When I first flash dp2, manually, I got several problems when opening apps, the usual stopped problem. Then I flashed the whole factory image, but when I download and flashed it I didn't knew that it was already the new OTA, v.019. But I still had the same problems. So I decided to go back to 7.1.2. I got all my sensors broked!!!

Today I was just remmber, as I'm all stock know, after seeing the download warning of O dp2, to flash it again but this time via OTA. This was a few minutes ago. Now I don't have any problems with any app!! No more stopped warnings!!! And sensors are working again. I guess I'm going to stick to O for the moment.
[Nexus 6P General] AlkaDragos:
Hey mate, I don't have problems with sensors by manually flashing the factory image, and overall experience it's just fine, i got now 1 day and 12 hours of uptime with 3h SOT and 16% left with 3g/wifi on all the time,chat, browsing, camera,so it's awesome, but i have that alarm problem which sometimes isn't reliable which is an important factor to me. Does alarm icon/info stick (it shows) after reboot? Maybe your method doesn't have this "glitch", if you can provide that info. Thanks.

Cheers,

Battery life has been awesome for me so far. Time will tell what my SOT ends at but it's on pace for my best SOT I've had on this phone.

I flashed Franco's Kernel so maybe that's the difference maker here.
[Nexus 6P General] fabiocastilhos:
And what about performance? Because besides the battery drain, phone was very stutter. Typing in any Instagram story was a patience test, for example. If with Franco the performance is good enough maybe I'll give another shot to the dev preview.
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:
I'm considering the same thing too, damn flash addiction!

I'll let you know how it goes, but I doubt I'll stick with it for long.
[Nexus 6P General] Ok:
AptX from Pixel for 6P and 5x. If it does not work, reset the data in the application "Settings".
[Nexus 6P General] Sniggity:
I don't use Instagram so I can't speak on the performance there. But I haven't really noticed any performance issues so far with the apps I use most(Facebook, Chrome, Gmail, Hangouts, Messages​, and a few other random apps). I'll report back later on performance and battery life and see if it's all going good still.

I'm right there with you on the addiction haha. I've been searching for a long time to get the best Rom/Tweaks for battery life. It's definitely an addiction.
[Nexus 6P General] ScOULaris:
That battery drain looks pretty standard given the fact that you were using your phone pretty much constantly since it was last charged 2.5 hours ago. SoT will always be higher when you use your phone for longer periods of time throughout the day without doing anything too intensive like streaming video.
[Nexus 6P General] Sniggity:
Agreed, however if I were to use my phone like this with other Roms my SOT and battery life wouldn't be this good. That's just my personal experience though.
[Nexus 6P General] dephsone:
Which version of Franco Kernel do you use?
[Nexus 6P General] Sniggity:
7.1.2 r52
[Nexus 6P General] coremania:
Latest r52 for O, it's merged to may security
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:
Same here, and so far so good.
[Nexus 6P General] dephsone:
And the root is with SuperSU or Magisk?

Similar results here on stock. Not sure what they did exactly for the improved standby time but standby battery life on Android O has been absolutely phenomenal. Much better than Nougat based on my experience.

In terms of speed, it has been the same as Nougat as I usually don't fall for the placebo effect nor the improved speed from a clean flash.
[Nexus 6P General] casonswag:
How do i update if im already on android O i got a ota but its not working through twrp and i dont have a stock android O recovery to flash?
[Nexus 6P General] NordomTT:
I just got O dp2 to install. I was on stock rom, ex kernel, systemless root, with TWRP 3.0.2. Apart from adaway and pixel launcher I don't have other modifications. Here's my process:

Download 0.19 update.

In boot loader, use fastboot to flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor.

Reboot to recovery, allow system modification.

Flash magisk v13 and pixel launcher from odp2.

Reboot to system.

The bootup process took about 2-3 minutes. Root works, although magisk manager complains about no magisk installed. safetynet fails but not a problem to me. notification dot works. pip works after creating 171 key, and I have youtube red fwiw. Wifi icon in status bar is misaligned to the right. Status bar doesn't show alarm clock icon even though one is set.

