Something is definitely weird about my battery as well. It seems to be draining faster but charging insanely fast. It went from 50% to 100% in 13 minutes. This tells me the battery indicator is way off. I was probably more likely at 80 something % than 50% if it charged to full in 13 minutes. (using the standard Moto rapid charger)

Edit to add: I flashed preview 2 (not OTA) and this seems to be the only problem I have outside of my MLB app still not working
[Nexus 6  General] Lootes:
I can confirm Twitter works with a clean install. What doesn't work for me is DirecTV, Evernote and Uber. All my other apps seem to be fine.
[Nexus 6  General] vickysud:
Working all perfectly without any crashes.
[Nexus 6  General] 414isaiah:
[MENTION=3723535]danielvc[/MENTION]

You dirty flashed android m over lollipop? (Facepalm)

Of course all your apps are crashing. Do a clean flash.
[Nexus 6  General] danielvc:
Just checking dude, just checking. Chill out.
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
Anyone reboot after initial install and get your device failed verification and may not work properly with an ID that is blank then says booting in 5 seconds?
[Nexus 6  General] picachux:
Any changes to the camera? Does it even work?
[Nexus 6  General] Lootes:
Same camera app.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
From reading it, it looks like a security feature. Only your phone can read the contents on the usb storage. That way if you lose it, no one can access the data on the external storage you attached to your phone.
[Nexus 6  General] niko2931:
Yes i have this..
[Nexus 6  General] thepolishguy:
camera

[MENTION=3183886]bigxie[/MENTION] said on twitter that the manual exposure worked again on N6 M build.
[Nexus 6  General] cody631:
Flashed everything except boot loader.. booted up and working fine.
[Nexus 6  General] picachux:
Does it fix the camera refocusing issue on video?
[Nexus 6  General] Marcellus1:
Thanks. I thought about that too. If that was the only reason though, wouldn't "secure storage" or something be more accurate than "internal storage"? There's been speculation over the years that Google doesn't like microsd cards at least in part due to their insecure nature--anyone can pop them out of the phone and have access to whatever data is on them. Adding this layer of security to additional storage, whether microsd or usb, certainly addresses that insecurity.
[Nexus 6  General] DespairFactor:
We have been 3.10.40 since the device's launch...

No

It does force encryption, root I am unsure of right now

You need to manually use fastboot commands to flash it
[Nexus 6  General] Lootes:
Anyone else having an issue setting up "OK Google" as always on? For some reason it doesn't hear me when I'm recording the phrase.
[Nexus 6  General] neuteboomt:
Does not work for me either.
[Nexus 6  General] Deeco7:
Who's planning on using it as a daily driver?
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
Did you do a clean flash or dirty one ?
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
Dark theme option in Dev settings <3

So what did you do to fix the device verification failed.?
[Nexus 6  General] altimax98:
OTA + Beta = Trouble

Everyone (myself included) who clean flashed the new preview haven't had a whole mess of problems. The only one I routinely have is the battery calibration issue. Otherwise I have a problem where the back button in Chrome doesnt work. Besides those its more stable then Preview 1
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
I second this. This build is more stable than M1 and definitely DD material.
[Nexus 6  General] mcnob:
Well I can no longer connect to my car via Bluetooth. Every time I try i just get a "Bluetooth share has stopped" error and BT turns off completely.

Happens on both Nexus 6 and Nexus 5. Anyone else had this??

A proper dealbreaker.
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
That blows. I haven't had the same experience, I use Bluetooth for music in the car and at home
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
Here is my battery drain graph. It switched off at the last entry of 1%

Was at 1% for 50 minutes and charged in 80-90 minutes.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Interesting.
[Nexus 6  General] sitnlow4life:
Anyone have an issue where they downloaded the update then could not find the update ?

Then when I go to about phone > system updates

It says no update available

Any ideas ?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yep. I'm in the same boat, received the OTA, as proof I posted screenshots above, successfully downloaded the OTA, and now it's gone. This is exactly why I wanted to wait and test the OTA process.
[Nexus 6  General] zivan56:
Does the OTA fix the white on white text in the Service Mode menu that displays LTE bands/etc?

