[Nexus 6  General] Sincereless:
A few issues I've noticed when using Android M after 5 days so far.

1: The bluetooth connection was choppy at first for some reason. Connect to the Tone 950 Headphones. Hasn't been an issue after the first hour that first time it connected.

2: When you turn off your screen and let some time pass....say 20 minutes. When you go to look at the clock it takes 4-6 seconds to update the time. When you're only needing to know the time and shut the screen back off in 2-4 seconds, you're getting the incorrect time. Which has happened to me 10+ times at work. It's usually 10 minutes slower than the correct time. (Could turning off the Network Time fix this for now? Will test.)

3: When I pair my headphones on kitkat, I just push the play button and it turns on the music app and plays my playlist. When I do that with Android M, nothing happens. (An app permission perhaps?)

4: Where's the gallery? Had to install Gallery Kitkat just to view my photos. Not everyone does the cloud with the Photo's App.

5: Google Bar isn't transparent. Anyone know of a work around or turning it off?

6: There's no Battery Percentage option like kitkat and previous versions. I know I can slide down the bar to see the number but I'd rather have it always showing.

In the Developer options, what's AwesomePlayer and NuPlayer? Neither are on the App list.

I don't need to reboot. Just turn off the display and turn on again.
[Nexus 6  General] hahajoker:
I've been away for a couple weeks...Any update on when we can expect M dev preview #2?

If I recall correctly the original timeline said late June.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
It said late june, early july... Expect it in the next 2 weeks or so...
[Nexus 6  General] jsuresh:
well, technically any day between now and July 10th. After 10th, they can't call it early July.
[Nexus 6  General] dmeadows013:
I am getting 5+ system crashes per day. Have to hard boot the phone each time. Is this normal?
[Nexus 6  General] jsuresh:
I get a random reboot once a while but no system crashes.
[Nexus 6  General] Lepa79:
Guys, any ideas when when we are going to get a stable release?
[Nexus 6  General] v8dreaming:
What did I change, and forget about, that made the phone on the lock screen be replaced by the Google search microphone? Or, was it always like that and I just noticed it?

The M preview has been more stable for me than any build since I got this phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Fedway:
It's always been that way in the M Preview.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Google has not given a release date (that I'm aware of), but generally the official release date for each new version, for Nexus devices is late November/early December.
[Nexus 6  General] Lepa79:
Thank you!

The new LG Nexus 5 may come earlier this year along with M and the new big Huawei N6 in november/december, at least thats what i suspect .... and hope ;)
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I hope you're right.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
The Huawei Kirin 950 that rumored is to be packed in the N6 is supposed to have LPDDR5 memory and a beastly cpu. I hope it has the batterylife of the Huawei Mate 7 too ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Lepa79:
Link to where this info coming from?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Just rumors mate atm, nothing is certain and will see for some links. But its good to dream about the perfect phone :)
[Nexus 6  General] Poke_N_PDA:
I am really looking forward to the new N6. I love mine, but I'm excited about Type C, a fingerprint scanner, and a slightly smaller size (6 inch is just a hair too big). That said, I hope we don't loose any current features. I love the front facing speakers and I want them to continue to improve the camera. Finally, the rumored 810 CPU has me concerned as well. I will withhold judgement till it is actually released and we have hands on data.

Great news! Hopefully they fixed the cellular disconnection bug that I kept running into. Can any one on t-mobile confirm that this bug has been fixed?

Key changes

Permissions changes

The android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT permission now has "normal" protection level, so it is no longer necessary to request this permission directly from the user. The USE_FINGERPRINT permission enables fingerprints to be enabled for authentication, but does not give the requesting app access to the enrollment/fingerprint administration flow.

The android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission has protection level "dangerous", meaning that apps wanting to write to external storage will need to request permission from the user at runtime. Both WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE are members of the STORAGEpermission group.

Remote Bluetooth/Wi-Fi MAC's now require either the android.permission.LOCATION_FINE orandroid.permission.LOCATION_COURSE permission.

