I think it didn’t work out well for Samsung… so i guess, not a big market? Phones are already super thin… why not make a (slightly) thicker one and put a massive battery, better cooling system, headphone jack and whatnot in it?
That must be Xiaomi’s fault… Android does not do such thing. Check the running processes in Developer Settings to see what’s running that could cause this. After located, disable/uninstall them, with ADB if needed.
Live wallpapers are often a form of ads. Like Motorola have Live Lockscreen, made and owned by Taboola… This is why you should skip bloated Android devices, unless you use a custom rom or don’t mind the extreme debloating.
