How can I check and see if my phone is rooted?
Did all this stuff work? Am I rooted? Here’s how to tell.
So you just went through a bunch of instructions you didn’t fully understand, or downloaded some program to your computer and let it run, and your phone is supposed to be rooted. (And yes, naysayers, this is more common than you think — not everyone lives and breathes this stuff.) How can you be sure it worked?
Because the people who make our phones (most of them, anyway) don’t want us to be able to root them it’s not as easy as installing an app from Google Play, and sometimes it doesn’t work out like it should. You’ll need to verify that it worked — and is working properly — before you use root to do whatever it is you wanted to do with it. Thankfully, that’s pretty easy to do.
-
Look in your app drawer for a program that controls root access. There are several good ones, and most root methods install one during the process. If you don’t see one and you did get root permissions, you should install one right away. If the app is there and present, open it and make sure it tells you everything is A-OK.
-
Install a root checker app from Google Play. Open it and follow the instructions, and it will tell you if your phone is rooted or not.
-
Go old school and use a terminal. Any terminal app from the Play Store will work, and all you need to do is open it and enter the word “su” (without the quotes) and hit return. You might get a dialog asking you to allow the terminal app to run as root (that’s what you’re doing when you enter su) from a root control app. That’s a good thing. In any case, if your login prompt changes from $ to #, you are the super user. You can even do this via ADB from your computer.
No matter how you check, make sure that you have something watching so that apps can’t do root “stuff” without your permission. Any good root method will include something like the SuperSU app to act as a watchdog. If you are rooted and don’t have an app that monitors root access, ask for support from the folks who made the root method you used about it.
And as always, be careful. Using root permissions is a great way to ruin the software on your phone if you aren’t paying attention or do something without knowing what’s gonna happen. Read everything you can find on the internet, then look again and read some more before you break something.
Instagram is letting users filter words out of post comments
Twitter and Facebook have taken online harassment more seriously in 2016, though their approach is still light-handed, with the former taking years to finally ban one of its worst pitchfork-marshaling demagogues. Instead of coming down harder on moderation, Instagram is putting abuse-prevention in the hands of its users. They will soon be able to set up word filters, letting them control the tone of discussion below each image — or turn off comments in a post entirely. But is it enough to just let folks block triggering phrases?
The feature is already being tested on “high-profile” celebrity accounts, which conceivably field a large volume of comments from other users. It will officially roll out to those first and then to the masses in the next few weeks, according to The Washington Post.
It’s a tough balance to keep online communities safe but not overly restrict free speech: Land too hard on one side and you’ll enrage proponents of the other. But social networks’ previous hands-off strategy letting the community sort itself out has brought accusations of complicity when they don’t prevent harassment and abuse. Letting users block certain offensive or inflammatory words will hopefully prevent some escalation or term-specific targeting.
Of course, trolls and haters shielded with the anonymity of the internet will probably find a way around the block in the same way they have since AOL chatrooms got parental filters: misspellings, euphemisms, and coded language. The exact bigoted or derogatory terms might be banned, but determined thugs will always find a way to get their words heard.
It’s also unclear from the Post’s report whether Instagram will let users block comments only on a per-post basis, or if they will get to turn them off entirely. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for a feature Facebook has had for years: allowing your posts to be visible or accessible by certain friends — or invisible to known trolls.

Google is turning on HSTS encryption across the web
Google has taken additional measures to strengthen its data encryption by implementing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
While most of Google’s data is already encrypted, Google’s utilization of HSTS goes a step further by preventing users from mistakenly heading to HTTP URLs by converting potentially unsafe HTTP URLs into more secure HTTPS URLs. For instance, you might accidentally type in a URL without protocols and find yourself redirected to an unsafe destination. HSTS help curb those issues, especially among less internet-savvy users.
Google is looking to deploy the changes as soon as possible, but there’s still some additional work to be done before it’s ready to go. HSTS is now active for Google.com, however, in the meantime. It will be extended to additional domains and Google products soon.

BLU R1 HD review
Florida-based BLU enjoys a popular presence in the affordable Android smartphone market, with a slew of entry-level and mid-range devices on offer, that are great options for those on a budget. What is great about BLU’s latest smartphone, the R1 HD, is that if you are an Amazon Prime member, you can avail special discounts and offers that help make this already affordable smartphone even cheaper.

Affordability without compromising on quality is what BLU promises, but does the company manage to deliver? We find out, in this in-depth BLU R1 HD review!

