[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
Can't wait to see the day where all the apps (Gapps too) stop asking things you already seen or chosen when you do a factory reset or change your phone.

Android Backup and Restore has improved a lot, but still has a long road to go. Probably in the future, you just change the Phone and everything, not just some things, are restored. All the little checkbox you ticked in each of the apps. (With "Settings" app, this is happening a bit at the moment, some settings are restored).

Examples: "Dark theme enabled in Tapatalk" / "Use" or "Background activity disabled for Facebook Messenger lite".

You mean like with a full Nandroid backup? :laugh:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
No that's different... that's a copy of everything in the phone. I'm talking about Android backup and restore.

So you don't need to start configuring alarms, app and everything after you upgrade your phone.

Ahhhhhhhh perfect, I didnt see that "Restore Missing Apps" last time I did this but that was a looooooooooong time ago... I was just nervous about using TiB again bec last time it kept freezing and it was an exhaustive process and basically I just gave up, pissed me off on a paid app.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
Ya seems like every app saves differently so thats why I laugh when people are like, whats the big deal, just redo your phone and only takes an hour.... um no. Maybe if you dont do much and use your phone to check email, calls, and texts and a couple of games but for me its an exhaustive process bec even after you think you restored, there are always some things in the subsequent weeks u find that wasnt restored, missing, or settings are all screwed up. Not a life breaker, but ya, someday maybe they will universally code settings the same way so a backup program can do something like what imaging does in Windows, although Android has many more roms and providers to deal with so u may need some additional steps anyways.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
Yes it's a lot of work. For me is never an hour. It's like 3 hours after the android welcome assistant and then several days till I open app by app and setup the settings for each one of them.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
Yea that sounds much more realistic... some people try to oversimplify and think they are doing it in an hour but not.... or they just cant tell time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
I still use TiBi pro for backing app all of my apps. It's just quicker in my opinion. Immediately after flashing new images or roms, I just go into batch actions of TiBu and restore all missing apps with data. Takes about ten minutes and all my apps and data are restored.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
And I have to add that recently I'm just not rooting anymore...

Currently I have the 6P with open bootloader but just because by bank doesn't support android pay and I don't want to go through this android restore slow process.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
You never had it freeze or not restore something properly? That is the one I am most worried about, its a highly frustrating process when an "automated restore" just doesnt finish the job after waiting over an hour, which is what happened last time I used it for my Galaxy S4, tried 3 times too, so I ditched it and used Google restore and dealt with all the settings after manually.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
No sir. I've been running TiBu pro on my Nexus 6p since launch. I've flashed almost every factory image/security update after completing a full wipe before each flash, thus removing all of my apps and data along with it. TiBu pulled through every time. I also make sure to do a batch "redo" of all my backups prior to wiping/flashing the device so this way all my apps data are up to date when I restore them. I'd be lost with TiBu!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
I see many posts on how to root and then how to wipe but I want to make sure what is the process when you have a rooted phone you want to UN-root and wipe because I am thinking to getting rid of root and leaving it stock this time, not sure yet... and in what order is ideal?

Flash factory image using the attached flash-all.bat file (or flash-all.sh for MAC) and then lock the bootloader if you really really wanna go stock.

BTW, what are the reasons you wanna go back to full stock?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandar1980:

I prob wont stay in stock but I am sick of my phone right now all corrupted with its background processes and 2 hr battery life, and I dont feel like troublenshooting every component, would just be easier to go to stock and then start over. Easier to do this with a phone than PC.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
Have you used NRT and TiBu? Comparison? I know TiB is one of the leaders but again I have had a bad experience with them last time and makes me hesitant to use it again even though I had bought the pro version.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
Even if you intend to move later on to a custom ROM , the way I have suggested you, will make your device squeaky clean and ready for a new ROM without any extra baggage trailing you.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
I think the Nexus 6P is still a pretty awesome phone. But just for my future "planning" is there any phone just out or will be out that is noticeably better than the 6P in more than a couple of categories? I dont mind staying with Google and also dont mind if it doesnt have the VR feature, not a big deal to me for that. Mostly memory, processing, screen, sound and reliability/robustness. Being waterproof is the last cherry on top/tiebreaker.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
- The linear upgrade from the 6P is the Google Pixel XL.

