Android 7.0

Android’s new operating system version 7 aka Nougat is being rolled out to supporting Android devices. It looks a bit different and like all major Android releases they moved things around in places like settings and the top menu bar. It’s not bad so far on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. There are a few bugs with some apps that haven’t been updated by their developers properly and I have run into a battery issue or two, but that’s about it. See below for for a link to the official Android page!

I’ve been seeing many devices lately that the user has not been performing regular updates to (Apple, Android, Windows, Mac, etc.). Yes they can be inconvenient and may change the way things look or work, but they are very important to perform. Here is a reason why…

A malware program has been found to hijack Google accounts on Android devices. Most people are secure, but make sure you have taken all updates to Android because they contain very important security updates. According to the article below Android 4&5 users are at a higher risk of this malware. If you need assistance updating your device or you have any concerns about your Google account please reach out to KES Tech Services!

 

More than 1 million Google accounts have been breached by Android malware dubbed “Gooligan,” Check Point reported Wednesday. The malware roots infected devices and steals authentication tokens that can be used to access data from various Google apps including Gmail, Google Docs, G Suite and Google Drive. It potentially affects devices running Android 4 and 5.

For the Samsung fans out there here is the link to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 page.
This phone looks awesome. Love the new features especially the ability to put in an SD expansion card. That was the one thing I missed most about my old HTC Evo from years ago.

Can’t wait to play with one!
