First time flash from N6F27M, all went OK but I can't type in password to connect to wifi, no keypad to enter wifi pw. looks like there is no keypad installed as messaging is also the same issue, no keypad to type.

help !!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
No one else has reported this issue, so it's likely you did something unusual. What exactly did you flash, and which version of TWRP?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ExpertMC:
Hello, I recently had my device experience a decryption unsuccessful error that is only solved with a data format which will decrypt. I know of the bug on 15.1 that breaks encryption or makes it unable to decrypt in twrp. What does this mean? I want to have my device encrypted, how can I do it correctly on 15.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Unfortunately you need to format and encrypt it with 14.1 as TWRP can't decrypt partitions encrypted with 15.1.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] niilartey1:
Used TWRP 3.2.3-0

Wipe cache/dalvik

Flash Lineage 15.1 -20180911

Flash MindTheGapps 8.1.0-arm

Reboot.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
You must clean flash when changing roms. Wipe data - or if you want to be extra thorough, format data, but then you lose all your files.

If MindTheGapps still won't work, try OpenGapps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] niilartey1:
I have re-flashed using TWRP 3.2.1.0 as stated in the notes and issue resolved thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Hammerfest:
I cant reply on XDA... only quick reply works... XDA fix your site!

Sorry, that annoyance over!

Its either this release, last release, or Google Messages...

I cant reply to text's, my reply's sit forever at sending before failing, then no matter how many times i retry it still fails...

There wasnt a Google messages update within the last week and my flashing process is as follows:

wipe cache/system/cache2, reboot, flash rom, flash opengapps micro, reboot, wait 10min, then use phone

but something in the last 2 weeks has caused SMS issues and I just wanted to post here to see if anyone else has noticed this issue as well (before I have to reflash to get stock messaging app back in, i do delete that with TWRP)

Been using my Nexus 6 on nightly's like this since the EoU (end of updates) from google last year.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Since last couple of builds, screenshot from power menu isn't working anymore for me. It works, however, with power button + vol down.

Anybody else experiencing the same?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Treatcon:
Just tried and works fine from power menu. 9/11/2018 build.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Thanks for the heads-up, I cleaned cache & dalvik and all is fine now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tamjan:
Yeah, I have this as well on the build from 14th of August - but my screen is just black then, without a notification bar. Sometimes the phone reboots after such an episode.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
Went back to 28/8/2018 build. The snappiness is back. Lag gone.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
Elektroschmock, please, can't you bring back the old speed to the N6? For me it's no fun atm to use my phone since it became sooo slow... You mentioned it used a lot of battery if I remember it correctly which for me was not noticeable.

I discovered recently that even my old N4 (with only a few apps installed though) which I keep in the kitchen drawer as a backup device feels much faster than the N6.

The apps I use that feel significantly slower than before:

Telegram/WhatsApp

Spotify

PlayStore

Chrome

Maps

Kicker

Osmand

Youtube

(Only to mention a few)

Please, with all respect to your work to keep the N6 alive: This is no offense at all, it's just a wish from a user who loves its N6 :fingers-crossed: :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
I've seen several complaints about how slow the n6 is with recent lnos builds. So I just wanted to get some representation for the other view: mine is just fine, no lagging on any apps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I haven't seen any lag on my main shamu, but my development shamu does see some minor lag. I have no idea why they behave differently as the have the exact same setup.

What I did for now is to increase the fling boost by 200 MHz.

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_device_moto_shamu/+/229306/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] everdium:
Elektroschmock, first of all, thanks for all your hard work. I've been using LOS since Google abandoned the N6 and every build has been stable and worked fine.

My N6 feels slower too with the latest builds. It just takes a lot more time for the phone to react when you touch the screen.

Input boost is disabled in the latest builds and it is not possible anymore to enable it with a kernel manager or manually in /sys/module.

So I tried this with the latest 20180911 build: flashed a custom kernel (v 1.8.1) on top of it and enabled input boost. Set boost duration to 3000 ms, as I always did with previos LOS builds.

Result: the phone felt very fast again. It felt even faster when CPU hot plugging was disabled. I still get around 4 hours SOT with these settings, so more battery saving is really not necessary for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Yeah I know that some of you aren't happy with the current state of the performance.

But there won't be a single setting which optimizes performance and battery consumption at the same time.

