Ohhohoh hey Nathan nice to see you! No sass? Lolll it's just funny you said that seriously. But yeah idk I sensed a little sass, I could be wrong. And yes that's what I asked... Is it under updating factory image lol? He said it's at the top (where all guides are) And like I said I didn't see where it said "Update Bootloader" ... because it didnt. But yes I'm most appreciative for his guide and most appreciative to you for pointing out where in those posts it was. It didnt say update so i wasnt sure if there maybe wasnt something else you had to do when updating a bootloader as opposed to flashing a bootloader from a factory image, or unlocking a bootloader or w.e, like I said when it comes to this, Im a noob, and like it says noob friendly, so let's just be friendly. But I'm glad you chimed in, good luck nate.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
No sass intended at all. I think you're just reading way too much into it. I told you where to find it, that's it. From memory, I think I may have been in a rush so I just quickly pointed you in the right direction. You're right, there is no specific section for only updating the bootloader, but I figured you might have a look at the guide and find the command (fastboot flash bootloader <filename.img>) fairly easily. You can feel free to ask any question you like in that guide thread too, there are quite a few folks in there answering questions all the time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irish.iolar:
Oh okay great glad to hear, it just seemed like the (where guides always are) thing was a bit of a dig which was odd cause I can see you help a lot of people, and yeah I did find it but like I was saying I wanted to be sure there werent any differences, I just lost my whole SD card and wanted to be extra careful you know? Cool tho and yea I really do appreciate the guides, apologies for veering off topic [emoji51] and thanks again[emoji106]
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Nah I was just letting you know that that's where you'll usually find guides, for future reference. But yeah no probs, glad you got it sorted out in the end!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
A quick question if someone could answer. My 6P was in for repair under warranty and was repaired OK. I have just noticed that the serial and imei numbers are different from what I originally had. The phone is the same device that I sent, I know because of a small bubble under the screen protector. Would it be normal to change these numbers for a repair job? The USB port was faulty and I'm wondering if they replaced the main board. Any ideas? Its just an observation I made this morning. New stickers on the device and the old sticker I have inside my spigen case.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
My guess is that the main board was changed, this would explain having a different IMEI.

Viper4Android Driver Install Loop

Hey guys!

so i've been having this problem in which everytime i install the V4A driver on my nexus 6p and reboot to finish installation it asks me to do it again, i've tried everything, i have my SElinux mode set to permissive, i am running stock marshmallow 6.0.1 and i am rooted, i have busybox installed, i have tried several different Versions of V4A (flashable zips & apk files) and still nothing, i have even tried several rooting methods and different custom ROMs and no luck.

PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY!!

Tried it, no luck :(

i never had any issues with this on devices running normal root, ever since this systemless root thing it's just been frustrating

Ok so i just tried a suggestion online that involves me changing the name of "audio_effects.conf" (System/Vendor/etc) to "audio_effects.conf.bak" and it finally stopped the driver loop and everything is fine but now it's not processing when i plug in my headphones but works fine when i use the phone on speaker LOL

I use root explorer but any file manager app with root access would work. Cut and paste, grant permissions and reboot.

Use this dialer code *#*#34963#*#* to repair a bad activation if you tried to set it up before and are stuck with problems.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Make sure that you disable any equalizer settings in Google Play Music. Also, do the same if you have any other music app, especially PowerAMP.

And yes, thanks for reminding me of the same. System root has a better success ratio for V4A, than Systemless root.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
That I couldn't tell ya. I have had to do this for all the builds of cm I've used. I have not used any cm ROMs in these forums though. Certain devs pre load certain apps and files so it could be something they did or it could be something Google changed with the app itself.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malik Wright:
I've disabled, google play music, i disabled music fx and the eq in poweramp and still nothing, although on previous devices it worked flawlessly with poweramp. this why i hate nexus phones, so tricky to install audio mods on them :mad:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
On the contrary, Nexus devices have the easiest installation method of mods and tweaks. You should see the struggle that Samsung users face while V4A installation. Anyways, that is simply a matter of preferences.

Hey everyone!

My volume rocker isn't as "clicky" as it used to be. It's mainly the volume down side of the rocker. I can't tell if my volume is being decreased unless I have audio playing or if I'm looking at the volume bar going down on my device.

Anyone else having this issue? Seems like a wear and tear type of thing, and I'm wondering if it's worth calling Google to possibly get a repair, or even replacement.

Thanks in advance! :)

EDIT: Very strange but now it has become less clicky on the volume up side, and the volume down is back to being more clicky :/

A little info

Nougat Preview 5

Unlocked & Rooted

T-Mobile..

For some reason I kept losing signal on my data, I kept seeing the exclamation mark. So I deleted all the apn I don't need except for one which T-Mobile GPRS ipv4/ipv6 . Changed it a few times to just Ipv6 and save then

Restart my phone & still got the exclamation mark.

So then I did the *#*#4636#*#* and changed to just LTE Only and then restarted my phone and bam got service but very low Downloads from 8-10mbs only, which is really weird.

Now my question I don't remember what the default setting on the *#*#4636#*#* before changing it to LTE Only.

