Hello, this is my first post to xda, does anyone know how to Fix memory leak from huawei Nexus 6p?

I have nougat 7.1.1 now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I have not experienced any issues with bad battery life on 7.1.1. If you do have issues you can always flash back to an older firmware.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

That's completely normal ram usage of Android OS on 7.1.1. A memory leak is not just high ram usage either. It's a poorly programed app that does not discard used ram properly resulting in all free ram space getting eaten up slowly over time. Unless your device is freezing and crashing all the time you do not have a memory leak.

As a somewhat audiophile myself, the DAC on this phone isn't that good for audio but i don't know what your normal reg is. If you're planning to listen to music heavily an external DAC and maybe an AMP is recommended. I believe the Xperia lines are supposedly the best in regards of audio quality, but I personally never used or owned one so I can't say for sure.

For me, this phone is easier to hold than the Apple 6Plus, however, when I'm using this phone by holding it between my cheek / shoulder, people seem to have issues hearing me or it sounds weird (may not be the case for you since you're holding might be better).

I'm wondering if it matters whether or not I activate Angler on Sprint before/after I unlock the bootloader. I'm thinking the best way to go about it would be:

Insert nano-SIM and boot up the phone for the first time

Skip past all first-run/setup options

Activate phone using http://www.sprint.com/activate

Enable DevSettings, Enable OEM Unlock and establish ADB with PC

Reboot into bootloader* and unlock it.

That sound about right?

* I keep seeing guides saying to power it all the way down and use POW+VOLDOWN to get into bootloader, does adb reboot-bootloader not work like it usually does or something . . . ? Or is it just a way to keep the instructions simple . . .? I've noticed none of the guides give instructions on how to add /platform-tools to Windows PATH either

Do I have to flash every factory image from oldest to newest? (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en)

I'm going to flash twrp but before I can I have to update my phone from MDA89D to one of these newer builds. I'm guessing the last 2 are October and November security updates so do I need to install both (or all 3)?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have unlocked bootloader and soon will twrp and root. If I install multi window, ad blocker, DPI, and other small mods, will having these mods keep me from updating firmware (using Google's images) ? In other words, will I have to disable them in order to update?

This is one of the biggest reasons why I almost didn't want to root because I just want to have my monthly security updates without having to remember what I have to deactivate or uninstall before I do. If not, what things WILL prevent me from updating firmware?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalookakoo:
So does adblock work with systemless root? This is my first not complete crap phone so I'm learning as I go, and rooted my 6P and flashed ElementalX on it for gestures/calibration. Now all I want is adblock until exposed modules come in and maybe try out some new things.

So yeah, does adblock work with systemless root? Not sure what to choose to be able to get rid of ads but still use android pay.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan3719:
no you can flash straight to the latest if you are flashing factory images.

You wont be able to take any OTAs if you have anything modified in /system. instead, you'll either need to return your system, boot.img, and recovery back to stock to take the OTA. or just flash the factory image without wiping userdata.

no. in order to root you'll need to unlock the bootloader, which wipes all data.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djricekcn:
when I put the phone down, it sometimes makes this sound though the speakers and I have no idea what it means or why...any one can explain?

also, still having issues where i can't sync hotmail and gmail at the same time, if one is enabled, the other one becomes disabled and visa versa.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The latter method being the obvious choice. I don't mind flashing updates myself. So... if I do have some mods in /system (examples?) I can't ota but I can flash myself as long as I do the -wipe command (keeping the phone from wiping)?? I did not know you can have mods in /system and update firmware (without wiping).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan3719:
well you wont have to wipe userdata, but you will have to replace recovery, system, and boot. so you'll have to reflash a custom recovery, reroot, and reflash any custom kernel. plus reapply any mods you had to the system partition like adblocking.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan3719:
I don't think it takes that long. Usually for me its just reaaplying adblocking and setting whatever kernel settings I had. I use elementalx kernel which has an aroma installer so it's very quick to get things back to what I had.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Are you installing apks from nefarious sources? If not you should be fine. I've always had root, never had malware.

Volume down to vibrate, tap one more time and it turns on do not disturb, which is new version of silent.

Skips toolkit in the original Android section will install all the drivers for you.

Phone needs to be decrypted for twrp to see storage to install SuperSU. I'm not sure you can edit build prop any other way.

I would boot first, take the updates before putting sim in. Then power down, insert sim, and power on and activate. Check out skips toolkit, it will do most of the work for you. Very well done tool.

Skips toolkit has the updates. I'm guessing update to M, then install updates without wiping.

Any changes to system will break updates. You can flash them through twrp though.

