Prominent internet companies in India, such as Flipkart and MakeMyTrip, along with global giants Facebook, Microsoft and HERE have raised concerns over Google's manipulation of search results, alleging that the search engine was ranking its own properties as well as its ad partners above its rivals.
The LG G4 on AT&T is next up for a fix for the "Stagefright" exploit. An over-the-air update is now pushing out to the smartphone with "device security improvements" listed as the only change.
According to AT&T's support page, the update clocks in at 46.7MB large. After you snag the download and install the update, you should be on software version number H81010l and Android 5.1 build LMY47D. The update should be pushing out now, but it may take a day or two to show up for your device. If you'd like to check manually, you can do so from your phone's settings menu.
Thanks to Trutz for the tip!

Once again, we're putting two budget priced Android phones — the Moto G 2015 and the ASUS ZenFone 2 — against each other to see who comes out on top.
We have four major criteria a smartphone needs to get right before we can recommend them to anyone: Performance, Display quality, Battery Life and Camera. We chose these categories based on the results of a recent poll where we asked everyone what they thought was most important, and I think it's a great mix.
See how these two phones matchup, and which one gets crowned the winner.
Samsung just officially took the wraps off of its next smartwatch, the Gear S2, and while mum's the word on availability, a number of carriers have already stepped up to announce that they will carry the smartwatch.
T-Mobile will carry the 3G version of the Gear S2 later this fall, but no specific launch date was given. However, the carrier stated that buyers can add the smartwatch to their plan for $5 per month with unlimited talk and text, 500MB of data with no overages. Of course, the uncarrier also includes unlimited music streaming though Milk Music and other services as well.
AT&T has announced that it will carry the Gear S2 starting this fall, but pricing and a specific release date weren't mentioned.
Verizon is also on board for the Gear S2 launch, and will offer both the 3G and regular Gear S2 when it launches this fall.
Lastly, U.S. Cellular will also carry the Gear S2, but again, pricing remains a mystery.
So far, there has been no word from Sprint, but we would expect the carrier to make an announcement soon. Likewise, we'd expect the Gear S2 to be available from other retailers, like Best Buy, as well. We'll update this post in the future with exact pricing, availability, and launch date information as it becomes available.
Samsung has announced the Gear S2, and while this is just one watch, it's being offered in three distinct models. A standard Gear S2 will be the leading device, but there's also a "Gear S2 Classic" with a more standard watch design and also a Gear S2 3G with built-in connectivity.
After plenty of teasing and a brief mention at its Galaxy unpacked event earlier this month, Samsung has officially announced the Gear S2, its round Tizen-powered smartwatch. Though pricing and release details weren't mentioned, Samsung has revealed the the smartwatch will come in two variants: the regular Gear S2, and the Gear S2 Classic which is aimed at those who "prefer a more timeless watch design, offering an elegant Black finish with a matching genuine leather band."
The Gear S2 features a round, 1.2-inch circular display with a resolution of 260x360. Samsung says the watch is 11.4 millimeters thin and also packs a 1.0 GHz dual-core processor and a 300mAh battery, which the company says will support 2-3 days of battery life. Even better, the Gear S2 sports NFC inside for mobile payments, and Samsung says it is working with partners to expand the utility of the smartwatch in new ways, "including smart car keys, residential room keys, and remote controls to manage a connected home."
Samsung is also touting its work with third-party partners and developers, noting that a number of apps optimized for the Gear S2's round interface will be available at launch. Also on tap are partnerships that will yield a variety of third-part watch faces and watch bands, so you shouldn't have trouble finding options to match your style.
