Spotify releases update to curb road accidents while using the app

Using a smartphone while driving is a big no no and Spotify recognizes this. Skipping to the next track on your Spotify playlist can be a hassle and even dangerous while you’re driving and Spotify clearly agrees. Their latest update changed the music playback’s layout, making it a little safer to use on the road.

The giant music streaming app recently released an update that allows users to use the app without having to take their eyes off the road. The much playback screen now has giant icons for the play/pause and next/previous buttons so you don’t have to tear your eyes off the road to tap on the buttons.

Spotify playback when it is connected to your vehicle via Bluetooth

While the update has just began to roll out worldwide, the mode is only available when the app is connected to your car’s infotainment system via Bluetooth and it doesn’t support connection to your vehicle via a cable which is kinda annoying. Let’s hope Spotify releases an update to toggle the feature manually. For more quality of life tech updates, make sure to keep an eye out on TechNave.com!


Spotify rolls out new design for 'Your Library'

Spotify has brought a design change to its Android and iOS app today. The new version of 'Your Library' allows users to explore their collections of music more easily and find saved songs/podcasts faster. Besides that, there are also different settings added for users to have more control over the content.

Other than browsing both music and podcasts in one place, there are the new dynamic filters that let you choose between album, artist, playlist, or podcast to see the audio you’ve saved that matches. Spotify has also added a sorting option for you to sort the library by recently played, recently added, alphabetical, or even creator's name. Users can view the library in the new Grid view as well for larger album cover arts.

The update will be rolling out to users in different regions in the coming weeks. Let us know what you think about this latest update from Spotify on our Facebook page. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech news.


Spotify's hidden HiFi menu discovered by user, hints at imminent launch

After Apple, it looks like Spotify will soon release its lossless streaming feature as well. A Reddit user named themonarc has discovered that a hidden HiFi menu can be accessed in the Spotify app by "quickly tapping the glitched icon" that briefly appeared on the Now Playing screen, which hints at the imminent launch of the feature.

At the menu in a separate screen, it explains that the HiFi option supports 16-bit 44.1kHz streaming over wired earphones. However, the selected track didn't play in Hi-Fi quality, indicating that the server-side functionality isn't finalized yet.

In February, the music streaming platform has announced that it will be offering a new "HiFi" premium tier sometime in 2021. Although it sounds like it will be requiring existing users to pay a fee to upgrade, there might be a change of plan as Apple and Amazon are offering their own "Hi-Fi" feature to existing subscribers at no extra cost.

Let us know if you're excited about Spotify's lossless streaming feature on our Facebook page. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more exciting tech news.


Spotify's subscribers have increased by 31% and more 'chill' songs are added to playlists during pandemic

Despite the pandemic going on, some companies are still managed to do well maintaining its revenue and one of them is Spotify. The company that provides music streaming service has hit 130 million subscribers in the first quarter of 2020, which is up by 31 percent from last year's report. Other than that, the company has also announced that their users' listening behavior is different now as lockdowns are going on in many countries.

Spotify currently has 286 million monthly active users worldwide (an increase of 31 percent) and 130 million subscribers. Although the company fell short of its ad-supported revenue forecast, it is still able to survive this economic downturn as users trapped home are actively using streaming services.

Furthermore, the company also reports that the users are now adding more 'chill' songs into their playlists that are acoustics, less danceable, and have lower energy. This could be one of the ways to keep us sane at the moment while being home for so many days. Other than that, users are more likely to use Spotify on video game consoles as well, while the usage on smartphones and in cars has dropped in the last few weeks of March.

Spotify testing local audio file playback feature on Android

If you talk about music apps, Spotify is easily one of the most well-known around. Leaving aside the company's strange decision to test a Stories-like feature, most of what it has in development can be considered useful. In fact, it's said that the app could soon be able to play files locally.

According to Jane Manchung Wong, the feature was found on the Android version of the app recently. Based on the screenshot uploaded by the tipster, Spotify will soon allow you to import music files from the device's storage into your Spotify library. You would then be able to play your files directly through Spotify, without having to sync the app to your desktop.

