Good, and please bear in mind that often my response is intentionally cutting a wider swath than your own issue, since others may not be aware of such things.

As to Ambient Display, I would caution you to not underestimate either Google's possible screw up, or a specific kernel setting not available in stock but available in a custom kernel, the combination of which could very well trigger the stock feature into causing unpredictable behaviour, such as call drops. I keep ambient display on, because I love it.

FWIW, I ran Liquid Smooth on my Sprint Note 3 last Fall, and the kernel tuner of choice for the rom maintainer for the device at that time (Ronald Ramsay) was Synapse...hated the app ui then and still have disdain for it...I never quite understood why some designers often seem believe that complexity and efficacy are intertwined...when the opposite is usually the case.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Ah, appreciate the info. I usually keep it on since Omni merged active display, but right now in Temasek its just stock AD - I turn it on in pulse mode normally.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
Well, please keep us apprised, because I think many would benefit from this info, especially if you receive more dropped calls or fewer.

There are more than a few people that are using Tasker. It's pretty easy to check in Settings to see what apps and services are using the most battery. There are a wealth of Profiles and Tasks available that utilize different strategies to save battery. Perhaps you should check out the Tasker forum here and the other Tasker resources online.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclisme:
That implies it's ROM related but I have a feeling that it isn't really. I wanted to see whether you can directly address the Android System drain before going as far as switching to another ROM.

My question was more focused than a general battery drain though. I know it's the Android System process and you can't easily mess with that to reduce battery usage as you'd do with a 3rd-party app, can you?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Difficult to say. There are other things .

It is also screen related. I mentioned the dark themes and dark layers.

My battery consuming today:

Screen 21%, Android system 2%, Android OS 2%.

Daydream switched off, brightness < 50%, no Bluetooth, Wifi permanent on.

From time to time I use Adv. Task Manager to kill apps I do not use.

I mentioned the lite stock rom of Danvdh because I used to flash Franco's kernel for better battery life. Since the June update I've used the stock kernel 3.10.40.

That's it for me; no others ideas to help.

Is there any way to set custom Screen Off (sleep) times instead of the built-in ones? 30 seconds is too short, whereas 1 min is too long :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricpete1:
Tasker will let you set screen timeout to the second. (You could set 43 seconds if you want)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
The standard values are comfortable and also practical for me.

I am curious why you want different values?

The only reason I can think off is the battery life.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phr0zen:
Battery life really isn't an issue for me. 30 seconds seems too short of a time frame sometimes. When setting it to 1 minute, I find that I usually have to turn the screen off when not in use. I realize this is very minor! But also wondered if there was a file that could be edited to, let's say 45 seconds. I probably didn't answer your question very well :silly:. Personal preference really.

build number

hi, i'm basically a noob to root. apologies if i'm posting in the wrong place. i bought a replacement Nexus 6 on eBay months ago. it looked like it was factory reset but after getting it pretty well setup, i realized the previous owner had rooted it. i had been curious about root so i left it.

now i want to download the ota security update and install it with FlashFire. however when i look for the matching build number, MHC19Q, i find it's a Nexus 6P build. now idk what to do and obviously want to avoid bricking my device. any advice appreciated.

You can not turn the device completely off ?

Press the Power button until you see "Power Off"

Backup your data to a computer and reflash a Marshmallow factory image (or at least the system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img) to remove any modifications you may have made to the device. When finished do not install TWRP. Then enroll in the beta program and the OTA should succeed this time.

OTA with Stock Rooted

Hi there. I was wondering if its safe to manually flash the recent security update considering I'm stock rooted with Xposed on the most recent update prior to this security update?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yep_nexus:
really screwed it up

d**m it, wish i came back to this thread after reading the initial reply. i left it as it was with the 6P image, which always worked fine. now i've really done it. i installed the N6 Nougat image ZIP using FlashFire and have done what i didn't want to do the whole time. nothing works, including most of my needed apps including my keyboard app! i can't download anything from the play store. i also lost root.

i did a TWRP backup before doing this. can i restore from that and at least get back to where i was? i didn't want to have to start connecting my phone to the computer, but am in the process of downloading the SDK manager on my work PC, figuring i'll need ADB to fix this mess. phone's waiting in recovery mode...

