nexus 6p shutdown issue

did going back to 8.0 solved nexus 6p shutdown issue..even exactly i am facing this i
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clifford64:
No, I replaced the battery and that fixed the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
Not sure if I am burned out or just no longer have the desire but I realized I have not flashed a custom ROM since June of this year so I'll be rapidly approaching 6 months and that was for my 5X. This Pixel 2 I have left stock and the Pixel 1 I had, I made it stock back in June after flashed for a few months.

I have a few mods that I use, but for the most part this Pixel 2 is stock unrooted. I think part of it is being able to also do updates without issues. Ever since the Pixel 1, I could never update stock without wiping. Whenever I'd try to flash individual files or remove the -w flag, it would still wipe. Pixel 2 works fine, battery life has been incredible so probably no changes in the near future.

Plus getting root is getting harder. I don't use Android Pay, but I stopped using magisk over the summer. Too much back and forth.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] quakeaz:
I plan on keeping my Pixel 2 stock, probably as long as Google actively supports it (at least 3 years they say...). The main reason I switched to the Pixel line was Google's frequent updates and the lack of the need to constantly be flashing a different ROM, etc.

I am very happy with Google's software experience. In the past I mostly ran custom ROMs on my Samsung devices to get away from the Samsung bloat/UI. With Motorola it was primarily due to the lack of software support from Lenovorola. So far the Pixel 2 in its stock form is exactly what I have wanted from my previous devices, without modification.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] xdaninja:
mines stock besides bootloader unlock, magisk, and custom kernel to pass safetynet

love it. fast, responsive, and best battery life in any phone i've ever had
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] seos83:
I just got mine and mines stock too. I used custom ROMS because OEMs never updated their ROM. I'm hoping I won't have to flash to a custom ROM for the next 3 years.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] AsuraDas:
Stock but running Dev preview. The ab partitions seem like more trouble than it's worth. Having owned G6 as well as the s8+ on TMobile. I just feel incentive to root is just not there anymore. As much as the AB partitions are a pain I absolutely love how fast updates are. Like holy sht less than 5 minutes and all is up and well.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Lucio_74:
The only reason why I would root is because of the possibility to change the system fonts !

I really like to have my favourite fonts on the phone !

Otherwise, I'm happy to stay stock !
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] MaxNXS:
I have been using "Google phones" since the Nexus S. The Pixel 2 is the first one I have left completely stock.

Android Oreo is fine the way it is for me. Battery life is great, I block ads through my own VPN connection so I really have no reason to unlock it and root it.

I just sideload the monthly updates and everything just works. I am very happy with it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
The stock 8.0 on the 5X has been pretty bad although it's possible if I factory reset it, it may be better, but it has just worked poorly but I have not formatted since June just rolled it up.

8.0 on the Pixel 2 has worked fine without any issues. The updates on time and frequency is probably the biggest appeal for me. There was one LG I had a few years ago that got updates for 12 months. Never changed past Lollipop. Just released with Lollipop then patches for 12 months then that was it. Unacceptable.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
I still don't fully understand the A/B partitions after they removed the recovery factory. There's slot A/B, but I'm not sure how to manage them, I just let TWRP flash whatever.....that's part of it too, I can't keep up with the constant changes.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] foosion:
I use stock on all my google phones. I used to root, mainly to block ads, but I'm using dns66 on my Pixel 2 and it seems good enough.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Lordcolus:
I use to root my Android to access the Magisk or Xposed. But I decided to keep my Pixel 2 as long as possible. Part of the reason is that I am still waiting Google to roll out the hotfix for some minor but annoying bug like bluetooth headset compatibility problem. Another reason is I think I can live with some non-root required customization app like Custom Navigation Bar or Shortcutter now.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
Considering that the daily SoT I get with this device is more than what I need:

I might end up opening the bootloader in the future to put a more aggressive performance kernel that kills more battery.

