LG G4 images leak out; show a familiar face
A user over on the XDA forums who is a T-Mobile employee, got his hands on an LG G4 to apparently test the device. Fortunately for us, he wanted to post some images and they definitely show a familiar face.
The leaked images show a shape that fits with what is expected of the LG G4. It is essentially a beefed up and slightly refined LG G3; similar to the likes of the M8 to the M9. The buttons are still on the rear of the device, but the power button has gotten a new shape which is more oval like. The speaker remains in the same spot as its predecessor.
One thing you may notice that is different about the design is that it features what look to be a stylus on the top of the device. It has been rumored that will be only for the ‘G4 Note’, but if LG wants to include a stylus to compete with the Note series, it might come on the regular G4 instead.
On top of it all, the device is running Android 5.0.2 and seems to take cues from Material Design. All of the LG icons seem flatter and the color scheme fits with the identity more. It also ships with the beloved Lollipop soft keys. The device’s display seems to be very crisp and hopefully they upgrade to AMOLED instead of using the IPS LCD display found on the LG G3.
Seeing the LG G4 in the hands of a T-Mobile employee for testing is a good sign that we could see the debut of LG’s next device this April. It has been rumored that they are targeting late April, but they are just rumors so far. If this is the LG G4, will you be picking up this device? Let us know!

BlackBerry offering extended limited warranty to some Z30 owners
Are you a BlackBerry Z30 owner whose update to BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 didn’t go so well? If so, you might be able to apply for an extended limited warranty from BlackBerry provided you meet the criteria. As mentioned in the BlackBerry Knowledge Base, if after updating to BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1.2243 or 10.3.1.2267, you experienced an issue wherein the screen did not power on, you can apply for an extended warranty.
UK retailers taking pre-orders for the BlackBerry Leap with arrival expected April 29th
UK retailers are gearing up for the BlackBerry Leap and several have now started taking pre-orders for the latest all-touch BlackBerry smartphone. Clove and Expansys have posted up their respective pre-order pages with arrival expected ‘late April’ however Unlocked Mobiles has taken it one step further and posted an actual release date of April 29th.
No Apple Watch mixing-and-matching come April 10 — collections are it
The Apple Online Store previews all of the Apple Watch case and band combinations, grouped into collections.
Despite that, some have hoped, come pre-order time, they’d still be able to to mix-and-match cases and bands to get any combination they liked, without having to buy any additional bands. Sadly not. As of right now, you will only be able to order one of the Apple Watches in the case and band pairs as presented in the collections, and that doesn’t seem likely to change.
So, if you want a sliver aluminum case and a black band, you’ll have to buy the black band separately and swap it in afterwards. Likewise if you want a space gray aluminum case and a colored band, a space black stainless steal case and a leather loop, or any combination not explicitly included in a collection, you’ll have to get the watch and an additional band.
If you go to the Apple Watch Online Store, the option you have in preview now will be the options you have for pre-order on April 10 will be the options you have for purchase on April 24.
So, set your purchasing expectations accordingly, and if you need any extra help deciding what you should get, check out our complete Apple Watch Buyers Guide.

QNX hosting webinar on applying smartphone wireless technology to connected embedded systems
QNX recently unveiled their QNX Wireless Framework, which enables rapid cellular and Wi-Fi integration and faster time to market for embedded system applications by allowing embedded systems developers to make cellular and Wi-Fi hardware changes without having to rewrite software or how apps run. On March 26th, they’ll be hosting a webinar for software developers, software engineering managers, and others involved in building connected embedded systems to outline how that framework can be used.

The Fitbit mobile app now lets you sync multiple trackers to your account
File this one under first-world problems but if you are like us and own multiple Fitbit trackers (collect them all!) you no longer have to decide which to wear. In a backend update, Fitbit has thrown the switch to let users synchronize multiple Fitbit Trackers to their account through the mobile app.
Previously, if you owned the more rugged and full-featured Surge and the leaner Charge HR, you would have to pair only one to your account. The other device would essentially be kicked out from tracking until you repaired it.
Like the Highlander, there could only be one. Needless to say, it is rather cumbersome to switch trackers on the fly with this method.
Starting today, you can now keep multiple trackers paired to your account, and they all will continue to sync. Wear your Surge on a hike, take the Charge HR to work, use the One when you have to dress up – the choice is yours.
For Android and iOS, the app uses programming to determine which is the active tracker. However, on Windows Phone, users can manually set which device to make primary.
This feature was initially announced along with the new Fitbit Surge Bike-Tracking feature earlier this week. However, the multiple-tracker support was just enabled starting today.
Since this is a backend update, you do not need to update your mobile software.

Beatport’s new app will drop the ultimate bass on your iPhone and iPad
Beatport will dock at the Apple harbour by launching a new app for those who enjoy dance music. The online music resource recently launched a new free streaming service, which these new apps will compliment. It plans to become the number one destination for not only music fans, but also DJs looking to stock up on tracks.
As Beatport is owned by SFX Entertainment, the app will sport a calendar of EDM events with integrated ticket purchasing functionality. Beatport Live provide DJs with a live streaming service and everyone else can enjoy the free unlimited streaming. It’ll be an interesting move for the company who has failed to embrace the app development breakthrough mobile platforms have brought to developers
The Android app is now available, so we imagine it won’t be long for the App Store listing to pull through.