To open it, dial *#*#33284#*#* and select the 'LTE Engineering' menu item.
[Nexus 6  General] kornklown69:
well since i read all these posts I'm guessing it's a good idea to just flash clean the system img
[Nexus 6  General] Tetsujin101:
Hi, I can't agree with you. If you use bluetooth headphones ore wanna check your data use in settings this is IMO no DD. I just want to mention this for other people. Best regards.
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
I can't open this menu. When I type the combination I get a black screen with Debug Menu header and that's it.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Waited for the system to re-prompt. 39 apps updated. Took a long, long time to restart. Took a long time to flash. Testing begins...
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
Make sure you use chrome beta
[Nexus 6  General] joshua.justice:
Any idea how I can update to cyanogen from the M preview? I know to flash via fastboot but I'm not at home with my computer or root. I've got my chromebook and chroot but I can't get adb/fastboot to install.

Will adb sideload update.zip work between ROMs or is it just a similar builds?
[Nexus 6  General] sitnlow4life:
Woke up this morning and was prompted to download the update again .

This time I was able to restart and install

When the device began to install the update it failed halfway through.

Lol

Womp womp
[Nexus 6  General] diogoperas:
Does battery reporting improve over time? It stayed at 1% for like 1h SOT and 10h standby.
[Nexus 6  General] forstir9:
I wonder if the OTA goes through the carrier network! For those that have gotten the OTA...what carrier do you use for service?
[Nexus 6  General] arcanexvi:
It takes a cycle or 2 but mine is accurate now.
[Nexus 6  General] altimax98:
Mine still isnt accurate, it's at least 20% off. Running it since M2 released.
[Nexus 6  General] zivan56:
Thanks for checking, yes that probably means the sub menus have this issue as well:(
[Nexus 6  General] zoomy942:
I disabled the Now on Tap option and am trying to today to see if battery gets any better (meaning Play Services isn't at the top of the list).
[Nexus 6  General] altimax98:
Same here. The menu works, just cannot be seen. It was the same on M1
[Nexus 6  General] LeeSta108:
Has anyone found a fix for the freezing on YouTube?
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
I've never seen any freezes in youtube. Not on M1 not on M2.
[Nexus 6  General] arcanexvi:
This and I use it a lot
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
Let us know if that resolves GP services
[Nexus 6  General] zoomy942:
A bit early to tell but I'm encouraged that play services isn't #1 on the list. The battery is doing okay too compared to yesterday.
[Nexus 6  General] kf2m:
Been on M2 since Sunday night.
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
He's referring to after turning off the 'Now on Tap' option, or whatever it's called
[Nexus 6  General] zoomy942:
WOW! That's certainly better than I'm getting. but mine isn't as terrible as it was. Anything special you did to get it that way?
[Nexus 6  General] dave6018:
Anybody who has issues with google play service battery drain just turn your phone off and back on again, it seems to happen when you switch from WiFi to a data connection, the screen battery usage swaps positions with google play service, eg google play services is actually displaying the screen battery usage
[Nexus 6  General] blazarus22:
Perhaps related to the battery drain which has slowly fixed itself, has anyone encountered the extreme cpu slowdown as the battery dips below 20% (not in saver mode)? Is there a fix?
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
Yeah I've noticed it too, was wondering what the hell was going on. Sometimes I notice it more than others, I.e. it seems to be worse sometimes and not at others

*I've mostly noticed it after 10% or 5% though. Not really after 20%. But perhaps that has something to do with the shoddy calibration.*
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
Snapchat is working again via the newest update, fyi
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
battery drains much quicker on preview 2. hopefully this doesn't turn out like lolli did in the begining
[Nexus 6  General] papeshfoo:
Not for me...
[Nexus 6  General] jlvlawrence:
Try discharging your battery completely. That seemed to fix my weird battery issues.
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
Version 9.12.1.0?
[Nexus 6  General] Eckless:
Similar issue here.

No problems connecting to android wear - just the car. It will pair for a few seconds, then start throwing "Unfortunately, Bluetooth share has stopped" messages every few seconds and disconnect.

