Hi guys, I've googled it but I don't seem to find any solution so I came here.

Could anyone be kind enough to tell me how to turn off heads-up notifications on Android O? With nougat you just had to turn on system ui but seems with oreo it's not that straightforward

what is the boot screen called where I get the Google "security could not be verified" or some such thing screen ?

Is that something I can replace or stop from appearing ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
When the bootloader is unlocked you will always have that warning. It's a security warning.

Nexus 6P - Time for Complete Rehaul - Best Method?

Wassup guys long time no chat.

I had rooted my 6P a while ago following suggestions here, and it was all good for a while but after a recent Android update that was able to take and execute, the phone has become problematic... if interested:

Random reboots a few times a month

Random freezes where I have to wait a while to basically reboot

Really slow response to everything on the phone

Crazy Swype, where most of the time using my finger is basically useless, characters jumping all over the place... with a stylus, a little better

Google voice typing only does it in German (no matter what settings I have on!)

ES File app consistently pops up with too many processes running and shutting them down seems only temp at best

Battery life down to sh$#... without even playing any games, battery life is reduced to less than 2 hours

So unless someone knows of an easy fix for this, I think it is time for a redo. So what is the best process between these options:

(FYI I have am app called Jit Recorder that does a great job of recording calls that I need for various reasons... it is not life critical I use the app but it does need root)

Forget Jit, get a crappy but working call recorder that doesnt need root and just wipe and start over

Unroot, update, and then root phone again

Backup (whats better, Titanium Pro or just the Google auto-restore when you reboot into a clean phone again? I have both but doesnt only Tit backup all your settings as well?), wipe everything on the phone, install stock or custom ROM after rooting, and then start all over

For the 6P, is it worth installing a custom ROM, or is stock really good enough?

Is there any downside to rooting?

Sorry for the plethora of queries but I rather just get this done with one clean swipe.

Thanks!

My Nexus 6P can boot into bootloader.

However, It cannot boot up normally, looping at the 'Google' logo screen.

I flashed the stock image of Oreo or Nougat. But it did not boot up.

What should I do to make the phone work again?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
So what did you flash? Nougat or Oreo? Have you tried again to flash the stock images? How are you flashing them? Individually or using the flashall.bat script. You need to supply more information if you want help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynsx:
1st, my 6P had BLOD one day, with stock Nougat through OTA update. I found that there is a new Oreo on google website. Then I installed the stock Oreo (Aug 2017) image with the flash-all.bat provided (All subsequent flash of stock image was completed by this command). It booted up.

2nd, I flashed twrp, backed up EFS. I flashed the modified boot.img to use 4 cores only according to the steps mentioned on the post '[Guide] Fix for Nexus 6P Bootloop of death | 8/22 - Android O Working by XCnathan32'. But it could not boot up.

3rd, I flashed the stock Oreo (Aug 2017) image again. It booted up.

4th, I went for another approach mentioned on the post '[Guide] Fix for Nexus 6P Bootloop of death | 8/22 - Android O Working by XCnathan32', the step 4 of How to apply the fix, 'With the new EX zip, you shouldn't need to flash the boot.img anymore, you can just flash twrp, and then flash EX in twrp.' I flashed the modified twrp and EX kernel. But my 6P stayed at the boot animation for more than 30 minutes and failed to boot up. I repeated this once again, still no luck.

5th, I flashed the stock Oreo (Sept 2017) image. It booted up.

6th, I gave some days for it to work without any BLOD fix and hoped I had good luck. BLOD came again several days later and I waited for 1 or 2 hours until I could boot into bootloader again.

7th, I read the post of '[ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 for Nexus 6P (angler)'. I downloaded the stock Nougat N2G48C (August 2017) image. I wanted to go back to stock Nougat first, such that my 6P had the required vendor, radio and bootloader for subsequent installation of LineageOS. I flashed the stock image, reboot and it stuck at the 'Google' logo.

8th, I tried to install the LineageOS rom. it could not boot up.

9th, I tried to flash stock Oreo and Nougat image again. It did not boot up.

