T-Mobile sends out July security patch to Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge

Google has just announced the August security update for Android, but some device makers and carriers still haven't finalized the rollout of the July update to their products. Case in point: only today has T-Mobile started sending out the July update to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge units it's sold.
After you apply the update, you'll be on the July 1 security patch level. For the Galaxy Note 4, your software version will be bumped up to either N910TUVU2EPG2 (a 309.9MB download) or N910T3UVU2EPG2 (coming in at 281.27MB), depending on which exact model you have. For the Galaxy Note Edge, the new software is version N915TUVU2DPG2 which requires a 328MB download to install.
People are already getting update notifications for these, so if you own a Note 4 or Note Edge purchased from T-Mobile you should too pretty soon, if you haven't already. Of course the completion of the rollout to all devices out there will take at least a few days, so if you simply can't wait go to Settings > System > About device and try to manually get the new release.

New Nexus app launcher leaks with detailed screenshots, wallpapers too!

Android Police got their hands on some really convincing GIFs that show an allegedly redesigned launcher to debut on this year’s new Nexus Marlin and Sailfish handsets. We still don’t know much about the handsets themselves except for a couple of mock-ups here and there.
The launcher in question could be reflective of the final release, but is subject to change as we near the Nexus device refresh and impending release of Android Nougat 7.0.
As soon as you see the screenshots, you’ll notice there is no longer a Google Search bar. It has been replaced by a tab that can be pulled out or tapped on in order to access either Google Now by sliding from the left as you do now, or you can access the Google Search bar by tapping on the “G” icon.
It also looks as if pulling this “G” tab would have some other function, but the launcher demonstration was not running on finalized Android Nougat software, deeming this action useless in its current state. This suggests it may be reserved for some new Google Assistant function.
The second thing you’ll notice is the lack of an app drawer icon. This is because the app drawer is being given a real drawer action. In order to access your apps, you’ll need to pull up on the lower dock of the launcher, revealing your entire app drawer.
As of now, the settings look much like the current Google Now Launcher’s settings with a chance that there will be a different set of options in the final version. Other differences in the launcher include new, updated folder icons, which look like you are viewing them through a telescope or portal (any Portal players out there).
In addition to these leaked launcher GIFs, the official wallpapers for the Nexus devices have made their way to the internet as well. The wallpapers can be previewed here and downloaded at

The On7 Pro is the more premium model with a bigger 5.5-inch screen. It comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, a 13 megapixel camera on the back and a larger 3000mAh battery.
Both phones come with a faux leather finish on the back and Samsung's S bike mode.

Montana by Sheth Group

I was looking for a great residential area in Mulund. I asked a lot of people where should I invest in, I did a lot of research online but I wasn't satisfied with anything! Then my father told me about the project called Montana by Sheth Group. I took a chance and invested in the group. Out of my experience I would give you guys a heads up. I had a wonderful experience as all the things were organised and informed.
