Sorry, I saw this always jumps a value up everytime you put back on the multitasking window. Strange[emoji15]

Why do you want to block that? Just turn off location services then.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Well that was my point. You don't just go blocking a wakelock like that. Understand what causes it and then look to remove the root cause of the problem. Wakelocks aren't inherently bad. Excessive wakelocks are.

I'm little new with N6P and old ElementalX user from N5 but with old EXKM.

Now I purchased this new version EXKM with all new stuff etc and i'd like to know, is this "active drain" while screen on with >20%/h is good or not?

With simple math this will give about 4.5-5hrs SOT.

Thats the usage since start

Always Monitor it by charging your device and selecting since now

You can select the option where it says since start if you already didn't knew it

And then you can monitor it

Bdw your idle time is awesome

Mine is alway above 1.5 %

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CacheOnlyPlease:
This might be a long shot, but the recent sound additions have me wondering... Is there any way we could be able to flip left and right channels for bluetooth? The reason I ask is I just bought a pair of the Jaybird Bluebuds X2's and in order to wear them in the over-ear configuration (my preferred configuration) you have to put the left bud in the right ear, and the right bud in the left ear (due to the way the earbuds are shaped). It sounds "ok" and I try to ignore it, but it's still a little weird having the left and right channels flipped. And yes, I've talked to Jaybird about this issue and they just expect you to live with a flipped soundstage... the headphones are flawless aside from this setback.

Thanks!

Is it fine to use EX Kernel manager, but Franco Kernel, or will there be problems? This is on a 100% fresh install. I want to try Franco Kernel, but I like EX Manager better than FKU (hexacore mode, disable touchboost, all around prettier).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
EXKM is universal so you should be fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] .psd:
Thank you.

If I decide to switch to EX Kernel, do I need to do a complete fresh install of everything, or do I simply flash the ROM's default kernel and then EX Kernel. I know you aren't supposed to flash EX directly after a Kernel that didn't come with the ROM.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Flash your ROM's boot image then EX.

I only use Greenify. And since my overnight percentage is usually 0-1% over seven hours, I think it's doing its job keeping things quiet.

I really haven't given the doze app a serious vetting, and I'm not sure why...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] shady195:
I need to ask something here, and I don't mean to come off rude, but do some of you actually use your phones? Is anyone here a power user? I see a lot of people complaining about battery life, only getting 3 1/2-4 hours of SOT to some of these others that end up getting 4-5-6+ hours. I never once see any battery heavy apps in these screen grabs that most people here post with the higher SOT, and then I see people wondering why they are not seeing that kind of stretch on their own phones...

I spend A LOT of time on my phone. Facebook groups, Messenger, Kik, Instagram, Tapatalk, my camera, lots of email, servicedesk and other work related apps... All these things get used to some extent every day, some non stop on a daily basis. I use my giant smartphone for what it is.

With that said, I get anywhere from 4:30-5 hours of SOT using the ElementalX Kernel with something like the MadDog profile, where as I'd get about 4ish hours of SOT on average previously without it on my Nexus 6P. Is it a huge gain? No, not as far as actual usage goes, however standby time is much greater which is nice.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with people here using their phones on a more basic level, I just think people need to be more conscious about all the factors of battery life. Don't come in here expecting 5+ hours of SOT if you use battery heavy apps all the time, and im sure as you all know Facebooks apps are some of the worst offenders..

However, I've tried to use the browser, I've tried to use the App wrappers; nothing compares to how much easier and more of a usable experience using the official apps are and some of you asking that people stop using them, well thats kind of insane in my book.

Sorry for the rant, just wanted to give my opinion and experience
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Using apps like Tapatalk, FB, any reddit app, etc. isn't really heavy use either. I got 6 hrs SOT yesterday just by doing that, with 20% to spare. The most important thing is whether you are on WiFi or data, and whether you have a good signal for the latter. In fact, today with data only I am down to 50% with only 1.5 hrs SOT, and I barely used my phone.

