Man, battery life with this phone is already **** but Oreo is making it worse.

1h 20min of screen on time and battery is already at 55%, 15% of that is apparently Android System. I'm not sure I'm gonna trust LG with another phone again, the bootloop problem and terrible battery life just ruin this otherwise good phone. Google are being dumb with Oreo as well, it made the battery life worse on one of their main devices that they still supposedly officially support, and Youtube's PIP functions being limited to Youtube Red is also bs (even though there's a way to bypass that).

Very disappointed overall, no point to these new features if I don't have the battery life to use them.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Stick to latest Nougat and the vast selection of custom ROMs. That's what I'm doing. Been running PA 7.2.3 for almost a week now and I'm so satisfied with performance.
[Nexus 5X General] Phalanx7621:
Yeah, so battery life on stock Oreo blows donkey balls. Sorry for fanboys of it but compared to Nougat it sucks. Until they release some fixes I'm sticking with Nougat. Plus the lag for me was terrible, and I gave it two days to settle.
[Nexus 5X General] _mysiak_:
I'm not sure if I had wrong battery life on Nougat or good with Oreo, but with my usage it's pretty much the same. I have disabled "data always on" in developer settings, maybe it helped a bit in Oreo..? The same applies to smoothness/lag, no real difference observed.
[Nexus 5X General] Josh:

[Nexus 5X General] linqdesires:
so the official nexus 5x oreo image seems to be tagged 23th of July (OPR6.170623.013)

but if you look at android source ( https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-8.0.0_r4 ) you can find commits dated 17th of august for example

I'm confused
[Nexus 5X General] Giargo:
Hello all,

After Oreo update Google Play Books app keeps disabling by itself. It stays active for about 10/15 minutes and then it disables (even when using). I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but didn't help. Is there anyone with the same issue? Do you have any workaround? Keep in mind that I've updated through the Beta program (I was on stock 7.1.2 I enrolled the Beta program, updated to 8.0 and then unenrolled). Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5X General] giovaorama:
Sorry, if my question is a faq.

I sideload the oreo ota and after reboot i get that ugly square icon for most of the system app and some google apps (I use nova launcher)

Does anybody know if there is an icon pack (apk not flashable, I want to keep bootloader locked) with just the system and google apps icons?

Thanks

Any player activity (YouTube, radio app, etc.) stops playback after about 2-3 minutes. Not good!

Edit: It seems to be a problem with Bluetooth. With it on, whether or not anything is connected, playback stops randomly. With it off, everything works normally.
[Nexus 5X General] MadsBen:
Haven't received the OTA update yet. Wondering if they're waiting for the September security patch, before they go with the big rollout, to avoid users having 2 OTA updates within a few days.
[Nexus 5X General] VaktBleppe:
Thank you sir, i would never have noticed this on my own, now my battery is way better, 1h 48m sot now and i'm on 64%. before maybe i could get 1h 30m before the phone died.
[Nexus 5X General] cloefosho:
I updated to Oreo through the beta program and my phone wont get out of boot loop. Anyone else have the same problem?
[Nexus 5X General] Frutak:
Hmm i don't have any problem with ? ofc, im using Elemental X kernel, but on stock had same time.
[Nexus 5X General] Phalanx7621:
I notice a dramatic decrease in my battery life. Back on Nougat for now, most likely until October when I'm hoping we get our first polished custom ROM with Oreo (they're working on them now of course) or a patch from Google fixing small bugs.
[Nexus 5X General] Machya:
Not so bad.

After OTA update it was buggy, but after factory data reset it seems good now. Had over 3 hours of on screen time yesterday. And during the night it lost only 2 %. I suggest to do factory reset.

With every app update, apps become more responsive! I guess because developers are starting to support Oreo.
[Nexus 5X General] Akopps:
Wait a sec. So you did a factory reset, which means you have erased all of your data such as podcasts, bookmarks, photos, videos, app settings, and other personal data, and then spent like an hour setting up your device to get it barely to a usable state, and yet, after doing this incredible sacrifice you report that you're getting the _incredible_ 3 hours of screen time, and you consider that a success? What a joke. 3 hours of SOT is now considered good? Shocking sh1t!

My 5X running Nougat, unmodified and without root, can certainly manage better than that.
[Nexus 5X General] Machya:
Yes, but before that i had a slightly less on screen time. And remember everyone uses their phone differently. I reseted my phone to get better Oreo expierence not because of bad battery. And if you didn't know most of the things now are backed up even app settings and call history. So it is not so painful.
[Nexus 5X General] M1ST4K3:
You do know about cloud backups, right? If not, I'll blow your mind telling you that as soon as I input my google account all those things get automatically restored, after a clean install of the OS.