Spotify is finally working on on-device local files support for Android!No need to sync it from your desktop anymore :D pic.twitter.com/fVKiFAyxbs

From the description in the screenshot, we're assuming that Spotify will be able to scan your device's storage for all audio files. This feature was already made available on the desktop version for quite some time, but now it's finally making its way to mobile devices. The iOS version of the app will likely get this feature as well.

There's no news on when the feature will officially launch, but I hope it would be soon because I have a lot of files for music you can't find on the platform. So, what do you think about this feature? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news like this.

Apple Patent: Safety Tech so that Device Always Lands on Back

Apple has always been about patents but this is probably one of the more useful sounding ones so far. Instead of a patent for a rounded edges, this patent is about a "Protective Mechanism for an Electronic Device" that allows an electronic device to shift the weight of a falling device in such a way that it would always fall on it's back. This means if your smartphone had this feature and it fell, you wouldn't have to deal with a cracked screen (Corning Gorilla Glass still cracks due to falls).The way it works is that when the device is falling the phone detects free fall using position sensors, imaging sensors and accelerometers. Then it sends a signal to the protective mechanism, allowing it to land on the strongest part of the chassis (usually the back part), minimizing the possibility of cracks or damage to the device and the screen of the device.

The patent doesn't mention that it has to be a smartphone so it could apply to practically all Apple devices such as the iPod touch, iPad and other devices we tend to let slip from our fingers. It also doesn't seem to account for if the device bounces from impact but it does sound like a more useful feature to have over an ultra-pixel camera or an eight core processor. Again, it is just a patent, so no news if this is going to come out in the Apple iPhone 5s. We'll keep you posted of any new news.[sourced from techradar.com]


Square Enix bringing NieR Re[in]carnation to mobile, showcases gameplay footage

When the 10th anniversary of the NieR series was teased last month, it was announced that there will be a NieR Re[in]carnation mobile game app. Many fans of the series were kinda disappointed, but recently the first game trial video was revealed to showcase how it would look like on a mobile device.

At first glance, it's hard to believe that this is a mobile game because of the environment and looks more like a console game. There was no sign of any battle scenes, but the video demo showcased beautiful landscapes, atmosphere and the soundtrack displayed is pretty great. There is also a white-haired girl who we assume is the protagonist of the game, which looks similar to "2B" from NieR: Automata.

Square Enix is planning to launch a NieR online fan group on 22 April 2020 at 19:00 Hong Kong time which they plan to update the fans more about the mobile game. No news about if it will be a global launch or regional yet, so we will have to wait and see.

Square Enix is planning a beta test, could be Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster

These days, many remastered games end up being as popular as new ones. This type of success is usually due to the game's story, so you'll notice that they tend to be RPGs. And if there's a game that needs a remaster, it would have to be Final Fantasy Tactics (FFT).

According to u/DrNanard on Reddit, Square Enix could be beta testing a tactical RPG soon and it could be an FFT Remaster. The user had revealed a survey from Eidos-Montreal that asked various questions about tactical RGPs by the publisher, which could prove that the company has something in the pipeline. Of course, it could also be to gauge the interest of modern gamers in the tactical RPG genre.

On top of that, the survey allegedly came with an invitation to the play test. Even if this isn't an FFT Remaster, it could still be for an upcoming game. For your information, Square Enix is working on Triangle Strategy, which happens to be a tactical RPG for the Nintendo Switch. The game is set to launch in March 2022, so a beta test now isn't anything unusual.

Personally, a full remake of Final Fantasy Tactics would be welcomed. But what about you, is there an old game you want to see remade or remastered? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for potential updates on this FFT remaster.


Square Enix to release Tomb Raider Reloaded for mobile devices in 2021

The mobile game industry is huge these days. While some major publishers don't have a lot of mobile games, Square Enix has ported or made a lot of new games for mobile gamers. Now, the company has released a teaser for Tomb Raider Reloaded.

Tomb Raider Reloaded is a mobile game for Android and iOS users that's developed by Emerald City Games. From what we can see in the trailer, you'll probably be playing as Lara Croft in this single-player action game. What's interesting is that rather than a mobile version of the original or an adaptation of the PC reboot, this seems more like a light-hearted take on the series. The game is expected to launch in 2021.

