How To Easily Fix The “Unfortunately, Clash of Clans has stopped” Issue

Even though Clash of Clans is a premium mobile game, there are still some issues with it. New reports from the Clash of Clans community are showing that the game keeps randomly crashing and prompting the following error: “Unfortunately, Clash of Clans has stopped”. This is causing fans to get angry because the game can crash in the middle of combat, but luckily, we have just the right solution for it!

Updating the Game

The annoying error is not caused by any bugs or malfunctions and it can happen to all Android games. The most common reason why this error pops up is because the game is not updated. Clash of Clans uses the internet to check the user’s Google account so that it can load up his or her village. If the game is not updated, Clash of Clans will not be able to load up the village and an error pops up.

  • Access the Google Play Store;
  • Open the “My Apps” panel;
  • Search for Clash of Clans;
  • Tap on the “Update” button;
  • The game will now update itself.

Clearing Data and Cache Files

If updating Clash of Clans didn’t get rid of the “Unfortunately, Clash of Clans has stopped” error, then we advise fans to clear their game data and cache files. While this might seem like a complicated task, Clash of Clans fans don’t need to do anything else than to follow the short step-by-step guide down below.

  • Head over to the “Settings” panel;
  • Search for the “Application” tab in the list options and tap on it;
  • Now search for “Clash of Clans” and access it;
  • The “Clash of Clans” panel will feature the options to “Clear Data” and “Clear Cache”;
  • All that’s left is to click the two buttons and then reboot the smartphone.

Google Play Services 3.05 Download Available With Better Speed And Performance

Google is currently adding the finishing touches to Android O, but this doesn’t mean that the Android parent has forgot about its latest Android 8.1 Nougat operating system. The reason we are saying this is because Google has recently rolled out a new update for Google Play Services which improves the way third-party apps work on Android 8.1 Nougat.

The Importance of Google Play Services

The interesting thing about Google Play Services is that most Android fans have no idea what it does. In fact, there are hundreds of reports where people unknowingly deleted Google Play Services from their smartphones in order to free up storage space and then they are left wondering why third-party apps don’t function anymore.

Google Play Services takes care of many tasks, but the most important one out of them is the fact that it allows third-party apps to automatically update. Therefore, Google Play Services is an app that works in the “shadows” without anyone knowing about it. In addition, Google Play Services also takes care of vital Android functions such as account synchronization and remembering passwords.

New APK 3.05 Update

Android fans should be happy to know that Google Play Services has just received a new update. The update changes Google Play Services’ version number to “3.05” and it improves its overall performance. Even though the new update might not include any groundbreaking features or visual changes, it does come with a bunch of software tweaks that help Google Play Services run at faster speeds than usual.

Android Package Kit

The new update has yet to be rolled out OTA (over the air) and it’s available in the form of APK. This means that Android fans who wish to download it need to do it manually and to enable the “Unknown Sources” feature before.

Apple Watch Series 4 – Leaks, Features And Prices

It’s been three years since the Apple Watch arrived on the market and during this period it became the most popular smartwatch. However, this was to be expected since Apple has a reputation for creating high-end devices that instantly become bestsellers, especially since they sport the famous Apple brand. Nonetheless, the Apple Watch has kept the same design during these past three years and fans are expecting to see a change in the upcoming Apple Watch Series 4.

Apple Unveils WatchOS 5

One of the highlights during Apple’s recent WWDC developer conference was WatchOS 5. The new smartwatch operating system is packed with a plethora of new features such as a walkie-talkie mode, support for podcasts and fitness improvements.

Apple Watch Series 4 Release Date

On the downside of things, Apple didn’t mention anything about Apple Watch Series 4’s launch date, but this doesn’t mean we don’t have an idea of when that will happen. Apple usually launches its new iPhone lineup somewhere during the week after Labor Day and a new Apple Watch comes out at the same time. Therefore, we think it’s safe to assume that the highly anticipated Apple Watch Series 4 will launch in September.

Expensive Price Tag

Since this is Apple we are talking about, no one should be surprised to find out that Apple Watch Series 4 will feature an expensive price tag. Apple equips all its devices with high-end hardware specs and it charges a premium for it. The current Apple Watch Series 3 price starts at $329 and we believe that Apple Watch Series 4 will cost a little bit more than that.

