ROM attempting to download system update?

Hi all,

I encountered a scenario and I am not sure why it occurred. Back on Wednesday, August 9th, after leaving the house my phone notified me that I had used 2.8GB of data in less than thirty minutes. Horrified to see my data being pillaged, I shut off my data connection for the rest of the morning while I tried to figure out what caused it. Nothing happened in the afternoon, so I shrugged it off as a freak incident.

It happened again a week later on the 16th, but I caught it a lot sooner. My phone had only burned through 1.3GB that time. My data usage indicated that "Google Services" was the culprit, though I wasn't sure why. I messed around a bit and turned off the "automatic system updates" toggle.

Yesterday, the 24th, I got a notification for an system update, but I'm on PN. If I click on the notification, the shade just closes and nothing happens. I'm certain now that my phone kept attempting to download some sort of update, but my question is why did it do this? I've never encountered this issue before, and it's going to cost me about forty extra dollars on my phone bill next month.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter? As previously mentioned I've fixed the problem but I'm curious as to what could have caused this? I'm on the May PN build; I was going to wait until the first Oreo build came out since I've grown weary of flashing new builds every month.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
Question for those with the early shutdown problem: how often did you use the included charger/fast charging, let the battery get below 20%, leave the phone powered on overnight while charging, or expose your phone to extreme hot/cold? These are known battery killers.

I've only used the one amp charger from my Galaxy Nexus, never let the battery get below 20-25%, always charge it while off, give phone phone a break if it starts getting warm, keep it in my pocket if I'm outside in the cold, and my battery easily lasts all day with no early shutdowns. My 6P is a little less than a year old, but I've seen multiple reports of people's batteries failing in under a year.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
Yeah I think it is a little overkill but currently the only way to do it as far as I know. I don't think it'll be in Oreo PN mainly because I don't think it's ever been in PN. But you can always request stuff I suppose. See if it takes
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Well...except for manually editing all the white icons wherever they are kept these days. Haven't done that since my Sammy S3. I think they were in framework.res back then...or systemui?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
Don't see any reason why that wouldn't work. Definitely the length process however. I definitely became to used to Xposed doing the hard stuff for me lol

enhanced LTE calls to T-mobile calls dropped

Has anyone found a fix to calls to t-mobile phones being dropped on Enhanced LTE. When I turn enhanced LTE the calls go through fine. This only happens to calls made to phones on t-mobile.

did you ever sign up for dev previews? sounds to me, and I think one or two other members had the issue, that you are still somehow on the beta program.

YouTube has a couple. Make sure to buy a replacement rear glass too. I thought I had taken mine off perfectly, and held onto it for a backup, and it shattered shortly after.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bleedos:
I've seen this notification on PN for a long time. It's been there for more than a week but never auto downloaded anything. I am now back to stock 8.0 so this notification is not there anymore.

By default, updates should not auto download unless your phone's connected to a wifi. And, when I trying to manually download it while not on wifi, you should get a warning telling you that you could get data overcharge from network operator. Not sure what happened in your case...

[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Actually, you can change a lot of it with substratum, you just have to look around some. A few Substratum Status Bar themes have some colored icons, especially for signal and such. If it doesn't have everything you want, you can talk to the developer of said icons and a proper 'donation' will probably get what you want.

Battery Icon Mods is one of the ones I use, and PitchBlack Origins has some colored icons for the status bar available too.

I'm sure there are others.

Lol I have never had it though I would. Mostly just a joke related to a game site known as Giant Bomb where Dan Ryckert is known to eat Oreos with Nacho cheese, remarking on a stream that he never had them in milk. [youtube]rwyhPEY3FuQ[/youtube] about 2:50 into that video is the first time they did Oreos and nacho cheese on stream. Worth it.

I wouldn't take the reports here about battery failure as an indication that it will happen to every phone. Just like any product forum, this one is biased towards all the people who have issues. Those of us who have perfectly normal battery life and the usual level of degradation over time don't post about it here, why would we?

