Extremely weird. Just realized the problem is with my wifi connection. Although I can browse the internet and etc through my wifi, it does not download updates for applications (just updates, not new apps). When I switched to my carrier internet provider, I updated the apps. When I switched back to wifi, no good.

Quick question, if I am running stock 6.0 w/ root. Anyone dirty flash this with no issues?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] derdjango:
Don't do this. Don't try it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
that implies that lightflow is a significant battery consumer which it is not, not saying that you mean it like that but that's how it can be understood by those who don't know, hence the little remark that lightflows battery consumption is negligible.

even though wakelocks are good and necessary, there are hundreds of them which do no harm but their proper job, they have a bad reputation LOL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
It will certainly use more battery if you have it keep you phone awake all the time to turn the led on and off so that you have blinking. It only does that by constantly resetting the status of the led. Not like echoing 1 to the kernels file system is a huge drain... But constantly keeping the phone awake to do that every second or so instead of sleeping will surely be noticed.

I clean flashed the last update, and installed the current gapps, and noticed that in landscape mode the keyboard stayed narrow and only took up part of the bottom of the screen(I know there is a name... But can't remember). Didn't see a way to turn that off, is this just me? Never had that before stock... I installed Google keyboard and its fine, but curious If this was a bug or I missed a setting?

Also, anyone have music player recommendations? I'm tired of good music always wanting to load to radio stations or the like, too many clicks to get to my library... I pretty much always want to tap the widget and go to album view.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
only that it does not keep your phone awake, my awake quote is 0.38% so don't spread info when you don't know what you're talking about.

you certainly don't use lightflow, hence you'd know better and if you don't use it and don't know better don't post for the purpose of opposition only.

and i did not say ZERO i said negligible which means for example 1% battery loss in 10h with lightflow on,

most people don't ever get that without LEDs and much better is not a goal since irrelevant. last but not least

the built in LED when in use uses battery independent on the way they are managed the LED itself uses more juice

than any good app that controls it.

EDIT: that value above is for the nexus 5, for the nexus 6 it's 2-3% in 10hours but not because of lights, same with lightlow in sleep mode, no SIGNIFICANT difference.

you know words like negligible = not zero but not significant are very important hence you have to read and understand them. and then my lights are always on not pulsing

which would use even more power than pulse. i have a setup for pulse with LED-Mixer but then the result is not satisfactory and not worth it, hence a refrain form using

it and stay with the always on setup which produces the results mentioned above when it comes to battery performance.

Hi beans has this now got an update?how do I do it?get it?and join beta cheers
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EvilDobe:
You can do either. The rom comes with it's own kernel. If you want to flash a different kernel you may do that but it is not required.

Flash rom, gapps, kernel(optional), reboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] oldman_58:
Make sure you have not set your home network up in "Network Restrictions" it will restrict data downloads.

go to Settings > Data Usage > click the three dots in to[p right corner and select Network restrictions.

see if your home network has been turned on.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Never dirty flash between ROMs, always clean flash. It may work at first but eventually there will be issues, just save yourself the trouble up front and do the installation right.

Well that post is from July of 2015 when the thread first opened so no, there is no more beta (which was invite only I might add) lol.....

[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
This...

Is totally kernel related...

Don't ask me why... But it is...

I think it has something to do with that wretched BCL throttling... I've noticed that kernels with it disabled... Don't exhibit this issue...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] blackra1n:
Awesome. Thanks! Really looking forward to flashing this :)

Any recommended kernels to install with the ROM?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Lol you are in the wrong thread as this is for the Nexus 6, you want the one for the Nexus 6P.

I usually say unless you need a feature like sweep to wake or something, let the ROM run stock for a bit then flash a kernel if you need/want it.

No smart watch.

Scanning was on. [emoji90]

Thanks for the quick help. [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]

I thought I had turned scanning off previously. I'll be sure to check it when I do the next update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
If you have nothing connected, it is probably a good idea to turn it off. But if scanning is off, it should keep the heavy drain down.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scap99:
I use BT in my vehicles, so leaving it on may be a necessary evil.

