Android Central app discontinued? It hasn't updated in at least 12 days. Are you guys working on a new version, at least, or abandoning it?

the latest security update seemed to fix the issue. thanks!

I want a fix that doesn't involve all that. I backup everything I need, but I don't wanna mess with bootloaders. Bugs shouldn't have to be fixed in that manner. Is there a Google recommended fix for this, other than a factory reset?

Anyone having a problem where their 3a gets stuck during a reboot (either from the Restart or from a cold boot after powering down)? I get the G and a status bar below it. I've let it attempt to reboot for over 10 minutes and it just keeps showing the moving status bar. Happens EVERY time, and...

Submitted feedback to Google tonight, but based on the other complaints online, I'm not too hopeful on this being resolved (Google search "Pixel 3a pocket dial").

I was just about to post something similar.. At first I thought my phone was unlocked full-time due to Smart Lock being enabled (connected to my Fitbit Versa), so I disabled Smart Lock. Today, my brother called me twice, and each time my phone answered while it was in my pocket. Annoying...

Hello, The last two phones I've had, a Nexus 6P and a Moto Z Play Droid, have not given me the option to restore from.. here's the exact scenario: I had the Nexus 6P for awhile but gave up after a few specific app problems, so I bought a Moto Z Play Droid.. made sure my 6P was set to backup...

Hopefully I'm in the right area to post this.. Ever since installing the Mi Fit software on my phone, I think the syncing it does with my AmazFit is killing my Moto Z Play battery.. example.. charged my phone to 100 percent at 7am.. by 9am with almost no usage, I looked and my phone was down to...

my Z Play FPS works fine.. if it isn't, it's because my dirty fingers smudged it.. wiping it dry and trying again seems to fix it every time.

How do you think in joking? When I first got this phone I was still at 75% at 5pm-ish.. Now it's at 50% or less by 5pm.. Don't know if it's the apps or the battery losing its capacity that's causing this, and wondering if anyone else has noticed battery issues yet.

In the future I recommend using Verizon Messages.. Automatically backs up to the cloud. It's also lets you send scheduled texts as well as choosing between group texts or bulk texts (individually, to a bunch of people).

I'll never use a phone naked unless it's a rugged style phone.. I drop mine way too often.. Not on cement, but just floors.. Still, if I wanna resell it, I at least want it to be as ding-free as possible.

For a phone with such a nice big battery, I expected more.. I'm still down to 50% by 5pm, with moderate use. It was better when I first bought the phone.. Think it's already time for a new battery?

Followup: The problem goes away when I turn off 4G LTE calling. For now, I'll keep that turned off.

Ugh, not sure if this is related, but I just got a 6P off Ebay, and before I had a chance to go to Verizon and get a nano sim for it, i booted it, and it updated to 7.1.1. Everything runs great with the exception of certain phone call situations, and maybe it's unrelated: If I make a call, and...
