Well....

My 6P performed another random reboot today, so I popped smoke and called Google.

I simply told them of my one time boot loop of death (that I was able to break out of by getting into the bootloader), and that I had several random reboots with and power offs with >20% battery life remaining.

At first they wanted to do a bunch of troubleshooting, then I told them I did a ton of reading online about hundreds of other 6P owners having the exact same symptoms and that this will eventually lead to a unrecoverable bootloop.

The rep was polite and suddenly changed his tune to "let's just see if we can get that replaced with a one-time warranty exemption) I bought mine from Google in 12-2015...

Replacement 64gb 6P will be here Aug 8th.

The rep was courteous, I was honest about my issues, and it all went well.

If you're experiencing any of the bootloop of death symptoms (power downs with >20% batt life, random restarts (not Rom related),or repeated bootlooping, I suggest giving Google Customer Support a shot. It seems they know it's an issue and they are willing to replace devices for those willing to put in a little effort :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jamiejames:
There also appears to be a fix for that. Not sure how well it works. Performance takes a hit. For those that can't get a replacement.

Good for you! And AZ, thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SFG:
The good news is you'll get a brand new looking replacement. The bad news is you will most likely get whatever battery that originally shipped with the 6p when it was new. I had to rma my phone with them 5 times until I got one with a "newish" battery. Best of luck and I hope you avoid the dilemma that I went through.

What network? I had that problem on Project Fi when it would switch networks. I had to disable the signal bars from the status bar.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
I had rebooted my phone today and now I am stuck at white Google icon only. I have already booted thrice. Can anyone share the solution or will I have to reset it? Also, I am in office and I only have the latest rom and vendor image right now so if I flash what would I miss with GAAPs not being flashed? Or can I flash a previous version of GAAP?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dodendemise:
I updated to latest version today and now I'm in a bootloop. It was working fine before. Is this the death of the Nexus 6p I've been hearing about?

Edit: Nvm before I had converted to f2fs. Please disregard.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bluetigger68:
Are you able to get into recovery? Then restore your nandroid. If it loops while trying to boot into recovery, it could be the boot loop of death many people in here are talking about.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] reference2myself:
Ah ha! I am indeed on project fi and I just forced it to switch carriers and it crashed my system ui. Now the question is why? It didn't used to do this. Looks like if I don't apply the status bar icons for the themes then I can switch carriers without it crashing the system ui. So I guess that's my workaround for now. Should this be reported as a bug somewhere? I don't know if it's a rom bug, substratum bug, or theme bug. I think the only reason it eluded me for so long is because I used to never try applying status bar icons when theming because I like the default ones.

How long should it take for a dirty flashed image to boot up?

I wiped cache, wiped dalvik, installed latest ROM, installed latest BeansGapps, rebooted...and my 6p has just been sitting at the dancing balls animation for like 10 minutes .

OK now it's up, system UI is crashing, and it's telling me I need to update my vendor image to N2G48B? Guess I'll try that.

This is from the Google Play help section: HERE.

To resolve the error-505 when installing updates via Play Store, I recommend trying each of these steps :

Ensure your device is connected to a strong internet network (Wi-Fi or mobile data). If not, try general troubleshooting tips for Android devices and steps from this help center article.

Force the Play Store to stop, and then clear data for the Google Play Store application (settings > apps > Google Play Store > force stop then clear data).

Clear cache for Google Play Services (Go to settings > apps or application manager > Google Play Services > clear cache > ok).

Clear data for Google Play Services (Go to settings > apps or application manager > Google Play Services > manage space > clear all data > ok).

Make sure download manager is turned on (Go to settings > apps or application manager > swipe left until you see all at the top > download manager > touch enable). If you see disable button, you don't have to do anything as it's already turned on.

Update the date and time on your device:

Open your device's main settings app.

Touch date and time.

If you see "automatic date & time" and "automatic time zone," uncheck them.

Manually change the date and time so that they are wrong.

Note: don't worry - we'll change them back to the right date and time in a minute.

Tap the home screen button.

Go back to your date and time settings (repeat first two steps in this section).

Manually change the date and time, so that they are correct.

Re-check the boxes for "automatic date & time" and "automatic time zone."

Remove your Google Account:

Open your device's settings app.