I hope the above information is detailed enough for finding out the cause of the problem and hopefully a solution later on. Thank you
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Thank you for a very detailed explanation of what you have done and so far achieved. Personally, if it was my device, I'd try a new battery. That seems to be the most common problem with the BLOD. other than that, it would be a hardware problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynsx:
Thank you for your advice. It seems too complicated for me to replace a new battery as the battery is supposed non-removable. You mentioned it's a common problem with the BLOD. Do you mind telling more? My 6P is just a one-year old phone. I still wish it could work again. Do you think I did any steps wrong when I downgraded it from stock Oreo to stock Nougat?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmills:
Battery is not that hard to change. Easier than an iPhone to change and those are frequently changed from what I hear

Problem with booting

Hey guys, I have a Nexus 6P in quite difficult situation here. Phone is constantly in bootloop, sometimes it appears that the encryption is unsuccessful. Factory reset didnt help. And now is the bigger problem. Phone has locked bootloader and also USB debugging is not enabled. I tried everything but so far no solution. DO you guys think that it's possible to repair it? Phone is out of warranty, so I can only pay for repairing the phone. Thanks for any advise.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
If you bought the phone from Google Play, you can call and ask if they'll replace it for you. Google replaced my bootlooped 5X which was seven months past warranty as a one time courtesy.

Your next best bet will require you to overheat the phone or freeze the phone then enable OEM unlock to flash a 4 core boot image using fastboot. This is not a permanent fix but you can read more below:

Is the WUG Toolkit still working properly despite no longer being supported? Tried rooting today, keeps getting stuck at "waiting for your device" after pushing the files. I've tried the other root method listed here , but the commands don't work even though I open up a command shell window for the folder. Live log looks like this.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
First off, your version of TWRP is well out of date. Get the latest version. Second, why use a toolkit that is not supported? Far better to learn how to flash these things manually, then when they don't work, you at least have an idea why. There's a thread here that explains everything you need for rooting manually by Heisenberg. Do yourself a favour.

I've figured out that I need to start my commands with .\adb fastboot, but can't seem to install TWRP. Dunno if I'm skipping a step.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Wrong. You need to use fastboot command only, not adb fastboot. Fastboot commands from the bootloader screen and adb commands when the OS is running. Check this thread.

Hey guys. I bought a used nexus 6P off ebay and I am currently running 8.1 dev preview. Have been running Samsungs previously, so my first taste of stock Android

Just a few questions that I have because of the unit I bought didn't come with a charger. And I have never seen a stock nexus charger before

Can anyone recommend the following from ebay (I live in Australia)

Stock oem charger

Case (protection, looks good)

Battery replacement

Screen protector.

Possiblly headphones that work well with the 6P
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
Ok maybe its because I been up for 24 hours but here it is:

I just went back to stock on my 6P, then rooted it, and now trying to restore all my apps from Google, but I cant find any option for that. I see the apps in the Playstore, but I would have to reinstall them one by one, no "check all" or "install all" option. There is not "Backup Restore" section in my Settings even though some people on the web say there should be.

I know people said Google had the backup and restore going on, and its not as good as TiB, but it does the job. I did save all my files/media and the Android folder to my PC, but I just need these app downloaded back into my phone.

What am I missing?

Getting back into customizations

Hello all, i finally have gotten so annoyed with the bland oreo, i need a little more flavor in my life. I havent worked with unlocking and root in a while, and i just have a couple questions i havent really been able to completely answer. First and foremost, thank you to whoever can help me get this going :P.

1) I would like to unlock the bootloader, install twrp, and use Magisk. I am going to follow the heisenburg tutorial so i should not have much issues there.

2) I am currently on the latest Oreo, and i would like to use RR (Resurrection) and i see that it is 7.1.2. I am unsure how to downgrade to this, in order to install. I also do not know what twrp i should use for this.

3) Do i need to use the vendor file provided with the rom, or do i need to downgrade first?

4) Another question regarding RR is that can i replace an inbuilt SU, with Magisk? The rom guide says it has cm root inbuilt? I would like to use snapchat and play pokemon still.

5) Any suggestions to roms/mods/etc... So maybe i will use Magisk and customize my own way?

Hi guys. I have a question why is it that Android system always consume more battery than my screen? It keeps the cpu awake on the back ground and running. Its plaguing my battery. It hits as high as 30%. Is there any solution to this? My Rom is 7.1.2. thanks

Without Android System running, your device would be off. Your choice. Let it run and consume the power it needs or switch off and have a nice paperweight to carry in your pocket to show your friends.

Quick question. How do I flash the new security patch through twrp and keep my root
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
Busted my screen trying to replace the stupid battery FML .... I can feel the vibration when turned on, and then I can feel the vibration of the security pattern when I run my finger across the screen so the phone seems to still be working. However I cannot see anything, its 100% black.

I want to sell the phone out for whoever needs it for parts or want to replace the screen themselves, because otherwise it should be in perfect condition. But I really need to wipe the data, even though nothing critical since I recently wiped and reinstalled but there are still contacts and messages, etc....

