[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Alas, I'm not. I just returned from the US and got to try several Pixel 2 XL. I loved the phone overall but didn't love the screen. It seemed better after the November update (man, the stock colors look dull to me!) but I saw some bad burn-in (one at the Google pop-up store had the bootanimation "G" burned-in and it showed on any bright image!). And as I'm monitoring the Pixel 2 XL screen thread here on XDA, it seems like getting a good screen is a ridiculous lottery which involves exchanging the phone multiple times.

Honestly, it's so expensive that I would like to have a good unit right away. Plus it's not even available where I live. So hopefully (even though I doubt it), Google will fix this mess. In the meantime, I hope we're getting Oreo PN for the 6P! It's the first time in a while I'm keeping a phone for this long but I can't find anything I like...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:
Change the battery. It is not that hard. There are lots of videos on how to do it. Get an eBay one that has the temp sensor though. You can usually tell from the thicker cable. I put a Cameron Sino in my phone that does not apparently have the sensor. Works fine though. You could also pay a shop to change it for you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ali8383:
after a months i return to this rom .

in your opinion what is the best mods for performance and smooth usage ?

im using EXkernel without any modification

thank you
[Nexus 6P Android Development] F350-6:
You sure it's the battery? Screen has been freezing every once in a while for about a month. This time the freeze seems to have killed it. Battery life has not been terrible.

I don't play on my phone a whole lot, but it was charged up Friday night around 7 pm. Saturday around 4 when it died, it still showed 80% or better of battery left.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:
Maybe not then. You might see, if you can get it to boot, to load a stock ROM via fastboot, then see if it is working normally or not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
My own 6P died in the exact same way, at 80% while I was using Instagram. It froze for a few seconds and died. Never started again. I got the connection sounds when connecting to a computer, but absolutely nothing else. It was fortunate for me that my partner was going to Germany, where I bought the phone, and she left it back with the shop. They've had it now for 2 weeks and still no word. It's still under warranty. I had the mother board replaced when it was 3 months old also. waiting on an email to say what the problem is/was and when it will be ready.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] F350-6:
Won't boot. Won't connect via computer. No fastboot commands recognized. USB plug in the wall has a light that comes on when it's connected and charging something. Light doesn't come on for the 6P. Had to get a new SIM for my old Note 3 to use for a temp phone and Verizon offered to hook it to their machine since the guy there thought he could get it to boot. Nada.

If you got the connection sounds when connecting to a computer, then there's at least hope for yours. Mine has nothing. Even after sitting on the charger for 24 hours.

How to turn off Update Notifications ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Quick search of this thread will show you many posts telling you to long press and then choose block all notifications...same as anything else in Nougat.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I still think the most effective method of stopping the update notification is to leave the device OFF.

100% has worked for me. It stops ALL other notifications as well. I haven't been bothered in weeks! :p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] frreak:
I am on oreo can i falsh it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ali8383:
yes u can , from recovery full wipe then flash vendor , rom , gapps , kernel (optional) , magisk (optional) , enjoy !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
I've never done this, so I am curious.

Is it advisable to do a Titanium Restore when going from one major version of Android to another?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
Depends. System apps, no. Playstore apps, mostly yes.

Anymore, you're not saving much time (data, yeah) vs Google's backup service.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jpen:
So I am going to flash back to stock and I was curious what factory image version would I use for this ROM? Would it be the "7.1.2 (N2G47H, Apr 2017)"? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Most of it is headphone Port derangement syndrome.

Myself, my wife and four other friends have now all picked up the pixel 2XL and none of us have any problems with the screen. Not one.

Side-by-side and they look identical. Go for the 64 gig version, price is good for a phone you'll keep for a few years.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Well, you guys got lucky! Out of the 4 or 5 devices I've tried, only once (the one at Verizon) seemed to have a good screen (not really talking about the blue tint there). The other ones either had bad burn-in or uniformity problems (colors and/or binding).

I almost got one but if I have to send it back overseas for a replacement or exchange, it's gonna be a real PITA! So yeah, thanks Google for launching your phone in very few countries...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] usafle:
I'm not sure if this question should go here or the regular Q&A or even the Huwaei Watch 2 forum. I've "upgraded" from a Moto360v2 to the Huwaei classic. Ever since then I can not add the watch to the "trusted devices / Smart Lock" section so the phone stays unlocked when the watch is connected. I go to add the watch and it says "Can't add device - Make sure BT device Watch 2 is on and close enough to this device".