Under "accounts," touch Google and then the account you want to remove.

Touch the menu icon in the top right corner of the screen.

Touch remove account.

Restart your device.

Add your Google Account:

Open your device's Settings app.

Under "accounts," touch add account > Google .

Follow the instructions to add your account.

Looks like the Southwest guys are really in tune. You and I have been here long enough that our cycles have synced up. LOL

I had a low battery reboot happen at 53% on Thursday and decided it was enough. I started going through the contact process with Google and then decided that since I paid for Nexus protect I was going to use it. I filed my claim with Nexus protect and it only took me about 3 minutes, and supposedly a brand new phone will be delivered today. Kind of surprised it went so quick. Didn't have to talk to anybody and it was approved as soon as I hit the submit button. I like the fact that you have 14 days to return the old phone so I have plenty of time to get everything swapped over.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
That is the FIRST time "our cycles have synced up" has ever been used with ME in the same sentence :p

I get 21 days to return my old device. I'm curious if I'll have the opportunity to do Nexus protect with the refurb I'll be getting tomorrow?

If you have any info on that, please sent it to me via PM. Much appreciated.

Hi, is it common that the phone asking for pin input even after using fingerprint? It doesn't happen all the time but happens most of the times..

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Phazmos:
after a reboot, yes, haven't had any trouble with finger print and pin though.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
If you're using a 3rd party launcher like Nova, and locking your device with a widget like Power Toggles from the home screen, your device will not unlock with the fingerprint scanner.

If you're in-app, like hangouts, Tapatalk, etc, and lock the screen with the power button, the fingerprint scanner will usually unlock the device immediately.

To get around the issue described in the first scenario, use an app that requires root access to lock your screen, like screen off...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.screenoff

Using that from your home screen allows your fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.

On reboot, you'll always be prompted for your password, pin or pattern unlock when first unlocking the device.

Nova launcher has an option to work in root mode. It allows you to add a screen off shortcut from the Nova launcher shortcuts that turns the screen off without locking the device to pin code.

I added a shortcut to the homescreen and also defined a double click on the homescreen to turn screen off.

Works perfectly for me.

Or you can assign double tap on nova prime to lock screen. It has this option after latest updates.

Rom 19/12 + Elemental kernel

Don't have more information yet, just reporting. First day of installation didn't go so well. First after some time I had no sounds on notifications. And when trying to choose another one, phone froze and was getting the message android media isn't responding. I fixed by dirt flashing the rom again.

Now the only problem I have is that doze seems that it does not work. Last night, on 7 hours had a drop from 98% to 78% on idle with only receiving one email. I installed BBS in order to find out the cause.

Other than that rom is perfect. Everything works smoothly! Great work
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
Ugh, sounds like a real pain, definitely not up to the standards upon which this rom consistently delivers.

I'd say that your reflash of the rom seems to have solved whatever oddity you encountered, though I'd strongly recommend a full clean flash if you've not done so yet. I'm running the same setup and have yet to have a freeze, reboot or lag.

As to your battery drain, you know the routine...install Better Battery Stats, and isolate that which is causing your wakelocks. You could clear cache and dalvik in TWRP as a quick fix attempt, but you'll have better success from isolating the source of the drain.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
Which GApps did you install? It is not included in the ROM or Beans Mini GApps, so you must install a GApps package that includes the Google Camera APK, such as Beans Full GApps.

You could also use Camera NX from the 6P Themes and Apps section instead of flashing a new GApps package. I recommend going that route because Camera NX has support for nifty features such as 1080P 60FPS video recording and zero shutter lag HDR shooting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AngryDinosaur:

Hi all,

just a dumb question.

I'd want to install PN on my 6P along with Franco Kernel and Magisk.

What is the right order?

1 - wipes

2 - install PN

3 - install GApps

4 - install Franco Kernel

5 - install Magisk

6 - reboot

Is this right (especially before Franco Kernel and then Magisk or the viceversa)?

Thanks!

All kernels (aside from Gerard Kernel) use AnyKernel, meaning that the ramdisk is not replaced during the kernel flash. Most kernel developers recommend flashing the kernel AFTER Magisk/SuperSU so that the backup that Magisk/SuperSU makes is clean as possible.
