When Ringing my Screen Won't Turn on if it's Connected to Bluetooth

Anyone have an issue with a black screen when the phone rings and you are using a Bluetooth device. Normally, when my phone rings the screen will turn on and show me the caller. When I have my Bluetooth headset connected the phone rings but the screen remains black. Any idea how to get the screen to turn on when it rings and is connected to Bluetooth?

Using Oreo 8.1

Phone 15.0.179075669

Thanks,

Help to get regular GPS on Nexus 6p

I have a rooted Nexus 6p on lastest update 8.1.0 and patch that I used to spoof games using VPNa - Fake GPS Location, everything went great until yesterday and I could spoof and use GPS regularly by just closing the app and removing the mock location. Tpday I tried to use my regular GPS and I got no response at all, It just could not find me, I tried using VPNa again but it just crashes when I start it, and I cant get my GPS to work again (spoofed or not) Can you guys give me any help?

If I am on cust 7.1.2 Rom, and want to install 8.1 factory image, flashing the factory image via fastboot will wipe the entire device, and I'll just need the proper vendor zip, and a gapps package to basically be running stock?

Sorry if this was covered, but all the ways I tried to search for this just came up with parts of the answers.

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
The factory image has everything included to run the device. Google apps, vendor, etc.. And yes it will wipe the device unless you modify the script to not wipe. But the factory image is the only thing to flash if you want to remain stock.

Hi,

I unlocked & flashed TWRP on Nexus 6P a few days back & sideloaded stock Android 8.1.0 on the phone. Now the ohone has been running smooth & everything as great as brand new. Now 2 days back, I was prompted to install new system update, which I believe is the January security patches. But I am unable to install them as when the phone downloads the update package & reboots, it goes to TWRP, from where when i later reboot the phone, I am again prompted with the notification "Cannot install System Update". (attached is the image for it). Why is it happening? Will I need to sideload these updates via ADB or is there something I am missing here?

Thanks for the help. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
TWRP will not flash an OTA. It only works on stock recovery. You could either ADB sideload the OTA from factory image website, or flash stock recovery and let phone update itself. Either method is the same end result.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BathroomTile:
I'm having a similar issue - my stock Nexus 6P was working perfectly fine (note: I replaced the battery myself back in September, which was hella worth it), and then I wake up Sunday morning to charge it, I notice that none of my chargers (and a Nintendo Switch charger - thank the USB-C standard) could charge my phone (and yeah, I tried different outlets, my car charger, and even tried connecting to my Chromebook). I bought a new daughterboard, because the battery is not even 6 months old and has been healthy, so I'm hoping that the culprit is just the USB-C jack. Anyone here have any insight?

I was at low battery, so I turned it off and haven't turned it back on since, but I'm thinking of trying to turn it back on before I make the replacement and performing a factory reset, in case it's a software issue.

Hi, I am having big problems with malware ads on my Nexus 6p.

Last thing I've done (which I though supposed to be everything max possible) listed here:

1. Replaced/reflashed recovery.img with twrp

2. In TWRP opened trough bootloader (holding power + down) in advanced wipe options, wiped everything possible

3. Rebooted into bootloader, and flashed bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system, vendor with stock image

4. Replaced/reflashed recovery.img with twrp again

5. Wiped cache and dalvik cache

However, few minutes again after using chrome same anoying ads pop up without even logging in anywhere.. Would there be someone willing to help regarding this? Thanks!

Malwarebytes says my system is 100% secure + real time protection is on. However ad pop-ups come up as usual and Malwarebytes does not even warn about it while this sh---y ad is right in from of my eyes..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You'll most likely find that these ads are coming as a result of you having downloaded an app that is full of adware. Uninstall any recently downloaded apps, especially any that you did NOT get from the Play store. Even then, some Play store apps are full of intrusive ads. If you're rooted, which I assume you are, try adaway also. It's available from XDA. A simple search will find it.

