I removed battery optimization on YouTube, google play music, and MX player. Everything else that wasn't widgets or launcher was optimized. I then flashed disable-throttle and Flash kernel. I've read flash kernel disables BCL which is what causes the sound t drop. No issues for me for months now. I tried this on my wife's phone and it works. My nephew has the same phone, nexus 6. But I haven't heard if it works for him yet as he is away at college
[Nexus 6  General] Yasharkhan:
To be honest, I don't really care about 7.1.1 from Google, I've been running CM 14.1 with Elemental Ex Kernel for the last 1.5 months and I'm really happy with it, literally no bugs and phone runs really good with a sot of 3-3.5 hrs, so I am not bothering with stock 7.1.1, I just hope that Lineage OS can build on CM and keep continue releasing android versions that are yet to come, if lineage OS get up and running we can expect Android O,P, Q, R, and S for our beautiful Shamu
[Nexus 6  General] eliteness47:
This. But im running Purenexus rom with elemental ex kernel and getting 4+ hrs of SOT. Phone is buttery smooth
[Nexus 6  General] Ygor Cortes:
I'll try the optimisation thing, thank you. I use B14CKB1RD kernel (no BCL) with disable-throttle and the sound still drops. Let's see what happens if I turn the optimisation off on Deezer.
[Nexus 6  General] Yasharkhan:
What's your governor and clock speed? Any changes to gpu and gpu governor? I can't get more than 3-3.5 hrs,
[Nexus 6  General] youssefkr:
I'm having the same setup as [MENTION=7863401]eliteness47[/MENTION] and I can confirm what he said.

I'm having 4h30 to 5h of sot on a daily basis ( 15 hours on battery )

The only thing I tweaked in the kernel was changing the CPU governor from ElementalX to interactive.

I hope this helps
[Nexus 6  General] Doctor Dedroid:
So I didn't see anywhere if this was discussed here.... I could easily have missed it. I've had an Nexus 6 for a year and a half.... when android 6 came out I got it right away in an OTA update... So 7.0 for the N6 came out in October but it certainly has NOT landed on my phone in an OTA. I have an unlocked N6 I got from best buy however I am on Verizon. Is there any reason why 7.0 never hit my phone in an OTA? Sure I can side load the OTA but I'm not that ambitious... although perhaps that would take care of the random reboots I've been getting since about 6 months ago (1st year of operation never had that happen)
[Nexus 6  General] eliteness47:
Stock and stock, only thing I did is keep my brightness at 25% and i mostly browse, youtube, netflix and social media
[Nexus 6  General] sdg1980:
I am not sure if my two cents will be worth it. I tried using custom ROMs with my handset and for some reason, extracted less juice than the stock. I have reverted to stock, avoided messing with the developer options anymore, and I am getting close to 24 hrs of batter life. Here is what I usually do on a daily basis

a) Hangouts video chat of about 15-20 mts a day

b) constant reading up on SmartNews and/or Google news through the day

c) Youtube videos of about an hour daily

d)gsmarena, phonedog, Amazon, cricinfo, Google Now periodically as time permits

e) LOT of time on Slickdeals

I am not sure how some of us are getting less than 6 hrs on it. Was I lucky?
[Nexus 6  General] eliteness47:
I think they're implying to SOT, not the overall battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] gabe.ulrickson:
So do we know if there are any root method available on Android 7.0, looking into getting a refurbished nexus 6 for $189 but want to root to get into hacking and also wondering if the nexus 6 running Android 7 works on cricket with hot-spot on the unlimited plan.

Thought about picking up the stylo 3 or the blade x Max but the stylo 3 doesn't have enough space to suffice for the price and even If I picked it up the hot-spot wouldn't work as the current hot-spot app method only works with ZTE phones. The ZTE blade x Max has too many video issues etc to seem appealing to me to have 32gb of space.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Are you serious...?
[Nexus 6  General] gabe.ulrickson:
What?
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
What what?

