What an improvement over dp3. Bluetooth is back to normal
[Nexus 6P General] netwokz:
I was at work and got antsy... Flashed it via TWRP for the first time. Downloaded the image from Google, extracted everything. Flashed boot image, system, then vendor. I did lose recovery and had to flash it via adb, but I'm sure flashing it after dp4, before rebooting, would have solved that. And I have root with 2.82 SR1.

[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
This is the first time for flashing O. Stable, battery life good.

I want to say (my memory isn't so great) that the final N DP turned out to be the initial N stable release. Wondering if that might be the case here.

One thing I've noticed is that the WiFi is now prefering 5Ghz over 2.4Ghz with my Asus/Google OnHub

In the last 2 months I've been getting 5Ghz after a reboot and after 1 hour back to 2.4Ghz. (with Android N)

Yeah but the battery life seems to be better in my case. And without sacrificing notable performance in general usage....

Just give it a day just in case to be sure that this throttling is permanent and not an post-update 1 day thing.

Made the update right after it was lauched. Every thing is fine, except, the usual. Battery!!!

I have 136 installed apps!!! Most of the time, I get several apps running in background and eating battery. They are apps that aren't still build with Android O guidelines (is there any app, except most from google)

Even Gmail that is from google is not build with Android O guidelines... oh boy. A year or 2 from now, cause OEMs take almost 1 year to update their devices to the newest android version, we're going to have a lot of people blaming about apps eating battery in background. Unless app makers do something...

Am I the only one having this problem?! Do you guys really use your phones?! I mean, most of you don't have problems with battery, so I presume that you almost don't install apps or something...
[Nexus 6P General] alex9898:
I used to have battery life problems too but that was only because my battery was dead. After a RMA, everything is fine.

I was still having System eating up my battery in 7.1.2 but it doesn't seems to be the case in 8.0.

[Nexus 6P General] stealth658:
Anyone having issues with Bluetooth Audio on Android O? Just flashed DP4, and it’s very hit or miss in my car. It’ll randomly stop playing, and sometimes the track info won’t show up in the car. I’ve had this issue since the first Android O DPs. Always end up going back to Nougat because of this.
[Nexus 6P General] Viper Daimao:
Sometimes it skips out on mine but it's much less than on dp3
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
Not too sure but I think you need to have YouTube red
[Nexus 6P General] THEbigSWEEN:
Just flashing the kernel doesn't remove encryption. You have to go into TWRP and format data (where you have to type in "yes" before it will wipe), which will remove everything from the device, so have all your files/pictures/music etc. backed up on a computer or flash drive so you can put your files back on the phone after. Then as long as you flash a ROM/Kernel that doesn't force encrypt you'll be good to go.

I haven't gone through the steps myself, so if I'm mistaken on any of this someone please jump in and correct me if I'm wrong.
[Nexus 6P General] galakanokis:
So far this preview seems to be pretty good. My standby battery life is much improved over what I had been getting on O recently but screen on life is still abysmal. Have a replacement battery in hand so I'll see what that does.

One thing I do notice with a couple of different kernels is my little cores tend to stay at peak frequency for a long time. Anybody else notice this? It is almost like if the screen is on my small cores frequency is needed out.
[Nexus 6P General] doegeenon:
thanks for the reply bro. it means there's no way to decrypt the phone without wipe data?
[Nexus 6P General] Snow_ball:
If you can get the phone to boot (by flashing the 4 cores kernel) you can access your data once it's up and running. But the recovery can not retrieve the encryption key and to cancel encryption you have to format the data partition and flash a kernel that doesn't automatically encrypt on first boot
[Nexus 6P General] THEbigSWEEN:
That's correct, it requires fully wiping the device. That's part of why I keep putting it off :p
[Nexus 6P General] doegeenon:
sry, mine was off neither. it turning back on by itself after I flash O DP on the 6P. damn lol
[Nexus 6P General] alex9898:
Battery life on O is definitely better than Nougat.
[Nexus 6P General] hawkswind1:
Another good review of DP4! Battery life and performance are both pretty outstanding. If you're on the fence about going through the hassle of flashing it like I was, flash it.

[MENTION=3602170]galakanokis[/MENTION] I did notice my cpu rarely settles down and idles at 384/633mhz like it would on nougat, but even still my battery life is better. Not sure what's up with that. Setting a governor profile didn't seem to make much difference either. What's weird is the cpu temperature is pretty low even though the little cores are working away.
[Nexus 6P General] galakanokis:
Cool, thanks for checking. I definitely feel that idle drain is vastly improved over N but the screen on drain is similar. I have a new battery I will stick in once I can locate my heat gun to take this phone apart.

Overall I like O and will stick with it for awhile.

I found something interesting. Were you monitoring the cpu with ex kernel manager? It seems that viewing the dashboard screen in ex kernel manager causes the cpu to work harder than it did on nougat, causing the cpu to show that it's spiking. When I view the cores with a different cpu monitor app, the cores idle normally.

SO

Tried 3.79 radio (last one specifically for vzw far as I can tell). Reflashed dp4. No luck. I am guessing next step might be to do a totally clean flash (did not wipe data). Which I would rather not do. I do not have the time, currently, to do that. Gonna give it some time and see how battery life goes even with the wake lock.

SOLVED: This happened to me before several months ago. It is being caused by the Weatherbug app in my case. Gasbuddy was also a problem child back then but I no longer have that installed. Weatherbug is also gone and now it seems to be going into deep sleep just fine.

Quick Reply.

I joined the beta program and received the OTA Upgrade for my locked/no-rooted phone. Upgrade went smooth, no problems.