There are even apps that can backup even more stuff... It's not that bad... I just did it and all it took was 20 minutes. I had to do it because after the OTA the System was taking 9Gb of space out of my 16Gb... After the clean flash It takes up 4.7Gb only.
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
This is little bit off topic, but you mentioned and recommend to use cloud backup with using Google tools, but it doesn't work properly, I think.

A few days ago my son want to do wipe on his phone (it was very laggy and so on...) and on this phone he has no root permission. That's why is impossible to use tools like Titanium. I tried to use possibility which is in Google wizard "restore" previous phone. OMG. This step only install all application, but doesn't recover any "user data" - all application was in status: "first running of this app". Even there weren't any wifi networks profiles - simply nothing. I had to do new wipe and I install and set everything manually. I think, that this function doesn't work and Google have to do more and more on this.

That's the reason why to do wipe isn't so easy and quick.

[Nexus 5X General] TheBigJoe:
One hour? You're so funny! You can make everything in less than 15 minutes... You made my day m8...
[Nexus 5X General] M1ST4K3:
Yeah, if an app doesn't do self backups it can be a bit of a shore. Without root I'm not sure how you'd walk around that. Usually all my apps self-backup to the cloud (for instance, Sleep as Android stores all the settings + alarms, Endomondo stores all your jogs stats, etc...), so when you login with your account everything is set right as it was.

I understand that might be a pain for some people. Especially when google says it syncs "Application data" (Don't really know what that does, tbh).

EDIT: On a second thought, doesn't Titanium backup work without root for that? It just can't do it on system apps, right? I can't really remember since I don't use it for years now, but I think I remember using it for that without root.
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
No, Titanium Backup needs root access to do anything.
[Nexus 5X General] rp158:
...but there's rootless Helium. If I remember well, you need a PC to initialize.
[Nexus 5X General] VollNoob:
A quick question here: Is it normal that I still did not receive the OTA update to Oreo? I live in Germany, if that has an impact.

And I know that I could sideload, I was just curious and wanted to ask you guys
[Nexus 5X General] giovaorama:
I live in Italy. Since I didn't still received the ota, I sideload it.

But I'm not happy. IMHO what Google call stable release is just an advanced beta.

Oreo is far to be mature. We are beta tester for the final release in November.

The screen on time is really poor, useless notification, orrible square icons for system and most of the google app.

I suggest you to wait. As soon I have time, I will try to make a factory reset (or even downgrade), but I think that until the new Pixel phore will be released the best choice is to keep nougat (or downgrade to it)

Hi, I'm living in Czech republic and I flashed it manually.

My wife has Nexus 5X also without root and so on... and she till now didn't get OTA update.

And because I have Oreo I'm glad that the OTA didn't come to her phone.

I'm in the US and I received the OTA update a few days ago. I have yet to download and install it cause I'm not exactly sure how to do the update while being rooted with custom recovery. I'm currently you running AEX v4.3 with TWRP official 3.1.1. I don't think I have the latest bootloader or radio installed either. Would anyone be willing to instruct me how to update the phone the proper way to Oreo using the official OTA that I received on the phone? I have not yet seen proper instructions in the forums on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, by myself and I'm sure others as well. Tia ??
[Nexus 5X General] halcy0n9001:
I just upgraded from 7.11 to Oreo by dirty flashing (did not wipe my user data) the Oreo factory image. The upgrade has been great for me, much better batter life than nougat (3 days vs 1.2 days before). I'm running Magisk and everything including Android Pay works perfectly.

Follow the instructions provided in step 9 on this page.

As part of the flash process make sure you either,

a) flash cache.img (from a previous factory image, since the new images do not contain it) otherwise the phone will just hang on the android boot animation because the cache partition has not been formatted.

b) Install TWRP after flashing the factory image, boot to recovery and format the cache partition manually.
[Nexus 5X General] NoFatePPC:
hi, I received ota , but how to dismiss it ?

I woke up this morning and my phone me showed there was a system update available for my device.

Already being on Android 8.0.0 Oreo, it showed me an update to Android 8.0 (900+ MB)

After doing the update I went back to system information.

And I've still got the same screen showing Android 8.0.0.

my security patch is updated though...

The only thing changed is the building number.

I went from OPR6 to OPR4, check out the screenshots I've added!

What happened here? Big security update? :eek:

Hi everyone, thanks for the info.

