volume fluctuation in youtube / YT vanced apps

Since two days I noticed volume differentiation in Youtube & Youtube vanced apps. Any video starts at a low volume. If I slide it / advance it by a few seconds the volume becomes louder. I did not notice this in MX player app, where volume always stays low even at the maximum.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
You are currently using 15.1? Why not 16.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
I'm on Verizon, and apparently 16 doesn't play well with that
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Oh ok.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] amaruk27:
Actually it works OK on Verizon. IMS is broken which means no wifi calling but voice and data work fine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] leo5111:
is this more stable then 15.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Bigb12:
This is why I haven't switched from 15.1. Can you use volte for HD calling? Do you prefer it over 15.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
VOLTE will not work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Do you want to imply that 15.1 is not stable? I am not aware of any crashes.

But no 16.0 uses the same Kernel as 15.1

No, as it needs IMS

Ofc. it won't work as it depends on IMS and proprietary libs and apps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Lol are you sure you ok? 15.1 is extremely stable and so is this . I'm currently using 15.1 as my daily driver .
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] leo5111:
overall its Stable but it stutters now and then

Bluetooth issue

What about the messed up bluetooth driver? Will it be fixed? See here.

It is very important to have the option of playing system signals and notifications through the phone's speakers when the phone is paired to some BT device.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] peekie:
All seems quiet on the updates , was nightlys now nothing , least everything runs well on 16.1 , its good to have the nexus 6 up to date
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] David B.:
Not in my experience with it. Inbound calls do not ring. I do not really care about IMS not working, but if I cannot receive calls, then it's pretty much out of the picture for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
latest 16 23/5 update with 25/5 gapp and now the android auto app is gone. there is no open button in playstore and only uninstall updates option. no icon in app drawer and installing the latest version from apkmirror doesnt help either.

anyone sen anything like this?

[MENTION=4201748]amaruk27[/MENTION]

Not that I use Verizon myself, but googling tells me that they are in the process of closing down their 3G CDMA net. The official end date is 31 December 2019, but it's likely that they are already converting some masts to 4G only.

Without IMS/VoLTE voice calls must drop down to 3G. So it should work, but only if you still got 3G coverage.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] David B.:
I assume the long-standing encryption bug is still present?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I didn't test it, but usually bugs don't get fixed magically and TWRP for shamu is unmaintained
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
I installed 3.3.1-0, and the phone works just fine, but I don't know if the encryption bug is there or not, since I'm still on 15.1
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dwardo:
Yes still there
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gpatm:
May I ask when to use logcat to capture the camera bug? I assume that after a restart and failed attempt to open the camera app would be the best.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
If I encrypt my nexus 6 now, will I be able to update as long as they are available?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
Yes, but until twrp updates to support new encryption, updates will be more difficult. You will have to do them manually.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
Thanks. Do you mean that I can not update from the updater app and I have to download the update externally and install via TWRP?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
Yes, you will have to use computer or USB OTG to update. Not sure of how that will work since I have not encrypted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Actually using the updater app should work even if you are encrypted.

lineage-16.0-20190603-nightly-shamu-signed

Camera is broken on lineage-16.0-20190603-nightly-shamu-signed.zip because of a removed firmware package which is still needed.

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_moto_shamu/+/246565

We'll have it fixed on tommorow's build.

[MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] do you know anything about video2 kernel wakelock? i got 2 battery drain 'event' because of it since yesterday, using build 0602
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
After I discovered the camera does not work any more, I re-installed the nightly 20190602, but that did not work either: after starting, the system complained that Google Play Store wouldn't want to start. I tried several times to downgrade, including wiping system and cache, but it did not work. The only way to make my N6 work again, was to re-install a full backup I had made just yesterday. (Lucky me!). I've lost a few text messages, but that's all.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I guess in this case downgrading is not possible, because of a database upgrade needed for the new circle battery style. :(

So the best option is to wait for the next build, or copy the camera firmware manualy to the right directory.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
No I haven't seen anything unusual related to video2 wakelock. On my devices it doesn't even show up.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] painx:
Can be possible to hide GPS/location icon from the status bar?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
This is most likely the result of a google update but having the long press or double tap action on home / recents set to "search assistant" no longer does anything. It should bring up Google Assistant.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
Do you have Google set as the assist in default apps?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
Ah! That fixed it. Thanks.

I could've sworn I had that set before. Oh well, good now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
No it's not possible.

I guess it's for security reasons. you don't want any app using your location without your knowledge.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Test kernel

If anyone wants to test a kernel with backported binder from linux 3.18 here you go:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AmirHRC:
after flash the build date of the kernel and the name doesn't changed is this normal ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I don't know what you mean with name, but the I have built the kernel on 4th june so if your build is from that date it doesn't change.

