[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farangutan:
Do you have a screen protector? If you do, maybe the protector is blocking the sensors on the front. Mine is working fine. In fact, I turned it off because it came on too often and the fingerprint unlock is just really convenient.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davidinks:
No screen protector.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davidinks:
OK... So it seems that if I turn led notification off the ambient display works pretty good all of a sudden... Turn led notification back on it pretty much stops working again. What the heck...?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
I turned mine off. Comes on too much.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLonePoster:
I was annoyed that it's too sensitive on the Nexus 6 and for the 6p it's more difficult in comparison, almost a little on the too difficult side.

They really need to get it like the Moto X where you can wave your hand over the proximity sensor and have it light up.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richport29:
After locking my 6P the ambient display will come on 4 or 5 times on its own. Just sitting on the table. Anyone else seeing this happening?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heleos:
I've had pretty good luck with mine. Seems like maybe 90% of the time I take it out of my pocket the clock shows

Mine does that too :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustangl3:
Coming from a 2013 moto x, my 6P seems to sometimes not be sensitive enough/delayed when I pick it up. There is sometimes a 2-3 second delay from when it is picked up to when the screen turns on.

Has anyone tried an alternative active display app?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyHoyle:
I find you have to shake it a lot too. Bit of a non-feature really.. it's easier just to press the button on the side.

I need to put SELinux in permissive mode permanently for a few things. Can someone tell me the best way to do this for this device?

Thanks
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] countryfolk07:
You need root for sure. Then there is an apk floating around xda that will switch permissive after reboot. Also kernel adiutor has a plug in that will do the same. Hope that helps.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbiryujin:
Thanks! Any idea what the APK is closed? SELinux Mode Changer doesn't seem to stick on reboot. Also who makes kernel adiutor?

Edit: I found it. Testing it now

Edit 2: Will kernel adiutor be enough for XPosed or do I need to disable in a more permanent way for that?

Thanks so much!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] countryfolk07:
I'm pretty sure as long as you use the plugin it should be OK.

Ok so I have a asus transformer tf300t and I have been using Kat Kiss Roms for quite awhile.

I am using TWRP v2.8.1.0 and I have never had ANY issues. I was running KatKiss Lollipop 5.1.1 v29

well I was working with an app I downloaded to create a short video, anyways it crashed the tablet and started to boot but sat at the KatKiss logo for a very long time. I booted into TWRP and noticed it showed 0gb space on my internal storage. I was not able to mount or run a restore.

Here is what TWRP was showing

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] abhijitkadam03:
ya like many of you, even i had mixed experiences with battery life after marshmallow update. With doze being the new feature in M, battery drop during standby time was almost 0-1%. However, every now and then my phone refused to doze and would stay always awake. After testing several kernels with various governors and different battery saving techniques, i think, i might have hit the sweet spot (max battery life with ultimate performance).

Here's my settings..

1. Kernel : CODY Kernel 3.10.90

Governor : Performance

io scheduler : cfq (1024)

the kernel can be found here..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63345022&postcount=32

Please Hit thanks to the developer.:good::good:

2. Install Doze settings editor app

It can be found here

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/root-doze-settings-editor-android-t3235130

after installing the app use the settings that i have posted in screenshot

Please Hit thanks to the developer of doze settings app.:good::good:

3. Optional(Install Greenify only to hibernate rarely used apps)

I got 4hr of Screen on time (average), you could get even more if you change governor settings. But for me performance matters the most so i am using performance governor which keeps cpu freq always to 1300MHz.

