[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Sounds like you have a firmware issue. Your best bet would be to flash the latest stock firmware NK2 with odin and run phone for a couple of days and allow battery to calibrate to a fresh operating system.

You can find a thread by ShinySide in general with mega links to latest firmware NK2.

Download and install odin and flash firmware, omit holo launcher for a couple of days, just run stone stock and you should see good battery life.

After you can root with Chainfire's CFAUTOROOT ( original development ) and delete Samsung and Tmo bloat if you like.

Just because you got phone from tmobile doesn't mean all is well.

Alright!! Got my nexus player today. Got it rooted and installed es file explorer and kodi woot woot. Video quality is amazing. Streaming so fast.

Quick couple of questions.

Is there a way to send files from phone to player via es file explorer?

Also, is there a way to make the nexus 5 a remote for the player? The keyboard function on the player is so awful lol
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
I believe you can use es file explorer to send files with google drive, afaik. I used teamviewer's file transfer but that was from PC to NP.

I actually use a wireless controller from android to control my NP since the remote is rubbish compared to a full keyboard wireless remote.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
I actually used 2 different ones. I'm currently using this one as it's alot slimmer, however this one works perfect, i just didn't like that it didn't have a power button like the first one does.

Things to note:

The black one worked flawlessly on my minix, it has 3 android buttons (menu, home, back) which didn't have any problems on my minix, when i got my NP, for some reason the back button acted as a mouse click.

I ended up remapping the page up and page down buttons via the generic.kl to remap them to backspace and escape so it would work better on kodi.

The black one also has reprogrammable IR buttons so i can program the remote to turn off my tv and adjust my TV volume if i need it louder/softer than android/kodi allows.

the white one doesn't have any problems aside from the personal preference i mentioned earlier, it doesn't have a power button, nor does it have reprogrammable IR buttons like the black one does.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briandresstoyota:
Yeah those wireless controllers look cool. I'd rather just use my nexus 5's. I have one that is essentially a WiFi nexus 5 touch deal. The cell antenna is fried from water but everything else works. I was using it to stream with Chromecast bit Chromecast kinda stunk for me. Would love to turn it into a dedicated remote for the player.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bradh024:
Wierdest thing happened tonight. I was talking on my phone and the damn thing shut down and wont turn back on. I had about 30% battery left on it. I tried charging it with several chargers and nothing, no charge light, nothing. Anyone ever hear of this happening? Im currently s off'ed, running the latest badboyz sense 6 rom.

Update.... Got it working somehow. I left it on the charger for a few hours, I picked it up to mess with it and the charging light was blinking. I screwed around with it a few more times and got it to start charging. I have absolutely no idea why it did that. Hopefully it doesn't happen again before I trade it in, I don't feel like dealing with the nightmare of getting a replacement.

I've had it happen to me twice, it's a bug with the phone. Each time, there was somewhere between 20% and 35% battery, then it just turned off, no warning. If it happens again, just let it charge some. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] GuestK0087:
This guide is for the proper preparation of your nexus 6 for resale or warranty return.

There have been many instances of people buying or selling their Nexus 6 and not following the correct procedure which leads to the new owner needing the previous owner's Google account password to set up and use the device. I am creating a separate thread for this information due to the fact that it needs to be more visible.

Credit for the following guide goes to [MENTION=4617969]PatimusXPrime[/MENTION]

How to properly prepare your Nexus 6 running Android 5.1 to sell:

1. Flash Stock ROM and reboot.

2. Set up your phone and add your Google account(s).

3. Remove any screen protection such as: pins, swipe patterns, facelock, ect.

4. Verify that your Google account(s) have synced to Google servers then remove them from the device.

5. Factory Reset your phone. You should do this via the settings menu.

6. I would even go so far to say -- reboot the phone and begin setup. Once you log into your WiFi, verify that the request for previous Google account message does NOT appear.

7. Once the new user is able to setup the phone and enter their own Google credentials, you are free to reset your Google password with no worry. You can likely reset this sooner if you have removed the account prior to the factory reset.

If you do not remove your Google account prior to Factory Resetting:

The next person to use the phone (setup the device) will require your Google account credentials in order to get past the setup phase.

Caution: If you reset your Google Account password before using it to get past the setup phase, the new user will have to wait 72 hours before the phone can be able to move past the setup phase.

