[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
I had asked this over in the General forum (in the thread for the N preview), but realized (too late) that the general forum is not for that - so, asking here.

I'm on the current build for M - stock/rooted (stock recovery too). Unlocked Bootloader. Works well. I'm comfortable with fastboot commands, and have used that to flash images for each of the monthlies, without overwriting userdata.

Now that N is preview 3 is out, which is supposedly close to Beta quality, I'm thinking of trying that out.

1. Any issues with getting adaway to work? I use the apk on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64834262#post64834262 to get around the issue with system partition being full. Does that work with N preview 3 as well?

2. If I want to revert back to M, can I just download the latest M image and flash all img files (except userdata), and be back to how my phone is currently? And will un-enrolling from the beta program cause a wipe if I flash M before that?

I do have my stuff backed up, but my N6 is my daily driver, so setting everything back up as it is today, while doable, is not something I want to do. I guess I could just take a nandroid backup and restore that as a worst case option.

Control Of MY phone!

I just need you to insert a <#@$&(%$^@> after every third word and you will get quite the accurate sense of how I feel. I won't interject that after every third word here for the sake of efficiency and protecting the eyes and ears of the innocently initiated.

I have had ENOUGH of Goo-goo-poo-poo. They are ticking me off! That's why I'm here now because now I am FORCED to root my phone...I think. The other day I just happened to look at my phone and it was DOWNLOADING something without my consent. I checked and it was an update for Goo-goo Plaeye Serve-isses. I checked my "Plaeye" settings and I had it set to NO AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS, but it STILL downloaded. Maybe you guys have unlimited data in your homes, but I do not. Today...I just happened to look at my phone and it DOWNLOADED a system update that I DID NOT DOWNLOAD!!! I don't know who the heck is literally CONTROLLING MY PHONE, but it's going to STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now instead of more venting, I'll just ask a simple question. If I root my phone will I be ABLE TO CONTROL IT and keep GOO-GOO from controlling it? I REALLY have a LIFE and don't have time to root my phone, but I'm going to MAKE time IF I can actually CONTROL <<<MY>>> PHONE after I root it!

So...the question....one more time.....will I be able to control <<<MY>>> phone if I root it and have the ability to STOP GOO-GOO from performing AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS on my phone? Otherwise, if I can't stop automatic downloads then there will be no reason for me to root my phone, I'll just let the world control the phone that <<<I>>> am paying the bill for every month.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, you will be able to control your phone 100%(if you know how to do it). BUT.. being able to do this will bring you problems that you will be able to solve yourself. if you are good at solving issues with your device, have at it. if you dont have the knack, then good luck to you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recoome777:
Well, I never rooted a phone, but I was going to root my old phone a Samsung Galaxy S4. I downloaded everything I needed to root, but it would not, it was locked up too tight. The "experts" couldn't even do it at Kingroot and refunded my money. That's why I bought this Nexus 6 because people on this site told me that Goo-Goo makes the Nexus 6 to BE rootable so there should be no problems. I'm not risk averse and am ready to dig deep into this phone. I have a throw-away phone in case I brick this one and it takes some time to unbrick. I'll make sure I have instructions on how to root AND fix a bricked phone in print next to me as I'm rooting.

I'll just have to take the time to learn to root AND control my phone like you guys do on here. At least YOU have got control of YOUR phone and that's what I'm planning on doing. I'm just going to have to put the time in. Frankly I think you had BETTER understand and control your own phone otherwise other people will. I don't mind spending time on this site reading and learning.

For general root knowledge, you can just do a google search for "how to root nexus 6 xda". You'll get a TON of information that way. If you have a windows computer, easiest way is to do a search for "15 second adb/fastboot installer XDA" and download and run that. That will allow you to use adb/fastboot systemwide. That means when you connect your phone to your PC, you PC can then issue commands to your phone. You'll need that to root. Then do a search for "nexus root toolkit" and download and install that. Connect your phone to your PC, open the nexus toolkit program and go from there. On the page when you download the nexus toolkit, there's a good guide on what all the different toolkit functions do.

Need help with Download manager !

Hi!

I have strange problem with download manager. It was happened after last update of built-in Download manager (Downloads app) via Google Play or it just happened when I "play" with services via Disable Services app (but I didn't touch 2 services of Download manager).

Before the problem, I seen my downloads in notification bar, and when I touched it, I can install if this was apk, or open if it was picture. After that this notification was disappear forever.

Now when I touch it, it just disappear for a while and not open and what a worst thing - it some back after I download something else, or service just check something. I have 6 download notifications come back from yesterday and every time when i download something I have one more.

My Nexus 6 rooted, with 2 mods - Light Flow and Double tap, build MMB29V.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

P.S. Disable built-in Downloads app and use another - is not solution :). But in worst case I will did it, because didn't want to "format" my phone now, waiting for some "major" update like 6.1 or N...

