LG has some built in tools to help you string out your battery life a little further
All the major high end Android smartphones from this year have some way to try and extend your battery life when things get low, and the LG G3 is no exception. While it doesn’t go as far as something like the ultra power saving mode on the Samsung Galaxy S5, battery saver on the G3 can certainly help you to get more life when you’re running close to empty.
Let’s take a look at what it does and how you use it.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 might have an ultraviolet sensor, and it might actually be useful
7/17/2014 7:57:07 AM
It has already been confirmed by Samsung that the Galaxy Note 4 will have an ultraviolet (UV) sensor, but there wasn’t much information available. Now, according to a report over on SamMobile, we have some idea as to what consumers can expect to see from the built-in functionality. The new component will integrate itself within Samsung’s S Health app, providing yet more personal data for the owner to take advantage of.
Is it gimmicky? Sure. It’s Samsung, the home of the smartphone heart-rate monitor, but it is cool at the same time.

Official Android Wear watch face API coming later this year
7/17/2014 6:32:16 AM
Google’s wearable OS also will shift over to the L release once ready
It was sort of a surprise — and a bit of a disappointment, to be perfectly honest — when Android Wear launched without a properly supported way to add custom watch faces to the likes of the LG G Watch, Samsung Gear Live and, eventually, the Moto 360. We’ve talked a little bit about how custom watch faces were coming, however, and indeed they have — as standalone apps. But that obviously was a workaround, as there’s no real API available for custom watch faces.
Overnight, Wayne Piekarski, a senior developer advocate at Google, explained what’s up with custom watch faces on Android Wear. The short version is that, no, there’s not an official API yet, and watch faces are a little complicated because of the way they interact with the card stream and are contained inside another process. An API is coming, however, and we should see it along with the L release later this year.
And, yes, that (unsurprisingly) means Android Wear will be running L.
Writes Piekarski:
Custom watch faces are activities running inside another process. However, they have some special considerations due to interactions with the stream and always-on ambient mode–including using a shorter peek card, moving the status indicators for battery and mute, and rendering the faces differently in ambient mode. Right now, without an official API, making a really great watch face currently takes a fair bit of tweaking.
