One of the newest members to the nexus pure Android universe here so here I go.

Ok. Ok. I can't find it.

When pressing the recents button, I don't see a "close/x" button to shut down the apps and tabs that are running. In marshmallow.

I've been on a resurrection remix Rom which I added that "x" to do just that.

Is that something that's not in Android without a custom Rom?

Without root you can only close one at a time. With root you add a close all button via Xposed or a custom ROM.

Quick question: I usually charge my phone overnight and usually it is charged 100% by the time I wake up. I was wondering if keep it like that has any effects on battery.. Because it reaches 100% very quickly and stays on charging until I wake up . Is there any new technology in phone which cuts off charging once it reaches 100% to protect battery ??

Simply Updating/Upgrading

Okay. Pure Nexus was my first ROM flash coming from Samsung. I've searched and have not found a simple answer.

I'm running the 2nd latest build released in December 2015 running ElementalX Kernel.

If I simply wish to upgrade to the latest version of Pure Nexus for my 6P (Angler). Do I just download the .zip, TWRP recovery and flash it?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
Are you on stock with TWRP installed? Just flash the factory image and your phone will be like new out of the box. If you want to keep your apps/settings, edit the flash-all.bat file and it will preserve your userdata. I am not sure if you can preserve userdata and settings if you are coming back from a custom rom.

Nexus 6p random reboots.

Hi All,

I've had quite a few issues with my Nexus, finally figured out what was causing the issuee, but i have now been greeted with a new problem...

I recently installed a new ROM and kernal (pure nexus ROM with the gods kernal) it's all running as it should be, but the issue i now how is reboots, my phone randomly reboots and shuts down, not sure what is causing the issue. There's no error upon rebooting though. Just freezes and reboots randomly when it wants too...

Hoping someone could help me with this issue, would be much appreciated!

Thanks :)

So my phone downloaded a "January security update" and is prompting ms to reboot in order to install. I'm on systemless root. Is this update safe to install? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Check to see if the kernel is overclocked and decrease them if they are. If not OC'ed, reflash your rom without wiping to reinstall the original kernel and see if these issues persist. If you still have issues, wipe in recovery then reinstall the rom and see if you have any issues.

Need some help. Rooted 6p with systemless root and twrp recovery installed, in developer option oem is locked and by mistake wiped system using twrp and now I'm stuck with no os installed. Only i can open twrp in pc its showing driver not installed
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes. Just re-apply TWRP using fastboot (on computer) and then go into TWRP to achieve root afterwards if you want root again.

Do you have a rom already on your sdcard? If so, you can flash that.

If not, try reinstalling that USB driver. Also, make sure to try this on both USB ports on your computer. Ultimately, you will want to get a custom rom downloaded onto your computer and then transfer that over via ADB.

Thank god and thank you so much.... Saved my phone back.... Got booted in to custom rom (resurrection remix)... How can i go back to stock latest rom safely (now I'm little bit afraid to do something on my phone)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Awesome! :highfive: First, enable Developer Options (tap the build number in Settings/About Phone) and turn on "OEM Unlock" as well as "USB Debugging." This will allow you to use fastboot again.

Next, well it is easiest to return to stock using fastboot on your computer. Scroll down to section 11 of Heisenberg's guide and that will get you all squared away. Just make sure to re-enable Developer Options once you have flashed the factory image for MMB29P.

hi..

been using this phone for 3 weeks, it's really a great phone.

but now my rear camera is stop working.

already tried couple method I found from internet,

rebooting, safe mode, factory reset with no result.

I'm on stock 6.0.1 without root.

I'm hopping this is from the marsmallow bug.

Is there anything I can do to try to fix the rear camera?

everytine I start google camera app, it only show me black background with white camera icon and it's not responding to any touch (but no force close).

I can access the front camera using whatsapp or any 3rd party camera apps.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
I'm afraid it will. Unless root cloak allows the blocking of their test, it will fail and AFAIK it doesn't at the moment. I personally use both barclays and Lloyds, using an older version of Lloyds allows the app to function just don't update.

Try the same with barclays, see how you go, I've not tried it as of yet.

Hello guys,

first of all, sorry for my English.

I'm really considering the jump from Nexus 4 to Nexus 6P, I know there will be a lot of changes, starting with the size of this phone, just will take some time for adaptation.

one of my biggest concerns is the phone's temperature, Nexus 4 kind of overheats when in a hot location (during summer) and I have sweaty hands, so is really uncomfortable for me. Is the temperature control in the Nexus 6P better?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graybeard5:
I really like the Nexus 6P, it is the first Nexus phone I have had. I have not had any problems with heat at all. I can't tell you about a hot location right now it is only 8f. The size doesn't bother me at all, I like the bigger screens.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exxi:
Dear Friends,

In peripheral vision, I can see a the 6p screen flickering slightly. Mostly only noticeable on bright white and green screens on full brightness (without auto brightness adjustment)

Can you please do me a solid one and check it out on your device?

1. Turn Off brightness adjustment in Display settings

2. Set phone to full brightness

3. Load a completely white background (chrome browser starting page or any screen testing tool)

4. Hold the phone centrally close to your face and look at another object in the room while viewing the phone in your peripheral vision

5. Look back and forth at the object in the room and at the screen to see if you notice a slight flickering or restlessness in the screen

The flickering is very faint and hard to notice in peripheral vision but it is definitely there. I tired the same with an iphone 6plus and the iphone screen (my brothers Iphone, I'd never buy none) definitely has no flicker at all. It's very steady.

The screen is also not as bright as the iphone 6+ but I think that is well known.

