Any improvement on battery folks
[Nexus 6P General] swa100:
Yes. I got half an hour more SoT.
[Nexus 6P General] bdcrim:
Same with me, additional half hour.
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
Did you guys notice the new options on the developers menu ?!

OEM unlocking (does it even works?!) and Automatic System updates (that is the same thing from that Pixel feature?!)

I don't recall seeing those two before, but I could be wrong...
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:
What? You mean the OEM unlock option I've seen it before. And automatic system updates? I'd think we had that for ages now... I mean.. otas?

Are they any different from the options presented on status (regarding system updates) ?
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
as I said, I don't remember seeing those two options on the developers menu but I could be wrong.

I don't know what both options do in reality.

Got it??
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
Both was there since android 7.1 or even before.

OEM locking is to unlock the bootloader and automatic system update does nothing because we don't have seamless update.
[Nexus 6P General] ChristoforoI:
Are there any settings to turn on and off doze. Updating to 7.1.2 seems to have killed doze on my phone and i'm getting almost 2%/h battery drain at idle with the phone not deep sleeping as much anymore.

Used to doze all the time and would maybe have 0.4-0.6%/h battery drain during idle. Battery graph has a very noticeable slope during idle times where it used to be completely flat before in the same scenario.

People reporting getting about 30min more battery but i seem to be getting about 30min to 45min less.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Do you use greenify? The aggressive doze feature on there has made a huge difference for me.
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
Battery has been good for me. Have you tried wiping cache/dalvik?
[Nexus 6P General] ChristoforoI:
No. My 6P is completely stock except maybe 2 non google apps.

Ya, a couple of times.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
You never know what's inside Google Apps and how do they interact with Google servers which are probably at the same time updated..

2G also has a non negligible impact. Combined, they create chaos on my battery (I go in places with defective or underscaled cell tower). You just see the phone constantly waking up (in the battery stats) while screen is off.

Disabling Google backup or sync helped sometimes.
[Nexus 6P General] Danilo Pantelić:
Android 7.1.2 (January security patch) - 5h SoT with few bugs...

Android 7.1.1 (March security patch) - 6h 15 min SoT without any bugs.

Same settings, same number of apps and both on WiFi.

Google beta program canceled [emoji35]

Nexus 5X at least have fingerprint swipe function months ago ...
[Nexus 6P General] NOTilyass:
6h sot completely stock ??
[Nexus 6P General] Danilo Pantelić:
Yes, on WiFi!
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:
Meanwhile I'm just wondering why the images for the 6P are taking their sweet time to come out..
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
Don't know why, or what that means for the next beta version timing either. Hopefully we are on the same release schedule now with the Pixel/XL. In case you didn't see them, there are two OTA's in the OP. I've been using full images with FF for quite a while, but couldn't wait and just used the TWRP flashable OTA. If you are rooted you need to flash SU afterwards, and if a kernel, flash that third. I just queued up all three and was back up running in no time.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Can someone please respond to one of us asking if there is a new radio (baseband)? It's been asked and ignored several times. It takes 11 seconds or less to check, and another 15 seconds to respond to this. lol. Let's start being helpful people!!!
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
And it takes even less time to search for yourself. You must be a really important person.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
It does in fact take much longer than 11s to download it for 40 minutes. I was asking playfully. Thanks for trying to take it down to your level.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Same version 3.79 since January
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Thanks bud!
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
So after a few days, looks like I have higher battery drain than on 7.1.1. It also seems a bit less reactive but that's highly subjective..
[Nexus 6P General] eisenharter:
I am on beta 7.1.2 since about 2 weeks but no security update for march by now... anyone else? I also ask myself, if the beta 7.1.2 and also beta google play services as well as beta google app prevents the official rollout for the google assistant?!

can anyone help?

