It's really not lol and that's coming from a big fan of the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] JeffBea:
When do they usually have sales on new devices? I may wait until they have a price drop or sale on the XL. My guess is after the new year we may see price cutting.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
Doubt Google would actually lower the price until after the XL 3 is on sale. What they would do is throw in more and more valuable add-ons, like a full size Home, or, depending on sales of both, even a Home Max after a few months. Free VR Googles, anyone? And any combination thereof.

Third party vendors will likely have them for a cheaper price after a couple of months.
[Nexus 6P General] drogy:
My 6P is still under warranty. I sent it in for dying at 15% and it went to a Huawei authorized service. Came back after a week, the report says they changed the battery, the pfc board (it's the board the charger plugs into) and main camera (which i had no issue with). It's been two weeks with it and the battery is just as bad as before - still dies at 15%, AccuBattery says 2233 mah capacity and I get about 2h screen time. I'm not sure what to do now.. Is it possible that a new original battery would be this bad? Should i just give up on it or send it in again under warranty? I was really hoping on riding it out another year at least..
[Nexus 6P General] ul71m0:
I'm pretty sure that they didn't changed your battery...
[Nexus 6P General] Dconn1975:
What, the 6p you don't think is a worthy device even today? I do. I think it's a great device for what you pay for it compared to 900 dollar phones that it can easily keep up with.
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
It's not cause it's hit or miss. So many problems plague this phone and it comes with one of the most half assed processors ever. The op3 is a much better buy
[Nexus 6P General] Wiltron:
I went to a local shop in Toronto, near Kennedy and Highway 7, and paid $50 cash (no tax) for the battery, and I had them replace the rear glass as well due to a scratch on it for an additional $20 cash (also no tax).

Finished in about 30 minutes, has a 30 day warranty and was done on Oct. 3rd. After 3 drain/charge cycles (apparently required for warranty to be valid... how they'd know I did it or not is not known.. did it anyway) my battery life has doubled.

Before fix, I'd get the early shut down at 50ish percent, but now I get a full battery charge to 0.

I'm pretty sure I have some knock off as the temp sensor remains a constant 30 degrees Celsius, even after I put it in the fridge for 3 minutes to test it out, but I'm not too worried. I don't use rapid chargers, so it's only ever charging with 2.4A.
[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
Your current battery is bad at only 65%. Whether they changed it you will never know. Like many others here, I would order a battery from a known good source and pay a local repair shop to replace it. Then it should last a good long time.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Wow getting you to drain your battery is a terrible idea
[Nexus 6P General] Dconn1975:
Man congrats!! That's a good story indeed. I don't blame you for cancelling your order. I personally could not believe of all companies that Google would leave the headphone jack off the phone. Being a purist company I mean you gotta include the headphone jack. It's a nice phone but I can tell you from experience coming from the Samsung S8 which also had the 18.9 ratio that it was way too narrow. The proportion was way off to me so I sold my S8 and was able to locate a brand new Nexus 6p 64g that I ended up buying for only $150!! I got extremely lucky on my deal. I couldn't agree more with you as your 6p will easily last you another year if not longer and is every bit just as good as a phone as the pixel 2 and my Samsung S8.
[Nexus 6P General] portcqb:
Hopefully your replacement is better quality than the one Huawei replaced mine with. Just over a month ago the replaced mine under warranty it was great for first week or so 106% on accubattery lasted all day easily now a month later its already saying 97% and gets almost an hour less screen on time.
[Nexus 6P General] 318sugarhill:
After owning a pixel xl for a year and handing over to my wife (gave her phone to our daughter) I went back to my 6p. It's NOT a great phone at all. Didn't realize how much better the pixel was until I had to go back to this daily. There are minor things here and there that don't seem like a big deal until you have a phone that works better and then you REALLY notice them. It's no where near as fast as I remember it, and the camera.... Ugh. The processing image takes forever. The pixel you could take pic after pic and they would process in the background. I'm trading this in for the pixel 2 (non xl) and it can't come fast enough.
[Nexus 6P General] burningcreation:
Why would you want another OEM battery when they clearly have issues with early shutdowns?
[Nexus 6P General] Shan ?:
How is tge SOT ?
[Nexus 6P General] elsnod:
Me too