But for now I'll stay stock. Last two Nexus I've owned were rooted to have Pixel Launcher with Now Card left menu.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PhoenixAG:
I use mine stock with Nova launcher. I have rooted and flashed all my phones in the past but with this one, I don't feel the need to. It's really fast and the battery is great.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
My Pixel 1 is unlocked but I ended up running stock towards the end of my use. Updates weren't that hard when I was unlocked, just a lot of steps to follow (download OTA, flash in TWRP, immediately flash TWRP, flash root, flash any mods, reboot).

My Pixel 2 is Verizon so I don't really have a choice about root now. I hope I can live with it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kinfam:
I'm running unlocked and rooted only because I find I can typically get better battery life using custom kernels (using flash kernel right now, standby battery drain much improved), as well as for adblocking and viper4android (whenever it gets fixed for enforcing kernels, works on permissive however).

I doubt I will ever want/need to flash a custom rom on this phone though.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] pete2bec2:
I just switched to Pixel 2 from years of HTC phones, which have similar smoothness, but the only way to get super-quick updates with HTC, even the developers' edition, is with custom ROMs. Now that I have the Pixel 2, I'll try to keep it stock for as long as I can.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] harborxperia:
PIXEL 2 is good as is. I usually root for increased battery and volume, but this phone is good as is. Also found Xperia keyboard which I love. In fact the pixel 2 acts rooted and experimental even though it is released. Camera comes and goes sometimes quick pictures, other times black screen and fault. Hopefully an update or two will resolve issues.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] manigault:
Mine is stock also but this would be why I root (leaning heavily towards not rooting though).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
The stock set up and kernel on this phone is giving me insane battery life. I haven't had any lag. I'd say the pixel 1 was just as smooth I don't think the pixel 2 is any smoother although the battery is much better but then again I used nougat with pixel 1
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] angied:
So dns66 is working well on Oreo? Any problems?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] foosion:
The only problem I've had is that it won't start automatically on boot.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
Adguard works pretty well. I think it works better than DNS66 myself. Adguard on the computer sucks though. Slows down the computer and not always consistent.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] angied:
I want something to block ads in apps, too, but I doubt that's possible without rooting. I'd prefer not to root this phone

Thanks for the info!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] razrlover:
Are you using Magisk for Viper or fishing in TWRP?

NO magisk modules are working for me. 14.5 latest
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kinfam:
I'm not currently using V4A, but I had it working on Snoke's Permissive kernel, or by toggling an Enforcing kernel to Permissive either via V4A developer options or by a SELinux toggle program.

Some modules are failing to install due to the changes made to Magisk itself with 14.5. For instance, the V4A 14+ module installs but Ahrion's V4A no longer does. Universal Deep Buffer Remover (which I need for V4A to work correctly) is also broken.

So if you want a working V4A + Universal Deep Buffer Removal setup I recommend using Snoke's permissive and/or toggle an Enforcing kernel and 14.4.2 Magisk, or just wait to see if they fix the modules for current 14.5.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] razrlover:
Awesome thanks for the info! Will give a older version a try!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Lordcolus:
I think the latest 0.5.9 version fixed this problem. At least it works very well on my Pixel 2.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JayBlack_686:
This is an interesting topic. I've only rooted for the sake of Titanium Backup. When I got the Pixel 2, there was some option to restore from your previous phone. So my question is this: does Android nowadays provide some kind of functionality that makes Ti Backup unnecessary? It looked like if you got another Pixel phone, you could transfer your setup to a new phone, but I'm thinking more about the situation where you end up having to wipe your phone and then want to restore. Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
Google backup is far better than what it used to be (which was nothing > terrible > somewhat usable). It allows a non-rooted user to re-install apps that they had in a previous build and it even pulls down some system settings, like wifi. It didn't pull app data and some of the system backups that I'm used to with Ti.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JayBlack_686:
Thanks for the insight. OK, sounds like root and Ti Backup is still the way to go. I do wonder why Google doesn't have their own version of this. Seems like it would have happened by now.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
It also pulls some apps settings sometimes. Not just system settings

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] hueythecat:
I've Magisk patched the boot loader, I assume I can reflash the stock bootloader when I need to update...

