AOSP changelogs posted for August security patches, developer preview 5, Wear preview 2, and a mystery Lollipop update for the Nexus 10

AOSP changelogs posted for August security patches, developer preview 5, Wear preview 2, and a mystery Lollipop update for the Nexus 10

The odds are pretty good that if you're using a still-supported Nexus device, it's probably running August's security update by now. The factory images became available on Monday of last week and OTAs have been intermittently rolling out since then. The push to AOSP took a little longer and finally included a couple of other tags that were behind schedule. All of the changes have been compiled into their respective lists and the changelogs are ready for perusal.
Google's Android Security Bulletin details the potential vulnerabilities addressed by the August updates, but it's not too rare to see other small bug fixes and adjustments hidden among the changes.
There are a couple of unexpected additions to the list of changelogs this month. The most curious one is actually for Lollipop, and even stranger is that it's intended for the Nexus 10. Near the end of July, build number LMY49M appeared with the tag android-5.1.1_r38. The build number doesn't currently appear on the Nexus Factory Images page or any related distributions (i.e. OTAs and proprietary binaries), but it is in the official list of build numbers for all Nexus devices, where the Nexus 10 is specifically identified as the recipient for that version. Given that the 'J' build released in April was the last to officially support the Nexus 10, it's interesting to see a later build show up now, and it may be of some value to ROM builders if newer binaries are also available. Still, it's only a Lollipop update, so it's not likely to make much of a difference since there are already third-party Marshmallow builds available for the Nexus 10.
For those building software to integrate with Android for Work, there's a "test harness" project that may be useful or interesting. The tag is named afw-test-harness-1.5 and it's based on android-6.0.0_r6

[Deal Alert] Get an international 16GB Nexus 5X for $199

[Deal Alert] Get an international 16GB Nexus 5X for $199


As we quickly approach the dawn of the 2016 Nexus era, we should not so easily forget the Nexuses of yesteryear. Just yesterday, we brought you a deal for a 32GB Nexus 5X via Groupon. Prices for the old budget-friendly Nexus are dropping quickly. Google Fi has had some good (and some outright fantastic) Nexus offers, but those have been US-only. Now, we have a similar price for international Nexus users. From eBay, you can score a 16GB Nexus 5X for $199.99 in all three colors. This is $150 less than what Google charges. 16GB of internal storage may not be enough for everyone (myself included), but for others, 16GB works just fine

To clarify, this is the international Nexus 5X (H791), which lacks LTE Bands 12, 13, and 25. So, while it will still work on US GSM carriers, T-Mobile reliability may be spotty. Oh, and it won't work on CDMA carriers. It should also be noted that this is a brand new product, complete with all packaging and accessories.

The best Android phones of 2016




The best Android phones of 2016


Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

A couple months into their life, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge remain the best overall Android smartphone you can buy. Launched at Mobile world Congress, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are a one-two punch combination. The "standard" GS7 keeps the 5.1-inch screen size, but gets a tad thicker for more battery and a curved glass back that's easier to hold. The Galaxy S7 edge goes up to 5.5-inches, bumps the battery a bit more and of course has the beautiful dual-curved edge screen.

Nexus 6P

We've usually had to recommend a Nexus phone with a rather large caveat — and that's usually had to do with the camera. Not so with the Nexus 6P, manufactured by Huawei.
It's got a camera that doesn't make us want to carry around a second shooter, just in case. It's got the design and build quality that stands up against any other phone. And perhaps most important is that it's going to always be updated to the latest version of Android, and that goes for the monthly security updates, too.

HTC 10

Welcome back, HTC. It's been a good long while since the Taiwanese manufacturer had a flagship smartphone that truly excited us. The HTC 10 certainly outdoes its predecessor — the M9 — and may well be the company's best phone since 2013's M7. We're looking at a solid (and damned near stunning) build quality, with lovely chamfered edges that contrast nicely with the milled aluminum. HTC has pared back its Sense user interface (but also soiled things a bit with its unnecessary "Boost+" app), giving us a nice mix of custom and stock.
Sound quality also is impressive in this phone, with 24-bit audio for those of you pumping things directly into your ear holes. And the on-phone speaker has changed things from a pair of front-facing stereo speakers to separate speakers for high and low sounds — with the result being an above-average smartphone speaker.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Samsung did the big screen thing first with the Note line, and now in its fifth iteration the Note 5 is just average sized at 5.7 inches. In fact, Samsung has shrunk down the bezels around the Note 5 so much that it's actually smaller than the Note 4 even with the same screen size. It's got a beefy processor, an ample 4GB of RAM and a high-resolution QHD display. It's running Android 5.1 Lollipop, with an update to Android Marshmallow on the way eventually, and comes with a 3,000 mAh battery.
The addition of optical image stabilization (OIS) on the 16-megapixel camera makes it one of the better low-light shooters available. And Samsung Pay is an excellent contactless payment option. Plus, the Note 5 has Samsung's excellent pen input features, which nobody else has even bothered to attempt to replicate. It's that good.
