you activate the feature, you’ll be prompted on your phone or Windows device when you sign in to verify your identity.

Are you excited for a “passwordless future”? Sound off in the comments below.
