I just did this and can confirm I got build number NRD90M and nothing about it being beta. OTA even said you are updating to Android 7.0 Nougat
[Nexus 6P General] nazforex:
According to Android Police, it is going out to Developer Preview first.

Just in case anyone missed this. Can anyone confirm that this works?
[Nexus 6P General] gasparzim:
Working here, flashed with flashfire, still have root.
[Nexus 6P General] nazforex:
Nice... Did you get a warning about the block level update?
[Nexus 6P General] frankman:
I have got version NRD90M ten minuts ago . Is this final Version? OTA in sweden from DP5...
[Nexus 6P General] gasparzim:
Yep, just ignored it. But it installed the stock google now launcher, and flashing the leaked one back isn't working...
[Nexus 6P General] coolkingler1:
I have Xposed installed and rooted of course. I enrolled in the beta just now and got the OTA downloaded.

Should I install it with flashfire after removing Xposed? Will that work? Or not at all?
[Nexus 6P General] bryce850:
The beta program trick worked for me as well!

i don't have twrp installed or had installed

i'm on stock rooted nougat..... i do most of the things with flashfire...

on Marshmallow i've flashed thousands of custom roms...but now I have decided to stay on stock nougat with root...

but as you can see in my 2nd screen above....there is an option with "Preserve Recovery" tick this

cheers

I'm actually wondering about this as well. I unenrolled from the beta to see if it will come via OTA now.

Does anyone here on NRD90U or NRD90M have issues sending hangouts quick replies on occasion?

I am still on NRD90M, going to clean flash later today, but I'm really curious if anyone else has been experiencing these issues and if they have gone away either by the new build or from simply clean flashing N...

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P General] Raistlin1:
Silly question but how do we unenroll from the BETA program?
[Nexus 6P General] gee2012:
On the same Google site where you enrolled, under your device it says `unenroll device`.
[Nexus 6P General] Raistlin1:
Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] kristiangmez:
I m just chatting through Hangouts right now using quick replies and it works great with the new release U, I also did clean flash coming from the M release.
[Nexus 6P General] tsuttie99:
Thank you for the feedback. I came to NRD90M via the OTA from DP5... and hangouts quick reply success rate for me is maybe 40%, 60% of the time it just spins endlessly and never sends. Really annoying checking my phone hours later to find i never actually responded.... haha
[Nexus 6P General] kristiangmez:
U re welcome mate :) In the past release, NRD90M, I disabled Hangouts cause ( no idea why ) it was draining my battery without even using it and then I didn't get notifications on time... very weird. By now it works good on the new U release,fingers crossed !
[Nexus 6P General] kk12002:
any hack to get the OTA in system update?
[Nexus 6P General] joemossjr:
Maybe a factory reset I heard does the trick sometime
[Nexus 6P General] danmaman:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...t-bricking-some-devices-but-google-has-a-fix/

download the full OTA and flash with flashfire if you want
[Nexus 6P General] tsuttie99:
Now we just wait for Allo..... ;)
[Nexus 6P General] Juliogol:
Stupid question. I am using NRD90M and currently having bad standby battery life. If I unenroll my device from beta program the U version will come as a OTA?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] tsuttie99:
If you are having battery issues, you should avoid the OTA and instead clean flash the latest factory images... backup everything first. Too many people are too lazy to backup their stuff for clean flash, then wonder why they have bad battery life/bugs from OTAs and dirty flashes.
[Nexus 6P General] Juliogol:
Not rooted here. Do I need to be rooted to flash the image? Used to play a lot with Samsung device but now just running everything stock I became kinda lazy. :D

[Nexus 6P General] PhilipPeake:
Yes, you can just use FlashFire (Flash Firmware Package).

Worked fine on my 6p.

The only slight problem was that TWRP would only boot as far as its splash-screen afterwards.

Re-installed from TWRP manager and now that is fine.

The only noticeable change is that Doze works better.