If possible, contact the seller ahead of time and make sure they have removed their Google account prior to factory resetting.

[Nexus 6  General] GuestK0087:
The problem is more related to those that are not taking that step. I.E. their device is stock, so they factory reset and ship. Without removing the Google account first, the factory reset won't clear your account password from the device.

However, if you look at the second link in the relevant threads, you'll see an XDA user who says they flashed factory and reset and sold. The buyer was still unable to access the device due to it asking for previous users password during activation.

To get around the security features of your google account on android 5.1 would I be able to just flash the factory image of something earlier 5.0.1? Wouldn't this eliminate the issue of the google password then the buyer could just set the device up. Does this only apply to flashing back to android 5.1 and up?
[Nexus 6  General] GuestK0087:
The security features only apply in 5.1, but why go through all that trouble when you just have to remove your Google account then factory reset?

Yes you can revert but don't revert your bootloader or you'll end up bricked.
[Nexus 6  General] Solace50:
yea I don't get why you would go through some lengthy and unnecessary steps for no reason when you just flash the stock image from the provide which is publicly available and be done with it. or even just put on a custom rom for the sake of its usually just better for people.

---------- Post added at 04:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 AM ----------

then that specific user used an improper image/recovery tool/process.

twrp allows for the device to be wiped and deletes partitions for you when restoring an old image file of which every single user should have when they just get the phone. custom roms even have options to full wipe these days.

there is literally no reason to do the above steps in this thread unless your too lazy to find your stock image file and flash wipe/flash that.

None of it makes any sense what so ever as devices change hands and the results from a fresh install are identical to purging the account unless the data is stored in a new partition that is not handled by twrp etc...

I could see the issue persisting if the user dirty flashed the image file and did a factory reset thinking that would be just as good.
[Nexus 6  General] GuestK0087:
Lengthy process? Removal of your Google account takes all of 5 seconds. Then a factory reset. Not everybody roots or unlocks, so not everybody knows about flashing factory images. The fact is, this is a real issue affecting real people. Otherwise this wouldn't be in the sticky roll up.

[MENTION=4176798]Solace50[/MENTION],

The Nexus 6, with 5.1 is different from every other device that you (or I) have ever owned, from a security standpoint.

Google

made significant changes that were intended to render the device unusable if it was ever stolen. And this is new with 5.1.

The bottom line is that it's not "business as usual" when it comes to selling your used Nexus 6, if:

1) It 100% stock, including stock recovery, and

2) You had enabled the security settings.

Even if you wipe and flash a factory image, if you don't follow the recommendations of [MENTION=5302753]Evolution_Freak[/MENTION], then the new owner won't be able to log in to the device.
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
nm - figured it out.
[Nexus 6  General] guitardoc64:
Great information. It's going to come in handy some day.
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
If the previous owner didn't have "OEM unlock" and/or USB debugging, how would you be able to flash the phone, though? You can't get past the initial setup to get into settings.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
If the bootloader is locked, and you cannot boot into Android (in order to get into the settings to enable OEM unlock), then you are out of luck. Nothing you can do besides send the phone in for repair.
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
That's what I thought.

And also it makes less clear why some in this thread were discounting this as "no big deal" and something that could be bypassed simply by flashing.

I'm discovering that this is wreaking havoc in the used sales market. Not only do you have to warn people selling that they have to remove the account before resetting, but there seems to be a lot of ignorance about this new Android feature. I asked a big re-seller about a N6 they were selling and if they had removed the account and this was their response to me: You may have received some misinformation. Google doesn't have an equivalent to Apple's iCloud at this point. They only have an option to report the phone lost/stolen through Google Device Manager. I sent him the link to the Android kb article about it and the guy still tried to argue me down.

[Nexus 6  General] daPanic:
Hello,

you are speaking about to download and install the stock rom. Which one would be the right one for my phone?

Bought in Germay.

5.1.1 (For T-Mobile ONLY) (LYZ28K)

5.1.1 (For Project Fi ONLY) (LVY48F)

5.1.1 (LMY48T)

5.1.1 (For T-Mobile ONLY) (LYZ28M)

5.1.1 (For Project Fi ONLY) (LVY48H)

5.1.1 (LMY48W)

. . . . . . . . .
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
If you bought it in Germany, I doubt you bought it from T-Mobile USA. And I also doubt that you would have bought it via Project Fi. So, the only choices are LMY48T and LMY48W and MRA58K. You can flash any one of those, but the first two (LMY48T and LMY48W) will automatically get the update to the last one (MRA58K).