But I wonder if this is relevant at all.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Again, there seems to be some bug in the latest nightly (lineage-16.0-20190606): after installing and restarting the system, Play Store won't start. I tried both ways of installation: automatic (OTA) installation, as well as manual installation (wiping /system and /cache, installing downloaded package), but neither method worked. :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I guess you messed up your system when you tried to downgrade which is not possible. You might want to delete playstore's data which might help.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
I did not really downgrade my phone. After the unsuccessful installation of nightly from July, 3rd (the one with the camera issue), and the even more unsuccessful try to solve the problem by re-installing an older nightly, I finally gave up and I restored a previously made full back up, and my N 6 was happily running again, using the nightly July, 2nd, the same version as before the faulty update from July, 3rd.

The next thing I did was to install the nightly from July, 4th via OTA. (Settings -> Update). That update went smoothly and the phone worked well and without noticeable issues. (At least not noticeable to me...).

Then, today, I tried to update to the nightly July, 6th, and that's where Play Store refuses to start. I'm not an expert, but I don't see how this issue could be related to what has happened two days before.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
June, not July...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Can someone tell me what is going on here? I made the mistake of encrypting when the recent TWRP 3.3 builds came out to test. Now I can't wipe the encryption through fastboot commands, fastboot erase userdate. When I reboot into TWRP it asks for the password. But then I'm able to wipe data in TWRP. Reboot to TWRP, it asks for no password but I can't see the internal storage through file manager or install.

This whole encryption, TWRP, Nexus 6 is a mess and seems to have gotten worse. I use to be able to use fastboot commands to wipe the device.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Here's what is interesting. I sideloaded LOS. Rebooted and it didn't ask for any encryption password, didn't show any encryption. Rebooted into TWRP, no encryption password. Rebooted into Bootloader, wiped the device again. Reboot into TWRP, it asks for an encryption password. What the heck.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Yes, of course. Sometimes I am totally ahead of my own time... I still need to get my TARDIS fixed...

But I figured out what was wrong: it was the GPS! After rebooting my phone, I noticed that Chronos was showing weather information for a place far, far away from my place. So I started Osmand, and according to that I was having a swim somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. After about half a minute my position on the map was corrected, and Chronos was also showing the right weather information. And from that moment on, the camera app also did not crash any more!

It looks like the missing GPS information made the camera crash.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
thanks for the bring up of lineage 16. for nexus 6.i figured i would be safe i reverted back to twrp 3.2.1 for our nexus 6.i did the format of data, then i did the sideload of rom and open gapps stock.everything went smoothly and i got through it all .i dont know why but pixel launcher is crashing on my two nexus 6 devices as well. remembering that i had this issue on one plus 6t, just went to my one plus six t thread on XDA for pixel launcher and remember that ther was a modded pixel launcher done by xda, and i just installed that and everything is now working fine with my two nexus 6 devices and lineage 16. is rock solid on my two nexus 6 devices.thanks for this one .
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mahir555:
Waiting for a video review :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pr0ndigy:
Here's the steps i did to upgrade to 16.0 without wiping or losing data.

Download the following to the phone

1. LineageOS ROM (https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/shamu/20190301/lineage-16.0-20190301-nightly-shamu-signed.zip)

2. MindTheGapps 9.0 ARM (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397894326)

3. Magisk 18.1 ZIP (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v18.1/Magisk-v18.1.zip)

4. Magsik Manager 7.0 APK (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.0.0/MagiskManager-v7.0.0.apk)

Reboot the phone into TWRP

Select: Wipe

Select: Advanced Wipe

Check the boxes for: Dalvik, System, Cache

Swipe to Wipe

Press Home button

Select: Reboot

Select: Recovery

Select: Install

Select: Lineage 16.0.zip

Select: Add more Zips > Mind The Gapps 9.0.zip

Select: Add more Zips > Magisk 18.1.zip

Swipe to Flash

After install finishes, Reboot into System

I let my phone sit for ~5mins

Then i went through the "Finish Setup" that popped up.

Removed all my Paired Bluetooth Devices

Install Magisk Manager 7.0 APK

Everything is working for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
Then you were not encrypted before. Many issues are because people were encrypted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] glockman4519:
As soon as I can get it to install and run for me. Having some slight issues with rebooting. I'm going try [MENTION=6130713]pr0ndigy[/MENTION] way... Hopefully that works for me. If it does, I'll have the review out in a couple days at the most.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] timawesomeness:
I'm also experiencing encryption issues. Phone boots, I type in my PIN, and it gives me the "The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt" error. Data isn't corrupt, I can reflash 15.1 and it decrypts fine, and it decrypts fine in TWRP. I'm not going to format like other users have been doing, that's utterly unacceptable for an official build considered "ready" by Lineage. Hopefully a later build will provide the smooth update promised by the Lineage blog. The lack of an official response regarding this is also odd, since most Nexus 6s are encrypted.

