T-Mobile scrambles as 911 outage leaves two dead in Texas Posted: 16 Mar 2017 04:08 PM PDT We take it for granted that if you pick up a phone and dial 911, someone will pick up at the other end. That hasn't been happening recently in Texas, and T-Mobile is left standing naked in the spotlight after a series of errors left 911 calls on hold, and two people dead.
The Dallas 911 system has been flooded with "ghost calls" from T-Mobile subscribers recently. The 911 switchboard records a call from a number that instantly hangs up. It floods the incoming phone lines, but also means that the 911 operators have to dial the number back, as it could be someone in danger. The end result is that legitimate 911 users have been immediately disconnected when they dial 911, or at best placed on hold for 20 minutes. This has come to a head in two sad incidents. In the first, David Taffet noticed that his husband had stopped breathing and called 911. He was immediately disconnected and it took him 20 minutes to reach a 911 operator. By the time his husband made it to the hospital, he was dead. In the second case, a babysitter was on hold for 30 minutes while trying to get help for an infant. The baby was eventually taken to two area hospitals, but died. Talking to KCENTV, Dallas City Manager T.C. Broadnax said "This is an unacceptable situation and the citizens of Dallas deserve better. With Mr. Legere's commitment today, I'm hopeful T-Mobile can continue to work with the City of Dallas to finally resolve this situation so that we have a reliable 911 system that can properly serve the emergency needs of our citizens." T-Mobile CEO John Legere has pledged to send "top engineers" to the city to take care of the problem. This isn't the first time T-Mobile has faced 911 issues; in 2015, it was fined $17.5 million by the FCC for nationwide 911 outages. |

Samsung is reportedly making a second, more powerful Galaxy S8… but you can’t have it Posted: 16 Mar 2017 11:20 AM PDT Samsung's upcoming new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are expected to be the two most powerful Android phones to date when they're released next month. As great as they should be when it comes to performance, however, those of you who buy a new Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ following their launch will apparently have to do so with the knowledge that the versions of the S8 and S8+ released in the United States will not measure up to certain other models. A new set of leaked photos that show Samsung's stunning new Galaxy S8 (in Apple's Jet Black finish from the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus) have pushed the buzz surrounding Samsung's next-generation flagship phones to all new heights. The new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ have been refined and redesigned, improving upon their predecessors in every way. They look incredible, the new specs sound incredible, and there's little doubt that these will be the Android phones to beat for the foreseeable future. As it turns out, however, Samsung may be prepping special versions of its Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ handsets that will outperform the models released in the US. Samsung often uses different processors to power its North American and international flagship phone models, and that will be the case once again in 2017. The NA versions of the company's new phones will be powered by the Snapdragon 835 chipset, while the rest of the world will get a new Exynos chip. That's not the cause for concern, however. According to IHS China's research director Kevin Wang (via GizmoChina), the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ that launch in China will have 6GB of RAM compared to 4GB in every other market. Nothing is confirmed until it's announced by Samsung, of course, but supply chain rumors this late in the game from a reputable source like IHS seem unlikely to be mistaken. Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ on March 29th during a press conference in New York, and the phones are expected to be released about a month later. |

Inside source confirms Galaxy S8 release date for at least one major market Posted: 15 Mar 2017 06:24 AM PDT We're just a couple of weeks away from Samsung's Galaxy S8 launch event, and we've seen everything there is to see on the phone. We know there's two devices, no home buttons, and one annoyingly placed fingerprint sensor. But one thing we still don't know for sure is the release date. Rumors have been swirling that it could be April 21st or April 28th, and now a source has told BGR details that point towards the later date.
A senior supply chain source with knowledge of one Canadian cell carrier's plans has confirmed that pre-orders will be shipped out April 28th in Canada. That virtually confirms that the phone will launch in the US by the 28th at the latest, as it's highly unlikely to launch in Canada before the US. It also suggests more strongly that the Galaxy S8 will be launched on April 28th in the US as well, as historically, flagship smartphones have gone on sale on the same day in the US and Canada. Devices are cross-compatible between the two countries, and with the small size of Canada's population vs the US, it's easy to satisfy demand for both countries at the same time. If the April 28th launch date is confirmed, it will be another blow to Samsung fans who have been waiting longer than usual for the 2017 flagship. Samsung declined to show off the phone at Mobile World Congress, instead waiting a month longer than usual. The delays make sense when you consider what's on the line for Samsung. The Galaxy Note 7 was a flaming disaster in a very literal sense, so a lot's riding on a successful Galaxy S8 launch. Brand name is one of the few things separating Samsung from the rest of the Android pack, so a full year without a barnstorming device launch would be bad news long-term. Luckily for Samsung, all the leaks point to the Galaxy S8 changing things up a little. We're expecting to see a device with minimal bezel and no buttons on the front, which would let Samsung increase the size of the screen considerably without changing the size of the device. The Note 7's iris scanner will make a reappearance on the front of the S8, although the placement of the fingerprint sensor on the back, right next to the camera, is sure to raise a few eyebrows and sell a few microfiber cloths. |

New navigation app has an awesome feature I’ve always wanted in Google Maps Posted: 15 Mar 2017 07:02 PM PDT Google is constantly adding great new features to Google Maps, but there's still plenty that it can't do. For example, if you want to follow a friend or family member to a location you haven't previously visited, you can't take a joint road trip with Google Maps, which is why you might want to try out Follow instead.
Follow is a new, free navigation app for iOS and Android that allows drivers to take on the role of "leader" or "follower." The app constantly keeps track of the leader, which means the followers will never have to risk running a red light to catch up or placing a phone call to find out which turn the leader took. "Road trips are not the only use for the Follow app," says Follow CEO Anthony Lucido in a press release. "During our testing we have had real estate brokers using the app with their clients and pizza parlor owners using it to track their drivers. We've even had a bridal party use it to make sure everyone got to the reception location without a hitch." In order to ensure that everyone in the group is on the same page at all times, Follow pings the location of the leader and the followers three times a second. In other words, no matter how fast you're traveling, you'll never lose track of another driver. Follow also notes that drivers can turn off tracking at any time, so you won't have to worry about your privacy being invaded when the trip is over. Follow is free to download on the App Store and Google Play. The free version only allows leaders to connect with one follower, but you can upgrade to the PRO version for $0.99 to have unlimited followers. |
