Apps Compass app with USB OTG connectivity

I need to obtain the compass heading for a hardware project. I thought it would be simple to obtain compass heading from an Android phone via the USB OTG port or via Bluetooth,

Is there an Android compass app or any other app that can transfer compass direction via USB OTG using serial protocol, say at 100 readings per second? Or maybe the same data via Bluetooth serial?

Is there a compass app builder who would like to add this feature to their compass app?

Thanks in advance.

WifiTools - legit or not?

Sorted. It kept failing to start programs (inside Boinc distributed computing), looking like a shortage of RAM. While connected via USB to a real computer as it's the only way I can get files onto it to install stuff and I was going to try a new firewall, I noticed some very peculiarly named folders like .hgksuhgurv all over it, all beginning with a fullstop. These are not visible in the phone's file manager. So I deleted them all. Stuff in the android folder with the same silly names too. When rebooting it, something popped up like it was trying to do something but everything was placeholders. Looks like I thwarted it. Ahh, now google play works, which promptly deleted wifitools as it's unsafe. And no more 20 browser windows opening displaying Tarot games and so forth.

Ok, so it's Dutch. I mostly only read English and Chinese, and I'm learning German. :)

But what exactly is this about in your screenshots? Which is something I've never seen before on any device. Is it from some app that your provider uses?

Although it looks like that could be a Kraftwerk or Gary Numan album cover from the '80s. :D

All data accidentally deleted on MOTO E

Thanks to both @Dannydet and @mikedt for their kind responses.

Before my OP, I had found the following site:

https://www.bankbazaar.com/smart-gadget/how-to-recover-deleted-files-on-android-phone.html

Based on the encouraging info from BankBazaar, I then asked the "open" question on this highly-respected forum:

- "Is there any way to retrieve that data?"

The responses made me suspect that BankBazaar might be pushing scams.

I found this link:

https://geekflare.com/android-data-recovery/

I then searched for reviews of the original link above for "bankbazaar". I found this:

https://www.mouthshut.com/websites/...Bazaar website is a,as it is quite insightful.

The reviews were poor. Admittedly they related to credit cards. But clearly any recommendation by BankBazaar should be avoided.

Thanks.

What Is Going On At AT&T?

This is one of multiple reasons that I am glad I carry.

Although I was worried, it wasn't about myself.

The manager was pretty rude about the whole thing, lol.

I bet he gets in trouble over it, I guess he was the person that closed the night before.

But yeah, no way was I going to leave the place unattended like that.

When the store was downtown, it was robbed at least once a year of devices and/or cash, and it was moved to the furthest outskirts of town.

If something happened to make it close altogether I would be screwed.
I don't even know where I would go to another AT&T store, I think the next one is about 30 miles away.

Why does my eBay app notification only sound when I open it? It's pointless as it used to sound perf

Why does my eBay app notification only sound when I open it?
It's pointless as it used to sound perfectly on all my other phones. Do you use the eBay app and du you get notifications even when the so is closed?
what phone do you have? try clearing cache and data for the app. or maybe try uninstalling and re-installing the app.
