I'm on LMY47Z which is 5.1.1 ... Are there updates that are worth updating to and what do people recommend? I'm on Verizon and know the ROM isn't specific but the bootloader is. I want to stay pretty stock. Usually I run CleanRom but Scott doesn't do the Nexus 6 anymore. Some things that are important to me is the 4 way extended reboot menu, and VoLTE working. I don't need to change the way many things look or WiFi calling. If there are updates that are worth moving to could someone point me in the right direction ? I've been looking for a while and a lot of roms are running asop not stock for their build. Having hard time figuring which roms are newer

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
looks like your wifi was on. 1. the wifi is a terrible quality router or 2. it was using your wifi signal for your location and got stuck.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickenwing13:
I would say the latter, weird thing is that wifi was not on when I looked... So weird.. I think I'm going to go back to Lollipop and a ROM for a while till maybe the official stuff comes out... maybe just a coindedence... I also plugged it into the wall and it wouldn't charge? I turned it off and it would charge? I don't understand this stuff man. I've had zero issues with this thing ...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thats a normal google setting. google now uses the wifi to check your location, even if you have wifi disabled. but, you can turn that off as well. its in the wifi settings. just disable the wifi scanning. in m, its in the location settings. a reboot usually fixes a process that gets stuck though. meaning, if you caught it earlier, then rebooted, it would fix itself. about the charging, thats weird. but a reboot would normally fix that as well.

Well I moved from my trusty nexus 5 to the shamu

It seems I'm having issues with my data on every single Rom other than DU (dark unicorns).

I've check my apns and it's checks out.

Data signal has an exclamation mark on every Rom I have tried.

My cell carrier is Rogers (the robbers)

I have also flashed the new radio for 5.1.1.

Any idea's

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, it's a known issue. For some, a radio reflash has worked. Flash the same radio again. I know you said you checked your APN but perhaps try another. Google can help with that. Search for the proper APN for your specific area.

Had a lot of trouble tonight. Sunday I posted about being on Android M for a while and it was pretty good until Sunday when I saw my battery totally drain from 10:30-1:00 with almost no on screen time from my wifi, which was turned off... I decided I wanted to flash back to LYZ28e. I did, rooted, installed recovery, did a total wipe, system, cache, system, and installed chroma with the inverted gapps (wonder if this is my issue) with lean kernel.. experienced great battery life for the last day.. took a long trip to cleveland and it just turned off and wouldn't boot back up .. ... i could access recovery but didn't have a back up (my own fault) tried wiping dalvic and cache and somewhere during that it powered itself off.. .. eventually got it powered up trying to wipe again for a few minutes but it powered off again and went to the bootloader and told me that it was locked (i've been unlocked since i got the phone although I have flashed different firmwares on several occasions) So i did a full factory reset and wipe, installed chroma with these apps tk_gapps-modular-micro-5.1.1-20150726-signed and bootlooped as soon as I got past the "restoring" screen on my initial set up........ I'm currently charging it and am going to flash a firmware, but the things that was weird was when it went to the booloader screen i saw something that said locked on one of the times... Any thoughts? This is currently a Google Version 64gb on the verizon network.. Any thoughts guys ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
You could try to change the WiFi.supplicant_scan_interval. Default value is low 10 or 15. I set the value on my N6 at 200. It is subjective but it works for me.

(Build.prop editor).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickenwing13:
I made it home to flash lyz28e .. thought i'd just try and start over... and my phone just keeps powering down? wtf..... i'm freaking out..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Maybe you should go back to the basics.

Flash stock and Franco's kernel.

The only things I've changed concerns the battery. (Black when possible)

It is working on my N6 for months now.

Has anyone ever encountered this wakelock? I cannot figure it out but my battery is taking a hit, on latest Dirty Unicorns, stock kernel, no Xposed. Msm_hsic_host enabled or disabled, wakelock blocker on or off it doesn't matter either way. Search hasn't helped, just leads to BBS threads from years ago. Anyone have a clue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickenwing13:
Thanks for the recommendation.. lyz28e been good for about the last 16 hours.. haven't even rooted yet... probably be willing to try franco's kernel. I'd never flashed a kernel till I did Lean on top of chroma, battery life seemed awesome... .. Thanks for the recommendation man.

Crap, better late than never I hope...what theme do you have applied? And, have you tried removing all themes, rebooting, and letting it sit idle?

Please post a before and after screen shot with and without theme.

