androidfilehost says it can't find mirrors for 20170725 so I went for 20170612 but the download literally says it will take a day. What gives?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Sounds like something you should ask AFH...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aostrom:
I believe that It all depends on whether you install new Vendor code when you install Pure Nexus. PN may well work fine with the Vendor code you already have installed, but if you overwrite what you have with the one specified for the July release of PN then I would think that you should restore the Vendor partition, too. Since it will take just seconds to re-write the Vendor stuff using your backup I don't quite get the reason for the question.

You didn't buy your phone from Google, but from a crap cheapo seller of left overs and scratch & dent crap, however for some reason you think Google OWES you support? I bought my very fairly priced phone from the Google store, with the extended warranty, and when I had a problem with the fingerprint sensor after a year they replaced the phone with a refurb quickly and effortlessly. The refurb has been perfect for several months now. I suggest you DO go buy the new $1,000 iPhone - you don't sound like the kind of person who values the flexibility and customization that Google offers us by open sourcing Android. After you get your iPhone load the open source, custom ROM version of iOS and let us know how you make out. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
It's an AndroidFileHost issue - it's been like this on and off for over a week now.

Afh has been acting like a pile of dung since they updated the interface.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joesf:
It’s the first time I’ve installed a custom rom on my 6p so the first time I’ve come across vendor images. I understand how to flash the rom, it was restoring my nandroid backup and whether I needed to restore the vendor part of that backup that I was confused about.

I just wanted to get some confirmation that I was doing things right.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
The FAQs and "Clean Install" instructions in the few few posts of the thread will walk you flawlessly through the process.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aostrom:
Yup, you're doing it right. Just make sure you wipe the right partitions and keep your backups safe. The instructions written by Nathan are really complete, just do what he says and you'll be fine. Ask here if you have any problems.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] maferrario:
The best way to achieve this is to install a factory image, this release of PN uses 7.1.2 (N2G48B, Jul 2017), the steps are Install the factory image, then flash TWRP, now in recovery u flash PN , Gapps, etc.

If you dont want to do a clean install you can download only the vendor from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545579678

Then in recovery do a factory reset, and in flash select image -> vendor, flash PN , Gapps, etc.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I tried to go to the next page of this thread and got a 404 error.

This has been happening a lot lately, anyone else?

As for the battery issue/jet.com, if you buy a device from a shady seller, expect subpar service. Is Jet 'Shady'? Not necessarily, but think about it. Jet.com is Walmart's version of Amazon. Some things they do great, but showing who the actual seller is on some items is not their strong suit. I ordered some AR-15 Magpul parts from there since I had a discount code, and nothing said they weren't coming from Jet itself. I had 4 parts all show up from different 'sellers' on Jet. One of the parts was completely counterfeit and the others showed up over the course of 2 weeks.

Don't expect Google or any one else to properly provide service for a warranty issue in this instance. They know who originally sold the phone, and looks like they sent you to the seller.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joesf:
Thanks all. I should have installed Pure Nexus while I was on Nougat, lol, I think coming from stock Oreo is what's thrown me. Like I said flashing the rom isn't the problem, the guides are very good. My problem was if for some reason I had to restore my nandroid backup of stock Oreo (which includes system/data/boot/vendor), should I restore the vendor part of the backup.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
I am a lobster

I am also very bored.

On another note, an observation/confirmation from others.

After clearing notifications, do they re-appear for you as well for a brief second and send your phone into a buzz fest?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] beatlesfan01:
On latest official release and tried to call 911 today. Phone wouldn't do it. We had to use my mom's iPhone. Any idea what the issue is?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Reng:
are we going to see any more updates from this group? The latest build for me seem to have a memory leak, phone gets extremely slow to the point where i need to reboot. anyone else getting this behavior?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ToryEarly:
Github shows that there is activity, so it's just a matter of time; rebuild for a new version ain't no walk in the park.

Have you tried a clean wipe and re flash :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rdeets:
I had this with F2FS and Flash Kernel. I wiped everything, formatted back to ext4, and reinstalled with ElementalX Kernel + Glashfish governor. Other than a few random freezes/reboots, it's a lot smoother.

