OK this is driving me crazy. HOW THE HELL do you disable or stop this "Screen Recording" crap that is baked into this ROM LOL!

About once a week I discover I have something called "Screen Recoding" on. Tonight I've been recording for over 3 hours it seems and now my battery is dead almost.

I dont have anything ON the screen that I'm clicking. This happens often and i dont know what triggers it.

I have a stop button but it doesn't do anything, I have to do a hard restart to stop it.

thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scram99:
Ha! I remember the same exact thing happening to me a month or so ago! I was like, how the heck did that start recording? It won't stop!

Had to reboot to stop it and fortunately hasn't happened again. Dunno how to stop it but I figured you'd like to know I've experienced the issue also.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] deadcatsrule:
Try settings/Purenexus/power menu/ uncheck screen record
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Frag1le:
And you can usually stop it in the notification (pulldown).

I also once got it started recording without having that toggle for the power menu enabled, but i could stop it from notification.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You can also stop it by pressing the button combo that starts it, Power and Volume Up. Though in my case it happens because I hit the wrong volume button when taking a screen shot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
So that's how it's getting started, a key combination? Interesting! I definitely do not have screen recording set on the power menu.

As far as stopping at from the notification menu, I've had this exact same thing happen probably a dozen times now and the stop button is absolutely non-functioning in my case. Once screen recording starts the only way for me to stop it is to hold the power button down until the phone cycles as it will literally run for hours otherwise...

I will have to play around with key combinations and see if I can get it to start and stop. Thank you.

Okay I've got another quick one that I need help with. I have the newest version of pure Nexus and the Android phone app is updated to the newest version. I literally cannot find call blocking. I have numbers that keep calling and calling and calling and I cannot figure out how to block them anymore. Every tutorial that I read online what it tells me to do is missing. Has call blocking been removed?

Check that the phone app is set as default (settings -> apps -> gear at top, right -> phone)

Help...

Hi, when I make an outgoing call or an incoming call, when I press the answer, the screen turns off immediately so the screen does not light up to turn off the call, a while after the screen lights up again. , being so very upset. Not sure if the machine is damaged Proximity sensor or not. Everyone has any way to fix it. I am on PureNexus 7.1.2_r24 25/07/2017. Thank you.

I have LOS on my phone now, and I've started seeing really bad battery life with Android system keeping phone awake for hours, I have no idea why or how to fix this. I honestly just want to flash PN or anorher 'simple' rom, but then I keep hearing about Oreo coming real soon, and I don't want any of the unfinished Oreo roms.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
Phones been janky lately and I was about to reflash PN but if Oreo it's coming soon I might just wait!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] samoht76:
After 9 month on PN, I did the same last week because of the September-Security-Patches. After a few days I've seen the same problem with battery-drain. Also LOS isn't so smooth like PN. Switched back to PN and searched around. On Saturday I've seen the ParanoidAndroid thread and give that ROM a chance. ROM's nice, battery for the first days ok.

But, I'm also waiting for the Oreo release of PN. And than, as Arny says: I'll be back . :)

Bean, fantastic job on this ROM. :good: :good: :good:

Haha, me too! someone needs to make a mod and have that as an animation + sound when you shut off or reboot the phone :D How about it devs (j/k) ?

Problems with video calling Hangouts and Duo

Up till now had never tried video calling on this ROM (7/2017) since it was my spare phone and I only used it for email and watching local videos and Youtube.

Then my son needed a replacement phone (his Nexus 5x had developed the infamous bootloop problem) and tonight we tried to make a Duo call. I can call him and I hear the Duo calling tone. But when he answers there is no audio or video and the N6 is really laggy.

We then tried with Hangouts Video and it's the same. The call completes but there is no audio or video.

The ROM is not rooted, it's basic vanilla as per the original link at the top of the thread.

Searched in this thread but cannot find anybody else who has had this problems. Certainly with stock Android video was fine so it must be either this ROM or a setting I have not made in the ROM.

Any ideas or pointers to a fix would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MariuxReloaded:
It has appeared to me, too, but now it's gone :confused:

Just clean flash once again.