I am not smart enough to know how to fix this or properly report it on the bug tracker - has somebody already started that effort?
[Nexus 6  General] papeshfoo:
Yep, as soon as I enter my user name and password and hit log in, it force closes
[Nexus 6  General] holeindalip:
The past two beta versions of Snapchat work flawless
[Nexus 6  General] Naruto101:
Hello question for you guys, does anyone have problems with email pushes with the m build? Emails do push but they're alot slower even sometimes 25 min delay? Currently using Gmail.
[Nexus 6  General] zoomy942:
I've been experimenting with my Jaybirds.

Turns out when you connect a bluetooth device, you'll get an option (tap the gear next to the paired device) for phone or media. On the jaybirds, if I uncheck the media option, it connects as a headset to the phone just fine. No crashes. If I re-enable the media (which would play google music) then it crashes.

Not a solution but more than zero.
[Nexus 6  General] uicnren:
No, still same issue, in fact now its worse actually.

The main debug screen now has black lettering on a black background. If you poke around, you can find the various menus, but they are now white on white.
[Nexus 6  General] forstir9:
Could someone tell me the steps I need to take to go back to 5.1 on Verizon. I know it was asked before but man there is a bunch of pages. I plan to see how 5.1.1 will be on the nexus but I think I have to start with 5.1 first. I appreciate any advise and I am sorry to ask something that was already asked but a quick search didn't get me any results
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
why do you have to start with 5.1 to install 5.1.1? why not start with android 1.5, cupcake? if you want 5.1.1, just flash 5.1.1.
[Nexus 6  General] forstir9:
Thanks for the response...I will skip cupcake though.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
cupcake was exciting, but for that point in androids history. now, i wouldnt even call it much :angel:
[Nexus 6  General] adambombz:
I keep on getting an error while the ota is installing anyone know a fix to this? I was rooted but I got rid of it by flashing everything but the userdata so I'm guessing that has something to do with it. Also has anyone tried dirty flashing the system images (everything but user data) and had success?
[Nexus 6  General] Eckless:
Zoomy942 -- thank you for the response. I was able to wrestle my phone into connecting with my car for "calls only" and leaving media unchecked -- that at least stops the "Unfortunately, Bluetooth Share has stopped" messages. I suppose I can go without Bluetooth audio in my car for a month, just gotta find that AUX cable.

Thank you!

Eckless
[Nexus 6  General] kf2m:
Nothing really special. Just did things like lower the brightness to just below half with Adaptive Brightness enabled, setting the CPU governor to OnDemand, a black background, and using WiFi when I can. It helps that when I'm at work (which is most of the time) I'm in the direct LoS of a Sprint tower. Every little bit helps.
[Nexus 6  General] jblazea50:
Getting really poor battery life on M Preview 2. I sideloaded OTA and everything is stock. In M Preview 1, I managed to get around 3 hrs SOT. With MP2, I'm getting around 1.5-2 hr SOT. Usage is normal. When I check battery stats, it shows Wifi 50%+.
[Nexus 6  General] motoridersd:
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. My bluetooth crashed this morning for the first time, even though it has been paired to my car as media and phone for a few days. I noticed it was definitely crashing when I paired my Jaybirds. Did you guys install the OTA or flash the system image for Preview 2 directly? I sideloaded the OTA so I was going to overwrite system in case something had gone wrong with the update.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Thanks for the tip! I had not thought about looking for a beta version
[Nexus 6  General] Armxnian:
M2

Anyone else get the "Your device is corrupt" message on boot? Fairly sure it's because of a custom recovery + stock boot img. Also, when first going into the recovery, TWRP says the system partition is unmodified. What is the difference if you leave it untouched or click on the modify option? I tried them and both work. Is this what the read only problem is about?
[Nexus 6  General] motoridersd:
Are you using the right boot, bootloader and radios for the build? Did you try to sideload the OTA and it failed? I got that message when I did the latter. Flashing everyhing again got it back.
[Nexus 6  General] kakazsh:
Ingot similar experience. WiFi eats up a big chunk of battery and the SOT is shortened compare to preview 1.
[Nexus 6  General] Armxnian:
I wiped everything and flashed preview 2 in fastboot. Got the message so I reflashed, and my recovery was somehow deleted so I flashed that.