Irrespective, please let us know if you've made any progress.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
I was out in the boonies... however I was on WiFI. That being said, I went home to... not the boonies, and rebooted. Wakelock has not come back since.. I wonder if it has something to do with blocking msm_hsic_host when actually in areas with poor cell reception or something, or simply due to poor reception in and of itself. Either way, problem solved.. now it's this 1013 AudioIn wakelock that's driving me up a wall. Strange as I rarely have wakelock/deep sleep issues but am having all sorts of them on what is 100% not a bad flash.. everything running perfectly... Pure Nexus is also behaving rather erratically at times on my secondary in MultiROM. I wonder if this stuff could have to do with needing a radio update, as it seems to be affecting battery on both ROMs (especially the more I use the phone as an actual phone to talk). I'm on 16r M dev 1 preview radio.. I need to gain a better understanding of radios/modems.. I certainly do not know when mine needs an update like I do my kernel, ROM and everything else. I'd just flash them all and find out, but in my experience, flashing the wrong radio in an attempt to fix wakelock issues makes things exponentially worse.

tl;DR problem fixed itself but seems to be accompanied with unwelcome companions.

Edit: and theme is Blu XS from Cerj... I know it's always possible but that's super low on my list of suspects.. because cerj. I'm sure I do not need to expand on that, to you anyway lol

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Assuming it comes back (I've rebooted again after clearing some caches and freezing a few apps/processes, hoping I stopped whatever process was hung if that was the issue) I will absolutely screenshot it here.. that being said, hopefully this post will not have a reply lol :p Appreciate your time and concern as always mic,.. you know how these wakelock issues just get under my skin for some reason, so I greatly appreciate the help in trying to pinpoint the problem.. I do not know why but it seems everyone has their "quirk".. for me, for some reason wakelock issues in particular really annoy me. As for cerj's theme... it's simply a shame Google didn't roll out Lollipop with that applied.

Just wondering I was thinking of getting a Nexus 6 but need to know does it have a theme app like lg has lg store and can u change keyboards like lg in there store

Thank you
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
In short, it's a nexus, you can change everything. ;)

Custom ROMs allow theme support via CM theme engine or RRO layers support. Android M allows themes natively with RRO layers. You can use any keyboard available from play store or available here in the themes and apps section. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowbaggie22:
So lets just say I have everything stock no root at all or anything I still would be able 2 change themes the nexus does have a theme app I don't like keyboards from play store I just like to theme the one I've got on there also what's RRO layers
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you used another launcher, like Nova, you would be able to change themes and icons. No, the nexus does not have a native theme app, but as I said before, once android M drops officially, you would most likely be able to theme with RRO layers without root.

Hey guys, I'm coming from OPO so I"m pretty comfortable flashing roms and kernels.

I"m testing out the Nexus 6 and so far I'm loving everything but the screen size.

I need some advice on what rom I should try.

I see that Chroma and Euphoria are the most popular for Nexus.

My choices are

1 - Stock rooted and maybe flash franco or lean kernel

2- Chroma rom with stock kernel or the 2 mentioned above

3- Eurphoria with stock kernel or the above mentioned

Looking for the most battery life, I miss the customizations I got on CM.

Would you guys suggest to lower the resolution to 1080pm and dpi to 420 to get better battery life or leave it as is?

I tried switching my DPI to 493 and 520 with the stock resolution and things weren't looking right.

Sorry if these questions are repetetive
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I changed the LCD_density with the app build.prop editor to 384. The font size is set to huge.

The N6 is than in tablet mode.

EDIT

For the battery I changed the WiFi scan interval from 15 to 200. It's a subjective value, but works for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
lowering "resolition" wont raise your battery life, as it doesnt change the screen size nor actual anything about the screen. battery life will all depend on hiw you use the device, how you set it up, which apps that you install, and the quality of your phone/data connection. everything else is minor when it comes to battery. roms have nothing to do with battery, nor do kernels. but, kernels can help with battery, but its still your setup that will jusge the battery, not the kernel.

oh, and most popular roms do not equate to be the best roms. popular and best are two differing things.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyq:
Good to know.

Do these custom roms have wake lock issues?

With my OPO I had to disable a bunch of services, have a certain task running and have greenify installed.