For the past few minutes it seems to be rather smooth. I can't say for battery of course.

Edit: I connected the phone to my sony bluetooth speaker, and selecting APTX/APTXHD doesn't do anything. LDAC does work.
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
Make sure to download Magisk V13 and the Magisk Manger Version 5 (Google Magisk v13 for link.) I have those files installed on DP2 V .019 and SafetyNet passes and no complaints from Magisk Manager about installation.
[Nexus 6P General] NordomTT:
Oh I installed the manager from play store. Thank you!
[Nexus 6P General] Sniggity:
My first run with this was 5 hours SOT and 9.5 hours off charge. Normal usage like this for me on other Roms and I'd be lucky to get 3-4 hours SOT.

What's really weird is my phone died at 4%. I tried powering it back on a couple times with no luck. I plugged my phone in and powered it on right away and the battery​ shows 19%. :confused:

Apple Music

Has anyone had any luck with apple music? Crashes as soon as you try to open it. Deleted data, deleted app, reinstalled, nothing worked.
[Nexus 6P General] NOTilyass:
going back to 7.1.2 does break your sensors !

Using oms version, need enable theme on advanced manager
[Nexus 6P General] davids_laughter:
you have to type in a key code. and assign it a button on the navbar. I Believe the key code is 171. I put mine on the right and made it a plus icon... it works great for me with YouTube.

It passes saftynet, what kernel do you use, stock ??? I'm on Franco and safteynet doesn't want to pass.

I'm going to put back Nougat today or tomorrow. Anyone know if there's an easy way to port the compact nav bar into Nougat? (I would like something transparent, like doing this myself, instead of installing a complete new app or big ZIP package to modify nav bars).

> The main reason I'm reverting is the performance. Nougat is much better than DP2. I'll wait for a DP3 or DP4 to test back Android O.

I can't adapt to this new constant app reloading behavior and slow "Overview" function.

> The second reason, is that I want to install Pixel launcher as system app, and this is a good chance to open de bootloader, boot some custom recovery and do it. (Maybe try some black theme, elementalx etc, but that's not decided yet).

Also, is root safe enough? My Google account credentials are safe? (last time I root was with the Nexus 5 (2013), and Now I'm more concerned about security than 2 years ago). I'm gonna use stock /system (ROM) though
[Nexus 6P General] Pradyumna26:
Hi everyone.

Am on .19 version with substratum themes kinda working.

So I use mono/art's android system and Swift Black's system ui to achieve this. Rest all apps from Swift black.

And I also think we need a telegram group for our device to discuss this more easily, or there is one already and I haven't checked, if so someone please provide link.

Here are a few screenshots.
[Nexus 6P General] ScOULaris:
You can actually edit the nav bar using adb commands in Nougat, but I recommend using this app instead as it allows for even more functionality and is easier to use than shell commands from your PC.

It doesn't require root or anything. It's basically just a frontend for applying the adb commands built into Nougat and O for customizing the navbar layout.
[Nexus 6P General] thesebastian:
Ok thanks! I was looking at info like this

[Nexus 6P General] NordomTT:
Interesting find. If I enable mobile data, settings will keep closing and will not open. But if I long press the icon I can go into wifi, battery, and data usage with no problem. If mobile data is disabled, no problems at all.
[Nexus 6P General] cnsutter:
Mine has also done this from the beginning. Missing google photos icon. It works fine though.
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
I recommend all you guys with problems with apps, speed, etc, to revert back to 7.1.2 and then let download and apply the .019 OTA. With me worked like a charm, no more problems!!! And it's plain fast, sometimes better than 7.1.2
[Nexus 6P General] MikiGry:
After 8.0 update I noticed , that mobile data is very slow. HSPA+ or LTE , download is always about 1mb/s :/

Wi-FI is okay
[Nexus 6P General] doegeenon:
after update to the version019, try to swipe to the left of the Home screen but it can't turn to the Google app.:confused:
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Clear data and cache in the settings app and it will fix this. Mine works fine now.
[Nexus 6P General] jasonzarko:
Pixel launcher needs to be installed to root/system/priv-app with proper permissions. You can also try flashing this: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/zip-pixel-mod-o-dp2-pixel-launcher-t3608789

Hi guys.

