[Nexus 6 Android Development] relaxable:
I notice same slowdown over time. Maybe not quite as pronounced as your description, but definitely does down.

Now, with the fake update notification, battery is being severely affected.... Latest version of PN is EOL in my mind

....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Magic_Man36:
I did this for myself: I edited build.prop taking into account the last security update on October 5, fixed the build number in accordance with the latest update. At the moment, I do not have a notification about the update and there is no increased battery consumption.

P.S.: I understand that not the best way. But this will give me the opportunity to painlessly survive the waiting period for the new version of Pure Nexus :)

Yeap that's right. Sometimes I look on his github page just to see what kind of development Beans is doing, but I haven't yet seen any work being done on Shamu. Maybe when Beans finishes the work on pixels and 5X and 6P, then he will start working on Shamu again.

Without any official news from Beans, we will never truly know if we are going to get some Oreo goodness or not. If we don't I wouldn't be surprised at all, after all we are still using a 3 year old device :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] peteus:
The only mod that really speed up my Nexus 6 was decreasing resolution of the screen to 720p. Don't dismiss it, aside from being way, way, faster, screen actually looks better, letters are easier to read. Use terminal emulator app manually entering few commands. Google for commands and again, due to 1/4 aspect ratio difference, do 720p, not 1080p. Let me know how it went. Also, this was not tested with other kernels but the one integrated in this room. In addition, use "trimmer" app on weekly basis and Norton cleaner app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esklarski:
I installed the new xposed framework yesterday, and while few modules are currently upadted, everything seems to be working fine with the current version of this rom.

Nice thing was you can download the installer from the official thread, and actually install the framework without going into recovery. I swear the last time that worked was in KitKat.

I'm running the latest PN and I just started getting an upgrade notification how do I shut that down ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wolfballz:
Its been discussed quite a bit about 4-5 pages back but some people have had success with going to settings-developer options-turn off automatic system updates
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ChosenHero4:
People have been recommending going into developer options and unchecking automatic system updates and that sometimes helps, but I have had no luck with that. Search the thread for FOTAKill as well, that is also recommended. I've had no luck with that either. Anyone else have any ideas? I'm close to just blocking all play services notifications as a last straw, but wouldn't it still cause battery drain?

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

What worked for me was going to Settings>>Apps and turning the notifications for Google Play Services on and off, and that made it go away. Not sure about the battery drain though...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Ok so I unchecked automatic system updates in developer options didn't work then i just long pressed on the update notification and moved the importance of the update setting all the way to the left and so far so good that seemed to stop it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lchiu7:
The reason I use Hangouts is it's the only multi-device messaging platform I am aware of. So we can use Hangouts on PC, and multiple Android devices. I hate having to be locked into using only the one device and of course that's usually the phone.

I might try a new reflash of the ROM when I get the chance and install the full GApps package this time to see if it fixes the audio/video issues with both Hangouts and Duo.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
I used TB... Since the notification came from play services, I wiped the data from it and the notification disappeared. It'll probably pop magically inspite of unchecking the automatic upgrade in developer options because its play services that is looking at your firmware
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
No, that's just a rumour.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ECrispy:
Someone help me out - my battery is draining really fast (4-6%/hour with phone idle), I have the latest PN, and I see Android OS keeps the phone awake. I never saw this before and no idea how to fix it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chaos254:
My wife and I use Hangouts with no issues. Audio and video work on both. Both phones are running pure nexus
[Nexus 6 Android Development] boyboyxmen1982:
Is there a way to keep the screen bright when making a call?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LeonDX82:
What did Google do to the keyboard. There is no more long press for punctuation. I have to go into the number tab
[Nexus 6 Android Development] selw0nk:
Go to Gboard settings > Preferences > Long press for symbols check
[Nexus 6 Android Development] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
Make sure the auto update is off under developer settings
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lchiu7:
Good to heard. That means I will try to reflash the ROM and this time see if the full GApps flash okay. Didn't last time.

Is there any difference between restoring default settings from menu, and wiping from twrp?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
First, could you edit your post and remove the quote to the 1st post, please.

Yes, there's a difference.

Restoring default settings just returns the settings menu to default. If you've changed your screen timeout or set a lock screen, then those will be returned to default.

Clearing cache and dalvik in TWRP, are part of a dirty flash and clear all of the cached app data. Not the databases or login info, ect. But the OS builds a cache of information to speed up app performance.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] chaos254:
I used mini dynamic gapps for both. Maybe try that
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ECrispy:
It is, I don't see though how that will help, is it related to battery?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rawhide85:
Would you be so kind as to let us know how to block the dreaded "Couldn't install system update" notification. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lifeofanomad:
Settings---> Notifications---> Google Play services---> Block all (Never show notifications from this app) and make sure it's checked. Clear the notification and there ya go.

