We've got a new entry on the "Known issues" list for Android Auto, and it's an interesting one. We've been discussing the Moto G 2015 and Android Auto in our AA forums. Some folks (mainly, me) have been able to get it to work. But others haven't. And today, Google's dropped the following:

Imagine a company that installs an appliance to monitor your network for malicious activity, then broadcasts that security data to a cloud service and has experts watching and responding to any real threats. That’s what Traversal Networks, a member of the Summer Y Combinator 2015 class, is trying to do. In fact, the company was making its pitch at YC Demo Day shortly after I spoke… Read More

I didn’t expect expect to like the replacement but I came to adore its idiosyncrasies - does that make me a bad person?According to Samsung’s UK president, Andy Griffiths, 80% of people would never consider switching between Android and Apple. Or vice versa. Smartphone wars are therefore waged over the small number of undecided and unfussed. All those advertisements, all that spend – it’s just for the benefit of what Griffiths calls “floating votersâ€.Last week I was pushed into this pool when, halfway through the holiday, my iPhone – like so many tourists – reacted badly to rain. It then failed to revive after, as advised, I had sealed it in a bag of rice and left it on the radiator. Stricken with a panic that my ancestors presumably felt when faced with a really major pack of mammoths, I bought a supermarket Samsung – specifically, a E1200 basic simple model in white – and put the sim in that instead. Now my phone weighs less than a Twix. It fits snugly even in my midget grip. I’ve only charged it once in a fortnight. Continue reading...

Uh, SatNad – are you sure this is what you want? The addition of Android compatibility for Windows phones was called a "suicide note" back in April, and now somebody's composing the first draft. Intrepid tinkerers have opened up previews of Windows 10 for phones to allow a wide range of Android apps run without modification. Reports suggest that at this stage, far more Android apps crash than run well.…

Hot potato, or hot job? Typically, when a cybersecurity problem arises, it’s the IT department that gets it in the neck. Ostensibly, that makes sense. After all, if someone is in your network mining your database for corporate secrets, it’s hardly the office manager or the accounts receivable department’s lookout, right?…

Android M is no more. Instead, we now have a fluffy, sweet, almost ethereal Marshmallow. That's the name Google has given to version 6.0 of the operating system, continuing its long-running, sugary naming tradition—although Android has been tasting a little sour lately, like licorice and raisins.That slight bitterness aside, the official christening also marks the release of the Android 6.0 SDK, which can be downloaded via Android Studio 's SDK Manager. Developers can also download updated ...Read more...
Whether you like them straight out of the bag, roasted to a golden brown exterior with a molten center, or in fluff form, who doesn't like marshmallows? We definitely like them! Since the launch of the M Developer Preview at Google I/O in May, we've enjoyed all of your participation and feedback. Today with the final Developer Preview update, we're introducing the official Android 6.0 SDK and opening Google Play for publishing your apps that target the new API level 23 in Android Marshmallow.Think twice before flashing this third Android 6.0 developer preview - you'll need to reflash to a factory image once the final version is released.

Alongside revealing Android M's actual name, and releasing the new Android 6.0 SDK, Google has announced that developers can now submit apps that use Marshmallow's API 23. This means developers can now build their apps against the official SDK, and submit them for testing on Developer Preview devices.

Statues aren't the only thing unveiled at Google HQ today! The Final M preview and the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow SDK have been posted, and both are ready for you to download. The final M preview will come to you OTA (Over The Air) if you've installed the previous version of the Android M preview, or if you're like us and can't be bothered to wait for it, you can grab the factory image from the Android developer site. Images have been posted for the Nexus 6, the Nexus 9, the Nexus 5 and the Nexus Player. The Android 6.0 SDK can be installed directly from your existing Android SDK manager, or you can grab a new copy and install fresh. While "final" sounds pretty, well, final, remember that this is still beta software. There might very well be bugs. For help on installing an Android factory image to your Nexus, have a look here.

Update: Google has taken off the cover showing that the Android mascot holding a marshmallow, confirming that "Marshmallow" is the official name for what we have been previously calling "Android M". Original story: Google is once again teasing the Android M reveal, this time showing what appears to be a fully built statue under a white cover. Recently, Google posted a teaser video in which it listed a number of treats that began with the letter M, and at the end showed off a statue being painted white.

There's absolutely no shortage of podcast players available for Android Auto. In our 'tour of Android Auto apps, we've already taken a look at several from the usual suspects. But Player FM admittedly was a new one for me, despite it being in the same 500,000 to 1 million downloads category as our current favorite podcatcher. Turns out it's a highly capable app with a bevy of features that even the most hard-core podcast listener would demand. Player FM also supports Android Auto. But, like every other Android Auto-capable app, not all of its features made the trip into our cars. Let's see what's left.
