I'm on the 7.1.2 (04.23) and today OTA update to Oreo 8.0 popped out on my status bar. Is it safe to do this ota? Also if I decide to do this will my kernel get updated too? I am not satisfied with PN kernel at all.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Clark Joseph Kent:
Enough. Stop the back and forth, and consider this my only warning.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
Ok, so picture in picture mode is cool and usable, and standby battery life is better. Did you notice improvements in screen on time? In the battery stats android os was always right up there with the screen as the biggest battery wasters.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clambert11:
It won't let you upgrade even if you try. Just block the Google Play notification nor now.

If you're not happy with the kernel then flash another. It's easy enough.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrozu615:
Can I update it with original/stock Oreo 8.0? I noticed people are pretty satisfied with that. Do you know where can I find it? Or other reliable alternatives?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clambert11:

It's not an update though. It's going to completely wipe your phone. Don't expect Oreo to work miracles. In some cases you may find performance to be worse.

I've often thought about trying stock again just to see what it's like. I'm so used to the added PN features that I'm sure it would be a struggle at first.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
You aren't the only one dude. Here it sits in my notification bar, begging me to silence all notifications for Google Play services. But I know the moment I do that I'm going to miss some special notification that Google is sending me four billion dollars. I just know it's going to happen, and I'm not going to miss it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
Murphy's law dude. The day you silence it is the day you should have won the lottery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rdeets:
Definitely. I can pretty much guarantee that's the issue. The ribbon is very easily dislodged and can look connected when putting the device back together, but if isn't fully seated it will completely disconnect within a day or two.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Shaftamle:
Patiently waiting does not mean asking if he's working on it. Of course he is. All that comment does is provide an offhanded way of asking when is Oreo coming out.

It's the XDA equivalent of dry snitching. Look that up in the Ebonics dictionary

For those facing the OTA bugging, consider what I suggested above. Works for me. And I am still getting notified of updates of apps on Google Play etc.

Yep very true. I have given two full weeks for Oreo and battery is not great. Coming back to PN.

woH! thought you intentionally had it quoted 6 times because you were upset or something XD

and btw. nooo i did not ask for anything like that eta stuff!

i respect the devs here, my english is not so good.

i did not ask for a release !!

i was just curious if the owner of PN was working on oreo or left!

i am afraid this dev leaves us like the one from Chroma.. (i love chroma but chroma is no longer being updated).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nontheoretical:
Screen on time has been hovering around 5 hours.

Today was a fairly typical day. Started with full charge, no charging during the day, no games or videos. Spotify in the car, texted a few people consistently all day, a few hours of internet use on Reddit, chrome, etc., and had 5 hours 14 minutes at the end of the day.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BostonDan:
Completely unhelpful and sarcastic. I asked about the latest vendor image, and you told me to just keep my Bluetooth off.

I will not reply to additional comments to avoid cluttering up the forum and avoid an online argument.

-B.D.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mcazares7:
The best solution I found to get rid of the annoying OTA notification is to use titanium backup and freeze Google play services and immediately defrost it. The notification will return after a day or so or after a reboot. I usually have to freeze and defrost once a day.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JokerAce:
I used the link from this post. The APK is not outdated. The placement must be right.

Remember, place it in /system/priv-app and permission to 644. reboot recovery, clear cache and dalvik, and reboot.

Do what he ☝️said

FOTAkill totally works.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Shaftamle:
It wasn't sarcastic I was being very serious. First of all I said it probably wouldn't work. Vendors don't work when there a month old or a month newer so why would one from a completely different Android version work? So I gave you two possible ideas. Either keep your Bluetooth off or use Tasker to turn it off.

Because here's the sad reality even after they patch this Bluetooth vulnerability there's going to be another one eventually one day. So why not take the opportunity to use Tasker and create a profile to automatically turn it off when it's not in use. Just because they Patch blue borne doesn't mean there won't be another one next month. If you read any security article they tell you it is he completely bad idea to leave your Bluetooth on all the time. This is before and after this latest vulnerability. I ask, do you have a password on your home WiFi? Probably so and it's for the exact same reason to protect yourself and your information.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] runawaybayeh:
screwed myself?

Ive created a problem. Wanted to flash to 8. Did everything according to instructions 10 ,but forgot and neglected to factory reset first. Is it toast? If I try and turn it on It just shows Google logo with unlocked icon. I can get into bootloader. I tried factory choice on bootloader it just shows Google logo with unlocked icon. I tried start,same.Any solution? :(

[Nexus 6P Android Development] eliasps:
Just out of curiosity, and not to fall into the same mistake again... I'm running PN 7.1.2 with ElementalX kernel, rooted with magiskSU and themed by substratum theme engine. I'm waiting for PN 8.0 to be released so I can flash it. Should I just flash the PN 8.0 .zip file and the vendor image (when both of them released) or do I have to wipe stuff, disable magiskSU and/or substratum? Directly flashing the zip on previous versions got me into an endless boot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ensifolk:
Question, after going to PureNexus coming from Stock, my battery percentage is depreciating by 2 % for each down jump, instead of losing 1% at each time, there is no battery drain, but just the percentage calculation. Any idea what should I do to retain normal behaviour ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Haha! I was going to ask this question as well, but decided to lower its priority on the "things to understand " list!

