Would be cool if anyone could give me an answer?

Or [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION], is it possible to implement this for our nexus 6p in the next version? (the always on display)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] vanydotk:
The Nexus 6P has a battery problem, you need a replacement battery.

My battery started to die very quickly after 11 months and I RMA it for another one, the replacement started doing the same thing. I RMA that one for a Pixel XL.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] theDK10:
So I can't take the battery dying anymore. What's the number everyone has been calling for Google to get a replacement? Also any specific things I should say instead of the battery is dying at 50% constantly and I have done all the troubleshooting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
Not mine though. I have it more than a year, and sometimes it shuts down at 4%, but that's it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bluegizmo83:
That's how mine started. After buying it new and using it daily for one year (it was literally like 12.5 months into owning it), I got my first early shutdown at around 5% and within one month after that it was always shutting down early (never reached a legitimate 0% or 1% again), and during that month it progressed from 5% early shutdowns to as high as 60% remaining when it shutdown (typical was around 40% though).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
I sincerely hope that isn't going to happen to me too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 32bites:
It probably will, I've been using mine for about 14 months.

Starting about three weeks ago it started shutting down exactly at 15% when the low battery warning came up.

Now it shuts down with less than 15 minutes of screen on time when it's 80-90%.

I'm going to get the battery replaced this week, right now I have to constantly carry around a portable charger almost always plugged in.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Basil 123:
Sorry if offense might be taken where none is intended but there are already battery problem/replacement threads galore elsewhere. The last two pages are all off-topic, having nothing to do with the rom. Could a moderator weigh in before things get out of hand please?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] swapavi:
Because that app is literally only for files that have been downloaded from your phone.

Use the built in tile explorer (settings -> storage -> explore) or download one from the play store.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] slaydog:
No shutdowns. Battery gets to 15% and red light starts blinking giving you plenty of time to get to a charger...

My new battery is actually showing at 101% ?

I get a good 4 hrs of SOT now...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Relentless D:
Been talked about before but with nothing new to report on the rom, Beans doesn't mind some off topic chatter going on. At least this "off topic" subject involves the phone :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galaxy s4 nutjob:
You can literally make it any sound you want you might have to edit the file extension (i.e change ext to .mp3)

But it you find a sound or pack you like you just have to put them in the notification folder for the browser to find them
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I take some of my fav music and use an MP3 editor, and make short notifications and longer ringtones from my fav songs/music... Great way to customize your ringers/notifications (especially if you're older like me and all the old people at work have stock ringtones)..

You can also make your own personal sound files using voice recorder, then edit and save as notification or ringtone :D

sdcard > media > audio > ringtones or notifications (be sure to reboot so the new files will be added)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galaxy s4 nutjob:
You may have to edit said files extension make it match a notification you know shows in your explorer
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Ugh, I get irritated when I hear a stock ringtone*. I'm like "Dude, come on... customize that s**t, show a little personality". The only thing worse is being handed a phone that has a stright-out-of-the-box home screen. It's like seeing a bone-stock motorcycle outside of a dealership.

*Have you ever experienced the complete ass-ache that is trying to put a custom ringtone on an iPhone? Tried to hook a buddy up with one of mine, that memory alone is enough to keep me off of a iPhone forever. :eek:

My mother never got the hang of a notification tone,. The smartest thing I ever did was make a text notification for her that was a recording of my niece saying "Grandma you have a message!" She went from never answering a text to never missing one. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I'm a military contractor working for the DoD, and most of my co-workers are 40s-60s (I'm right in the middle) and 99% of them have stock ringers.

Then I get a call and suddenly 'Drop it like it's hot' breaks the silence.

....Snooooooooooooop.....

PN kernel didn't have an option to disable touch boost it seems ?

Using kernel aduitor mod at the moment
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Fr0gg0:
The "Rrrring Rrrrring" that comes with the Pixel is the best, everyone is like "Wtf? That's annoying" when they hear it. Mmmm
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drummerdick:
I also replaced my battery. Been great so far, no random shut downs. It does only say it charges to 96% a lot of the time though. Might be new protection circuits...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Motazabed:
Will there be an Android O version? And if there is.. Any idea about a release date?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
Nope

Never plus 3 weeks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Relentless D:
C'mon, Junior!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Motazabed:
It's very sad :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrhumble1:
Greetings all,

I recently upgraded to the newest version (I was way behind) and all is well but recently I started seeing a notification from Google Play Services about Android 8.0.

