AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Google confirms Android bug is preventing users from calling emergency services

Earlier this month, some Google Pixel users reported having issues while calling emergency services in the US. Owing to the nature of the complaint, Pixel Team quickly investigated the matter and now we know exactly what happened: Microsoft Teams.

Google, via a post in the Google Pixel subreddit, has confirmed that an emergency calling bug is affecting Android smartphones under a ‘limited set of circumstances’. This bug is preventing users from calling emergency services and it is being caused by “unintended interaction between Microsoft Teams app and underlying Android operating system.”

The company also said that it was able to “reproduce the issue under a limited set of circumstances.” Upon investigation, it determined that only a small number of devices were affected by this bug and that it was aware of only one such user report.

Specifically, users might face an issue if they have Microsoft Teams installed on their smartphones but not logged in. Both Google and Microsoft are working on resolving the issue and a patch is expected to arrive on the Microsoft Teams app and the Android OS soon. “We will also be providing an Android platform update to the Android ecosystem on January 4,” Google wrote in the post.

Google suggests temporary fix

In the meantime, Google has suggested a temporary fix for this bug. The company says that Android users running Android 10 or later with Microsoft Teams app installed but not signed in should uninstall and reinstall the app. “While this will address the problem in the interim, a Microsoft Teams app update is still required to fully resolve the issue,” the company cautioned.
“We advise users to keep an eye out for an update to the Microsoft Teams app, and ensure it is applied as soon as available. We will update this post once the new version of Microsoft Teams is available to 100% of users,” Google added.

Meanwhile, if you are an Android user running an older version of Google’s Android OS (older than Android 10), you are not impacted by this bug. Also, Microsoft Teams app users who have signed in the app are also not impacted by this bug.