Design
We are now seeing an impressive trend where affordable smartphones feature high quality builds, and that is certainly also the case with the BLU R1 HD. The device features a metal frame and a polycarbonate backing, that feels great in the hand. The matte finish of the back cover offers a lot of grip that supersedes the slipperiness of the metal sides, and the slight curve along the sides of the back allow for the phone to sit nicely in the palm of your hand.
Taking a look around the device, the volume rocker is on the right side, with the power button right below it. The buttons come with the same metal finish, and offer a good amount of tactile feedback. The back cover is removable, giving you access to the two microSIM card slots and the dedicated microSD card slot. However, while the back cover is removable, the battery is not. Finally, the headphone jack and the microUSB port are at the top and bottom respectively.
We are definitely seeing more and more affordable smartphones that go above and beyond what their price points would suggest as far as design and build quality are concerned, which is absolutely fantastic, but when you consider how affordable this phone actually is, the BLU R1 HD certainly impresses.
Display
The BLU R1 HD comes with a 5-inch IPS LCD display of 1280 x 720 resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 294 ppi, and a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 panel helps keeps the display protected, which is always a nice touch.
The resolution may disappoint some, but there is only so much you can expect from a device priced at $100. The quality of the display is actually quite good, with content appearing sharp overall, along with good viewing angles and decent color reproduction. You don’t get the punch that you would with the AMOLED screens out there, but this display will certainly get the job done.
Performance
Under the hood, the R1 HD comes with a quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor, clocked at 1.3 GHz, and backed by the Mali-T720 GPU and 1 GB or 2 GB of RAM depending on which version of the device you pick. This review unit comes with 2 GB of RAM, and the overall performance of the phone has been quite good.
There have been no serious issues with day to day performance, and opening, closing, and switching between apps has been fairly smooth. The device also handles gaming quite well, even though it understandably struggles a touch with more graphic-intensive games. Of course, the R1 HD isn’t a performance powerhouse, which is reflected in the benchmark scores, but it isn’t expected to be. For those looking for a decent performer on a budget though, the BLU R1 HD is certainly up to the task.
Hardware
8 GB or 16 GB are the internal storage options available, which also dictates how much RAM you get with the device. With rather low storage options, especially if you pick the 8 GB iteration, users will certainly appreciate the availability of a dedicated microSD card slot, allowing for expandable storage up to an additional 64 GB.
The device comes with two microSIM card slots, but that is a very market dependent feature, and something that may not be all that useful in the US. This phone is also unlocked, allowing you to pick the GSM network carrier of your choice, and you do get 4G LTE connectivity, with bands 2, 4, 7, and 17, with support for band 12 expected to arrive with a future OTA update.
The R1 HD comes with a single speaker unit on the back, which isn’t a great placement, making it easy to cover up when holding the phone in both the landscape and portrait orientation. The sound quality is pretty good however, with no distortion at the highest volume levels, and good highs and lows. The positioning could have certainly been better, but overall, this isn’t a disappointing speaker by any means.
The device comes with a non-removable 2,500 mAh battery, which may seem small, but does offer good battery life. With average usage, the phone comfortably allows for a full day of use, and even with heavy usage, that involved streaming video over LTE and keeping the screen brightness at maximum, the phone managed to last for 8 hours. There are no quick charging capabilities here, and takes around two hours to get back to a full charge, which isn’t too bad.
Camera
The R1 HD comes with an 8 MP rear camera, with a f/2.0 aperture and a 4P lens, along with a 5 MP front-facing unit with a wide angle lens. As is the case with any budget-friendly smartphone camera, these cameras can be hit and miss. The front-facing camera faces issues with overexposure and some noise, and while the wide angle lens allows for you to capture more of the scene, detail is lacking. There is a front-facing flash however, which is useful for any selfie lovers out there.
The story is the same with the rear facing camera as well. You do get good looking shots in daylight and well-light conditions, but the camera does tend to overexpose shots, and noise will start to creep in as the lighting deteriorates. The camera app has a few built-in shooting modes available, including Panorama, but video recording capabilities are limited to Full HD at 30 fps. As is the case with the picture quality, videos tend to look a little grainy as well. Overall, the cameras of the R1 HD will do in a pinch, but are certainly not something to write home about.
Software
On the software side of things, the R1 HD is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, which is great to see, given that some other, more expensive, BLU smartphones released earlier this year were launched with Android 5.1 Lollipop. BLU has also done a good job with keeping the software very close to stock, and there aren’t really a whole lot of extras packed in.
As mentioned, there is an Amazon Prime exclusive version of the device available, with Prime members able to avail discounts and offers when picking up the phone, and later on as well. There is a catch however, with this version coming with lockscreen ads in tow. Essentially every time you press the power button, you will be greeted with a new ad, which you can swipe away to get to your homescreen, and you will even see an ad tacked on at the end of your notifications in the notification shade.
The presence of these ads can be a deal breaker for some, but some users may even appreciate the offers available and the products being displayed. Of course, a standard version, without these ads, is available as well.

