According to the latest update by Google, the devices running Android 2.3.7 or lower will no longer be able to sign in on their Android devices. From September 27 onwards if you have an old smartphone you may get an error message for user name or password when you try to log in to Google services such as Gmail, YouTube, Maps and other products.
Android 2.3 Gingerbread was rolled out in December a decade ago and if your device is still running on this operating system then you would not be able to sign in from devices with Android 2.3.7 or older. This is the company’s effort to keep the user protected. After September 27 when they try to sign on Google products or services such as Gmail, YouTube and Maps they are likely to get a username or password error.
“As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our users safe, Google will no longer allow sign-in on Android devices that run Android 2.3.7 or lower starting September 27, 2021. If you sign in to your device after September 27, you may get username or password errors when you try to use Google products and services like Gmail, YouTube, and Maps,” the company stated.
So, in this case, you have the option to update to a newer Android version (3.0+) as advised to do so in order to maintain access to Google apps and services on that device. If this is not possible then you should either upgrade to a new device. The third option is you can log into your Google account on your device’s web browser. You can still use some Google services when logged into Google on your device’s web browser.
In order to access your Google Account and email on your device using a web browser, open your phone’s browser app. Go tomyaccount.google.com. Or Go tomail.google.com.Then enter your username and password.
According to Google, when support ends for sign-in with a Google Account on Android 2.3.7 and below, you will receive a username or password error if you try to sign in to your devices or to add an email or calendar account. The following cases can also lead to this error if you:
Perform a factory reset of your device and try to sign in.
Change your password either on the device or on a different device, which then signs you out everywhere else. When you try to sign in again, you will receive an error message.
Remove your account from your device and re-add it.

The TWS earphones revolution in India began a while ago, therefore, capturing the interest of tech enthusiasts and those who are passionate about music. Currently, the market is flooded with so many brands offering true wireless earphones ranging from Rs 1,500 and going up to Rs 15,000. Sony, Samsung, Apple and OnePlus are the biggest players in the premium range category. Whereas Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, LG and others are contending in the affordable to mid-range segment.
Now there is a new entrant, AIWA is a Japanese consumer electronics brand that has re-entered India with the launch of 5 audio devices ranging from Rs 699 to Rs 7,999. We have reviewed the AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones that are priced at Rs 1,799. Let’s find out how well these performed and the features it offers. Here is our review.
In This Article
AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones review: Design
AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones fall under the budget category featuring an ergonomic design. The build quality says it is more of a budget one and gives more of a plasticky feel. We used the white colour option, however, you can also go for a black variant, too. The device is bundled with an additional pair of silicone ear tips and a micro USB cable, required for charging.
The casing of the earphones is oval in shape, which has the company branding along with the model number on the top, whereas the lower side shows some details related to the charging capacity of the earbuds as well as the charging case. The micro USB port is given just below the hinge that fastens the edges of the casing. It has a magnetic casing. There is a small display between the two earphones that shows the battery percentage of the case. Both the buds contain LED indicators and as said, come with a plastic build.
There are physical buttons as well as inbuilt volume controls on both earbuds. The ear tips have mesh layering to protect them against dust. So no complaints from the build quality given the price point they are in.
AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones review: Performance
Coming to the performance side, AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones come with Bluetooth 5.1 support that assures better stability, but sadly the individual bud has mono mode support, which means there is no support for dual pairing. Talking about the waterproof rating the TWS earphones have IPX4 certification guaranteeing protection from water splashes and dust.
In terms of battery capacity, each bus equips a 38mAh battery, whereas the charging case comes with 200mAh inbuilt battery. According to the company, when these earphones are fully charged the earbuds deliver 6 to 8 hours of music time. However, during our testing, AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones could only deliver 3 hours of music time at 100 percent volume level, which is on the lower side.
The charging case is capable enough to charge the earphones three to four times over. AIWA claims that the TWS earphones can offer 24 to 30 hours of total music time. Unfortunately, the device is bundled with a micro-USB charging cable instead of Type-C support, which is its biggest drawback in today’s time. Also, it doesn’t support fast charging. In 10 minutes of charging it offers 26 minutes of music playback whereas these buds along with the casing take about 1.5 hours to get fully charged.