So far it runs really good, can't make out any performance or other problems. It feels a bit faster or smoother scrolling tru the apps list - but it was fast before, so maybe only a subjective feeling.

It looks a bit nicer then before, some additional help texts, some icons / functions are better to use... nothing groundbreaking but a good refined OS.

The thing that changed for the most was the battery life. I don't play with the phone, only read websites, reddit, 9gag on it and even on weekends I still had 50-60% left now, instead of the 20-30% usually.

Work day I get around 25-30 h battery life (says the options > battery part). That is way more then before. With the same usage!

Dunno why, didnet reset or change anything :)
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:

[Nexus 6P General] malwayne66:
Person's have told me they can hardly hear me as well. I make so little calls that it never occurred often but now I'm wondering if it's software
[Nexus 6P General] THEbigSWEEN:
If you didn't have a problem before you switched to O then it might be because of updating. I never really make phone calls either, but recently while getting ready to move I had to make a bunch of calls to service providers etc and kept being told they were having trouble hearing me. So I looked around and found some people had luck with disabling noise cancellation. It seems to have worked for me as well because I haven't had anyone tell me they couldn't understand me or that it sounded like I was in a tunnel or there was an echo or anything since I changed it. You have to edit the line in your build.prop that says: "persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true" change it to false then save and reboot. I guess others had said it could also be an issue with your case on the phone if it is covering the noise cancellation mic on the back of the phone, but the build.prop edit did it for me and I still have my Spigen case on the phone. YMMV

I've searched for pretty much the last 24 hours with conflicting results so I need to ask who has PIP working on dp4? It doesn't work for me. I don't have any navigation bar option in system UI tuner so I'm assuming it was removed from dp4? I clean flashed the factory IMG, coming straight from rooted stock Nougat, so haven't tried out any earlier previews. I have the option for PIP enabled in YouTube etc but nothing is actually happening. I've heard people say you need YouTube Red, others have it working in normal YouTube. Anyone any insight?
[Nexus 6P General] bmg1001:
aptX and aptX HD codecs are only officially supported on the Pixel. If you want to enable the drivers on your 6P., you have to flash one of the several zips with the drivers out there. Tl

[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
Battery life is just meh....definitely not any better than N, but I can't say it's significantly worse. I do need a new battery anyway, as my current one is coming up on 2 years old.

I have not had a problem with random reboots.

What I have had is random vibration of the phone. It's like a notification, but there's nothing that's come in.

Regarding the voice issues....after reading the last few posts, come to think of it, I have had *a lot* of people tell me they can't hear me. I didn't really make the connection until now. Never when I'm on bluetooth in my car, only when I'm talking on my handset. I think it's likely software related. "Can you hear me now?" Never used to have to say that.

GPS has been slow to lock in a location, but not really problematic.

[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
Android Pay works with Magisk until it doesn't anymore. No guarantee that it'll work tomorrow, the day after, or whenever Google decides to tighten up security. If you rely on Android Pay heavily, stock will be most reliable because due to reasons listed.

I'm sure it'll be frustrating to try to make a purchase with Android Pay only to find out that safetynet was updated that day, especially when that's your only form of payment. Same goes for any banking apps you need to access.

Rooting and running ROMs is such a nuisance now compared to 2009. At this point, running stock provides most functionality and stability because of safetynet.

Downgraded from OPP4 to Latest Nougat and now I can't get passed the "Get connected"

Hi everyone,

I used the Android O preview for one day and I couldn't get my 4g to work, so I downgraded back to nougat via Google's OTA download. When my device restarted, I couldn't connect to any wifi networks (including completely other people's wifi signal) and 4g won't connect either. (I've tried other people's 4g sim cards too) I'm in China, so I made a hotspot with many devices with a VPN on (and off) and still didn't make a difference. So I'm just stuck at the "get connected" screen. There's no option to skip the "get connected screen" I've already tried wiping the cache, full wipe many times and nothing changed. I also adb sideloaded the most current version of Nougat and still have the exact same problem. I'm about to install an OTA Nougat from two months ago to see if that makes a difference.

I apologize in advance for posting here. I've been a member for years but I haven't posted in years, so I can't make a totally new thread for this.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi all, I'm on Android O dp 4 (rooted ) , and this morning i've got a notification telling me that there's an update to latest 7.1.2...

Is it normal ?
[Nexus 6P General] Xmaster8:
Oh. Well now you know for the next time. If i am not wrong there's a note that recommends having bootloader unlocked when tinkering wit Developer previews.

I was setting up my old Nexus 5 few days ago without Wi-Fi and there should be a button in setup wizard that lets you skip practically the whole setup and then you just enter your name and you are on the homescreen. Are you sure there is no button like "skip setup" or "do it later"?

[Nexus 6P General] doegeenon:

[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
It appears some of us are getting unenrolled whilst running the beta. Enroll again and reboot, it'll get rid of the notification. Don't know what's actually going on though.
[Nexus 6P General] Josep13:
Problem Solved. Downgrading from Android 0 Preview screwed up my wifi access, but I could have used my 4g in the initial setup to setup an account, but I'm in China, and Google services are blocked. So I followed that youtube video to get access to the settings menu and then manually added my VPN service. Then I turned on the VPN and quickly force the phone to use 4g instead of wifi to connect to the Google services (because the wifi won't work and it would kick me off the VPN). And then PRESTO it worked. The wifi still doesn't work, but I can enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging to perform a fastboot factory reset. I'm going to unlock the bootloader just in case for the future.

Thanks for the feedback!
