[Nexus 6  General] Â¯\_(ãƒ„)_/Â¯:
First post so be gentle. My first smartphone purchase was a s3 (which I love even still). I used iPhones for work but loved the flexibility of Android. I knew I wanted a nexus and eventually settled on a nexus 6, mainly for the bigger screen size and Qi. All that being said, I knew of custom Roms long before ever wandering into that "deep water". It wasn't until I cracked the screen on my 6 that I ever flashed a custom ROM. At that point I went ahead and started dabbling in custom Roms. I wish I had sooner. I just bought a Pixel XL (LOVE it) but still find myself tinkering with the custom Roms instead of playing with the assistant. I understand the desire to keep a loved device relevant for as long as possible. I have even started an effort to update my s3 to nougat ROMs. I check here (specifically this thread) for news about 7.1.1 everyday, being enrolled in the beta program as soon as I learned about it. If it wasn't for the fingerprint scanner and active support, I probably wouldn't have bought a XL. IMO, I've tried all the nougat ROMs, and I'm really impressed with nitrogenos and crdroid. Both are very similar to my Pixel XL but with neat tweaks only available from customs. I would really like to have the opportunity to use 7.1 with my 6 despite owning the XL. Cm 14.1 has been nice. I like showing off custom ROMs to my iPhone buddies. Stock 7.1 would keep my 6 relevant that much longer. Thanks for reading, I hope this doesn't violate the hardcore XDA members' use of this thread.
[Nexus 6  General] photolarry:
Not really important enough for this device. We were last ones to get nougat final build. I doubt they'll give us 7.1.1 until January or even February. Judy deal with it.
[Nexus 6  General] quicksilver53:
I'll be happy if we get it, and still satisfied of we don't.
[Nexus 6  General] RegnierD:
Hey, you be nice to Judy. She's a nice lady.
[Nexus 6  General] photolarry:
It's a typo... Just
[Nexus 6  General] StoneRoses:
It's time to move to custom firmware.

I just flash Nitrogen OS N 2 days ago and more than happy about it. It run a lot smoother than Google stock, I really don't care much about encrypted storage.
[Nexus 6  General] demarcmj:
I mean, we're past the 2-year guarantee so any updates after October are just out of the kindness of their hearts.

This. Either do it or don't. And if you are really truly going to do it, but it's going to take an extra two months, just say SOMETHING. Don't just roll the Nexus 6 in with your blanket "updates will be rolling out in the coming weeks" statement when you know that isn't true. If the update was ready, you would have posted the images with the rest of them.

Doesn't seem like there's anything new in there. And all it says about the timeline is "a later date," "eventually," and "we don’t have an actual release date yet."
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
The funny thing is that despite all the hype and frustration I'll bet there's not a single one of us that will notice any difference when it finally arrives on our N6... :)

[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
The next round of security updates are to happen on January 9th. Let's hope 7.1.1 makes an appearance then.

The Nexus 6 WILL get 7.1.1. We just do not know when.
[Nexus 6  General] quicksilver53:
Most likely not. I can't see it being a huge update. My N6 is already sweet on 7.0.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Sorry. Posted in the wrong spot.
[Nexus 6  General] MartinN6:
I know it! - when google sold enough PixelPhones :)
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
It improved the battery usage considerably on my 6P, so I presume it will have a similar effect on the N6.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Yes, my battery is also fine. Although I'm not a heavy user, I do tinker constantly (email, updates, news, ebooks) all day, but my battery rarely falls below 50%. I've been on N for a couple of months and I don't have hard stats, but subjectively it seems to me that my battery life has improved.
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
Agreed. It won't be a huge update. All I am curious about is the improvement in the screen latency that was implemented in 7.1.1. Wonder if it will make it seem the phone is snappier (even though I think it is already snappy).
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
I tried all the 7.1.1 roms that are out at the moment and none of them impressed me enough to keep it on my phone.

At the moment back on stock build NBD91U and used TB to remove some things i don't use. Phone runs fine, battery last me all day without a problem.
[Nexus 6  General] mirko902:
What's TB?
[Nexus 6  General] CCJ22:
Titanium Backup.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
Sorry, should have written it out full.