It had like LTE/hspa/something something.

**Update I'm still on LTE Only**

And at work I only get 8-10mb & at home 20mb flat.

Hi all,

I got a warranty replacement from google today because of a microphone issue. Can I restore a nandroid backup from my old phone onto my new one? If so, what are the steps to make this work? I've never done this and am not sure if encryption makes a difference or anything else. I'm guessing the steps are something like this:

Remove fingerprint security

Boot into TWRP and make a backup of Boot, System, Data,

Copy that backup over to PC

Fire up new phone and go through the startup

Use same password for encryption (is this necessary, and will it ask)?

Unlock the bootloader

Install TWRP

Copy over the backup from PC

Restore that backup

Thanks for any guidance you can give me.

Latest CM13 Release

I bought a Nexus 6P at the start of this year after about 5 years of having an iPhone and fell in love with it within the first week of owning it.

I installed CM13 late March/early April with the release that came out on 19 March. I am now wanting to install the latest release that came out 16th of this month and was following this guide (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928) which is pretty self explanatory. However, after step 2 (updating to the latest custom recovery) I have come to a stop and wondering which steps do I need to follow to update to the latest release from an older release. Seeing as I am not moving from Android stock to custom ROM, do I need to go through each step? I'm happy to go through all the steps if necessary and if that's best practice.

Am I also understanding Step 3 correctly in that I am using TWRP 3.0.2-0 and do not have to complete this step at all?

Sorry for the noob question but I'm still pretty new to the Android scene.

Cheers

Steve
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I'm just curious. You say you flashed CM all ready in the past. So wouldn't you all ready be unlocked with a custom recovery? If you are just updating the recovery image then yeah, you just need to flash twrp3020 and that's it. Make a backup of your current setup and store it in a second location. Then it's up to you if you want to dirty flash or setup clean. Dirty would be not wiping anything and just flashing over the old image so all data is intact. Clean setup is obviously starting from scratch. I do clean installs unless just flashing small incremental updates. But everyone has their own "flashing" religion.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slzihc:
Hi Gizmoe. Thanks for your reply. You're right in that I already had my phone unlocked with a custom recovery. All I have done now is update the version of the custom recovery. I will happily do a clean install as I'm usually a fan of installing something fresh instead.

A few more questions, is step 3 required at all or due to me using twrp3020 this can be skipped? Do I also follow steps 4 & 5 even though I am using a custom ROM or are these only relevant if stock ROM is being used? Finally, am I right in saying that I can stop at step 7 if all I want to do is install a custom ROM?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
They're sections, not steps. You can skip section 3 as it isn't required unless you really want to decrypt. You should make an EFS backup if you don't have one. A nandroid backup is handy to have but not essential.

It's a C type charger so the block has a C input and you get a C-C cable. In the box you get a micro-C adaptor cable. Your best bet is just buying the charger from the Google store.

my 6p shut down due to full battery depletion(first time) and when i charged it and unlocked it with my fingerprint, the screen just stays black and is pretty much unresponsive. most of the time wont show anything for a couple minutes. if you keep pressing the power button, the power off thing will show up on screen although the rest of the screen remains black. had to remove all screen locks to make my phone work, but as soon as i put a pin or even a swipe the phone just wont unlock properly.

tried upgrading to android N, hoping to solve the issues. it wont lag as much, but when it does it becomes totally unusable. ive removed the lock screen so as of now no problems there. but the notification bar will refuses to work otherwise evrything is working fine...

to root or not to root

I have been on completely stock since I got my nexus 6p. I was pretty prolific in customizing my old nexus 5.

Could anyone tell me the pros and cons of rooting for this device?

I plan on getting root stock and maybe install a new kernel. My battery life isn't great and want to know what wakelocks and drain is coming from.

From what I gathered:

Android pay broken upon root

OTA updates will need to be flashed manually?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
This is my perceived list, others may be different:

Pros:

Complete control over your device (can modify pretty much anything - look and feel + under the hood stuff)

Cons:

Loss of Android Pay (I couldn't care less about this)

Manually flashing updates with factory images (I prefer to do this anyways)

Do note that you don't have to root for a custom kernel but you would need root to tweak it after you flash it.

i have seen some with positive feedback regarding your question ( i googled it before i bought this phone, i have mine since yesterday!! purchased the sexy silver)

and so yeah the majority of the 6p users told that it is quite a sensitive phone and the edges chip fairly easily, so i slapped a case on mine day 1, had a Clear Ringke case ordered along with my 6p and a otomon Glass screen protector.

better safe than sorry right?

and also [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] i too have a question ,made a thread got no replies.

is there any way possible to get rid of the automatically lock feature in the 6p..? i really dont like having that feature and i guess the only way to disable it is by not using any security options yes?

i only use security option for the imprint option.. to use the fingerprint to unlock the phone conveniently.

not for personal security ,i never ever lock my phone with any pins/patterns i hate that stuff, i always want my phone to be ready the moment i turn the screen on.

let me know if its possible to remove all the security stuff please, thanks in advance !! (if unencryption is needed for that, i will unencrypt..)
