That's not nearly as fine. I can also barely get over 3h SOT now, and it's pissing me off. On MM I regularily used to have over 5h SOT with 10% battery left. I've lost 18% of battery capacity since then. The math just doesn't add up.

Hopefully this great community will not turn against each other now that the anticipation of update to Oreo is becoming a reality

This thread and all PN threads have been a very close knit community of people helping each other

Even sharing a beer, burger or story with each other....that's a community

Community is what keeps members here and not bouncing to Reddit, Howard's Forum, or Ask Suzie for their answers :p

We help each other, not attack

Thanks everyone in this thread for hanging in there and waiting patiently for the next thing to come!

Could be the battery is worn out are you still on the original?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nytrikx:
My battery is also giving me issues after more than a year. When the phone reaches 32% it shuts down. When it restarts, it says 1% or 0%. I need to replace it but I haven't found a trusted place to buy one. I have searched on XDA about Nexus 6P batteries, but nothing. Most links provided cheap copycats. Do any of you know where to get a new battery for this phone?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
Well yes, but how does that give me only half the SoT I, used to have?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DaBeat36:
On eBay i found original Huawei battery at a good price. I also need a new battery for my 6P but i get a new one over guarantee from Huawei. One month before the guarantee expires ;)

That's not an original 6P battery - it has a thin ribbon cable and no temperature sensor.

This one looks like it is though (if the picture is of the battery that is actually being sold).

OEM 6P Battery

Here's a good place to start :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DaBeat36:
Ok my bad. There are more of this fake OEM batterys. Good that you told me this.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Yes It's hard to find a reliable battery. I went through couple of the supposed "OEM" batteries from eBay before I got one that would function properly. And on top of that I sacrificed my temp sensor. The one that seems to be a favorite if you can find is the Sino battery. The only one I found in my Country was on Amazon and they wanted $90. Looking back I actually wish I invested in it because I love the phone.

So when pn 8 drops do we have to do any special steps like going back to syock 8.1 if i remeber a few pages back a member post a step by step process. Do we need to apply that when pn 8 drops?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrmark75:
My phone is 16 months old and I was having the exact same problem. My battery took a very steep decline in the last 30 days. I was losing 10% battery an hour on PN with EX kernel using ghost pepper profile, everything greenifyed with the phone asleep! Would scrape to get 1hour screen on time. I didn't think it was my battery at first was almost ready to reload phone. I bought a battery online threw it in and it brought my phone back to life. Now I am discharging at .8% an hour screen off and 17% an hour screen on so I get about 5 hours screen on time per charge. Its amazing!! No reload needed. Its been a little over a week and I'm a happy camper. This is the battery I purchased.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
if you are on Nougat atm.

then yes ,flashing a stock oreo fw before flashing PN O (or any O rom) is neccessary i believe.

do it that way still though, because it is a fresh start, i even did a full wipe/erased my phone. (i only use 16gb of the twentysomething available gigs of my 32gb 6p).

so it was no big deal for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
In PN past firmware updates, usually only data wipe and wipe of system partition was necessary.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Roger.T:
Interesting what has been read on XDA lately..?

Decency and respect are virtues that the generation of today has lost a little...?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
A clean install, (wiping all but internal data) should be all that is required.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] KBizzle:
I have been flashing back and forth between Nougat and Oreo ROMS since Oreo dropped. I haven't flashed the stock firmware since Marshmellow. Now. I am not telling you this cause I am a badass. I just want to let you know that there is no reason why you have to flash the stock firmware UNLESS, you run into issues. If you do run into issues, flash stock firmware BEFORE making any bug reports. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
I might have flashed this ROM once or twice :silly:

My battery was shutting down anywhere between 20 and 40%. I had the battery replaced at a local shop for $70, now it purrs like a kitten.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] qendadar:
Since we're on the topic of 8.0+.... It's been discovered that deleting your fingerprint/pin/pattern security.. Before booting into recovery and wiping... Usually eliminates the change of getting the No Sim card error that a lot of people were getting when moving to Oreo from Nougat.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
that is nice , so you only flash vendors before flashing the N/O rom and that's it ?

and i assume it is okay to have the latest bootloader/radio even when on N yeah?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Carolinaherps:
How do you remove the pin code? I didn't see an option for this under Security.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Caltinpla:

That's right. I usually upgrade to the latest radio and bootloader. They still work on nougat ROMs.

Hello all, I need some help. My sis Nexus 6P got into a bootloop. I somehow manage to unlock bootloader. I want to flash Pure Nexus ROM but i need the mod version of Pure Nexus for the processor core so it does not go back into a bootloop. Please assist me on where to get the modded version of Pure Nexus.