After running DP2.1 and reverting back to the latest 7.1.2 firmware, none of my sensors are working. They do work, however, if I install the DP again. Anyone else?
[Nexus 6P General] Mavelos:
I flashed the 7.1.1 (N4F26J, Jan 2017).
[Nexus 6P General] iamreinvented:
Did you flash the OTA or install the image via flash-all.bat or sh ?

I tried the latter and nothing I've done has fixed my back camera/flashlight
[Nexus 6P General] thesebastian:
I went back to 7.1.2 and the difference in performance is huge. O DP2 is still a huge step back in performance (the idea that was getting faster after the first hours was a placebo to me)

Apps don't need to reload anymore...they open instantly and free ram is above 1.1GB

[Nexus 6P General] HiM@L:
Any one that have problem with sensors after going back to 7.1.2 (just flashing factory image didnt work for me)...try factory resetting. (Settings > Backup & reset > Facotry data reset)....it worked for me.

Been on the beta since it came out an haven't had a single random reboot. Not rooted, all stock. My battery life is just as good as Nougat.

Also if anyone needs to use a Pebble watch with DP2, since the Pebble app doesn't work, there is an app called gadget bridge which will allow u to fully use ur Pebble watch with DP2
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Also not experiencing any problem on full stock O beta.

But the second day, all of sudden I had this extreme lag (close to a freeze) that people talked about. It vanished the next day after a reboot and again without me changing anything.

Sharing my results with the "broken sensors downgrading": Flashed the Jan 2017 factory image, then flashed the lasted May 2017 factory images. Looks like sensors are still broken. Going to either factory reset later or try flashing a new ROM.
[Nexus 6P General] HiM@L:
factory reset using Phone Settings Menu, NOT twrp, solves the issue.

If you only had one reboot after more than a day or two I wouldn't worry should be part of the beta.

flash a 7.1.1 image then relock the bootloader and you'll be fine
[Nexus 6P General] bcuraman:
No need to relock. I was having the same problem and managed to get it sorted by just downgrading to the latest stock image, and from there to a custom ROM. Sensors are working again with no problems.

Never relock the bootloader!

Relocking is good to know that everything is fine. You can unlock again right after that.

Did you lock your bootloader?

That should wipe your phone properly.

[Nexus 6P General] tauio111:
I've heard the Pixels dont have the misalignement/cropping problem related to the Telegram app on the O beta.

Would any of you know how to see which OS functions (and deps) are called by the apk, so maybe we could replace the bugged lib with one from Pixel?

Edit: Seems that the graphics.Matrix function is possibly bugged (not sure), and afaik matrix.class is compiled in the framework.apk which I do not want to play around with.
[Nexus 6P General] Ozzy0708:
I think it was a placebo for me too. I went back a day after talking bad about the performance and said it was all fixed with the 019 update, but I started to realise how far away it was from Nougat's performance hours later and reverted for the second and last time. I'll just be waiting for the next beta to release and see if performance is on par from here on, I guess

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Nexus 6P General] petzku:
I dare you to go straight back to 6.0.1 (MTC20L), the 7.1.2 feels sooo slow arter that..
[Nexus 6P General] Ozzy0708:
Seriously? Nougat just feels so fluid to me, but then again, I haven't used Marshmallow for a year or so now...

I'm going to go back to donut personally. That is where it's really at!
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Are you using the same phone as us? Marshmallow was so much slower for me. You probably did something wrong or got a bad download.
[Nexus 6P General] Ozzy0708:
You do realise I wasn't the one that made the claim that Marshmallow was faster, right? I was asking a rhetorical question to crixley saying that Nougat runs perfectly fluid and smooth to me and I was shocked that he preferred Marshmallow...