thanks from germany...
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
There won't be a security update per se for the 7.1.2 beta. Eventually we will get either another beta release with the latest security updates baked in, or the final public release version of 7.1.2 at the end of the beta program. Then you will be back on the regular monthly security updates again. As for PA, it's working just fine (in the U.S.) on 7.1.2 beta and beta google play services and beta google app. For now the limitation is your geographic region. Eventually you will get it in Germany. Google just hasn't thrown the (server side) switch yet. Prost.
[Nexus 6P General] ChristoforoI:
Tried deleting cache again and battery has gotten worse.
[Nexus 6P General] gqukyo:
Anyone know the vendor for this beta? I updated to the Mar update via full OTA and it was wonky so I had to restore back to the beta but now I'm getting that annoying error msg at start up. Doesn't really affect anything from what I know but still irks me. Lol I've tried the Feb vendor but that wasn't it, still got the error msg.
[Nexus 6P General] vegas217:
encrypted

will this OTA encrypt the phone?? That is ThEEEEEE worst thing that happens when installing anything from Google.
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
The vendor takes on the name of the software it is attached to, so it's NPG05P. If you're asking for someone to provide a link for the 7.1.2 vendor.img, this doesn't exist. Someone would have to backup their 7.1.2 vendor.img and post it for you since there's no factory image.
[Nexus 6P General] vegas217:
will this ota encrypt my phone...i do not want to lose all my data again...after last time im weary of installing anything that isnt a custom rom lol
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes, every OTA will do this. The stock boot.img enforces encryption on boot.
[Nexus 6P General] gqukyo:
Guess I should start backing up vendor as well then.
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Probably so, until preview 1 or 2 factory image is posted.
[Nexus 6P General] imarcel99:
Is bluetooth issue resolved with March security update? Because as far as I can tell it is only resolved with 7.1.2
[Nexus 6P General] ranbd0:
Hi everyone !

Anybody know when Google should publish their 7.1.2 version officially on beta program site ?
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
Yes, BT was fixed for thousands with beta 7.1.2. I'm not going back to 7.1.1 to find out if a security update fixed it, but I doubt it. So far, 7.1.2 only has two small bugs that don't affect me.
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:
Is there still only one release of 7.1.2 so far?
[Nexus 6P General] abarash:
For what it's worth, I still have the BT problems in my Honda Pilot on 7.1.2. In the Leaf, I've never had a problem. Pilot, BT drops every few seconds while on a call. :(
[Nexus 6P General] Knight77:
So guys I need help for something I think it won't be that difficult to answer: I'm rooted, got TWRP, got SuperSU and Flashfire (first time using it). I downloaded the OTA via Wifi, then used Flashfire for the flash process, the problem is that after part of the process it rebooted and gave me the "no command" with the red triangle. It rebooted two or three times ending with the same screen. The only thing I could do was to go back to TWRP (that was still there) and recover a backup I did right before this tentative.

How can I solve it? I also thought that maybe I could skip this update but the pop-up suggesting the update it's really boring to me.

Hope you can help! Thanks !
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
You can flash the working TWRP flashable zip in the OP. FF has had some issues with OTAs. You may also want to get out of the beta program for now since you are rooted with a custom recovery. Do that first and then flash the OTA via TWRP. Or wait for the full image, but it may not come until final.
[Nexus 6P General] Knight77:
Decided to leave the Beta Program, then install the last OTA image via Flashfire. Got some problem due to vendor change but with the help of Google and a good waste of time I've been able to solve it...

[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Actually while reverting to 7.1.1 I realize that I was partly wrong.

3.79 was already there but only for VERIZON users while others had 3.78.

Could be the reason why I have higher battery drain on 7.1.2b but I'll revert the complete image anyway.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Interestingly, after flashing 7.1.1 factory images with official method to get back to my old configuration, I now have Data problems. Cleared cache, cleared network settings. Just didn't clear userdata yet. Wonder how this can happen ?

Edit: also had some weird bugs. All solved by factory reset.
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
New update out
[Nexus 6P General] gerard_f:
Comes with fingerprint gestures?