- The smart (at least for 2 year update cycle people) upgrade from the 6P is the incoming Google Pixel 2 XL

The Pixel XL doesn't have stereo speakers so if you're a fan of this...upgrade directly to the Pixel 2 XL.

Regarding water proof...you will know about the existence of this.... on October 4th when it is unveiled.

Dang pretty high price points and it seems they will be water resistant.

Thanks! I think I will keep my 6P for a while, have better things to spend my $$$ on, like bills LOL.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
Yes. Prices are too high considering they generally provide 2 years of updates.

For that price is better the iPhone 7 Plus probably will get 3-4 more years of updates.

My iPhone 5S is already 4 years old and was just updated to iOS 11 which in my opinion work faster than iOS 10. But I don't like iOS for everyday usage.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman88667733:
I went back to a 6P around 5 months ago after having gone through 4 from Google (lots of faulty units) I had been using a 6s Plus/ Oneplus 3 for a couple of weeks too. I've come to the conclusion that the 6P is, for the price, still the best option for most people! I rooted mine and put a fairly clean Rom on it, put a new battery in and it flies! It does most things very fast and the battery lasts me all day.

However, if the Pixel 2 is a big upgrade, I will probably get it because I'd rather be on stock software and a bit better battery life.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
Same for the 5X...

For the price you can get a 5X (like 230€ at the moment), you can't get a phone with that camera photo quality. Photo quality is the same as with the 6P or Pixels.

Now, if you also add to this deal good performance, good fingerprint unlock and, the best, Oreo and few more years of security updates. It becomes even better deal. Despite the bootloops after big OTA updates.

Performance is not that behind the 6P. I have both phones. Pixel is the right upgrade for perf.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nichinu:
Stock

Stock... Since I am rooted I have to download the update every time and dirty flash it over the current one..
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Yes, and flashing the stock ROM also flashes the stock recovery. Hence TWRP being replaced.

If you want to keep TWRP after a stock ROM flash, just flash the recovery img file right after you flashed the stock ROM.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] GroovyGeek:
Or use Flashfire and check the appropriate box.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jameswalker457:
Use Flashify it's an app in the play store I had the same problem. Flash recovery via that
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nichinu:
So I don't need to install it via bootlaoder every time.. I can just flash it via recovery after installing the rom and that will work??
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Yes. I updated mine the exact same way.

But remember, flash them all at once and reboot only after you're done. Rebooting will replace TWRP with stock recovery and you won't be able to flash TWRP in stock.

Flash stock ROM, Magisk or SuperSU and a TWRP.img file, then reboot.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
Have ANY of you who rooted your Nexus 6P experienced any negative effects or problems in the months afterwards? Meaning slower speeds, response, battery draining faster, crashes, freezes, etc....? I am just trying to see if there is a pattern anywhere from those who are rooted. I am sure it cant be but it'll be for my own peace of mind if anything in the future if I am to keep this phone for another while.

I also know of many apps that CAN be used only after you root, but are there also things you can NOT do after you root that annoyed any of you?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murphyjasonc:
No problems after rooting here. The 6P is way more responsive and battery friendly after root. The only crashes I ever got was caused by myself and easily fixed because of root. The only negative is the tail chase with safety net. As of right now though rooting with Magisk will pass safety net. There might be a few apps that Magisk can't hide from root but none that I use.

This tool might work for you. Ive never used it myself but it looks promising. It supposed to be able to control your phone on your pc.

For the custom recovery, it should tell you what model you have when you boot into download mode but the TWRP for the note 4 has been unified so it should work either way. This link is for the most recent version. Get the .tar file if you're looking to use ODIN to install it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beefriendly:
Thanks for the reply! The tool you inked to requires USB debugging switched on. I was looking at it previously but didn't consider it because of this. I have USB debugging off, and the process I described with the dr phone windows application /download mode, doesn't turn usb debugging on.

Is there a way that I can flash a recovery for the note 4 that has USB debugging enabled from the start? If anyone knows please describe the process or post the link.

I think I need step by step instructions or screen shots for what to do with the Note 4 twrp recovery. I am trying to acquire a second phone so I can view the screen and know what buttons to press, but so far it is not looking like I have enough information to do sms backup from the twrp menus..on the device when I can't see the screen.

I see reference to being able to use adb commands to control the twrp recovery / backup process, but so far I haven't found anything that will help for my particular situation. If anyone knows what adb commands to use to pull the note 4 sms files , or a backup that includes them, PLEASE let me know.
