USB Drivers

Hi, try these methods:

Firstly restart your PC and ensure no other applications are running, especially any old phone manager software.

Then plug your USB cable directly into your computers USB Port (

not

into any external hub)

Try using the drivers attached to this post (one at a time). You will need to unzip them.

The method of installation is detailed from Point 6 at: From Point 6 at http://visualgdb.com/KB/usbdebug-manual/

Or install Motorola's phone tool: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

Good luck

"You can achieve this status"...

Yes, that worked for me... :)
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
I've been around since I had my Samsung Moment. It's just something that I've never done. I probably could do it with Nexus Tool Kit.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Just kidding... :)
[Nexus 6  General] mipd1980:
I've rooted all of my phones even my Nexus 6 plenty of times. I'm just lazy right now so I'm also waiting for my OTA.....:cyclops:
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
I'm trying to be nice but people like you are trying my patience. You have NO clue what my life is right now, so you might want to stop with the jokes and attitude.
[Nexus 6  General] mipd1980:
All I said is that I have not gotten the OTA and I'm also waiting.... Relax :cyclops:
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Sorry, just a little stressed out. Some people can be a jerk if you don't root.
[Nexus 6  General] mipd1980:
Yeah I gotcha, Like i said I've rooted all of my phones but i've been to busy with work, school and family that i've been running stock android (no root) for the past year. I guess I just have to wait for the OTA, at least we're getting 7.0 on our phones. have a good day sir. :cyclops:
[Nexus 6  General] roebling:
You can jump to the head of the line by doing a complete wipe of your phone,

"Settings" > "Backup & reset" > "Factory reset"

Warning: That will wipe everything off the phone--your apps, your contacts, your photos, etc. But, when you restart the phone and sign in, it will call for all updates to be installed.

Otherwise, you'll have to wait for your turn.
[Nexus 6  General] backtoback2016:
the whole world recieve the OTA update of nougat but my phone still recieve the security update of 6.0.1
[Nexus 6  General] Carmanen:
You are definitely not alone still without Nougat... still waiting here also. I thought Nexus update rollouts would be faster than others like Sony, LG, HTC etc. *sigh*
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
For those who are getting frustrated as our foul-mouthed colleague :) , the OTA manual install is unbelievably simple.
[Nexus 6  General] backtoback2016:

okey i'm waiting .. today i recieved security update (MOB31H)

it's the last update before the nougat
[MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION]

yeah i know :rolleyes:

then is Better care of yourself okey!!
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
I've had that already. I'm probably going to find time to sit down and root if Pure Nexus Nougat comes out first.
[Nexus 6  General] bbyrne3:
AT&T Nexus 6 here...can I flash the OTA image or do I have to wait until AT&T pushes its' own OTA update? I was under the impression that AT&T Nexus 6 builds were never unified with the other carriers.
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
My thoughts exactly!

A couple of days ago I saw that I had a System Update...downloaded it thinking that it was Android N and it turned out to be nothing more than the security update!
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
There's really no need for this stressing. The OTA sideload takes 15 minutes,
[Nexus 6  General] iluvatrix:
I was on mob31e. The day N dropped I went into Android Beta page enrolled in the Beta program & the next moment got the notification for system update.

Try it.

You can even visit the Beta page on your phone's chrome browser so don't even need to be near a computer.
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
They are currently unified, flash away.
[Nexus 6  General] backtoback2016:
What I am sure of it that the all nexus 6 devices will got the N0ugat update before the end of october

so we have to wait more days it's not problem if we not got it

we can flash our phones manually :)
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
For those growing impatient waiting for the OTA, this is Google's site to download and install the OTA manually. It will work on locked phones so you don't have to have an unlocked bootloader like you do for a factory image.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota

Basic steps are to download the OTA zip file, make sure ADB is installed and in the path, reboot the phone into recovery, and apply update from adb. A simple "adb sideload xxx.zip" where xxx is the OTA zip file you downloaded, and you're off and running.
[Nexus 6  General] bbyrne3:
Just tried sideloading OTA and I'm getting a strange error during the "serving" process. Installation hangs at 15% and I get a "*failed to read command: No error" message in the command line. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
I'd try a different USB cable and/or port. Sounds like the connection is breaking while transferring the OTA to the phone during sideload.
[Nexus 6  General] fueled:
Hahahaha same position here dude.

