Thanks, auto-rotate is already off and I've tried holding vertically before aiming down but it didn't always work. Maybe it wasn't held straight up in portrait long enough so I'll retry for more than a few seconds next time. Anyway, definitely an issue so I sent feedback to Google.

Photos I take with the Camera app on my Google Pixel 7a, if facing toward the floor, are often automatically rotated to be horizontal. Is there a way to prevent this? The crosshair trick of keeping white above yellow doesn't always work, even when Framing Hints is on (both suggestions are...

Meant to mention this update: Only the vcf (but not csv) is missing info. The Contacts app on Android (Pixel) can only export a vcf, which based on my tests months ago, did not include custom fields/labels. The csv export option on the desktop site at contacts.google.com DOES include custom...

In the default Photos app for Android on Pixel 7a, QUICK EDIT keeps turning back on. I know this because when I select to share a photo, it periodically enters Quick Edit mode. This has happened at least five times so far, over the last several months. I reported the bug to Google. Anyone know...

Did send feedback. Thanks for checking.

Pinned clipboard items become unpinned when the content is re-copied. Common scenario as an example: say I have my phone number as a pinned item in the clipboard; I use the pinned phone number on a form, but realize I've pasted it into the wrong text field, so I cut the phone number from that...

My number was originally with AT&T but I transferred to Spectrum last year. Visual voicemail continued to work up until recently. Now, it shows new voicemails in the Voicemail tab, but they often appear late, sometimes even by several days. And a voicemail log there always says "click on...

Thanks for testing. Seems Samsung Contacts is only available for Samsung phones, but I could try another third-party app. Cheers. But ideally it would work in the main Android app so if anyone finds a workaround, please share. Thanks.

I attached a screenshot of an example note: when I hit Edit and place my cursor at "First line", the view jumps all the way to "Last line". The cursor itself is at First line but I have to scroll all the way back up from Last line. I've tried clearing cache and restarting the phone as per the...

I reported this annoying issue to Google a few times since last year, still no fix. This bug seemed to start happening when the contacts interface got an overhaul. In Google's default Contacts app, when I tap on the Notes area of a contact to edit the notes, the cursor appears where I tap, but...

Two big issues with "Export to file" in Android's default Contacts app: neither custom fields nor custom labels are included. I only discovered this after having already used both custom fields and labels extensively. Can anyone recommend an export app or method that includes everything...

No, when it happens, no contacts show up until I view a contact, after which that contact shows up if I search for them. So far it's only reoccurred once so hopefully that was it.

Hm, the issue returned already. Just a few hours later. Applied the same fix and it's working again. At least there's a quick fix. I wonder if there's some sort of cumulative thing going on that's causing these. A few months ago I disabled a bunch of background apps/tasks when I was on an...

That fixed it instantaneously, thanks! 7a
