[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craighalsey1987:
so recently brought a Nexus 9 got the screen where I wanted to add my email account to register the device and found that it wont let me know.

its running 7.1.1 and has android security patch april 2017

so looking for advice in how bypass factory reset protection..

I have messaged the seller who said "Sorry not clued up at all but should imagine there will be a forum on google that will help you"

so asked google and they said they need the previous sellers email account which I asked

1)Login to his Google account on the website myaccount google

2)Go to Device Activity & Notications (Under the Sign-In & Security section)

3)Click on review devices

4)Remove the device from his account

and no longer received a reply.

would appreciate any help thanks
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
You need to download a toolkit, install all drivers for computer, and follow directions to factory reset.

tried wug but wants to unlockboot loader which we cant do another method I have seen is updating via ota but wont help resolve the issue,
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enriquejones666:
Sorry, but there is no way around Factory Reset Protection. You must login to the device using the last google account registered on that device. Once logged in, you can remove that other google account from your device.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parental92:
As you all know Google has rolled out android Oreo to the masses , including the pixel c . I've got the notification on may tablet but too afraid to click install since 7.1.2 working really well for me . My main concern is battery life , being burned with 7.0 before I rather weary of the new software update to 8.0 . I'm using my tablet primary to take notes on lectures so I need a solid battery life.

Can any of you give me an impression of performance and general usability of pixel c with android Oreo installed ? I am using stock pixel c without and root or modifications :)
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragwo:
Android O works like a charm on my Pixel C. The performance is good, generally no stuttering, lagging etc. Microsoft Word isn't working though, Google Docs saves the day. I use the tablet for notes in lectures too, and I easily get a day and a half of use.

Edit: I'm on stock Oreo, no root, no mods.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parental92:
It's nice to know . I'm using quid as my primary note taking app . The Oreo impression is generally best across all pixel devices except for people who wanted all of the new feature on their Nexus 5x. . . Anyways thanks for giving your input!

I guess I'll wait a couple of weeks before attempting to update . My exam is coming soon and I cannot accept change in my tablet yet. :)

P.s this forum is really quiet isn't it ?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragwo:
Your welcome :)

I can imagine Android O isn't the best match with Nexus 5x. I had the 5x for a couple of months and all it did was throttle and stutter. My old Nexus 5 is way better on Nougat.

Yes, it's a little too quiet her here, hopefully it picks up.

OT: I tried to find Quid in Play Store, the only app I found was Quidd, a virtual sticker collector app in beta. Can't imagine it works well as a note app. Could you please guide me in the right direction?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parental92:
sorry, stupid typo. i mean SQUID (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus)

Do you experience any lag on netflix app and youtube ?

did you do dirty upgrade ?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragwo:
Thanks a lot! I'll give Squid a try, Do you use a pen?

I haven't actually used Netflix or Youtube, so I can't help you there. I enrolled in the beta program at dp4 and received an OTA of the public Oreo release about a week ago.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcons:
Only been on Oreo for a few days since installing and seems to be ok, no issues.

Doesn't "seem" to be a major update.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parental92:

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsiray:

What's the issue with Microsoft Word? Is it something that's gonna be fixed soon you think?

Edit: Oreo is up and running, and no issues with Microsoft Word.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragwo:
Great news! Microsoft Word only produces a white screen on my device, same with Excel. Did you install Word before upgrading to Oreo?

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

Sorry, Pixel C doesn't support project treble.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsiray:
I've had both Word and Excel installed before upgrading to Oreo.

both apps work fine for me under Oreo. Would cleaning cache for these apps fix your white screens?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragwo:
Clearing cache only gives me force close when trying to start the app. Force close is better than a white screen though.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluestang:
Installed my OTA update to Oreo from Nougat 7.1.2 today. No issues so far but haven't really done alot either and update went smoothly.

I did notice that this Oreo update also shows a Updating Firmware splash screen that I've never noticed in other updates. Did I just not see them or is this new? What was changed in the FW?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fetish_2000:
I installed the update....

and apart from a oddity, where the update screen seemed to get stuck in a loop looking for further updates (I had to shut the pixel c down, and start it back up, to fix this)..it's been a fantastic update so far, very smooth and far more fluid. Everything seems to be a bit snappier, and it seems to be loading webpages and youtube more efficiently, and quickly..

