Pixel 3a warping?

Hello all, has anyone else noticed if their Pixel 3a is warping? When laid screen side down it is not flat and rocking back and forth from corner to corner. You can hold it up and tell it is twisted and not right. I have never before had a phone do this. I returned the first one for the same issue. Thanks

Help Android 9 Pie - media scanner not automatically scanning SD Card

I have a 256Gb SD card installed on a Cubot X19 phone. The SD Card is formatted as exFAT, NOT internal storage. I've copied a large quantity of MP3 files into directories within /music/ on this card. With Android v8.1 whenever I copied a new directory, the media scanner would kick in immediately, read the MP3 tags, and the files would appear in the system media library. They were then available to be played in media players such as Google Play Music.

Since upgrading to V9.0 Pie, the media scanner doesn't kick in for these files. If I manually fire up a media scanner app such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.house.noranuko.mediarescanner the tracks then appear ok.

If I copy the files into the internal storage /music/ folder they are immediately visible.

So it looks as though the media scanner only automatically scans incoming files copied over the USB port if they are placed in internal storage and not on the SD Card.

Has anyone else seen this? And is there any way of persuading the media scanner/storage app to automatically scan incoming files on the SD Card the way it used to with v8.1?

blacklist with Textra

I have Textra on my new Pixel 3a. I am receiving many unwanted texts from a certain company. One woke me up at 3am. I found one suggestion to long hold on the text, and three vertical dots will appear in the top right corner, then select "Blacklist". I get the three dots, but no blacklist choice. Any suggestions?

Simultaneous camera use

Firstly, I'm not an Android dev.

I know my phone has dual cameras 1 color, 1 B+W and the 'pupilary' distance is about 9.5mm
I'd like to know if it's possible on the hardware layer to build an app that would snap a photo with both cameras simultaneously or to record binocular video for use as a 3D scanner, VR content development, or at the very least photogrammetry.

Download custom emojis from the internet?

I want to download a bunch of not safe for work emojis for my Android phone for laughs. I searched the internet for guides on adding custom emojis and the only method I found was downloading different Android keyboards but all the keyboards seem to have regular safe for work emojis. I have 2 questions...

Is there an Android keyboard out there with dirty "not safe for work" emojis?

Is there any way I can download funny emojis I find on the internet and add them to either my gboard or any other custom Android keyboard?

Undo reset app preferences

Hey there. I was having an issue with my launcher app, go launcher, and I read online, that resetting app preferences may fix the problem. I have a Samsung galaxy s9. Well I reset app preferences, and now I'm having a different problem! Whenever I try to apply a theme, not only does it not apply, but the wallpaper is just a blank screen! Also, every time I restart my phone, the wallpaper that I EVENTUALLY set, goes away again! And the icon theme goes back to original, factory theme!! SOOO aggravating!! How do i fix this?? Please help!!!

Apps source code for displaying BT connected heart-rate monitoring device

Hi all,

I'd like to connect several bluetooth Heart Rate monitoring devices to an App that displays all current HR data in realtime for continuous monitoring (just the bpm data).

The App should connect to at least four bluetooth HR devices (or whatever the BT limit of the device is).
Data wise I just want to display the bpm (beats per minute) from the devices all on one screen.

Is this something possible?

Has anyone got any source code or know if this is possible as I can't get any official Apps that support this (Garmin, Polar...etc).

Thanks In Advance

Part of me wants to get a identical used phone but i feel that it might be time to move on and thats why i'm making this thread.
I've not been keeping track of the phone market for years and therefore have no clue what to brands are good etc.

This is what i'm looking for in a phone:
Price around 400$

Good Batterylife
Not to big screen (the s4 fit my hand perfectly) Around 140x70mm
Dont care about camera quality.
Removable battery is a plus but not needed.
Android

Ability to root and flash custom roms with a good dev comunity. (not shure if every android phone has this)
Edit:Headphone jack
MicroSD is a plus but not must

I'm in europe if it's to any help

Thx in advance

How to find out if sim card is defective

Due to some personal reasons, I was unable to use my phone for a couple of days, during which it had completely drained. After booting my phone back up, I noticed that I wasn't getting cellular service, at first I thought that my phone was broken, but I learned that this wasn't the case after inserting my sim in another phone.

How can I confirm if my sim is actually defective, any tests perhaps. And if it is broken, is it possible to recover my sim card

Unknown Notifcation on Phone

Hi everyone. I have a question about a notification on my phone. I've attached a picture of it and circled the icon. This same icon showed up on my phone about 2 weeks ago and whenever I look through my notifications to see what it is, it doesnt show up. I'm worried that it may be some kind of spy app or something...does anybody know what it is? Thanks so much.
