Waze Beta Version Comes With Built-in Music Player With Support For Eight Music Streaming Services

At the beginning of this month, Google announced the launch of the new version of Google Maps which, among all its new features, came out with a music player integrated into the application itself. Now, the latest Waze beta version launched for both iOS and Android operating systems and includes a built-in music player with support for a total of eight different services.

As confirmed by the Waze team, the built-in player available in the new Waze beta application will work with Spotify, Deezer, iHeart Radio, NPR One, Pandora, Scribd, Stitcher, and TuneIn. However, not all the before-mentioned platforms are compatible with both iOS and Android operating systems.

To enjoy the new feature all you have to do is to connect one of the before-mentioned services to the Waze new built-in music player.

Waze app implemented a music player that supports eight music streaming services

Thanks to the integration of the new built-in music player in the Waze app, the users of the application will now be able to enjoy their favorite songs, podcasts or audiobooks without leaving aside the potential of the application’s navigation system, which will continue to show addresses and alerts.

As impressive as this new feature is, unfortunately, Apple Music or Google Play Music users will not be able to take advantage of the new Waze feature, at least for the time being.

At this point, keep in mind the new feature is only available within the Waze beta version, recently rolled out for both iOS and Android operating systems. That means that the new functionality is still under testing, but, if everything goes alright, it won’t take long until we’ll see the Waze built-in music player available in the full version. Also, Waze confirmed that the new feature would be released in the upcoming weeks.

Google Pixel 3 XL Devices Present The Most Bizarre Bug Ever Seen, A Second, Fake Notch

A bizarre bug exists on some Google Pixel 3 XL devices. The recently released Google smartphone series, which has a notch on the top, start to display another fake notch on the part of the screen. It is sometimes shown on the right, sometimes on the left, for no apparent reason. Google is now working on a patch to fix this weird Google Pixel 3 XL glitch.

Users who experienced this troubling bug explain on different forums that a restart of the Google Pixel 3 XL device is sufficient to remove the fake notch and thus restore the handset to its normal condition. But this glitch may reoccur over time, requiring a new restart of the device.

It’s evident to everyone that the second notch is a software problem, but that’s not good news for those who can not use their Pixel 3 gadgets in optimal conditions. The unpleasant situation has created a significant buzz on social networks, over the last few days, and is hard to appreciate when it will be fixed by an update from Google, even though, fortunately, the company is aware of this and knows where the problem comes from.

Google will soon launch a patch to fix the fake notch glitch affecting Google Pixel 3 XL devices

The giant Internet company informed the renowned Android Police news portal that a patch would soon be available, but it did not give a specific date when the fix would be available. However, Google would most likely release the patch in just a few days when the Android security update for November will become available for download.

Google always takes the opportunity of launching security updates to fix some bugs here and there for various devices.

As a reminder, both Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL are already available across the United States but will become available in other countries on November 2nd, 2018.

Asus ZenFone 6 Leaks Revealed The Hideous Notch Ever Seen

Users’ opinions on notches are mixed. Some think they all look unsightly, while others believe that notches are looking alright. Well, at least all those notches are centered on the top part of the smartphones’ front side. However, recent Asus ZenFone 6 leaks revealed the hideous notch ever seen on a smartphone.

The Asus ZenFone 6 leaks, published online by Slashleaks on its official web page, showed that the upcoming Asus flagship’s notch is offset to the right looking terrible and making many Asus fans wondering why the company opted for such an unsightly notch position.

However, some people praised the Asus’ decision since it’s a smaller notch in comparison with others we can find on modern-day devices. While we have to take these leaks with a salt of grain, we must also take into account that the images are just of a prototype of the upcoming Asus ZenPhone 6. Thus, the final ZenFone 6 design might be different.

Asus ZenFone 6 Leaks Revealed The Hideous Notch Ever Seen

Possibly, Asus wanted to reduce the size of the notch, but why would the engineers move the notch to the right? The idea was to increase the screen-to-body ratio but to move the notch to the right makes it impossible to ignore when playing games or watching videos which might be annoying.

Even though the screen would look larger, there is a thicker bottom lip below the display without boasting front speakers like the Google Pixel 3 XL. Thus, the smaller notch moved to the right the Asus ZenFone 6 boasts, is practically useless.

As for the Asus ZenFone 6 specs, according to the latest rumors, the device would boast a triple-camera setup on its back and a fingerprint sensor right in the center of the back case. Therefore, despite what some fans expected, Asus ZenFone 6 won’t come out with an in-display fingerprint reader.