Pricing and final thoughts
The BLU R1 HD is currently priced at $100 for the 8 GB and 1 GB RAM version, with the 16 GB and 2 GB RAM iteration requiring just an additional $10, so the latter is definitely the way to go if you do decide to pick up this phone. Amazon Prime subscribers can available a $50 discount, but you will have to deal with the non removable lockscreen ads in this case.
So, there you have it for this in-depth look at the BLU R1 HD! This phone gets a lot right, with a solid design and build quality, decent performance, a clean software package, and an unbeatable price point. The camera experience is a bit of a let down, and the ads, if you go for the Prime version, can get annoying, but at this price, these are understandable compromises to make. If you are looking for a good option on a budget, the BLU R1 HD should definitely be considered.

Clinton’s campaign was also hacked in breach of Democratic Party
The most recent cyberattacks against the Democratic Party, revealed today, also included attacks on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, Reuters reports. It’s unclear if any data was actually compromised, and the Clinton campaign didn’t offer up any comment on the attack. Sources tell the news agency that the Justice Department’s national security division is investigating all of the recent hacks against the Democratic Party, and they note that’s a sign that the Obama administration believe the attacks are state sponsored.
Earlier this week, the FBI revealed that it’s investigating Russia’s potential involvement in the email hack on the Democratic National Convention. Reuters reports that intelligence officials also believe that Russian hackers were responsible for yesterday’s attack on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That would have given the hackers access to things like strategy memos and opposition research, as well as even more emails.
In his usual off-handed style, Donald Trump also called for “Russia or any other person or country” to find emails deleted by the Clinton campaign to “share them with the FBI.” Essentially, he was asking foreign countries to hack the US government. The Clinton campaign was quick to push back, and Trump’s campaign manager later said he wasn’t asking anyone to hack Clinton’s emails.

Review: Standzout’s Helix Dock for Apple Watch is Compact and Convenient
While I have long used the Twelve South Forté on my bedside table to dock my Apple Watch each night, I lacked a convenient alternative for on the go until last week. Enter the Standzout Helix Dock, a compact and convenient charging solution for the Apple Watch.
Helix is an Apple Watch dock made from injection molded polycarbonate plastic. It stores between a 0.3-meter and two-meter Apple Watch charging cable and Apple’s official USB wall charger in a compact and convenient housing, available in clear, black, white, and a phosphorescent glow-in-the-dark color options.
I was sent all four colors for the purposes of this review, and the white one was my personal favorite; however, the glow-in-the-dark version is a unique concept for night use. If you purchase the glow-in-the-dark version, remember that phosphorescent materials require some exposure to bright light before they can glow.
The housing consists of an outer piece that holds the Apple Watch charging puck on the top, and an inner piece that you tightly wrap the charging cord around. The wall charger then slides into the middle, with its prongs extending through cutouts in the plastic, and you plug the USB end of the Apple Watch charger into it.
The assembly process is simple and took me less than one minute, but the cord can get in the way unless it is wrapped very tightly around the inner piece — the compact design leaves very little excess room. The snug fit can make sliding on the outer piece a bit of a challenge, and I also found that the charging cable comes unravelled when I remove the outer piece regardless of how careful I am.
Helix comfortably fit into power outlets around my apartment, including those in tight spaces, and most importantly it worked properly. I have a stainless steel Apple Watch, but the dock works with any models. However, its usage is limited to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and elsewhere Type A plugs/sockets are used.
Helix Dock retails for $19.99, which is somewhat expensive for what is essentially two small pieces of plastic — nothing else is included in the box. But what you are truly paying for is an innovative idea for charging your Apple Watch at home, work, or on the go. The product is also designed and manufactured in the United States.
Several options exist for Apple Watch chargers and docks by now, and the Helix competes well in terms of price, size, and grab-and-go simplicity. It is particularly useful to throw into a backpack before heading out somewhere like the gym or airport, and having one less cable to untangle is always a plus.
How to Buy
Helix Dock retails for $19.99 on Amazon and the Standzout website in clear, black, white, and glow-in-the-dark. Free standard shipping within the U.S. is included, while international shipping to other countries is available.
Note: Standzout provided four Helix Docks to MacRumors free of charge for the purposes of this review. No other compensation was received.