I'll see how battery does with the scanning disabled.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamjimmy:
Hi Guys -

Can someone help me with high wifi battery drain. I usually lose almost 2% every hour on wifi. Overnight I lose like 15% within 7 hours, with all the battery consumption coming from wifi. The battery power consumed is some ridiculous number like 1600mah. There is no other apps affecting the battery. Under settings -> battery - almost all of the drain is from wifi.

I've tried the stock and the elite kernel. Both have the same drain. Which leads me to believe it's maybe something in the ROM.

I've put wifi scanning off under location. Is there anything else that I can do? This drain happens both at work and at home which are different wifi networks. If the phone is in LTE or airplane mode, the battery consumption is minimal.

Thanks in advance for the help.

LED for Nexus 6

I see that it says LED control, but I was wondering if that includes the hidden LED in the nexus 6?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
the number of replies could be as many as there are app-blockers in use, hence there is no best and the best for you is the one which meets your requirements and which you like most.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheAceOfSpades:
You could try using the MinMinGuard Xposed module. It allows you to select which particular apps receive the ad blocking.

That's the LED control it's referring to. It's located behind the speaker grill at the top of the phone.

Are these layers apk that need to be installed ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Adreaver:
You could use Tasker, Automate or similar to create an automated task to turn on BT when getting in the car. Alternately, have it turn on, check for devices, and turn off once every 10-15 minutes or so. Third option, buy an NFC sticker and use that as the trigger to turn on BT.

Third option is probably most reliable, and NFC stickers are cheap too.

Elementalx - How get little quickness if I don't losing lil battery

I want get a little bit more snappiness or quickness to my device. I am running current ElementalX as well as the EX Manager. I's mostly default but only changes I've done are based on a video I watched:

CPU gov - elementalz

CPU max/min - default

Read Ahead - 1024

I/O scheduler - fiops

I have great battery but I do not mind loosing some for bit more quickness....pretty much a newbie at this...so can anyone recommend to settings to change so I can play around with to kick it up a notch? If something there is wrong please advise? Asking here since we have Nexus devices and Beans roms to get more direct feedback.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheAceOfSpades:
Did you only notice your heads up notifications disappear after installing light flow? They're still working for me... Have they disappeared from other messaging apps also such as Google Hangouts? I would suggest uninstalling it completely, doing a reboot, and seeing if your notifications are restored.

There are no individual settings I have found within the Google Messenger app that could enable or disable the heads up notifications nor any in system setting either.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

You could always set your governor to Performance mode during those times you wish to kick it up a notch. It sends all cores to maximum frequency and certainly will drain battery.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NITRO_2:
I had the app installed but I disabled light flow service for awhile and just used stock pure nexus notification settings with the heads up notification. This issue began right when I turned back on light flow service. I'll try to uninstalled light flow and see if heads up notification comes back and I'll also check if other apps still have the heads up notification.

Thank you for the help so far

LMT Pie Launcher.

It's a nav bar replacement. Unfortunately, since 5.0, Android no longer allows apps to draw over the lockscreen if they aren't integrated into the system (which LMT is not). So if (for example) my phone rings with the screen off, and I want to get out of the dialer to look something up, I have no home or back button to do so.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamjimmy:
Thanks. I've gone through the link, which is pretty good.

But my battery drain is pretty much all from wifi. I've not been able to find anything just for wifi alone.

I posted here to see whether someone else had the same problem and any suggestions they might have. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
holy sh.....t sorry for the bad read, i will look into that because i'm an LMT user as well, if you want you can send me pm i'm interested in the use case where one could need lmt on the lockscreen, out of curiousity.

now i have a look into it, not sure whether that's possible :) let's see, sorry again, will delete the post, perhaps you delete the quote as well ?

would be nice but no need, just a friendly asking :) :o
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Adreaver:
Done.

Yeah I've been asking in the LMT thread and no such luck there, again, being an app it can't do anything on the lockscreen.