Coming to the most important aspect of AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones is their sound quality. The earphones come equipped with 8mm drivers that offer a good sound quality. But if you are a rock music lover then these earphones are not recommended because they lack a bit of thump, which one wants. Otherwise, for daily use, the bass, treble and vocal were above average and the device is loud enough. There is no touch support instead the earbuds come with physical buttons to access calls, volume and more.
The second most important department is the mic quality, AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones have a single mic. The audio quality is just fine in a quiet room environment, but when you are outdoors the environment noise will be the first to reach the listener. Though the earbuds are lightweight, the design is not super comfortable as we felt these are slipping out of the ears.
Conclusion
Coming to the final verdict, if you are looking for TWS earphones under Rs 2,000 then there are lots of options available in the market offering better sound quality. Note that AIWA is a Japanese brand that was much popular in India back in the 90s, but the company completely vanished from the market. Now the company has made a comeback with AIWA AT-X80E TWS earphones in India. The company claims that the earphones come with AAC, SBC support, but it only supports the latter one. Also, the device has micro-USB support instead of Type-C might be a deal-breaker for some. All in all, if you are on a budget you can look at them, if you can spend a little more there are better options from Oppo and Xiaomi.
Poker is one of the most famous games out there. And giving the pandemic, more and more people have indulged in online poker because they act like push-ups for brains. So if you want to indulge in something that requires your 100% concentration and strengthens your brain and nerve cells, then playing poker is the right option for you.
Poker is not just a game. It boosts mathematical skills and develops social skills as well. Poker is one such game that teaches patience and helps in logical thinking. If you have been dealing with anxiety issues or if lack of concentration is bothering you, then play poker. It is great for developing judgmental skills as well. The best part is that the online poker game version is as fun as the offline one.
You can even invite your friends and family members so that you can socialize without meeting them. If you have been keeping busy recently, then online poker helps you spend time with them. However, do you know that there are various poker playing styles? And each style suits different kinds of personalities? If no, then you have landed on the right blog because here, I will talk about poker playing personalities and much more. This is extremely important as it can help you gauge your opponent’s move, which helps you strategize your moves.
TAG: TAG stands for tight aggressive poker players. This stress-buster game can be played in various styles and the poker players going for this style are extremely selective when it comes to starting hands. They generally play 18 to 25% of the hands. In addition, they prefer to bet and raise rather than checking and calling.
LAG: LAG or loose aggression displayed in poker games is played by a section of players with similar personalities. These characteristics are seen in losing poker players, but they generally end up earning more than TAGs.
For this, you need to garner lots of skills. Lags use 23-30% of the hands, depending on the size of the game.
Rock: Rock is a tighter version of TAG. This is now commonly seen among online poker players. Rocks came into existence because of their resilience. They generally have solid decision-making power in terms of the amount they are spending.
Maniac: These poker players are known as the hyper-aggressive versions of LAGs. They are liberal over bets, and their aggression is quite typical. They tend to play more than 30% of the starting poker hands. However, the same depends on the size of the game.

Gaming Style
Poker is a game of observation, and thus, a poker player’s playing style is to observe their natural tendencies.
You also need to understand your opponent’s moves to win the games.
Defining poker playing styles: Poker playing styles can be segmented into the following parts: tight, loose, passive, and aggressive. Generally, tight poker players play a small number of the best hands. Loose poker players often play with a wide range of hands. On the other hand, a player with passive nature will avoid confrontation and play with the fear of losing the game. At the same time, an aggressive player will raise more than the call, which is their general tendency.
Aggressive players are not afraid to put chips at risk. If you observe your opponent’s move, you will easily categorize them and then strategize your entire game plan.
To understand that, you first have to know if they’re tight or loose. Then, after you know about the same, you have to understand if they are passive or aggressive.
Being a tight or loose player is beyond how someone plays their hand. It is just the selection of hands that they use in their game. They are either going to pick a tight range of hands or a loose range. You have to understand how they play those hands. Are they passive in their approach or aggressive?
Seems tricky?
