Booting Twice and force close on clicking download folder.

Hello, so I followed the rooting instructions exactly and everything seemed to work just fine. But now I noticed every time I restart my phone, it goes through the boot animation, I put in my PIN, it does another boot animation and I have to put in my PIN again. Also, anytime I try to open my downloads folder directly, it closes. The first time I tried, it said "unfortunately, Media has stopped" and now it says "unfortunately, Documents has stopped." If I use an actual file explorer, I can navigate to the folder just fine so I'm not really sure what's going on. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
The first part, you have the "ask for my security to start Android" option turned on. Re-add your PIN and unselect that option. Is that crash happening on stock Android? Do you have a theme applied at all? Have you tried a restart?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomfo0lery:
All I've done is root with stock. I installed xposed but haven't added any modules yet. No themes and I've restarted a few times.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
You may try flashing the system image (fastboot flash system system.img) since that shouldn't be happening. This won't affect any of your data. You will most likely need to reinstall Xposed as well.

whats the difference between android development and original android development ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
There isn't much of a difference. Original Development is supposed to include ROMs or kernels that have substantially original or unique features; however, this is largely subjective. Newer forums just have Android Development for this reason.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laucien:
Got a couple questions that I haven't figured out how to fix so far.

When I leave my phone idle for a while (sitting on the table so doze kicks off) it disconnects from WiFi and switches to using mobile broadband. I double checked the advanced settings and it is set to keep WiFi connected during sleep so that's not the issue. Any idea what it could be? It happens ever since I got my N6P a few weeks ago and I've seen the same behavior in stock as well as in ResurrectionRemix and Pure.

The second issue. Whatsapp web gets disconnected from my phone when, I assume, Doze starts. Usually to fix this I go to batter -> battery optimizations -> set Whatsapp to be excluded. That worked in Stock and Pure but doesn't seem to do anything in ResurrectionRemix. Any thoughts? The other battery improvements I have are Greenify (Whatsapp isn't added to the list so shouldn't matter) and Amplify with the default settings and nothing else blocked. These 2 extra settings have been consistent through all my roms lately so they shouldn't be the problem. /EDIT: Apparently it's not just whatsapp web but the entire app gets paused and doesn't receive any messages until I pick the phone up again >.>.

[MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION], I've been following your guide to update my stock ROM every time without a hitch (thanks!). However, I've always followed section 9, as to not lose any data. The new April build is out, and I'm planning to update the same way with Fastboot per your guide. Should I at any point consider doing a wipe and clean flash? Or is there no harm in updating every time the way I have been?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
If you have not experienced any issues with dirty flashing, there is no reason to clean install. The stock ROM rarely has issues updating in that manner so you should be good to go.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
As Nathan said, I wouldn't worry about it, if you rub run into problems then clean flash, but until then dirty is fine.

Go into the bootloader and it should say the version somewhere in the list. The current one is 3.51 if I am not mistaken (should be in the OP of the Index pinned at the top of the General forum)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Boot into the bootloader (power + volume down), it's listed there. Bootloader version for MHC19I (March) is 3.51, but MHC19Q (April) has just been released, I'm not sure whether that build has an updated bootloade.

I read here:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/accessories/usb-type-c-vs-usb-3-0-3-1-vs-usb-2-0-t3221676

that The Nexus 6p can charge other devices.. (what a wonderfully weird idea).

I'm not entirely sure though if it can charge only other "Type C" devices or could I get a Type C to Micro USB cable and charge my bluetooth headphones or my Sony SWR50 (Android Wear Watch) ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
Looking at the reviews for this cable, someone mentioned they were able to charge a small amplifier while connected to a 6P so I am going to go with yes, you should be able to. The 6P should recognize a device connected to it and give you the option to select "Charge other device" in the drop down shade (just like choosing MTP).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senectus:
hmmm cool, thanks.

Do I need to be super concerned about cable quality for this? I know I saw a story about some google Dev having his Pixel Type C port ruined by a dodgy Type C cable...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
As far as I am aware, you only need to be worried about that with USB-A to USB-C cables.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senectus:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Cable quality should be well-checked, if you're going for a third-party USB type-C cable. Amazon already took about hundreds of Type-C cables off their website, just for the sake of safety.

Since these cables are not yet common, it is highly likely that you will get a bad one., so make sure that you cross-check and read a bit before buying one of those.