Please hit thanks if it helps you in any way, its the least u can do. :good::good:

If anyone has any better tips then please contribute (Be together, not the same:o)

No google stuff like playstore and play services after that
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] naturist:

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] hp5942:
Yeah everything is fine without google but some apps keep annoying by asking to enable play services
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Saurabh K:
i verified this technique and sure it gives alot of backup than ever before. As i was facing serious draining issues(50-60% battery drain overnight while nothing was done with the phone) this method now makes my sparkle v last a whole day with 20-25% battery left at 8 pm. I also identified that mediaserver, mtkrild and logd were constantly eating my cpu when idle and drained 60-70% battery. After flashing Cody kernel, everything seems to be working fine. Fingers crossed for now... :)
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] sankalp217:
But the miscellaneous is still too high compared to lollipop where it would be around 20-30%. That is the main power consumer in marshmallow where it takes up almost double the amount. Any way to stop that?
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] naturist:
For example? I am planning to use Amazon Appstore to install all apps to avoid apps asking for Google play services.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] abhijitkadam03:
Miscellaneous battery drain is just unaccounted drain. Just change ro.build.type=user.

If u change ro.build.type to userdebug only then u can see miscellaneous drain (its actually hidden).

Just check this post to understand more about miscellaneous battery drain.

More battery drain when using sd card as internal storage

I am experiencing even more battery drain if I use SD card as internal storage (Android 6.0 "adoptable storage" feature. It is draining too fast even with battery saver turned on. If I reboot into safe mode, the drain is considerably slower (but still much faster than lollipop).

Can anyone verify this? I think the main problem is with the doze and the screen stays awake all the time.

BTW, In this Guide first two option requires root which requires zeus kernel according to the other guides posted here. So that mean for Android 6.1.1 I have to revert to stock rom.

[HTC Excalibur] Kichigai:
Hello all. Some of my tech background includes firmware hacking my PSP, so I'm aware that firmware hacking can have great benefits, but I'm also aware that often they can not be worth the hassle.

My question is this: Is it worth it for me to install a non-T-Mobile firmware image on my Dash? Do I gain anything? Does it get me anywhere? Does it allow me to more easily remap that stupid T-Zones button? Will it improve my device's performance speed? Will I get more free space out of internal storage? Or is it worth doing just for the hell of it?

For the record, I did get a SIM/CID unlock from IMEI Check, so I should have (theoretically) no problems installing a new firmware.

The other thing that is of concern to me is that I'm running Mac OS X on a G4, so no Boot Camp or Parallels for me. Likely, I'll have to use a friend's computer, and my concern is that I don't want to install ten tons of tools on their computer and make a whole mess on the system. Just how messy is WinMo Firmware hacking?
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
Mapping the T-Zones key is easy. A helluva lot easier than changing your firmware. Maybe not but it takes no time to map that t-zones key.

Download & Install CE Notepad.

Connect to device via active sync.

Open CE Notepad > file > open > navigate to windows folder and chose Short_IE.lnk

Change info after # to "Path to program" and save

There ya have it, T-Zones key remapped.
[HTC Excalibur] Kichigai:
Well, the T-Zones key was actually the least of my worries, I was more interested in the benefits/not-benefits (I forget the word for it) of installing a non-Tmo firmware.
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
I'm sure you'll get more programs w/ the HTC ROM than the T-Mobile ROM but you'll also lose any T-Mobile specific settings and software that they include w/ their ROM.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
I'm searching for a way to assign a custom MP3 ringtone for each contact on my 6P, just like I did for my Galaxy S3 & my Note 3. A free or paid Play Store app (doesn't matter which because I have that $50 Play store credit) would be ideal!

It's really bumming me out that the latest & greatest Nexus 6P just doesn't have that capability, or am I missing something blatantly obvious here?? For example, on my Note 3 when my Sister calls, I would hear Weird Al's "White & Nerdy". When my mother calls, I would hear "Like a G6". And when my boss calls, I would hear Cheech Marin's voice knocking on the door saying "It's me, Dave...D A V E!" His name actually is Dave, so that just fits! You get the idea.

Any suggestions for an app that would watch for incoming calls, then play the ringtone I would assign to that person? I've already transferred all of the MP3's, notifications & ringtones from my Note 3 to the appropriate folders in the 6P AND they are selectable for a default sound, but no custom contact ringtones or custom notifications sounds for each event.