Its as CCJ22 already said Titanium Backup
[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
Ya know? You gotta wonder if there's a legitimate reason for the shamu delay, or if it's being done on purpose to make people want a new phone. Like, either there's a complication with the Nexus 6 and new Android, or they want to sell more Pixel devices.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Not sure if they are really worried about that as they know that the people worried about updates are about 1.4% of all android sales.

With moto being sold to a China based company it could be anything. From Copyright issues or vendors flat out refusing to redo an needed updated drivers and such.

If people want 7.1.1 that bad then they should build it. It works well enough. Minus the crap google messed up as normal.
[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
Moto was sold again? Didn't even know that! And yea, there's a good handful of 7.1 roms out there that I really enjoy using, so I'm not super worried about when Google updates it, but it's surprising, because the entire selling point of Nexus is faster updates. But not really complaining too much, just crossed my mind [emoji14]
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
That depends. It was sold to Google then sold to lenovo. Lenovo is a China based company. I head slapped when the sale happened as I knew what was gonna happen with updates. But as it is a nexus I can build myself if need be at least for a bit without too much hackery
[Nexus 6  General] Highway 55:
Yup been there done that. I'm on stock as well with pixel launcher and fully functional assistant. Should hold me over until I break down and buy a pixel in the coming months.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
If notting happens to my Nexus 6 then i will keep it at least until Oct 29 next year, my contract ends then. I then either get a new phone with the new contract or keep my Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
That is what Google is hoping for. Me? I will find another OEM. I have no real world use for assistant and need more then stock and provide.
[Nexus 6  General] Highway 55:
The only real use I have for assistant is hands free stuff in a vehicle. For example one of my older work trucks has a Bluetooth radio installed in it, but there is no voice command support, only phone audio. I now can just say OK Google make a call *****, or OK Google navigate to *****, etc. Granted the radio has to be turned down, and the phone has to be relatively close like on a mount or something, it works pretty good.

As for that being what Google wants, it doesn't really matter to me. I am one of the few who actually likes the pixel devices. Besides OEMs like OnePlus, etc, do not support my carrier sprint. I am not under contract but I do not wish to change because sprint is cheaper than any other carrier, and T-Mobile (the only other carrier I would consider) gets almost no reception in a few places I travel to in rural Minnesota.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
So Google sold Moto to Lenovo, then needs a manufacturer to make their Pixels so they went with HTC. Couldn't Google have kept Moto and just used that as their exclusive mfg for their Pixels ? Either there is something very obvious I'm missing, or Google missed something very obvious................
[Nexus 6  General] FCORivers:
It's cheaper, 99% of the times, to do subcontractor type of management than owning a company with employees and all kind of tax paying property. They just produced a rough design of what they aim for and see who can make it the closest for the cheapest at the fastest rate. They are not tied with any manufacturer because they make business with all of them. I know I love my Moto Shamu as much as that kid loved Willy. Qhd, dual speakers, big screen, a 2014 phone that still looks awesome. Mine's blue but matte black would have been like an eternal design, IMO.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Yeah I have a hands free head set that I use for it. It does require anything other then the headset. It is even voice activated call answering. I dont use navigation ever so I never bother with it. My car is older then I am by a few months. So assistant is not really something I would ever use. Heck I even remove Google search from my device.