Improved Battery Life

Apple is expected to equip the new smartwatch with a special display technology known as MicroLED displays. The reason why Apple is doing this is to increase how long the battery can last. In addition, WatchOS 5 will feature software optimizations which help with the battery last longer.

Alipay Payment Service Of The Alibaba Group To Adopt Blockchain Technology

Ant Financial’s online payment processor Alipay announced the future launch of a remittance service based on its own blockchain. The cross-border payments platform is primarily intended to process transactions from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to the Philippines.

According to Ant Financial’s official website, this Alibaba subsidiary company bets on Distributed Accounting Technology (DAT) to allow Alipay users to send and receive transactions in real time.

At the moment there are no details on the characteristics of the blockchain that will be developed to support the transactions, as no technical details were disclosed in the press release published today by the company. However, it was announced that the initiative has Standard Chartered Bank as its banking business partner and the GCash digital wallet as its Philippine partner.

Alipay, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, to launch a cross-border payments platform based in blockchain technology

It is important to note that Alipay is led by Jack Ma, the founder and CEO of the Alibaba Group, who stated during the announcement that the position of the three mentioned companies with respect to DLT is favorable, even considering that “it could change the world more than people think”, according to Bloomberg.

However, the story is different when mentioning cryptocurrencies, as for Jack Ma “Bitcoin (BTC) may be a bubble.”

The blockchain is common among the significant figures of the global financial ecosystem, and both Ma and some influential Wall Street figures have been researching and testing distributed accounting technologies for a couple of years now. This position has been criticised by members of the Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem, as sometimes these appear to be maneuvers to conduct market manipulation.

In the particular case of Alibaba Group, this was one of the first Asian companies to adopt blockchain technology to ensure the origin of the food offered on the Alibaba website. Also, other subsidiaries linked to Alibaba and Ant Financial, such as TMall, an electronic payment platform such as Alipay, have adopted blockchain to optimize their operations.

EOS (EOS) Ranked The #1 Blockchain In China – Bitcoin (BTC) Is Not Even In Top 10

China Electronic Information Industry Development (CCID) updated its rankings regarding cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies. Previously, the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain was considered the best, but this week Chinese think that EOS (EOS) is the #1 blockchain in China. What’s interesting is that Bitcoin (BTC) is not even in top 10.

However, the decision to list EOS blockchain as the best in the cryptocurrencies market is somewhat bizarre, given the recent events surrounding EOS (EOS).

First, some critical bugs forced EOS team to pause the network and 27 accounts were frozen without notice during the process. Then, Professor Emin Gun Sirer from the Cornell University, as well as the famous smart contracts engineer Nick Szabo, vehemently criticized the EOS blockchain.

But these events and negative critics couldn’t stop the Chinese government’s body to list EOS (EOS) as the best blockchain in the world.

EOS (EOS) ranked the #1 blockchain in China, while Bitcoin (BTC) didn’t make it in the top 10

We know that there is no such thing as perfect rankings when it comes to blockchains. It’s not like listing cryptocurrencies by market cap or trading volumes which are calculable things, that’s known and accepted. The primary reason why blockchains can’t be adequately ranked is that they can be cataloged in at least a dozens of categories, including smart contracts, crypto payments, apps blockchains, bank protocols, PoS, utility blockchains, and so on.

But the CCID ranking is very off-track because it lacks some elementary knowledge about blockchains. Under the hood, the index could be based on general criteria such as proof-of-stake (PoS), consensus algorithm, or the ability to process transactions, among others, but what they show is that they categorize blockchains by technology, applicability, and innovation.

Thus, this ranking is a mistake only because EOS (EOS) network relies on Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, so, if Ethereum shuts off, EOS blockchain dies, too. Also, the high score EOS blockchain received under “innovation” criterium is also wrong because that is thanks to Ethereum blockchain, once again.

Don’t get me wrong here, EOS is a great project and its PoS is one of the best in the cryptocurrencies market, and, in other news, EOS (EOS) has recorded the most significant increase today between the top 10 cryptos, surging by about 13%, at the moment of this writing, trading at $8.46.
