Here are the countries using Google and Apple’s COVID-19 Contact Tracing API

SARS-CoV-2, also known colloquially as just the coronavirus, has wreaked havoc across the world. Many countries shut down large parts of the economy in order to contain the spread of the virus. As countries reopen their economies, many health experts fear a “second wave”, ie. resurgence, of COVID-19. To prevent a second wave, public health experts are advocating that nations adopt contact tracing, ie. tracing all the people who have recently come into contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 and then undertaking steps to isolate those individuals. Contact tracing is difficult to implement correctly without violating an individual’s privacy. The threat to personal privacy was severe enough for Google and Apple to collaborate on an API that developers of public health agencies can use to implement app-based contact tracing solutions. This contact tracing API, which Google and Apple call the Exposure Notification API, is designed to respect user privacy and security.

Once a user downloads an app that uses the Exposure Notification API and opts in to contact tracing, their device starts generating “proximity identifiers” that are changed every 15 minutes (on average). Via Bluetooth Low Energy, these “proximity identifiers” are periodically shared with nearby devices whose users have also opted into contact tracing. The proximity identifier is then processed on-device and does not reveal information about a user’s location or other personally identifiable information. Once a user confirms a positive diagnosis of COVID-19, they can share their diagnosis with the app they installed, which will then inform other users who have come into close contact with them in the last 14 days. For more information on how the Exposure Notification API works, we recommend reading our initial coverage.

Google first rolled out the Exposure Notification API for Android devices on May 20, 2020, as part of an update to Google Play Services, but its use is restricted to apps that have been developed by official public health agencies (for obvious reasons). However, neither Google nor Apple has made details public about the list of apps that have been whitelisted for using this API, so unless you’re constantly keeping up with the news, it’s hard to know which countries have adopted the API. We’ve previously covered some of the countries that have adopted the Exposure Notification API when we talked about the various open-source contact tracing projects that are out there. In this article, we have compiled a list of official contact tracing apps from designated health agencies from various countries that are using Google and Apple’s Exposure Notification API. Our list contains COVID-19 contact tracing apps that have been released or are currently in development.

We discovered Google’s hidden whitelist of application package names for the API. Subsequently, these package names were traced back to apps, their listing, and the countries they belong to. The information is compiled below in a table for easy reference. We have also added Google Play Store and Apple App Store links, if the app has been publicly released, as well as the source code and the official website link, wherever available. We will update the following tables as more countries/regions adopt the API.

The ROG Phone 3’s new Bypass Charging feature prolongs battery life while gaming

The ASUS ROG Phone 3 is probably the phone to get right now if you want the absolute best gaming experience in a smartphone. With games getting more intensive, you need something that can handle them and then more, and the ROG Phone 3 is the device for that. It has a ton of features aimed at improving the gaming experience not to mention its enormous 6,000mAh battery to pull you through a long session. But what if you’re not done gaming or you have access to a charger and don’t want to eat up the phone’s battery life? You can certainly charge the phone and keep playing, but the power draw from the CPU and GPU and the heat generated from charging can negatively affect the battery’s longevity. That’s why ASUS has introduced a new feature called Bypass Charging on the ROG Phone 3.

ASUS actually already has a passthrough charging feature on both the ROG Phone 3 and the ZenFone 7. Under “Battery Care” settings, there’s a “charging limit” feature that lets you set a battery level that, when reached, triggers the charging circuitry to pass power directly to the phone instead of the battery. The new Bypass Charging feature is very similar to that but with a couple of key differences. First up, the feature can be easily turned on and off from the phone’s Game Genie overlay, as it’s most useful when gaming. Second, Bypass Charging doesn’t force you to set a limit or hit a certain battery percentage for it to work: You can just turn it on whenever you want from Game Genie.

This has several advantages for gamers as stress on the battery is reduced during heavy gaming sessions, improving the overall battery longevity. Furthermore, since the battery is not producing as much heat, the phone actually heats up less, resulting in a smoother sustained gaming experience. The firmware update that includes this feature on the ROG Phone 3, version 17.0823.2008.70, is rolling out now. Be on the lookout for an update coming soon to your device.

You can now remotely play your Xbox One games on Android for free

If you love video games, now’s a great time to own an Android phone. That’s because Xbox remote play (previously called Xbox Console Streaming) is now available to Android users for free in the new Xbox app beta, making it easy to stream games from your Xbox One console to your Android device. Microsoft announced the news on Monday, saying the feature is available in the beta version of the revamped Xbox app. Since Xbox remote play is now free, you no longer need to be an Xbox Insider to take advantage of the feature.

Microsoft said the new app has been rewritten from the ground up in the newest update, and it features a brand new design, a unified notification inbox, and a revamped share feature. With a unified notification inbox, you’ll get notifications for parties, chats, and more. When you clear your notifications in the app, they’ll sync across all your Xbox accounts.