The watch is indeed connected to the phone. So states the Android Wear app and the B.T. settings on my phone.

EDIT: It's working now. Odd.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] orangekid:
I am having an issue where no matter how small I make the nav keys, they don't actually shrink much or at all. I am trying to set them at 24p but still look huge, there is something wrong with the setting.

Any idea how to fix?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] tapeworm4602:
The first wave of Google phones seem to have issues with the screens as of late. I replaced 5 digitizers on my 6P due to softness in Gorilla Glass before admitting defeat and buying a surplus of screen protectors instead. At least the issue with PXL can be remedied with software this time around.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jun_ng_1208:
Finally it's here!

Well let's hope it won't take too long to be officially released ??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
You've waited this long....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] varunrramani:
I'm planning to flash this rom over 8.1 dp2. Should I flash the latest vendor image or the one linked here?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
The one here each vendor image is unique to that months update from Google.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ChemoNL:
Maybe you should clean flash to prevent issues
[Nexus 6P Android Development] varunrramani:
Clean flash as in the process mentioned in OP right?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
What does 5 days 14 hours mean in that pic?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
What's funny is the same 6 of us came from the Nexus 6p and none of us had any of the screen issues other people claim they're either. Three of us had them pre-ordered on launch day.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] twisted89:
Looks like a really bad upload/download estimate to me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nytrikx:
Since Pure Nexus appears to update to Android Oreo soon. I hope. Will it have support for f2fs, and force encryption disabled?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Wiltron:
Disable the notification by swiping to the right, and block all notifications.

You don't miss anything important.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
It uses the stock AOSP kernel so no, it will not have those by default and you will need to switch to a kernel that supports those things. PN remains as pure as can be for the least amount of bugs.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
May I join the "lucky-bunch/good-screen-Pixel 2 XL" club before I purchase it please?! :p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Question:

ABCrom, it's based off of Pure Nexus, correct?

So for so many people who have been dying(literally) for a taste of pn Oreo, wouldn't ABC essentially be pn Oreo? :confused:

Amirite
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
It used to be PN based on Marshmallow but Ezio branched off with Nougat and pretty much did his own thing. But yeah it's a plainer ROM as Ezio is fairly simplistic so it would be a good option to hold people over until PN Oreo drops.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Your addition would make it the heavenly 7 :p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CNDow:
Make that the great eight[emoji106]

[Nexus 6P Android Development] OneCheekyDevil:
What do you mean?

It's always been alive.

People are just impatient and ungrateful.

Judging by the amount of ETA questions, I'm surprised he's blessing us with it this year!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mvp4him3:
I agree fully, been an avid user for a long long time and I have yet to ask ETA once... patience is a virtue. When I saw his twitter post and then the picture of his feed it got my nipples hard
[Nexus 6P Android Development] virtualstrawhat9x:
It be like that, but it's gonna drop soon, so the best thing we should all do is wait like gentlemen.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
"o-mr1" is that supposed to be the 8.1 version?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] eliasps:
Asking for an ETA may be a sign of an impatient individual but not of an ungrateful one. I understand that it is frowned upon, but there is no disrespect to the developer whatsoever.

The guy on Twitter asked for an ETA and received a reply by the developer, and you guys made a deal out of it. You made a hype out of a reply on a frowned upon request.

You guys are posting stuff from the PN repo to give an answer to the ETA request.

You guys are still discussing and are hyped about the received ETA.

So, judging by your actions, asking for an ETA is a bad thing to do, but posting your hype about the ETA is acceptable? That's just hypocritical.

Every single person here wants an ETA of PN 8. Every single one wants to ask for one. The reason most people don't do it is because they are afraid of your reaction. That includes me, I'd have asked for one if I didn't know that a crowd would bully me the second after. That's what you inspire. Fear. Instead of teaching one something, you bully him.

On several occasions and on now deleted by moderators posts, you've called people asking of an ETA autistic, rude, ungrateful with an insulting and disrespectful manner.

I love this community but I honestly believe that you people need to take a step back and re-evaluate how you treat people on this subject. Personally, I find your behaviour unacceptable.