I know the feeling. The only carrier here is att. No other nationwide options. So I stick to developer devices. Which is why I picked the nexus. Now I will ha e to find another OEM other then one plus (couldn't pay me to use one of their devices. It's an honor thing)
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Can you read and send SMS using assistant on the Nexus 6? Doesn't seem to work on my wife's Pixel. Works fine with Google Now.
[Nexus 6  General] Highway 55:
I can send texts. When I try to read then it informs me that it can't read texts yet.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Thanks. Shame (and odd) that it doesn't read them yet. Same story for Hangouts i guess.
[Nexus 6  General] photolarry:
I've used mostly stock and there is no real extra advantages to some custom ROM I've seen here. If you want a different status bar or the like, flash away. If you'd prefer just better battery life, I suggest a custom kernel like elemental or singularity and tweak the governor of the CPU. I'm fairly certain our device will get 7.1.1 in coming updates. I'm happy using magisk and his root file to get AP working.
[Nexus 6  General] iluvatrix:
After reading about all the problems 5x & 6p have with 7.1.1i am calling it a blessing in disguise our Shamu have not received the update yet. Can you imagine if we received it bugs & all & it's the last official update it'll be a real bummer
[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
That's being optimistic. I haven't even looked really, are the 5x and 6p having issues??? Had no idea! Well it's good then because our build will be more stable! [emoji14]
[Nexus 6  General] wazza1991:
You can use android auto for that. As far as I know it can read texts. Ok Google also works on auto now.
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Assuming you read that in xda, could you post the link of the thread?
[Nexus 6  General] iluvatrix:
It's not a link in XDA but bits & pieces of articles mostly about 5x bootlooping & 6p shutting down at high battery level
[Nexus 6  General] shayneflashindaily:
7.0 is laggy for me .. probably going to go back to a custom ROM..
[Nexus 6  General] Lawstorant:
Yeah, for me 7.0 was laggy and stuttering too, but now on PureNexus 7.1.1 its smooth as butter.
[Nexus 6  General] wazza1991:
Agree...7.0 is really laggy. Disappointed with Google. This is my first nexus and people always said nexus is very fast and smooth. But unfortunately it's not... Atleast the nexus 6. Don't know about other nexuses
[Nexus 6  General] Aerys:
Where do you guys expetience lag? I am on 7.0 and rarely experience lag.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
Same here, am on 7.0 and no lag at all.
[Nexus 6  General] demonlordoftheround:
I've only had one instance when my phone became unresponsive. Not sure what caused it but a reboot got everything running smooth again.
[Nexus 6  General] quicksilver53:
No lag with mine.
[Nexus 6  General] mirko902:
i resolved the occasional lagging problem by installing elementalx kernel and setting the cpu temperature limit form 60Â° celsius to 65Â°. Turns out, for a lot of the time my nexus was running on 3 or 2 cores with the stock kernel (thermal throttling i guess)
[Nexus 6  General] nada324:
Yay!!!, we will get 7.1.1 on january!!!!, AndroidPolice confirms!! http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...7-1-1-update-will-come-nexus-6-early-january/
[Nexus 6  General] SynisterWolf:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...7-1-1-update-will-come-nexus-6-early-january/
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Excellent news - thank you. I see that SynisterWolf has mentioned that he'd already posted that estimate, but your link has a proper specific background explanation in it and is therefore a much more reliable source.

SynisterWolf - I'm not denigrating your post, just saying that until today there has been nothing more than a lot of guesswork based on smoke and mirrors.

I wonder if they'll post the OTA sooner so that we don't have the usual merry-go-round of "I haven't got the OTA yet - have you?"... :)
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
You have to remember that most of the info people get is based on rumor. Being official normally just means it is old news. We have many people that work across different OEM, carriers and Software developers that tend to leak rumors. The can not nor are they required to give anything official
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
The Nexus 6 will receive all Nougat releases. So if there is a 7.1.2 in the future, it will also receive that. What it won't receive is Android O.
[Nexus 6  General] evowoman88:
Do we have any proof of that?
[Nexus 6  General] Candy[MAN]:
Just look at the historic proof. Nexus 5 is a great example. It received Marshmallow until it stopped receiving updates on its 3rd birthday (Nov 2016). The Nexus 6 was born on Nov 2014. It will keep on receiving updates until Nov 2017. Google stated that once a device reaches 2 years old that it will no longer receive any major OS updates (Android O, P, etc), however, it will continue to receive updates on the current OS version (in this case Android Nougat).

The Nexus 7 (2013) is another example.

Trust me when I say that the 6 will keep receiving these updates until Nov 2017.
[Nexus 6  General] evowoman88:
You might be right. I guess time will tell.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Oh stop. Just stop. Pointless speculation based on nothing wasting everyone's time. With respect.

When 7.1.1 appears on the OTA site, please feel free to post the good news and I'll give the original poster as many thanks as I possibly can (alas, only one... :)) but until then let's not waste bandwidth on pointless chattering.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
I don't get the issue with people. If they want 7.1.1 then build it. That is the whole point of a nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] veesix:
There is none as of today, but it's very likely imho, since 7.1.2 could very well be a small update.

We can also take for granted that we won't get the next Android version officially.