I was wondering same thing, there may even be a supercede battery out there by now (?)
[Nexus 6P General] Exodusche:
With the cheap generic battery (no temp sensor) I average 3.5 hours SOT. If you can find a ceno battery I've heard they are pretty close to stock and have the temp sensor. Final thought the Nexus 6p charges at such a high rate that doesn't take long to top up the battery when needed. Even if I have heavy usage day 20 mins on the charger usually gets me over the hump at work.
[Nexus 6P General] Samuel Holland:
Angler_#1

Ten four, the same story here, I replaced my 6p battery with CAMERON SINO but after still getting reboots when I applied heavy loads after a couple of months; I managed to find an original replacement from Ifixit. It's now been a week or so and seems to be fine >20% or so. The main thing, there isn't really a phone I would prefer for one reason or another over my 6p right now. Other than the battery issue, it has been the best phone to date.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

I've been considering the pixel xl as a replacement. The only thing I hate to give up is the stereo speakers. Thanks for the motivation though; I might just have to pick one up. Edit-just seen stereo mod-might definitely have to pick one up yet.
[Nexus 6P General] tropical cactus:
I think the reason most of us can't move on from the 6p is because it does everything reasonably well and buying a new phone right now just doesn't cut it. Keeping stereo speakers means only having a couple of choices. The camera on the Razer phone is a non starter and the pixel 2 phones are very expensive in relation to the improvements. I tried a friend's mate 10 pro.( His 6p fell into the sea while fishing ?) He's not too happy with the speakers. Yeah, faster loading times and sharper low light pics. But again, the 6p doesn't do a bad job. I'm really hoping for a credible replacement next year.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I am the OP. I need to add a sentence to my original post:

"Unless my phone goes into the bootloop of death due to a bad motherboard, I see no reason to dump my 6P."

Yep. This morning. So much for holding out for the Pixel 3. At least I got a $100 Google Store credit by waiting a month.
[Nexus 6P General] tropical cactus:
Sorry to hear that. Better luck with your next phone.
[Nexus 6P General] 318sugarhill:
I can't rave about the pixel 2 enough. And it has stereo speakers. Seriously... It's leaps and bounds better than the 6p and the camera improvements over the original pixel are worth it.
[Nexus 6P General] Samuel Holland:
Yes, it's definitely a fine looking device; I just can't squeeze the $1000. On average, I'm usually a year behind purchasing the Nexus devices. My 6p(gold 64gb) running ABC Rom/SuperUber kernel on f2fs is still blazingly fast, smooth, & lagfree if it wouldn't be for the battery issues it's suffered over the last few months. I'm currently on my second replacement battery and does ok until <20% or so. I guess I might try to upgrade to pixel XL 128gb. Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] GohanBurner:
All you need to do this yourself is a heat gun and precision tools. I wonder if they have an extended battery for the 6P.

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Placebo. I had the Pixel 2 and returned it. 6P is still king of boom. Especially with V4A.
[Nexus 6P General] Federico1997:
Ok in the last 3-4 months I've got same problems. My Phone has 1 year.

Original battery dropped to 2-3h of sot, replaced with a new original one for 30 euros (local assistance) and exactly after 2 months my battery have other problems like random shuts down (at every percentage level) with no reason.

It lasts for 6-7h even with all features disabled. Used Accubattery and it estimated 3409mAh, so like an original.

I was planning to change my phone but the actual devices don't attract me, neither the new pixel phones.

So now I ask to you guys, where I can buy a good and original battery? Ebay? Amazon? Other sites?

Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6P General] SFG:
I bought a listed "OEM" battery from the seller titanhere on eBay for $19. It was a genuine OEM battery and after several charges, AccuBattery is listing the battery as 102% battery life. Check the thread under the Accessories section for other sellers with OEM batteries.
[Nexus 6P General] 18.4009:
I have to say, I ordered a used 6p from ebay for $199. As soon as I got it I knew it had the battery issue "turned off at 70% battery" I ordered a new battery and threw it in, good as new!

I was on the fence for a new pixel but at $199 you can't beat the Nexus 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] paulh428:
Is this the result of the fix or just the Mobo dying? I live close to UBreakIFix so I'm also thinking of going there but really no point if they're going to screw up the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I think it was the mobo, and the battery change had nothing to do with it. It was doing occasional spontaneous reboots before the battery change and the frequency of those didn't seem to increase after the battery change. I would still do the battery change if the phone is still working. My Pixel 2 XL is great, but it's not $900+ great.
[Nexus 6P General] paulh428:
Ah thanks for the clarification. Thanks for the info. I was also thinking of getting the Pixel XL (2) but I may just get the battery change now. Still a good working phone with the exception of the relatively fast battery drain. Hopefully this helps! Should have it done this weekend. I'll report the result.
[Nexus 6P General] killchain:
I'm hesitant about doing the same thing because mine is still in warranty. If I send it in, they can delay it for up to a month.
[Nexus 6P General] rbrandser:
I replaced the battery in my 6p today. It was easy to do the job, hardest part was getting that back glass lens cover thingy off.. had to get new tools :)

And yeah, this device will be my main for the next couple of years. I also have a fresh Motorola Nexus 6 as at home device for random stuff. It's super nice device, great. Ah, yes I love these nexuses
[Nexus 6P General] mm6ff8:
Hey, OP, did you purchase through this guy: http://www.ebay.com/usr/battery_expert?_trksid=p2047675.l2559?

He has some Nexus 6P batteries currently, but priced weirdly. The link: https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_od...2.A0.H0.Xnexus+6p.TRS0&_nkw=nexus+6p&_sacat=0

New Original Battery: $13.95

New Original Battery with Tools: $13.30

New Original Battery: $15.90

Then an Original Battery with Scratches from China: $32.50

See the last one?!
[Nexus 6P General] Exodusche:
All the batteries are the same unless you go for one of the expensive brands. That being said I went with one of the cheapest one and first unit was a flop. However the good thing about eBay is reviews are everything. So go with someone who has lots of reviews and good rating. My seller immediately sent me a replacement no questions asked. That replacement I've been using for 4 months now zero issues. Just test the battery out for a week if you can before putting the phone back together. I just put the case over top might not be the safest thing. But for all it took to get apart no way I wanted to reopen again if the battery was a dud (shutting down randomly at any percentage, shutting off when opening cpu intense things like camera etc.)
[Nexus 6P General] mm6ff8:
I asked the seller and got a reply: the $32.50 China one is original and comes with a temperature sensor, and the $13.95 one is 3rd party. I guess the others might be 3rd party as well.
[Nexus 6P General] jvnat:
[MENTION=5052927]rbrandser[/MENTION] [MENTION=7287771]Exodusche[/MENTION] How did you guys put the 6P back together? Did the existing adhesives on the top and bottom back pieces just stick back? I'm worried that if I take them off, they won't stick back on.

edit: Did you guys use a hair dryer or did you guys have a heat gun?
[Nexus 6P General] Exodusche:
No worries they stuck back on for me with left on stock adhesive. If you want to play it safe just get some of the 2 way tape from eBay for sticking replacement glass/screens back on.
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
I just got a new visor and bottom cover.
[Nexus 6P General] jvnat:
Did a regular hair dryer work? Also, any links to the batteries that you guys bought? Appreciate the info!
[Nexus 6P General] Exodusche:
Most of them are the same (Amazon,eBay, Alixpress etc)for me in Canada went with eBay. First one was a lemon but they quickly sent a replacement. Been using that one for 5 months now zero issues. Should be fine with a hairdryer just take bit longer be patient. The hardest part for me was removing the old battery. You can pry a bit on the edges but very important be mindful of the ribbon running somewhat center behind. If you damaged it your screen will not work anymore. And last advice can give when you use the replacement don't put the phone back together right away. Test out the new battery make sure no issues. I even put the case over top for protection
[Nexus 6P General] jvnat:
Thanks for the info!
[Nexus 6P General] rbrandser:
Hairdryer yes.

