The new and improved Samsung Galaxy S6 can be now upgraded to a faster and more reliable firmware, XXU1AOCV Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.

We expect XXU1AOCV Android 5.0.2 firmware to resolve some of the battery drain issues users were complaining about before. The new Galaxy S6 packs a more beautiful design than any of it’s ancestors, adding to it, it also is one of the fastest Galaxy S flagships we have used. Samsung has promised a tone-downed TouchWiz which will result in better performance. Also, the Galaxy S6 is based on Android Lollipop 5.0.2 and has a 64-bit processor, these things alone make it lag free and much better optimized. New Galaxy S6 users in the UK can receive XXU1AOCV Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update straight from Samsung KIES or through the built-in OTA(Over-the-air) infrastructure. Users outside of the region can still utilize the manual update feature through Download Mode and ODIN.

Fix “Google Play Services has stopped” Error Message:

The error message “Google play services has stopped” has recently started popping up on a number of Android 5.0 or Android 5.1 Lollipop based phones and tablets — so we looked into it and here are a few solutions to fix this issue. What causes the error to show up? A number of reasons. May be your Internet connection just went down? Or you have a very old and outdated version of Google Play Services installed. Or this is because of a bug on Google’s end and a fix may be coming out soon.
A number of reasons are available for the “Google play services has stopped” error. We found several methods to fix this error and let’s see which one fits for your Android phone and tablet.

How to: Fix “Google play services has stopped” Error

You can try these one by one and see which one works for your device.
Solution 1 - Update Google Play Services to the latest version. You can download from here. You may be getting an error because you have a very outdated version or the one you have is having a conflict/bug with the current Android version in your phone.

Solution 2 - Clear the Google Play Services cache. The Google Play Services app in your phone acts like a framework for all the Google and Google Play apps installed in your phone. You can try cleaning up its cache and see if that would fix the issue. This worked with one of our team members! Read these quick and easy steps :

• Go to Settings > Apps.
• Scroll to All apps and then scroll down to “Google Play Services” app.
• Open the app details and tap on the “Force stop” button.
• Then, tap on the “Clear cache” button.

Solution 3 - Clear the Google Services Framework cache. The Google Services Framework system app on your Android device stores information and helps your phone sync with Google servers — and keeps your Google Play Services up and running. This could be one of the reasons why you are not able to connect to Google servers using the app and keep getting the error message. Read these quick and easy steps :

• Go to Settings > Apps.
• Scroll to All apps and then scroll down to “Google Services Framework” app.
• Open the app details and tap on the “Force stop” button.
• Then, tap on the “Clear cache” button.

Solution 4 - Check your Internet connection. May be your WiFi network is blocking any of the IP addresses that Google use. You can also try switching the WiFi on or off on your phone — same with mobile data.
Solution 5 - This goes without saying, but may be a simple reboot of your Android phone/tablet could fix the problem.
Solution 6 - We hate to say this, but in the end, you might just want to install a custom ROM that is stable with no bugs. You can check out our Custom ROMs section for any Android 5.0 or Android 5.1 Lollipop custom firmwares.

Facebook’s Hello Called ID App Wants to Replace Android Dialer:

Facebook is known for connecting people together on one platform and allowing them to communicate with each other. Similar to experiments in the past which were either a hit or a complete miss like Home launcher, Facebook is now introducing Hello. Hello is an app set to replace the native dialer app found in Android smartphones. Why would you even think of replacing a completely working part of your phone? Well, if you experienced a number being displayed instead of a saved contact, or once you dial in a number it won’t automatically fetch contact details and many other scenarios then you know you need a replacement.
The Hello app from Facebook will set out to correct all of that. How? By allowing you to use an under-rated feature, Wi-Fi calling, display contact information through Facebook’s server for unknown numbers and allow you to quickly sieve through many local business’ details that you might need. These features surely make our mouth water but has it been implemented in the best possible way? Let’s find out!

 Hello will follow a similar fashion as Facebook’s other apps. Blue and White will be the most prominent colors with different highlights. Material design guidelines will be followed throughout to make the app fit in better with Google’s new Android Lollipop release. Key tabs will include a recent tab, dialer, contacts and settings. Now, if you receive a call through Hello, the app will first try to match the number with a corresponding one in Facebook’s database. That is, it will search through many profiles which allow other users to find them through a phone number. After a successful match has been made, the person’s user details will be shown and allow you to connect with that person through Messenger or Facebook app itself. Details will include a quick glance at the location of the person, mutual friends and profile picture.
The usual functions have been elaborated in Hello but what Facebook is most proud of is it’s built-in Search System and Call Blocking mechanism. If you search for a local restaurant or any other local establishment, Hello will display you all the nearby matches with appropriate details. This makes the endless research process for a simple number disappear. Right alongside it, Call Blocking is what Facebook thinks will attract users as well. You will be able to appropriately select numbers that are allowed to contact you and people who you can’t be bothered with. However, once you block a number, the person will be sent straight to voicemail.
We think Facebook has tried a bit harder than what it did Facebook Home and has also catered a new market of users. Even though, many replacements for the stock Dialer hover around the Play Store, key features like WiFi calling and the built-in search engine are sure to create a good user-base.