Is anyone else seeing this?? If so, are you all just hiding the notifications from Google Play Services??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
Yup. Just long press and hide it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrhumble1:
Thanks for the info and DONE!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jinded:
Note that if you use Chromecasts or Google Home, this will also disable any casting control notifications.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galaxy s4 nutjob:
No no beans said in Twitter a week from nvr
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrhumble1:
Thanks for the heads-up. These peripheral notifications are what I was worried about missing if I hid notifications from Google Services, but I don't use those devices so I should be ok.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Nice. I have just the friend to use it for 'cause I know how much he'll hate it.:p

Here's one that will wake your coworkers up. :D

Hint - it ain't LL Cool J
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LuckyLukey:
Replaced mine with the Cameron Sino (European) battery. Still didn't have 100% health after replacement (Accubattery ~92%). But no shut downs and a vast improvement of standby & SOT. Sometimes doesn't charge to 100%, sometimes it does... I only usually charge to 80% anyway. Very happy compared to the **** storm I was facing to get it fixed in Australia through Google.

Hope this helps, but probably go to a thread on this / not relevant to Pure Nexus. ✌️
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BostonDan:
Hey all.

I'm wondering if there is a way to install the latest vendor image onto the latest version of PN. Basically, I am trying to protect myself against BlueBorne exploits, supposedly fixed in the latest google vendor image. Unfortunately, I cannot find the image (supposedly Google has it baked into Oreo, so I'm not certain if it is available for Nougat devices).

Any information?

Cheers,

B.D.

You can fastboot or use TWRP to flash it. Be advised, you will likely get a vendor image error at boot up. It may not even boot at all since it's for 8.0. But then again, you were just asking for the vendor, so there ya go.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] oriontattoo:
Yes. Me too got this notification today. Don't know how to hide it. Anybody know how to get rid of it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AddisG:
Dealing with it myself. It just popped up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clambert11:
I've seen a few blog posts where Google is replacing many 6Ps with Pixel XLs if you purchased them from the Google Store in North America. I love my 6P and the front facing speakers but must admit I'm thinking about trying it since my battery sucks now. Pure Nexus supports the Pixel XL, so that makes it an easier sell too. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
Long press and select hide. No more notification.

Cowboy from Hell on a twisted trail.

Koffed From my Big Ass Outlaw Phone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] oriontattoo:
That should hide all notifications from google play services. Are the Google play app update notification included?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] burningcreation:
I'm in Australia too and wanting to buy a replacement battery and tools for when I inevitable run into the early shutdown issue.

Where did you purchase from?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aswinrulez:
Anyone know where i can get Cameron Sino battery in India or any alternate battery model. My friend also faced similar issue where phone turns off with some 30% left
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Yes I've seen many. Seems that's what Google is doing now. Would be great 4 sure, however, like you also mentioned, you lose ff speakers. Iv come to realize, the way I lose my phone, that front facing speakers are an absolute must for me now. And unfortunately,, this isn't a priority for these phone distributors. Sucks :(

Use SEARCH in this thread, its been talked about a lot,. especially within the last week.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sharkie405:
I just called project fi last night about my Nexus 6p and it's battery issues. They were going to give me a 128GB pixel XL, even though I didn't buy my 64GB Nexus 6p from Google, I bought it off of eBay. The only problem was that I needed to have transfer ownership of the phone to me instead of from the original buyer. But they said as soon as I can get that done, they would send me the pixel XL even though I didn't have a warranty and even though I did not buy it from Google. I read a bunch of stuff online where people have said they were able to transfer ownership of the phone without needing the original buyer involved. So I just called them back this morning to see if they could do that. I'm waiting on them to call me back with an answer.

Edit: just got the call back and they were able to transfer ownership of the phone to me without needing the original buyer. Although, the woman I spoke to now said that she's going to send me an email with some battery troubleshooting steps I need to go through before they look into the replacement. Obviously none of these steps are going to fix it. So, I'm still hopeful that in a few days they will replace it with an XL.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] usafle:
Where / how can you check to see if you are the "owner" of the phone? I bought my 6p 'second-hand' from Swappa....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AddisG:
Hey, thanks for the info. I was able to get a hold of the seller on swappa.. he is willing to transfer the ownership to me.. what info do I need from him? Or how do we go about transferring the ownership? TIA.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alisj99:
kinda sucks replacements or upgrade is only for US sold phones.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] maghig:
What did you say to get a replacement? I bought mine on Amazon and when i called i got a very helpful trouble shooting tips list and referral to talk to huwaei.

