Android Updates
Invalid shortcode

The final beta version of Android 11 has been released by Google. If you wanted to install the beta on a Pixel 2 series through the Pixel 4 series model, now would be the time since the next update, which could drop on September 8th, will be the final version. Outside of some small bugs and last-minute changes made by developers, today’s release pretty much covers what you’ll see with the final build.

To install the Android 11 Public beta 3 update, go to developer.android.com/android11 and click on the “get the beta” box near the bottom of the page. You then need to click on the box titled “View your eligible devices.” Tap on opt-in and you’ll shortly receive notification of a software update. Download and install it to run Android 11 beta 3. Once you install the Android 11 beta on your phone, you must stick with it until September 8th, the rumored launch date of the final Android 11 version, unless you’re willing to do a factory reset.

Android 11 features a new notification system and the Bubbles feature which allows you to multitask while engaged in a text. If your phone already has the Android 11 beta installed, go to Settings > System > Advanced > System Update and press the blue button on the bottom right of the display.

Colourmix parent Veeko International warns of substantial lossColourmix parent and fashion retailer Veeko International has warned shareholders of a “significant increase” in its loss for the half year to September 30.   A year ago, the company finished the half HK$19 million in the red, but chairman Johnny Cheng did not estimate the degree of loss in his profit warning issued yesterday.   He said the loss was due to “decreased sales for both the cosmetics and fashion segments of the group as a result of the increasing tension of the Sino-American trade war and the further depreciation of Renminbi during the period, which resulted in the continued weakness of the retail environment and abatement in consumption sentiments”.  Notably, he did not refer to the social unrest which has adversely affected Hong Kong retailers since early June.    But Cheng did say another factor in the loss was a provision for onerous contracts of underperforming retail stores.  Veeko International will release its interim results before November 30.