Appreciate the assistance. Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CNDow:
Try flashing the stock image 1st let it boot up then try flashing pure Nexus
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ratta77:
I have tried every single step. The nexus is just stuck at the Google with the bootloader unlocked signed. It restarts on it own and gets stuck at the Google image.

I have a message saying bootloader need to be locked to check for corruption etc is this an issue or normal ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] weazie:
Normal. Please list your initial steps precisely so that we can start to try helping you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ratta77:
FLashed stock Nexus 7.1.2 image (didnt manage to get it to boot)

flashed twrp

Then i wiped data etc flashed vendor.img and pure nexus rom

still stuck at the Google bootloop.

Important : Whole reason i am in this trouble is because of the bootloop issue nexus processors are having. I was lucky i somehow manage to boot up the phone and unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] weazie:
Ok, so this thread I think, is familiar to you?

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279

At least you can possibly get back to booting stock ROM. I'm not sure if that boot.img can be used to boot PN. Somebody else know?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ratta77:
Yes still didnt get it to work

Could it be the motherboard fried ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] weazie:
I don't think so, but anything's possible if you don't tell the exact steps you take every time you try to fix it :) otherwise this is just a guessing game.

So

1) flash the stock 7.1.2 from Google 6P images stash.

2) See this guide, part 10

3) flash the modified boot.img (7.1.2, check that the versions match between firmware, vendor and boot.img) from above-mentioned post.

If the device does not boot, I'm out of answers unfortunately.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Definitely a possibility. That's what happened to mine. ( I took a picture, screen went black, then there was no resuscitation that would work) I sent it to huewai and they replaced the board.

Sounds similar to what happened to me as well. Wouldnt let me boot into system, recovery. Only to bootloader, when I rebooted, stuck at Google. So it would constantly get stuck at Google logo, wouldn't allow me to flash anything Even when trying to hook it to PC and use fastboot. Trying everything possible you could think of. Allowed me to do nothing i tried. So I Sent it to Huawei because It was just inside of year, they repaired it, sent it back, said it was the mother board and that they replaced it. This was my experience, and it was indeed the motherboard

Good luck

Quick question for those who have replaced their batteries. My phone shuts down anywhere from 35-40% - 15% yet when I check battery health in AccuBattery it shows as 88%. So my question is should I even bother trying to replace the battery? Thanks guys
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
Yes.

I'd take that battery health measurement with a grain of salt. You're having the battery issue that has plagued the 6p. New battery is relatively inexpensive (just kind of a pain to replace).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DmdStar:
Yes, it's worth it. Had same symptoms and about 85% health. After battery replacement, was at 102% health and about 6 hours SOT on average. It has since started getting worse after 4 months, but still at 98%.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] untouchablez:
Thanks for your feedback guys. I have a ubreakifix close by so I'm going to have them do it, I don't have that much patience anymore lol. None of the newer phones really caught my eye and I'm a little underwhelmed with the pixel 2 xl so I figured maybe another year with the 6p wouldn't be so bad
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
It's not that hard to replace. If you've repaired a laptop or smartphone before, it's manageable.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] twisted89:
I found it was actually accubattery that was causing the shutdowns, I had it installed and was constantly shutting down before it got to 20%. Uninstalled it and no more random shut downs. Guessing it was messing with the stats in a bad way.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] anmig:
Also replaced my battery 1-2 weeks ago, was squeamish but it was not bad at all. The only scary part was removing the glass camera cover.

Used a heat gun, guitar picks, and an old scalpel I had. I also used cut up aluminum strips from soda cans to slip under the camera cover glass and an old drivers license to squeeze under the battery.

Warning do not be too aggressive with the heat gun on the lower plastic cover sort of deformed mine but I use a case any way.

My Nexus 6p is like brand new and now I am extra careful with only charging it when I need to and not leaving it plugged in all the time.

It is working so well it made it easy to skip the pixel 2. Still hoping they introduce the SD card back to pixel phones.

Also I have not given up on Pure nexus and still willing to wait for update since everything is working well anyway.