BUT!!...I wouldn't recommend you update immediately if you, can't afford for anything to go wrong, as i tend to find that something will be broken somewhere, that we're not yet aware of (like Picture in Picture crashing when you try to use it)....

Maybe wait until you've got all your important stuff, out of the way before you update...

Hope this helps? :)
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parental92:
nah , it´s okay. To be expected really. :angel: after all next month pixel c will be 2 years old.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darjwx:
No, afaik project treble will be available only on phones launching with O.

About my experience, the update seems pretty nice so far. The performance is about the same. I never had lag or bad perf on this tablet honestly. The only problem I have had are two random reboots two days ago. The rest is fine.

As with all major revisions of android, it will take some time before all the apps are fully compatible with the Os and use the new APIs.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelhealy:
So I flashed in fastboot and run magisk. There is a weird situation when you reboot to go into recovery it says it is flashing firmware, I not seen that message before.

Magisk works, passes safetynet check.

I saw mention that Word crashes, well that is still true initially, when I open a document, it opens then then closes again, tried it 3 times then it stayed open, something about needing to download fonts? So it works eventually.

Battery status is weird, when plugged into power it is says is it NOT charging, when I pull USB cable out, it says it is charging. Small bug, but what you expect for version 0 of 8.

Chrome closes and reopened a few times, but then settled.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNamesJohn:
I rolled back from clean Oreo to Pure Nexus 7.1.2.

The main reason why is unbearable lags in Youtube app - when the active video is minimized and you want to browse Youtube it's just completely unusable. I think couple of times it stayed this way even without a background video.

Overall I was not happy with the performance so went back to Nougat and the difference is night/day.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flopponator:
yeah i hope that is getting fixed asap. it's really bugging me but not enough to roll back cuz battery life and performance are great otherwise

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makitso:
Same here. After a lot of frustration with Oreo I went back to a stock 1.7.2 release. I was a bit surprised at how well 1.7.2 is running. Always had trouble with the ghostery browser aborting. However, now its rock solid. I guess that OTA updates, starting from the L release, have done some damage. My only concern is that that nagging system update to O notification, I am afraid that I might accidentally trigger the update.

For those looking for a quick fix with the lag in the YouTube app on Oreo, turn on "Disable HW overlays" in developer options under hardware accelerated rendering.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emureddu43:
Hi everyone, I have some serious issue with android o in the pixel c , it works fine with battery full until about 50-40 % when it starts lagging very bad, I have even the problem of lagging on YouTube app. I hope that it is a software problem because I have it from just one month and since I bought it from eBay I don't think I could have Google's RMA. I'm really concerned about this problem I hope it cloud be solved with a software action. I haven't tried 7.1 android because I updated it to 8.0 as soon as I get it.

I'm actually with 8.0 with root and xceed kernel, I'm thinking about trying to decrypt to see if something would change or to install a custom rom. Someone know something about to solve?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Try a kernel optimized for 8.0. I'd try the factory kernel to see if that makes a difference. Then you from there.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emureddu43:
I have tried It already but unfortunately it is the same, I'm now with 7.1.2 but nothing seems to have change, I have even tried with unencryption but it is always the same, i'm going to try with a custom rom like the lineage os . If it won't work even with that I suppose I should have to resign myself that I have throw 500€ for a faulty device :(

If someone knows how to solve this lag problem please help me find a solution thanks

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aragur:
I'm experiencing lot's of issues with the latest Android update.

Firstly I made an clean install. My System, Recovery and Bootlader is all stock or anything else got modded.

My RAM is always 99% used.

I have only Messaging apps and Media apps installed. (i.e. WhatsApp, Telegram, Allo, Hangouts, YouTube, Spotify)

So here is my issue:

My apps won't stay in the RAM.

If I write a message in Hangouts and than switch to WhatsApp, immediately switching back to Hangouts will cause this app to restart.

