Confirming ., One or two cores dropping when connected to turbo charger.
[Nexus 6  General] SciFiSurfer:
I installed the preview after the final one had been released. The two biggest issues I found, other than some extra instances of apps crashing, was much lower battery life (still decent, but not as good) and multimedia playback would keep going out of sync between video and audio.

Other than that, I really liked it, and I can't wait until they finally work out the remaining issues and release it.
[Nexus 6  General] juggaknot77:
I was on the final build 4, final preview or whatever Google wants to call it for a month and my battery life was terrible, never went into deep sleep.

Went back to Marshmallow and battery is back to normal, no issues..
[Nexus 6  General] cameraddict:
This behavior makes sense to me. The N6 heats up like a campfire when on the turbo charger. It also heats up under high load. They probably throttle on turbo charge to avoid the possibility of battery instability or some such heat related issue.

Also possible is the throttle allows the charger to throw more juice at the battery and charge faster then having to charge and support the astronomical freqs of it's 4 cores.

My phone arrived a few weeks ago with the final preview installed. My battery life has been awesome! 2+days off of the charger with 7 hours of SOT and about 10% battery left. It hasn't changed with all of my apps installed. (though I did just install Firefox to block ads in the browser. It seems a bit thirsty.. so these numbers may change). But I'm happy with the battery thus far on N.
[Nexus 6  General] puffingonj:
I've had nothing but great battery life , with stock and non stock kernel installed. Now on unofficial cm14 and only issue is Bluetooth connectivity for some of us.
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
How are people compiling unofficial builds without the source being out for shamu yet?
[Nexus 6  General] Phrodini:
Maybe from previews..it will be nice to try cm builds on the official tho..N has been nice for me on moto g 2013 and when I had it on shamu.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
The source is there and anything needed per device can come from preview blobs or updated manually. People here don't wait for Google. Heck I have been running 7.0 on my n6 since it was posted to aosp.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Hi there,

Which one of the "early" Nougat ROM did you find to be "the best" and why?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Phrodini:
Would say dp5, I liked dp3 mainly because of dark mode.
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
I didn't think the kernel and hardware drivers for the kernel had been released yet, which should leave us with the DP kernel and binaries hacked in from the various DP. Is that not true?
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
My fault, I didn't specified, but I was referring to the "early" custom ROM appeared (4-5 of them I am not wrong).

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Phrodini:
My mistake. I haven't tried any for shamu, tho I am thinking of nutty by ratchet
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
I was thinking to switch to Nutty too, for the tweaks it has, but I will wait, though, until October 5-6 ... maybe we will have the chance to get the official N ....
[Nexus 6  General] atlp99:
Yep, cleared data for Gmail. If I toggle sync off and then back on it works for a little bit then stops working again. It was working before the March update.
[Nexus 6  General] fguerra024:
So after not being able to figure out why my camera seemed to be borked, I decided to just do a factory reset through Settings. Camera works again. Strange.
[Nexus 6  General] Mjuksel:
Well, I'm on the last 7% of my charge, and I have to say that so far everything is working like a charm.

I got little over 4 hours screen time with some basic usage (browsing, texting and a bit of youtube)

LOVE the split screen, the overall UI works for me too, El Goog did a good job cleaning it imo.

Will sit on this till the official release I think.

Camera apps

For me the Google camera app works fine and so does Pro capture. With CameraZoom FX i just get pics with a bunch of wavy lines.
[Nexus 6  General] blue0302:
Same here. How did you turn on the dark theme?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
You guys are about to use video applications with split screen?

Netflix is choppy, YouTube stops playing when it's not the selected window. Hulu doesn't work at all in split screen
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
remember.. this is still a preview.. your mentioned problems exist as per changelog
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Sorry, some folks seemed to be talking about it as if it was functioning properly. I just wanted to know if I was missing something.
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
its still buggy.. it works sometimes, sometimes it doesnt.. doesnt even have any stuttering to youtube on my N preview.. but as per google this is a known issue.. lets wait till next release..
[Nexus 6  General] swae187:
I like Android N. I did a manual flashed and only a few programs crashed initially after that everything is running smoothly. I noticed a few program throwing errors about the libraries but they still run and don't crash. Battery life is great, using my phone all day, I previously had pure Nexus ROM and liked the battery life, however this is an improvement over that.

I did notice the battery percentage disappearing.

Other those mentioned I'm using it as my daily driver.
[Nexus 6  General] CroW_D:
Since I am set up thing here and there and find some alternatives for some apps that chrashed here my dd to. Using pie from playstore instead of lmt. Works so far all good very impressed. Hope the Preview 2 get ironed out the libraries problems excited ?

[Nexus 6  General] xda user24:
I can't say for certain if battery life is all that great for me.. I can still get through most of the day without having to charge but as of now am looking at 3 1/2-4 hours of screen on time. Definitely not terrible but I can remember getting at least another hour of battery life

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

And I'm not sure if this has been even mentioned, but has anyone noticed that when you rotate the screen the on-screen buttons have an animation? I don't believe they have in previous versions.

