I believe that gps will work just fine on a custom kernel. I am not 100% sure but I have no GPS issues using LTE and GPS on despair kernel...
[Nexus 6  General] uicnren:
It didnt 'slip through' it is a listed known issue.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Ok, but why release it knowing that such a vital piece is broken, I guess is my question?
[Nexus 6  General] uicnren:
Why not?

Its a developer preview, not retail software.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Well I get that, but still, if you want people to test it out and use it and provide feedback, why not at least make sure the basics are working?

I mean, wouldn't people find it off if the new version didn't have audio working, or no BT, etc? LOL
[Nexus 6  General] NotATreoFan:
In the grand scheme of things, for a developer preview at least, borked GPS is quite minor. And since I'm also not having any issues with GPS on LTE (Elite kernel), that actually helps point to kernel code being responsible. Should be a relatively simple fix.
[Nexus 6  General] uicnren:
Well, its not meant for 'people', its meant for developers to test their software against.

Its made available to the public 'as is', most will use and never report a bug, so its of no real value to Google in the hands of 'people'. Unless of course they allow it to send reports back to Google.

Of course some things wont work, which is why there is a list of known issues. It changes with every iteration.
[Nexus 6  General] justibasa:
I have downloaded a couple of the no force encrypt kernels that have been listed in this thread and they have all come up as corrupt and I was wondering if there is one that is not corrupt. would really appreciate this. I did try to flash through adb and no luck.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Yeah, I guess. I want to run it, just because, but in reality the current Lollipop runs so well and everything works, so other than a few cosmetic changes, Android M doesn't have too much new to offer, at least not enough to make it worth it considering the few bugs it has...

When is the final release slated, realistically? October?
[Nexus 6  General] draiko913:
I'm not entirely sure it's a hardware problem. It has never happened running 5.1 or 5.1.1, only time I've had an issue is running M preview builds.
[Nexus 6  General] ptesmoke:
I had the issue once in a while on stock 5.1, if I ran chroma with lean kernel I never had the issue, anything else it popped its head up again. I called moto and they confirmed on the phone with me it was in fact a known hardware defect and rma the device.
[Nexus 6  General] Brotuck:
GPS and 4G are working fine. I did flash the second preview build version 3 (mpa44i). Not sure if that matters.

Screen on time about 4 hours now with 27% left

Very happy with this build

dose any one have problem with sms

in messenger and hangouts if i delete any message it comes back again

+ in messenger new messages disappear
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
That most likely does matter as it doesn't work well with p3-1. I'll be flashing when I get home
[Nexus 6  General] NotATreoFan:
I'm using Messenger without issue. But I did see someone earlier report that messages deleted in Hangouts were coming back.

Look at that movie. It's a new Nexus 5 presentation. Look at the date on the screen. Tuesday September 8th. O think it's a release date of new device and Android 6
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
will i fix it

it sames the messenger app that come pre installed in mpa44g is corrupted in some way

and if you update to mpa44i the corruption remain

to fix it just (root uninstall) the messenger app

then reboot and install it from the store again
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
I took the OTA to MPA44I and my messages are not showing up in messenger or in Hangouts when set to SMS. I'm gonna just roll back to 5.1.1 and wait for the official OTAs, I'm done trying Marshmallow especially since we still don't have Now on Tap.

I'm on 44I everything is working as it should. GPS location while on LTE works good. All of the other issues with previous builds are gone. This will be my daily until final release. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
To bad both videos are cgi, and the 8th is the day before the iPhone 6s is announced according to sources, I'll believe this with more concrete evidence. I'm also having a hard time that the nexus 6 would come in champagne and model after an iPhone. Maybe in China. But Google would not allow it
[Nexus 6  General] NotATreoFan:
Bump, anyone?

I've tried Play Music and YouTube, they normally work with V4A on 5.1.1.
[Nexus 6  General] darkstar73:
V4A is working for me on M Preview 3. I'm on ElementalX 2.02. These are the steps I took to get it working:

1. Flashed this first - https://www.dropbox.com/s/3voqv2m3ou486r5/V4a-permissive-fix.zip?dl=0

2. Flashed the AIO fix zip.

3. Rebooted phone.

4. Manually intalled ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk.

5. Moved from data/app to system/priv-app.

6. Rebooted phone.

7. Profit

Anyone having issues with recorded video playback? I recorded few videos and whenever I play them, I only get the audio with a black screen.