Last night before I was going to gym, I normally don't take my phone there, just check the notifications before leaving the home, saw a notification saying system update, OMG I was like happy and did whole gym routine like a hulk , came back home only to find out that it's only 11 mb security update [emoji15]
[Nexus 6  General] MrPib:
Is there any reason you guys are ignoring this post? It's 100% correct. I enrolled in the beta program after N was released, and instantly got a popup offering to download and install N.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
I will say this only once. The swearing stops. Just because it i stared out doesnt mean it is allowed. You will still be infracted and banned for it. So save that type of childish talk for the school yard.
[Nexus 6  General] alexcolka:
Hello dear friends, new to this forum, I just enrolled in the beta program right now and the second after did receive the nougat update notification, is this the latest 7.0 build or is just a beta?

Many thanks,

Alex
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
I suspect that it's the full N OTA - I don't see any reason to think that Google would still be pushing out a beta seven weeks after the final version was issued.
[Nexus 6  General] alexcolka:
Many thanks for your reply dahawthorne.
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
Hit settings, then about phone. What's the build number?
[Nexus 6  General] pjsnyc:
I just did the same thing. Enrolled in beta and downloaded and installed nougat.

The build number is NBD90Z
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
So that is the relase version. Awesome.
[Nexus 6  General] pjsnyc:
Yeah I wasn't sure why the download update screen on my phone still mentioned beta but I installed it anyway. All seems well so far. Will let you all know if I run into issues.
[Nexus 6  General] alexcolka:
NBD90Z

Yep, I guess I'm on the latest 7.0 build. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] fueled:
Can someone please confirm its the full N OTA which pops up after enrolling in the beta program ? I mean iam just making sure it's not the preview one.

Headset volume

Does anyone know what happened to the mixer_paths .xml file? I am needing to boost my headset volume since the default is so low that you can barely here the music.

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2016/10/android-71-developer-preview.html

Nifty. So the NX6 will see 7.1, but, not as part of the developer preview. Not a bad deal, really.
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
"Initially, we’ll offer the Developer Preview for Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, and Pixel C devices, extending to other supported devices by the end of the preview. "

So it doesn't say the N6 won't get the preview, only it may come later.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Further clairification:

"according to Google, though the final release will include all devices, such as the Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus Player and select Android One devices, that were included in the wider Nougat rollout."

[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
Was a misunderstanding, deleted.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Absolutely does not contradict you, at all. Just adds a little more information.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

And I just went back and read what I initially wrote. I can understand how you came to that conclusion. Reworded my response appropriately.
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
True enough I suppose. The fact that it's coming at all is good to see. I've moved to a 6P and will be getting a Pixel XL at launch but I like to see these updates keep coming. I know, they're SUPPOSED to keep coming because they're a minor release, but, it's still nice to see it become official.
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
Oh, okay. I deleted my post.

Yeah, "actually" can mean both, "as oppose to" and "in addition to". It's easier to distinguish when spoken.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Yes, as evidenced by the posts in the past few hours, and as I expected, it would make no sense for Google to supply anything other than the final N. There is no preview any more.
[Nexus 6  General] Note10.1Dude:
Funny, they say OTA... but the OTA I just got was the October security patch, still on 6.0.1. Work frowns on enrolling our devices in beta programs...
[Nexus 6  General] fueled:
Is this ok ? They say beta but it's full one yeah ?
[Nexus 6  General] fueled:

That google search bar is still there ? I thought they changed it
[Nexus 6  General] cameraddict:
No, I think that is only when the Assistant is activated. For now just on the Pixels, or through editing your build Prop on the N6 and 6P
[Nexus 6  General] Carmanen:
Just moments ago i got october security update 6.0.1... ...my god, Google is getting slow ._. Has anyone got Nougat update yet who were NOT in beta program? I doubt it.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

Just connected my N6 to beta program and immediately got Nougat notification... ...now downloading it :) Why didn't i do it earlier as it was so easy :D So this build version NBD90Z is the latest full Nougat, right?

With a prerooted stock rom and latest radio and bootloader in ZIP-format updating is made easy.

Everything can be downloaded and flashed with TWRP-recovery.
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
Yes, NBD90Z is the latest full Nougat. Also, downloading the OTA image from here would have been almost as easy as joining the Developer Preview program but you would have had the update much quicker. The instructions to flash the OTA are at the top of that page.
[Nexus 6  General] Highway 55:
That or just download and flash the factory image and have a fresh install. Never understood why people unlock and root only to wait for OTA updates, unless it is pure laziness, which I completely understand [emoji41]
[Nexus 6  General] cv4n3:
Had success flashing with fastboot and i'm glad I did.

