[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
You still have warranty. You should probably try support from Huawei (or Best Buy if you purchased Geek Squad coverage) and RMA the phone if they can't help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proguers:
Thank you guys so much!! I had the exact same issue and holding the power button for about 90s finaly turned it on. Unfortunately I live in another country and bought the phone in the US so there is no support at all here. Just praying something serious doesn't happen...

Thank you guys! I was almost out to buy an iPhone, this thread is a life saver (and money)!

For those that holding the power button doesnt work, check to see if the device shows up on a pc via device manager under ports as a 9008. If so this guide might help you: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/howtos-debrick-nexus-6p-stuck-edl-9008-t3552838

It was connected to charger, puck it up and it was off. 10 min before it was working. tried everything from https://support.google.com/nexus/troubleshooter/3337561?hl=en with no lock. pressed power button for like 4 mins, still nothing. and also connected to a PC to see it will show up in device manager but nothing was there :(

Hi... Does it get hot when plugged to the charger?

Try leaving your phone plugged during 24h... It seems to have worked for some people.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Behzadsh:
Hi, It's about 2 hour that it's connected to charger and it's getting a little warm.

Hope that work!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychomaniac189:
has anybody tried this????
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pointclouds:
I have replaced my battery since it was shutting down at %30. I have done everything very carefully and nothing has been damaged, but the phone is dead and won't turn on with the new or old battery. I have checked the phone and connections many times, nothing seems to be wrong. The phone is brick and won't come back on even with several minutes of pressing the power button.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Try holding down the VOLUME-DOWN button while you press the power button. Hold them both for at least 1 minute.

If that doesn't work, do it again, but this time with the charger connected to the phone.

It sounds like both your batteries are actually at 0% charge, even though your phone showed them to be at 30%.

By the way, what is the brand and model of your device. You should always indicate this information. Without it, it's much harder to get the help you need.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pointclouds:
It is Nexus 6p. I have done everything suggested here and on the entire internet :) . it has been on the charger with all button combinations for hours.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Ok. Knowing that it's a Nexus does help. I had the same issue with my Nexus 7. I had to put a good bit of extra pressure on the power button. Apparently the power switch has an issue making contact. Then I held down the power button hard for about 2-3 minutes! It hurt my finger LOL...but it finally turned on. You could also try "playing" with the power button for it to eventually make contact.

Regarding the process of holding down the volume down button while you press and hold the power button while charging the phone. What I meant was that you need to start with the phone disconnected from the wall charger. Next you hold down the volume down button (phone still disconnected from charger) and keep holding it down. THEN you connect to the wall charger while still holding down the volume down button. Don't let go of the volume down button. NOW you press and hold down the power button with extra pressure. Do not disconnect the charger. Keep holding power (extra pressure) and volume down. Maybe for a minute or two.

Finally, in terms of ideas...have you tried disconnecting the phone from the charger and letting it sit for a few hours? Then instead of connecting to the charger again, try turning it on.

Other things I can think of are mostly questions for you:

1. Are you charging the phone from a wall outlet (?) , or are you using the USB port of a computer (?)?

2. What does happen when you connect the phone to a computer...does the computer recognize the device by chiming?

3. Can you boot into recovery mode?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd8bny:
how in the hell..

did this work?!

Thanks guys it just did the trick
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
We can't know which "this" you're referring to. And it's kinda hard to guess which "it" worked for you.

But we're happy that you're back up and running!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintminty59:
I have same issue phone died half way through whatsapp, I have tried all steps nothing works. Holding power button down while plugged into PC brings up a Qualcom USB device COM4 but thats it. Is there anythng else I can try?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
What? Can you please explain yourself more clearly. What do you mean when you say your phone died HALF WAY through Whatsapp? I'm scratching my head. What were you doing with Whatsapp? Installing or updating it? And it died half way through the process? Or were you simply using Whatsapp when it died? At this point, I can't tell what happened to your device. Please explain. Your original post is too vague to help you.

Have you tried plugging your phone into the wall charger while holding down the volume down button then pressing and holding power?

I take it you can't boot into recovery?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintminty59:
I was recording an audio on whatsapp the phone frooze screen went black and never come back on. below are things I have tried

1. Power Button for 5 Mins

2. Recovery mode vol down + power 5 mins

3. As per google rep , power + vol up

4. charger inserted , remove , replace within 10 secs hold power for 5 mins

5. Plugged it into a PC using the USB, holding the power button shows a device Qualcom USB COM4

The detected device was QHSUSB_BULK which when driver installs turns into Qualcomm HS-USB Qloader 9808 Com15

That is as far as I have got. I am resonable tech savy so if I have this on my PC, can I still revover it somehow before sending it back. I would like my data off it.