It seems like it's only when I set it to UHD 4K resolution. It's working on 1080p.

crap like google releasing developer previews not only to the public, but making them available as an ota to make it even more accessible? some people need to take a long, hard look at their life...

Anyone on Sprint having issues sending SMS messages?
[Nexus 6  General] Nikos_s3:
ok, I am sure it's been answered but after I clean flashed the preview 3, my phone is listed as a 32GB instead of 64GB...I thought a factory reset would do the trick, but unfortunately it did not. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 6  General] KerryWood34:
Does anybody know how to turn off the safe headset volume "feature"? As soon as I start playing music via a line in cable in my car and turn the volume all the way up on my phone and high on my car stereo the phone automatically turns the volume down 2 or 3 steps. Before you say just turn the phone down and the car stereo up let me just say that my car stereo is as high as it will go (31) and I still can't hear songs with the windows down. (Nissan 2003 Pathfinder so probably old stereo)
[Nexus 6  General] wazza1991:
Try wiping data and cache again from the recovery. I always have that problem after installing dev preview. Doing this will fix it.

thanks guys...I wiped userdata and cache from adb and now it seems fine...though I had to set it up all from scratch..:p
[Nexus 6  General] pony182:
I had that problem too. I force stopped Google play store, went back in and now it works fine.

It seems though that I can't update Google play games. It looks like it's trying to update to an older version than which I already have, giving me -504 error.
[Nexus 6  General] geekabilly:
No back button problems for me, but seeing the same problem with GGames
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
I had the same issue as you. I could not get any messages to send in Messenger at all. In Hangouts I could send and receive, but after awhile they would disappear. I ending up downloading Textra and I am now not having any issues.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Yes I was after the OTA from M2 to M3 with both Messenger and Hangouts so I installed Textra and now I am having no issues.
[Nexus 6  General] TheDylantula:
I just rebooted into safe mode once and that fixed it.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
The fact that the ok google from sleep doesn't work in the preview makes me think the new nexus phones won't have that feature and that it's specific to the moto nexus. The only non moto phone that I've seen enable it, is the samsung phones but through a few changes and I'm not sure it works that well since I've only seen youtube demos. OR am I wrong that it DOES work in the preview now? I know it didn't work in preview 1.
[Nexus 6  General] KerryWood34:
Just enabled it now on Developer Preview 3 and it works from sleep. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:
So apparently I just learned something the hard way. Installed preview 3, tried to root and do recovery. I am now getting the error the red exclamation point showing that something is corrupted. Any thoughts on how to get rid of it? I tried to downgrade to 5.1.1 with no success. So back to the preview with the error.
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
go back to 5.1.1 and wipe the whole tablet using the recovery menu. that's what I did anyway and it's gone.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
without being on the charger??
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:
I think where I am getting hung up on this error, I get this when trying to run the fastboot erase boot command. But my phone is oem unlocked everywhere I can look....

(bootloader) Erase allowed in unlocked state

When I install M it, comes back immediately just flashing the image with no root.
[Nexus 6  General] KerryWood34:
Yup. Works both ways. I thought that only applied to the Nexus 5...?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Awesome! time to re-flash Android M. It didn't work in the preview 1. I use it a lot and the always listening wasn't working so I went back to lollipop. preview 2 didn't appear to have it either.
[Nexus 6  General] zapote21:
So flashed the preview, got root, all is well... Except I am trying to copy a ringtone to system, media, audio, ringtones and it fails because no file explorer app can switch it r/w It remains at r/o. Root explorer has always been able to do the copy by switching it to r/w but not anymore... Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
Go to the elite kernel thread you will get the answer.
[Nexus 6  General] pony182:
Except that setting alarm while screen is locked is messed up again. It will just say "setting alarm" and won't do anything unless you tap the button to confirm. I had this issue for the longest time and just recently it started working on Lollipop, but now on DP3 it's messed up again.... sigh.

edit: it seems that it works as it supposed to work when plugged in. However, as soon as I unplug it, screen locked, screen off, it won't set my alarm without physically touching the button.
[Nexus 6  General] mindfever91:
I don't know if it's just my device, but can anyone confirm a bug in the stock Messenger app where an SMS gets deleted automatically when viewed? It gets received and when you open Messenger from the lockscreen notification, the SMS just disappears from the list. I just tested this with both Messenger and Hangouts set as standard SMS app and it didn't happen with Hangouts.
[Nexus 6  General] mattjuk:
I have the same issue just install textra and all will be good again [emoji3]
[Nexus 6  General] mindfever91:
Thanks, glad to know I'm not alone! I will stick to Hangouts for now though, I'm not a fan of installing third party applications that do the same thing as already existing ones.