My nexus 6 was suffering from that speaker playback volume bug, where the volume of any video, audio or game would drop down to 30-50% anytime you tried going above 70%'ish.

This is no longer occuring for me with the freshly nougat flash.

I did get some issues flashing the whole thing on windows 10 pro 64bit 'anniversary' update.

It wasn't extracting system.img correctly and would stop right there.

Just incase anyone is encountering the same issue, you have to manually do the flashing yourself doing these commands one by one in the order the list is;

Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader*.img

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot flash radio radio*.img

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash cache cache.img

Fastboot reboot

* = Either change the name of the bootloader within the downloaded file to bootloader.img and remove the * OR replace bootloader*.img with original file name.

good luck on the flashing!
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
Agreed, I always download and flash the image using Fastboot too, but the question was about waiting for the OTA to come to his phone. I assume the person asking the question is more familiar with updating via OTA and I just pointed out where he could find the OTA instead of waiting for it to come to his phone.
[Nexus 6  General] itheodo:
I flashed the image, hoping that the clean install would fix the battery drain I had before (with marshmallow). Unfortunately, still not happy.

Also, the split screen feature is worse than expected. Only few apps are fully compatible

He's just excited because his ota finally came through
[Nexus 6  General] terry_mccann:
Got no problems as well. And one big bug has been fixed: When taking a call on Marshmallow, I always had to wait 2 seconds before replying as before that I was not heard by the caller. This has gone completely, immediately after picking up I can start talking, just as its supposed to be.....
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Yup!

I finally got to it myself last evening!
[Nexus 6  General] alexcolka:
Me too as well last evening, what it's not clear to me is why this update seems more stable and fluid than the update I got about a week ago when I forced the update via beta program being the same nougat build number. That's the reason why I ended up downgrading to 6.0.1 stock and waiting for a normal update without beta programs or other flashes methods.
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
Has anyone managed to get a fix for random Bluetooth connection drops?
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Because it's finally officially here!

GPS/Compass issue

I am having this exact same problem. Has anyone else experienced this or are there any solutions? I have seen this on two separate N6 devices, so I'm guessing it is not hardware related.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Gees. This is a Nougat post and you are complaining that I posted I got it?
[Nexus 6  General] holeindalip:
Not complaining, just don't see the point in getting excited about something that's been out for a month and couldve side loaded it a month ago
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
And this is particularly true given the number of people complaining about the OTA bootlooping their devices. Controlled manual OTA installation is probably safer as well as avoiding a weeks-long wait.
[Nexus 6  General] holeindalip:
And if your wondering about the boot loops have a look in Franco's thread. Somebody posted in there that some mutex locks were maybe causing the boot loops.so far so good on that front
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
I finally gave up and bought a 6P.
[Nexus 6  General] usafle:
And how do you like it?
[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
My guess is that it is a compass calibration problem. I see a lot of android devices from galaxy note 3 to nexus 6 suffer from it when using the maps.

So when this happens you see the little blue arrow pointing in the wrong direction on your map, right? If that is the case just grab the phone and shake is in all three dimensions and do an 8 shape movement in the air with it. The compass tends to calibrate itself on the spot and the arrow will point in the right direction. Repeat as needed.
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
I haven't made many calls yet, but I haven't had any disconnects (yet). I am enjoying the 128GB storage and the update to Nougat 7.1.1 today as well! :p
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
Is the camera better...and if so how much? I can get one for free, but without that it might not be worth the effort.
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
The camera is very good on the 6p. It's noticeable over the 6.
[Nexus 6  General] backtoback2016:
the battery on nougat is very bad it's no like 6.0 it drain much battery liFe

if we campared with 6.0 it's -2H :(
[Nexus 6  General] :
No biggie, I use custom Android 7.0 Nougat ROM (crDroid), and underclocked all four CPU cores down to 800 MHz (I know it's slow, but it's still quite responsive) and I get decent SOT. (I am very careful of how I use the battery now that it's getting old.)
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Seems a bit odd to me to buy a superdevice and then make it an entry-level... Still, if it works for you...

Strangely my battery is still fine. I got a replacement in May 2015 (peeling back) so it's about 18 months old but still easily lasting more than a day.
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
I had great battery on 7.0, but I don't use Bluetooth. They say it's buggy and drains the battery, but it's fixed in 7.1. So another month now.
[Nexus 6  General] mikaole:
Earlier if 7.0 binaries work on 7.1. Sources are already out, so custom rom will be there before official again☺️
[Nexus 6  General] :
I usually test the phone at its full performance possible next to the air conditioner to see what it's capable of, as well as figuring out how hot it would run, then basing on my decision on battery power consumption (about 100 - 400 milliamps depending on activity of the Nexus 6 itself), set the CPU and GPU governors. I usually get away with 800 MHz CPU settings across four cores, thanks to out-of-order superscalar architecture (close to Cortex A15 in term of architectural similarities) - instead of trying to one-up on a single core, the lower frequency the multiple CPU cores run, the efficient it can get. Matter of sweet spot between power consumption and responsiveness of the OS itself.