Its only 1 month out of its warranty and I am a bit annoyed of the failure.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Well, the appearance of that Qloader driver usually signals a not very soft brick. I won't say it's a hard brick because I've seen an extremely complex procedure (search on Google) which can recover the Qualcomm device from this brick. If it ever happened to me, i would have considered it a hard brick.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintminty59:
So basically its done for? How did this happen it was working perfectly I have never modded it or downloaded anything it was completly standard, only thing that happened recently is a download of latest security updates. So there is absolutly nothing I can do to get my data from it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Well it certainly sounds like it's bricked beyond standard recovery. Not sure why/how that happened.

Is your battery fully charged? Last resort is to fully charge the battery externally using a universal charger. Then try to boot to your stock recovery.

By the way, what kind of data could you have on there that isn't available via your Google account? You mean photos? What? Isn't all your data on an SD card?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintminty59:
The phone had not long come off charge before the crash, and yes I am reffering to my photos. The nexus 6p does not have an SD card only the 64gb internal memory (lesson learned buy a phone with a sd card)

Doesnt using external charger mean heat gun back cover off and remove battery?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVAngelo:
Yes. You'd have to remove back cover.

Other lesson learned....even without SD card, you could always backup to laptop/desktop, or with OTG USB mini port to an external drive.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AncientDeveloper:
For my 6p (H1511), built on Jan 26, 2016 (out of warranty), once it's powered off (or reboot), I have to wait at least 4+ hours before powering it on again in order for the screen to show; otherwise it's just black screen (but everything such as sound, vibration, touch, etc still work, just no screen.)

I believe my black screen is hardware-related (or qcom/huawei firmware) since there's also blackness during charging even when the phone is off (there's supposed to be a charging icon & percentage. Pressing the pwr btn doesn't show the icon/percentage either.) Bootloader and recovery are also black (but fastboot & adb still work, just no screen)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karan7117:
Nexus 6P is not turning ON

My Nexus 6P has gone into bootloop after upgrading to official Oreo update.

I haven't manually flashed the device or anything.

I visited Huawei service center in Gurugram, India and they said it will cost me Rs. 20000 to replace the motherboard.

But my question is why should I pay if I haven't done anything wrong or unofficial to my device?

Huawei customer care executive is blaming it on Google that it's their mistake to send a faulty upgrade to my nexus 6P.

I called Google Team and discussed with 4 of their executives and they are saying Huawei should repair the motherboard for free.

Please tell me what should I do?

I simply am not rich enough to spend 20000 for something I have no fault in.

Please suggest a solution.

Please.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Sure. If your phone is outside the warranty period, it's time to buy a new phone. Get on with it.

Thx dude you save my life !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohammadmhs:
same thing happened to me 22 days ago and I totally abandoned my phone until I read this post and I did exactly as you said and nothing happened so basically I just held the power button for 2 and a half minutes and nothing happened I got really mad and I started spamming the power button real quick and then I just tried holding the power button one more time and suddenly the phone started .

It doesn't make any sense at all but at least the phone is working again . and by the way my phone got stuck in the boot loop of death a while back and I have been using the BloD mod ever since
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] mth7386:
Here is a simple modified mixer path that increases headphone volume. I use viper4android so I keep my hifi DAC turned off. If you turn on DAC, you're going to have to mod a few other fields to boost the volume. Mixer path and how to:

1. Download mixer-paths.xml

2. Using a root explorer, mount R/W and navigate to system/etc

Rename current mixer-paths.xml to mixer-paths.xml.bak

3. Move modified mixer to the same folder (system/etc)

4. Change permissions to 0644.

(rw-r-r)

5. Reboot

The mixer-paths.xml.bak is your original and backup. Don't delete it.

Download Modified: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6nMZXyugfMJdmswdmRRTXZpYVk/view?usp=docslist_api

Edit2: Added stock mixer path link below.

Edit 3: For anyone not using v4a and miss having an EQ in Google Music settings, there are certain EQ apps that'll work and add the setting back to the menu. I won't link to the one I'm using until I get the ok to link it.

Edit- standard disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone or anything that happens after applying one of my personal mods. You assume all liability and responsibility for applying any non oem modification to your device, regardless of the source.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Amd4life:
so wait, you prefer viper4android over the ESS dac? that seems interesting, please offer your opinions

nice mod by the way, does it also impact, improve the speaker? I have one on the way out of curiosity, but I keep reading how poor the speaker and bluetooth output are. Does viper make a noticeable improvement?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] mth7386:
I'm sort of obsessed with audio but not quite an audiophile lol. I do like DAC for my flac files locally stored. But I stream 90% of the time and the DAC driver doesn't handle that as well. Plus the DAC driver is only applies to the jack so if you Bluetooth stream, it doesn't apply. And v4a is such a noticable improvement. I can tweak so much it blows people away when I play v4a vs DAC. It takes a lot of work to tune viper but it's totally worth it to me. I use the expert settings.