I won't complain, because I think time would be right to make it 64 bit only.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
The only issue I have on Pure Nexus Rom (newest build is 7.1.1) is sometimes my WiFi won't automatically connect to the nearest trusted network. Not a deal breaker by any means. Just a bit of an annoyance.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=2070738]Candy[MAN][/MENTION]: This isn't entirely accurate. Google does not guarantee a device will receive major OS updates after that period of time, which differs from what you have said. Your statement is definite and final while Google's is subject to their whim.

P.S. Get a moderator or administrator to change your username. It's impossible to properly quote you as you use brackets in your name, which interferes with the forum's BBCode.

http://androidandme.com/2016/12/news/nexus-6-set-to-receive-android-7-1-1-in-january/
[Nexus 6  General] banu17:
It's official guys, Our dear dear Shamu will be getting Nougat 7.1.1 in early week of January. Google has made this statement:

"Unfortunately, we found a last minute bug that was specific to the Nexus 6, which has caused the delay of the 7.1.1 OTA rollout. We've since fixed the issue and will be rolling out an update in early January."

Consider it a late christmas gift ???
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
To be honest I wouldnt be in such a rush. 7.1.1 is buggy as all get out. If people looked outside of their device forums they would see this. Things like device shutting down with random battery levels, bootloops then cant be fixed oh and they broke priority settings again.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
When i read about all the problems a lot of people have with 7.1.1 then i am not sure i even want it. My N6 runs great on rooted/debloated stock 7.0
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
I am using 7.1.1 and have zero issues. Must be doing something wrong.

The bootlops have nothing to do with either Nougat versions, they occured on Marshmallow too. And 7.1.1 doesn't make a faulty battery faultier.

Battery is better than on Marshmallow was lately on my N6.

Seriously, if we could now just get a dedicated battery percentage option, without the battery icon. I feel like Google has listened a lot to its user's wishes and added functions long missing from Android. The battery percentage thing to me would complete that wish list.
[Nexus 6  General] demarcmj:
And here it is folks... the last official OS (version) update from Google for our dear Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] Fvolfrine:
Has that ever been officially stated, that 7.1.1 is the last official image from Google? I feel like it all has been speculation. I am glad to have received 7.1.1, but until Google says it is over, I will hold out hope.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Also, after flashing 7.1.1, I had an update to my phone app, and now have the ugly phone icon to go with the ugly Messenger icon. Seriously, who decided that round icons with smaller icons inside would be popular?
[Nexus 6  General] demarcmj:
Look at how much of a hassle the past two updates have been for them. Why would they put themselves through that for no reason, now that the guaranteed update window has closed?

But no... they have not stated it officially... so by all means continue to hold out hope.
[Nexus 6  General] Yasharkhan:
We will get 7.1.2, that last nougat maintaince release
[Nexus 6  General] Fvolfrine:
I think it says a lot to iPhone users that Apple supports their devices for as long as six years with updates. They just made the iPhone 4 obsolete, and that came out in 2010. So for Google to stop supporting devices after just two years, and other companies are FAR worse than that, is frustrating. I will buy an Android phone when one comes out that I want, not when Google tells me that my phone is obsolete, thank you very much.

Apple sends the iPhone 4 to the land of obsolete gadgets
[Nexus 6  General] becker68:

[Nexus 6  General] Fvolfrine:
Yes, I used FlashFire to flash the OTA. I have TWRP as my recovery, and it worked fine.

[LG G2 Mini] Cengover:
I was trying to flash CyanogenMod to solve my storage problem, because 8 gb wasnt enough for me. Rooted my phone, tried to unlock bootloader. But as it is a rare model, I couldnt find any guides. While searching the forum, I found an unlocked D618 bootloader and flashed it with Terminal(Don't laugh im a samsung guy, we do everything with odin :silly: ). Then, I rebooted the phone and the touchscreen was flipped 180Â°. I tried to flash old bootloader files with terminal but it didnt work. Flashed aboot.img and abootb.img with Flashify, it made the phone even worse. Flash tool gets stuck at 2% while flashing stock firmware, idk if recovery works, but the phone doesnt boot up.

Summary

-Download mode works but Flash tool gets stuck at 2%

-Phone doesnt boot up

-Recovery is probably dead, i saw watchdog error 2 days ago