Any one know about class actions? I remember reading about some a few months ago, but everything online that i can see looks old. Not sure if they are still being pursued. Seems Google is trying to prevent one with replacements.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kirandev:
All countries except US/UK/AUS are classified as jungles by Google. No warranty, no replacements.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pr0adam:
as far as i know youre gonna be SOL. The phone has to be sold from the Google store, and you have to be based in the US to be getting the Pixel XL replacement. The US has a shortage of 6Ps which is why they are doing this whereas other areas like the UK do not. Huawei is just gonna give you the runaround
[Nexus 6P Android Development] maghig:
I'm from the US, but I'm wondering why mine from Amazon is ineligible for replacement when others from eBay are.

I've already talked to huawei. About $180 for an official battery replacement. Extended warranty coverage from credit card will cover it, but I'd rather go for a replacement. Might just try calling again and hoping for a different rep.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] don_ernesto:
kindly request to move all the "battery exchange /pixel thing" out of this thread and keep on topic with Pure Nexus. thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kennethdavis732:
The reason is when purchased through Amazon it was from Huawei. I tryed arguing with Huawei but the customer support is just bad, they don't return calls or emails. And they blame Googles software for the batteries failing
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Relentless D:
It's been said before several times but Beans doesn't mind a bit of off topic chatter. I would think he especially wouldn't mind given the quiet while 8.0 is being worked on.

That and at least the "off-topic" chatter is about the phone we are all using.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
Nope. I still get notifications that I need to update apps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] r3k0:
Sorry if this has been answered already!

But i got an OTA for android 8 this morning?

Im guessing its not going to work if i try and run it? As im running twrp?

Thanks for any replies!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Sixchar
[Nexus 6P Android Development] r3k0:
Yer, thought so, prob best wait for a propper PN v8.0 ;)

Thanks Ricky!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DerGute:
Nothing happens anyway when clicking on the message.. But fun to see, from PN6 there was no OTA message when 7 was released..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eliasps:
Anyone knows where is the source code for PN 8.0? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Private until it is ready afaik. People like to build and share unoffical builds before officals are out
[Nexus 6P Android Development] borxnx:
It doesn't exist yet...

Anything Beans is working on regarding updating PN to 8.0 would be on his Github
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pipnmike:
Ok, I may have found the solution to the system update notification issue. In the play store, there is an app called "Disable Systemupdateservice". It needs root in order to run. It just runs once everytime you boot up the phone. From what I've seen so far, because the system update service runs before the app does, the update notification comes through right when the phone boots up. However, if you disable the notification for play services and reenable it, the system update message never comes back. So this could be a good solution for those who don't want to completely disable play services notifications. And with the app, maybe the service itself is disabled so it could help with wakelocks that may be associated with that service.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Asitaka:
I'm not requesting an ETA or anything, but man I am seriously jonesing for a PN 8.0. I'm on the latest stock Oreo, and every time I unlock it, I feel like "this isn't my phone!"

I need some substratum, round battery, custom carrier, toast icon etc.

On a different note, anyone else have trouble keeping LTE connected? I almost never get LTE anymore, it always goes back to H
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JokerAce:
Tried disable service app and didn't work. The system OTA is draining battery as it keeps running in foreground as per greenify. Any advise from the veterans here?

Edit: The FOTAkill.apk method works. Place app into priv-app and permission to 644.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clambert11:
Well I did it and called Google to see if they would replace my 6P. I was on hold for over an hour but did it while working, so it wasn't a huge deal. The Google Support employee asked me many questions and I answered them all honestly, including if my phone was rooted and running a ROM.

After talking to him for 15 minutes he left me go and said he'd call me back. An hour or so later, he finally did.

They're sending me a 128 GB Pixel XL for my 64 GB Nexus 6P. While the hold time was long, their customer support was top notch. My phone was purchased directly from their store and I was 6 months out of warranty. It's a shame people from other countries or people that purchased it elsewhere don't get the same support. Maybe eventually they will (doubtful though as the blame lies mostly with Hauwei).

I'm sure I'll miss the front facing speakers but certainly it will be worth it in the end.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tr4nqui1i7y:
It's a shame. I had purchased mine from Jet. The rep told me I should try stock again, then sent me a list of "optimization tips". One of them being "bring a charger and leave the phone plugged in when possible".
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eliasps:
Thanks guys.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
is master beans working on a oreo build ?

if so, awesome!

love PN lots, will patiently wait for an official build.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abyz12:
Yes he is working on areo ? so just please wait
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
Did anyone try the official Oreo? What's your experience from a normal users stand point, in what way is it better than Nougat? I'm not talking about candy btw :P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clambert11:
I forgot to mention there was another downside for me too, aside from losing the front facing speakers. Apparently you only get the Very Silver version. Personally I'm a black bezel guy, so now I'll have white. My phone lives in a case so I really don't care about the color of the back of the phone. If the white bezels bother me too badly I'll just eventually sell it and get the PXL2. It'll have a better trade value then the 6P, that's for sure.

