It’s happened to all of us: you accidentally left your smartphone in the car. Sometimes you might rush back to get it, and other times you might think, “Hey, I don’t need it right now, I’ll get it when I head back.” Normally, a smartphone sitting in a vehicle for a few hours is not too big of a deal, but when the temperature outside is below freezing , it could cause some unexpected problems for your phone’s battery. The biggest problem is a quick drain — depending on how cold it is, a smartphone battery could go from fully charged to completely dead in a matter of minutes. What’s worse is that right after that quick drain it will be impossible to recharge the device. But don’t worry! Your battery is OK and your smartphone is going to be fine.

Apple has apparently revoked certificates for Google’s internal iOS apps (not its consumer apps). The revocation likely stems from the revelation that Google’s Screenwise Meter app used Apple’s enterprise program, violating Apple’s rules. Facebook had a similar revocation earlier this week surrounding an app of its own. Google just issued a statement to  The Verge regarding the rumor that Apple disabled Google’s enterprise developer certificate. In Google’s statement, the company admits that there has been “a temporary disruption,” seemingly confirming the rumor is true. “We’re working with Apple to fix a temporary disruption to some of our corporate iOS apps, which we expect will be resolved soon,” Google said in the statement. According to sources familiar with the matter, all of Google’s internal iOS apps are now disabled. These include early beta versions of popular Google apps like Gmail , Google Maps , etc., as well as apps designed specifically for Googlers such as

With Verizon and Sprint rolling out Android 9 Pie to the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus , it would have seemed like a good bet that Verizon or Sprint would be the first U.S. carrier to roll out the update to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 . However, it looks like AT&T is coming in with the update first. According to users on Reddit , the AT&T-branded Note 9 is receiving the Android 9 Pie update right now. Unfortunately, it appears many Redditors are experiencing very slow download times for the roughly 1.8GB update.

The UltraViolet movie locker service was one of the film industry’s first attempts to curb piracy and embrace the proliferation of digital media. However, the company just announced the service will end on July 31, 2019 . Until that date, UltraViolet services will continue to operate as normal; you’ll still be able to stream the content in your locker without issue. After July 31, though, your account will automatically close so you’ll no longer be able to access your content through the UltraViolet service. Instead, you will need to access your content from the retailer sites from which you originally purchased that content or services which support those media titles. For example, this could be Fandango Now, Vudu, or Verizon Fios. Click here for the full list of retailers. Editor's Pick 10 best filmmaker apps for Android!
