OnePlus has always harped about how it’s a community-centric brand. It maintains an active forum where fans and enthusiasts come together with the company’s developers and programmers and even senior executives to discuss, debate and talk about devices made by OnePlus. Now, OnePlus is upping the ante on engaging with its fans with the OxygenOS Product Manager Challenge. The initiative is simple — You design an idea for OnePlus to implement in OxygenOS, and the best one will be chosen and find its way in to the next OnePlus device. As a user, many must have had an idea or two they wished OnePlus would bring to its smartphones. The Product Manager challenge is the opportunity to get it implemented. The idea has to be logically sound and the challenge requires the participant to prove why the idea is viable. The company has also created a simplified of the product pitch that its own product managers use every day. Your idea must answer the following: 1. Who are the users? 2. What is the proposed function? 3. What is the user value? 4. If there are existing comparable functions in the smartphone industry, how is your proposed feature superior? Furthermore, you are also expected to explain the logic behind how the idea will eventually integrate into the system and work. Participants are expected to support their ideas with direction details and sketches. The pitch should be in accordance with OnePlus’ design principles, detailed here in this post. One needs to draw each screen and show the flow from one screen to the other. The winners of the challenge will get flown out to their nearest OnePlus VIP launch event and receive a free device that will have the feature they helped build. The challenge is open from February 4th to February 22nd. The winners will be chosen by mid-March and the design will be implemented in the upcoming OnePlus device. You can submit your ideas in the tech section of the OnePlus forums with the hashtag #PMChallenge in the title. There is already a steady flow of ideas in the forums. Participants have pitched for features like enterprise mobile security for OnePlus phones, AMOLED LED notification around camera, Gcam API support and more. It’s certainly an engaging way to take feedback from the community the OnePlus phones serve. The company’s UI, OxygenOS is developed in-house with the look and feel of stock Android but with meaningful additions and tweaks. By opening up to what users want, the UI is only going to get better.
Highlights: Apple could reward 14-year-old who discovered the Group FaceTime bug The bug allows callers to eavesdrop on other FaceTime users Group FaceTime has been disabled and a fix to re-enable it will roll out only next week Apple has apparently done quite a bit of firefighting in the last couple of weeks after a fourteen-year-old user from Tucson, Arizona reported a major flaw in Apple’s FaceTime app. The bug in question, for which a fix will be available only next week, allowed callers using Group FaceTime to eavesdrop on other FaceTime users when their call wasn’t answered. Since then, Apple has disabled Group FaceTime, publicly apologised to its users, and has been sued by the user’s mother. According a new report by CNBC, an Apple executive flew in to meet with the user and take feedback. The young user could receive a reward for his discovery. According to CNBC’s report, the executive (who wasn’t named) flew in to Tucson to meet with the fourteen-year-old bug reporter, Grant Thompson and his mother, Michele Thompson and “thanked [them] in person and also asked for [their] feedback, asked [them] how they could improve their reporting process.” Michele Thompson went on to say, “They also indicated that Grant would be eligible for the bug bounty program. And we would hear from their security team the following week in terms of what that meant.” As far as offering the young bug reporter a reward goes, Apple is clearly making an exception in this case because its “bug bounty” programme, according to 9to5Mac, generally works on an invite-only basis and is limited to specific categories of security flaws. For example, demonstrating an iCloud account attack or showing how iPhone apps are getting around the security architecture of iOS could merit a bounty but reporting minor bugs does not. Grant Thompson, on the other hand, will reportedly continue to use Apple products despite the Group FaceTime debacle because he believes Apple is still committed to protecting users’ privacy. Apple introduced Group FaceTime in eligible iPhones, iPads, and iPods as part of iOS 12.1 back in October 2018. According to Apple, the feature allows a maximum of 32 users to participate in a group video call. Additionally, it can detect the current speaker in the call and highlight their feed. iOS 12.1 brought other features with it like ringless notifications, Group FaceTime integration in the Messages app, and a pack of seventy new emojis.