Looks like a full charge with no use will last about two weeks.
[Nexus 6P General] tsuttie99:
No you only need the bootloader unlocked. Then follow This guide by [MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION] has everything you could possibly want to know.

How long did the screen go black for you? Seems like my phone just turned off...
[Nexus 6P General] danmaman:
Round about 3-4 minutes...... max. 5 minutes .... Not more

and then phone rebooted automatically
[Nexus 6P General] AreOh:
What's everyone's RAM usage like on the U version?
[Nexus 6P General] asylumxl:
For the system processes I'm seeing just under 1.1GB total, which I think was about the same as Marshmallow for me. Overall I use about 1.6GB which again doesn't seem much different

Also, I experienced my first bug. Rather minor one though! A reboot got rid of it.
[Nexus 6P General] C5Longhorn:
Is it considered a clean install if I flash the whole image and then restore the apps and data from Google?
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
Yes.
[Nexus 6P General] dakunclear:
I'm not even the update show up and I'm on M and I'm a beta tester oh well
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I did a clean install of NRD90U factory image with wipe, no backups. Rooted with SuperSU 2.78 (CF's version). This release definitely doing better than the initial OTA release or DP5 on battery (but I didn't clean install or factory reset for either). Haven't run into any problems.
[Nexus 6P General] ahse0w:
Found another weird bug. Got 2 alarms and 2 DND icons in status bar. I have setup weekends and weeknights DND rules, not sure if the crossover did that.

Turning off my alarm only removed 1 of the alarm icon. The other still remained with no alarms set.

:eek:

I do have it enabled yes. I tried turning off the DND icon in the status bar and one still remained. A reboot cleared it anyway.
[Nexus 6P General] arjun2312:
Hey I am on pure nexus last Mm edition. Can I flash the factory image for nougat directly on to it or should I first go back to stock MM. Are root and TWRP working for nougat latest release.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Twrp is buggy. It works although the backup option doesn't seem safe yet. People have had problems going back from nougat to marshmallow with backups although I haven't heard of problems upgrading from marshmallow nougat. Root is fine. I used chainfire's latest and all is good.
[Nexus 6P General] C5Longhorn:
Has anyone been able to get AdAway working?
[Nexus 6P General] schnob:
Yeah, I just flashed the systemless hosts file zip in the AdAway OP (after flashing SuperSU of course) and everything seems to be working.
[Nexus 6P General] jrg67:
So I did a complete clean flash with wiping EVERYTHING and manually ran every command following the instructions to the T so I didn't miss anything. Manually rooted and flashed twrp after booting for the first time and restoring from Google. Battery life has been garbage with Android OS and Android system taking up the same amount of power as the screen. Idle drain last night was about 5% for 8 hours which isn't bad but SOT has been less than 3 hours. I don't get it. This is so frustrating and I was hoping this was fixed once the factory images went up.

Edit: as a reference, I was getting over 4.5 to 5 hours SOT with MM with same usage and apps.
[Nexus 6P General] madeSICC:
I have noticed that when I unlock with the fingerprint scanner it flashes the lock screen when waking up and then goes into the home screen. I hadnt noticed that with MM and was wondering if anybody else sees that or if it's always done that and I just haven't noticed.
[Nexus 6P General] nardow:
I do NOT recommend flashing the NRD90U build. It's not as smooth as stock MM.

There's definitely some problem with System on top of battery usage and phone doesn't sleep properly.
[Nexus 6P General] supermoocow5:
I noticed the same, and I don't think it's just unlocking. When you open chrome, it initially flashes the image used for recent tabs, then actually renders chrome and the current page (which may be completely different than the recent tabs image).
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
Went from Pure Nexus to clean install NRD90U build. I don't notice any difference performance or battery wise so I will consider myself lucky.
[Nexus 6P General] madeSICC:
Mine has cleared itself up in the last little bit. No longer does it on the lock screen or through chrome either.