I've gotta say I've experienced the same with Hangouts (can't get people to DL Duo). I always thought it was the service/app that was sucking.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] subsessa:
PN has best battery life.

I've tried others like LOS, OctOS, Nitrogen, Ressurection and flashed Stock once lol.

None of them can be compared in battery life.

Search
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
My rant for the day. Ban me, I don't care. I am sick of condescending people saying " search" or " Use the search button". I did search. I did search a freakin lot. If all you have to say is search, dont say anything because you look like a condescending idiot. I've helped many online with issues, and I didn't care about the level of competence, but I'm sick of know-it-alls and their self righteous attitudes saying "search". If you can't help, don't. If you can, please. Otherwise, shut up!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] selw0nk:
Make sure your phone is set as default. Settings > apps > gear button > Phone app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Thank you for trying to help. I just loaded PN one week ago. I only have one phone app that does not allow for default in the settings. I came from nexus 5. It had call block and it was obvious. I think an update to dialer changed the available settings.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jwrezz:
There are two phone apps both from Google. One is aosp phone, one is the Google or Nexus phone. Beans took a vote last time but some people may still have the aosp version.

Can you share your settings, etc.? I also have PN with Franco, and my battery life is 1/3 of this. I know battery life depends on usage factors, SOT, etc. Would love to get even 20 hrs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
I would encourage you to head over the Franco thread for kernel related help. I use the Franco app as well. There are battery settings that I adjust through the app. Only one I don't really change is turning sync off, I do leave that on. Keep in mind you might also have a battery that is clinging to life
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MaxPower742:
Turning off "ambient display" seems to have no effect, is this a known issue?

For every notification my screen turns on. When I searched this thread, every answer blames "gestures", but this happens when I'm not touching the phone. Also I have the gestures features turned off.

I don't think there aren't any. I checked before when I flashed the rom and no luck.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lchiu7:
While Duo is an acquired taste, I can't believe nobody in this tread uses Hangouts video.

As for Duo, I like it a lot since it enables you to have video calls with the phone in landscape mode. I can't bear portrait video.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NemoKOF:
I'm trying that. I even bought that tool sometime ago. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] relaxable:
Doesn't work. The damn update notification won't go away with system update in developer options disabled, and this notification type does not have option to disable (says it is from Google play services which i think was recently Updated automatically by Google)- i think the disable services type app is only option other than not letting Google play services run or update
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Magic_Man36:
I did it differently. I pushed the notice aside. Clicked the six and turned off the Google Play Services notification in the settings
[Nexus 6 Android Development] relaxable:
Ok, my situation: i had power notifications control option set on in media and notifications section of PN settings. With this on, unable to select any notification level, or unable to turn notifications off, for play services. By turning power notifications control OFF, can disable notifications for Google play services.

Since this notification started about (phantom) system update, my battery life has gone from good to horrible. Based on past experience, my guess is the new Google play services is "not compatible" with this rom, and this is going to be such a problem need to stop using all Google stuff or move to a different rom until/if PN is updated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] life_speed@yahoo.com:
This doesn't stop notifications on PN 7.1.2-2017-06-12-OFFICIAL. Notifications can be stopped by disabling all notifications from Google Play Services, but that is a brute force approach that also stops notifications I still want to receive, like app updates.

Is there really no fix for this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FReaX908:
Regarding turning off system update notification....

Just put the FOTAKill.apk in system/priv-app with permissions 644. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot, that's it. Works for me! (Maybe update notification appears after first reboot, just wait or swipe it away)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gs_1:
Go to Developer options and turn off Automatic system updates. It worked for me

If you have a link could you please post it? I've been watching the link provided in the changelog page, but Nate doesn't seem to have posted anything there since the announcement of the latest version on 25th July, so maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
I'm also looking for the link with Nates up to date comments ??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The announcement at the top of the page has the Google+ link. Currently there is no new information posted on Google+ regarding Pure Nexus running Android 8.0. I do know that work is progressing, as there have been recent changes made on Github. However, I expect the 64-bit devices are Beans' first priority, even though he still has his Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RayEdmondson:
People forget that this is not a full time job for Nate. I'm still perfectly happy with the July build and will patiently wait for Oreo.