In my case, for example, I RMA'd my phone for a refurb under the extended warranty at about 16 months (fingerprint sensor died), but the battery was still OK - I'd say I was still getting 75%-80% of the capacity when it was new. And - I don't take extraordinary care of it, as suggested a few posts back - I use the fast charger, and leave it plugged in and turned on every night, and a lot of days, too. I've had plenty of issues with Samsung & Moto phones, too - as someone pointed out, they all have issues.

Sooooo. The issue ended up coming back right away... Not sure what to do anymore. I guess to see if i can get another replacement..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Abdulaziz6p:
Me, After One year Since I bought the Nexus 6p in (20th July) Suddenly a month ago my phone turns off at 8% ...

So I've decided to Swap the battery with a fresh one because my phone is great in all ways but battery!

OMG i see the battery percentage moves in my eye 100,99,98 :confused:

btw What does RMA mean?

And if i Flash stock ROM with no root no nothing.. and go to Warranty would they see that i was rooted?

There's a tool if you want a quick and easy way to do it...

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tool-twrp-backup-restore-tool-pc-t3572241

Couldn't be simpler. (This is assuming you have TWRP)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
That won't backup internal storage though as TWRP's data backup excludes internal storage ;)

Reference
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Pavilo-Olson:
Hmm, what about that for all the system and boot data, and then an ADB pull on '/data/media'. That's a reasonably simple two step process that would work right?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
Not sure adb pull /data/media would work, but adb pull /sdcard/ should.

[EDIT] Trying adb pull -p -a /sdcard/ E:\Nexus_6P_Internal_Storage_Backup is working for me.

The -a option copies all file attributes.

The -p option shows progress.

RMA = Return Material Authorization (in most cases)

Manufacturers who sell devices with unlocked bootloaders, or bootloaders that can be unlocked, aren't as uptight about customization to their devices.

But I think once the device is returned to the factory OS, and the bootloader is locked, that's all they care about.

I have Verizon and have had this issue occaisionally. It's like the call doesn't begin. It happens 100% of the time with calling my voicemail *86 and the only solution I've found is the turn off the Enhanced LTE. Wish I had a better solve :(

People still dial *86?! Ever try Google voice for voicemail? The playback controls and voice to text transcription are nice. Similar to visual voicemail from Verizon.

Swift backup works like titanium, but in Android O I found after installing my apps that Google had backed up a lot of my data to put right back on my phone. Scary, but useful, might be time to go f.l.o.s.s. Swift backup will also backup your apps and app data to your Google drive. Well said [MENTION=4670411]Az Biker[/MENTION], very eloquently and sternly put, all while maintaining mutual respect, I know that can be hard to do. If everyone just thought how they would feel if the same stuff they do would happen to them...? Awesome, had to say something because I read the most intelligent stuff on here, I just don't get why some people won't bother to read, or still decide they want to go against the grain and make someone else's life difficult. Thank you all devs for all you do, I wish I had more to give back than that. At the least I can respect developer wishes, thank you all. Sorry for OT

problem persists even after returning to stock nougat 7.1.1 :/ Frustrating!!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] occtec:
The problem comes from two apps

1- Media storage

2- Download Manager

How to fix it :

STEP 1 : Stop the Google Sync

To do that go to [ setting > Account > Google > tick of all the Ticks ]

STEP 2 : Disable & Clear Media Storage data

To do this go to [ setting > Apps > All Apps > find the Media Storage > Clear data > Disable ]

STEP 3 : Disable & Clear Download Manager

To do this go to [ setting > Apps > All Apps > find the Download Manager > Clear data > Disable ]

STEP 4 : Shutdown Your Device for 2-3 Min then Turn it on

Now the Message Will Not pop up

STEP 5 : you need to :