I am thinking about rewriting the 'bias performance' profile. Right now it is locking the min freq of the cpus to 1.1 GHz.

Perhaps I'll drop that and make it the same as the balanced profile but with stronger boosts.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] everdium:
I'm still happy with LOS.

Battery consumption is not an issue here. Like I said, I still get about 4 hours SOT with a relatively long input boost and no CPU not plugging. Different people use their phones in different ways.

It would be no problem at all for me if input boost was disabled by default (as it is now), as long as it is possible to enable it again. That is not possible in the latest builds.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Like you said, battery consumption is not an issue for YOU. :D Other users prefer a more battery friendly setup.

Thats why I try to have some profiles for different use cases.

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_device_moto_shamu/+/229394/

I might re-enable input boost at a later point, but in my test it has always been a bad idea especially with longer boost times.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duttyend:
Dear Elektroschmock,

We all appreciate your hard work to keep optimizing our dear Shamu.

Maybe you could have a look at the I/O stuff to delete the lags people mention without having to enable dumb default CPU boost duration or frequency.

I did some preliminary tests and reported the results here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76465322&postcount=614
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
just finished downloading, installing, and rebooting the 20180918 build. looks good so far

... half a day later, still looking good
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Georg-XDA:
This version (2018-09-18) is better:

- no lag

- display of bluetooth power consumption makes more sense now :laugh:

:good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Thanks for doing some tests an reminding me.

I had a brief look at it, when you first posted it, but I was dealing with other problems at that time.

In the meantime I totally forgot to get back to it.

I made a test build which looks very promising. Maybe I'll merge the changes for the next build on tuesday next week an let the users decide if it's good or bad. ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ReedN:
Battery percentages are working correctly for me for the first time. Excellent!

Thanks for all your work, it's greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ulibube:
Airplane mode does not appear to disable the cellular radio for me; it must have been the case for a while, I don't know how far back. I am able to receive text messages and calls with airplane mode on, but I can't make a call or send a text; "Mobile network" is greyed out in settings, so the OS seems to think that the radio is off. I updated the radio to 51R (non-Verizon) some time ago, did that screw it up? Others seeing this with 51R or 45? I am on Project Fi. This also explains increased battery usage that I was seeing in airplane mode.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
This is crazy. I just tried it out. I can't receive an SMS during flight mode. I also have -51R modem/radio.

(I don't have Project Fi)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
Nor do I - tested it as well (modem/radio is baseband, right? I'm on 45R).

[MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION]: Lag is much better now! Not completely gone but nearly. Good job!

As mentioned earlier my phone is rooted using Magisk. Since a few updates I have to reflash Magisk after a LOS update. Can someone confirm this?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] velishka:
Same thing here! I wonder what happened. This thing was broken even in the official build.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Georg-XDA:
Neither T-Mobile nor Vodafone is supporting the shamu device for VOLTE or wifi call in Germany - isn't it?

I am confused, because with using a sim card of Vodafone Germany:

Option for VOLTE (extented LTE Mode) is displayed and enabled?

(Nevertheless when starting a call LTE becomes disabled)

No wifi call option is offered.

With T-Mobile Germany sim card (contract with VOLTE/wifi enabled):

no Volte and no wifi option is offered on shamu device - as expected.

So far - even with Vodafone sim card and VOLTE option in lineageos enabled I have no further malfunctions with handling of in- and outcoming voice calls.

Only a problem of displaying this option?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] McMannes:
Sometimes trebuchet is always stopping. And i have to restart the phone.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Not quite a proper bug report.

Delete trebuchet's data and you should be fine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ReedN:
I'll also mention that the battery life just got a lot better. I get a rough estimate of consumption/hour by dividing the Battery Life Remaining % by the estimated hours remaining. I used to get 2.5%/hour, now I'm getting ~1.7%/hour, a noticeable improvement!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] McMannes:
Thanks for your answer. I am trying.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] watoan:
Just a feature request...is it possible to add auto face unlock (after face unlock success, skip swipe up action and directly go to home screen) for lineageos like the feature in nitrogenos?

I found this is very useful feature for those ppl using face unlock.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
Yes I confirm with Magisk 17.1, go back to Magisk 16.0 and it will be fine again
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
I'm on 17.1 and never had this issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
actually there is now 17.2 of magisk which was released yesterday. .try it out and see if it resolves issues that were happening with 17.1.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] OldUncle:
After recent update: taken photo shows upside down.