After a few reboots the corrupt message seems to have dissapeared. Preview 2 works fine running elite kernel and root, except I have no write access to system. The message in TWRP came up with only stock images flashed. It didn't happen in preview 1 but I never flashed the stock boot.img and flashed the "fix" image instead so I can't compare.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Is Android Device Manager working for anyone who has flashed the M Preview? My Nexus 6 and Nexus 5 don't appear, although my other Lollipop devices do.

Has anyone got ADM working?
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
I haven't had any bluetooth crashes like a lot of people are seeing here, but yeah my calls work completely fine on my car but no music. I really wish I could get music streaming though, but I don't want to roll back to L. First world problems.
[Nexus 6  General] Eckless:
Havanahjoe: being OCD, I always install a fresh factory image. Total overkill but at least in situations like this I know it isn't a "dirty flash" issue.
[Nexus 6  General] NotATreoFan:
I did not run into any issues with both calls and music streaming to my car, a 2013 Sonata. The ID3 tags even transferred to my stereo, which has been hit or miss with L kernels.
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
I did a clean flash of preview 2 and my battery was stuck at 1% for 3.5 hrs..
[Nexus 6  General] arcanexvi:
Yep. It's not calculating battery properly for a lot of people on fresh install. I had to fully discharge a few times before it worked properly. A lot of people saying they're getting bad battery life probably don't realize they're having this issue. If they ran down the battery entirely to the point that it shut off, they'd probably be @ 1% for a while.
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
Interesting. I'm using it in a 2013 Camaro. What app are you streaming from? I only use Google Play Music and it worked on M Preview #1 but not now.
[Nexus 6  General] NotATreoFan:
Primarily Google Play. Occasionally a different app for local music. Bluetooth issues tend to lie with the kernel, so I would suggest trying one of the M-compatible custom kernels to see if the issue goes away. It's quite possible that the M2 kernel has some glitches with streaming.
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
That may be it then. I'm stock and not rooted, which may explain why you're not having issues and a bunch of us are.
[Nexus 6  General] NotATreoFan:
I was stock, unrooted as well. But the stock kernel could have a conflict with the Bluetooth protocol used by your car. I couldn't run a custom kernel because it borked my WiFi.
[Nexus 6  General] jlvlawrence:
I'm not having any Bluetooth issues in my car either. Calls and media seem to work fine. I have noticed that all of my pictures that I have for my contacts are all blurry, except for my "favorites". I was also having weird battery issues, but a complete discharge (which I don't like to do) seems to have fixed that.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

You could always download the factory image and use fastboot to go back stock, or use the wugfresh tool kit.
[Nexus 6  General] brycesub:
I have the latest M preview installed, rooted, and have R/W to /system, everything is going great. However, I'd like to decrypt the /data partition. What's the best way to do this? Here's what I'm thinking:

Boot into TWRP recovery.

Backup /data

Copy TWRP backup to my computer

Format /data

Copy TWRP backup back to the phone

Restore backup.

Am I doing this right? When I format /data I'll lose the TWRP backup (hence the need to copy it to the computer first) right?
[Nexus 6  General] papeshfoo:
Got my OTA today, everything went smooth as silk. Seems pretty stable so far, no force closing on any apps I use.
[Nexus 6  General] forstir9:
I didn't revert to 5.1.1 yesterday because I was going to do it today after work. I am on Verizon and I just got the OTA for M2 today at work.

I tried to install it but when the Android comes up after the reboot it installs about a third of the way and it states error...

I was completely stock before I installed Android M and I haven't rooted this phone at all.

Is there a solution to the error, I don't remember reading about this issue throughout this whole thread.
[Nexus 6  General] adambombz:
Flash all the system images except for the user data and you won't loose anything and everything works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] forstir9:
What program do I use to flash? This is my first Nexus and the only other things I have done is root a few Samsung devices.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
fastboot.

before flashing anything, please read up a little bit, educate yourself.
[Nexus 6  General] brockkk:
Only real problem with the m2 preview is taking a pic through hangouts messes up. Been running great other then that.