Unfortunately, the teaser trailer didn't provide many details. We do know that it's going to be free to play, so it's likely going to be a short and simple game. Square Enix might try to earn revenue from in-game microtransactions, or lock certain content behind a one-time fee like Nintendo does for some of its mobile games.

I'm a fan of the Tomb Raider series, so being able to play a Tomb Raider game on my phone would be cool. But what about you, would you want to play this game when it's available? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more news on the hottest mobile games.

Apple Patents Flexible Batteries

Apple really makes all kinds of patents, but some just seem to fit with what they're doing at the time like this patent describing a design for flexible batteries. The patent itself was filed in December 2011 but it covers the design of a flexible battery pack which allows the battery to be shaped to fit a form factor of an electronic device. Apart from being perfectly suited for Apple's upcoming iWatch, the isolated cell design allows it to be more reliable in that in case one of the cells fail the other cells will not fail together. While it seems to fit with the iWatch, this flexible battery design could just as well be used in any of Apple's other devices.[Source]

Apple Patents Now-you-see-it Now-you-don't Bezel, maybe for iWatch?

Apple really comes up with some interesting patents and one of their more recent patents sounds particularly well suited for devices with small screens, which also sounds particularly well suited for Apple's upcoming iWatch. The patent in question is for a bezel technology that disappears (and becomes touch capable) and reappears (becoming insensitive bezel) when needed. Believe it or not, bezels are quite necessary for most touchscreen devices as they help offer a place to grip, however, for a small touchscreen like on the upcoming iWatch, having a situation where you need a bit more space could come in handy. While the patent specifies a bezel that can disappear or reappear as necessary, it also allows you to change the appearance of the bezel. In this way you could customize your iWatch with any number of colours or patterns. While it looks very appropriate for the upcoming iWatch, Apple usually don't use their patents until much later, however, should it be used, it could be implemented in other touchscreen devices such as Apple's upcoming iPhone and iPad mini refresh as well.

Apple Pay appears on Shopee but not activated yet

If you were purchasing an item on Shopee today, you may have noticed a new payment method - Apple Pay. Granted, Apple Pay is not official in Malaysia but this is hinting at its arrival. Or at least that's what we think.

Should it be true, then the Apple Pay momentum could happen in the next few days. According to sources, Apple Pay appeared on AmBank's platform by accident and it was the first clue. The feature first made its debut back in 2014 but has never set foot in Malaysia until now. Like Samsung Pay, Apple Pay lets the iPhone user link a debit and credit card to the Apple Wallet app.

There's no word from Apple Malaysia, Shopee and AmBank on the matter. So until then, we just have to wait and sit tight to see if Apple Pay launches here or not. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

Stand a chance to win a Samsung 65-inch 4K smart TV + 5 reasons to get the Samsung Galaxy A series

Samsung has officially announced the Confirm Amazing Promo, where you can stand a chance to win up to a Samsung 65-inch 4K Smart TV from 14 September until 18 October 2020. In order to stand a chance to win, all you need to do is purchase any selected Galaxy A smartphones starting from as low as RM399.

But the main question is, why would anyone get a Galaxy A series smartphone in the first place? Here are 5 reasons why the Samsung Galaxy A series would make a great choice when if you’re keen on purchasing a new smartphone.

The Galaxy A series comes with up to 4 cameras in there rear

To the uninformed, the Samsung Galaxy A series may seem like any other smartphone out there in the market. However, on closer inspection, the Galaxy A series actually comes equipped with several camera functions that are typically found on flagship-tier smartphones as well as camera sensors as high as 64MP.

To give a small rundown, the Samsung Galaxy A31, A51, and Galaxy A71 smartphones come equipped with a quad-camera setup in the rear while the rest of the smartphones in the series have at least up to a triple-camera setup. With that in mind, this makes the Galaxy A series good for taking pictures in almost any situation ranging from night photography all the way to landscape photography.

Quickly top-up the battery with the 25W fast charging!