Then I used glue to put back together.

This https://www.casco.eu/se/casco-produkter/?pc=162&p=1154

Anyways, after a few weeks, I'm back to random shutdown, especially when out in the cold trying to take a photo... And I must connect to charger to be able to power on again. Maybe ****ty battery or other hardware malfunction.

I'm now using v the Motorola n6 as daily driver, 6p as randomstuffdevice...

Btw this tool, jakemy jm-op08, very good
[Nexus 6P General] jvnat:
Sorry to hear that only after a few weeks, you're having problems. Maybe it was a bad battery that you got? I'm worried that I'll get a bad battery that is only good for a few weeks or a couple of months.
[Nexus 6P General] mac796:
I decide to replace the battery in my 6p no matter how much heat I use and prying I couldn't get the bottom cover off so I ordered the new top glass and bottom cover I think I'm going to take a Dremel to them. Did you have much trouble getting those two covers off?
[Nexus 6P General] rbrandser:
The bottom cover is easy, I used passport knife... the glass cover is very hard. I was sure I gonna break it, so I already ordered a new. But with a precision knife and that jakemy tool it was possible.

The battery doesn't seem bad, 4 hours screen on time I get during a day. The device has random shutdown a couple of times, when using flashlight or taking photo (with and without Flash). It can be 87% battery or 32, randomness.. maybe it's just some dust in the battery connector

*Passport knife xD, I ment paper knife, I'm not modifying passports xD
[Nexus 6P General] gallegus:
Well I had that problem too but I did a hard reset and not anymore. I think the reason behind those shutdowns is changing the shape of icons. Try it, for me worked.
[Nexus 6P General] mac796:
Thanks I used an exacto knife it worked perfect. Just need something super thin to get it started
[Nexus 6P General] GrandSportX:
I'm rolling with this one. Fingers crossed!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/253311840706
[Nexus 6P General] mac796:
This is the one I got so far so good. It's a little bit bigger too I think.
[Nexus 6P General] GrandSportX:
Does the temp sensor work?
[Nexus 6P General] mac796:
Yep seems to be ok
[Nexus 6P General] rbrandser:
I tried a hard reset. Unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP while I was at it ;)

Anyway, first couple of cycles it was working fine.

Then the next two cycles it shut down at 32%, two cycles after that shut down on 70%..

And when it shuts down randomly, I must connect to charger to be able to power on again. When it turns on, battery percentage shows same % as when it shut down.

Very weird.

I suppose I'll try to get yet another battery before giving up.

PS today it shuts down at 88%, maybe it'll keep on this way and finally shut down on 100%, and the problem goes away? xD
[Nexus 6P General] rbrandser:
I bought a new battery, and now my device is perfectly running, no issues.

This battery https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/142571069979

Happy days :)
[Nexus 6P General] Exodusche:
It's hit and miss with the batteries that are still available for the 6p. But when you find one that works can be a great experience. My first one was a dud but luckily it presented right away. Anytime I opened something CPU intense or random percentage just shut down. If you buy from someone with a good rating on eBay they would be more then happy to send a replacement no questions asked. The second battery was a gem almost a year now.
[Nexus 6P General] patsonator:
I saw the battery of a pixel xl and I'm thinking about replacing it to my 6p and see what happens.
[Nexus 6P General] sethukrishnan:
Will it fit inside 6P ? The connector is same ? Waiting for your results :D
[Nexus 6P General] mojorisin7178:
I just got my battery replaced. And i used the same people ubreakifix. So far I'm not having food results with it though. Ut I just heard that the November update messed up battery life. So I'm going to go back to an older version of los with an older security patch. My wife now has the 6p I was gifted an og pixel XL. The phone lost 40 percent overnight so something is not right. Also accubattery reports the battery health at 70 percent. The old battery was at like 63 percent or something like that.