Also the mobile radio bug kills the battery if you keep data always on.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:
i get pretty much the same as the second half of your statement. on mobile data i get 1.5 hours or so to 50% battery

you mentioned the mobile radio bug and data on. have you figured out a way around that now?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Unfortunately I haven't found any solution that works other than turning data off completely when not needed. I don't like it because I lose all notifications but it seems to be the only option. Maybe an app that turns data on and off at set intervals may help a bit. Hopefully Google fixes the issue soon.

If you are talking about flashing the new version of elemental on tge previous version of elemental then yes you can do it

And what would happen if I dirty flashed a custom kernel with another custom kernel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Prattham:
If you dirty flash which is not recommended as a customer kernel uses your default stock Kernel ramdisk and should be flashed over stock Kernel that came with your rom

Also if you do then you might end up in bootloop or corrupt system or fc

If you are on elemental x only you don't need to flash the stock rom just flash the new version and enjoy

Hope it helps [emoji5]

I personally don't have any battery increase but I get over 5hours SoT at 60% brightness with everything Google turned on . You will notice a pretty big performance increase though .

Everyone's experience will be different when it comes to battery though , I definitely recommend you try this Kernel and see what your results are . I would give it a few full charge cycles before judging .

If I install the driver, it seems to work, I reboot and when I open it again, it asks me to install the driver (!).

I'm using ElementalX and it worked fine with this setup on my Nexus 6. Can anyone help please? [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], ElementalX still works with Viper on the 6P, right?

We cannot do this for Nexus because the stock kernel does not use modules.

Just install elementalx with default settings. It will behave precisely like the stock kernel.

Whenever WiFi is on. And my device goes to sleep for awhile. WiFi looses connection but as soon as I turn the display back on it reconnects automatically. Like almost like the option to stay connected when asleep isn't working.

The options are correct in WiFi advance. Stay connected all the time.

I have tried deleting the WiFi network and re-adding it a number of times.

Been searching around the thread but can't find a post matching my issue, sorry if this has been answered before.

I have an issue where I can't underclock the CPU and the GPU. The phone is CPU throttling like crazy due to heat and I'm really getting annoyed with that so I want to lower the CPU and GPU frequenzy but it won't let me.

As soon as I try to choose 12xx Mhz instead of 15xx Mhz it's ignoring my setting. It doesn't change at all. Anyone having the same issue?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yeah messing with frequencies has been discussed many times in this thread; don't do it. If you have a problem with the frequencies getting "stuck", turn off touchboost. If you have to, reboot your phone and let it cool down; everything should go back to normal.

Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION],

It's the first day I'm using my 6P in the "wild" (on 4G) and something is killing my battery, not sure what and why.

Please find the screenshots attached to my post. I'm running Chroma with the latest ElementalX kernel (stock settings).

Can someone help me out please? It worked fine all weekend on wi-fi. Should I reflash ElementalX again?

This is the advice I got from the battery life thread: "Chances are, all cores are active and majority of the time are running at max Frequency. What I did is limit the max frequency some (not too much), disable touchboost, and turn on hexacore mode and changed the governors."

Indeed, all the cores are running at max freq on idle. I applied the modifications and new gov is elementalx (default was interactive). Is this the ideal solution?

Thanks!

I'm not [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], but you could download Better battery stats, and wake lock detector, see what they show what is running in the background.

Or you could dirty flash Rom and flash EX again see if that remedies the issue. Or first dirty flash rom, then flash EX, check batt life, then download bbs and wake lock detector if issue persists.

Gotta love choices :D

One thing is for sure, EX is stable and 99.99% not at fault.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] theesotericone:
Yeah, that wasn't too hard. Next time please just add them as attachments.:cool:

As far your issue goes follow the advice above and install Better Battery Stats and Wakelock Detector. You have an app that is holding your phone awake. Those two are the best way to sort through what it actually is.

You're going to be limited to USB 2.0 speeds, so only up to ~20MB/s. A couple days ago I had to copy some files to my phone and exFAT was working just fine.
