I tried 2.03 and didn't like it. The lack of transcriber annoyed me the most as well as the fact it is Russian and doesn't quite have 100% English compatibility. It did feel a bit quicker than the standard rom though. I think excel works now though, which is a plus

I flashed back to my original rom (1.11 i think it was), but did the soft reset before the extended_ROM installed, and installed just a select few options, which drastically improved the speed.

Not really aware of any other custom upgrades... are there others?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ziki:
I installed 2.03 since 1-2 week and I like it very much: I have installed all the programs I need and I never saw any russian text (except Keyboard+ options menù, but I do not use it, and CabInst , easily replaceble by english version).

It is fast and free of useless standard programs like the ridiculous FileExplorer well replaced by the beautiful TotalCommander. It does not have Excel? Wonderful!!!! Pocket Excel (and Pocket Word too) is just something more than a viewer. without basically Office functions: use SoftMaker Office 2006 and you can finally really work with Word and Excel documents!

I am quite sure that if you want standard programs like transcriber you can find easily a valid substitute on the net or directly the CABs extracted from original ROM by someone.

Intalling into the "RAM" only the programs that really need speed (today plugins, input tools, profile manager, ecc), and the other ones between BigStorage and SD, I have a more stable Magician with very good performance and more than 30Mb of free RAM for loading programs!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twan69666:
I say "drain" because the phone is obviously not using as much battery as Android is saying it does. I'd need to tow around a car battery for this phone.

Anyway, ever since the update to 7.1.1, my Bluetooth battery reading says it uses so much battery, that the other apps dont even show up. I'm rooted but otherwise no mods. I've tried stock, Franco, and Elemental X kernels. I've even tried removing my Bluetooth headphones and car connection. No luck. I can turn bluetooth off, but that defeats the purpose of it when I want to use it.

The only thing I haven't tried is formatting the phone. Before I did that, I figured I'd ask and see if anyone has seen this or had ideas? Searching around for excessive bluetooth drain hasn't helped, and my battery life is just a little bit worse but it could be coincidence?

Ideas?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twan69666:
Well just a follow up, I tried resetting the phone...no luck. New and fresh now, still reading a huge battery drain. :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HankStorm:
FWIW, I'm seeing the same thing on the January 7.1.1 build and now the February one too. 32% today. A couple days ago it was between 40 and 45%.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admiralspeedy:
It's been like this since 7.1.1 came out. I thought it was something to do with my Pebble but I guess not.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twan69666:
I went ahead and restored my original 7.1.1 backup. I tried flashing the 7.0 radio and no luck there either. My next change will be going back to 7.0. I'm assuming that will likely fix the problem
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teinwhite:
I see this as well on the latest Pure Nexus. I don't think I saw it on NitrogenOS since it was using older blobs.

EDIT: It might actually be caused the the new Instant Tether feature. Saw it mentioned on G+ and since turning Instant Tether off, I no longer have the battery drain or bluetooth having the highest percentage.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6-speed:
Same here on the 26Q version of 7.1.1. All my battery stats shows is bluetooth. Yesterday the "computed power use" value I swear was over 100K. I rebooted earlier today and it seems to be showing other items in that list now, but not what should be shown there. I have used apps and they arent showing up there.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teinwhite:
Yep. This entire day that I've not had Instant Tethering, I've not had massive battery drain and bluetooth hasn't made the list of battery offenders.

Calling it fixed for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velishka:
This was before instant tether and before 7.1. The first mention of bluetooth battery drain was as soon as 7.0 was released.

Try clearing cache, then open bluetooth share apk and clear data. (it's a temp solution)

I turned my instant tethering off and everything is back to normal as far as what's showing in the battery stats. I might turn it back on to double check but I'm confident instant tethering was causing it for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twan69666:
Just an update but I've stayed on 7.1.1 and didn't give myself time to downgrade to 7.0. I began having problems with Google Now not populating and constantly being blank as well as the incorrect battery usage.

I went ahead, turned off instant tethering, cleared both the cache and data in the Google App, and installed the newest Google beta 6.13.21.21. Now my Google Now has been working great for 3 days but my battery usage reading are back to normal as well. It could be a problem with the google app? Or it could be an issue with the instant tethering as mentioned because that is part of the google app?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afm1118:
I have this problem. It started on 7.1.1. When Bluetooth is on, but not connected to a device its constantly scanning. Its detecting hundreds or even maybe thousands of devices throughout my work day. I work and travel around Manhattan 5 days a week. Once I get home, I have a Bluetooth system I stay connected to all the time and the drain is totally absent. I've observed the same pattern for the past week. Is there any way to stop it from scanning? I don't want to constantly turn Bluetooth off and on when I need to use it. I would love to decide when it scans for Bluetooth.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twan69666:
Try what I did. Clear your cache and data from the Google app. Then find the 6.13.21.21 beta Google App apk online and install it. I rebooted from there and things have been great since Tuesday
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
Turn of Bluetooth Scanning in three dots menu under location. That solved several Bluetooth issues for me
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afm1118:
My Google app is functional 100% I've had problems like you experienced with the Google app in the past but now it's loaded up just fine. I turned instant tethering off and I'm going to wipe every cache I can think of so Well see what happens.