I'd like to know if it is standard with all nexus 6p's and if it bothers you at all.... maybe I am just obsessing or maybe not and I need to RMA the device which is a huge pain in the ass.

Thanks!

Thomas
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
I never had a Nexus 4, but I did have a Nexus 6 and it got very warm, especially when charging. The Nexus 6p does get warm when using it for an intensive game and charging, but not so hot that you can't touch it. The warmest area is between the fingerprint sensor and the camera. If you're holding it with two hands in landscape, you'll feel the warm spot. Usually with it in portrait my hand is down below that warm spot and I don't notice it.

The CPU throttles to keep heat down, but I haven't had any noticeable times when the performance suffered due to the throttle. I don't play super intensive racing games or anything like that, though. The one that makes my phone the warmest is Adventure Capitalist, which has lots of moving elements on the screen at the same time.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
Did you use traditional root method (not systemless)? I believe the old boot.img breaks calculator and camera. Using Systemless root saves the step of flashing boot.img as it modifies it for you.

Don't worry about the fuse, the status is always the same whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked, rooted or not rooted. I have rooted on all of the factory images that have been posted by Google except MMB29N. Never had any issue rooting.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwshields:
So I've been out of the phone game for a while, and am feeling pretty dumb right now.

I just received my 6P today. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP on the phone & installed SuperSU Systemless, and now it's prompting me for an OTA. I know I can't install the OTA in a traditional way, but I can't figure out how I would do it.

Currently I'm on MDA89D; I think the proper upgrade path should be MDA89D -> MDB08L -> MMB29M -> MMB29P

Could somebody give me a hand?

Edit: Before I posted this, I hit the update button for poops and giggles, it tried to go into recovery and install, it failed with a sad android error, then proceeded to reboot, when it came back up, I realized I lost root :V

All was fine till now. After that i flashed the xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64, after booting gave me NFC force close, and I was unable to get past that to the home screen, any solutions will be highly appreciated.

Sometimes while unlocking the phone using fingerprint reader, it asks me for PIN too saying pin required for additional security. Its very random.

Is it some sort of bug or designed that way. If designed that way, when does it asks to PIN?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
It's just an extra security step. I used to see it with my phone a lot more in the beginning, but haven't seen it as much lately. Not sure if it is related to Smart Lock or just how many times you unlock between using a PIN.

Sometimes I use my PIN instead of fingerprint if my phone is laying flat on the table and I don't want to pick it up (holding something in my other hand, etc), so I might override that additional check by happenstance.

So I've never had a phone with a fingerprint scanner. Is it correct that (once set up) the phone will not unlock unless I use the fingerprint id or voice activated (e.g., Ok Google Now)? Is that right?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elnrik:
Unlocking via finger print gets you immediately to the home screen. Pressing the power button brings up the unlock screen, where you will have to enter your pin/pattern/password to continue. Saying OK Google will bring up the voice recognition window, but before completing your request, you will have to enter your PW to continue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoCharlieDelta:
Ok, thanks, I thought it would burn a e-fuse or something like that.. I think Samsung used to do that, but I am not sure..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apache0c:
100% it does, as far as the cellular provider and manufacturer are concerned. You dont always get caught though, you have to be very careful. Just know that if you root, it is a high likelihood you will not receive warranty service so be prepared to accept that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranemonk:
Thanks. I'm assuming I could bypass the pin/pattern/password by enabling the "trusted agents" security feature setting in the phone to recognize bluetooth in my car. Is that right? That's what I have now with the OPO so that when I'm in the car I can say "Ok Google" and no password needs to be entered.

I'm also confused because some sites are saying fingerprint id IS more secure than PIN/PASSWORD/PATTERN and other sites say the opposite. Is and why is a fingerprint sensor more secure? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elnrik:
Yes, trusted site/device will still bypass security.

As for the security of it, I can't speak as intelligently as I'd like on the topic. From everything I have read (to do fingerprint authentication the right way) you need a secure place inside the phone to store your fingerprint images. The images can't be accessible by the OS directly, else there will be some hack/method to bypass security. The communication paths between processor to secure fingerprint data to fingerprint scanner all has to be secure as well. What methods Google is using to accomplish this is beyond me. I'm not even sure they published that info.

Generally speaking, Pin/password/pattern methods are only as secure as the complexity of the PW used.

Now from a legal perspective, I've read that law enforcement cannot compel you to produce a device password. They can compel you to produce your finger to unlock the device.

Enjoy
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CacheOnlyPlease:
The only way they would know is if the phone had something built in like Samsung does with their Knox counter. Once you tamper with the bootloader, it trips Knox forever and boom they'll know it's rooted. As far as I know, the Nexus 6P doesn't have a system like this in anyway. None of the previous Nexus' (Nexuseye?) did, so I don't see why this would be any different. It's a developers phone. They're practically asking for us to root and play with it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Won't be druv:
I also think this is very unlikely. In the past, it was stated by Google, that rooting would NOT void the warranty on a nexus device. IIRC it was when the nexus 5 was released. That may only apply to those bought on play store though?

Will unlocking the bootloader cause android pay and the fingerprint scanner to stop working
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elnrik:
Yeah, that's about all you should need to do. They will get you a SIM, put the needed information into their systems and issue you a phone #.

The only carrier I've ever had an issue with is Verizon. It took forever before the N7 could get on their network. The N6 was much the same. Even though you could take an already active Verizon SIM, pop it into the N6 and get full service, Verizon said they had to pre-load a list of compatible IMEI # into their system before they'll allow the device on their network, and all kinds of other crap excuses. I've found they usually don't train their employees on how to add devices to their network if they don't already sell it. I also suspect they have a corporate policy to intentionally annoy XDA-type people to no end... for fun, of course.
