[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedroqnd:
Hi I used to install many ROM on my 6P as daily basis, but in my last ROM, the device reboot and now is stuck in the google logo rebooting again and again, I flashed stock factory images and the phone is still the same, when I try to flash custom ROM with latest twrp the device restart in the middle of the process, is any solution or can I consider put it on the trash, also I'd flashed manually the stock images.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Sounds like the bootloop of death. Had mine replaced because of it. Although mine would never boot to recovery or anything except bootloader and never passed the Google logo. I was still within warranty so Google replaced it free of charge. They know it's an issue. I read somewhere they may replace it even if you are out of warranty since it's a known hardware failure.

Anyone experiencing rapid battery drain since 7.1.1? Its depleting relatively faster than earlier version while screen is on. Anyway to fix it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Try rebooting to bootloader and clearing cache. It seems to be an issue with the 6P. Though not everyone is affected.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bonderman101:
Perhaps asking this question simply without details may point me in the correct direction to search for solutions already out there.

Similar to the "washed out color" bug we got when marshmallow came out (and those are the only topics that come up when I search for solutions), I am experiencing this now after rooting pure nexus 7.1.1 latest (again just speaking without going into lengthy depth if possible but if you need a full break-down of what I have flashed with dates and the like, I can give you everything).

The color wash effect immediately happens halfway through the "bouncing balls" loading animation, in case that helps.

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

Dirty flash your ROM.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
Not sure if I have an issue or if I am just having a brain fade.

I am on latest PN 7.1 Ex 4.04 kernel, and rooted (superSU 2.79), TWRP 3.0.2.0, no xposed, no theme applied

I used to be able to change file permissions, edit build prop entries, and modify files at will, without mounting the system to R/W or doing anything except right click and editing the file.

Now, I can't edit build prop files (without a build prop editor), I cannot change file permissions, and I cannot edit files (like mixer_paths.xml) at will as before.

I d/l an app for Mount system to R/W and R/O but even that didn't give me the ability to edit files.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :D

If I root and install custom ROM or Exposed (not sure if one or the other would work), will I then have the ability to enable an auto answer while on Bluetooth headset via third party app?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
If you can find such an app, then why not?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dephiler:
For some reason, none of the third party apps work with this phone's stock ROM (or possibly Nougat itself), but they worked on my Note 5 running MM. So, unless the devs changed something in their custom ROMs I'm thinking it still may not work unless something is tweaked in the system. This is why I asked if anyone knew for sure, i.e. has actually gotten this to work.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Have never had the need or want for auto answer with Bluetooth. Have had speech answer with some headsets but the ROM has to be compatible also. I prefer to answer Bluetooth manually, personally.

I have a Nexus 6p running the latest Nitrogen ROM and recently switched from Verizon to AT&T. With Verizon I had great signal, but with AT&T I have a lot of areas where I don't get LTE, but I get H and H+. LTE does work with AT&T and is very fast in this area, seems faster than Verizon, but the coverage doesn't seem near as good.

So as long as I'm getting LTE, H+, and H is there anything that needs to be done to improve reception? Or is that just how it is?

My wife has a *gasp* iPh0ne 6s plus (unlocked) from Verizon and has the same results as I do, so I'm guessing we just have poor coverage contrary to what the AT&T map says we should have.

I'm kinda getting tired of people my wife works with telling her "you can't bring Verizon phones to AT&T because they won't work, you need to buy a phone from AT&T".

Try flashing another radio through fastboot. This and replacing the sim card are about the only ways to attempt to improve signal.

No. If the sim is locked, you need to unlock it through the carrier or by other online means. You're going to have to pay for it. Unlocking the bootloader is easy, make sure it's set in developer options first.

Hi Everybody,

I`m totally new to Nexus Device. Previously I owned Samsung Android Devices.

I`ve Nexus 6p and I want to root it.

But problem is I can`t connect the Nexus 6p with PC (windows 7, 64bit). The default usb cable is not compatible with the usb port of PC ( as both the plugging port of the cable is little bit small for the usb port of PC). So, I bought an usb cable ( which is c type of "Oneplus"). Now I can connect the Nexus 6p with PC. But it always shows "Charging", while connected with PC. And there nothing in Notification Panel, form where I should change the connection type to "MTP". I`ve tried several times. But nothing happens. I`ve read many threads related to this. But can`t.