Battery life seems the same as well. No complaints about the new update from me for now.
[Nexus 6P General] Salim Zhulkhrni:
Just a couple of questions from my end:

- I noticed that new build 'NRD90U' is being posted on google's web- site.

- I am curently on NRD90M with August security patch level. This updated I had obtained from enrolling in beta program, (I later un-enrolled it after installing the update)

- The bootloader is locked. So I am basically on stock NRD90M.

- I am planning to install the full OTA file for NRD90U by sideloading.

a) I usually apply(sideload) the incremental OTA updates through Wugfresh Nexus root tool kit. So can the full OTA update be applied(sideloaded) through the same tool ? (Assuming it is safe to )

b) Any precautions to be taken while sideloading the full OTA file (besides taking a back up)

c) Since I am on NRD90M ,

i) Do I need to be on specific build number when applying full OTA images ? ( My understanding is that this applies only to incremental OTA files)

ii) When applying the full NRD90U file , will the exsiting data on NRD90M be wiped off ?

c) Is it recommended to apply the NRD90U update as I could see some problems ( slow fingerprints scanning) from the above posts ?

d) Does the latest update solve the Battery drain problems found on NRD90M ?

Any response will be greatly apprciated ! :)

Thanks in advance .!
[Nexus 6P General] DorianX:
Not everyone have this issues don't know why... My phone is very smooth and don't have massive battery drain, gets 5+ hours SOT on the first day (yesterday) let's see how goes today. Also some people are getting lag on fingerprint scanner, mine is working fast as MM

By the way I used the Flash-all .bat coming from stock/unmodified MM.

My process:

- I was in Pure Nexus

- Backed up all my internal SD on my PC

- Used the flash-all .bat to flash MTC20L

- Flashed NRD90U using the flash-all .bat

- Restored my internal SD

- Flashed TWRP and SuperSU

- Restored all my apps with Titanium Backup (just the apps not the data)

Everything is running smooth, no battery drain, no fingerprint scanner lag, I even using substratum without issues

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm using ElementalX kernel

You cannot say that based solely on your own experience. I'm running NRD90U and I very much enjoy the update. Mind you that I did a factory reset when I flashed the first official Nougat build.

[Nexus 6P General] nardow:
Isn't it the main purpose of this thread?

I also did a clean install, as always. Of course the new features are enjoyable, although saying Nougat is, for now, as good as Marshmallow, is not true at all.

Would you share your battery usage with us, please?

That's your experience. Which is not enough to claim that mm is better than nougat and advising against installing it

Any responses please ? As a beginner , the idea of installing this update depends solely on your responses :)
[Nexus 6P General] asylumxl:
When I sideloaded the OTA using ADB It didn't seem too fussed about the current version that was on the phone. I think it even said something along those lines during the process. I'd imagine it'd be ok given it's a full OTA. Having said that I'm no expert on the subject.

I haven't had any serious battery drain and seem to get about 4-5 hours SOT, which to me is alright. Fingerprint scanner and everything else is working fine.
[Nexus 6P General] mbutandola:
And I don't have those. The fact that some have issues is not enough to draw such conclusions. Simple logic. If you want to find it funny, that's your concern

Envoyé de mon Nexus 6P en utilisant Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] nardow:
Simple logic: if the system isn't performing as it should with the majority, then there's a problem.

You stating "I don't have problems" doesn't change that.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

System being the 2nd most battery consuming activity on Android isn't normal at all. You probably don't have the habit to check battery consumption info. Because if you had, you would know that from previous Android versions.
[Nexus 6P General] mbutandola:
Who told you I haven't? And what issues are talking about? Some people bricked their phones because of a twrp bug apart from that nothing suggests me that mm is better than nougat. And I don't claim that nougat is better either and won't tell people to flash it. Only that as far as I am concerned, my phone on nougat is buttery smooth and haven't had any issues. I sideloaded the first ota then fastbooted the factory image without hiccups. Just had a warning message which was quickly fixed. I didn't even have the fingerprint scanner lag that some have reported

[Nexus 6P General] nardow:
Amigo, I said nothing about fingerprint lag, or bricked devices. I am just saying that there IS a problem related to the battery consumption with the latest Nougat builds. That's it. I'm not calling you a liar or anything.