Also the Wifi sleep option has been removed from the phone setting which really bugs me. (Google has set to always on now.)

This can be changed by:

->adb shell settings put global wifi_sleep_policy 0

Options:

Keep WiFi on during sleep: Always = 2 (default setting)

Keep WiFi on during sleep: Only When Plugged In = 1

Keep WiFi on during sleep: Never = 0
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
I don't use Titanium Backup anymore for the back up from a new phone. Some things if you really need a carbon copy it comes in handy with root, like a game or whatever, but for me the Google back up works good enough. Just start up the phone. Turn on the wifi and back up from old device. Went to the gym, came back later on. Good to go.

I have android pay set up and Netflix works. Does not work with root unless you use Magisk which at this point, then method for getting it to work changes every 5 minutes .

Has anyone gotten their stock Pixel 2 to connect to a car radio's Bluetooth media? I haven't seen much written about it from Google recently. It connects to the car, and even opens the media window, but it doesn't see a device.

I haven't made any modifications to the phone.. I didn't even copy over anything from my Nexus 5.

(My phone still seems way too slow for a brand new phone, but that's another issue)

Thanks.

Not sure if you'd call it "stock" if it's rooted, but yeah - mine works with all the BT devices that I have, including car stereo. I'm rooted, but using the stock image from November.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] razrlover:
My connects automatically 98% of the time.

With my car you pair your phone for phone first, then pair for media, then if you want media to play you have to select it as a audio source, then it will play.

It doesn't work as seemless as my S8 did but only after good every now and again. What type of car audio?

I actually stayed stock (w/ root and maybe kernel) for a lonnnnng time in the Nexus days. My first aftermarket ROM was flashed on 1st gen pixel.

Now even though I loved Pure Nexus for the extra settings and customization, I can get by without a ROM, but I have to have root. A gesture app I use daily needs root, and I need the gesture.

It's not like you can get ROM any time soon for Pixel 2 anyway =(
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] harborxperia:
I agree. I use Nova and I used to root for volume and other things, but not needed on this unit and battery is great. Just wish they worked out the camera issues.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
I made only one MOD to the stock Pixel, I changed the NavBar from Normal to Compact. But luckily you don't need to root the phone for this. (In an old Oreo or Nougat Android DP this was possible trough the system UI tuner, now with adb and one app that can be uninstalled after the mod).

In the 6P this was a must for one handing. In the Pixel 2 is welcome to reach slightly better the Back NavBar button. And also the Overview button.

This is 2017, Google should give a choice, and no I do not want a dumb looking icon as my battery. It tells me very little about actual battery life.That goes double for the orientation of the recent and back buttons.

Okay so from first :

1. You say that when you tried to go in Recovery mode it comes blue screen with Downloading text written on screen .

So instead of Recovery mode you went in Downloading mode , so that problem is wrong key combination .

Right way to enter in Recovery mode is

I installed the update with no problems with my phone afterwards..

If someone has info on this update I appreciate it.

I can say this is not the oreo update are waiting for.

Thank you,

THIS METHOD IS WORKING PROPERLY , AND ANYBODY WHO CLAIM ITS NOT WORKING MAY BE NOT DOING IT CORRECTLY OR HAVE A OTHER ROM ISSUE

ITS JUST A FIX , AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE , TAKE NANDROID BACKUP FIRST, DONT TAKE RISK.

Install rom in which your VOLTE WORKS, TAKE BACKUP OF MODEM , EFS, FIRMWARE (BOTH) PARTITIONS

Remember to backup 7.0 rom only ,

FLASH

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2_u-Yt4rupyQXJHazJESm9HZlE/view

Then reboot your device, If you see VOLTE (HD) working,

Try to make a call, if call connects and there is no sound.

Just flash the MODEM and EFS partition from the backup you took

YOUR VOLTE WORK FOR SURE...