Anybody else experienced anything similar?

EDIT: Screen Auto rotate is also gone, after the update.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
In fact, now magisk is lost after every update, even with magisk 16.0 so it could be related to the latest version of twrp (3.2.3)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ulibube:
Thanks to those who tried it out. I've played with it some more and found that the way it happens (for me at least) is to restart the phone with Airplane mode already on before the restart; once the phone comes back up the cellular radio is enabled — I can receive SMS from another phone. (But can't send SMS because OS thinks radio is off.) I can repro the issue reliably this way. Toggling airplane mode off and back on disables the cellular radio.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Heads-up - Upcoming changes

Just a heads-up for tomorrow's build.

I reworked the 'Balanced' and the 'Quick' profiles.

So if you suffer from lag or bad performance you might reconsider your profile choice.

Builddate: 2018.09.25

Changes:

[change] Updated power profiles:

- Balanced => 2 - 4 cores online

=> 200 ms @ 1,2 GHz interactive boost

=> 1500 ms @ 1,3 GHz fling boost

- Quick => 3 - 4 cores online

=> 500 ms @ 1,5 GHz interactive boost

=> 1500 ms @ 1,5 GHz fling boost

[change] Changed default scheduler to noop to improve throughput
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
Alright - I can't wait to test this out :good:

Thanks for your replies. So I guess I will go with this problem. Maybe one day it will be gone after a little magic... ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
curiously, the most recent nightly on the lnos download site is now the 20171208 build
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
tl;dr: lost a database, restored from a backup, last successful backup was last December, check your backups.Redis’s dump.rdb corrupted itself during a reboot last night, we restored from a backup from last december. It will take a few hours to rescan our mirror and some mirrors will not be available until they’re manually readded.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
thanks for the info! that's pretty funny, in a sad way. but now it looks like it's all back to normal, at least for shamu, with 20180918 being the latest. i'm looking forward to today's nightly
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Hammerfest:
normally up by this time, someone might need to manually kick it
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
i imagine everything is running behind thanks to the database crash earlier today :(

I am still getting dropped calls on Verizon when another caller is calling me when I am on the phone and try to put on hold.

running the latest build as well today sept 26.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] McMannes:
Last update is so nice. The phone usage is pretty fluent.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] velishka:
can we all appreciate that bluetooth drain is gone and battery stats are working ! awesome !
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
The drain has always been a myth! :p

It was just a wrong calculation which was fixed with:

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_device_moto_shamu/+/227947/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
You're the best.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Great update noticable improvement !
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
Without wanting to clog the thread with "me too" comments :) I also can see a distinct difference in battery life, though it's more an impression rather than hard statistics. Last week by this time of the day on a "conservative" setting I would have been down to around 60%. Today on "balanced" I'm on 86%. Even if my impression is faulty there is still a very definite improvement, to the point that I'm going to delay fitting the new battery I bought a few weeks ago.

Really great job, Elektroschmock. Thank you.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] brandonb0013:
I dirty flashed to the latest, worked just fine. When I try to install the latest elemental x kernel it locks up on the Google screen upon boot. Are there any known issues with elemental and the latest LOS? Are there other reliable kernels? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
Elemental X and Franco Kernel don't work with LineageOS 15.

Popcorn Kernel work excelent.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] brandonb0013:
I'm not calling you a liar... But I was using elemental x on one the last July update. Anywho, I'll try popcorn. Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
The last posts in the Elemental X topic looked like the kernel was incompatible and that is not going to change.

Where did you get the latest version of the kernel from, the app?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Free4ever2:
Really liking this last update. Usually I flash Popcorn kernel after every update, but this time I'm sticking to stock with the Quick profile.

Android auto not working

I'm having trouble getting android auto to work. It just gives an error saying Google play services doesn't seem to be working right now.

I tried someone else's solution of clearing data for 'contacts storage', but it didn't work. I tried clean flashing twice already, and still has the same problem.

Anyone have any other ideas? Screenshot attached.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mithic:
Hi,i'am using latest build 26/9 (performance Quick) and i have had 4-5 FC when battery arrived at 22-23%!!!

While with previous build 18/6 battery -and phone phone usage - was great even at 5-8%!!

Usually i charge the phone at 10-15% and everything was fine.