Peace

I am on a Nexus 6P (angler) and the rom is working smooth. I'm also using Xposed framework with tweaks like Gravity Box and its working great. This right now one of the smoothest Roms for Marshmallow (Screw'd is good too). Only bug I faced was the the Camera UI kept crashing immediately after opening. I uninstalled the Play Store update and reverted to the Gapps default camera. The Camera was still crashing so I rebooted, then reinstalled the updated from the Play Store. This time the Camera opened up and the tutorial popped up. Everything works fine now. Maybe it was crashing beacuse the tutorial didn't show up last time/or was trying to open and crashed the app? But now everything is great, I love the Rom. Great job!!﻿

Does anyone have any issues on WhatsApp where the msgs only comes in when you enter the app?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] dunstan92:
Nope I'm not running on aggressive doze. Am on elementalx kernel and yeap, I restored WhatsApp from titanium backup
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Uninstall WhatsApp and set it up fresh, restoring from Titanium Backup can cause that. Backup your messages in WhatsApp > Settings > Chats and calls > Chat backup. Should allow you to keep the messages, you will just need to re-add your settings.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SouL Shadow:
On a similar note I've been having a problem with sync in general lately. I first noticed it on my nexus 5 running carbon rom and now on the 6p the past few days. It's been most notable with gmail not syncing until I enter the app or sometimes I have to manually refresh. I just went in to the Google account sync settings and noticed most services had not been synced in a day or more.

The only changes to the N5 (which is still running android 4.4.4) have been Google play app updates and both phones started having the issue about the same time. At first I thought it was just a connectivity issue, since i'm on the road 80% of the day. But the past couple days have been home with no service issues.

I saw mention of doze settings... Not sure exactly where those are located, but if I'm having the problem with an android 4.4.4 ROM then doze probably isn't the problem.

Idk.

Anyone else seeing similar sync related issues?

2. Wipe the gmail app data and cache

3. Reflash gapps

Im dreaming of Oreo* Pure Nexus* Substratum* Fi* Wifi Calling by [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DmdStar:
That's what I did too... Ubreakifix did a great job. I don't have the steady hand or patience necessary to do it myself, and for $80 was willing to let a pro do it. They also assured me that they use genuine OEM parts. I have no way to verify that, but I do know that at least initially, the new battery performed amazingly well. Seems to be normalizing now, but no longer have the shut off at 25% issue.

There are obvious signs of them trying to get into the chassis, but not horrible. It just doesn't look new anymore. Bugs me as I like to keep my phones pristine, but ah well... That's what a case is for. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DoubleD84:
I just wanted to throw in my results on the battery fiasco. I had the same ~15% shut down and terrible battery life. I had to keep it plugged into my service van to make it through the day.

I bought the battery from NewEgg (Canada)

https://m.newegg.ca/products/0SC-00F6-001C9

Replacement was easy peasy. I've replaced the screen three times and swapped out the whole chassis (I left it on the roof and a truck ran it over after it flew off) so it was nothing to swap out.

It has the small ribbon cable but I still get varied temperature readings from accubattery. After a couple weeks of charging it's reporting 99% capacity in the app. The original was ~80%, I can't remember exactly. Screen on time is 5hrs. I can't complain, it's like a new phone again.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] weazie:
The fix is to replace the battery. Sorry to say.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:
If you google it, there are a number of you tube video guides for battery replacement. There is a whole thread on it in the 6p forums as well. It really is not that hard. If you are worried, you can pick up a spare glass cover, bottom plastic cover, housing, etc for less than $25 on eBay. Choose your battery carefully, as there are a lot that do not have temp sensors, etc. But, the phone will run like brand new once you are done. Take your time when doing it - it is not a race. I actually just used a hair dryer for mine - plenty hot to soften the adhesive.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] appro77:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I did an advanced wipe and wiped everything except Internal Storage, installed "twrp-3.2.1-0-angler" fine and then flashed the rom plus Beans Gapps. The phone tries to boot and stops at the first white Google logo on the black background. That's where it stays.

Rebooted recovery, wiped and flashed the rom only. Same result. :(

Help please.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] E30Nova:
I had that problem on another room I flashed. Just sat at the Google logo for forever. Rebooted it and it booted right up.

Did you flash the correct vendor? Do the md5's match for the room and gapps?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] appro77:
I'm an idiot. I missed the step of flashing the vendor image. Is there any way to tell which one I need now that I don't have a bootable rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] E30Nova:
If you flashed the latest version of Pure Nexus, this is the vendor you need, straight from the OP:

https://goo.gl/pUEuYg

EDIT: sorry, I guess that's a link to a bunch of vendors. I guess since the last PN build was in July, try whatever vendor was released in July.

I'm on 8.1 so I don't remember the correct vendor for 7.1.2. :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] appro77:
Thanks. I'll try July and see what happens. Are there any Oreo roms that are mature enough to flash? I need something reliable.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] E30Nova:
I was on the 8.1 beta and it was Rock solid.

I'm on ABC ROM right now and it's good. Not on the level of Pure Nexus, but it's reliable and has a pretty good amount of customizations.

Which version of Gapps did you load? I think the "minimal" (or whatever it's called) does not include the camera. It's easy enough to load it from the Play Store, however...