This is happening to all applications...

Btw app startup takes 5-10 seconds and unlocking the device with my fingerprint sensor takes also 5-10 seconds.

I made a factory reset twice. Nothing changed...

Do you expereince the same problems with Android Oreo or is it running smooth for you?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anazhd:
Updated to Oreo since day one. Yes, ram do stay at 90-95% at all time. My fix was simply using greenify with root of course and put everything to hibernate except for the very important stuff like IM and Mail app. Now it's back to the standard 70-80% and I'm pretty happy with it.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttocs99:
My experience with it is good apart from battery life it's terrible.im thinking of selling my phone
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicktheprofessor:
A much better solution would be to limit background processes which can be done in Oreo manually but is normally done automatically anyway.

Keeping apps in RAM and letting the system do the memory management is a great idea, manually force closing apps (which is what "hibernate" does) just removes it from RAM and sure, you'll have more free RAM but what are you going to use that for? To reload the same apps back into RAM again which is much slower and drains more battery.

Your RAM should be as full as possible, free RAM is wasted RAM.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

That the RAM is full is great, it shows that it's working as intended. That apps won't stay in RAM is a problem though, one that I don't have.

Battery life is about the same for me while the multitasking/memory management/background process limitations/performance is much, much better.

I just OTA'd it without wiping anything.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anazhd:
So if I run 10 apps in the early in the morning, and then only want to use 2 apps throughout the day, I should keep the other 8 apps so it would load faster the next time? But then due to the lack of ram, every time I'm trying to do task switching between ONLY those 2 apps, I MUST wait for a reload each time? Your logic checks out mt professor. I should've used an iPhone instead.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicktheprofessor:
Yes, you should keep them and NO, it doesn't work that way.

Your phone keeps the apps that are used and swaps out (ZRAM until that's full then back to disk) or flushes those that are not, the most recent apps are the ones that are prioritized and kept in RAM so your two apps will be kept in RAM at all times unless they are so large that one is swapped out but in that case "cleaning RAM" won't make any difference.

It's not my logic, it's simply the case that I know how memory management in Linux works and you don't.

BTW, the memory management in the Mach kernel (originally from FreeBSD) that IOS uses works exactly the same.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_uker:
I'm having the same issues.

I made a fresh install of the Factory Image, and then flashed the OTA just to see if it helped any when it came out.

Going from any app to the home screen takes about 5 seconds, and you invariably get some time to stare at the blank wallpaper before the icons pop in several seconds later.

Starting up the camera takes probably as much. Trying to take a lens blur photo is hell, since the scrolling is all choppy.

Starting Chrome takes ages. Same thing with Facebook.

It often happens that I'm listening to music on Play Music, and I go to Facebook then task switch to, say WhatsApp, and Play Music dies.

Also nice when it happens with Uber. Ask for the car, answer WhatsApp and 10 minutes later, why isn't the car here? Surprise. The Uber app had died.

Using the Share dialog is also hell, and so is the Photos app.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.smart:
Running better than Nougat here.

I have generally found that starting from scratch every major update is the way to go, instead of doing OTA updates.

Android is an open platform that allows you to customize in a lot of ways. The trade-off is you can often get rogue apps / services running in the background sucking away performance and battery life without you realising it (unless you use Better Battery Stats etc. Still, even then things can sneak under the radar).

Every now and again wiping everything and starting fresh can make your device seem like new again. The standard Google backup service is getting pretty good now as well. Combined with the new Google auto-fill service I have now ditched apps like Titanium backup completely. (Google is now backing up SMS's for you, which is a massive win).

I am using a few tweaks which is probably worth mentioning:

* EX Kernel - Glassfish 1.2 governor profile

* Magisk 13.3

* Greenify - systemized with Magisk

* Oreo Pixel mods

Using Magisk allows me to have root and still make Safetynet pass, which ensures Android Pay etc. can still be used.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atok_fr:
Are you using stock ROM ? :o

I did a full wipe but the system was very laggy compared to Nougat. Maybe EX Kernel can optimize that...