Edit: this whole time I thought I was getting around 4 hours sot. Well tonight undecided to let my battery drain all the way to see what the max was. My phone stayed on 1% for a whole extra hour of sot. Super stoked.
[Nexus 6  General] forstir9:
I actually have read every post on this entire thread since the very beginning. I am not the kind of guy to root and change roms every other day.

I like to find the best thing that works and go with that. Stock Nexus has been fantastic and I didn't feel the need to explore. However, Android M sounded pretty good, so after reading this thread for about 4 days after release and a few people saying it could be a stable daily driver I went through the instructions to upgrade.

I have no problem going through a flash process but I find it weird that I might be the only one getting an error while it installs the OTA. If I knew the OTA would error out I would have just researched and installed M2 when it first released.

I read plenty here on XDA for every phone me and my wife own. I just don't mess with the phones unless they have severe issues. My Nexus 6 and my wife's Droid Turbo have been actually really nice......until my OTA won't install! It's actually quite annoying now that I get the notification to download and upgrade and it errors every time.
[Nexus 6  General] motoridersd:
Thanks!

A friend tried a clean flash and is also able to use A2DP without issues. I'll do a clean install later. I was lazy and didn't want to wait for the full image download over work's slow internet connection :p

Anyone else notice youtube orientation getting stuck on m2? Occasionally when in full screen, if I rotate the phone back to portrait mode the video will stay in landscape, as if the orientation is locked.

You have to manually minimize the video and it will go back to normal.

Also getting, "Can't load search results" occasionally when using the google search bar.
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
Charged to 100% and still going strong at 1600mA. I think I should wait for it to reduce to below 500mA.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
I got the OTA yesterday and the update took with no issues. I have been running stock un-rooted since I put the preview on. Preview 2 seems to be running really well. No Bluetooth issues with my headphones or my car. Miss being able to have the dark menus, hopefully they bring that back in the next preview. The only issue is the battery calibration issue that almost everyone has been having. Plan on running the battery out today and then fully charging it overnight since that has seemed to work for most.
[Nexus 6  General] robrowald:
Yep, Everytime It tries to connect to my truck it does the same thing
[Nexus 6  General] jrac86:
Does anyone else experience a weird white noise/static sound when playing games on Android M preview 2? I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned at all. I was getting it a lot. Any suggestions or does this sound like just a regular preview bug?
[Nexus 6  General] robrowald:
I did a clean flash and I have the BT issue. So fresh install isn't necessarily the answer.
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
What mA does it receive when it's 100% charged?
[Nexus 6  General] forstir9:
Who is your provider? I am not saying my issue is provider related but maybe it is!
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
Okay do here it goes. The phone isn't charging till 100% when it shows 100%.

My phone showed 100% at 8:55 PM, but continued to charge at 1600mA for some time. Battery monitor widget showed charging the status as charging. After some time in dropped to around 400mA and then to 50mA.

Finally at 10:50 PM, after 2 hours, battery monitor widget showed that it was not drawing any more power and the status was reported as full.

Clearly the phone wasn't charging to its full capacity at all and trickle charge is working as it should.
[Nexus 6  General] romdroid.:
Does it happen when your battery is under 40%? Did you have this issue on 5.1.1?
[Nexus 6  General] jrac86:
My battery was still pretty full, I believe it was at around 70-80%. Only was happening while gaming... No issues on 5.1.1.
[Nexus 6  General] Gzan23:
Any luck on the battery calibration issue yet? I've drained to zero a few times and mine still is horribly off. Charges from 50% to 100% in under 15 minutes.
[Nexus 6  General] Brandito:
Phone just spent 7 hours at 1% battery. That was with pretty normal use. Installed apps, including battery monitor widget, updated apps, did some facebook, watched some youtube, typical stuff. It was actually at 1% battery longer than it was at 100-2% battery. Finally have it charging, though I may be asleep before I can see if it continues taking charge after 100%.
[Nexus 6  General] lngwca:
Yep. Same here. I tried clean install of 2. Then a clean install of 1 and it worked then took ota 2 and it broke. Back to 5.1.1. I drive 200 miles a day. That's a necessity for me.
