Sony Xperia Z phones getting Android 5.0 Lollipop very soon

Owners of Sony Xperia Z phones have only been waiting for the official Android 5.0 software update to be released. We learned about this was under development quickly after the latest Android platform was launched by Google last year. We were expecting a release last week and rollout to some units have already started. We also mentioned that more Xperia devices are receiving the Lollipop update. Unfortunately, we're not certain what will happen to non-Xperia Z phones as Sony already announced that they're not upgrading non-Xperia Z phones to Lollipop.



This week, more Sony Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact owners should be receiving a notification about the new mobile OS version. Next week, the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet will finally receive their turn. Even the Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia C3 will also receive the improvements that come with Android 5.0--Material Design elements, more fluid animations, and enhanced lockscreen notifications among others.


Sony Mobile just posted a teaser, telling us that Android Lollipop is coming soon.

Yet-to-be-released is the sweet Lollipop version for the classic Xperia Z. We have no information on the exact release date but at least we know it's arriving. This is welcome news for anyone who owns a classic Xperia Z. Moreover, on Twitter, Sony Mobile News mentioned that the software update for the Z1 compact will be released the same time as the Z1 and Z Ultra and that Lollipop for Xperia Z2 will roll out next week.

Facebook now lets you make digital scrapbooks of your kid’s pictures

Parents, especially new ones, can always be found sharing photos of their child or children on social networks. Some even give monthly or weekly photo updates to show off how cute their progeny are, especially to relatives or loved ones that are far away and can only see the kids online. But sometimes, the photos are digitally scattered so it's hard to keep track of them. The largest network of them all. Facebook, is now giving you a much more organized way of sharing your children's photos with their new Scrapbook feature.



On the Family and Relationships tab on your About section, you can now see an option to create a scrapbook. If you already have a child there on your profile, you just need to click Add Scrapbook. And if your child is too young to have their own FB account, just create a scrapbook, choose the name for it, and choose the tag that you'll be adding to pictures you'll be uploading from now on. You can also choose your partner to co-own the scrapbook with you and only you and he/she will be able to choose which photos to put the special tag on to include in the scrapbook.

The next few feature rollouts would also be useful. So that you won't always flood your timeline with pictures of your kids (not everyone appreciates their pictures, no matter how cute they are), you can invite people whom you know would be interested in your child's progress, to subscribe to the Scrapbook directly. Or you can also choose specific photos which you want to share with your parents, other relatives, or friends.

This is a Facebook feature that comes from the personal insights of some of the developers and it is obviously a labor of love that will benefit a lot of parents who want to organize the photos of their kids as they slowly grow up. This should be available on your Facebook accounts now, but if it isn't yet, just wait for the gradual rollout to reach you.

Inbox for Gmail now lets you custom your snooze times

In a world where not everyone works in the morning or sleep in the evenings, it is important that you will be able to customize your snooze options (and we don't mean the actual snoozing/sleeping or your alarm clock's snooze alarm). Google says that one of their most requested for features in their Inbox for Gmail app is the ability to choose when you'd like to snooze certain emails, and now they have finally given the users what they want.



The minor update to the Inbox app now lets you customize your morning, afternoon, and evening snooze times for when you want to check (or not check) your emails. And customizing it is not that complicated and in fact you just need to click a few buttons and Inbox will adapt to you. So when you snooze one of your emails and you choose a different time, Inbox will prompt you if you'd like to change your default morning snooze time to that. So if you say yes, then it will automatically change all your morning snoozes (sneezes?) to that time. But if you'd like to adjust all of those times (morning, afternoon, evening) in one go, you can just go to the Snooze Settings.

Another minor update to Inbox on the web is that you now have quicker access to your contacts. They're also working on giving you an easier way to delete emails from your Inbox, as well as adding customizable signature support for the app. Again, these are features that have been requested by users.


If you don't have Inbox for Gmail yet, you can get it for free from the Google Play Store. if you already have it, just wait for the update to roll out to you.

Google welcomes April Fools with Google Maps Pacman invasion

Trust Google to always be creative in the way they celebrate online events. April Fools is such a big thing on the internet right now that it’s quite impossible for Google not to do something, as they have done for the past few years. This morning, the mothership started the cute prank early, with respect to time zones who were already on April 1st – this particular one involved our favorite pellet-chomping video game hero Pacman.



Google went to one of its main services, Google Maps for this one, and they incorporated the classic Pacman video game to certain portions of the maps – both in the browser version and the Android version. How does it work? Well, you have to follow one of the given location clues (see below).

Once you’ve found one of the locations, a small Pacman icon will appear at the lower right corner of the screen. Click or tap on the icon, and then you’re good to go. On Android, you can also find this, although it’s not quite the big screen experience that it is on a laptop browser. To find Pacman on Android, you'll have to make sure you’ve updated to the newest version of Google Maps, specifically version 4.4 that rolled out in the past week.

It’s good old fun, and we love the people at Google who think up these cute little Easter eggs – they make you smile, don’t they? There should be more April Fools stuff going around as the day progresses. Watch out, and be very, very suspicious of the Internet today.