With 800 MHz CPU speed and somewhat aggressive hotplugging, I easily get up to a week standby (without turning it off), with estimated 7 hours SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] radcpuman:
I still haven't been prompted to download the OTA yet for Nougat. I did get the October update for Marshmallow a while back.
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
Why a week on standby? Are you away from electricity that long( camping, fishing etc..)? With the fast charger..20 minutes( phone off) gets you about 2hrs of use. Why slow it down so much?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Battery life is much more important, as the battery is sealed and not user replaceable. As for slowing it down so much, it's my device so I make the call, and if I let it run too fast, it will overheat in a hurry (and CPU is directly below the battery, not what you want to have in an overheat situation - unless you really like swollen battery). And no, I refuse to touch turbo charger - heard about Note 7?
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
The battery *is* replaceable. It's just not a simple plug-and-play. There are YouTube videos showing that it's relatively simple.

My N6 has no special tweaks. Rooted with doitright's root and TWRP. It lasts easily an entire day and rarely drops below 50%, though I don't claim to be a power user, just the usual very frequent checking for updates, emails, TV casting, video, YouTube, etc. And this device is 18 months old.

My charging procedure may have a bit to do with it. I have a timer set to switch on my wireless charger between 22:00 and 03:00, so if I get to bed at a reasonable time it gets to 100% and the charger switches off regardless at 03:00 to prevent the continued charging. I have read that smart batteries these days can't overcharge, but nevertheless what I'm doing seems to work. Changing kernel frequency to eke out another few minutes seems to me to be unnecessarily anally retentive, and I'm pretty anally retentive myself... :)
[Nexus 6  General] :
If it is replaceable, how would you find the genuine OEM battery, and how would you know if it is a real deal? With Nexus 6 no longer being available, it have turned into the catch-22. I actually got frustrated with lack of the parts when the certain devices no longer on store shelves. I lucked out on the RAZR M phone battery replacement. Even if I can find new one, the certain resellers have artificially jacked up the price.
[Nexus 6  General] mchlbenner:
It took me 20 seconds to find it on eBay.
[Nexus 6  General] :
eBay is occasionally questionable as there occasionally are some case of bait and switch. I'd rather not rely on that site.
[Nexus 6  General] mchlbenner:
Just get a new phone non nexus 6 you want to complain you don't want a solution.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I will still get Nexus. Why? I don't care - I got sick of locked bootloader. So, in other word, if you want to keep bullying me, go ahead and have a stab.
[Nexus 6  General] mchlbenner:
Tried to help you and I'm bullying so your on your own.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
I'm just trying to help too. I just looked on Amazon UK and see a few batteries for Â£20, so about $25. I reckon that it's worth that to have a new phone rather than a piece of glass and plastic, no? When my battery eventually fails, I hope before the N6 itself, that's what I'll do. And it's probably a better course of action than to worry too much about every last milli-amp. I bought a top-end device and I don't get people risking damaging it by underclocking and changes of resolution.

P.S. I agree about eBay. Far too many risky electronics there.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
To all you "bullies": Melania Trump is gonna get you! :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] :
Ok, I guess I will give you a chance. However, I did say why I don't trust eBay, mainly because you will never know at the other end.

Amazon do have a few of them. Guess I gotta gamble soon at some point because I have Nexus 6 for 1 1/2 years now and the reason why I slow Nexus 6 down a bit is because almost all Lithium-ion batteries have 250 - 400 cycles before it goes bad (less runtime than originally noted is the first thing you will notice before it fail outright - swollen battery due to old age), so I have to stretch standby time between the need to recharge a bit so I would still have phone and have a chance to install new battery in time (learned my lesson the hard way with RAZR M - had to be without a phone for a month until I finally got a new battery installed).
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
"Ok, I guess I will give you a chance."

Do you mean me...? All I and mchlbenner have given you is suggestions and possible alternative views, and yet instead of thanks we get "bullying" and "a chance"...?

Back on topic, I could never understand why some here handicap a premium device for an extra 30 of SOT. Different strokes I guess.