Sent from my rooted Nougat Pure Nexus Nexus 10 with my fingers because my rooted Nougat Pure Nexus Nexus 6 is charging.

Just how much reading and research did you do before posting?
[Nexus 6  General] gabe.ulrickson:
All i asked was if someone was using hot-spot with cricket on the nexus 6

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

And also if there were any root methods for nexus 6, I hear nexus devices are easy to root especially factory unlocked
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Yes.
[Nexus 6  General] gabe.ulrickson:
Yeah, nexus devices seem to be easiest to root
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
So why exactly are you asking if it's possible? A simple Google search gives 1.4 million results, starting with XDA. Why are you asking questions that Google can answer?

Spoonfeeding is for infants. Man up.
[Nexus 6  General] gabe.ulrickson:
I searched up nexus 6 root, most of what I found was people complaining
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
I suggest that you give up your dreams of root if you can't understand the simplest instructions. End of my engagement.
[Nexus 6  General] cell2011:
Stable release is just like dp5 but we got it. Let the Roms begin huh. Then 7.1
[Nexus 6  General] yudumcan:
it's only 8MB?
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
Woohoo, I just got the OTA notification! Downloading now. I wonder how different from the beta it will be.
[Nexus 6  General] pharpe:
Don't get too excited. It's basically the exact same thing.
[Nexus 6  General] hormosapiens:
I just adb from nexus images the whole thing. I have problems restoring all apps. it does not restore all apps automatically so I am going one by one. some framework is messed up. not a smooth upgrade. Indian keybord have orthographic error. looks like a hurry up delivery img.
[Nexus 6  General] Ygor Cortes:
What? Face unlock stopped working on the final build even though it was working perfectly on the beta build???? Please tell me this is not it.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
And the wait for a rom begins. I'm very happy with PN right now, won't update till there's a new PN.
[Nexus 6  General] moosc:
Got the update will I lose root?
[Nexus 6  General] Gromlakh:
If you have TWRP, the OTA will not install. You have to have stock recovery for that to work. Use fastboot to flash to appropriate parts of the system image and/or wait for someone to post a TWRP flashable ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] CBMC:
Yes.
[Nexus 6  General] Xaiux:
I can just follow this guide: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-upgrade-your-nexus#ota

I won't lose anything by doing that, right?
[Nexus 6  General] kenbrownstone:
I got it hope it fixes my USB problem
[Nexus 6  General] Joe92T:
So If i want to keep root, Not lose my Data & TWRP

I would boot into TWRP and Flash:

Bootloader

Radio

System

Unencrypted Boot Img

SuperSu 2.76

Correct?
[Nexus 6  General] kenbrownstone:
I need this update nothing I do will make a computer recognize my n6..Windows vista-10 won't see it..No drivers help.What sucks is if I hook my broken n6(cracked screen) up they all recognize it no problem..
[Nexus 6  General] danxdarkte:
where is the Unencrypted Boot Img?
[Nexus 6  General] snowrelyt:
WOW. It's a little scary that it took this long for Google to fix it.. but at least it works now
[Nexus 6  General] Ind33d:
To make your pc recognized adb device and fastboot device, you can try install nexus root toolkit. After install follow full driver test step by step. Then you will get adb and fastboot enabled.

It works for me after everytime i format and reinstall os in my pc.
[Nexus 6  General] kenbrownstone:
I did that bro..Wugs and soft kit...doesnt fix the problem
[Nexus 6  General] thetransit123:
Hi, i wanna to flash the factory image, but i dont know how to do, any tutorial to do it without brick the phone?
[Nexus 6  General] aroy97:
If you want a fresh install, download the factory image and make sure you have drivers installed, you can use this simple tool.

Answer yes to all of it and just run the flash all script in the factory image zip

Yup! It will not touch your encryption status, or in your case, decrypted status.
[Nexus 6  General] gammaxgoblin:
Is it still a pain to get unencrypted, if I'm on encrypted Uber 7?