As for your first question, patience. The next update will be 8.0, so they're building the rom from scratch basically. It'll be out when it's out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] epoch555:
I had the same issue!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] beatlesfan01:
So this is obviously a huge issue. Maybe not widespread, but how do we know? How often does a pure nexus user call 911? Maybe it doesn't work for all of us. If it was a life and death situation, it could be really bad.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nytrikx:
I have issue. Every time I open any of the settings inside "Languages and input" section, the settings app force closes.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Zwhlol-Zniper:
Does this rom drain the battery faster if the battery is close to physically dying. That is the reason I presume many people have posted getting a new battery fixes the issues?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
How can one possibly test your theory?

[MENTION=895291]RED ZMAN[/MENTION]

Its happened to me before, hasn't for a while, and I have no idea why it does. Seems like if you wait around a bit, it starts working.

Using xda labs, when it is having issues it hangs on "fetching thread" then errors out.

I can't remember it happening to me with any other threads ever.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rdeets:
Since off topic posts are allowed, does anyone have any idea when Sprint's Calling PLUS will come to the 6P - and if Pure Nexus will support it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Generally features like that are for carrier locked phones only, those supplied by Sprint. This is why Sprint's Wifi Calling is not supported on the 6P either. It will be firmware upgrades sent by Sprint to phones they support.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Man, this Pixel XL 2 leak looks really tempting! Looks like an updated 6P! But it's gonna be expensive... ? *sigh*
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I know, but that's okay. I have been with the same phone now for the longest since the G1 came out, so I figure I've saved money.

And with Google Photos and Google Play Music, I've found I rarely ever go above 35gb used on my phone anymore, so I don't need the 128gb anymore.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
[MENTION=895291]RED ZMAN[/MENTION], I've had my 6P for about a year and a half now. I usually get bored of my phone around that length of time.

The thing is I need a 64 GB phone now, don't think 32 gigs is gonna cut it. And I'm guessing PXL2 will only be 32 and 128 GB. If only Google released a 64 GB version... (or added a micro SD card slot, hahaha, made myself laugh here ?)

Point is I would almost get an S8+ if it ran stock Android and had a good custom ROM scene. The hardware is nice and it's relatively cheap for what you're getting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Oh, for sure, I'm getting the 64gb version (the 'rumors/leaks' have said 64/128gb if I remember right).

I almost went for the S8+, but the fingerprint sensor location, and my addiction to front facing speakers...

Speaking of which, question for all...

The Pixel XL is Verizon exclusive in the stores, can you treat it like a Google Store bought Pixel XL? Like running PN and unlocking the bootloader?

I've been buying my devices outright since the Nexus 5, but if the Pixel 2 XL is on Verizon at the store and I've got 3 upgrades on my account right now... Looking for advice (Leaving Verizon isn't acceptable in New Mexico unless you are always near a highway).

Nevermind, I realized I had never searched for this and looked it up. Buying outright again it seems!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] radionerd:
Rumor has it that both pixel 2 and 2XL will be offered with 64gb or 128gb.

Oops, you figured that out ;)

One other rumor is they will have e-SIMs, I searched Verizon, and can't find mention of how those can be activated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
I forgot about this rumor! Now my only worry is the price... And it's not gonna be cheap! ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Nope, and I dig it. Keep down the gene pool for a while.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] maferrario:
Ok guys, a little review about Stock O , OPR5.170623.007 . O is really beautiful, the apps integrate even more with the OS, I didn't feel it faster or smooth, it´s like N really smooth.

Battery life is horrible im getting 2 hs of SoT vs 3.5 - 4 hs on latest PN.

I installed a factory image so clean install, didn't come across any force close o app not responding, everything works as expected.

Only downside i see is the battery life i hope it gets better.

I re installed 7.1 PN to see if my battery was dying and nope, i got from the first charge 4hs SoT, then return to O and got 2 hs. So definitely is 8.0 Issue.

Currently on Stock 8.0 with BL unlocked ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kochoa940:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] maferrario:
There is no point comparing your device with mine, compare yours between N and O.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] cleps:
When using google app feed [google cards] I cannot use swype to right to dismiss. It stop working after the implementation of the new layout. Is a bug?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
Wonder why Gmail does that, thinking about it, I think that is what does it to my phone as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kallell:
How? what kind of kernel / profile?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
No magic here my friend. It all comes down to usage patterns, screen brightness, WiFi, cell signal, white or dark themes, and apps used. I use Ex kernel, with the butterfly profile. I only use native wakeblocks to the kernel. I also use an app called My Android Tools to keep certain apps from running in the background that I don't need until I want to. And that's it. As always....YMMV :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] E30Nova:
Not really.