I also went into Developer options and unchecked the Automatic system updates option

Hope this is what you were looking for...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
My understanding is it causes the OS to keep looking for an update that'll never come. It's also been suggested to turn off instant teather under settings>Google>instant teathering

Copy that sir. Worked like a charm. Cheers

Major issues while calling

I've installed this ROM on my Nexus 6 sometime mid of August, 2017. Since the beginning the major problem I face is calls --- while making or receiving calls the screen goes blank and just doesn't respond to anything; I have to double click the power button which opens the camera pop up from below - even this is like 5% probability - then I pull down the top menu to hang up. I learnt that a headphone jack "might" ( about 85% chances ) keep the screen on and responsive.

Recently the more problems came up:

- while receiving and/or making calls I hear what the other person says but they hear nothing; I have to do whatsapp calls iff the other person is on it and has internet.

- the headphones do nothing

- the phone randomly starts over heating. I clean everything from RAM and junk with clean master but nothing changes. The battery drains at 1% every 2 minutes in this condition. I end up having to restart or connect to the charger.

The calling and heating issues are happening almost all the time now.

The unresponsive screen itself was a major deal breaker for me, but I finally got the time to post this and I'll revert to stock ROM immediately.

VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Let me guess. You registered an account simply to complain? How sweet.

Had you provided a logcat someone might have been able to assist you in troubleshooting. Instead all you posted is useless static. Based upon the issues you claim to have and based upon personal experience with this ROM, your issues all boil down to user error. Either you didn't follow instructions, or your device has issues. However, my comments are no longer relevant, as you went back to stock. Do us all a favor and stay there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Magic_Man36:
Perfect answer. Moreover, for a long time staying on the Pure Nexus I did not experience any problems. For me, this is the perfect ROM. The last problem with the update notification was solved by myself
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I agree with Strephon, but it would be at least polite of you to follow up by posting your experience with your new stock ROM to say whether these problems persist or not. If they do, please have the decency to admit that your complaints have nothing to do with the ROM. Me, I've had a flawless experience since installing it around the early part of this year.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION]: We'll never hear from him again. He likely can't admit he's wrong because it would damage his ego.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jonchance_84:
Either you dirty flashed on top of an old version based on marshmallow (or older) or you didn't follow instructions. I would at least recommend flashing stock nougat, then root, then recovery, then flash this ROM. Like everyone else said, things one would do if you've done your reading/research. At least the stock image will give you a starting point, baseband, bootloader, etc etc etc.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
I've actually been having some of the issues Srakd is having but not to the extent he is. My biggest issue has been battery drain and the phone getting these bouts of hanging/laggyness. Phone gets randomly hot in my pocket too. I've tried different setting, Kernel's etc...

It's totally manageable though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fegone:
Hey guys, I finally replaced my shamu screen, now rocking the latest PN build. Also many thanks to BeanTowns106 and all the participants in this thread! I got question : I would like to have snapchat working and also disable the vibration. So at this moment I have franco kernel, plus his app so I can disable the vibration (yep, it bother me a lot, a kind of OCD) but then I can't unroot to have snapchat, because I will loose the "turn off vibration" feature.... Any help?

Android System Update?

Have the Pure Nexus 7.1.2-20170725-OFFICIAL installed. (I'm lovin' it) But in the notification bar I am experiencing the Android System Update nag on a constant basis for the last ~2 months. Where in the root file tree is the updater located and can it be deleted?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
Go back from the following quoted post and read forward. You'll find a variety of solutions.

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I've been waiting for someone to offer help, or for a further update from you.

Have you installed the latest TWRP recovery 3.1.1.0? If not, please do so.

Then:

- Advanced TWRP wipe of everything except Internal data - system, cache, data (not internal), Dalvik.

- Install ROM.

- Install custom kernel (optional - the ROM kernel is fine unless there are specific features that you really need, such as double-tap to wake as I have with ElementalX).

- Install root if you need it.

So were these the steps you followed in that order? I ask because I've done this many times, and I have made it a practice to do it in the order above, whereas you say you installed the kernel and then the ROM. I've been told that modern custom kernels are resistant to overwriting, but from my simple point of view if you install a custom kernel and then install a ROM, then that ROM's kernel will overwrite the custom one. I'm also not sure if "formatting the phone" is the same as the advanced wipe - I have a vague memory of reading that a format doesn't do the complete job.

Do it as I've described and then let us know whether you're still unhappy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gysper:
I had the same issue not just this ROM. All comes down to whether there's a bluetooth/ app drain. Need to use a app like betterbatterystats to get more info.