Asking for an ETA is a request showing something way simpler than disrespect or ungratefulness. I've been checking this thread daily since Oreo came out, impatiently waiting to get an update on PN. Is it disrespectful? I love this ROM and I can't wait for the new version to be released. And that's what an ETA is. A praise to the developer's awesome work.

Simple as that: I would like to know IF IT'S POSSIBLE AND NOT A TROUBLE FOR YOU (the developer) when is PN 8 coming out, because the ROM is so awesome that I can't wait for it!

I made a donation to the developer for the congrats, but yeah, if he is kind enough I'd love if he'd give me an ETA.

That's what an ETA request is, a compliment. No one demands it, it's just a request left in the judgement of the developer to fulfill it or not. In the case of the Twitter guy, the developer judged that he'd fulfill it. If he didn't, he'd just ignore it. The most unhelpful and useless thing that needed to happen is for other Twitter guys to jump on the dude and tell him what an ungrateful person he is or assume what mental illnesses he has so to inform him.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mvp4him3:
Hey man you sound like you are talking to someone direct here, did you forget to reply to that person?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
the guy above is right though, alot of people do not mean harm.

but still is like abit forceful to ask for eta all the time and pushes.

but very well put over all , just like him we can all sincerely say that we love the rom.

the hype is real i said , because i know everyone around here is looking forward to PN O , simply because PN is so good !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eliasps:
Not to anyone specifically. I'm talking to all the people (and those are many throughout the time waiting for PN 8) that react in an insulting way to a person asking for an ETA. That might include you if you too follow that pattern.

Scrolling back, I see that you agree fully to the member that called people asking for an ETA impatient (which we are) and ungrateful (which we are not), but mentioning that the reply that the ungrateful guy on Twitter got made your nipples hard. Don't you see the contradiction? It's a foul play for me. Just take it easy on the ETA asking guys. They are not ungrateful nor disrespectful.

But not to be misunderstood, the post isn't meant to insult anyone, nor is for instance my characterizing of your behavior as a "foul play" a reflection to you as a person. It's just about thoughts on isolated actions.

And to clarify on that, when I say to the people I'm referring to, that their behavior on the matter is hypocritical, unacceptable or bullying, differs from characterizing those people in general. Meaning I don't consider or calling them bullies or hypocrites. I just consider their specific/isolated action on the specific matter bullying of hypocritical.

Smart people do stupid things, doesn't make them stupid.

Good people do bad things, doesn't make them bad.

What I'm trying to say is that I don't judge the people that I'm referring to in general, but their approach on the matter of ETA requests alone.

Anyway, lengthy post that could lead to a long off-topic discussion.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
in most of the threads here on the forum, there was not much poison.

the only bad place was DU , the DU (google+ section specifically) they are overly rude.

i love this PN thread, one of the best around here.

but the bashing for asking eta is nothing new, and i wholeheartedly agree to take it easy on those guys, or just simply to ignore them if it bothers you, just ignore it XD
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Certainly anyone with more than a few months on Xda knows the "No ETA" policy is to keep the forums from being filed with excited, useless clutter, to avoid the appearance of demanding for, or questioning the slow release of an update (ie; "PN was last updated in July, is there an ETA?", "are we getting 8.0 for PN?) sounds kind of demanding, and ETA simply have nothing to do with development, which makes it off-topic.

So while I understand that some who ask for ETAs aren't intending to be rude, they are still cluttering the thread and are still off-topic as they are not development related.

I'll use my lawn mowing example. You have a neighborhood guy that starts mowing your lawn once a month for free. Several months later you notice your lawn hasn't been mowed. Would you knock on his door and ask, hey, I'm not trying to be rude or insulting, but when is the next time you'll be mowing my yard? And, would you do it every week until he mows it again?...

The vast majority of ETAs are just this, where are my free goodies and why haven't you dropped them yet, XYZ Rom dropped 8.0 a month ago....

Xda s a private development site, and while everyone isn't expected to agree or like the rules of conduct to be able to use the forum, all members are expected to follow the rules.