Since it appeared the update notification failed on my Nexus 6 I have exaggerated consumption on bluetooth. Every night I have the phone drain with battery statistics with at least 60% usage by bluetooth. What is Google doing with Play Services?

IMEI problem

Hi guys,

I flash the purenexus rom on my nexus 6, but I can't connect to my mobile network. At first, I thought it was a problem with my sim card, so I ordered a new one. I got the same problem.

Next, I tried to find what's going on and I think I found: it's an IMEI problem.

When I dial *#06# or when I check Settings – System – About device – Status: the IMEI is just: 0 !

Someone had the same problem or know how to solve it ? I'm a bit scarred :( How I can recover my IMEI ?

Hopefully, the IMEI number of my phone is printed on a small sticker attached to the SIM tray, but how to replace it into my phone ?

Any advices are strongly welcome !

Thanks

[Nexus 6 Android Development] tperki:
I don't think the IMEI is part of the sim or sim tray, it is embedded inside the phone. Mine was also on the box I received the phone in (it's not something you can change). I am assuming your phone worked with your network before, with the factory rom? Did you do a clean flash to PN the first time, maybe that could be an issue. If not, then read on.

Someone might have a more sophisticated way of troubleshooting this, but personally I would reflash the phone back to factory with the latest OTA, full clean install, not a dirty flash. The latest is actually October 2017, for some reason Google issued one for N6. Then reconfirm that your sim works with the factory rom. If it does, then I would flash Pure Nexus and Beans apps and root of choice. Then finally a kernel if you so choose. If it doesn't work, then the culprit is elsewhere - I don't think it is related to PN.

Good luck.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The IMEI is stored in a hidden partition of the internal storage. However, the SIM tray does have a label with the IMEI printed on it.

Agreed that this isn't a Pure Nexus issue.

Rots of ruck - no results search for IMEI in that thread.

Probably a service center that can restore the hidden partition as [MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION] states is your only solution. I spent 15+ years as a cell phone tech in the 1980's - 90's, so I know a thing or two about flashing / restoring "hidden" firmware.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jujuwiwi:
In fact, I bought my nexus 6 from aliexpress and I received the phone already rooted with TWRP (in Chinese) and the AppHider app (com.thinkyeah.apphider) installed. The purpose of this application is to hide some other applications on the phone.

For me, it was a security problem... I need to know what is running on my phone. I asked the password to enter in this application, but the seller told me he didn't have the password...

So I directly flash the phone without trying to put my SIM card.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arealcoolhand:
Thank you! I tried everything else suggested and this is the only one that worked. Had been noticing battery drain so curious to confirm if it was related to the "update."

Without fail, my phone gets slow after some time on a new ROM version, usually two months or so. I've been on the 7/25 build since the day it came out and after some time the phone was getting close to unusable. It's been the same on any ROM version I used long enough to allow it to happen. Photos and trying to use a camera was always a guess whether it would work at all. Apps and typing were very laggy most of the time and some things just wouldn't execute at all.

I cleared up all the space on my device I could and there's plenty available. I delete all the apps I don't use. I cleared the device cache and Davlik via TWRP, used Titanium Backup to clear cache, and used the default clear app cache setting. Nothing seemed to improve the device. I finally got frustrated enough that I just flashed a new kernel to see if it might help. I flashed Franco and the phone came back to life. It's like it was when I flashed the ROM initially.

I know the ROM was great when I first clean flashed it, so I know it's not a problem with the ROM, per se. But what causes a device to get slow over time when I'm doing everything I can to keep it fast? And what would flashing a kernel do to fix that? Is there anything else I can do when it happens in the future?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lchiu7:
Answering my question with a question. I just realised to get the ROM installed I had to install the mini GAPPS rather than the full. The full ones would cause the phone to never be able to register with a Google account. Does only installing the min Gapps versus full, even though Hangouts has been downloaded since then, be the issue why Hangouts voice/video and Duo video don't work?

I am surprised nobody else in this thread has not either experienced Hangouts voice/video working or not given we are a Nexus fan group :o
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Some of us despise Hangouts and disable it at the first available moment. FYI, no issues with the full GApps package here.