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

I was excited, thought you made a flashable radio zip for me lol
[Nexus 6  General] aoaleman:
Yes more than likely. You still probably have to format userdata in fastboot after flashing encryptable boot in fastboot. And that erases SD card. Backup first.
[Nexus 6  General] spevil07:
No chance, you can load image from Google and extract Modem by yourself and flash it manually or with an Tool like WugFresh.

If you have latest TWRP you can flash the image there, too.
[Nexus 6  General] gammaxgoblin:
Good point!
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
Anyone else having issues editing /system? I have root access for apps like EX Kernel Manager, Greenify, etc, but I can't write to /system. I've tried it through recovery too and the only thing I was able to do was delete some apps. Editing the build.prop was still unsuccessful :(
[Nexus 6  General] yudumcan:
why this is only 8MB and the original image is 800 MB?
[Nexus 6  General] aoaleman:
You are referring to the full factory image. This is just the boot/kernel IMG file.
[Nexus 6  General] yudumcan:
sorry to be a pain but what's the difference? and do I have to flash factory image first and this on top?

Congratulations everyone . Finally got the beloved Nougat for Shamu...

[Nexus 6  General] CBMC:
What root method are you using. I was able to get supersu 2.78 and phh superuser.zip both to work. Phh's superuser.zip I had to edit the config to noverity. If dm verification is enabled I am not sure if system files can be changed. Any change would prevent boot.
[Nexus 6  General] ghost010:
Seems like they ignored the N6 till they fixed N6p 7.0. well, its stil a none beta release.
[Nexus 6  General] Endbringer42:
I flashed the OTA update and it seems to have worked. However, WiFi doesn't work anymore. On the first boot it saw my home network, but when I tried connecting nothing happened. I tried a few times and nothing happened. I checked the router itself and it doesn't show any attempt to connect by my phone. I then rebooted and tried again. This time it flashed Authenticating...multiple times until it finally connected. I started updating a few apps and in the middle of downloading a Photos update the wifi turned off. When I try connecting again there's nothing listed for wifi at all. I tried turning on/off airplane mode to see if it'd fix it, but it doesn't.

Looks like the Nougat borked the wifi.
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
WiFi has been working fine for me since I flashed the image several hours ago. I been able to connect to two different WiFi networks for a few hours each without any issues.

Edit: I didn't do the OTA, I manually flashed the image files using fastboot (except userdata).
[Nexus 6  General] CBMC:
No problem with WiFi here. I also flashed thru fastboot.

Now I have to ask. Anyone notice any differences between the latest build and the final preview?
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
I haven't noticed any differences at all so far.
[Nexus 6  General] coolmaster121:
um, I am missing the most important feature

The boot animation is old, Its not the new one wtf Google.com?
[Nexus 6  General] osurferx:
Did you just delete userdata.img out of the zip? If I wanted to keep twrp, would I just delete the recovery.img as well?

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 6  General] rebel1699:
If you use the flash-all script, then yeah, just delete the recovery.img out of the zip. Or, you could let it all flash clean, and then fastboot flash twrp back on before rebooting. Assures a full clean flash of everything. Thats just personal preference, though.
[Nexus 6  General] Hst94:

I have unlocked bootloader n flashed official nougat image through nexus root toolkit but has stuck on the google logo for hours i have tried reflashing and resetting data n all but nothg works plz help...

No for daily use.

Yes when making a backup. Twice faster.

[Nexus 6  General] Hst94:
This the error thats showing....
[Nexus 6  General] rebel1699:
Just extract system.img and other img files from the zip and manually flash them. "Fastboot flash system system.img". It is the same format with all files in the zip.