[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Hook a brotha up!!
[Nexus 6P General] thesebastian:
From my point of view...

7.1.2 and 4.4.4 (with ART enabled in a N5) were the fastest versions. Nougat is faster than MM from my experience.

The next one is Marshmallow. (What Lollipop should had been from the start).

And Lollipop was a fail in performance.

Android O DP2 is a beta so we can't complain. But is still very slow compared to 7.1.2

[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
2 bugs for me:

GPS+3g : 4 random reboots over 300Km.

Cpu: some cores stay at full frequency. This could be due to apps not yet updated to new sdk. XDA premium for example keeps cpu very high while XDA labs crashes several times an hour.

Not rooted so can't give more details.

[Nexus 6P General] glo106:
I downgraded back to 7.1.2 because smart lock didn't work when connected via bluetooth to my car, and having Android O didn't outweigh that drawback. I was happy with the downgrade until I saw the sensors/screen rotation were messed up. At least I know I'm not alone. Going to try to factory reset and hope it works.

Edit: just factory reset my phone and screen rotation works again. :)
[Nexus 6P General] Guuilp:
Guys, are you having problems with usb connection? On Nougat it used to show a notification when plugged, so I could switch between ptp, mtp, charging, etc... Now on O it just charges, but doesn't allow to transfer files with my computer. I've tried my PC and my Notebook... None of them worked.

[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:

Question: is there a way to see everything that's used my battery on O in a single list, including google play services, screen, etc? I see the apps list at the bottom of the battery screen, and also the breakdown under the graph, but that breakdown doesn't let you click on any of the items in it. I reported an issue on the google issue tracker, and the person it was assigned to said that the engineering team said that there's an option to "show full device usage" but i don't see that option anywhere. anyone have any ideas?

additional tidbit that xda might be interested in: in that same ticket i requested that they consider adding back the usage bars under the graph (the ones that showed when the screen was on, when the screen was awake, etc). in response to that, they said they'd consider it (yay, i guess? it's something...)
[Nexus 6P General] Asura24:
Hey there guys, just wanted to report that my biggest issue is that I can't use mobile data without restarting the phone, the reason is that my operator uses MB packages that you need to buy in other to continue using mobile data after you hit the monthly cap, so went I buy it the pack won't get activated side now the phone just won't ask for internet anymore, so the only way for my pack to get activated is to restart the phone so it would check for mobile data connection again let's hope this gets fixed soon
[Nexus 6P General] THEbigSWEEN:
If you're rooted, have you tried Better Battery Stats? Not sure if it's compatible with O since I haven't tried it yet, but it's a great way to see what's using your battery and how much.

Have you tried either turning mobile data off for like 20 seconds then back on or turning on airplane mode for like 20 seconds?

Is there supposed to be any indication if aptx is functioning? I thought the only change would be in audio and your bluetooth speaker would need to support it too.
[Nexus 6P General] ChongoDroid:
It shows you which codec is being used, what bitrate, and the bits per sample when you're connected to Bluetooth.

Seems only sbc and aac can be selected. I don't know what was default before but aac was what I found to be better for Bluetooth streaming. Also my headphones disconnected twice in an hour. They reconnected right away but just a heads up.
[Nexus 6P General] Arzee08:
Ahhh ok, well just a confirmation that I tried flashing through TWRP and it worked successfully without any problems and with magisk 11.6. booted up pretty fast as well, so far so good
[Nexus 6P General] ryanmat:
I tried to dirty flash and got a bunch of weird errors with the system and I couldn't connect to cellular data. So, I had to fastboot format userdata, and that seems to have fixed everything. Just a heads up if anyone else runs into the same issues I've had (I may be the only one).

Also, I'm using the 03.67 bootloader from the 7.1.2 beta 2 instead of the 03.64 in this one, and all seems to be running smooth. Cheers!