Hey guys. Hopefully somebody can help me. I tried google but no luck. Anyways, does google save my WiFi passwords? I'm connected through my jobs WiFi and IT had to set me up. If I reflash a ROM will it be saved?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osiris010:
There's a setting you can toggle on (in your Google account settings I'm pretty sure) where it will save WiFi passwords. I've never had any luck with it actually working though. I have to reenter the WiFi password at my work all the time and I haven't even flashed a new ROM or anything lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i never ever have to actively save my wifi passwords, aa soon as i enter them one time, they are saved forever. also, in your main settings, back and reset, enable back up my data, and restore my data. that way when you boit up after wiping, and log in, your wifi passwords reappear in wifi settings.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treezy26:
OK so made a backup in twrp and it says "unable to t find system/image partition to create backup process"???
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osiris010:
That's it, that's the setting you need to turn on. I went looking for it and couldn't find it after I posted.

Side note, I think it's just my work's WiFi that always prompts me for the password, not a N6 or ROM issue. It'll remember it for a while but after a week or two (I travel for work a lot) I'll come back and it'll ask for it again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Curious what everyone finds to work for them, as I have MultiROM'd myself into stupidity (defaults just all over the place, lol) and the last I've seen people talking this.. was on KitKat, so not sure at all how much of any of that info even is still relevant.

Is there really any advantages at this point, on 5.1.1 to using "High Accuracy" mode for location as opposed to "Device Only" mode? What does everyone else use? I've been flashing radios lately and having massively differing drains on different ROMs - seems my location settings are defaulted differently on different ROMs.. I had always used "High Accuracy" but recently I noticed that Pure Nexus defaults to "Device Only".. I see Maps still works just fine but not sure if push notifications from certain apps or other things might be affected. I'd be curious to hear what others are using and why, as I really never noticed the difference from ROM to ROM until just now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
high accuracy will give you an exact location, but tends to drain battwry more. device only gives a general location, but is much better on battery. i generally use device only, unless i need to give/get an exact location.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
I appreciate the quick answer. I do understand that, and further that device only uses GPS, battery saver uses network, and high accuracy uses both. However, what I am not clear on is more.. is there any benefit to high accuracy unless you need to for some reason give a detailed location? I can't imagine people would take that kind of hit on battery just for better location details... wondering if there are certain app s(or certain push notifications) that I might not get full use of in device only or something... otherwise it seems staying in device only is a no brainer.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
na, the only benefit is if you need your exact location. i mean, me using battery saving, i still get all my location oriented notification, and google now location notifications. if i was using an app to order myself lunch and have it delivered, id turn on high accuracy, just for ease. as even using device location, id get meat of the matter finding whats around me. or if i used gps, id enable high accuracy, at least that way it would show me on the road :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I use battery saving and it's usually accurate within 80 feet of my exact location, FWIW. :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
DPI is not resolution and will not affect battery life but the resolution itself can be changed with some apps that turn off pixels. On an LCD screen, since each pixel is backlit by 1 huge backlight, that will make no difference.

However, on an AMOLED screen, each pixel is giving out its own light, so an app such as pixel battery saver will save battery by turning off pixels to get to a lower resolution. One issue here however, is that the overall brightness of the screen will be duller as pixels are turned off. That's a problem given our screen is a struggle to see in sunlight anyway

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Not so much more, but the settings menu and some apps are shown in 2 columns.

The keyboard in PC mode is nice, also in portrait.

Because the screen is 'wider' the N6 is able to show webpages in desktop mode. Especially in landscape view.

Of course with limits. The characters are rather small on a 6 inch tablet. The font size need to be set to huge or very large.

It is subjective but I like it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Thats because LCD Density is DPI which as I stated earlier, is nothing to do with resolution. Resolution changes will save power but DPI is nothing to do with Pixels at all, so it is not relevant to this conversation. The DPI change in the article you're talking about is only adjusted to resize assets once the resolution has changed.

..And yes, I was slightly incorrect when I talked about turning pixels off will not save power on an LCD display. The display itself will not save any power, however, as per the above mentioned article, if the GPU is working less, that will save power there. But obviously, GPU AND Display can save on AMOLED so the differences on AMOLED is much greater than on an LCD Display device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrojas:
I assume I don't need to be able to see the screen at all to use this tool? Remember, it is completely burned out I can't see what is on it at all.

When you say keyboard in PC mode, do you mean going into the keyboard settings to toggle the PC keyboard?

Yes, in the language settings you can switch on keyboards for various languages. And for some languages there is a extra kb with PC layout (numbers at the top).