But you answered it already, so I'll cross it OFF! THANKS!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] apples723:
Anyone else getting bad battery life? I just got my nexus phone monday, ran stock on Tuesday. Flashed this Tuesday night, battery life was terrible on Wednesday! Is this a known issue? I don't have very many apps on the phone either. Only wifi and data are on, brightness is rather low.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] azsl1326:
Yes! Only had mine a week and averaging between 3-4 hrs SOT on a good day. Very frustrating, especially when you see users posting 6+ hours screen time.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ensifolk:
It gets me easily through the day, not more than that though ! I get about 5 hours of SOT with little kernel tweaks. Those getting 6 hours plus probably keep on reading something for a long period of time or just scrolling on a website with everything on blacks, I barely let my device doze, Its always in my pocket.

Would it be possible (or necessary) to flash the Radio and Baseband file from the stock image, or does it come with the ROM?

No they don't come with the rom.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Oh you should definitely wipe everything when upgrading to a new OS version. I would even recommend backing everything up on your pc, do a factory reset, then flash the stock factory 8.0 image, and go through setup. Then add all your files back onto your internal storage, and flash away with whatever custom rom and kernel you choose. But that's just my opinion. It's what I did, and haven't had any troubles at all.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] slaydog:
Definitely the way to go

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Can you get into custom recovery?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JokerAce:
You have to make sure read/write is mounted before pasting it over. Then the permission has to be set to 644. (Permission is very important)

I advise using root explorer to do this as the platform provides intuitive interface.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] rrohanjs:
So i should go into twrp factory reset then boot into bootloader and flash stock rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
That's what I did. Just make sure you back up all your files from your internal storage onto your pc. I used the flash-all.bat script to flash stock 8.0, which will wipe EVERYTHING on your phone, then flashed TWRP, booted into recovery using the phone buttons, flashed SU. Then did a minimal setup of stock 8.0. Added all my files back onto my internal storage, went back to TWRP, and flashed my custom 8.0 rom and kernel. It probably sounds like overkill, however, I personally like starting from a clean slate when updating to a new OS :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rrohanjs:
Thanks a lot, I'll pm u few doubts instead of spamming this thread.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eliasps:
Theoretically that's what I'd prefer too. That's the way for being sure of having a clean system. The reason I'm trying to avoid that, is that it would take me a couple of hours to set up every app and the system in general. I guess I'll see what happens when Oreo is out.

As has been stated many times previously, in this thread;

1) O requires practically a complete rebuild, which takes a lot of time, a lot of attention, and a lot of patience to drop the kind of product Nate is known for.

2) Nate stated in the thread, the above statements would be the case.

3) Nate WILL ABSOLUTLEY post in the thread when he decides to stop development of this device, there won't be ANY question of his intent.

4) Please try to remember that no dev, owes anyone, anything. They have a life, a job, a family, and when questions like this come up, it gives the appearance that users feel the devs owe us something. Quite honestly, THAT is the LAST sentiment we should want to project, even if it's NOT what we're trying to say.

5) So, sit back, relax, enjoy the latest PN build (or try another Rom, stock O, or whatever) and be patient while Nate cooks up the next batch of goodness for our device.

Sorry to hear, really sucks, agreed 6p was a good phone. A shame.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
was your 6p new when you bought it ?

or was it a used/refurbished one ?

i really love this phone , have had it for nearly a year now, i did read some people here on xda having the phone for over 2 years (and since launch) and they have no issues.

and alot of others report alot of issues with the phone, if i were you though, i would get the battery fixed.

there are some good tutorial videos on yt as in how to swap the batteries.

a new 6p battery is very cheap ,you can find them on ebay etc.

defintely fix it first, and if you plan on moving to a pixel ,like someone else here stated first fix your 6p then sell and buy the pixel.

i personally will be holding out until late next year before getting the pixel 2 (by then hopefully the price will have dropped).

Man, this damn device.

Started freezing presumably out of nowhere. Maps freeze, Facebook freezes, media players freeze. It'll display the force close message, and after I force close the app(s), the wallpaper resets to "stock" -_-

Took my Gnex out of storage, and while it's a slower phone running unofficial CM13 (6.0), it is 19050096543x more stable than the garbage 6p as of right now. No GPS issues, no bluetooth issues, no freezing. So disappointed; can't believe how bad this phone got and how quick it went downhill.

At this point I think it's garbage hardware, I have almost no hope that Oreo will breathe new life into this thing.

Did you try a clean flash to see if that solves it? I am using my 6P without any of those issues. Both on latest PN and stock Oreo

I'd certainly try either a clean install as mentioned, or even a factory reset and start completely from scratch. At least you'll know if you have borked hardware or just a software issue.

My Gnex still has Slim 4.4.2 on it, but feels like a pager* in my hands compared to the 6P :p

*for those who are too young to understand the term PAGER, it was a small device with a pocket clip that only received numerical messages, primarily used for someone to send you THEIR phone number so you would know to call them :p It's pronounced PaY-Jer :D

Yeah man, and one of them is rumored to have ff stereo speakers. Iv come to realize that with the way I use my phone, ff speakers are a must.