So even if I follow a video to follow the steps, the BIG problem is, in the recovery boot, it seems not always the same option comes up first for every reboot, so I would have no idea if it is on "START" or "Recovery Mode" etc etc to even start the ADB process working 100% blind...

So how do I wipe my phone for sure and confirm it when I cant see anything?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBoss0327:
Hi, I'm looking to purchase a used Nexus 6p off of Craigslist.

Was wondering what kind of questions you guys would recommend I ask or find out before purchasing to determine if it's a good one or not.

Ex.

What is the battery life like in a regular day?

How fast does it drain? ex. 50% in one hour?

Does it turn off before reaching 0%? If so, at what percentage?

Stuff like that.

So if you guys have any suggestions for me in regards to other possible questions that would be good, that would be greatly appreciated thanks~

Can't wait to join the 6P crew.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Definitely ask if it is running on 4 cores. If it is, leave it alone. The 4 core fix is temporary. Mine packed in altogether 2 weeks ago. It's in Germany at the moment with the shop I bought it from. Still under guarantee, so they should repair it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
I just went through this process and I'll tell you one thing... for a lot of sellers, these are useless questions. Either they dont care to answer or they lie or they dont even know and they are not willing to find out the answer for you.

Example: The guy I bought the last one from said there was no battery issue since he saw it go down to 24%. He did not provide any more info than that, which to me is useless even after some followup questions. The good thing is, I did buy it, it did have some issues of a dying battery, and a few other things, and I let him know about it and he agreed to take some money off the final price and refunded it. But not everyone will be that accommodating at the risk of a bad rating.

So in the end it really depends on how much patience you have and how long you can keep asking different people the same questions. I needed one quick because my phone was already broke, and I got lucky.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBoss0327:
Ah, I see. I forgot about the possibility of seeing whether I could ask for the price to be lowered if there were issues so thanks for reminding me to keep that in mind. I'm pretty patient as I've been keeping a close eye on Nexus 6P's for probably two years now. My Nexus 4 has been going strong with me for like 5 years with one battery replacement but I think it's about time to upgrade especially with the 6P prices dropping due to the Pixel 2 release. My Nexus 5 ended up getting bricked. I really love the Nexus line though so hopefully I can pick up a good 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaximily:
I'm wondering if there's any easy way to enable some of the customization features (like changing the order / items in the drop-down settings menu, and changing the on-screen navigation buttons)?

I know XPosed Framework isn't ready yet, and I've looked at a few ROMs (especially Bean's pureNexus) that offer the features but I'd rather not flash away from stock if I can help it and I definitely need to avoid root if I can help it due to corporate email not working with rooted devices.

I've traditionally used CM on all my previous devices due to it's easy install (I'm techy but don't flash often enough to keep up on the latest changes)... however I'm thinking that CM won't work for me this time around due to being on Project Fi (no WiFi calling, new code for supporting both networks, etc)

Any advice on the best route to take? I haven't found any other threads specific to this, but I am willing to read through if one exists and someone can link me to it.

What breaks with mods?

I've been reading this and am more confused about a few things than I was before. I've unlocked, rooted, ROMed, and modded a Sam Gal S2, Gal Tab 2, Nexus 5, 9, and 10 and never worried about what didn't work anymore. I'm a recovered crack flasher. With the N6, I am finding myself timid. Does a fuse blow? What causes a fuse to blow? Does Android Pay break? What causes it to break?

Nexus 6P stuck in black Google screen PLEASE HELP :(

So I tried to root my 6P using the nexus root toolkit. My build wasn't there (MDB08L, this was probably my mistake) I went along selecting the build MDB08K because I searched to see if there would be a issue and a couple of people said they had rooted following the MDB08K instructions with another build and it had worked just fine.. so anyways Unlocking the bootloader went fine, then rooted and followed the directions carefully on flashing the files when twrp came up after that I rebooted and it got stuck in a bootloop ... I let it sit there for more than 30 minutes just in case but yeah :/ so then I tried the flash stock unroot from the toolkit and chose the MDB08K build again because at that point I had no other option. When that finished the device got stuck on the black Google page and won't go anywhere from there :'( Please help! I have my old nexus 5 so thats what I'll be using for now but I loved the 6P and hope I didn't break it .. Thanks in advance :)

There's no fuse that blows. The Qfuse is tripped before the phone leaves the factory in order to make version partitions read-only for security reasons. If you have root then Android Pay won't work. Custom recovery will not so anything from functioning apart from OTA updates.