SwiftKey is ‘working quickly’ to address bug that causes predictions to show for the wrong account
The mobile keyboard app company SwiftKey says that it is “working quickly” to fix an issue that was causing some users to see phones numbers and email addresses from strangers.
Earlier this week, online reports posted on Reddit and elsewhere stated that unknown email addresses and phone numbers were showing up in some users’ SwiftKey predictions. The company, which was acquired by Microsoft a few months ago, has now addressed those reports in a blog post:
This week, a few of our customers noticed unexpected predictions where unfamiliar terms, and in some rare cases emails, appeared when using their mobile phone. We are working quickly to resolve this inconvenience. While this did not pose a security issue for our customers, we have turned off the cloud sync service and are updating our applications to remove email address predictions. During this time, it will not be possible to back up your SwiftKey language model.
The vast majority of SwiftKey users are not affected by this issue. If you have any reason to believe you are seeing unfamiliar predictions, please contact reviews@swiftkey.com. We take users’ privacy and security very seriously and are committed to maintaining world-class standards for our community.
SwiftKey says it will continue to offer updates on this situation on its blog site.
HTC Vive will soon be more expensive in the UK, thanks to post-Brexit pound devaluation
HTC will be adjusting the price of the Vive VR headset in the UK due to changes in the value of the pound. While the headset was previously priced at £689, it will now come in at £759.
From HTC:
HTC continuously monitors and adjusts pricing to ensure we are providing our customers with the best value possible. Due to recent currency valuation changes and the current value of the GBP we are adjusting the price of the HTC Vive in the UK to £759 + P&P. The adjustment will come into effect on Monday 1st August.
The value of the pound has dropped over the last month, leading to many companies raising the prices of their products in order to maintain their margins within the UK. We have seen similar moves companies like Dell with its PCs, as well as OnePlus, which raised the price of its latest phone, the OnePlus 3, in response to the weaker pound.