The first thing I did when I received my 6P was install PN. The same will be true for the Pixel.

At least having the white front I can rock that Oreo look with a black case. Soon, when Nate finishes updating 8.0, that cookie goodness will be on the inside too. ? #PatienceIsAVirtue
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jaybo300:
So if we have to use 4 cores now, we are stuck with that? There is no going back to all cores anytime soon? Or does replacing the battery do anything. Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bryanleesh:
Hey can I know the steps how u make it works ? Cause after I installed the notification still there.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
I feel you, front facing speakers have become a must for me because of how I use my phone, which means I don't have many devices to pick from. Kinda sucks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
I'm currently running sock Oreo with EX kernel and a few other mods until PN based on 8.0 is released and it's absolutely amazing. Standby battery life is outstanding, definitely the best I've ever experienced on stock, and actually better than 7.1.2 based PN.

You're stuck like that. It's a hardware defect in the processor causing you to have to use 4 cores, not a bad battery. Symptoms of a bad battery would be awful battery life and your phone shutting down early. Those could be fixed by replacing the battery, but the only solution to having to use 4 cores is to replace the mother board.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] borxnx:
Did you launch the app after installing it and grant it root permissions? If so, try rebooting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pipnmike:
First, you need root. Install that app and open it to give your root system permission to run the app. There is no front-end GUI or anything like that. Reboot the phone. After the boot, there will be a toast notification saying that the app has been granted root access. The update notification will still appear. At that point, disable notifications for Google play services and enable it again. The notification shouldn't come back until the next time you reboot the phone. So basically, you have to go through this everytime you reboot. But it's a better solution for me than the persistent notification or disabling Google play services notifications altogether.

I think the reason the notification always reappears after a reboot is because that "SystemUpdateService" under Google Play Services always gets re-enabled automatically after rebooting, even if you have disabled it. Stupid, but this workaround is enough to hold me over until the next PN update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] maximusmullivan:
You can also freeze the notifications from Google play services. I'll take my chances with it considering I didn't get notifications before from it
[Nexus 6P Android Development] extremeking95:
Fingerprint Disappeared?

So I've been running the latest build with the 4 cores fix for a while now, and yesterday out of nowhere, I noticed the fingerprint not unlocking the phone so I figured it was just buggy. I restarted the phone multiple time, even wiped the cache in TWRP, but nothing seemed to help. Also, the fingerprint settings are nowhere to be found in the security settings. This is very odd and not sure what to do to bring back fingerprint features. Help?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
Any other observations?

I know there are tons of reviews, but I want to hear users opinions.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sugartibbs:
I laughed about peeps complaining about 8.0 update notifications on their bar, till it showed up on mine, I shouldent care, but truth its bugging me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rdeets:
Did you recently replace the battery? This happened after I replaced mine. The fingerprint ribbon got loose and I had to reseat it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] extremeking95:
Yes, actually, I took it to UBreakIFix and they did the replacement. The fingerprint worked fine the whole time, so should I take it back and have them check it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nontheoretical:
I was running pure nexus nougat then made the switch to the official Oreo build from google, with magisk, substratum, etc.

Some Oreo highlights:

Standby battery life is ridiculous. Maybe goes down 1-2% while I'm asleep. I give it a quick charge up in the morning and as long as I don't play games or watch YouTube, I get home with like a 60% charge at night. I spent months tweaking kernels, using greenify and betterybatterystats, everything I could think of or find, and I never got battery life this good. Maybe I'm an outlier, but that's what

The picture in picture mode is really cool for YouTube and Google Maps. Makes multitasking a breeze and have had 0 issues with these features.

Substratum is WONKY. I'm rooted so I haven't tried andromeda, but one day a theme was working, then installed an update and it broke everything. Dev has no idea why it happened. Tweaks work great, like mods that change QS column or Navbar height. But actual themes are very hit or miss. I still do not trust a theme that says "Oreo ready"

Other than that, its about as smooth as any other ROM I've run. I'm maybe seeing better GPS coverage while driving (was having issues on PureNexus, Nitrogen, and SimpleAOSP). One thing I do miss is battery charging light. Maybe I'm dumb and they moved it but I can't get the light to come on when my phone is plugged in to see if it's charging or not.

I really like it, and the ONLY thing I miss about nougat is how easy it was to get substratum working.

I'm prepping myself to switch to the beta build of Nitrogen Oreo, but as soon as Pure Nexus Oreo drops, I'm switching back.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CoffeeGrinder:
did you do it ota?