Anyway thanks to all devs for supporting our lovely device till now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] everdium:
Same here, the 20180926 nightly is a big improvement, much faster than before.

Thanks a lot Elektroschmock.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Event_Horizon:
Finally got a string.. I really impressed by Moto nexus 6, battery didn't showing any issue till 18/6... Then the flash I did after that day... I started facing the same issue... It feels like some has taken away the soul from my device.. it's so annoying that I have to look for a newer one... I tried flashing other version of LOS.. even tried android 9 from 2 different developer, but nothing works out... Though I'm having the latest Android.. but battery issue still sux... It's crashes at any level beyond 50%.. sometime works till 15-10%... But it's not like earlier... Electrosmochk dear you really have to correct this... Missing my good days with Shamu...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
Your batteries may be dying slowly. There have been a lot of changes lately that have affected CPU handling.

My mobile phone crashes regularly, unless I deactivate that in idle individual cores are turned off.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AmirHRC:
New Build is up ,Downloading now...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
installed the 20181002 zip. seems to be working quite well so far
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
You're speaking in riddles. I have no idea how iI could fix your semidead battery. Only thing I could do is heavy limiting all frequencies, but with this I'll be crippling the devices of 95 % of my users.

Replace your battery or use the 'powersave' Profile.

What do you disable?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Event_Horizon:
Until June 18 2018, Mobile battery was good, I'm not saying it was lasting long, but atleast it goes down till it reaches 0, but after that just after flashing new build it started force closing the system when it reaches below 40%... Not at a particular battery level, but anytime while am using the phone and battery is below 40%.. the same thing I observe in the same day.. after flashing the new build.... How could be it battery issue, within a day it was working fine and in same day battery turn semi dead... Dear I feel there is something wrong with battery charging log... It no more showing fast charging etc... Not blaming you.. just want a way out.. I'm damn sure battery is good not dead yet...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
Obviously a dying battery. Obviously. Why are you complaining about the ROM? My N6 is well over 3 years old, still on the original battery, and works absolutely fine. Just get a new battery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ajaynsurana:
Guys, need your kind help. I am on latest weeklies and rooted with SU. One of my banking apps is not running as it's detecting the root. Is it possible to hide the root by some way?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
Try iSu:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/isu-simple-app-to-deactivate-activate-t3478348/page111

Or maybe it's enough to disable root in developer settings.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
One word... Magisk
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ajaynsurana:
Its already disabled in developer setting. Will try the app which u suggested. Thanks for your response.

I know about Magisk but OP I presume always suggest for SU so don't want to go via Magisk route. Thanks for your response.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nilesh0205:
I am not able to update to Magisk 17.x, whenever I update it just wouldn't boot.. So I think it is not working for everyone atm.

And on 16.x it is not being recognized by google pay or other apps.

Thanks,

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
What do you mean with the system is force closing? The system can't force close! Do you mean a reboot?

The only thing wrong is your dead battery...get over it.

The stock ROM disables 2 cores below 40 % battery to prevent crashes due to current spikes a semi dead battery can't deliver anymore.

While this ensures the function on bad batteries it also cripples performance.

I disabled it to have proper performance.

So that leaves you with some choices:

- Get a new battery

- Use power save profile

- go back to stock

- compile your own ROM with the battery current limiter reenabled
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lothsahn:
I'm having two problems with this ROM, and wondering if anyone else is seeing the same:

1) The device gets slow after a while. Rebooting the phone restores performance. Note: I am running with Encryption on.

2) The camera will randomly stop working and a reboot will fix it. I'm seeing this on both of my devices.

Note: The lag is really weird. It'll be a 5 second delay to open an app, or switch screens, or go home, and everything will be frustratingly slow. Then, after a bit, everything will run properly like there's no problem at all. It happens whether the phone is hot or cold.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MaxPower742:
Yes, every day.

Yeah and also with mine it gets super slow at lower battery levels, even though I was pretty sure this rom wasn't supposed to do that. I'm talking like ~50%. I have to keep it plugged in almost all the time otherwise the performance gets even worse than usual.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] heiNey:
Nobody else is having this problem?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] OldUncle:
I confirm both of problems mentioned here.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] WhammyDroid:
I agree w/ #1. I have this problem on a daily basis.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
Sorry. I need to take hotplug off. If all cores are online, my device ist running stable. Otherwise ist crashes randomly. Also with charger.