The Xbox app is also making changes to how you share content. The app will alert you once a screenshot or game clip is done uploading to the cloud. Once a screenshot or game clip has been saved, you can then share it with a friend or via your social media platform of choice, all right from the app. The Xbox app will also allow users to set up profile highlights, including the ability to share screenshots and clips directly on your profile.

Xbox app unified notifications

Speaking of sharing, the Xbox app makes it really easy to start a party with friends. You can type messages and voice chat with anyone on an Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, or Windows PC. This is a great way to chat about games in a group no matter where you are.

Microsoft is also allowing users to set up their Xbox Series X or Series S using the Xbox app. You’ll be able to use the mobile app to log in and select your settings while your console updates. The app can also be used to install games to your console and manage your game library to free up space. Microsoft said search results have also been unified, making the app the “go-to place” to find what you’re looking for on Xbox.

You can download the new Xbox app now for Android. The app arrives ahead of the launch of the Xbox Series X and Series S in November, and also comes on the heels of Microsoft’s new Game Streaming, a monthly subscription service that allows users to stream more than 150 titles.

Tap, Tap lets you do a triple tap gesture on the back of your Android phone

Back in February, we detailed a hidden feature in the Pixel’s SystemUI app called “Columbus” — a new gesture mechanism created by Google that utilizes sensor data from the gyroscope and the accelerometer to detect taps on the back of select Pixel phones. Google was working on making it possible to perform actions like launching the Google Assistant or taking screenshots using this unique feature, but the company removed these gestures in Android 11 beta builds. XDA Recognized Developer Quinny899 then decided to reuse the under-the-hood machine learning code and TensorFlow models to create an app called “Tap, Tap” that enables the double back tap gesture on any Android device. You don’t need to be rooted to use the nifty little app, and it even has the capability to integrate with Tasker for greater customizability.

Since our initial coverage, the developer has added a bunch of fixes as well as new functionalities in the app. First of all, Tap, Tap is longer considered as alpha. The first beta build (version 0.8) arrived two days ago, which is now succeeded by a quick hotfix build (version 0.8.1). Secondly, it is now possible to configure triple tap gestures using the app. Note that enabling triple tap gesture may slow down double tap actions in some cases.

tap_tap_new_1 tap_tap_new_3

Apart from these changes, the first Tap, Tap beta release brings in four new Android 11 accessibility global actions that include app drawer actions when supported launchers are installed. Support for legacy ARMv7 devices has also been added since version 0.4 alpha. There is an experimental sensitivity option with a slider under the gesture settings (since version 0.5 alpha), which should be useful for end users to tune the ability of the sensors to recognize tapping. Last but not least, the Gates module, i.e. the conditional execution routine, can now detect headsets, music playing, and when the device is placed down flat on a table.

tap_tap_new_2 tap_tap_new_4

Expand the list below to see the cumulative changelog for Tap, Tap:

