Hi All,

I had a quick look and it looks like mostly 'Google' Phones are most popular phones among developers.

for example, I couldn't find CM14.1 or any other 7.1 Builds for any ROM for Galaxy S7 or HTC 10 or Huawei Mate 9 etc

On that bases, as i love to play around with my phone, should my next phone be from 'Google' ?

Cheers

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] panchoarcia:
Recently I've rooted my phone, one week later I was experiencing battery problems, drop 30% to 3%, unexpected shutdowns, camera and flash almost not working.

The flash doesn't work, only turns on one led and the. Shuts down, sometimes both but then shutdown instantly, he camera (when bat is lower than 30%) looks like a CRT TV

I've flashed the stock rom xt1644, and still having the same problems.

Any suggestion?

Edit* it wasn't hardware problems, battery was uncalibrated, I followed these steps

https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-calibrate-the-battery-on-your-android-device

Edit* wasn't battery uncalibrated, was battery pin problem (contact problem maybe), I've removed the back housing, and disconnected the battery, now everything is working fine
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
Sounds like a problem with the board. Any moisture?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] panchoarcia:
Currently I have a cover and a tempered glass, there's no moisture even on the backside :(
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
Ok, but only rooting the phone won't cause such behavior. I know iPhones, Nokia, Blackberry etc. with similar problems and after opening that, the moisture indicators were red or metal/parts was corroded,that's why I'm asking. Even dropping a phone can bring problems weeks later (iPhone 4 sound chip, wasn't soldered good). And as it seems you're the only one around here with this problem, I guess it's a hardware failure. (sorry for the story ;))

For understanding: you only root the phone to, nothing else(flashing something)
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] panchoarcia:
I haven't dropped my phone, I'm very careful, I know root can't damage hardware but, it's funny cause since I've rooted, problems came :(
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
Was your phone new and the package sealed?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] daverobinson88:
Is it only when the battery runs low? Mine did the thing with dropping from like %80 down to 30 then shut down and would turn back on at be like 44. If I used camera it shut the off off and sometimes calls too. I was told to try calibrations and resets and didn't help. Turns out I had to get the battery replaced by moto.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Keasbeychay:
I experienced the exact same issue

Had this same exact problem with this same exact model of the G4 plus on the stock rom (unrooted). I sent it in for a warranty repair and it came back to me with the same issue. I ended up doing a warranty exchange where you put down a deposit and they send you a new phone and release the deposit back to you when they receive the defective device back. I don't think you would be able to swap the device if you unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device since that voids the warranty but I can confirm that this is most definitely a defective hardware issue you are experiencing.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] panchoarcia:
I bough it used from ebay, came flawless with no problems.

Everything happened after rooting my phone, plus I'm not from NA, I live in central America, Nicaragua.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
Ok... So this problem can also be present before you do flashing. Imagine the guy did what I think(dropped it, moisture, bad hardware cause lenovo manufacture it on a Monday), he recognized it, then sell it maybe with bootloader locking and you're happy who bought it now. That's possible!
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] panchoarcia:
Hopefully (Maybe) next Android update fixes the problem, if not, this is the last moto g fam I will own
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] zeomal:
I'm just curious, did you root using SuperSU? If so, which version did you use? I ask you this because you keep saying that all these issues propped up AFTER you rooted your device.

Battery charge jumps can be caused because of battery calibration issues, which you can recalibrate using a plethora of apps available (by using root access), or the old fashioned way.

I didn't respond till now because of your camera issues — CRT stumped me.

Hello, I download the new updated GAPPS always from the following URL because I have no problems with the downloads (I just downloaded the STOCK versions, they are all for 64 BITS CPUs like our Z010D:

Https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/releases

They are for all versions of ANDROID, from 5.0 to 7.1

You have to choose the finished files in .zip and to install them just like MOD ROMS.