I can work around the limitation by pulling down the status bar and opening settings from there (which prompts me for my pin, as intended), which in turn unlocks the phone and allows LMT to work properly, but this is kinda cumbersome and not ideal by any means.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
if you would use an app like "Lockdown Pro" you could lock your device via that app ( has smart unlock and more ) which would leave the device unlocked except what you want to be locked. i have critical apps locked and those i don't care unlocked.

in short, it's a "per app" locking solution. i know it's not what you were looking for but it could work, there are many possibilities to solve that specific issue. another approach would be to unlock the phone when phone app is open or "in call" via tasker. i had something similar once to substitute smart unlock when connected to a wifi network when the smart unlock feature of android doesn't have wifi connection as a choice, that could work with phone connected instead of WIFI connected, what do you think

the app mentioned above has the wifi smart unlock feature by the way, that alone makes it my favourite lock app and there is more
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
that would look like in the screenshot, for some reason only parts of the navbar are showing, my navbar is immersive ( expanded desktop) but that can be either totally disabled or for the phone app separately. i just swipe up in the phone app to get it showing up.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EvilDobe:
Only read a part of your discussion but did you try moving the LMT stuff/folders into /system/priv-app/ and then rebooting? Might work. .might not.

No, converting to a system app doesn't do it, it needs to be integrated into the rom directly.

Not expecting that to happen (though it would be awesome), hence why I'm looking for the nav bar workaround.

EDIT: ok, already answered, doesn't seem to work :(

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

did you see my screenshot, isn't that what you mean, because if so the tasker solution would work and the app as well of course but tasker would allow for a targeted solution without changing all the rest.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i attached the old WIFI Connected and Disconnected tasker profile.

you'd only have to replace the wifi part with incall ( phone connected instead of wifi connected )

and make the unlock task and you got what you want. unfortunately i only saved the profile

because the task is easy to setup.

those are xml files, had to add .txt to upload them here, simply remove .txt and leave .xml and import them into your tasker app. then add a fake task so that it stays or make the smart unlock task first and then import the profiles and add the tasks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Adreaver:
I don't use Tasker, but Automate has a utility to import from Tasker, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks!

If your done being an asshole, maybe you could actually read the discussion.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65242586&postcount=21229

You replied to a comment DIRECTLY ASKING FOR PULSING. I DIRECTLY commented that the extra power consumption comes from having to stay away to constantly switch the light on and off.

Please, pay attention.

No it does not use more battery. The battery use from powering the LED light is very very minimal. But to turn the light on, or off requires a program to execute a command to "echo 1" to a particular file. For example to turn on the red led you can open a terminal as root and type "echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness" and the red led turns on. To turn off, you do the same command but echo 0.

So turning the LED on takes 1 command, then the system can go back to sleep and the only power drain is the current flow through the LED which is very small.

But to blink, the software controlling the LED needs to stay running, which is the wake lock Nathan is talking about, because the system needs to basically stay away and loop

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness

count down to light off

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness

count down to light on

and repeat to keep the light blinking. This constantly running process of sending a command every second or so is what causes the drain, not the LED.

your excerpt sound very knowledgable and sophisticated it has only one flaw:

those tasks don't use a SIGNIFICANT amount of battery which i told you before. nobody denies that those are needed, never did,

the subject was on battery usage and wakelocks etc,, even though they have a bad reputation, are mostly benign and not very

battery consuming. in amplify one can see tasker and lightflow wakelocks and alarms in the thousands, way on top of the list,

and still battery consumption in mA is negligible because those apps are well coded and the tasks at hand are not

power demanding.

BTW you're on my ignore list now, hence you don't have to worry, i don't reply on quoted text and the rest i will evade me in the future. so long and you're forgiven for the wording, i know too well what i'm not.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
I was talking to the guy who was telling me and you to not talk about things we didn't understand. I wasn't telling you to pay attention I was telling him, because he was bringing a lot of attitude telling us we were wrong and that his solid light causes almost no drain.

Edit: the guy right above me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheAceOfSpades:
It's a single tiny LED? How much more power could it honestly drain from a 3220 mAh battery? I think some testing is in order ::mission::
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
Its not the led. Its switching it on and off every second instead of sleeping. The LED power usage is very minimal. That is why lightflow or the rom's LED controls don't cause much drain. But preventing the phone from ever really idling is going to start having a battery cost.

I am not saying that using lightflow will cause much or any noticeable drain... I am saying having lightflow blink your LED will cause more.

Its the fact that to keep it going on and off, a process has to sit there running writing to the kernels file system every second, so the phone can never enter doze or really idle.
