So... yeah, bluetooth in pixel pro is completely and utterly useless. I mean it can probably work if you only have one pair of headphones, but if you have more devices you use daily you will get problems. And lots of reboots.

So first scenario - You listen on your headphones, get in your car. It switches beautifully. Well it does take about a minute, while on my OnePlus 6t it was a matter of seconds, but at least it works. Not so much with phone calls. It will just lose the audio completely and you will have to switch back to speaker and then back to whatever device you want to listen on to get it back. Which may or may not work. Reboot.

Also, my phone, whatsapp, messenger and viber calls will randomly lose audio after about 2 - 3 minutes on BT. switch back to speaker and perhaps you will be able to reconnect to your headphones. Perhaps not. Reboot.

Today I lost audio completely after switching to my car. It was working fine at work, then I went to the car park, got in the car, wanted to listen to my book, no sound. Spotify? No sound. OK, connected my headphones. No sound. Connected android auto. Yay, we have sound. Got out of the car, wanted to listen on my headphones (oneplus btw), no joy. Reboot.

If you have a device that is paired and is on, it will switch to that. Which is fine, but you can't choose on which device to play from the volume menu like on oneplus. That's ok too, everything is retarded compared to oxygenos. Fine. So you disconnect the device manually. Haha no, f you. It will forcefully reconnect just to f... with you.

Because of all this retarded crap I absolutely hate this phone. I hate it. I have to reboot it at lest 10-15 times a day. That's Windows Millenium bad. That is completely unacceptable. I am honestly thinking about returning it.

Oh by the way, my fingerprint sensor works awesome. It is SO much better than the op6t one. Still utterly inferior to any rear mounted one I ever used and I do not understand why on earth did we get rid of those ones, clearly in a better place and 10000000 times faster. But still, fine.

The lack of the face unlock is the pinnacle of stupidity though. Especially to anyone coming from OxygenOS. I seriously only used my fingerprint to confirm purchases on op6t. Which truthfully never worked and I had to enter the pin always anyway, but that's besides the point.

I WANT FACE UNLOCK!

Oh yeah, that was completely off topic.

I WANT BT FIXED!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] js042507:
Hmmm. I have the complete opposite experience. Sorry to hear that. I don't know what it is, but I absolutely love this frigging phone. I haven't been excited about phones in years. This one does it for me. I don't use Bluetooth ever, except in the car via Android Auto, and it works fine for me. Bluetooth in general is a **** technology IMO, so of course sometimes phone audio doesn't work right. No issues here. Music/Spotify works fine. I would never use face unlock, so not an issue for me. Never have to reboot either. Not sure what that's about. Also, windows ME was great! LOL. Not as good as XP though. Anyhow, don't know what to tell you. Maybe return it.

EDIT: maybe try clearing WiFi, Bluetooth, etc history in the settings and start over.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jazzgott:
Did that a million times when tried to connect to my stratos watch. Unfortunately that did not work either. BT is completely broken as I say.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.

As js042507 said, try a network reset.

Try a hard reboot (simulates pulling battery).

Disable all power management as this can cause erratic behavior.

Try in safe mode if possible to rule out 3rd party apps as the cause.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mysterioustko:
I have three different sets of buds, a bluetooth speaker, my car, and two watches and I have no bluetooth issues at all. When I start the car, it only takes a couple seconds for the phone to switch from my buds to the car. I have not had to reboot my phone a single time. I haven't experienced any of what you described. It sounds like you might need to exchange the phone. Perhaps you have a bad bluetooth module. It's also worth noting, I am now using my 256gb, and was using a 128gb before that. Neither one had the issues you described.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Norma Stitz:
Mine refuses to connect cleanly to one of my cars. It's paired fine, but the only process I can make work is

Phone:

double swipe down / settings / connected devices

select my car from "previously paired deviced"

get error message

Car:

Phone menu / find phone / select Pixel 6

error message flashed briefly on phone screen - something about SIM access

Phone:

select my car from "previously paired device"

get error message

select gear icon

select disconnect

select connect

Boom, easy as pie!!!!

I have yet to find a way to make it just work. My previous phone worked seamlessly with this car.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Apart from what I stated previously you can try clearing the sim toolkit data. It will rebuild it's self. Sometimes this will resolve connection issues.

Google play Services tends to always have it's finger in the pie, try clearing it's data.