In terms of battery life, the Galaxy A series comes equipped with up to around 5000mAh which is higher than some of the flagship smartphone out there on the market. With that said, these phones are more than able to last around a day and a half of usage before needing to recharge.

But that’s not all, they’re also equipped with up to 25W fast charging, which lets you quickly top-up the battery while you’re in the shower or while taking a nap. With that in mind, the moments where your phone run out of battery will occur much less frequently.

Large displays that are great for watching videos!

Smooth gameplay regardless of the phone you get

What contributes to the Galaxy A series’ affordability is not going overboard on the tech specs, and instead tuning the internal hardware that’s just enough for the average user. Therefore, the Samsung Galaxy A71 comes equipped with the Snapdragon 730 chipset while the Galaxy A51 has an Exynos 9611 instead.

As for the other smartphones, they come equipped with up to a MediaTek Helio P65 chipset that’s capable of handling almost any application the user would throw at it. As for the RAM capacity, you can expect the series to have up to 8GB RAM, which is more than enough to handle multiple apps at the same time.

Just like most of the higher-end Samsung smartphones currently out there, the Samsung Galaxy A series also supports Samsung Pay, which allows you to perform transactions simply by tapping your phone on the reader. But that’s not all, you’ll be able to earn points allowing you to claim various rewards from Samsung.

However, it is best to note that currently only the Samsung Galaxy A31, A51, and A71 smartphone support the Samsung Pay function while the Galaxy A21s, A11 and A01 do not. So you might want to take that into account when purchasing an A series phone.

The most expensive Galaxy A smartphone with the best hardware out of the bunch

Great choice if you're looking for a middle ground between affordability and performance

With all that said, some might think that all the smartphones, as well as all the features I’ve mentioned, may cost upwards of RM2000 which isn’t what most people would deem as affordable. But the fact is, the Samsung Galaxy A series consists of multiple smartphones with a different price point to ensure that there’s a smartphone for everyone.

To go into more detail, the Samsung Galaxy A71, A51, and A31 are priced at RM1699, RM1299, and RM999 respectively. If you’re keen on getting a cheaper smartphone, there’s also the Galaxy A21s, Galaxy A11, and A01 which are priced at RM899, RM529, and RM399 respectively.

Prizes worth a total of RM472000 are up for grabs!

So yeah, these are some of the reason why you may want to consider when getting a Samsung Galaxy A series smartphones. Other than the fact where you could stand a chance to win a 65-inch 4K Smart TV, you can also win either a Convection Microwave Oven with HOT BLAST, or a Canister Bagless with Twin Chamber System vacuum cleaner worth RM1499 and RM309 respectively.

All you need to do to stand a chance to win is to purchase any of the selected Galaxy A series smartphones, take a selfie with it, and send it to Samsung’s official website. If you want to find out more information in regards to the campaign, as well as all the smartphones mentioned above, head over to Samsung’s official website.

45 million compromised Malindo Air passenger records spotted on online forum 3 years after data breach

Back in March 2019, Malindo Air suffered a data breach which compromised the passenger records of over 45 million of its customers. While the airline (which has since been rebranded to Batik Air following the pandemic) announced that it has successfully contained the leak in September 2019, the consequence of the cybersecurity issue was not known until today, whereby the leaked data has been spotted in an online forum known for selling personal data.

As shared by @xanda on Twitter, it seems that the compromised database has surfaced at an online forum named clear net. The leaked passenger records from 2019 include sensitive information such as email addresses, dates of birth, physical addresses, passport numbers and phone numbers.

Malindo Air (a Malaysian airline) database dump published in clear net. The database contains email addresses, dates of birth, physical addresses, passport numbers and phone numbers; claimed to be breached in 2019 pic.twitter.com/MVKlYtDREN

During the cybersecurity incident in 2019, an organisation called Spectre claimed that there are responsible for the leak. As a response to the incident, Malindo Air initiated an auto-reset of all customer passwords and warned them to be wary of suspicious emails and calls.

Thankfully, the data leak didn’t affect the credit card and banking details of the over 45 million Malindo Air customers. However, the sensitive information leaked can still be used in other malicious ways.
