Android’s State of Emergency | #PNWeekly 262

Finally, a problem that isn’t OnePlus’s fault. Worse yet, it’s an issue in Android that has many manufacturers on high alert and may leave some people in the ditch at the worst possible moment. We tackle HTC and Touchpal, Bixby and Siri plus Star Wars and augmented reality on this week’s show. Hey, we even go through our listener mailbag — at long last!

Our own Jaime Rivera joins us for a two-hour show, so make sure you’re charged and ready for the Pocketnow Weekly!

Watch the video recorded from 2:05pm Eastern on July 20th, or check out the high-quality audio version right here. You can shoot your listener emails to [email protected] for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air the following week!