How to fix Galaxy S7 battery life problems
The Galaxy S7’s battery is bigger than before, but you still don’t want to waste what you have.
The eternal quest for longer battery life in smartphones continues on, as evermore efficient chips and bigger batteries are in a battle with new software, apps, features and big screens. You want your phone to do everything, but also do it for a very long time — and those things are at odds, especially if you don’t want to be chasing around a wall outlet everywhere you go.
The Galaxy S7’s 3000 mAh battery is bigger than last year’s Galaxy S6 and offers really solid battery life, actually, but if you consistently find your GS7 coming up short at the end of the day we have a handful of tips for you to get the most out of what battery you have.
Keep on the lookout for battery-hungry apps
As much as we wish that every app out there was written to be a great phone citizen and be cautious in its use of your phone’s limited resources, this unfortunately isn’t the case. If you have a bunch of apps installed and find your phone’s battery is draining faster than you’d like, you can take a look in the phone’s settings to try and diagnose what’s going on.
Head into the phone’s settings, tap Battery and then Battery usage. This isn’t a definitive list of apps that are using up your battery, and of course if you actually use an app a lot it’ll show up, but the battery usage screen can point out if something is chewing up your battery without your knowledge. If you find an app that’s consistently misbehaving, consider uninstalling it.
Check out ‘App power saving’ settings
Even if you identify and remove power-hungry apps from your phone, there are plenty of other apps you want to keep around but are still unnecessarily running in the background. The best way to handle this is in the Galaxy S7’s “App power saving” settings, which can be found inside the Battery area of your phone’s settings.
With App power saving turned on, your phone will restrict the ability of apps to run in the background if you haven’t used them in more than five days. For example, if you haven’t opened up the Foursquare app in five days, it won’t be able to run rampant in the background because you’ve expressed that you aren’t interested in having it running all the time. The app will still work when you open it up and that’ll reset the counter for it to be optimized again.
In the settings you can define on an app-by-app basis what the settings will be, if you wish — the default will have the app save power after five days of inactivity, but you can also set it to always save power or never save power. For example, you may want a travel utility like the American Airlines app to always be able to run for flight updates, even though you may not open it every five days.
Uninstall or disable unused bloatware
If you bought your Galaxy S7 from a carrier, chances are it’s been loaded up with a good number of apps — call ’em “bloatware” if you wish — that you don’t want. These apps can run and use up your battery, and even if you don’t have one egregious culprit a handful of bad actors could add up to a meaningful impact on battery life.
So instead of just ignoring these pre-installed apps or hiding them in your launcher, go through and uninstall what you can and disable the rest. Head into your phone’s settings, find Applications and then tap Application manager to get a list of apps. To find everything, tap More and then Show system apps.
Turn off unused radios like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
This is something that’s true no matter what phone you have — if you don’t plan on using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for a long period, just turn them off. With the Galaxy S7’s quick toggles in the notification shade it’s easy to just tap and turn them off, and quickly flip them back on when you need. Now of course there’s no reason to bother shutting off these two radios if you’re going to turn them on over and over again throughout the day — convenience is important — but if you’re going to go a long stretch without either one, take the two seconds to turn them off.
If you do want to keep Wi-Fi on, you can at least turn off a few advanced features that will take up a little extra juice. In your Wi-Fi settings, tap More then Advanced and turn off Network notification, as well as any other hotspot auto-join settings your carrier may have added.
Use Power saving and Ultra power saving modes
Samsung has awesome built-in power saving modes on all of its recent phones, and they really work well. The one that most people will find useful is the standard “Power saving mode,” while “Ultra power saving mode” remains as the absolute last-ditch toggle to use.
When you turn Power saving mode on, your phone will do a handful of things to eke out a handful of extra percentage points when your battery reserves are low. The Galaxy S7 will limit its performance, turn off vibration feedback and restrict location services to offer battery savings with minimal effect on your use of the phone. If you want to go a step further, tap the settings toggle to restrict all background data, which will keep apps from using data while they aren’t open and in use. You can set Power saving mode to turn on automatically at 50, 20, 15 or 5% battery, or you can just toggle it on manually as you need.
Ultra power saving mode goes several steps further, switching your phone to the absolute bare minimum of performance and features in order to maximize limited battery resources. Your phone’s display will switch to a greyscale mode, apps usage will be restricted, mobile data will turn off with the screen and extra radios are turned off. This is really designed for last resort situations, and should really only be used when keeping your phone alive is far more important than actually using your phone.
Make a few changes to your Display settings
The Galaxy S7 has an industry-leading display, and while it’s actually really efficient it will still take up a large chunk of your battery over the course of the day. If you dive into your phone’s display settings, you’ll find a few different tweaks you can make that won’t change the way your experience your phone while also saving a few percentage points on your battery.
- Screen brightness: Consider lowering your screen brightness just a tad. You can still keep automatic brightness checked for proper visibility in a variety of conditions, but moving the slider down a bit will drop the brightness in many situations.
- Screen timeout: The lower the better. Your screen isn’t using power when it’s off!
- Smart stay: This feature keeps the screen on when you’re actively looking at it, which may help you cope with turning down your overall screen timeout setting.
- Always On Display: Depending on which AOD mode you use it use take too much battery, but if you can handle not having information on your otherwise “off” display, you can save a few percentage points by turning off AOD altogether.
Turn off automatic updates from Google Play and Galaxy Apps
If there’s one thing we’ve established at this point, it’s that apps running when you’re not expecting them to can be annoying. This also goes for the app stores that download and manage those apps, which in this case are Google Play and Galaxy Apps.
When it comes to Google Play, head into the app’s settings, tap Auto-update apps and set to Do not auto-update apps for the most battery savings. If you’d prefer to get those updates automatically but want to find a healthy middle ground, select Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only, which will also save you on mobile data costs.
In Galaxy Apps, tap the More button and then Settings to reveal the auto-update settings. Here, Samsung makes a distinction between auto-updating its own apps and auto-updating other apps you’ve installed through the store. When it comes to Samsung’s own apps, your best option is setting Via Wi-Fi only. For other apps, you have the option to select Turn off.
Take advantage of Fast Charge when you do have to power up
No matter what you do to extend the battery life on your Galaxy S7, the sad truth is you’ll have to actually charge it up at some point. When you do finally charge up your GS7, consider using the power brick and cable that came with the phone. With this charger, your Galaxy S7 will charge at the fastest possible rate, meaning you can get the phone back off the charger in less time — just 30 minutes on the charger will add a substantial amount to you battery.
If you want to have a secondary charger, look for chargers that are certified for Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 to get a similar experience when you don’t have the in-box charger available.
Last resort: Consider a battery case
Though all of the above tips can add up to a pretty substantial increase in battery longevity, some people just can’t do what they need on their phones and keep the battery lasting all day. When push comes to shove, we (reluctantly) recommend you check out a battery case for your phone. Our leading choices come from Samsung itself and well-known case maker Mophie, which both make really solid options for the Galaxy S7.
Samsung’s Wireless Charging Battery Pack is slick (by battery case standards), simple and will add 50% to your Galaxy S7’s battery with wirelessly charging that leaves your ports uncovered.
See at Amazon
Mophie’s Juice Pack is a bit bigger and adds 60% battery to your phone in about half the time of Samsung’s own case — and while it charges the phone over Micro-USB, the case itself can be charged wirelessly.
See at Amazon
Both will add substantial bulk to your phone, but if you just can’t make it through the day any other way, give these a look.
