I'd love to know more details on how you accomplished this; I'm one of the folks who has abnormal system drain after a clean flash with no apps, with os/system always being on top for battery drain. When I have my apps installed, I barely get 90 minutes of SoT time, with wakeblock, with greenify, with aggressive doze. My daily commute is about 30 minutes to work, and if I have my phone unplugged in the car, navigation ends up cutting through approximately 15% in those 30 minutes. This started happening after 7.1.1, and got much worse on 7.1.2.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] specialk00:
I have a suggestion to make. I don't have enough programming experience to know if this is difficult to implement or not.

One of the battery icon modes is a radial one. The less battery you have - the smaller the circle is. The problem though is that it uses radius instead of area of the circle. When you have 65% for example, the circle looks way bigger (about 80%) and becomes deceptive.

Does anyone know when Google is going to fix the problem with the Bluetooth volume? Every time I connect to my car's Bluetooth I have to readjust the volume again.

holy shiet "Gestures" in settings contains a swipe fingerprint down to expand notification drawer gesture.

and unlike all apps i tried so far for that it only reacts to swipe down.

another swipe down across the fingerprint sensor fully expands quick settings.

swipe up closes notifications or quick settings.

just like on the pixels.

luv ya for that [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] it really helps in situations where reaching to the top of the screen with your thumb is troublesome :good:

just out of curiousity how did u make that possible? i read its impossible for the n6p sensor to distinguish swipe directions. i also read about a firmware update that might enable this some day but no confirmation it will happen.

one thing which would be super awesome: if i could tap through notifications with a short tap on the fingerprint sensor (including reply text fields) and a swipe left or right across the sensor removes the selected notification. dunno if thats possible.

How does one achieve such battery life? I'd kill for this, whats your setup like?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
Turn your screen permanently on, set it to absolute minimum brightness, put your phone down and wait...

Seriously though, a lot of 6Ps have poor battery life because the battery has deteriorated. I replaced mine and have gone from an average of 3 hours SOT per charge to over 5.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] EVOSerb:
How did you replace your Nexus 6P battery? Who did it? And where did you get another genuine battery?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
How did you do that? Can you please share?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alienflorina:
If you notice he just used Vlc. No messenger, what's app whatsoever. I guess if you just play with the UI you can get 7 hours.

I get 3:30-4:30 hours sot depending how much NBA live I play and I'm happy with it. [emoji12]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bps119:
I have this as well. It occurs every time I have a notification.

Edit: I believe an earlier poster was correct in guessing the theme was the issue. I changed my theme and the message doesn't appear any more. I was using Belo theme.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
I replaced it myself using this guide and this battery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TheGTS:
That's interesting because even when i disabled all themes, i would still get the message.

I just did a clean wipe and used the same theme i had before, with no issues. But I'm glad you solved the issue!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Gonna make you unhappy. My current setup is PN + Beans mini, stock kernel with no mods. For info on my usage (light), scroll through the posts I have on this page, there are three and not much has changed. Two of them have screenshots showing the crazy battery life I was getting on PN MM, I would probably enter them as exhibits A and B in the debate over battery life MM vs N.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

I actually found that kinda odd, The app I use the most is Moon Reader Pro (e-book reader). Out of the 2 apps I think I used VLC for about 30-40 minutes to stream music from my PC and Moon I probably used for about 4.5-5 hours of that SOT. Yet Moon doesn't even show up in the list of apps using battery. :eek: Yay for black screen/grey text on an AMOLED screen. :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alienflorina:
Well so if use my phone as an expensive ebook reader ,I may get 1-2 more hours sot [emoji12]

P.s. I use a dark substratum theme too. It may help a bit
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blop135:
Icons please? ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
I am actually talking about the theme.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Sorry, I misunderstood. The theme is Lone 4Subs, with Metropolis selected under the settings and setting icons overlays.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Better battery life than using it as an under powered, tiny screened gaming platform. :p

BTW when I mentioned my black screen/grey text I was referring to my reader setup. So basically most of my SOT is only drawing enough power to draw a page of grey text, which I'm pretty sure is negligible.

Dark theme is the only way to go. #WhiteUiMustDie :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alienflorina:
I totally agree mate on dark themes. In addition, everyone can use their smartphones the way they want. But don't make average users wonder what they doing wrong getting half sot from what you mentioned.

Hi

I am using latest Pure Nexus, clean install. The pick up phone to see notifications feature, doesn't seem to work, although it is enabled.

Anyone else having this problem or just me?

Any solutions?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
Settings, gestures. The bottom button, turn on.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pe81ge:
As I said before, it is already enabled.

Have you flashed O recently? Does your proximity sensor work? I'm asking because after O messed up my proximity sensor then my lift to wake didn't work either.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pe81ge:
You are absolutely right! My proximity sensor doesn't seem to work. I tried Android O for a few days, before I flash PN. Any fixes??

Thank you in advance.

What do you mean by zip within a zip?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
I think he means a zip file that appears after flashing opengapps inside the folder where opengapps.zip flashable is stored. You can delete that folder I think but just saying.