It is when ART is building newly installed apps and I'm well versed in all versions of Android since eclair. Your claim was that battery life is poor. I'm getting 5+ hours of SOT which is as good as I've ever had.
[Nexus 6P General] nardow:
Building ART cache for 5+ days? Hmm... I don't think so.
[Nexus 6P General] mtnlion:
You seem a bit dense. Newly installed apps.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Could be some apps which are not built on N causing the battery drain
[Nexus 6P General] nardow:
True, but would that justify the system drain?
[Nexus 6P General] C5Longhorn:
I did a clean install also and got everything set up. I do have the slight lock screen image when I turn the phone on with the thumb sensor. i also think my battery life is slightly worse. So far the issues aren't huge deal breakers but agree with others that MM is probably more stable.

Has anyone seen an incremental ota to get from NRD90M to NRD90U?

I'm currently on holiday and so don't have a decent enough connection to download +1 GB of full ota
[Nexus 6P General] Giozer:
It is possible update from rooted MM (MTC20F) to Nougat (NRD90U) with Flashfire, without losing root and data?

What steps should I do? What options should I choose? I have to do some Wipe? Any suggestion is very helpful.

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P General] TheIgster:
I'm kind of wondering this as well. I'm still on NRD90M. Removed myself from the beta for a day or so...still no OTA. Added myself back on the beta and still no OTA. Wonder when they are going to get this out to unrooted, stock users?

After 2-3 battery cycles NRD90U has actually become a lot smoother and buttery. Battery life has also improved for me. The micro lags that I used to encounter here and there on previous beta builds and dev preview are gone too. Call quality has also improved a little.

I clean flashed factory image from the dev preview build.

I'm currently fully stock, no root, no custom kernel, no custom recovery and bootloader unlocked.
[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
It's a very bad idea to go between completely different Android versions with effectively a dirty flash. I would strongly recommend a clean flash and then reflashing TWRP and root since that really just takes an extra 5 minutes. I would wipe data but keep internal storage and use fastboot cmds with the factory image. Up to you of course.

[Nexus 6P General] Giozer:
Hello.

I thank you for your opinion.

So as I proceed tips? After making a prudent backup, I must first install the TWRP 3.0.2-2 (which seems to go better with Android N)? I must save all my data (sdcard) on PC. I have to do some kind of wipe (system, cache, date ...)? So from recovery install Android N and finally do it again root?

Thank you for your advice.
[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
Just read Heisenberg's guide (top sticky post in the Help/Q&A forum, for flashing a new stock OS. Use section 14 for Nougat, which is basically the same as returning to stock. When you are prepping in TWRP, you can wipe but keep your internal sdcard. If you factory reset from within Android you will wipe your storage too.

NRD90U is the current build. It has the current security updates (September) and there are both Factory Images and Full OTA Images posted on Google's site. I had to flash the Factory Images, as I was on MTC20L. My only issue is with Bluetooth Audio. If I use wired headphones, no issue, but with bluetooth headset, I get high battery drain and the phone gets warm.

I just wanted to post a update. i originally posted in "NRD90U observations" about how ES file explorer dosnt give me root access. I'm on Nougat now and its still the same thing. I still use ES but if I need root then I use Solid Explorer. Like I said in the original thread, I tried everything I could find online to get root when I was on marshmallow (and now Nougat) and nothing works. Its obviously not a priority, but if anyone knows how to fix it that would be nice.

This only gets the battery percentage on top of the battery icon. Sure wish Google would add the ability to add the percentage next to the icon so you can actually read it. Not sure why they have never allowed this to be done like Samsung and others.

I'm also still waiting for the OTA update. Would be nice to get the September security updates. C'mon Google...what's the hold up?
