While Google does however have a number of challenges, including Apple’s approval: the American manufacturer will not be reluctant to admit a new charge cheaper alternatives to his own Apple Watch.

Update Google Play services: Pay Android seems to be ready for launch – Android World

With Google Play services Google can bring new features and security fixes for devices without his having to receive an update to Android. Google has started rolling out a new version of Google Play services, which include Android Pay more or less turns.

Android Pay

Google announced at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year the new payment solution for Android Pay. Pay With Android, users, initially only in the United States, including contactless payments with their smartphone. Because the functionality of Android Pay in Google Play service is stopped, users do not need a new Android version to use Android Pay.

The advantage of Android Pay as Google that no credit card information will be dealt with the store, the settlement of the payment is done by Google. Android Pay is not only for payments, but also includes loyalty cards. When you make a payment with Android Pay, for example, loyalty points are credited automatically.

On Reddit have been several reports from users who have received the update Google Play services. They report that Android Pay by this update more or less turns, but the service is not yet fully online. It was not possible to add a credit card to the payment service.

We’ve also just poked around in the code and texts hidden in Google Play Services 8.1 and found there some new images and texts related to Android Pay, including this interesting fish food -Image, in addition to a dog food -Image. dog fooding is meant internal testing new software means possible fish food testing with a test group.

Kids Accounts

When sifting through the Play services new version, we also got new references to accounts from kids. These special accounts for children can be completely restricted by parents. Since Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) are restricted accounts, where parents can specify which apps children can use. Kids accounts go one step parents including setting how long their children can use a tablet or smartphone, and may also determine the location

& lt; string name. = “auth_kids_setup_wizard_services_backup_dialog_text” & gt; “When you turn on automatic backup, this device’s data was Periodically saved to your child’s Google Account Backups May include information on your child’s application data folders, like preferences, settings, messages, photos, and other files.. “& lt; / string & gt;

A new feature that we encountered is that there are also automatic backups can be made of the settings and data of children’s accounts. Furthermore, diagnostic data can be automatically sent to Google so that Google can ensure that they protected accounts better. For parents we have also signaled new possibilities, namely to ‘create’ a family where several children’s accounts can be hung under a parent account.

When this child accounts are actually launched, it is not yet known. However, it seems that support the features parents have come a lot closer with this update Google Play services. It is possible that Google turn these remote functions, possibly in combination with a new management app.

Availability

Google has started rolling out Google Play Services 8.1 and about Generally, such a deployment is completed within a few weeks. So you do not have to do to receive the update. It is possible to install the new version manually, but in this case is not recommended: many users that the update manually installed complain about constant crashes even make it difficult to remove the update. This has to do with the recommendation is normally to install a version ending in the same number as the current version, but these numbers are shifted by the introduction of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Android Pay is officially not yet available, but will at launch are only in the United States to use.

The Samsung S5 is now equipped with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, the latest version of Android operating system, but perhaps the device gets the update to the new Android 6.0 does not Marshmallow. Samsung has told SlashGear know which devices the update does get, but the flagship of last year was mentioned as yet not one of them.

Among other things, the new Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and the Note 5 will be equipped with The new software, but also the S6 Edge + Tab A, Edge Galaxy Note and Galaxy Alpha found in the list of models for which the update is confirmed. When the first devices, the update however actually get served is nothing yet known.

The list does not have to be final and it can but so that the S5 is added yet, which seems fairly likely. The device did not bring the hoped-for sales success of the previous S handsets, but there are a few tens of million units sold.
