what's happening i'm brian Tong and welcome to google isha's is everything google that we could pack inside of a show each week so let's get to the hottest story and it's all about the nexus 5 after a purported draft of the LG service manual for the next Google phone was posted online for all to see now the 281 page document reveals the overall device design it can also be printed out if you want to do a coloring project but most importantly it's all about the specs and it's expected to feature a 4.95 1080p IPS LCD display with a Snapdragon 800 quad-core running at 2.3 gigahertz 2 gigs of ram 32 gigs of storage wireless charging an 8 megapixel rear camera hdmi output there's conflicting info whether or not it'll have bluetooth three or four point oh now this could all be a hoax but if it is it's a pretty good one and the Nexus 5 is still the most anticipated Android phone right now now if you're looking for an Android 4.4 KitKat update a few early build screenshots of Google's mobile OS have been posted by gadget helpline when it was still internally known as key lime pie the interface looks pretty similar and that's a good thing there's the addition of the Google Drive app animations are reported to be smoother but most of the changes are related to features like enhancements to the photo editor subtle tweaks to the dialer and payment and printing options no data is available yet but all signs are lining up for us to see this with the release of the Nexus 5 now back to phones and LG is doing more after cnet's Roger Cheng learn that LG is preparing a smartphone with a curved display that will be called the LG G flex perfect for this guy now here's a sketch we received of the phone that will not Bend but will be curved from top to bottom LG recently confirmed that they have started production of the 6 inch curved phone and it's slated to be introduced in November but that is subject to change and bigger continues to be better unless your Apple leaked images of the HTC one max show what appears to be a fingerprint scanner on the back side between the SIM card and camera images of verizon's branding on the phone leaked out as well and this is gonna be another six inch bad boy expected sometime this month all right let's take a break and check out a how-to for finding your loss to Android device if you've been jealous of apples Find My iPhone service you've probably wondered why Google doesn't give android owners the same thing well it took a few years but that locator tool is finally here the Android device manager lets you find an android phone or tablet make it ring and if you think it's in the hands of a thief you can even remotely erase it to show you how this works let's say I lost this phone and I'm trying to find it with this tablet first head on over to google.com / android / device manager and log in with the google account associated with the device you're looking for use the drop-down menu in the white box to choose the device you want to locate now if we look at my lost phone we can see that the GPS is working to find it back in the browser the blue circle on the map shows you where your devices it's not a precise location but it's usually accurate within a few dozen meters at this point you can make your phone ring by clicking this button and it'll sound off even if it's on silent if you think your phone was stolen it's probably a good idea to leave the investigation to the police in the meantime you can use this erase device option to remotely wipe all the data for this feature to work you'll have to set it up on that device ahead of time head to your phone or tablet then go to Google settings Android device manager and check this box just know that if you are forced to use that erase device option you completely lose access to it meaning you can no longer locate it now it's great that Google is finally giving us this feature but it could use a little help for starters you can't remotely lock your phone so be sure to set a secure lock screen pass code and this probably goes without saying but this feature only works when the phone you're looking for is online and still registered to your account thanks Sheriff for that and now I know there are a lot of you TV fans out there and this is exciting for those of you who don't have access to HBO or a buddy's HBO Go log in

flimsy but with Samsung you know they can really do anything so this isn't a surprise and if you've been watching TV lately samsung has released its treaty campaign for the galaxy gear watch it ads in