[Nexus 5X General] Displax:
First two links - it is official OTA`s.

I deleted the verification of "build date" and "device product" because TWRP does not understand them.

It is still official image, so encryption is present.

Although I have root and custom recovery I received 900 MB update. Of course, that I can't install it automatically. But I tried to download it and extract and there isn't standard *.img for system and so on, which is possible to flash via ADB. I have to wait to full image. I want to ask, did anybody flash it? What this update includes? It is solution for more troubles on Oreo?

Odesláno z mého Nexus 5X pomocí TT
[Nexus 5X General] _mysiak_:
Just replace your custom recovery with the stock one (from factory image) and apply OTA, or you could try Flashfire to install it (failed for me with Magisk with few modules enabled). New image has different build number and includes September security patches.

Btw. if you don't use TWRP often, you can keep stock recovery for easy OTA updates and load TWRP with "fastboot boot twrp.img" for rooting or occasional use.
[Nexus 5X General] bziava:
hello, i want use pixel launcher but in nexus 5x battery life this is problem you have version launcher pixel
[Nexus 5X General] CazeW:
Thanks for the links. I flashed the OTA through Flashfire just fine but now I have a weird problem with the system updater. It keeps showing the notification that an update has been downloaded and when I press it, it just shows an empty updater. Just wondering if anyone else has come across the same situation.

EDIT: Seems that a simple clearing of Google Play Services data fixed it.
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
Your advice looks very good and interesting. I have to say I never before used command "fastboot boot whatever.img" (and I use ADB and Recovery from the time of HTC Desire HD).

Please can you check and confirm (or repair) following procedure, which I want to do:

- for sure - do a nandroid backup in TWRP

- extract full image (Android 8 - OPR6) and flash back stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery.img - and reboot to system (at this time I'll have still the root permission or not?)

- download OTA and update (like "standard user")

- after reboot I'm on new system and without root of course

- reboot to fastboot (for example: adb reboot bootloader)

- start to temporary recovery: fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-bullhead.img

- flash super-su and reboot back to OS and now

with root permission

- optional: I can flash twrp back again with this command: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-bullhead.img

... and I'll be in the same situation like now, just with the update

Please, can you check this procedure if I understand it clear. Thank you
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
Sorry, but can anybody tell me if my proposal of procedure is correct? I want to do it today evening..

Odesláno z mého Nexus 5X pomocí TT
[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
If you have root through SuperSu, FlashFire works.

Or, do as suggested and just fastboot flash system and recovery from your last 7.1.2 images which should return you to stock. If you're using a custom kernel, fastboot flash the boot.img, also. Install ota then fastboot flash (or fastboot boot if you don't want to install) TWRP then root.
[Nexus 5X General] CazeW:
Yes, that is the correct order to do it. Or like already suggested, use Flashfire as that is just so much easier.

Why should he go back to 7.1.2? Sorry, but that makes no sense as he could just use the Oreo system image. But +1 for Flashfire.
[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
It seemed s/he didn't have access to the factory image which was why s/he wanted to apply the ota. If I misunderstood, you are correct.
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
I can confirm, that the procedure which I described (based on recomendetion _mysiak_ a few posts above) works fine and now, I'm on OPR4 (September security update and maybe something new :) I'll see) via OTA. I have root again and I have TWRP Recovery also.

Of course, that fastboot boot twrp_image.img works great (wow - I did not know it). But I feel better with TWRP :)

I don't want use any tools like Flashfire (I don't know what is it and I don't want it know), because I want to know what happens (I don't like any automatic script). That's why I tried to find any procedure, which I can done manually.

Yes, I have no access to full image of OPR4. I downloaded only OPR4 OTA (some link above) and there aren't standard img files, which are in full image. That's why I want to find way how to flash OTA with preservation all my files and with possibility to ROOT my device again. And it's now DONE.It's fine. Thank you all.

Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices

Sep 2017

I think, that OPR6 was some unfinished release. Because in the same time when was released OPR4 on standard Factory image site, my wife received update to Oreo (from 7.1.2 without root) and the OTA has the same size (around 980MB) like "my update" from OPR6. I think that this update re-flash whole system. And after a few ten minutes at the begin it looks like smoother system....

Data backup done, factory image flash, and update via OTA to OPR4 version. Backup passed back, applications restored via Titanium Backup, and one day of use. System stable to date, and smooth as it was in version N.

Only root at the moment, no custom kernel.

Hi! sorry if I am very lost with this...

Is Rollback Protection already enabled on OPR4?