Some accounts and identity permissions are moved to CONTACTS permissions group and others are removed or granted based on account type. In particular, android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS,android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS, and android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS are ungrouped pending further changes in a later release.

The Wi-Fi permissions android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE,android.permission.CHANGE_WIMAX_STATE, and android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATEnow have protection level "normal".

The Bluetooth permissions android.permission.BLUETOOTH andandroid.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN now have protection level "normal".

Bookmarks and subscribed feeds permissions are removed.

Apps included in the system image are no longer granted dangerous permissions automatically. All apps should check for and request permissions at runtime.

Introduces the utility method Activity.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(String), which lets your app see whether users have previously rejected a permission request. This lets you know that your app should explain the the user why it needs that permission. For more information see the Permissions developer guide.

Other changes

The android.app.AssistContent and android.app.AssistStructure classes are moved into a new package, android.app.assist.

Bluetooth Stylus APIs are updated and include new callback events. TheView.OnStylusButtonPressListener class is renamed to View.OnContextClickListener andGestureDetector.OnStylusButtonPressListener class to GestureDetector.OnContextClickListener.

TextInputLayout doesn't set hint for embedded EditText. (fixed issue)

Camera Permission issue with Legacy Apps (fixed issue)

[Nexus 6  General] apristel:
Just flashed and it is booting.

I used the no encrypt zip just like the previous preview and L roms. Will report back

EDIT: Booted quickly, the no encrypt zip works fine still, it is currently restoring my apps.

Also, same root procedure are the first preview. Do not let TWRP install SuperSU.
[Nexus 6  General] Greg Tolan:
Yeah flash it and let me know!:laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] Scallywag1:
Does the 2nd preview allow Google now with screen off?
[Nexus 6  General] Flav106:
Can someone test if Waze works with 2nd preview ?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I'd like to know this as well. I went back to stock because the preview doesn't have this feature.
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
They fixed the app draw woohoo!
[Nexus 6  General] krazyflipj:

[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Flashing now, but there is no "No force decrypt" boot image yet, so you will have to flash that later I guess, which will require you to format the file system and force you to have to set everything up, again...
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
Nope it force closes which sucks.
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
cant you use simg2img to extract the system files from system.img? i use it all the time on linux

Anyone see an option to make the app draw horizontal? I think I need to get use to this vertical draw kinda weird.

[Nexus 6  General] il buono:
Verizon Android M

VoLTE works fine
[Nexus 6  General] KnifeSkills:
Working fine on Verizon. Havent tested VoLTE.

I like the vertical app drawer. Some general UI polish, dark theme, new USB debugging icon, a few new options here and there.

Adding a tile in System UI Tuner didnt do anything.

Curious about option under settings>apps>advanced> Ignore optimizations. Says by default 3 apps are ignoring battery optimizations including Download Manager, Google Play services and Google Play Store.

Stock wallpaper isnt bad.

Havent found a hidden mini-game or anything but tapping on Android version M in about phone brings you to the screen you see in my screenshot but then all I can get out of it is a toast to appear at the bottom with a little shrugging emoji guy.

Now on tap says "Cards about the screen you were just viewing aren't available in this release"

[Nexus 6  General] mykenyc:
Is it a Android M problem or snapchat problem?
[Nexus 6  General] dmeadows013:
Probably both... It worked ok until the last Snapchat update and now it's unusable
[Nexus 6  General] orcsbane13:
Looks better but it's still vertical isn't it?
[Nexus 6  General] Fedway:
That's the best news of the day! I reverted my daily driver back to Lollipop because of this one issue. Now I can play with M again. Has anyone confirmed that it is still working okay in Preview 2? Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] apristel:
Wrong. Use the one from L. Works perfectly.

I came here to ask the same question, about the dark theme being gone... It was under developer options, correct? Dammit, now I might have to go back to a ROM with layers.
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
Changes in Google now settings. Is it me or does now on tap not work at all unless you highlight a word
[Nexus 6  General] Zer0_Cool:
You know layers work by default with M, right? Try it out!