Hi everyone, I'm kinda new here :) I have a Nexus 6 and yesterday I unlocked the bootloader to install the TWRP recovery (in attempt to install the no-throttling mod) and then the ElementalX kernel hoping to have better battery life..But then the worst bug (maybe? who knows?) of all came out for the first time on my device : the speakers now make a cracking and buzzing white noise whenever there are applications running and audio is reproduced (appears to happen more when the audio level is at 0 so you only hear the cracks and buzzes, it seems that the spearkers stay on altough audio volume level is at 0). I didn't found any solution about this but I really think it is a software problem since it only came out yesterday after more than a year of usage so I finally wanted to try installing the Nougat update. I'm on stock Marshmellow build MOB31H.

So I was wondering :

1 - What should I do to install Nougat if I have the TWRP custom recovery and ElementalX custom Kernel?

2 - What about the mod i was talking about? (editing of the thermal-engine-shamu.conf file) Would it be replaced when installing Nougat?

3 - About ElementalX if I haven't to revert back to stock kernel (in case where can I find it?) when should I update it to the Nougat version? And in case how?

Thank you in advance for your help :)

here is my concern:

I bought new nexus 6 yesterday and it was running Android 7.0 stock with October 5th security patch. then today I decided to flash pure nexus rom. I first flashed aug 22 build 6.0.1 , then I saw that the 7.0 pure nexus build is out and I went to twrp and flashed it.

while flashing, I got 2 error: unknown commands but the installation was successful and I'm running the latest build with some flaws(I'll tell later).

now, I've seen people telling that they've had flashed radio and bootloader prior to flashing the latest build but I didn't do anything as such. is this the reason why I got those 2 errors?

now, coming to ROM, the documents along with few other stuff keeps on crashing. am I the only one who's having this issue?

Is there something i can do to bring back my phone to the ABOSLUTE stock form?

probably not. Even i have faced issues similar to you. But i factory reset the device, and repeated the process again and it was fine. If you are not happy with the rom, download the stock rom from google's webpage and extrat it into android-sdk-windows/platform-tools and run windows,bat file, remember itll erase everything. all at your own risk.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If flashing a stock image from Google, for best performance you should update the bootloader, radio and kernel at the same time using fastboot commands. Otherwise, sideload an OTA through the stock recovery and all items get updated at the same time. Regardless, you will lose root and will have to flash it again afterward.

Hi

Lets start from the begin

When my Nexus 6 phone was rooted I was in custom ROM and on sudden USB Pan Drive stopped supporting and then I went to the Service station where they installed Nexus 6's Stock ROM,

Still not able to access the OTG Pan Drive on my phone.

My Question is : If the USB port is bad then can we install (Flash) through PC with the help of fastboot mode.

I was in question how they (service station) can be able to installed if the OTG was Bad.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You are confusing 2 different things. The OTG portion and the usb port. OTG could not work but flashing does. Did you try a new flash drive? My last one died and it turned out to be the crappy drive I was using. I also had to clean out the USB port as lint got in there and prevented a solid connection. Not like the flash drives completely fit anyway but it fit well enough.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
In the other thread, I think you said you had tried several PCs, is that right? Did that mean that you tried using adb, fastboot or just a file transfer? If so, did any of those work?

The previous poster made a good point. OTG is a protocol through the USB port. I really would like confidence that the USB port work for more than just charging.

In short, yes, using fastboot is most likely how the service person restored to a stock ROM. I think you have said that OTG stopped working on a custom ROM, then the service shop put a stock ROM on but OTG still doesn't work.

Once we know the USB port works, then trying something like Chainfire's OTG solution will help figure out what else is happening.

True to a point. T-mobile is only providing security patches to 6.1 (I got the December one, don't know about January yet), so until T-mobile releases a 7 OTA, you won't get anything OTA (unless you change your SIM, removing the SIM is not enough). For the very first time I am glad T-mobile is slow. The 7.1 issue with speaker phone would be a major problem for me, so I am willing to let others test the new code.