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot flash cache cache.img

Fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

When you know it is normal to get that error, use the flash-base script first, which will do just the bootloader and radio plus reboots for you. Then, manually flash the rest of the image files with the instructions above
[Nexus 6  General] Alahdal:
Should I flash the image without Wiping Data

Because "Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit" recommends wiping if flashing a major update.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
"Should I flash the image without Wiping Data"

People recommend a full wipe before a major upgrade, such as L to M or M to N, but if you're already on an N preview then you should be ok not to wipe. I didn't when I enrolled in the Beta programme (so from 6.0.1 to N preview, supposedly a major upgrade), and all my data and functionality are intact after this latest final upgrade.
[Nexus 6  General] Outatime67:
I wiped. I was well overdue for a full wipe and I'm glad I did. It's running very smooth. Wugs rooted it with no problem and I flashed the Nexus/Pixel launcher.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
To expand on rebel1699's post, this is the script I followed when I had problems with the flash-all.bat. It worked perfectly on my two Nexus 5s and my Nexus 6 on many occasions following the monthly security posting.

Preparation.

- Take a TWRP backup and save it on your PC.

- Download factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu) and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.

- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.

- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).

- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.

- Open a CMD window, navigate to your ADB folder, and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.

1. adb reboot bootloader

2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

3. fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. fastboot flash radio radio.img

5. fastboot reboot-bootloader

6. fastboot erase system

7. fastboot flash system system.img

8. fastboot erase boot

9. fastboot flash boot boot.img

10. fastboot erase cache

11. fastboot flash cache cache.img

12. fastboot reboot-bootloader

13. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

14. From bootloader boot to TWRP and reflash superSu

This is a very good update. Thank you Google!

From the beta version to this it's a huge jump. Speed of the whole OS is very fast, good memory control for multitasking and the camera, wow, so far it's very fast!! (Started to be really annoying the slow camera app - makes it pointless miss the moments!! )

Didn't like the wait because N should of come out with the other Nexus as they had months before release day but its something else when you can feel the effort gone into making sure, it's last major OS update is a good one! I'm sure Google employees have softspot for N6....
[Nexus 6  General] Carmanen:
No OTA yet for my N6 :/ I don't have any Nougat betas installed, will i still get OTA notification for 7.0?
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
You should, yes. I don't believe it's technically simple to blitz all devices at once and the rollout is therefore staggered, so not all N6s will receive it at once. Try checking for the update from time to time (Settings/About phone/System updates/Check for update) and you may get lucky... :)

[Nexus 6  General] Dopamin3:
What do you mean? Before official release there have already been a lot of custom ROMs based on Nougat. Off the top of my head I can think of Tesla, Nutty Nexus, Unofficial CM14, Team OctOS, and on top of that you can compile your own builds of stuff like Pure Nexus, Dirty Unicorns, BlissPop, etc...

ROMs will be released when the developers feel they are ready. Some within the next few weeks, some not for months probably.
[Nexus 6  General] veesix:
Could you please share your settings? Also, how did you root? I used phh's superuser.

Well, there is a new security date of 5th October 2016, so it's worth it for that alone, but TWRP and root take only about five minutes...

[Nexus 6  General] CycloneFever:
I received OTA update last night. Install went smoothly. I am not rooted, completely stock, etc. I can confirm Android 7.0 and Build Number NBD90Z. I also have features such as new notifications, quick settings, multi-screen, etc.

One thing that I was expecting that I do not have is the new launcher. The launcher home screen does not appeared to have changed at all. I still have the app drawer button (no swipe up to open), full width Google bar at the top of the screen, same folder look. From within the app drawer, I have the search function although it looks different than I have seen in some pictures (left justified grey text where I have seen some with centered blue test IIRC).

I've check the Play Store and my Google Now launcher looked to be the latest (no updates available).

What has everyone else been experiencing?
[Nexus 6  General] idbl_fanatic:
You need to download the Pixel launcher, and install it, it isn't on the Play store
[Nexus 6  General] IceKreem:
The new launcher is a pixel exclusive as far as i'm aware. But you can flash it on your own here