Turned that off yesterday and today I still experienced 86% Bluetooth in the battery and nothing else over 10 hours.

Edit I just checked out the battery stats and it says 120% so there's definitely something wrong with Bluetooth here. I'm stock rooted from the tool kit. I'm going to wipe and flash something custom, hopefully it's better.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoTWiReZ:
I wanted to just add a 'me too' for instant tethering solving the problem. Prior to disabling it, I'd have to purposefully disable bluetooth to have my phone last more than a few hours, and even then it would randomly consume battery (if it was turned on it was a guarantee though). I had followed previously the tips for disabling the location services' ability to use bluetooth, and tips for disabling battery optimization for bluetooth-related services and applications. Disabling instant tethering seems to have been the 100% solution for me.

I'm currently running Lineage OS on my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModemJunki:
Add me to the list. I sideloaded the N6F27I build, tested functionality, relocked the bootloader because I use Google Pay often.

Bluetooth has used 66% of my battery in 8 hours or so. Even after I turned it off, it seems it was still scanning.

I'll try the .apk that twan69666 suggested here.

Edit: .apk does not install. Error given is "The package appears to be corrupt".
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Have you turned off everything in instant tethering?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModemJunki:
Yes, I did try that.

Since this is a recent install and I had a lot of cruft from letting Google reinstall all my apps and settings from my Nexus 5, I went ahead and did a wipe and have only installed a few apps that I need day to day.

I'm charging right now, in a few minutes I'll have a look at what Bluetooth is doing. Tomorrow morning I'll re-pair my phone with my car and headset and monitor from there.

Edit: Nope, after just 10 minutes, Bluetooth is showing as 3% in the battery monitor.

Edit again: I turned off Bluetooth and it seems to actually be "off" and not consuming battery at the moment. I'll mess with this some more tomorrow. Note that turning off the auto tether did not solve the problem, but disabling Bluetooth seems to be working.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModemJunki:
False positive. Bluetooth still shows as a drain, even after disabling auto tethering, turning off Bluetooth, etc..

Next I will modify location settings to only use GPS and see what result that brings.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModemJunki:
No change. Battery is being sucked dry.

Back to 7.0.0 I will go, need the phone to be working OK for the long weekend.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
If you haven't yet, reset the battery logs. Reboot into bootloader, scroll to "bootloader logs" and then hold the power button > 7 seconds until the phone reboots. Immediately charge the phone all the way up then see what happens.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModemJunki:
Done while plugged in to my charger at work (an LG G2 fast charger, don't know how long it will take to fully charge from 66% but I'm here for another couple of hours).

I'll report back later tonight.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModemJunki:
Interesting news everyone! :silly:

After doing what ktmom mentioned as well as turning off the auto tethering options it seems things are better. I've left Bluetooth itself on.

After 3 hours, my phone shows as being at 90% and predicts 1 day 6 hours of life, with no sign of Bluetooth draining the battery.

Before clearing the logging only Bluetooth was showing up in the battery statistics. Now I can see all the usual processes such as screen such as screen, cell standby, Android OS, Google services etc. in the list.

This phone is brand new "old stock" and I've only had it a few days so I have no experience with it and can't be sure how much runtime the battery actually has.

Could this simply have been an error with the logging? :eek:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModemJunki:
I set a reminder to check back in and so - I'm checking back in after about 24 hours with good news.

I did not charge my phone last night and at the moment my battery status shows 35% with 14 hours left after charging 1 day and 0 hours ago. Bluetooth is on, instant tethering options are off, and I've been at work so the phone is mostly idle with some messaging, a few phone calls, a little Web browsing, and some Facebook time. At work I only use the phone for Facebook when I take breaks outside so I turn up the brightness to 100% for that.

Screen is using 15%, cell standby 9%, Android OS is 8%, Facebook is 6%, Google Services is 5%, Phone idle is 5%, Android System is 4%, Google is 2%, WhatsApp is 2%, Messenger is 2%, and two other apps make up 3%.

No sign of Bluetooth anywhere in the list!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ModemJunki:
I'm on stock Android for Shamu, not Linegae, but in the stock ROM the tethering is enabled by default. It has to be turned off in settings->personal->Google->Instant Tethering. There are two items that need to be disabled - "Provide Data Connection" and "Get Data Connection".

Does Lineage have the same items?