I just did some more testing and it is indeed having the clock settings master switch set that causes the clock to switch color. You do need to reboot after making the change for it to stick. I hope it sticks for you:good:

I'm just using time, but I tried date and time and it also worked.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GCbard:
Does this rom have OTA?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NovaSlim:
No
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eep2378:
No.

But you can sign up for pushbullet notification, so it serves a similar purpose.

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] any plans on adding a feature to block persistent notifications from lockscreen?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TeriusPR:
I'm going to ask for any suggestions or help for this situation I'm having even though it doesn't has to do necessarily with the Rom. I received a very good feedback here and I'm very comfortable with it because you guys always figure a way. So, my Google Phone app doesn't shows the voicemail tab, I've checked all settings and nothing enables it, someone said that I had to enable my Google voice account but since I am classified as International (even though my country belongs to the US, Puerto Rico) it doesn't let me get a google voice number or set it up. So I guess no google voice for me, I think I'm pretty stuck in that part right? If not, someone help me with that please? You guys have it visible? Help.

Edit. My carrier is AT&T

If you look inside the zip of almost any Gapps (TBO, Banks, Slim, PureNexus), you'll find the actual apks, library files, etc, that get flashed to your system partition.

This makes things very convenient if I wish to push a file back that I've deleted...as all I need to do is unzip the Gapps, grab what I want, push and reboot.

Here's what resides inside Open Gapps...

When I'm testing a themed app, and need the original, I don't feel like combing through that mess to find what I need.

Please note that I've had zero issues with Open Gapps, and the above isn't a complaint.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] sniperpriest42:
Oh ok I see it now, but is there any reason that OpenGapps decides to do it this way vs the other way that the rest of the packages go with?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
It appears to help keep the file size small, even for the complete packages...from the OP of Open Gapps thread...

[Nexus 6P Android Development] lovemachine35:
Great install guide. I followed it with my verizon 6P that had factory 6.0.1 (MMB29M) image, systemless root, decrypted, elementalx kernel, and xposed. I added one more step in the flash process as shown below for Viper4Android.

1) Made sure no layers were in Vendor partition.

2) Used Titanium Backup to backup non-sys apps with data.

3) Made nandroid.

4) Since I was already on 6.0.1 (MMB29M) image, I didn't need to load radios, bootloader, or vendor.

5) Wiped System, data, and caches.

5) Flashed: Rom, Gapps, ElementalX, and ViPER|Audio™ 2.2 Dark 5.x.x-6.0.1 by guitardedhero.zip

I am feeling the awesomeness! Been using for 24 hours with no issues so far. Thanks everyone.

Good stuff! If you need help getting TWRP installed (custom recovery), just follow Heisenberg's guide here which goes over unlocking and flashing. Welcome aboard! :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hello2ew:
Hi just to clarify this ROM is not based off the Nexus 6P factory image right? Cause I can't quite grasp the difference between AOSP ROMS and stock Nexus ROMS. But if that's the case, does this also mean that there will be a degradation in camera quality?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
This ROM is based on AOSP. Being based on AOSP basically just means that the developers are free to change the code and add features as they see fit, factory image ROMs can't really do that (or choose not to, most of the time). No, there is no degradation of camera quality.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thesticks00:
Can't get into TWRP from the power menu. I can't figure out if I have done something wrong. Using skipsoft toolkit, I installed TWRP when I rooted the device. BUT whenever I hit power button in rom and select recovery, it does not boot to TWRP. I can get TWRP to launch by powering down then hitting power and volume down. I can also boot to TWRP using the skipsoft toolkit. But the option in the power menu does not work for me.

Also, I have since installed TWRP Manager from play store. It does not detect a custom recovery installed and when I try to install one using the app, it gives an error.

Is it possible to get the recovery option in the power menu (when click power button) to boot to TWRP? Help please.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] peoples_flip:
I've had this ROM running on my device for the past 48hrs with ElementalX kernel and I'm loving it.

What are the advantages of adding ViperX ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dieselbuddeh:
Flash the latest factory image using the flash_all script. Then reflash recovery and PN from there.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bdwilk:
That's the first I've heard of that fix. I fixed it by flashing stock 7.1.2 and doing a factory reset in settings. That's the only fix I know of.

Can't think a reason NOT to upgrade. I just flashed the latest version the other night. No problems to report.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
Battery drain is usually a result of your setup/apps you have installed. I would review these things and use a battery monitor like Better Battery Stats to look for obvious culprits before blaming the ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bubble2:
I recently had some battery drain from android core services

A service I never seen before in the battery stats

[Nexus 6P Android Development] d1n0x:
I think all the people reporting bad battery life are right. With the exact same apps, kernel and device settings I experience the highest drain on PN out of any ROM I've tried. Something's up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bubble2:
No I already had sync under control (on for contacts only anyway)android core services seems to cover most call text related google apps and sync too I guess

But these updates to phone,contact,messenger

Trigger a bigger battery drain so uninstalled updates

And reverted to originals cured it

Did not need to adjust sync settings at all

Will wait for next versions of these apps before updating again
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fatasian:
my battery died and i got stuck in a boot loop. i used nexus root tool kit to recover flashing stock. android immediately updated to 7.0. can i just flash a 6.0 rom to get back if i don't want 7 or am i stuck?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
I think with a ROM yes providing you flash proper vendor with stock 6.0 might be different process but ultimately you can just search how to downgrade.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tronderbataljon:
Hey, a question here.. Not that I suspect that PN is causing this, but my phone never enters deep doze. Always some activity going on. Can someone someone help me out? 7 hours this night should look different on the stats I think??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AlkaDragos:
Yep, after all the battery tests i've made, can't yet figure out what it's causing this drain... I have the biggest drain until now on PN but seems that for everyone out here everything it's perfect since none replyed to my bad battery replies. Anyway...i've installed BBS / GSAM / WLD, none can provides stats that can actually tell something about this huge drain.