[Nexus 6  General] Semseddin:
I will answer myself as i couldn't wait and flashed N preview. My game Marvel contest of champions didn't even start with android n. So i had to revert back.
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
I've been running the preview since Friday. It is really smooth, seems like most things work well even in this early build. I've not had any issues with hardware like wifi, cameras, or bluetooth. Just had issues with library errors. The Direct TV app and TBS apps both crash when they start to play videos. Hopefully that will be resolved in the next update, those apps will be updated to work with N. My battery percentage disappears when I make changes in the UI settings.

The auto night modes doesn't seem to work automatically.
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
did you enable location ?? it usually is triggered when location is on..
[Nexus 6  General] Chahk:
My choice of Live Wallpaper (Muzei) does not stick after a reboot - it always reverts to the N's default wallpaper.

Dirty-flashed from stock Marshmallow.
[Nexus 6  General] bushako:

Can someone verify that wireless charging work? Mines don't seem to work.
[Nexus 6  General] nedd1:
My experience so far, some apps don't work, some apps give an error about libraries but still work, some of the system animations are glitchy and cause stutters sometimes.

I like all the little changes, nothing is annoying me.

Battery life seems to be really good (took a few days to settle as I was playing with the phone so much). My phone is off charge for 34 hours and I still have 30% battery. Pretty normal usage of calls, messages, email, browsing, games, I used hotspot for about 30 mins earlier, spotify and podcasts on my commute.

Overall I'm impressed. Plus the OTA flashed over my custom Lite ROM with no issue so its a win-win.
[Nexus 6  General] da0ne:
mine is working fine
[Nexus 6  General] rakesh.aggarwal:
Some horrible battery life experience. Was eating as much as 20% battery per hour in sleep mode. Tried multiple installations same issue.

But its an eye candy.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
Recently work in Android N
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I was having terrible battery life too. (Almost half of what I was getting on the latest stable M release)

I'm on the OTA update over stock non rooted image.

Long story short, I think I found the culprit. Android Pay was still running despite being incompatible with N. I disabled the app and now my wakelocks have all but vanished. And my phone's running much cooler. I'll continue to test throughout the day.

Other than that. I've had minor screen locks where it will just freeze for maybe a minute, then be fine all of the sudden. Little hiccups like this remind me of the early gingerbread, ICS days but not a dealer breaker..

Overall, I think I'll keep this as a daily driver.

Edit: enabling multiple process webview in the developer options seems to improve stability a great deal.
[Nexus 6  General] Joe92T:
Ive had it about 2 days now:

Overall Impressions I think it would make a good daily if you have a high tolerance for BS... What I mean by that is functionality wise, it works great..

GENERALLY it is adequately fast, however I have had numerous times where it seems to Hang and have extreme latency in the UI which would probably make a lot of people angry if they had to deal with clicking an app and waiting 5 seconds before it pops up every day... Not all the time, it is intermittent, but it does experience slowdowns.

Lastly, Battery life....

Unplugged Phone at 7 Am, its now 11AM

4 Hours off the charger

1 and a half hours screen on time

im at 63% battery

I may of been spoiled because I came to the N Preview after previously being on Beans MM Rom, which as we know is Dead nuts reliable, I couldnt ask for a better daily then that
[Nexus 6  General] DogzOfWar:
My overall experiences have been largely negative. I've had trouble with:

- reboots when toggling airplane mode

- general flakiness when connecting my bluetooth exercise headphones

- a few reboots when trying out some Google VR / Cardboard apps (although to be fair, I just got Cardboard and didn't try it until 6.0.1)

- My favorite game (Dominations) has some negative interaction with Android N and Google Play Games. Apparently it's a known issue

Besides that, it's been great. I love the new notifications, I love being able to change the display size for real (and not use janky adb commands), I sorta like the split screen mode, etc. Battery life has been great (although part of that could be I can't play my favorite game which I was addicted to, so my overall screen time is lower).

But I would advise those who use it for a daily driver to hold off.
[Nexus 6  General] vasilios.kappa:
hello to all

In general my experience is very good with android N. Today i realized that when i receive sms, i can see it in notification area, but can't find it in messenger, furthermore i can't send messages through google messenger. I installed a 3rd party app and now its ok. Furthermore cant delete same old messages. Anyone else with this problem?

thnks
[Nexus 6  General] Joe92T:
One thing I have noticed which is kind of an annoyance is that Android Wear does not seem to function with N, no notifications get sent to the watch upon arrival on the phone. - even though its showing connected
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
Yeah stock messenger don't work will with N

just root unistall it

then use something like textra

and every thing will work
[Nexus 6  General] trojan horse:

I think my phone has lost its fast charging capability, anyone else facing the same?
[Nexus 6  General] bauerat02:
I have been running for a day now. Seems like a daily driver for me. The only app that doesn't work as well as 6.0, is QuickPic, and I have a neutered version that isn't tied to the play store so it won't update to the new versions since Cheetah Mobile took over. The image gets pixilated with previously viewed photos when zooming in - must be something with the way it caches? Notifications to Wear are a bit delayed. I had a call that started ringing on my watch 10 seconds after I ended the conversation. Not a big deal to me. Otherwise everything else is working smoothly and battery seems okay. Anyone verify if the Quick Charge is working? Mine seems a little slower to charge...
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
quickpic have problem indeed even for the last version

I did not try quick charge for a while

I will try and report on that
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:

Wear notifications are working fine for me with my Moto 360 2.
[Nexus 6  General] BaumerS4:
One small annoyance I'm having is that when I set the battery percentage to be displayed in the icon under System UI Tuner, it reverts itself after a little bit, sometimes an hour, sometimes after several hours.