When the phone gets hot, it's also usually an app that's running in the background. Bear in mind that it could also be related to the kernel. I never had these issues because I always run it on stock kernel.

So to me I hope that when people have problems they post more details rather then something is wrong. How can we help if we just blantently said something's wrong with no details. Just saying I'm having an issue but not providing information means it'll take longer to solve it. For instance, post above me we're just now asking what we did. Providing this prior will speed the process and we would have a much smaller thread :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
Honestly I'm not too worried about it, I'm holding out for a decent oreo ROM. I'm most likely going to end up dumping AT&T and jumping on Verizon so that I can pick up the new Pixel 2 anyway.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Be carful, like the Pixel XL, the Pixel 2's at Verizon may have an unlockable bootloader. Better buy your Pixel 2 directly from Google.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jaimesilva:
Because of the "can't update" notification I decided to try another ROMs (have only used PureNexus since I bought my N6 almost 2 years ago). Installed Lineage but I'm not liking it, has bloatware and (I didn't knew) is the new CyanogenMod (I dislike Cyanogen, ROM and company). Now I'll try Slim7, I liked Slim a lot on my old LG E970.

However its been only about 8 hours and I'm really missing PureNexus. Are there plans for an October security patch version? Have been looking for news about it on the thread and can't find them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Beans is working on bringing up Android 8, so we are collectively in a holding pattern here. I personally wasn't in the mood to wait, so until Pure Nexus Android 8 is released, I installed Validus ROM. It was the most bug free Android 8 ROM I found, though I did replace the kernel with the one from Republic of Madness as RoM ROM (heh) has quick charging not present in the Validus alpha.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wally897:
No update

I tired both clean and dirty. Downloaded gapps and the latest pure nexus. Im currentlt on 6. I just keep getting stuck on the google logo loop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You MUST clean install when changing Android versions (e.g. Android 6.x to 7.x). The logo "bootloop" isn't a bootloop, but Android readying files in the background. So, when you see that screen, be patient as it can take some time to finish.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
You need to upgrade your bootloader to current. You can't use the MM bootloader on N.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] internetpilot:
I'm running LineageOS on several devices, including my Nexus 6 (just until PN Oreo is released). I use a debloat script to remove all the CM/LOS apps, and it works like a charm. LOS is the most frequently updated ROM for the Nexus 6, and it's about as stable as a ROM is going to get. So if your goal is to stay updated with security patches, it's probably your best bet. The Nexus 6 is just getting too old so development has already started slowing down. We're lucky that Beans is still supporting it, especially with Oreo.

Here's the debloat script thread here on XDA:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/lineageos-debloat-script-t3546519

Yes, I know it's from the Oneplus-One forum, but I'm pretty sure the script works across all devices. It definitely works on the Nexus 6. FYI, it survives dirty flashes, so you won't have to run it for updates unless you do another clean install.

Sorry for the off-topic, but I suspect a lot of N6 owners are using LOS while waiting for PureNexus Oreo, so... ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Schiben:
Does Beans have a Beta testing group or anything? I still find myself going back to PN after trying several other ROMs (I know they're Alpha or Beta). No offense against anyone else, they are doing good work (I don't know dev work).

KRACK WPA2 Exploit on PN 7.1.2

Quick question regarding the recent WPA2 WiFi exploit. Since we're waiting on Oreo and we've stopped getting security updates, is Pure Nexus currently vulnerable to KRACK? If so, is there another ROM I can switch to while we wait for Oreo?

Yes. LineageOS. They announced yesterday that all future (from the time of the announcement) official builds will have the patch included.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Then search both this thread and Google+ at the link given at the top of the page. It has been mentioned in both places by him or by people closely associated with him that the Nexus 6 is still being worked on, because he still has the device.

My speculation is that he's working on the 64-bit devices first, and then will work on this device. That said, if you or anyone else isn't willing to wait, there are Android 8 ROMs out there. Pick one and use it until Pure Nexus is ready.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
Unfortunately if I want to buy directly from Google I have to pay the full cost out of pocket which there's no way in hell I can afford to do that. I mean I'm still trying to scrape together the money to get the Nexus 6P! [emoji14]

Yeah I applied for Google's financing and got denied for both the Nexus 6P and Pixel.

Verizon wants a $300 deposit from me which I can probably swing the $300 and the monthly payments wouldn't be a problem but coming up with almost $1,000 in one chunk, not going to happen. Im a poor college student!

And while it'll get me slammed for saying it; I truly don't understand why people install custom ROMs or whatever and don't stay current with the related support threads to know about stuff before it's a problem. This was identified shortly after the last release.
