The Lollipop updates keep rolling out day after day this season. This time around one carrier has simultaneously pushed out the updates to Android 5.0 for no less three devices.
The carrier in question is AT&T and the handsets we're talking about are the Samsung Galaxy Alpha,Galaxy S5 Active, and LG G2 So if you've purchased any one of these from AT&T, know that a tasty Lollipop treat is on its way to you.
For the Galaxy Alpha, the update comes in at 1GB and makes it run Android 5.0.2, build LRX22G.G850AUCU1BOC6. Aside from everything that's new in that software version, the update also removes the SoftCard app.
In the case of the Galaxy S5 Active, the download size is 1.4GB, the version you'll run afterwards is Android 5.0, and the build number is LRX21T.G870AUCU1BOC5.
For the LG G2, the new release removes Browser Bar, Famigo, AT&T Code Scanner, and Beats Music. The update file is 725MB in size, and after performing the procedure you'll be on Android 5.0.2 and software version D80030f.
Today Verizon has started the rollout of the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 units it's sold over the years.
After installing the new release, you'll be on software version LRX21V.N900VVRUEOB6. As you may know by now, Android 5.0 Lollipop brings with it the new Material Design, a new lock screen experience, floating action buttons everywhere, and a revamped recent apps menu. Additionally, Samsung has modified its TouchWiz UI overlay to fit in with Google's new design language, so the colors are bolder, the animations are fluid, and everything is brighter than before

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge survives over 20 minutes under water

Samsung didn’t waterproof the new Galaxy S6 and S6 edge like it did with their predecessor. So, what happens if you drop your Galaxy S6 edge in water?  TechSmartt  decided to find out and dunked the an S6 edge into a bowl of water with the stopwatch running. The phone lasted over 20 minutes before powering off. That's a lot more than can be expected from a phone with no official water resistance rating, but it was not without taking some damage. After some drying and charging the Galaxy S6 edge came back to life, though there was still water in the device (visible in the front-facing camera. The phone also tended to reboot or even not boot at all after the experiment. So, definitely don’t go put your Galaxy S6/S6 edge in water on purpose, though it looks like it has a good chance of surviving an accidental drop if you pull it out quickly and dry it properly. Note that depths plays a part, an IPX7 rating for example specifies up to 1m of water.

The Apple Watch is here! Kind of. Pre-orders are now open online, which is honestly not as exciting as waiting in line for days in anticipation of the next big thing. However, the actual watches will take weeks, and for most people more than a month to arrive, as shipping times are surprisingly long. Apple Watch Sport ships in June (!) Apple Watch (stainless steel) shipping times are four to six weeks Apple Watch Edition shipping times vary between models from July to August (!!) Hey, but if you want to order a band without the watch it will arrive quicker: it only takes 2 to 4 weeks for most bands to ship. Some ship in May (classic buckle), and others are simply not available yet (modern buckle). You can pre-order an  Apple Watch at the Apple Store here  (external link)