[Nexus 6  General] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Knowing it existed but yesterday completely forgot about:

"Caution: If you reset your Google Account password before using it to get past the setup phase, the new user will have to wait 72 hours before the phone can be able to move past the setup phase."

So yesterday i was flashing a lot of secondary roms in Multirom. Untill some of those roms refused to login into my Google account during the 'device protection' step. So as said, i forgot about that quote in OP and changed my Google password and tried to login again. And there it was: the 72 hours "killer switch". I started searching and some claim that enabling "OEM unlocking" in developer options disables this 'device protection'. What i did was booting into my primary rom and enabled it. I wiped data for the secondary roms and was able to sign in normally. Disbaled it again in primary rom and wiped data for the secondary roms. Killer switch was back when booting into these roms. Now the question: i know what OEM unlock is meant for: to be able to unlock the bootloader (which is done on my device of course) but would there be any harm in leaving "OEM unlock" enabled all the time?
[Nexus 6  General] :
I have always had mine enabled without issue.
[Nexus 6  General] Droidphilev:
Ok, good to know, thanks. Hopefully this does not influence the current 72 hours timer that i'm in. Will try to disbale the setting after the weekend and flash a rom :)
[Nexus 6  General] ThePsychicSaw:
So I tried to install a new rom, the same way I've always done since the original Droid, through recovery (twrp) and I flashed up a newer version of Chroma and I got locked out... of my own phone... a new phone.

I was half asleep so I think I entered my password wrong a time or two upon first bootup, which then shortly after prompted me with the message: please sign in with the owners account for this device. and sign in on your computer first and try again later (or something to that effect)

So I went to my computer to do so, then realized that google was telling me someone stole my device, even though i clarified it was me through that device manager, and then google made me change my password.

So after about 6 hours of research I've realized to an extent what happened, but wow what a mess. I am without a phone, at best, 72 hours or, at worst, indefinitely. All because I didn't remove my gmail before resetting my phone (even though i've never had to in all the roms ive flashed every couple months since like 2008, not that i'm an expert by any means). And this lockout was without any CLEAR and CONCISE warning officially in the phone. I'm sorry there is no defense for that, how they don't have a screen (in original setup) that you cannot pass to absolutely make sure you understand, simply stating: Before you wipe this phone for any future reason, you must delete your gmail account off first, is baffling.

Anyways, I had to fume a little. My question:

The phone is rooted and unlocked Verizon Nexus 6 and my gmail account is the original/only account ever on this phone, is there any older rom I can flash to get me past this? Like to get past setup to try and login into my account again then delete and reflash a Marshmallow rom again. I have nothing to lose at this point, seemingly.

Again, I have no phone right now, its not taking my account, there was never any other account on this phone, I sell phones, this was a new phone. Just beyond frustrated at such a feature, that I do not want at all, that I did not put on. I had a pattern lock that's it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, if there is such a zip to flash a link would be greatly appreciated.

You don't have a backup that you can restore?
[Nexus 6  General] ThePsychicSaw:
I'm extremely ignorant towards that, in all honesty from droid to galaxy nexus to nexus 6 and everything in between that ive had throughout the years I've never done backups or nandroids or whichever name they are, except coincidentally this time now that I think of it, through twrp. thats odd, does that have anything to do with this?

But anyways wouldnt it be physically backed on the phone? And if so, that has to be gone because after I ran into all this trouble that was foreign to me I went back into recovery and did a full reset to see if that solved it (why wouldnt it was my thinking, right?) so dalvick cache system etc etc, check off everything. So i'm assuming that its gone anyways.

sorry if I'm rambling, just trying to be as specific as I can.
[Nexus 6  General] Droidphilev:
:y english is not that good but i think i understand that you did make a backup but you think it's gone because you did a factory reset? or am i wrong? A 'normal' factory reset only wipes your data partition and since backups or on internal storage you won't lose them. If you choose 'restore' in TWRP it will show you your backups.