I`ve installed ADB and Fastboot but can`t install the driver of Nexus 6p coz in device manager (PC), nothing shows as Nexus 6p or something like that and there is no option ,named "Other Devices" in Device manager.

When I run the command:

C:\platform-tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

adb server version (32) doesn't match this client (36); killing...

* daemon started successfully *

C:\platform-tools>

Would anybody help me ?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Do you have developer options enabled? If not, go to settings, about phone and tap build number repeatedly until it says you are now a developer. That enables developer mode. In developer options, which will now show, go to OEM unlocking and make sure it is switched ON. Further down you will find debugging, switch android debugging on too as well as ADB notification. Even further down is Verify apps over USB, switch on also. Then further down you will find the Select USB configuration. Select MTP when your device is connected to the computer.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micheal86:
Thank you so much for your most valuable help. You`re really very helpful. :good:

Now when I run these commands :

C:\platform-tools>adb version

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36

Revision 0e9850346394-android

C:\platform-tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

CVH7N15B05004811 unauthorized

C:\platform-tools>

And now it is showing as Nexus 6p with the Internal Storage.

BTW, why it is showing as "Unauthorized".

Thank you once again.

Settings/about phone/press build number a few times untill your a developer.

Then settings/developer option(which you just unlocked) then enable Android debugging.

Worked for me.

Now you should have the option in you notification panel when connecting to a computer.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn9691:
there is an option in developer settings in settings where you can change the deafult action upon connecting through usb. it is set to charging by default (as is obvious) but you can try and change it to file transfer or whatever and see if it works then.

p.s if you don't have developer settings enabled then go to settings, about phone and click build number five times.

Hi guys. I have been using my Nexus 5x for almost 5 months, but I can't receive messages notifications by gcm from all the applications that are applied for gcm function. Of course at the moment when the applications are off meaning completely they have dropped out. Every time I use *#*#426#*#* to check out the Google play services, it shows everything is working fine, recorded like "broadcasted + package name". But I just can't get any notifications , the applications are still quite not starting up to remind me the messages. When I opened the application , then the unread messages just came out. How can I fix it. Please do kindly tell me.

I tried flashing full stock firmware 7.1.1, MM without any positive results. In settings i have set network mode to LTE only using *#*#4636#*#* code but something is messed up and now LTE isn't working. Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't think anything will actually happen. The OTA update will want to go to native recovery which isn't there since you have TWRP. So the update will fail and you'll be left with your current version.

You could follow the guide to fastboot the update yourself. I can't share that link at the moment but when I get a chance I will.

I've been messing around with rooting and custom ROMs for about 6 months now. I've only ran into a few problems that were always fixable. But now I'm having an issue that I'm not able to find any answers for. My husband had a 6p that I was running on pure nexus no problems, then he got the bootloop of death so we RMA it and just got it back yesterday. The first thing we did right away was unlock the bootloader and rooted it using the nexus root toolkit. I thought everything went fine, but when I tried to boot into twrp to flash RR, I got a dead android guy with a red triangle and exclamation point saying no command. I look it up and did what it said held power button and taped volume up. Then I choose recovery from the list and it brought me back to the dead android, then I chose bootloader mode and chose recovery from that list and again the dead android. So then I figured twrp just wasn't there. I hooked it back up to the nexus root toolkit and chose boot into custom recovery and it took me to twrp. But at this point my husband was scared something was really wrong and wouldn't let me flash anything. So he then tried to do the 7.1.1 update on the phone. In the middle of the update it went to the dead android guy but this time it said error. I booted the phone back up. I started the process of flashing stock and unrooting with the toolkit but my husband was impatient and told me just to lock the bootloader since it says it will return it to factory settings. So that's what I did. It went find except when the phone boots up there's a message in red saying the phone is corrupt. I know that in this state we can't update the phone from 7.0. My question is can I reunlock the bootloader, flash stock using the nexus toolkit and start over. When I look it up I'm not finding the answer. I did however find out if he would have been more patient, I could have fixed it in the first place by flashing twrp with the toolkit. But he was having a meltdown thinking I ruined his phone after he just got it back, but I'm really afraid that it is now. Please help me if u can.

Forget all about toolkits. Unlock the bootloader and then download and extract the factory image from Google. Execute the flashall.bat file, sit back and let it finish. One new, stock 7.1.1 device.