Edit: yes, fingerprint gestures are included!
[Nexus 6P General] undermark5:
Confirmed

I got it as well and it's got the fingerprint gestures. Oddly still no image download on the beta images, perhaps after a few days?
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
Nice to see the fingerprint​ gestures!
[Nexus 6P General] Fallro:
Ohh my god finally, soo much easiet now with the big screen
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:

OTA Link - 7.1.2 Beta 2

Someone at reddit already posted it

https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../d2b4e6305e133d9edf45c820ebbbe47a6ef1cf29.zip
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
Cool, thanks pal! Wonder if this one is TWRP flashable?
[Nexus 6P General] mademan420:
Its an OTA directly from Google, so probably not.
[Nexus 6P General] freezer2000:
That's right, this is the direct OTA file from Google HQ. You'd need to wait for the TWRP flashable. Trying to flash it via FlashFire. Will see if it works and report
[Nexus 6P General] Fallro:
Did they remove the clear button under notifications? Doesn't seems like i have it...

Edit:nvm guys?
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
Yes, from what I am reading you are correct. It has to be "fixed" by a dev first to be TWRP flashable.... but at least it is available. Thanks. [MENTION=6345368]Displax[/MENTION] did it for the first beta and it was posted in the OP of this thread. Hoping he will have time to do it again for us.

I tried FF last time and it failed after overwriting my bootloader and boot partitions. Waiting this time :)

So we got security patches from March and a new radio: 3.81

Let's see...
[Nexus 6P General] vanpra:
Used flash fire with the it's download above and it worked fine
[Nexus 6P General] BaumerS4:
If I'm on 7.1.1, rooted and Franco kernel, am I going to get into trouble using the link above and Flashfire?
[Nexus 6P General] exSD:
Yes. You are requried to be on 7.1.2 already to take the OTA. Plus you cannot be rooted, have a custom recovery or kernel.
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
I just loaded the OTA zip up in FF but have not flashed yet

Did you select mount system r/w?

Did you get a FF popup warning about flashing a block level OTA?
[Nexus 6P General] BaumerS4:
If I flash the TWRP flashable zip in the OP, does that get me to where I could flash? Trying to avoid losing data partition.
[Nexus 6P General] vanpra:
No, I just didn't touch any of the options, which i believe is only ticking restore stock system and boot partition
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
sp

I used the TWRP flashable zip when I was on stock rooted 7.1.1 and it was perfect. Know you will lose root and your kernel if you had one. I simply queued OTA, SU, Kernel into TWRP and after all 3 flashed, no issues whatsoever. That will get you to 7.1.2 beta 1. You will not lose your userdata. I'm going to wait for a TWRP flashable beta 2, -or- Google to post the full beta OTA image that I can flash with FF.
[Nexus 6P General] nicogri:

[Nexus 6P General] kakabobo:
anyone can post the radio files 3.81 from beta 2 ?
[Nexus 6P General] vanpra:
Don't tick anything except for restore boot and system image, at least that's what worked for me

In takes a very long time to update and the boot up so don't worry. Mine took around 10 minutes
[Nexus 6P General] MeltdownSpectre:
Now that the 6P has received Beta 2, where are the factory images for it?
[Nexus 6P General] serdel_elo:

[Nexus 6P General] Lirkaren:
Did the 6P get fingerprint gesture support in beta 2 or should I just accept that the 6P was the sister model and the 5X the flagship?
[Nexus 6P General] Fallro:
Literally if you have just checked few post before, yes it supports fingerprint
[Nexus 6P General] XZQ't:
I came from 7.1.1 + TWRP + root.

1. Nandroid Backup + Disable Fingerprint + PIN/Password/Pattern unlock just to be safe

2. Flash OTA TWRP flashable from OP + SuperSU as well to keep root

3. After finished boot up, update OTA from https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../d2b4e6305e133d9edf45c820ebbbe47a6ef1cf29.zip with FlashFire

4. I use FlashFire default parameter, didn't tick additional box.

5. Wait !! Flashfire took a bit of time to finish everything.

6. Done.

Not /sdcard/data/ , but /data

Root need to access this folder.

Or just make a bug report from developer settings, save to int. storage and post here.

What I'm doing wrong?!?

Just tried to flashfire the ota file, but in the end it won't flash the ota...

You guys choose Flash ZIP or OTA, right?!

After choose file I don't tick or untick anything...

I'm with root, twrp, custom kernel and magisk...