Not rooted (yet, but most likely will in time) so still all stock with build MDA89D

You help will be greatly appreciated. And if I'm missing the obvious here, please feel free to laugh at my pain! :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuinnessX:
I use Light Flow for that. Other folks here have posted that it works for them without root for LED customizations, but I haven't received my 6P yet to test it myself... If it works, it should do both custom LED and sound notifications.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarheadflip:
If you go to contacts and edit the contact you want once you hit edit touch the 3 dots it should show set ringtone in the options thats just for incoming calls only not for messages
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
I will definitely look into that this evening.

That solves the custom ringtone problem. How did I miss that one?? I tried to edit the contacts as you said, but I completely missed the three dots menu. [face palm!]

But Light Flow sounds as the way to go. I'm used to having a blue LED for missed calls, green for text messages & red for voicemail. If the 6P has those options already built-in, then a lil customization of those couldn't hurt!

If you use Hangouts for SMS, you can set a custom tone for each conversation. I still prefer Light Flow, though, because it lets me change LED colors, blink rates, and durations per notification type/person. It also allows similar options for custom vibrations.

I may get the anti VZW hate on this one....but I use Verizon messages. Can use individual text tones on that. I like the app as when I switch roms, it syncs all texts and pic messages for me. No need to back them up and they are also on my tablet. However, I agree that it's BS that google does not make this a feature in the stock messaging app. I used to use Hangouts before switching to VZW messages.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beast84:
Then you don't know Android... Try again.

The solutions for messenger & hangouts are temporary. If you delete the conversation, they'll reset next time you get a message from that contact. If you want permanent solutions, you need something like textra or handcent.

Well, I'm just comparing ideas and that happens to be one that I like. I don't get why you react so aggressive to me saying that I would like it to be a core feature of Android. After all, you could do this on a Nokia 3310. I don't get why it is a bad thing to request these much more sophisticated devices to do the same. I won't ever get an iPhone an have been using Android for years - but the ring tone thing - I *personally* think that iPhone handles that better.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beast84:
No one's being aggressive. I just think it's stupid to compare features that way. Well the iPhone has it, why can't I? Do you want a big round button on your phone too? Do you want an apple logo? The iPhone has them. And I'm going to assume you're semi intelligent, being that you are on these forums... Making a request, as you put it, will get you nowhere here. Messenger & hangouts are Google Apps. No one here is going to add those features for you. So your request here is gonna get you a 3rd party app. But since you already said you didn't want that, guess you're out of luck. Enough on the that. Good day & good luck in your search for a 1st party app that has those features

Download a file explorer app such as ES file explorer.

That's it.

Now where you chose to select ringtone, you will be ask to chose from..

1. ES file Explorer

2. Media Storage

Choose ES file explorer and find the song you wanna put as ring tone or alarm tone.

That's it.. Work done for free.

This even works for individual contact tone.

Open the contact in the edit mode..

Click on those three dots for further options.

Set ringtone and then chose the ES file Explorer option.. ?

Stop being a pain in the rear. He asked a perfectly fair question. You went full retard on him. By your logic, if the iPhone has OIS in 4k video, we loyal Android owners should just shut up and buy an iPhone, if we're 'semi intelligent'? Instead of demanding better? Get over your arrogant self!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arammos:
1. First of all you need to install a third party explorer like ES file explorer if you want to set a custom ringtone

2. Then open google contacts app and edit a contact. At the top right corner are 3 dots, tap them and select "Set ringtone". A dialog opens media storage loads the default device ringtones and ES file explorer gives you the option to select a custom ringtone. Select your ringtone and save the contact.

3. If you can't see the dialog box and you see only the default list you have to follow these steps.

Go to settings and select "Apps" --> tap the 3 dots at the top right corner and select "Show system" --> Find the "Media Storage" app and select it --> Tap the "Open by default" option --> Press the "Clear Defaults" button. Now repeat the process.

I'm not sure about the length or the mp3 file size restrictions.... if any