I had 20 hours of uptime (charge cycle) with 30min. SOT, i didn't use my phone much, and my stats looked like this

Android System (28%) - CPU Usage (3h. 20min), Keep awake (9 min.)

Android OS (9%)

Screen (3%) - 30 min.

So where is the logic in here? So i've been using my phone for 30 min. (active display) i have 3h of Android System usage (????) but keep awake 9 min. :eek: (partial WL are matter of minutes, kernel WL are PowerService.Display and some other thing), nothing relevant.

I aslo used EX Kernel Manager app to display active / idle power usage and the idle drain goes up to 1.7% which is WTF?! for 10 apps that i have installed (and no, i don't have a culprit app) this is huge, before clean installing i had like 60 apps and idle drain was ~0.6 / 0.8% which is awesome!

Another example will be, i've turned on my mobile data, used phone for like 10 min, turned it off, and my battery went from 60% -> 40% in 1h after that, without any active connections / usage, just "idle-ing" (screen off)...this is crappy.

Whatever.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d1n0x:
Yeah like I said, something must be going on with the ROM. I have the exact same apps installed, Greenify the same ones and have EX kernel, ElementalX governor, touch boost off on every ROM I try. I also have BBS installed and the EXKM battery monitor service running constantly, but can't make out anything suspicious. I don't have apps keeping the device awake unnecessarily and have aggressive doze enabled. My cell phone signal is always full in my dorm and in the city, so that factor shouldn't play too much of a role. I am on WiFi most of the time anyway. I also disabled "keep awake" in App Ops for Google Play Services and Google Services Framework.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evrk:
Got the same picture as well. No big flat lines despite not using my phone very much. It doesn't enter into deep sleep. No custom kernels/ root only PN installed.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nbaj2k:
Just downloaded the latest ROM everything is working great as usual! Was just curious, in the Google app I don't see the 2 tabs on the bottom (the regular one and upcoming).

I had it working fine on the last version of the Rom but in this new version I can't get this to show up.

Is there a way to force it to turn on? I tried clearing the data of the Google app but that didn't work.

Thanks!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] SightSeeker:
I already have. I believe they are going to replace it even though my warranty was up in December which is super cool.

When did you go through the process? Were they still selling the 6p? I'm wondering if they would have to give me a pixel or not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Was about 3 months ago and they sent a refurb 6P. I was passed the 1 year warranty and they didn't even question it. Phone has been great and was immaculate condition.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SightSeeker:
It just went through and I ordered the refurb. Hope the battery is brand new. I use my phone a lot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ithorien:
Man, I bought mine directly from Huawei. Doubt they'll be this lenient, it's 3 months past warranty on mine and I really don't want to buy the tools I'm missing to take this thing apart, let alone possibly breaking that camera glass.

Did your relock the bootloader before sending it back because I have the same problem with my battery, shut down at 14% or so.:(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
If you're going to send it back you definitely need to be relocking the bootloader
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SightSeeker:
I got stuck having to say I was rooted when I was on the phone with them because she was asking me questions in my "about" phone area where my menus weren't matching hers. She said while they don't discourage modding the phone, it could be the cause of the issue and asked me to do a factory reset from the settings before requesting the replacement. Doing that doesn't unroot the phone or anything so I am just going to do a factory reset like they asked and send it back as is. I don't think they even care once they get it back. They are going to go through a whole procedure with it before putting it back out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
If the cause was the Rom, everyone running PN would have terrible battery life. This isn't the case, as many, many users are getting close to 4+ hrs sot on a regular basis with the original battery, myself included.

I would suspect it is a 7.1.2 issue.

While my battery life has slightly diminished from PN MM and PN 7.1.1, it is minimal, and certainly not terrible.

Last night I got 97% deep sleep over 5 hrs; latest PN and Flash F2FS kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blop135:
Factory resetting from the phone does not relock the bootloader right? I have to relock it with adb after I reset it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SightSeeker:
Right. You will need to flash the stock images then lock it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pr0adam:
Is the only way to fix "Cell Standby" battery drain over night to update my radio?

Im on the old 3.72 T-Mobile radio to avoid the signal dropping bug, but my phone isn't entering doze overnight and cell standby is the #1 drain when I am asleep.

Also, Android System is my top battery drain and wondering what are the best steps to diagnose it and figure out the issue myself. Should I just slowly uninstall apps one at a time until I find out which one is causing the background drain?