Read the articles below, they will give you a better knowledge of your device's USB:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
This is true of USB-A to USB-C cables, where the USB-C device is the one requesting the charge. However, with a USB-C to Micro USB cable, the input device (receiving the charge, in this case headphones) isn't a device that is trying to request 3A worth of charge, almost all devices request either 1.5A or 2A worth of charge, which the Nexus 6P can easily deal with since it is a USB 2.0 device, which supports up to 1.8A (I think most places round up to 2A) worth of output

So I'm flashing the Pure Nexus ROM (3-15-16 build), do I flash the Vendor Image from March 16th (MHC19I), or April 4th (MHC19Q)? I flashed the April one, but got a "Android System: It appears your vendor image may be out of date. Please flash the latest vendor image for your device" message, so I flashed the March 16th one because it matches the Pure Nexus' stable build that I installed. Though, I still get the "Android System: It appears your vendor image may be out of..." message on boot, so I'm not 100% sure what's going on. I flashed Viper4Android, and ElementalX kernel after installing the vendor image, if flashing those two happens to be the cause of my problem in any way (don't think it does, but I feel like it's worth mentioning).

Edit: Following nathan's advice, I flashed the March vendor image, and will probably stay with it as the april image made my cell/radio stop working (probably because I need a "April" ROM?)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
You need MHC19I with the 3/15 build. You may try flashing the MHC19I one more time (either in TWRP or fastboot).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The 0315 build of Pure Nexus is based on MHC19I, so you'd use that vendor image. The error message shouldn't have anything to do with the kernel or Xposed.

Hi

So Im a bit new to the whole root thing, and I got the April's update (and I am rooted)

But when I try it takes me to TWRP screen.

Need help, I used FireFlash to install the April update. Everything went well, even used it to flash Xposed, however I just realized that my kernel is back to stock.

I had been using ElementalX, can I use FireFlash to install the kernel?

Also I was also using a custom layer theme that went away after the OTA flash, do I need to install busybox again? Or just use layers manager as usual?

I am currently on stock, and am thinking about rooting but staying on stock just with root. I know my phone will get wiped during the unlock/root process, but will it be a factory reset, or will all the apps and everything that came with the phone be wiped? Im asking this because there are apps that I need from my provider (Softbank in Japan) that came installed on the phone. Also, if I decide to lock the bootloader and unroot, will it show that the phone has been previously unlocked/rooted?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
All user data will be removed. If they're system apps they're safe and will not be wiped. One easy way to tell whether it's a system app or not is by visiting the app on the Play Store on your phone, if you can't uninstall it then it's a system app. If a technician really wanted to find out whether the phone had been previously unlocked/rooted he probably could, but it should not matter because doing so doesn't usually affect the warranty on a Nexus.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teemberland:
Noob question here.

I got my 6P yesterday, popped in a new nano sim from AT&T, I noticed that I'm getting an "H" signal rather than "LTE". I asked the dude from AT&T, he said "That's still LTE. It's H+". Well, if it's H+, then I should show H+ right? I want to believe the guy, but on my N5, I was getting "LTE". Should I be concerned? Am I truly getting LTE? Thanks!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elnrik:
Yeah, I would be thinking that means AT&T's HSPA+ service, which isn't a 4g connection. LTE can kind of mean whatever they want it to, so while mimo-3g connections might fit their definition of LTE, I'd be a little concerned all the same.

There are a bunch of network monitoring tools on the play store. I'd install one and monitor it during your H connections, see what info you can get from it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parizene.netmonitor&hl=en

etc.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teemberland:
Thanks for the app, it works great! Anyways, I'm getting both HSPA and HSPA+. I guess it's safe to say that I'm not quite getting LTE then, correct?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elnrik:
Terms can be confusing here.

3G / 4G = 3rd & 4th gen communication standards.

LTE = Long Term Evolution.

HSPA+ = Evolved High Speed Packet Access. It's like taking two old school 3G connections and teaming them together for better throughput.

Give this a read: http://www.androidauthority.com/hspa-vs-lte-which-one-is-better-78120/

Keep in mind it is a fairly old article from 2012, but it does give a good example of what you can expect from true LTE vs hpsa+ "4G" networks. Lots of people confuse 4G with LTE.

Run a network speed test (speedtest.net or somesuch) with WiFi off and see what you get. If your download speeds are less than 20 or 40mb/s, chances are good you're not on a LTE network when the H symbol is being displayed. Are there areas near you that give you any LTE signal or indicator? If so, compare the H speeds with the LTE speeds.

Sad fact of the matter is, the network you connect to can only be improved by the carrier. It is what it is until they upgrade it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teemberland:
Confirmed, I'm not getting LTE. I ran speedtest.net while on H, and it gave me a 7-8mb/s. When I connected it to WiFi, I got 41mb/s.

I think the guy at AT&T didn't know what he was doing then. Because when I was using my N5, I was getting LTE in the same area (San Diego,CA). In fact, when I was in the AT&T store (same location), I had LTE on my N5 before they activate my new sim on N6P. So I'm guessing he forgot to activate my LTE service? N6P can get LTE right?