1- Enable Google Sync

2- Enable Media Storage

3- Enable Download Manager

[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
It only saves the files in internal storage. Any settings, logins, call logs, messages, etc. will need to be backed up the same as you would if backing up for any other clean flash.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bryanx86:
Are you for real? Have you never know that? It won't convert messages and calls over to the necessary format to save I don't think, or restore rather. But yeah, all kinds of ways to move data around. Your phone and computer can be on the same wifi and you can transfer files like that, Bluetooth, this is xda bro, you supposed to know this maann. Funny thing is I don't even know what xda stands for, so wth do I know?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rtloeffler:
I know I can copy files between my phone via Bluetooth or hardwire but what the other user was claiming was that we could copy apps via the internal storage, I was questioning that.

XDA = I HAVE NO IDEA LOL
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bryanx86:
After extracting the apk you can. I use Wi-Fi for file transfer, about as fast as dragging and dropping, and you have access to whatever you're pulling files from as if it was an external drive. I use this app from the play store and it works great to get files from my phone to my computer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer

How can I tell if I am encrypted or not? I think I decrypted but I installed the Oreo ROM and It says I'm encrypted. But I haven't lost my international data between the time I had nought and I I stalled Oreo. I'd there a way for me to see if I'm encrypted or not?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] silentwalker07:
Just a heads up, I know it's not directly related to PN, but I tried Oreo, twice even, and there are quite some bugs/issues that I've encountered and for me it's a big deal. I've done a clean flash but when I opened my fave music player, it could not detect not a single audio file from the system. I've tried using Google Play Music, instead it will just froze and restarted my phone.

And up until I've gone through around 3 restarts, the problem from the audio player never went away, but I could play from Google Play Music and from VLC.

What a pain. Reflashed PN Nougat and I'm happy again.

Just wanted to let the devs know in case they come across this situation as well. ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galaxy s4 nutjob:
For sms,call logs, and log ins you'll need to use the batch actions from tibu
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Go to Settings > SECURITY, if you have the option to "encrypt phone", you're NOT encrypted.

If you don't have the option, you ARE already encrypted.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Just thought I'd mention that I've been runnin' O for a while and have never had any media issues at all, so it may not be an issue specifically with Oreo.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MrMiami81:
I have been running O myself for the last week and have no issues whatsoever including Bluetooth. I don't think the issue you are having is O related..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Nah, it just seems that many people in this forum have the same dry, warped sense of humor that I do. :D I've also gotten out of the habit of flashing the latest and greatest (still on the June build, won't flash again til PN O drops) so my knowledge tends to be a little out of date. :crying:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nontheoretical:
You can try titanium backup. You get one backup of each app and ots data im the free version.... but there's always a chance that making a clean flash dirty will bork something.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] silentwalker07:
Edit: nvm. I think I solved it myself haha

Edit 2: Problem went back. I dunno what's causing this to happen; seems like it doesn't read my internal storage or something. Once I play a song from Google Play Music, everything crashes again. I've read on the official Nexus 6P thread that it can be caused by SuperSU? I dunno. I guess I'll stay in PN Nougat for now. /sigh
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I've always had great results using TiBu and then only restoring app data to apps like games, sms, utilities, etc. where the saved data is very important rather than restoring ALL the user apps with the Ti backup.

One thing to be on the lookout for when using TiBu are apps that are compatible with your current build, but not with the new build you just flashed. Like M to N. Restoring those outdated apps can cause issues too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I'm not the only one that does that? :p

I like to sit on a stable build until I see something that makes me want to update. Only reason I'm up to date right now is the replacement 6P I just got....

I thought you would like to know, I just had a threatening email from Assurant, saying they are going to charge me $1000 for not returning my bad battery 6P.

But I did.

I just tracked it. It left Socorro NM on the 10th, got to Albuquerque on the 11th, went over to FedEx, got to Houston on the 24th...

Houston.

What's going on in Houston? Why would no mail have been processed or delivered in the past several days?