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7Trex:
1. Force stop, Clear cache - not help (I did it at first, before posting here and I was sure, that is solution :( )

2. Advanced task killer - not help

But if I open Downloads app and delete app from there - its help. But its not solution, because i didn't want to delete downloaded apps. So now I copy them to another place and after that delete form DM.

I am still not ready for different ROM, because will need to install all my data and apps again and i not have time for this now. Like I said I will wait for major update, like 6.1 or N.

So the question still open, why it's happened and how to fix it ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I am Sorry for you, but I've no other idea. Beside flashing a lite stock rom.

(Use that on my N6 this moment, without issues)

Waiting for update to N is ok. Success!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7Trex:
Yes, I checked it before. I know, it's possible to "Block all", but as I will not see if it downloaded properly, or cancelled in the middle, also will need to use file manager to find it in download folder.

As for now "Block all" and "Treat as priority" disabled and " Allow peeking" - enabled.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManagementCritic:
I am trying to determine a few things about my T-mobile Nexus 6 and m6.0.1 - is there USB/OTG support and if so, to what extent? For instance, can I use a USB/OTG to LAN adapter to get internet in Airplane mode? Will OTG support Key/Mouse/Game input on this device? I'd like to know before I make any more purchases.

I would also like to know where to find such information so I don't have to bug you guys with silly $h;t like this in the future. I would really appreciate your help. I ran out of search terms a long time ago and am still in the dark. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
why would you want to get internet that way?

AFAIK, the otg adapter will work for connecting file management tools, like when you want to flash something from it in recovery, or transfer files to and from it, but I dont know about functional mouse input..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManagementCritic:
Wase, thanks for jumping in. I appreciate your input.

My home network is wired. There is no WiFi and that is just fine with me. There are times of intense electromagnetic interference that affects cell signal among many other things. Considering the neighborhood, it could be just about anything and probably is. Hence the need for an OTG to LAN solution. I found this from Amazon: UNITEK Charge and Sync OTG Dock Station with 3-Port Hub+RJ45 Fast Ethernet Adapter, with Smart Stand for Android / Windows Phone TabletUNITEK Charge and Sync OTG Dock Station with 3-Port Hub+RJ45 Fast Ethernet Adapter, with Smart Stand for Android / Windows Phone Tablet

I was wondering where I can find specs for Nexus 6 running stock Android M6.0.1, especially to the extent it supports USB/OTG. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
if you have intense EMI, I would get the hell out of that area, since there are major health risks..

since OTG is sort of "obscure" technology, I doubt you will find anything even close to detailed info about the specs on a NEXUS 6; you could email google and ask them if they can help. They actually do respond when you do that.

As far as that gizmo on Amazon, never saw anything like it, but, since Amazon lets you return anything, it might be worth trying..

Possibly a dumb question but I searched and didn't find a definitive answer and everything I found was old. Just picked up a Nexus 6P through Google Fi. I love the lack of carrier bloat of base Android but it's a little too base for me. Which ROMs, if any, are compatible with Google Fi?

General question about battery life..

My son (high school teenager..) has a Galaxy S5 that all he does is play games, music, and, text friends.. (he got used from a friend.. Had a slight crack when he got it.. It's Vzw and we're running it on AT&T..)

Obviously depending on game play determines what he gets out of the device on a daily basis..

Understanding Roms, kernels, io, hotplugging, etc all impacts everything else..

How does a stock Nexus device do in relation to a stock Galaxy TouchWiz device?

I'm thinking about investing in a Nexus device for him and letting him tweak it and such..

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you do realize that there's more to battery than which games he plays? right? like screen size/resolution, screen brightness, and more. plus the actual battery size for that device..

anyways..

i find that i do nothing thats battery saving for my device(n6), except lower my brightness, and i always get a minimum of 5h screen on time. that said, i dont play many games.

Hello guys,

1.5 years in ownership, a great phone overall and I thought I'd stick with it for years but since a couple of months (at least then I started noticing it) I get terrible battery drain from Android system. It is higher than Screen usage or any other process so it's definitely a bug. My usage got me through 2 days easily before MM, now I barely make more than one. I'm on 6.0.1 custom rom (Chroma) but a quick search shows the same issue appears regardless of rom. I am almost considering a replacement as I don't have much time to test different roms any more. (Chroma has been working ok for my like).

How is everybody getting round this issue on their N6? Is the problem still there on stock N6? Any suggestions that will make the AS drain go away welcome.

You're right, absolutely right, but as I've noted on many occasions, a partially functioning, beautifully themed app trumps a disgustingly themed, fully functional app, always.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Ah, I am very glad I clarified before flashing stock. It doesn't sound like this could help me then, because as I mentioned in that huge wall of text that I can completely understand how you may have missed part of, I was on Benzo ROM when the issue started. I clean flashed to eliminate any issues I might have had, now I am on Temasek's CM12.1.. two ROMs that are totally unrelated, one issue. I appreciate the quick answer - didn't even like entertaining the thought of having to flash stock.. I'm not exaggerating when I say I almost snapped my N6 in two just trying to navigate back into TWRP - I can't stand anything about stock Android. I came from Samsung and rooted my N6 the day I got it - I love AOSP customization but vanilla AOSP is totally not for me at ALL, lol.