Battery life on Oreo is fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Imadroider:
Another thing to keep in mind when talking battery life and Oreo is how the Bluetooth settings default to On and seemingly always "searching" under the tethering settings. I've always left my BT on because when I need it for headphones or car or whatever it auto-connects no problem and historically throughout the last many years of Android leaving it on when not connected to anything meant little to no battery drain. Now when left on but not connected to anything, BT looks for a connection/device to tether with on an all too regular basis for its own good. To fix this, and with Bluetooth on and enabled, go to Settings|Google|Instant Tethering and turn off the two options listed. Its the first thing I do now when setting up a 8.0 rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Surprised nobody else has said it here yet but that was a pretty overwhelming showing by Google today. I think the pixel 2 XL is a worthy successor for the 6p and have pre-ordered one. I'll still be around for the foreseeable future until it shows up of course. Anyone else here?

Most importantly [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] & [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pipnmike:
I'm torn between the V30 and the 2 XL. I felt let down by the new pixels when they were leaked and showed only a single camera, but I guess they sold me on it today with the announcement. I guess there is no way to avoid the price tag for a flagship these days with all of them being $800+. My next phone would've been the Essential if they didn't mess up that camera so badly...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] beatlesfan01:
I ordered a Pixel 2 XL through fi, can't wait for it to get here! The 6P to me is getting a little long in the tooth. I love the phone, but it was time for an upgrade.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
i ordered the xl 2 :) will be here the 18th
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
The V series looks sooo good, and before the 6P, the LG G3 was my favorite phone ever, but not getting updates regularly kills me.

I started monitoring my memory usage, and saw that after Google Photos started the unlimited storage thing, and using the clean up space portion on the app now and then, I rarely have more than 40GB on my phone anymore (Google Play Music has helped here too), so I went with the 64GB. If it lasts 2 years like the 6P, that's a win for me.

Exactly how I feel. Great phone, but I don't even keep my gaming consoles that long now. LOL Someone else can enjoy my 6P now.

YES! Woot! :angel::D:p:victory:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Eh, I like the Pixel 2 XL but:

1/ not available in France (apparently, Google can't find us on Maps...)

2/ These prices are insane! The XL is 940 euros in Germany (vs $849 in the US, which comes to 780 euros, tax included!)

3/ No headphone jack. Are you kidding me Google?!

Don't know what I will get after my 6P. I miss the Nexus days... *sad panda*
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cmzizi:
If you ever think of donating the 6P I'd love to be at the top of your list.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Oh hell yeah. :cowboy::laugh:

I don't have the 1st problem, #2 is valid, though now I'm not buying phones every year so I don't mind as much. 3...

Folks are really using headphone jacks THAT much? I mean I'm OLD, and I so rarely use mine anymore, I tried to remember when the last time was I DID.

It was May, 2016, flight back from Belize on vacation. I didn't bring my bluetooth ones and those were in my bag.

I've been using Bluetooth almost exclusively for the past 5 or 6 years.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
i read somewhere some days ago, where someone had a hands on and told me that it felt like some toy :l

i hope it is premium feeling, i still havent checked it out yet.

but it seems it is not coming with dual 'front' firing speakers (hot damn, too spoiled with the sweet 6p speakers).

and also what's the deal with so many phones lately not including a headphone jack?

do they do that because of some specific feature on the phone or something ?

i personally won't get the pixel 2 until it drops in price by half or so , sooo late next year it is !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
NOpe, it has front facing speakers.

Both do.

As for headphone jacks... Personal preference of course, but I won't miss it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
didn't know it did, so glad it comes with two front firing speakers man.

there's only one thing that i kind of dislike atm.

the way the screen of the XL looks (when i get the phone I'll definitely be going with the XL).

and it like so weird to me, but ! i said the very same thing about the 6p's camera visor thing before getting it , and now the 6p has become my most favorite phone, have had it for nearly a year now, and i plan to keep it for at least another before making the switch to the pixel 2 xl.

The only thing I don't like about pixel 2 is the missing 3.5 Jack :(