[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
I had flashed stock recovery before I flashed with FlashFire. Had no problem, but it stays on boot animation well over 5 minutes.
[Nexus 6P General] pinyata:
Worked for me too. I came from 7.1.2 Beta 1 with TWRP + Root so I skipped step 1 and 2. Once it left the FlashFire install screen it went through the boot animation, restarted then stayed at the boot animation for 10+ minutes. After that everything worked fine.
[Nexus 6P General] thegios:
Should I select modem firmware?

Of course I had no nandroid backup since I trusted FF: flashed in the past at least 5 images (stable and beta).

Had to hard reset... Finished now to reinstall and configure everything...

Gonna take a backup 1st thing in the morning.

Dunno what happened this time, did exactly same steps as previous time, yet after flashing it got stuck at boot. Maybe I did wrong choice in selecting the radio firmware? o.O
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
Maybe you selected the keep root option, as someone already reported, there could be some booting issue with SuperSU
[Nexus 6P General] thegios:
Yes I did, as always...

Oh well that what? Do we have to wait for SU to be upgraded?
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
Yes I think so, I don't know if SuperSU will still be updated with the same speed as always but maybe that magisk one will be before.. I don't remember if chainfire is officially out of the games
[Nexus 6P General] jiajialing:
I download full beta 2 image, flashed boot, system and vendor, reboot all looks good.

however, lost root, reflash supersu beta SR3, bootloop?

any suggestion? tks guys
[Nexus 6P General] 5.1:
Considering it's a new Android version, SU incompatibility was expected... :)

Solution: Wait for a SuperSU update as discussed in the posts above yours!

[Nexus 6P General] madsurgeon:
Updated from Feb factory image to Beta2. Downloaded beta2 images and latest platform tools. Fastboot flashed modem and BL. Went into twrp did a wipe, then booted into bootloader again, fastboot flashed vendor, boot, system and twrp img, rebooted to twrp and flashed Su-sr3. Booted into system, no issues. Even flashed EX on top later, running great. Love the fingerprint notification thingy.

Not necessary. I dirty flashed the March 2017 stock build and I got the OTA for the latest 7.1.2 build. But yeah, it was a 1.3GB download and not the incremental update.

Nice. This would have been helpful when I was traveling last week. I didn't know whether I was connected to LTE or HSPA+ because the icon would just show the standard R and would have to dig into the About Phone menus for it. Good to know this info will be available at a glance now.
[Nexus 6P General] thegios:
By SU UPDATE you mean a new .zip to be flashed thru recovery?

So I'm back to not being sure why this time flashing full beta2 image with FF caused me an infinite boot... :(

[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
it seems the beta 7.1.2 factory image for our Nexus 6P is out..
[Nexus 6P General] 5.1:
Not sure... Maybe try clearing cache?

I didn't install myself. But I encourage you to read the few last pages. I bet you'll find the proper way to install it without bootlooping. Also since full image is out, you could backup datas, wipe and install it this way.

Good luck... :good:
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
I waited for the full image and used FF with no issues. Did you include (tick) the modem partition maybe? After successfully updating with FF and booting into the OS, I just manually updated the bootloader and modem. If FF finished ok, this is probably all you need to do to get out of the bootloop.
[Nexus 6P General] Edgio60:
Exactly this. Download the full factory image and make sure only boot, system and vendor are selected in Flashfire. Preserve root works too.

The bootloader and modem are elsewhere in this forum and can be flashed separately.
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
I did forget to mention the defaults of Inject SU and preserve recovery always work. The bootloader and radio .img files are included in the full beta 2 image, so I just copied those two into my ADB folder and fastboot flashed them. I opened flash-all.bat with Notepad and copy/pasted the lines below to the command line. Hope this helps. [MENTION=289207]thegios[/MENTION]

[Nexus 6P General] thegios:
FF always worked for me, that's why I do not understand what happened this time...

Yes, I clicked modem forward: is this the problem?

Why do I have to flash it manually?

And why also bootloader?

If I have to do this manually, than I flash the whole parts manually...

FF is so easy as I can do it at work without the need of a pc...