Hi. Phone is not rooted. And adds pop-up after factory reset/image reflash/ota reflash/cleaning through twrp before any app is installed and before I even put any log-in information..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
I would suggest you download the factory image from here, connect your device to the computer and when you have extracted the image, after you backup what you want from your device, use the flashall.bat file to completely return your device to stock. There should be absolutely no ads when you restart because this setup will wipe everything, and I mean everything, from your device. It will be like starting completely fresh out of the box new.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenasJ:
Done this, and as I mentioned before, after flashing image, device starts as new, but also starts showing ads straight away
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Impossible. You must use the flashall.bat file. There is no way you could have popup ads immediately after flashing the factory images. You must be doing something wrong.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenasJ:
There are few things Im doing different but result should be the same:

flashall.sh (Im using mac) does not work for me for some reason so I flash every single bit manualy using platform-tools in order like bellow:

"fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img

fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img

fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img

fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img

fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img

fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img

In terminal after each flashing it shows that 'writing is complete' and "OK" so I assume Im doing flashing correctly, but problem persists.

Image I use is from google website: https://developers.google.com/android/images

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenasJ:
I've done factory reset from recovery.

Please find attached text file of copy of terminal. Is it correct way how I've done it?

After flashing next thing I do is inside recovery I wipe system data and reboot.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
I honestly cannot see where there could be any error. I am stumped. Have you tried a custom recovery and root? Use Magisk if you decide to root, it's a better root system and your device will pass safety net. If you root, definitely get Adaway and see if it stops the ads. Are you getting these popups on wireless and data connections or just on one?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenasJ:
1. I only tried replacing recovery.img with twrp, wiping all possible things, and flashing system again - no luck

2. Thank you for Magisk recomendation, I will look more into this as Im not familiar with it

3. My nexus 6p is not rooted and never been. I could install Adaway, but I am not feeling that this would be appropriate thing. I just want stock clean android without any extra additional software in background if you see what I mean.. :confused:

4. These pop-ups comes on all networks. Tried on home wifi connection, work wifi connection and mobile 3G. With all connections same type of pop-ups come up

Appreciate your help though! I'm very confused myself.. if you get more ideas how else possibly I could deep clean everything please let me know :) Thanks

If the phone is rooted, updates will fail. You can download the latest factory images from Google and flash the images manually. You will then be on the latest version. Make a backup of everything you want to keep as using the flashall.bat file will wipe your device clean.

I'm coming from 6.0.1... What all do I need to install a 8.1 rom? I haven't flashed anything In a good 2 years so I'm rusty lol
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
Step 1:

Back up all of your photos, music, etc to your PC and do a full clean install (including internal storage wipe/format) of the latest factory image from Google to clean up all the old junk. This way you will have a nice fresh base to install on top of with the latest bootloader, radio, etc. This step is pretty important since you're jumping straight from SDK 23 to SDK 27, which is a pretty significant change, so a dirty flash is a big no-no.

Step 2:

Boot once just to make sure everything went ok. Power your phone off once you reach the setup screen. There's no need to set anything up.

Step 3:

Boot into bootloader mode and install TWRP, then boot directly into TWRP and copy the ROM, GAPPs package recommended by the ROM developer, Magisk (if you want root), and any other mods you want to install to your phone.

Step 4:

Go to advanced wipe in TWRP and select system, data, cache, and dalvik (DO NOT select internal storage). Once that's done flash in this order:

1. ROM

2. GAPPs

3. Kernel (if you want to install a custom kernel)

4. Any other mods you want to install

5. Magisk (if you want root. It's important that you flash Magisk last because it modifies the kernel. Installing a kernel or other mod(s) that change the kernel could remove the changes performed by Magisk and you'll end up with no root)

Whelp, this is fun. Was watching YouTube today, plugged my phone into the charger, and then a couple minutes later it restarts. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I can't even get to recovery through the bootloader. OS or recovery causes a bootloop. I haven't done a single thing to my phone in months and this just happens out of the blue.

Hello I have a Nexus 6p running Android Oreo, 4 cores only, latest AICP rom and am having issues with screen rotation on YouTube. Whenever i rotate the screen or press the full screen button YouTube crashes and freezes the whole phone for a small period of time. Usually I can double press the power button to take me to the camera and get unstuck.

Had anyone had this problem before and knows how to fix it? What logs do you need and how do I get them, I'm not very experienced.

Also the same thing happens on the YouTube website, it crashes Chrome. Other video websites like Twitch work perfectly fine.

You'll probably find it's using the 4 cores instead of 8 that is causing the problem. The device is designed to use 8 cores, so using only half will obviously diminish the devices capabilities.