Apparently that's Google's new thing. Probably trying to protect Android pay.

If apps have full screen enabled, it will hide soft keys. There is an app that will do it but its wonky. Someone posted how to edit the build prop to do the same thing once you have PIE installed.

No flash counters. Has a fuse but it is not activated. Hacking phones doesn't break warranty unless you brick it. That's a gray area.

Yes. You can use skips toolkit in original Android section to boot into twrp to push root without flashing it. That's what I did though probably going to flash twrp now to install the updates since rooting breaks OTAs.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
TWRP can decrypt now so no need to decrypt your phone. Also, the Qfuse is already tripped, they trip it before it leaves the factory, it's a measure to ensure that certain parts of the firmware are read-only.

Cool, so does twrp decrypting wipe phone?

Nexus 6p problems after update to 7.1.1

Hi, guys!

After the last update to Android 7.1.1 my Nexus 6p started doing the following:

Everytime i make a phone call it turns to do not disturb mode automatically. And ends this after hanging up. Only that a lot of times it remains in do not disturb mode. This means that i miss a lot of calls because it is in silence mode.

Have any of you experienced the same bug since the last update.

I am using it with my Huawei watch, but even if it is disconnected from the watch it is still doing the same.

Please help, this is starting to be very annoying.

Thank you!

Hi everyone.

I have a 6P 32 GB and a lot of time ago, I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and applied a systemless root on the phone. Since then, I haven't upgraded my phone (I'm still on 6.0.1, build number MMB29P). I'm using root only for AdAway, Solid Explorer, CCleaner and Titanium Backup.

A couuple days ago, the phone notified me that 7.1.1 is available for download and install via OTA.

My questions are as follows:

- Is it OK to just use the OTA and upgrade?

- If not, I just saw that I can download 7.1.1 (build number NMF26F) from Google Developers. Should I do it that way then?

- What are the steps to upgrade in either case? Losing root & TWRP is acceptable (surely there'll be a way to reenable them later?)

- What should I backup before upgrading?

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
The OTA will fail because you have a modified boot.img and system. The OTA checks the installed build and will install successfully if each partition is unmodified.

Follow section 9 of this guide here and reapply your mods.

This will hard brick your device. Only flash OEM factory images or system files intended for your specific phone.

It shouldn't. I've got over 500 pictures/videos on my 32 GB 5X and it's running smooth. I usually have about 18 GB used on my internal storage. On both the 5X and 6P, thermal throttling will slow these phones down in seconds. Take a look at your background apps and services and see if anything is running excessively.

OK, so my search skill may be lacking, but I can't seem to find a straight answer on this one.

I picked up a new N6P and I love the hell out of it, but I can't get over the sluggishness of the phone during use (certain apps, browsing the web, etc) - would rooting and installing a custom kernel and ROM help in this matter?

I'm running the phone unrooted, with the 7.1.1 OTA if that helps.

Getting a new battery

Hi,

My 6p's battery's health has been very bad lately, in general i hardly get 2h SoT plus when it reaches around 20% it shuts off automatically, and powering it up will just make it shut down again, funny thing is when i put the charger on and light it up it starts charging from 20% :confused:?

I researched the issue and found out that it's affected from nauget for some reason, I tried reseting all permissions which helped the battery last a bit longer, but still not good enough to finish a day without charging.

So what do you think? should I be getting a new battery? or is it just a software issue thats going to be fixed eventually?

Keep in mind that i have the phone since February (new) plus I don't really use any junk apps.

So, yesterday I was on pure nexus 7.1.1 and loved it. However I saw there was a nethunter for cm14.1 so i did everything the guides told me to do and I got soft bricked. I had taken a twrp recovery right before (as per instructions) and when flashing back to that it was still soft bricked. I have three back ups one 7.1.1 PN one 7.0 PN and one 6.01PN both 7's don't work. However if I flash the 6.0.1 it works. At some point after flashing in random order I had all three work at different times. My computer only sometimes recognizes adb and fastboot.

So all in all, is there a way to flash a factory image using twrp?

In order to run flash-all.bat, you need to be in the boot-loader mode and not recovery. Try the following:

1. Completely power off the phone

2. Press the down volume button THEN the power button together until the phone starts.

3. It should now be in boot-loader mode

4. Plug the phone into your PC (do this step AFTER being in boot-loader mode, sometimes PCs won't pickup your phone being connected through the phone boot up process).

5. From the PC type "fastboot devices" (without the quotes). You should see a response with a number

6. Now type "flash-all.bat" (note that you either need to be in the directory where you have the file flash-all.bat or you will need to fully qualify the name of the file with the directory)