And yes, it's under settings>developer options>theme> [light/dark/automatic]
[Nexus 6  General] dmeadows013:
Thanks! This works perfectly
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
that highlighting a word does not mean it works, all its doung is performing a search. as a matter of fact google has said it wont work as it should until the final release.
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
I didn't say it worked I just pointed out an observation. I'm the last preview the pop-up came with a long press. In this preview a long press opens google now, but highlighting a word props a google search
[Nexus 6  General] Slick52:
Now that you mention it, I do remember reading that somewhere! Thanks for the reminder!

Is there a new baseband/radio in the new M preview build?

If going from M1 to M2 without losing data, is it just flash everything besides userdata?

I tried elite latest m kernel to root same thing bootloops. I went back to Mokee ROM because M still has a lot of the issues preview 1 has still. I'll wait for the next release should be closer to final build.
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
Yes
[Nexus 6  General] beelow319:
sooo im stuck at Android Is Starting....any ideas? wiped cache and system. Then flashed system.img, rebooted - been sitting on this for 13 minutes
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
have you tried a force reboot?
[Nexus 6  General] beelow319:
giving that a shot now...first i tried to just flash the new system.img without wiping anything but it gave the same issue. I did a force reboot then but no luck. Thats when i went to recovery and am in my current situation. Just tried the force reboot...we will see in a few minutes if it comes up this time.
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
It's not going to boot I tried that and everything else to get it to boot. The boot.img did change because on preview 2 you don't see that message you seen on 1 that alone tells me the kernel changed.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
if its still a no go, reflash everything from the beginning.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

i never got the message on the first preview :mad:
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:

[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
well see, i didnt :p
[Nexus 6  General] akhan47:
'Still'? I've been running M preview 1 as a daily driver with no issues at all. I don't think I've ever had the Google app force close on me.
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
Impossible it was a huge thing if you search xda about it he removed and in the root thread they originally gave the credit to hellscore but he was the first. So that changed the kernel to root.

But don't take my word for it ask him and he will tell you it was built into the kernel by Google [emoji13] Unless you have extra powers like your photos with the N6 [emoji2]
[Nexus 6  General] paztine:
M Preview 2

Just flash M2 Preview going into my settings as I type different color on the welcome screen looking nice..
[Nexus 6  General] Zer0_Cool:
no issues here, it connected during setup and I've been using it since

Personally, I flashed everything except for the recovery (I left twrp). This will yield the unsecure message on boot with the stock kernel, but no other issues. I flashed userdata and wiped everything for a clean start, and restored with google auto restore (since I use play music and photos, there's no reason not to).

snapchat force closes for me with the latest version.

In case anyone else didn't notice, OK Google hotword detection with the screen off is now enabled on preview 2!
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
Were you on a custom kernel? If yes, flash boot.img as well.

I had this problem coming from despair.
[Nexus 6  General] lostrg:
thanks, I had issue connecting at work to an Enterprise (would not Authenticate) WiFi Preview 1 had no issues. Was able to connect to WiFi at home.
[Nexus 6  General] buckmarble:
It's actually in the ram disk. Last time around all I did is remove the verify boot execution from the ram disk along with the images. The verification is done with dm-verity. For root I had to force permissive at the kernel level because the os was overriding the cmd line configuration during boot.

A quick Google search for verity info. https://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/verifiedboot/index.html
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
You the man can you check this new stuff and see what's going on because I flashed the last M kernel and it bootloops.
[Nexus 6  General] buckmarble:
This is the order I did everything.

backup current setup in twrp.

reboot to bootloader

flash bootloader

reboot bootloader

flash system

flash boot img(use the new one in my thread)

reboot recovery

flash supersu

flash my kernel(7-7 updated one in my thread)

reboot

i KNOW it was a huge thing. i was around at the time, but i never got it. and ill tell you probably why.. i originally flashed the twrp zip(its first day around) dirty, over terminus rom. and it booted fine! it did have one issue with the pulldown menu. so all i did after was wiped data, and reflashed. booted up fine after, and without the message.