If you want to show a compliment, or respect to the dev, drop them a donation, 5* their thread, and THANK all their posts, and be a positive part of their threads.

tl;dr

ETAs are frowned upon, and in most situations are off-topic. So, if a user really can't wait for the update to drop, PM the Dev and compliment then with your ETA outside of the thread. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Ladies and gentlemen... Boys and girls... Gather around as I once again attempt to explain to the unenlightened as to why ETAs are so hated in the modding community... tl;dr: OMG... An ETA request is in the recent most thanked list!

ETAs are frowned upon for the following reasons:

Manys devs don't have a release schedule, so therefore cannot say when the next release will be. Many of these devs, like Beans, will voluntarily provide an ETA when they are planning a release, but otherwise will just release when it's ready.

Many users have used ETA requests as a way to put pressure on devs to speed up releases. This is not only rude, but if a dev rushes their work to satisfy the users, the resulting product could be greatly flawed.

A thread can quickly become flooded by ETA requests. It doesn't matter when or how many ETAs are posted, if permitted to continue, users will continue to post even more ETAs to attempt what has been described above.

And last, but certainly not least... Many devs would rather not provide an ETA than to have something happen that causes them to miss the deadline they set themselves and end up disappointing their users. Many, many devs take great pride in their work and are very disappointed in themselves if they disappoint their users.

Are all ETA requests meant to be rude? No. Are all users who ask for ETAs bad? No. Do only trolls ask for ETAs? No. But you have to remember that many, many, many times on many, many, many threads, ETAs have gotten horribly out of control.

Many of the people who attack the posts that are asking for ETAs have been around for quite a while and have seen how bad ETA requests can get. Many have likely personally seen, or at least heard of, a dev give up on their project because they couldn't handle the pressure of the community. And almost all do not want to see that happen on their favorite project.

No, not all ETA requests are meant to be ungrateful, just like how not all negative responses to them are meant to be demeaning, but when you're dealing with a community of literally thousands of faceless individuals, it's not if... It's when. We all have seen it on this very thread and not too very long ago. Hell... The most thanked recent post on this thread is for a moderator that deleted a very rude, unappreciative, ignorant post that demanded attention from the dev. It will happen... It has happened... And it will continue to get worse if left unchecked.

It comes down to this... Just because some of the responses to ETAs go a little too far, it doesn't mean that ETA requests should be encouraged. It has been requested many times that ETAs not be requested, both nicely and not so nice, but still it happens. The best thing any of us can do is finally listen to what the moderators have requested we do so many, many times... Stop responding to the ETAs requests and report the post to them so that they can be deleted. It's the only way to keep things civil and under control.

Okay... I'm done... Thank you for your time... Y'all can go back to what you were doing.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Heck...I was going to come in and post about ETA's not only being disrespectful of the developers private life but also ignorant of what it takes to compile a ROM from source then test it with all the usual added features....but AZ Biker and AzraelsKiss seem to have laid it all out.

Do you drop your car off to the mechanic with the check engine light on and ask immediately before he even looks at it, when can I have it back all fixed? He might tell you to take it back now broken...LOL. He won't know until he gets into it and checks it out...then if his other mechanic calls in sick?

Answer for an ETA is always the same...it will be ready 5 minutes after the upload is complete.

WireGuard is pretty darn stable, and doesn't use any resources when you're not explicitly using it. Very safe to add.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
When it was posted on XDA's portal, and in the XDA thread it is listed as Alpha. PN is not an experimental ROM that just throws a bunch of features in, it's about stability and performance.

I don't represent or speak for PN, that is just my opinion. Maybe when it matures Beans can add it, in an Alpha stage that is unlikely.

I am by no means dismissing your work, on the contrary, I think it is very exciting and a great project that I would love to use. It's just that little word "Alpha" that is a potential issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zx2c4:
WireGuard is at least as stable as this ROM, so I don't think there's an issue here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Stable Rom, with Stable kernel, and Stable mod, flashed on a Google Stable 2 device, wouldn't be as stable as PN :p

I realize WG is your baby, but no one is throwing shade, so there's no reason to compare the size of each other's swords... :D

So bought this phone on the cheap about 6 months ago(bad battery) and just got around to fixing it. Tried a couple Oreo ROMs and one 7.x.x rom. Decided to come back to what I know. Great work on this rom. Straight forward stability and decent battery. It's a shame these phones were plaugued from the start. Look forward to any updates if and when they come