Tap, Tap Changelog

  • 0.4 Alpha:
    • Added new Split Screen action which starts split screen
    • Added new mock-reachability mode that uses split screen with an empty top half (except for two buttons to open the notifications and quick settings without reaching up)
    • Moved declaration of an action’s category to TapAction instead of defining each category’s items as a list
    • Implemented the isAvailable boolean in the picker, which hides Screenshot & Lock Screen on < 9.0. Updated default list to cope with this on < 9.0 (default is now Assistant then Home)
    • Migrated to using Tensorflow library rather than the shared library and code taken from SystemUI, hopefully fixing Android 7.0. This will also enable armv7 support.
    • Added a bunch of new languages and updates to current ones (now supports English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese & Traditional Chinese)
  • 0.5 Alpha:
    • Added sensitivity option with a slider under the gesture settings (experimental)
    • Added option to disable battery optimisation, and some tips on how to make it work on your weird OEM firmwares
    • Haptic feedback will now only happen when do not disturb is not enabled (thanks Ashutosh Singh) – there’s an option to override this if you want
    • Added power menu action (thanks Adrian Campos)
    • Moved “Reachability” to Utilities
    • Added gates for Keyboard visibility and orientation
    • Fixed app picker not showing all apps when selecting for a gate, and the hide system apps doing the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do
    • Tweaked UI even more
    • Updated translations
  • 0.6 and 0.61 Alpha:
    • Implemented “requirements” (aka “when gates”) for actions. This allows you to specify an action to only be run when a condition is met (any gate can be used for this), such as an app running or the display being off – example on XDA thread
    • Added Table gate
    • Added pocket gate
    • Added gates for detecting headsets and music playing
    • Added Sound Profile control – needs do not disturb access, app will prompt you (thanks Ashutosh Singh)
    • Updated translations & contributors
  • 0.7 Alpha and 0.7.1 Alpha:
    • Fixed an issue in the Columbus JAR that was causing gates to be checked far more often than they needed to be. This means that actions now launch significantly quicker, and there may be less CPU usage and battery drain too
    • Added option to split background service into both an accessibility service and a foreground service with a notification, which may help on some devices. This is optional, and is opt-in from the new Advanced settings page
    • Added option to restart service automatically every hour. Some people have had success doing this themselves using Tasker, so this is an automatic implementation of that. Again, opt-in from the new Advanced settings page.
    • Added automatic update check, runs once a day at midday and shows a notification if there’s an update, as well as checking when the app launches.
    • Added kill switch to disable the gesture without stopping the accessibility service (note that this does a full service restart, so if the gesture stops working, toggling this off and on (or using the QS tile) will restart it and get it working again)
    • Added quick settings tile to toggle the kill switch
    • Added action to launch Google Voice Access (the accessibility app)’s action. This means with that app you can double tap on the back of the device to perform accessibility actions such as clicking icons or scrolling.
    • Added action to launch Google Search (thanks, arkon!)
    • Fixed crash caused by logging on some devices
  • 0.8 Beta:
    Now in beta!
    • Added Triple Tap – a whole new section of the app with the same UI, actions and controls as double tap. Triple Tap is opt in and still slightly experimental, I suggest making sure you have the best Gesture Model setup and rebooting after enabling it for the first time for best results.
    • Added support for Triple Tap to Tasker Event
    • Added actions for four new Android 11 accessibility global actions – Accessibility button, accessibility button chooser, accessibility shortcut and app drawer (supported launchers only)
    • Added hamburger action, with a caveat (read the warning)
    • “Lock screen” action will now disable wake until it’s executed to prevent device waking back up if wake device feedback is enabled
    • Hopefully fixed the service running twice and running incorrect actions on some devices when the service is enabled/disabled/restarted often
    • Experimental: Notification and quick settings action are now dynamic, based on window title. They will now close the notification / QS panel if it’s open, on supported devices
    • Updated translations
  • 0.8.1 Beta:
    • Fixed crash changing feedback options for some devices
    • Further changes to the service to hopefully fix duplication of listeners/actions
    • Fixed missing apps on Android 11 due to package visibility changes
    • Added empty states to actions and gates pages
    • Fixed crash when triple tap was enabled and run but no actions were set

As always, you can download the latest APK of Tap, Tap using the “Latest Release” tag from the project’s GitHub repo. Alternatively, head over to the XDA forum thread linked below and grab the APK from the first post.

Samsung Cancels Developer Conference Due to Ongoing Pandemic

COVID-19 has apparently forced another tech event to be canceled. Samsung announced today it has canceled its annual developer conference citing the need to prioritize the safety of its employees, developer community, and other attendees. While no set date had been announced, the event had traditionally taken place in October or November.

There had been speculation (via SamMobile) that the South Korean tech giant would axe the show, not just due to the ongoing pandemic but because there isn’t much to announce. In previous years, Samsung had used the event to announce updates to its software services like its digital assistant Bixby, but these software additions have never caught on with consumers. There have also been rumblings that Google and Samsung are negotiating a deal to replace many of Samsung’s native software apps—think the Galaxy App store or “Samsung Daily” news feed—with Google ones.

The Samsung Developer Conference has brought some memorable moments, though. It was at this stage where Samsung gave the world the first glimpse of its Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip. The company also used SDC to detail its Android-based software called One UI, with versions 1.0 and 2.0 of the software making their debuts at the 2018 and 2019 events, respectively. Thus, it’s not a stretch to assume that Samsung may have chosen SDC 20 to unveil One UI 3.0, but COVID-19 has changed the game this year. Instead, we’ll likely see the next version of One UI unveiled at its own digital event later this year.

The OnePlus 8T will be unveiled on October 14th

After weeks of speculation and leaks, OnePlus has officially confirmed there is indeed a OnePlus 8T, and it will be unveiled via an online launch event on October 14th. No other details about the phone(s) was announced, but a leak published last week by e-commerce site PriceBaba, in partnership with leaker OnLeaks, suggest the 8T will, unlike the OnePlus 8 series, have a flat display panel and a rectangular camera module located on the upper left corner of the device’s backside.

According to the same Pricebaba leaks, the 8T will also feature a 120Hz panel—a jump from the 90Hz one used in last year’s 7T—and run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 Plus. This puts the phone’s hardware at premium flagship level, which perhaps explains the 8T’s tagline—”Ultra Stops at Nothing”—which appears to be a reference to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. We can expect the 8T to ship with the Android 11-based OxygenOS 11, on which the company has been working and teasing the past few months.

While last year’s 7T was accompanied by a 7T Pro, Android Central‘s Alex Dobie tweeted there will not a Pro variant this year. But that’s okay, OnePlus has enough devices on its hands: The 8T is coming just two months after the launch of the mid-ranger OnePlus Nord, and a rumored Nord N10 5G and OnePlus “Clover” device are apparently coming to the US market soon.