Try to understand that not all players fit into neat groups. Many tricky players do not fall in any group. Instead, they can fall on a continuum that includes extremely tricky and straightforward. The key to finding out is to observe every step with 100% focus. Pick up the tendencies and then only make your decision. If you are successful, classify them to one of the groups.
What is the best poker playing style?
Now that you know it all, you might have one question in your mind – which style is the best for playing poker?
In this regard, you have to understand that poker is a game of aggression. It is certainly not a game for the weak, and this is the reason why you should be aggressive at every step.
The TAG style of playing is great as they win often and are profitable in online poker games. On the other hand, the other playing styles don’t have many winners.
It is best to be aggressive as it helps you strategize your game of tight and aggressive play. It has been seen that the players who show aggression are rewarded with a profit. However, there are exceptions. It all depends on your practice and skills. Choose the one that suits your personality and is the most profitable for you. This is why we always ask our readers to go for free games instead of jumping on the real ones initially.
And if you become a pro, you can even think of turning it into a profession. Read more on this article by Huffington Post.

The cloud-based instant messaging software and application service, Telegram, has got a significant update bringing new features to its platform. Last month the application rolled out group video calls along with more features through an update. In a new development, the company has increased its group call capacity to 1,000. However, the maximum number of participants will remain at 30 only. In addition to this, it will now also allow you to watch regular videos at 0.5 or 2x speed. Besides this, Telegram has also brought in screen sharing with sound to video calls and more.
Telegram announced the new update via a blog post which said, “This update takes video to the next level. Group video calls now have up to 1000 viewers, video messages record in higher quality and can be expanded, regular videos may be watched at 0.5 or 2x speed. We’ve also added screen sharing with sound to all video calls, including 1-on-1 calls — and much more.”
The group video calling feature will now allow 1,000 participants. So, it lets 30 users broadcast video from both their camera and screen – and now 1,000 people can watch anything from online lectures to live rap battles. Telegram promised to keep increasing this limit but as of now Group video calls now have up to a thousand viewers. To start a Group Video Call, create a Voice Chat from the info page (in the ⋮ menu on Android) of any group where you are an admin – then turn your video on.
Furthermore, Telegram now also allows the users to record video messages in higher resolution quality and can be tapped on for a larger view. Tapping on an expanded video message pauses it and gives you the opportunity to fast forward or rewind the message in case you missed a word. To do so tap the microphone icon in the message bar to switch from voice message recording to video. Press and hold to record, then tap the camera icon to switch back. The Audio from the device will keep on playing your recorded message so you can now sing along to your favourite songs or reply without pausing your podcast. In addition to this, recording with your rear camera will also allow you to pinch to zoom in and capture things at a distance or add a dramatic effect.
Adding more to this, the media player now supports 0.5x, 1.5x and 2x playback speeds. It allows you to press and hold the 2X button when playing voice or video messages to switch between 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x and 2x playback speed if you have an Android device. To change your video playback speed, tap ⋮ on Android or ⋯ on iOS when watching a video on fullscreen.
The user also gets the ability to simply press and hold on a timestamp (like 0:30 in the captions or replies to videos and YouTube links lets users jump to that exact second) in a message to copy the link and share the moment in another chat.
Also, the Telegram update brings the Screen sharing features to 1-on-1 calls as well. It lets you include sound from your device when broadcasting in any video call. According to the company switching on video during any call, you can swipe to choose a camera or share your screen instead — and use the video preview to make sure that everything is perfect before going live. To do so tap the camera button and select your screen as the video source.
Telegram has also rolled out new animations to make the passcode lock interfaces even snappier than before. If you’re using ananimated background, it will also appear on the passcode lock screen. A new prompt in Settings has been brought to help you practice entering your Two-Step Verification password. Even if you forget your password there is a new password reset option that works even if you don’t have a recovery email. This is said to take 7 days and can be cancelled from any of your devices.
Auto-Delete After 1 Month
The messages in any chat can now be set to erase themselves after 24 hours or 1 week or even after 1 month. This feature is similar to WhatsApp’s disappearing chat feature. To enable the timer on Android, tap ⋮ > Clear History then choose a duration. On iOS, press and hold a message, tap Select > Clear Chat (top-left) > Enable Auto-Delete.