Will I be able to flash Nougat via ADB if I dont like OPR4?

EDIT: OMG , I cant disable Peek Notifications on Whatsapp... any suggestions?
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
You can only downgrade using factory images with an unlocked bootloader. ADB will only allow you to upgrade the software.
[Nexus 5X General] skorzo:
Not really ADB, I meant flashing factory images with a unlocked bootloader and Fastboot flash_all.bat script.

Is that way still OK ?
[Nexus 5X General] Godapol:
Would also be happy about a solution.
[Nexus 5X General] fredfox_uk:
OTA arrive last night.

I'm rooted, and have TWRP.

This afternoon I downloaded the OTA, about 980MB and flashed with Flashfire (thanks again [MENTION=8462351]ChainfireXDA[/MENTION]). Those that don't know what Flashfire is, I suggest you check it out, it's far more than "some script" :D

Version is showing as 8.0.0, Patch level is 5th Sept 2017. Build number is OPR4.170623.006.

After the initial flash, there must have been a heck of a lot going on in the background as the phone got real hot and the battery dropped fast for the first 20 minutes but leveled off after that. All seems ok over the last couple of hours, but time will tell :)

Only app I've had issues with so far is System Panel 2, although BT took ages to pair with my car handsfree.
[Nexus 5X General] _mysiak_:
Just install substratum (free if you have root, paid for rootless Andromeda) and apply dark theme.. :)
[Nexus 5X General] Atok_fr:
Fluidity improved ?
[Nexus 5X General] fredfox_uk:
Honestly can't see any difference at all, however, I've always turned off the animation stuff off in developer options.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Just installed the newest Oreo image, September build.

It's umm... Well at least for me, slightly improved. It seems a bit more stable this time than the previous initial build. A little bit smoother, but still kinda laggy at points. I can say that if feels not as laggy as before though, so they're definitely making improvements
[Nexus 5X General] z0ned:
Updated from 7.1.2 to 8.0.0 via manual sideload last night, after getting tired of waiting for OTA. Notes for reference:

Used factory image download "OPR4.170623.006, Sep 2017". I followed section 9 of the how-to post exactly. I did not flash cache or userdata (nor were either of these present in the factory image download anyway). If you're upgrading from stock to stock the cache and userdata partitions you have are good. I am all stock before, all stock after.

As someone else posted, after updating, go into Developer Options > networking section and turn off "Mobile data always active". This comes switched on automatically for who knows what reason in the new build, no matter that you had it turned off previously, and you would like it to be kept off so as not to impair battery life.

I wiped cache from recovery mode just to be sure to get a clean slate but I doubt it was even necessary. Applications, settings and data are all intact. Startup time, battery life and stability are all fine. I want to say better/faster, though that could be confirmation bias talking, but certainly nothing is worse, and nothing is broken, though its only been since last night.
[Nexus 5X General] f000l:
I justed flashed and this option was turned Off for me.

Whyyy did they remove the option to show Battery % inside Battery icon!!!!!!!
[Nexus 5X General] z0ned:
I have this in Settings > Battery. There is a toggle switch to "Show battery percentage in status bar".
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Not the same. He wants it inside the battery icon, instead of next to it
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
No, this is maybe the best thing of Oreo. We don't need use couple of mods to show percentage of battery. Percentages in icon was very small and it was impossible to know level of battery for example in car. I have to say: at last!!!

But is necessary to say, the Oreo is slower then Nougat. My wife upgraded via official OTA from 7.1.2 to OPR4 and she told me: "... now (after update) is the phone slower..." This is point of view" standard user...

It's a pity... Google didn't do a good work.

OPR4 (Sept 17) does at least fix my bluetooth problem.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Runs smooth for me, I don't think 8.0 is the issue. Perhaps try a factory reset after updating? Keep in mind that it only takes 1 app that isn't compatible with 8.0 to cause issues, and wives tend to have a lot of apps installed.

System UI Tuner was all that was needed to enable the battery percentage in 7.1.2 BTW, no downloads or mods were required.
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
I did clean install OPR6 and to OPR4 I updated with OTA and the system is very show.

My wife did OTA update from 7.1.2 without clean flash and system is also very slow.

It's no problem with compatibility any application, it's problem whole system. Sometimes is very slow open some dialogue (system window), sometimes local menu and so on. For example sometimes is Chrome very slow - and I think exactly Chrome is sure ready for Oreo.

System UI tuner gave us very small (almost invisible) number in battery icon. In Oreo is classic (I mean visible) percentage...
