Uber accepted credit card payments in India



Uber has announced that it's once again accepting credit-based card payments in India, stating that their Android app now conforms towards two-factor authentication guidelines established by India's consumer banking regulatory body, the particular Reserve Bank associated with India.

Uber then announced a take care of Indian digital finances service Paytm, through which riders could actually link their debit and credit cards via Paytm. The integration — even though functional — was cumbersome as it meant that users needed to add funds to Paytm's digital finances before hailing any cab.

RBI guidelines state that all transactions performed digitally should include a secondary layer associated with authentication, which is usually a pre-defined password set because of the user or any one-time password supplied via SMS.

Become master the Edge wiht Galaxy S6 Edge

1. Pick a side, any side – which Edge is best?

The first thing to know about the Edge display is that you can only use one edge at a time. The features you can enable, like people Edge or Information Stream do not work on both sides simultaneously, or switch sides like your display does when you rotate your phone.
If you're a leftie, the left-hand side is probably best for you and vice versa for righties – but either side works the same. Just go to Settings > Edge Screen > Edge Screen Position.

2. Color-code your friends and keep them close

This is perhaps the coolest feature of the S6 Edge in my mind: first, assign a color to your favorite contacts (in People Edge) which transforms into a color-coded glow from your phone when they call (Edge Lighting).
People Edge also provides a quick access list of your favorite people right on the side of your screen – you'll see the little white bar on the Edge display once enabled – and show colored lines when you've missed a call or message from one of your besties. Swiping that line out will provide a summary of what you missed with the ability to respond immediately. Go to Settings > Edge Screen > People Edge

3. Reject calls with a finger and send auto-responses

This is a sub-section of the Edge Lighting feature (whereby you'll see a color-coded light emanating from the Edge display when your phone is placed face down and a selected contact tries to reach you).
If a contact tries to reach you and you're busy, you can simply place a finger over the heart-rate monitor to reject the call and send a pre-defined message automatically. A very handy way to know who is calling you and deal with them discreetly if you can't talk.

4. Manage your Edge notifications

Once you've set up your People Edge contacts, the next thing to do is decide if you want to see all missed communications from them or only some. In the Edge screen settings you can decide to enable Email, Missed Calls and Messages. At present there is no option for other apps, but we're sure that feature is coming.
Go to Settings > Edge Screen > Select Notifications and check the boxes next to those notification types that you'd like to see appear in your People Edge notifications.

5. Get useful information on the Edge

The Edge screen can also be sued as a news ticker, which Samsung calls information Stream. This is because there's a lot more to it than just a Flipboard feed. You can also get weather updates, sports scores, Twitter feeds, notifications and more via downloadable Edge content.
Just got to Settings > Edge Screen > Information Screen and flip the switch to enable Information Stream. You'll now be able to tap Manage Feeds to select and rearrange the feeds you want on the Edge display.

6. Throw away your bedside clock – use Night Clock instead

One great feature of the Galaxy S6 Edge's AMOLED display is that it is incredibly power-efficient. AMOLED displays only light up individual pixels, so a mostly black screen with a few illuminated pixels draws very little power.
Go to Settings > Edge Screen > Night Clock to flip the switch and enable it. Now, when your screen is dimmed, you will see a gently glowing time and date combo on the Edge display, meaning you don't need to turn your phone's screen on just to check the time.

7. Theme your Galaxy S6 Edge

The new Galaxies also come with Samsung's theme engine. With the tap of a button you can completely change the look and feel of your S6 Edge with a range of pre-loaded themes or others which you can download.
Go to Settings > Themes to choose from the three pre-loaded themes or tap the Store button in the top right to launch the Theme Store app for a variety of alternative themes, with new themes added every week.

8. Change your interface font

The Galaxy S6 Edge also lets you customize the font in which your interface appears. Go to Settings > Display > Font Size to see the pre-loaded fonts, or scroll down and tap Download Fonts to see a variety of alternatives, some free, some paid, that will add some flair to your device.

9. Conserve your battery

The Galaxy S6 Edge has both of Samsung's excellent battery-saving options: power-saving mode and ultra power-saving mode. The first simply limits your CPU, minimizes haptic feedback, screen brightness and shortens the amount of time it takes for your screen to dim when a notification comes in.
Ultra power-saving mode is more for emergencies. It turns your display gray scale, limits the number of apps you can use (which you can choose yourself) and shuts down all but the most important functions of your phone. It's not much fun, but it's great when your battery is critically low. Go to Settings > battery to enable either mode.

10. Manage your home screens

If you're the kind of Android user that simply accepts the home screen setup that Samsung gives you – complete with Galaxy Gifts widget and all – then this one is for you. Long press a blank spot on a home screen to see the home screen manager.
You can rearrange your home screens, add widgets, change the grid layout of app icons, remove Flipboard Briefing (by un-checking the box at the top) and change your wallpaper. You also have quick access to your Themes from here.

10 tips will make you a Facebook master


It's the world's biggest social network — with 1.44 billion users to its name — but even if you spend a lot of time inside Facebook's Android app, you may not have explored everything it has to offer. We're here to change that with a comprehensive list of tips, tricks and features to look out for.

