Samsung-booth-sign

A gang of 20 armed robbers have raided a Samsung factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and stolen over 40,000 devices worth around $6 million. Phones, tablets, laptops, and other electronics were loaded into seven trucks before the thieves made off with the loot.

One-M8-lens-scratches

The HTC One M8’s camera doesn’t just get criticized for its 4-megapixel sensor, but also its seemingly substandard glass lens that picks up scratches worryingly easily during normal, day-to-day use. Fortunately, there is an easy fix for the latter.

All you need is a dab of toothpaste and a Q-tip and you can restore your One M8’s camera lens back to pristine condition.

Nokia_Lumia_520_family

While it’s great to see Nokia producing Android handsets — especially after its acquisition by Microsoft —  its existing Nokia X family consists only of affordable devices with entry-level specifications. That could change soon, however, with the launch of an Android-powered Nokia Lumia smartphone.

L-theme-CM

CyanogenMod users can now enjoy a taste of Android L thanks to a stunning third-party theme pack that delivers new icons and overhauls the notification drawer, quick settings panel, Settings menu, and other built-in apps. It also brings new notifications sounds and more simplistic status bar icons.

Android-L-keyboard

If you want a little taste of Android L without the bugs and instability that come with Google’s preview releases, you can start by checking out its awesome new keyboard, which is now available on almost any Android-powered device running Ice Cream Sandwich or later.

A third-party developer has extracted the keyboard APK from an official Android L preview build and made it available to download from Google Play. It’s free, has no ads, and does not require root. Having used it a lot over the past few days, I can confirm it’s surprisingly stable.