DAMN YOU HARVEY!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toonlinkmaster25:
Hey I'm currently on the March build. From my understanding, I HAVE to do a clean flash which entails wiping system, data, and both caches then installing the latest vendor, rom, and magisk (in that order). Right?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Zwitterion:
Why does the recording feature of the stock google dialer not appear in the diaper available for this ROM? Am I missing something? Many thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] borxnx:
Yes, a full wipe/clean flash is required.

You should also update the bootloader and radios. When I updated from a 7.1.1 build of PN to a 7.1.2 build, I actually completely wiped the device and flashed the latest factory images from Google, then reinstalled TWRP, factory reset, wipe system, wipe caches, flashed ROM, kernel, and Magisk. You would probably be fine just installing the correct Vendor, Bootloader, and Radios though, I'm just a purist when it comes to updates.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toonlinkmaster25:
Thank you so much! I thought the bootloader wouldn't matter. Where can I find a 7.1.2 bootloader?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Zwitterion:
From the factory image on Google's site

Hello,

My Project Fi is constantly attempting to switch to another network, I think. (Greyed out data bar with animated ellipses.)

If I reboot, it will settle on a network.

I've tried wiping the data in the Project Fi app. Is there anything else I can try? My next thought would be to load a factory image, factory reset and then flash PN again.

Any help would be great. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] koivth:
You can try using the repair network dialer code, or the renable auto switching code. Maybe forcing a certain carrier would help? See this post: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/project-fi-fi-dialer-codes-to-force-t3132393
[Nexus 6P Android Development] scooterbaga:
I didn't know about the repair and info codes. I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks!

I've already tried forcing a network change, it just spins forever. I believe I just let it go once and it finally just times out.

Edit: The repair failed the first time, with no apparent change. The repair was successful the second time... With no apparent change. The phone still appears to be searching for a network.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toonlinkmaster25:
Will that automatically wipe the phone all the way?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Flashing a bootloader? No.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
The only time your phone is completely wiped is when you:

1. Use the flash all script

2. Format user data with fastboot

3. Wipe internal storage in TWRP

4. Format internal storage in TWRP

5. Change the file system for /data in TWRP

6. Flash the userdata.img with fastboot (if it's still included. I think they stopped after Marshmallow?)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d1n0x:
1. Yes

2. No, only /data is wiped, meaning apps and internal storage, /system is still intact

3. No

4. No

5. No

6. No
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Wiping internal or formatting your data no longer wipes everything? When did this wizardry start ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d1n0x:
Since this phone came out. As /system and /data are 2 seperate partitions, wiping internal storage (which is the whole /data partition) will not touch /system. Only manually wiping or flashing flash-all.bat will do this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like the most logical thing to me. I've never personally tried it though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
If you wipe internal, you have nothing saved to your internal memory.

You lose your ROM, pictures, downloads, literally everything except your boot and recovery partitions lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d1n0x:
I don't think so. The ROM is essentially only the /system partition. Meaning, if you wipe internal storage (/data) it's like a factory reset with sdcard being wiped as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Think what you want. There's a reason why people say to back up your entire phone before switching to say f2fs, and I've wiped my internal before on accident, I had to use an otg because no ROM.

If you have not done it, and are assuming it won't because logically to you it shouldn't, don't tell users its true.

End up with users being stranded if they don't have a computer to sideload or an otg cable.

Edit: here I go being a hyprpcrite. I don't know for fact that changing your file system will wipe system and all, but I did lose it wiping internal
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
I also wipe internal memory without losing system. I've done that plenty of times. Flash new ROM, boot, reboot to recovery, wipe internal, reboot system.

Wiping internal only wipes the /sdcard. Nothing else is lost.

Now, if you wipe everything together - that's stupid. Of course you lose everything.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Going to test this out once I'm off work then, its happened before to me, so not sure why it would only wipe it that one time.