    Top alternatives to Facebook app for Android
    Facebook Messenger update


Whether you're running Facebook on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge or a trusty Nexus 7, you'll find these tips helpful for sorting through your News Feed, improving the security of your account, finding the best content faster and sharing status updates more easily, plus more besides.

1. Use the widget

Facebook's widget is simple but useful nevertheless. It gives you a scrollable window for tapping through status updates by your friends without all the extra adverts and other baggage in the full app. You can update your own status from the widget too by tapping Share. It's a handy way of keeping important information right there on your home screen.

2. Manage your notifications

Drowning in a deluge of updates and alerts from your friends? Facebook actually makes it pretty easy to switch particular types of notifications on and off. Head to App Settings from the main menu, then scroll down to the notification settings — you can enable or disable alerts for wall posts, messages, comments, friend requests, photo tags, event invites and more.

3. Find interesting places nearby

The Facebook app for Android is capable of some tricks that the desktop site isn't — like making better use of your location. Choose Nearby Places to find places around you that have their own Facebook Page: it's a handy way of finding restaurants, bars, shops or other types of venues if you're in an unfamiliar part of the world. Tap on any entry to see the place page.

4. Filter the News Feed

You don't have to settle for the standard News Feed list of updates, because the Facebook app gives you access to your customized lists from the main menu too. To change the list someone appears in, head to their profile, then tap Friends and select Edit Friend List. If you want to add or remove lists (like "family" or "best friends") then you need to do this from a computer.

5. Share from other apps

Sharing across apps is one of Android's strengths, so make use of it: tap the Share button in a photo gallery, web browser or anywhere else, and Facebook appears as one of the options. This is a great way of sharing something to your timeline without having to hunt around on your phone or on the web for it, and you still get all of the usual status update options.

6. Stop videos from autoplaying

One of the most useful entries in the Facebook app settings is Video Auto-play: It lets you turn autoplay on or off, or have it only enabled when you're on a Wi-Fi connection. Thanks to this option you can save on data usage while out and about as well as preventing your News Feed from turning into a dizzying list of looping cat clips and funny animations.

7. Save videos and links for later

So many friends to browse through, so little time in the day... if you tap on the drop-down arrow next to a News Feed post that contains a video or link, you can save the content to come back to later. Bookmarked content is kept under the Saved heading on the main app menu (tap See All under Apps if it isn't visible) so you can return to it at your leisure.

8. Check your account security

From inside the Facebook app, tap Account Settings, Security and Active Sessions — here you can see all of the places and devices associated with your Facebook account. If you spot anything suspicious, click on the cross icon to log out from it. It's better to be safe than sorry: Even if you make a mistake you can still log in again from the device or browser in question.

9. Disable chat heads

Messenger is now a separate app on Android, and one of its most distinctive features is the way new conversations appear as 'chat heads' above other apps on your device. If you don't like this behavior, you can turn it off — tap the cog icon inside the Messenger app to access its settings, then tap Chat heads to enable or disable the feature and tweak the way it works.

10. Pick your favorite friends

Messenger may have been spun out into a new app, but your list of online friends remains in the core Facebook app, accessible via a tap on the portrait icon in the top right corner. Select Edit and you can bring the contacts you interact with most often to the top of the list, saving you the time and effort of hunting through the list to find your favorite friends.
It's the world's biggest social network — with 1.44 billion users to its name — but even if you spend a lot of time inside Faceboo...

Android Wear's secret weapon: Google Now gets more cards from 70 apps


If Android Wear has a killer app, Google Now is it. With the Apple Watch's Glances winning fans, Google has just announced 70 new app partners that will work with its updated Now service.
The news means that Google Now will become much more about bringing you information from third party apps, rather than just Google apps and the web.
There's breaking news cards from apps such as Feedly and ABC News, cards for keeping track of return times with the Zipcar app, and fitness goal cards from Jawbone, Adidas and RunKeeper. Spotify controls are already built into Android Wear but the new Spotify card shows playlist and radio suggestions.
In much the same way as Apple is encouraging developers to provide Glances - snippets of glanceable, useful info from within the app - Google is really expanding the usefulness of Now. We've heard plans from Google before about app indexing and reducing the need to keep opening and closing apps on the smartphone.
This is a first step towards bringing you the information or actions you would be looking for if you chose to find and open individual apps. Pebble is attempting something similar with its Timeline view. Soon, you won't go to the apps, the apps will come to you.
The full list of new Now partners is available on Google's Now integrations page. Some of the more exciting ones include eBay, Runtastic, OpenTable, TripAdvisor, Ford and Any.Do. There's still plenty of omissions but don't forget that Android Wear already displays any notifications that would be shown on your phone from apps, if you want it to.
The news follows last week's announcement of a big update to Android Wear including connecting smartwatches to Wi-Fi networks, gesture controls, always-on apps and emoji features. To get the new features, make sure the Google app on your Android phone updates and then look out for new cards popping up on the Now homescreen and your Wear watch.