Does anyone know what I could look for in a logcat to indicate to me whether my radio or my theme is causing the issue? For exampe, phrases I could search, i.e. for themes I know to look at "assets".. anything for radio? Grasping at straws I know but this issue is not a good one to just leave lie.

I very much appreciate your help as well as confirming I'm going about it correctly in not wanting to flood devs with logs all willy nilly. Log attached - whenever you get around to it, no worries.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
It's being looked at now.

OK, [MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION], here's what I have thus far (this is from a dev whom was kind enough to have a quick look at it), and I'd guess that it's a kernel issue, not a theme issue (please note that this is a start, and it could be rom related)...

There are a number of instances of the proximity sensor causing an error...specifically,

Error 1...

* *04-09 13:52:28.184 E/InCall *(23990): TelecomAdapter - error switchToOtherActiveSub, mPhone is null

Error 2...

* *04-09 13:48:19.487 E/InCall *(23990): TelecomAdapter - error setProximitySensorOff, mPhone is null

There are like 4 or 5 instances of those errors.

I'm unclear if proximity sensor is controlled by kernel.

Let us hope that another can step in and help this further along.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Kernel... say.. I do have sensor_ind disabled in Synapse as I don't use ambient display. Could that possibly be the cause of the proximity sensor issues? I never had this issue on 5.0 and I never bothered to enable sensor_ind in Synapse since I upgraded to 5.1 as Hydra has it disabled by default. If you could be so kind as to inquire (or just tell me yourself if you are aware) with whomever was kind enough to take a look at that log for me if the issue could be so simple, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, please do tell whatever developer was kind enough to take time of out their day to help a total stranger that their kindness is very much appreciated. This problem is definitely one I am not equipped to fix on my own as reading and interpreting logs is beyond my current level of comprehension - I am very thankful to have helpful folks like you in the XDA community. Again, no rush at all - I'll be looking forward to hearing any input you may have (and possibly kicking myself if it's been the wakelock being blocked this whole time :p)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
Well, now that you mention it, I had that setting deselected in Synapse this entire time, and thought nothing of it, and I've had dropped calls at random since on 5.1, but they happen infrequently enough that it's not noticeably horrible.

FWIW, the dev whom helped is 12 hours ahead of United States Eastern Standard Time, in Australia, actually, and he's more of a themer type, but one of the brightest minds on these forums, [MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION], anyway, for those whom would like to know wherein that setting resides in Synapse, see below screen shot.

I'd say turn it on, and give it a shot; I have. It should fix the issue (too early to tell, though).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Q &

Excellent. Will try enabling sensor_ind, if no luck gonna turn msm_hsic_host back up and see if that helps things.. maybe wakelocks were finally fixed for real this time (sensor_ind was NOT fully fixed on initial 5.1 release and I think I am literally the only person who noticed). Thanks for being a helpful friend as always, and a very sincere thanks to [MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] - I don't believe I have had the pleasure of speaking with you, just seen you around occasionally. That being said, the fact that you would take time out of your day to look at a log for a total stranger, whether doing so as a favor to a friend or not, speaks volumes about you. I sincerely appreciate both of you helping me - nothing like writing a tutorial for a noob Q & A thread and then turning into the noob within a matter of days :p
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
So enabling sensor_ind seemed to help a lot but I still do drop calls, just way less frequently. This time I was able to capture a very, very short verbose log as I isolated when the incident occurred. I started the log only 6 minutes before the drop, that way anything that may precede the drop can be seen. I stopped the log at the point in which I had opened the app . Will attach here if anyone is interested in giving it a look, regardless I wanted to update on the progress. Much better than it was but still not functioning quite right, yet anyway.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
Just make sure that Synapse settings stick on reboot...if the Synapse toast animation says "canceled," and you launch Synapse, hit the X, most of your previous settings will get reapplied, except for the ones under the miscellaneous tab.

[This is one of the reasons that I've mentioned how irritating Synapse is...at least Kernel Auditor and Trickster give you a persistent notification if they don't apply on boot...Synapse just trails across the screen for a millisecond and then disappears.]

So if Synapse shows you that canceled message, tapping the X re-enables none of the items under miscellaneous, including the check box for sensor_ind wakeup source, so you must go back and hit those again.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Oh yes, I am quite adept at Synapse - believe I've been using it longer than most as I jumped on Hydra immediately when it released. Sensor_ind was enabled, all settings stuck. I confirmed after drop but as for the toast, I watch it on every boot - part of Synapse use for me. I did have ambient display turned off still, but we are actually supposed to be able to disable that on stock so I would think that'd be fine.