Also, was having an issue where the microphone was not functioning during calls randomly, but that's gone away lately - fingers crossed.
[Nexus 6  General] Joe92T:
In regards to Android Wear, I receive Call Notifications and I can see my phones battery % via the watch, so I know they "talk" to each other -- However I am not receiving Non-Call Related Notifications on the Watch... Aka Texts, Gmail, Facebook ETC.

Also the stock battery % indicator is near useless having it inside the small battery icon itself

[Nexus 6  General] Locoman_:
It's just a preview or novelty worth 10 minutes of my time for now. There's just too much customization available on other roms, mods and kernels. N will get there but it'll take some time and I don't mind the wait, there's so much available now to enjoy!

Both issues are directly related. without HD then no simultaneous calling/data.

[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
All of this happens with a clean flash:

Bugs:

1- Import contacts from sim card is not possible.

2- Live wallpapers do not stick after a reboot.

3- On a rooted device a number of different apps are unable to either acquire root (e.g. File Manager HD) or mount system as R/W (e.g. AdAway).

Feature (?)

1- On an unrooted phone the / and /system partitions are not readable by a typical file manager or terminal emulator.
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
I enjoyed the N preview. I like the new features. I only had issues with streaming apps like DirectTV. I also had an issue wiht menus early on, but it was corrected by clearing the cache. This week my phone has been hunting for signal. I am on Project Fi. It just hunts all day. I tried reboots and clearing the cache, but couldn't fix it. I switched back to MM last night. It was easy to request the OTA and have it switch back. The google restore worked really well with getting my apps back and where I had them on my home screen. It didn't seem to save the app data, but that is fine.
[Nexus 6  General] cerico76:
I'm not really " happy" with this preview! I've got a few issues. I can't access to the developer options,force closed a lot of times (just when I'm in "setting" and occasionally when I tap the drawer icon. the drawer remain on the left of screen.
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
Read thru first 5 pages only, can't read all 13 of them, here're my issues tho:

1. Night mode -- I struggled to enable it, now I'm struggling to disable it. The switch slides, I go back and see it didn't take effect.

2. Had to unpair and pair again *some* of my BT devices. The small Monster BT speaker for example would connect to phone but would not produce any sound (sound was still coming from the phone speakers) until I unpaired and paired again, now it works. The Android Wear watch would not connect to the phone at all until I unpaired/reset and paired again (trivial, but time-consuming process). However my car's phone integration and music streaming kept working and BT headset also worked. Weird.

3. Random slow-downs -- I don't know if there're specific apps which affect it or what, but 2-3 days in phone sometimes randomly slows down to a point where I have to reboot it. Happened only once so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.
[Nexus 6  General] Travelawyer:
Went back to 6.01 after I could not use Instagram on N.

Other problems: I could not enter my meals in Myfitnesspal, since the input window was constricted to two small lines. I need a daily driver I can rely on and N is not that. Yet.
[Nexus 6  General] padhu1989:
Add night mode to quick settings and enable/disable from there.
[Nexus 6  General] gammaxgoblin:
I'm not impressed, but it's essentially an alpha/beta release. I've noticed a system lag which is fixed by freeing up RAM. All I really want in my Android life is a dark ui, like all gapps and if they can make night mode do that, I'll be happy, or if they can create a layers type theme ability I don't think I would root......OK who am I kidding. I look forward to more releases.
[Nexus 6  General] HellandB:
Anyone able to use the Microsoft OneNote app? It force closes randomly, often when trying to start writing on a note. I tried different accounts and old versions of the app. Using stock OTA, did reset factory reset after N upgrade.

Using Onenote is a deal breaker for me and as theres no web version, and third party apps like MobileNoter dont work i'm afraid I have to revert to marshmallow.

Any tips on how I can use OneNote on Android N?

Cheers!
[Nexus 6  General] cyberbandit1998:
I don't know why people complaining it is a developer preview not meant for daily driver. I however am using it for daily driver and had no problems all my normal apps work,root working,found advanced reboot app that works and pairs with car Bluetooth without problems. For first review N is awesome and when it gets time for official release N going be one of the best version of Android out. Maybe even good enough to get the Apple yuppies to cross to the dark side.
[Nexus 6  General] rsequeir:
Been using it as a daily driver as well on my Nexus 6 in the last seven days.

Main issue at the moment is the Netflix app. It doesn't show any image, just a black screen (sound and subtitles working just fine) when I try to watch anything directly in the phone's screen. A few issues with Instagram camera as well.

Everything else working just fine. Will keep using it as daily driver.
