T-Life Not Working? This Might Be Why

The T-Life app, promoted as a comprehensive solution, is facing significant issues, particularly crashing upon launch for T-Mobile users who have updated their Pixel devices to the Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1. This problem is widespread among users of Pixel 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 devices, with reports indicating that the app briefly shows a splash screen before force closing. The crashing issue is not limited to the T-Life app, as several banking applications and other apps are also experiencing similar problems. Users are advised to log into their T-Mobile accounts via a web browser as a workaround, and if they consider rolling back the beta, it will erase all data on their phone. Issues like these are typically resolved through updates from the app developer or subsequent patches from Google.

Monster Hunter Wilds lowers its minimum PC specs, releases benchmarking too

Capcom has revised the recommended specifications for Monster Hunter Wilds to improve PC optimization based on beta feedback. The minimum CPU requirement is now an Intel Core i5-10400, Intel Core i3-12100, or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, down from an Intel Core i5-10600 or Intel Core i3-12100F. The minimum GPU requirement has been adjusted to Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, and the storage requirement has been reduced from 140 GB to 75 GB. A benchmarking tool is available on the game's Steam page, allowing players to assess system compatibility and performance. Scores above 20,000 indicate a smooth experience at high settings, while scores below 7,000 may require significant settings changes. Testing with high-end hardware yielded an average frame rate of 85 FPS at 1440p with Ultra presets, while mid-range hardware achieved an average of 45 FPS at 1080p with Medium presets. Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 28, 2025.

As Monster Hunter Wilds PC players fight horrible polygons and struggle to hit 60 FPS, Capcom says the game is “already in a more improved state compared to the beta”

The Monster Hunter Wilds beta is currently available on all platforms, but some PC players are experiencing performance issues, including graphical glitches and framerate struggles. These issues are attributed to bugs rather than fundamental performance problems, and Capcom has provided troubleshooting options for players. Recommendations include adding the game to anti-virus exceptions, granting administrative privileges, updating drivers, and verifying the game's Steam cache. Specific advice for stability issues includes deleting shader cache files and enabling 'GPU scheduling.' Players using NVIDIA DLSS should be cautious with changing the Upscaling Mode to avoid increased VRAM usage. Reports indicate that achieving or maintaining 60 FPS at 1080p or 1440p is challenging for users with outdated hardware, while stable performance is noted among those with RTX 3080 or 4070 GPUs. The game relies heavily on frame generation and upscaling, and CPU performance may also impact gameplay. Historical context shows that previous Monster Hunter titles faced similar performance challenges at launch but improved over time. A second beta test is expected in December or January, and players are encouraged to provide feedback and adjust graphics settings.

How to hide apps on Google Pixel phones with Private Space

Google Pixel users will have access to a new feature called Private Space with the release of Android 15, allowing them to create a hidden app ecosystem, including a separate instance of the Google Play Store. To enable Private Space, users must navigate to Settings, select Security & Privacy, tap on Private Space, input their PIN, and set it up. Users can create a new Google account for this space to keep downloaded apps and data separate from their primary account. Accessing Private Space involves swiping up from the home screen, tapping on the lock icon, and entering the PIN. For older Pixel models, apps can be concealed using a third-party launcher like Nova Launcher, which allows users to hide apps after setting it as the default launcher. Additionally, users can disable system apps through the Settings menu, but this method is limited to system apps and may affect other operations.