My original issue did eventually come back as the Google App continued to update. This was about a month or 2 ago. Even a factory reset didn't fix it. I've just gone ahead and opted into the beta for the Google App and it is once again correctly reporting battery drain
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asab:
Hello there!

I've tried every "solution" I've found, but no luck. I don't have unlocked bootloader so I can't delete battery logs or wipe system cache. I have the same issue even in safe mode, so I flashed my phone with several firmware versions... still no success. Is there anything else I could try to fix this? It is a phantom drain, but I think it still does drain battery a bit quicker than it should.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
This thread is about the N6. If you are flashing ROMs with a locked bootloader, you must be in the wrong thread (unless you are doing sideloads of OTA).

If it is an N6, you don't need an unlocked bootloader to clear the bootloader logs. Just reboot to bootloader (fastboot) and scroll with the volume buttons until you find the entry for bootloader log. Hold the power button >7 seconds until the phone reboots, then charge the phone to 100%

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gysper:
What worked for me after listening to every single solution:

1.) Turn off instant tethering in Settings >> Google

2.) Go to Settings >> Apps >> System Apps and clear all data for Bluetooth share and Bluetooth MIDA

3.) Reboot phone and clear BLOGS by booting into bootloader and select BLOGS with the volume buttons. Hold power button down until phone reboots to clear

4.) Charge phone to 100%

If you do it in this order, then you'll need to check the battery logs to see if bluetooth is still draining.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slw3k:
Google App is already installed. Mine is a real drain.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gysper:
Sounds like you need to reflash and wipe everything, this is a very sensitive issue and there's no real solution for it, just a workaround.

So if you want more details on why I don't have the drain, I'm using the Dark nougat ROM that has the November security patches. Any ROM that is older

could

cause it.

There's no definitive solution, just trial and error. My suggestion is after flashing a new ROM, do the steps above. I never had the bluetooth drain afterward. Use proper flashing techniques like Flash ROM, Gapps, Kernel, Magisk in that order.

Reading through some of the new Oreo threads there's no mention of the bluetooth drain happening on those. Might sugggest one of those

BTW did I mention in Step 2, you need to clear ALL data? That's the regular and cache in the storage.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slw3k:
Yes, I cleared ALL data as in Step.

It's good that you mentioned "reflash and wipe everything".

About a month ago, I had 7.1.1 (which was flashed by me with the OTA image). Then I received the Oct 2017 security patch OTA. After the security patch, it downgraded to 7.0, then I started to have the issue described here. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/lE8xNdXP9Nw;context-place=starred

Symptomps are: com.android.acore process or Dialer crashing. Camera App gone missing. Battery drained in about 3 hours.

I re-flashed 7.1.1 OTA image, still the same problem.

So I decided to flash the full factory image, during the process, "fastboot oem unlock" returns error. Even the Developer Options menu is all empty. So I did "Factory data reset" from the Backup & reset manual. It took more than 30 minutes to wipe everything (Be patient!) After that, it's back to the state as just out of factory. But all the problems went away.

Then I started notice the Bluetooth battery drain problem may be a week ago. Not sure what has changed.

In the past two year, my Nexus 6 has been working great. Hate to see this kind of issues.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuroEdge:
I've followed every step on this thread and what I could find through Google. Bottom line is on my fully stock October 2017 7.1.1 build Nexus 6 there is no clear or full solution to avoid this bluetooth battery drain bug I've been able to find. It appears to be an issue with the actual build and not a rogue app. If anybody finds a solution that'd be great. For now I'm probably going to roll back to 7.0.0 stock
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barnettejd:
I did exactly these steps, plus clearing Dalvik/cache in TWRP and installing the Beta of the Google app per other suggestions. As long as I don't actually CONNECT to a Bluetooth device, battery usage seems to be reported correctly. But as soon as I connect,

all

of my battery usage gets attributed to Bluetooth. Incidentally, the GSam Battery Monitor app appears to always attribute battery usage correctly.

Running AICP Oreo 20171127, but it has occurred with Dark ROM 7.1.2 and every Oreo ROM I've tried. In each case, no root, no themes.

Anything else I can try? Since it's not an ACTUAL bluetooth drain, but only a mis-attribution, I guess I can live with it if I have to.

As always, many thanks to all of the Devs who contribute their time to keeping our Shamu viable.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
I'm also running AICP oreo, but no Bluetooth drain. Did you restore any settings from a cloud or titanium backup?

The thing I would try next it to delete (forget) any Bluetooth connections that exist then after a reboot (for exactly no good reason ? ) restore the connections. I actually would probably run for a bit without any devices to see if it makes a difference. I also delete the bootloader logs as a kick the the step when I make changes. But the only times I have had this problem, resetting the logs always did it for me.

Has your battery been replaced? Just a thought.