This mod is just for the headphones but I can do one for Bluetooth and speaker if you want. The speaker on this v10 sucks though. It's really bad actually lol
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] mth7386:
If you want to be my guinea pig, here is an advanced modified mixer with ext speaker mods and DAC mods for headphones. I haven't tried it yet but in theory it should work. Lol. Don't anyone else try this file unless you know how to undo it. I'm not responsible for blown speakers, ear drums, or women throwing panties at you cuz your speakers kick. :)

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] mth7386:
Haha You gotta get out of work first my friend. ;) let me know what it sounds like. I changed a few decibels and hrtz along with some DAC stuff.

I got DAC to work with viper but requires some low level work. Regardless, you should be running SEL permissive if you're going to do anything with v4a.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] stevepick2:
Or you could just edit the mixer paths file your self...... What I did
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] mth7386:
Yup. But I found it easier to just do a swappable file to save my thumbs from typing out line numbers. ;)

Wait did you only change the top ones like in your screen shot? There are a few more lines throughout that I had to change to get the volume boost without distortion and popping.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] stevepick2:
What values did you change? In the mixer path you uploaded the RX and HPH values are at stock level
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] mth7386:
Lol we both had the same thought at the same time. I'll do a screenshot.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
Can you make a stereo sound. I know the speakers sucks so there's no point in making it louder so some sound coming out the ear speaker would help even if it's just a little bit.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] mth7386:
Here is the first of many I changed.

Dang. It Is louder with that mixer path file. Not that I needed it any louder. Using a Fiio E12 amp
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] mth7386:
No worries. If you want to try before I get it posted:

Install v4a as user app

Install the driver

Under developer options turn on Awesome Player

Set SEL to boot permissive

Reboot

If that doesn't work I'll have a post up tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murderwolf:
So I recently just switched back to Android after 2 years of ios and decided to buy an unlocked note 5 from Verizon. I'm using the note on T-Mobile and I was just wondering a couple things.

1: How do updates work for me, do I have to wait on Verizon or T-Mobiles approval?

2:Is it best I root this phone in order to get rid of all Verizons crap?

3: What's the best way to get a close to a stock Android experience with Google now and be able to keep the s pens functionality?

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbaz.kagzi:
1. Samsung takes weeks to port android updates made by google and then carriers take atleast 1-2 month to release major ota provided by samsung

2. You cannot root verizon devices(they have locked bootloaders)..

3. If you want close to stock experience install google apps(google launcher,and other stock apps) from play store and use them as default apps. Also, you can apply aosp or nexus theme from samsung theme store.

I got the strap from Amazon. If you search for ceramic 20mm, you will find it. It comes from China so it takes awhile to be delivered.

I have ordered the same band a couple of weeks ago and am waiting patiently while enjoying the brown leather strap for now. :)
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
Does everyone here have small wrists, I'd say mine are average male but the watch look tiny.

In all the photos here the watches look nice and chunky
[Samsung Gear S2] Ethania:
Post a picture of your arm.

Might not be as average as you think.

Anyway, the watch is big enough. Bigger and you cant wear it in the gym,

which is a sellingpoint for me. My watch from Certina is just a little bit bigger.
[Samsung Gear S2] sefrcoko:
It's a question of personal taste. I've got used to large watches but I figured the Gear S2 classic would be perfect since I have small wrists. Once I got it though, my first thought was that it was so small lol. Tbh I would prefer it if it was slightly larger, but it's not really a "small" watch...If anything, it's standard size but may be too small for anyone used to the oversized watches currently in style. My two cents, in the end it comes down to what you want on your wrist I guess :)
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
True is the same as a few of my watches but I think the measly 20 mm strap don't help.

I found my Gear 2 was big and could not slide under my shirt cuffs, be nice trying the S2 out tomorrow.
[Samsung Gear S2] ArborRes:

Here's mine. The strap is a ceramic one from eBay, although it's a bit different from the others I've seen in this thread. The face is my own creation, still a work in progress. Based on the original Omega Speedmaster (although the dial still needs some tweaks, like removing the later model "professional" text and adding a bit more definition to the index bezels). The left complication shows battery percentage, bottom one shows steps in thousands and the right one shows the date.

Yeah, the strap pins are REALLY tight and hard to remove if you want to remove links. I destroyed the tool supplied with the strap trying. In the end I used a screwdriver like you, but fortuntely survived without permanent injury. Still took pulling with a pair pliers til my face was blue to get the pins out after pushing the initial bit out.

The ceramic is tough, though. Not a scratch after all the struggling during resizing and dragging all over my desk at work.