This...so much VZW hate on XDA, it's palpable

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

To be fair wifi calling was never going to work on VZW for the 6P because they never officially supported the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
That's because if you opt out it will put you back on the latest GA release, which is not a beta. Downgrade requires wipe. I believe this was all disclosed when you opt in, at least i remember reading it.

Edit: just stay on the beta and wait for ota. You can opt out safely once you are on a GA build.

Opted out of beta and it's rolled back to 7.0,I'll just wait now for 7.1.1 to hit
[Nexus 6P General] maximusmullivan:
I really don't know if the OTA has been posted at all but if you can find it, you can sideload it instead of waiting

[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Anyone else frustrated and confused as to why Google no longer allows Nexus users, or any other users to download google keyboard or google camera? I guess only Pixel users can have them from what I've read. I don't like this slippery slope Google is going down, by not supporting their premium phone from just a year ago, to removing apps they develop.

Anyone know why they are doing this? It's a pain to keep downloading the apks from appmirror. Even OpenGapps only includes older versions of the apps.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

And now I just found out that there is a new google app, "Gboard" that is on the market for phones with 7.1.1, but imagine that, it's not in the playstore for me in the US.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Side loaded all of them and all working fine gboard is excellent
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
What's gboard

---------- Post added at 20:37 ---------- Previous post was at 20:35 ----------

Oh I see. Yeah nice
[Nexus 6P General] maximusmullivan:
The Google keyboard is on the play store, they just haven't updated the play store yet with the newest version and the name change. Apkmirror.com has the Gboard apk. Your frustration seems to be misdirected, we can install both the camera and keyboard from Google. If I'm not mistaken the only requirement for the camera is to be running 7.X or higher
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I'll fully admit, I'm frustrated with them. But when I was on stock, the camera was not in the play store. It has not been in the play store for me for a long time, I'm on a custom ROM now, but it's still not there. If you do a search, there are hundreds of forums of people saying it's not there for them. If you check some of the forums here, (I've posted about it, and so have others), some users can see it, and some can't. Location would seem logical, but we were all in the US. So I don't know what they are doing or why. It's just a minor annoyance to me, not a big deal. It's more of the overall changes they are making that worry me. I don't like where they are headed, and I know I'm not the only one.

Has anyone tried the new keyboard coincidentally? Do the new features work and seem useful?

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

But do you feel you should "have to sideload" them? Or do you think you should be able to get them from the store? My personal belief is we should be able to get them on the playstore.

Anyone having bluetooth issues? It seems to be turning on by itself. I have disabled it repeatedly to find it on again. I cannot locate any app that is causing the problem. I manually flashed upgrade from marshmallow straight to 7.1.1 i have no new apps. any ideas how to determine what is happening?

So a quick question,I was on the beta program u til yesterday when I unenrolled,so now back to 7.0.will this mean my devices goes to the back of the question for 7.1,or would it have gone from beta 7.1 to official 7.1 if I had stayed in the beta program
[Nexus 6P General] pgptheoriginal:
I'm hating the auto brightness in 7.1.1. it keeps jumping randomly from total dim to normal values, even in steady light conditions, thus forcing me to continuously adjust the slider. Has anyone experienced this? It's really annoying!
[Nexus 6P General] rsage:
I've had this issue with auto brightness since I got my 6P (including on MM), which is why I never use auto brightness any more. Sounds like it's even worse with 7.11?
[Nexus 6P General] pgptheoriginal:
I have always used a precise brightness setting so far (just above 1/3), but ever since I updated, I'm now adjusting it all the time! I could not live without auto brightness...

I was thinking that it's only me who did not get an update. But turned out there are lots of us. I hope that Google will at least post zip file for sideload.

(post edit)

Did the install with TWRP, then redid the SuperSU install, then a reboot. All that effort, and all I got was the November patch of 7.0. Time to DL the image form google. Sigh.

So for all of you with a 619.5 MB download, it is not the 7.1.1 update.