Also,

Shouldn't forceencrypt be enabled per the Lineage device support requirements (since the Nexus 6 shipped encrypted), unless there's a specific reason for it not to be?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Bkacjios:
I was excited, but now that I've used P for a day, it honestly feels like a step backwards, and not because of Lineage, but more because of Google. This new multitasking view is awful to use one handed, which I used to do a lot. You can only put the phone into silence mode by physically touching the screen, rather than pressing volume down again when the volume was on the lowest setting like you could in O

Is 15 support going to be dropped soon? I'm actually considering going back.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah, 15.1 is still officially supported on a weekly basis and also maintained by elektoschmok... If "P" doesn't fit your personal preferences you can go back to Oreo! No problem...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Bkacjios:
Okay, sweet. Good to know. I remember 14 was killed pretty quickly, glad that's not the case again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sam Nakamura:
This is what battery life looks like on LineageOS 16 (however new battery, Wi-Fi only and first run after upgrading)! Overall it's fluid and smooth experience, my newer devices aren't significantly better... astonishingly!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] OldSnake68:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] amaruk27:
Does anyone know if opengapps work with 16? I've used them with 15.1 with no problem, but when you go to the opengapps website and click on arm64 9.0 there is a pop up message:

"9.0 requires a patched ROM for proper WebView support"
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Najeeb3344:
Click on arm only & 9.0
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] amroj:
Maybe somebody should write clear upgrade instructions somewhere. e.g. about the "fastboot format".
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] amaruk27:
You get the same message with arm (though I'm not sure why I thought the N6 was a 64 bit device o.0)

I guess the real question is whether LOS16 is a "patched ROM" and how important is that?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bb0210:

Does anyone face issues with Google assistant?

I cant get it to work (I even installed it seperately through play store)

Ok google works but it only opens search and not Google assistant.

Also I am using trebuchet launcher, as Pixel launcher was unstable in 16.0. Is it stable now?

Is it the usage of trebuchet having issues with Google assistant?

Thanks,
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nilesh0205:
Apart from screenshots getting cropped do you get any issues? I heard that there is issue with the history as well (Apps not showing completely in history). If no, I will also give it a try to save me some battery :)

On Battery note: - Does anyone recommend any battery on Amazon.in or flipkart? Not sure which one are good, as there are are none to very less reviews.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
I had to change my language to English United States (From English Canada) in order for the new Assistant to come up. Not sure if that's your issue?

I had this problem a couple of days ago where swipe left-to-right (Google discover) was always empty page. I even rebooted a couple of times. Good thing new tab on Chrome was working for the stories related to me. Anyway, problem went away the next day.

Just thinking it was a Google issue from the mothership.

It was set to None, but still after changing to Google, Assistant was not working.

Thanks

Issue with me was trebuchet I think, I changed the launcher to Pixel launcher and Google assistant started working. I will let you know if Pixel launcher misbehaves again. I had to use Trebuchet in past because Pixel launcher was very unstable for me and I never reverted back to it.

Thanks

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JaimeZX:
So it no longer appears as its own line item in https://download.lineageos.org/shamu/changes/ ???

That's where "Changelog" in the Updater tool points; that's where I'm used to looking...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] David B.:
Can you get all the security updates from the future for us please? ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Depends on how it was merged. In this case not.

That's why I said you need to look harder.

There are seven commits saying Merge tag 'android-9.0.0_r40' into staging/lineage-16.0_merge-android-9.0.0_r40 I guess it's quite obvious what it is.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JaimeZX:
I don't know how the above is "obvious" that it includes the monthly security update. Especially since it's on a webpage other than the one pointed-to by the actual updater tool changelog. Plenty of people do a monthly update when the security is updated, I don't know what fraction of them are aware of an alternate changelog.[IMG="dunno"]https://offtopic.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/ot/dunno.gif[/IMG]

For my own edification though, is there an obvious way to know the above Merge tag includes the security?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
If you click on any change in the official changelog you are redirected to github (the website I linked you). It's no alternative changelog it's the place where our code is stored.

No there is no other way beside to really read the log by clicking on each commit.

But usually a merged tag is a security update... thats why I guessed it's obvious. ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JaimeZX:
Thanks! I guess I never noticed line-items were clickable. When I went to check, suddenly now there's "bump security to 06...." which I SWEAR wasn't there before... anyway. :)

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
which pixel launcher are people using on the rom. As i had issues with pixel launcher crashing and forcing closing on me, i am just using nova.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] thetallguy:
I am using Lawnchair. I notice that it has to restart itself sometimes, when hitting the home button so I suppose it is crashing too. But it is not showing the "app is crashing" dialogue so it is not too annoying.

I used to use Nexus Launcher and it was very reliable but it was abandoned by Google and may not be available any more.

Nova has a good reputation.

Why not use Trebuchet? I am using on my other phone and it has enough features for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
It's not crashing - it's just the out of memory manager kicking Lawnchair out of RAM to free some RAM for currently used apps.