I thought that I got ripped off until someone mentioned the battery issues with the November update
[Nexus 6P General] zymphad:
I replaced my battery as well. And with Pixel Experience getting better battery life than when N6P was new.

But still time to upgrade, moved to the 6T with the 3700 mah batter and far greater efficiency. Looking forward to battery life only beaten by the Poco F1.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] MInner:
A link to the dev manual that mentions notification shade mortification that might be relevant are welcome. I could only found those that mention editing icons, wallpapers and colors.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] MInner:
I am not sure what happened, but after installing some EMUI theme (Nougut, I guess..) and some time (maybe reboot?) corners of notifications stopped being roundish!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ZellZoy:
There's no "remove round corners" option, but the theme editor has an option to choose a different icon pack for your notification. so all you'd need is to download one to your taste from the play store and edit your theme.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] and8eye:
doesnt work offscreen :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] obedmaleka:
I did not understand what does not work. Can you develop the problem?

If the problem is that the screen does not turn on anymore with the buttons, it is that you have badly followed one of the following steps:

4. Search for 703 to get following entry: # input_fw Intelligent Key for

Dream key

703 WINK

5. Change it to whatever you want. I simply tried following: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 ASSIST

6. Rename it back to Generic.kl (otherwise you won't be able to press any hardware button after reboot)

6b.

And verify that after renaming the Generic.kl file you can still read the conrenu with a text editor

7. Check permissions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] and8eye:
thank you

i mean i remapped it to CAMERA, while the screen is on, bixby button works (opening camera app) fine, but once the screen is off, bixby button wont do its job anymore :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] obedmaleka:
Yes indeed, the screen will remain locked but the order will be executed in the background. There is a possibility to make it work, but you have to buy the Xposed edge pro app for that. After you have to program a condition that I put on video. I made the condition assuming you have a password to disguise the screen. If this is not the case, simply replace the gesture with an unlocking condition.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] obedmaleka:
For those looking to start the camera with the bixby button that the screen is off or on here is a file of wild water to import into Xposed edge pro with restoration.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] and8eye:
i assume it doesnt work with locked screen right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDusan:
Is there maybe an option to install this without xposed?

I already used this method and it worked great, but when I install xposed over magisk, it makes my phone boot up long and laggy for a few minutes after boot.

So it feels like xposed is too heavy to have for just one feature like this :/ But on the other hand... it's nice to have a camera quick launch button.

Hello everybody, in my very first thread at XDA ill share how to lock your device with fp sensor

IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE SO ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS!!!

Just because it worked for me doesnt means it will work for you, but go ahead if youre confident.

Tested on Rn3 Pro SD 3/32 Kenzo with fpc sensor

>>>>>FPC SENSOR<<<<<

I DONT HAVE DEVICE WITH GOODIX SO THE STEPS MAY DIFFER

My phone:

Rom RR by movzx 29/09 build NOUGAT

Agni kernel 10.9

Youll need:

Kenzo (lol)

Fpc fingerprint sensor

Text editor(any)

Root

Using your favorite text editor open the following file

/system/usr/keylayout/uinput-fpc.kl

MAKE A BACKUP OF IT FIRST JUST IN CASE

Find key 96, depending on your rom it will be like this

#key 96 CAMERA

Simply remove the # symbol and change CAMERA to SLEEP so it looks like

key 96 SLEEP

Reboot your phone

Voila!

Your phone will lock when you tap the fp sensor!

REVERT CHANGES WHEN YOU NEED TO ADD NEW FINGERPRINT AS IT WILL LOCK PHONE AS SOON AS YOU TAKE YOUR FINGER OFF THE SENSOR.
