Top Android news of the week: Factory reset failures, Note 5, phone calling on the watch
Factory reset on Android phones not always erasing owner info
Security experts determined that performing a factory reset on Android phones is not secure on many handsets. This affects owners of some phones who reset the device prior to selling it or trading it in for a new model.
The problem is that the reset doesn't erase the data partition on every phone, which is where the Google account information is stored. It can be retrieved and the account accessed.

Playing music over Bluetooth not as good on Android as on iOS
Audiophiles determined that music streamed over Android Bluetooth doesn't sound as good as on iOS. They said Android device makers simply need to tweak the Bluetooth drivers to make it as good.
It sounds like a very subtle difference so I'm guessing us non-audiophiles can't tell what the fuss is about.