So this bootloader is downgradeable unlike going from 5.1 to 5.0
[Nexus 6  General] motoridersd:
I'm not sure, it should be, since it's a developer preview. Why would having a newer bootloader be a problem? You can flash any factory image even if your bootloader is newer.

So if we flash the preview we are stuck with it? I'm asking a lot of questions, I'm new to nexus
[Nexus 6  General] Lootes:
You are not stuck with it, you can always follow the same process and flash 5.1.1 back onto it.
[Nexus 6  General] cammykool:
added screenshots to OP.
[Nexus 6  General] yankeesfan714:
I ask because I know downgrading bootloaders is no no. But today I'm seeing some people say its OK some people saying no. Is it OK to downgrade because its a developer preview?
[Nexus 6  General] Lootes:
Others can correct me if I am wrong here, but I believe the no no only applies to downgrading the bootloader only. If you are flashing the entire package, system, boot, etc. then you are okay. radio is a little more forgivable in terms of not matching the package. But I try to keep it all in sync.
[Nexus 6  General] dodgebizkit:

When you initially set a lock pattern or pin it gives a secondary option asking if you would like to require the pin/pattern to boot the device, you can choose yes or no. It's not a bug.

I just took a 30 second closeup video with a good amount of movement. I don't want to speak too soon, but it appears to be almost flawless. It adjusted focus 1 time, and it was a very minor tweak, nothing like the old bug where it would totally detract and zoom all the way back to the previous focus. This was a huge annoyance for me. Input from others would be great here to, since different conditions yield different results.

I have Nexus 6 and I'm on T-Mobile and SMS works fine, just like everything else except for google play games not updating (which is minor issue) and Google Now set alarm using voice won't work when the screen is off (i have to manually hit the "set clock button" after google tells me that it's setting alarm). Today I noticed, that when watching youtube video in full screen, the video will switch upside down and won't go back until I hit the back button to go back to portrait and then switch to landscape again. No biggie. Battery life is much better compared to lollipop, dp2. For the record, I did fresh install, and after that factory reset.
[Nexus 6  General] teinwhite:

With time you will find that here on Xda some people get double the battery life of us, simple mortals. Off course that isn't with normal use and is made with a very specific use of the smartphone, just with the purpose of getting a little bigger xda epenis and some attention.

Welcome to the Internet.
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
Did that, rebooted and score.... Withing so far with stock tethering!
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
High SOT's are very very easy to get. Just stay on WiFi or put it in airplane mode and do super light duty tasks that don't require use of the radio or high CPU frequencies, like watch movies or read a book you've downloaded onto the device at low brightness. Those are basically like leaving the screen on and not doing anything.

Example: I watched movies nonstop on my Nexus 6 on the plane during a recent trip and got like 7 hours of SOT with ~30% left. I was in airplane mode the whole time, screen at like 10% brightness, I use a custom kernel with tweaks for battery life, Greenify, Amplify, etc.

Back on topic: I flashed M preview 3 and it was very nice. Everything was smooth and worked great, except for one thing: Xposed. I love Xposed and cannot live without it. Once M is released I will look into updating Xposed for M (with rovo89's permission, of course), if someone doesn't beat me to it....

For those keeping track of what apps work and what dont, the Microsoft Health app (used to interact with the Microsoft Band) is not working on Preview 3. Didnt work on Preview 2 as well. Not sure about Preview 1.

Does Google play games app update for anyone, keep getting error...
[Nexus 6  General] ColdEmbrace:

[Nexus 6  General] wazza1991:
That screen on time was under normal use! Google now turned on. Location on battery saving, location history turned on, adaptive brightness turned on and set to around 40%, ambient display turned on. The apps I used were: lots and lots of Facebook and WhatsApp, watched YouTube videos on 720p for more than an hour, little snapchat, Instagram and xda app.

When I was on 5.1 I was using ambient display and adaptive brightness was turned off. The standby time wasn't good. After I turned on adaptive brightness too then my standby time improved a lot. So maybe things like these got me better battery life.

And also I switch to 2g network when I'm on WiFi and this usage was on WiFi. As you can see in the screenshot airplane mode wasn't used! And I do use greenify for xda, snapchat and Instagram.

So this was under normal usage. And I might not get the same SOT again but I get over 6 hours every time so this is under normal usage whether you believe it or not! :thumbup::)