Check through all of the Google account settings as well... there are many. Some may apply.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jazzgott:
But all of that should not be necessary. We are not at android 0.3. It's android 12 for god's sake and it works well on pretty much any other device. This is just such an amateur screwup, come on. Ridiculous.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
My Bluetooth hasn't been nearly as bad but it hasn't been totally perfect. I've had a similar disconnect issue where it's connected to my Bluetooth DAC but no sound happens. I end up using the quick toggle to go to phone speaker then back and all is good. My cars have been fine with music and GPS but I haven't taken a call yet and I hear disconnects are common during or after a call. View attachment 5463109
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
Bluetooth may be broken in your device but it isn't broken in the phone in general. Mine works flawlessly.

Having ten reboots a day obviously isn't normal so either return it, get it fixed or get rid of the phone you hate so much.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] leafar1606:
Mine works fine with Galaxy watch and galaxy buds+. No issues at all.

But I have problem with connection to my Volkswagen car. It connects fine, but I can't make it to connect for audio only. I don't need the phone part connected, only audio but it only connects automatically if audio with phone are engaged.

In another car it won't automatically connect to Anker Soundsync. Every time I have to dive into bluetooth settings and connect it from there.

I had none of these problems with Samsung S21 Ultra.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rcklss1:
As far as the car audio is concerned mine works with the iDrive unit in my 3 series perfectly. It has trouble (not near what you describe but definitely not as flawless) in my Cooper S with a year older iDrive than the 3 has. I think if anything it might be firmware differences with the vehicles in my case. Maybe ensure your cars firmware is up to date if updateable? It may be worth checking out but of course it doesn't explain your other issues.

I always have it paired to a Galaxy Watch 3 with no problems and Galaxy buds on and off throughout the day.

Like others have said though if I was having that many issues you bet I'd be returning/exchanging it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Could be a mobo failure or a bad batch of mobos the wasn't detected.

During production runs components including smaller chipsets may be substituted. This can lead to unexpected deviations in performance and/or functionality not easy to detect.

There are millions of semiconductor junctions in a mobo... ever wonder what happens when one or a few are defective?

There may be no easy fix except to return it...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nation888888:
Solution: We know turning off and on BT provides stability. I used Tasker to instruct my P6P to turn BT off when there is an initial connection, then another command to turn BT back on. Tested on the 2016 Landrover seems to work.
[Google Pixel 6] allenrb2:
The one I have been using doesn't work well with this phone due to the camera bar. I prefer ones that stand the phone up. That way I can see notifications at a glance.

The original Pixel charging stand is at Woot for 28.99. it's not as fast a the new one will be but that's a good price
[Google Pixel 6] iqranawaz:
Wireless charger work but it very slow.
[Google Pixel 6] Jaxom84:
If you're still looking for one, I would recommend the OnePlus Warp Charger (https://www.oneplus.com/uk/product/oneplus-warp-charge-50-wireless-charger). I've been testing how it performs with my girlfriend's Pixel 6 and it does a perfect job.

Also, as the Pixel 6 uses a lower standard that those used by OnePlus, you can buy the older version of their charger for the same result (findable on AliExpress). Think that you'll have to use a use a good charging brick too, in order to make it work at its maximum strength, too.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] kenship:
Problem solved. Trying different USB cable (2.0) worked.

-----

Hi, I was trying to downgrade from Android 12 to 11. Following guide step by step, including

USB Debugging, Turn on OEM Unlocking, then used adb to boot into bootloader. Device state was locked. Ran fastboot flashing unlock but then stuck at Waiting for Device. Phone didn't go into warning to unlock bootloader.

I noticed that Boot slot is b, not sure if that matters.

Also tried to follow Google's own flash too, got stuck at the same phone screen.

Any help is appreciated.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
Sounds like a driver issue. It's either the Google USB driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

or the ADB driver: https://xdaforums.com/t/official-to...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] kenship:
Thks for the reply. Well I can't say for sure but switching USB ports and changing cable eventually solved my issue. I kept reinstalling Google USB driver as well so any one of them could be the problem. But I really don't worry now since I successfully flashed 11 back.

[Google Pixel 6] axelmasok:
Did some reading and there are a few guides but not sure what might be best for this new Pixel6.

Whilst I wait for the ability to use a Google-Free ROM, is there an app or script or list of apps/services to disable etc that would work i can follow?

I'm kinda wanting to have a play with this phone but don't want it updating itself or tracking me... ;)
[Google Pixel 6] Diablo2424:
I'm with you in this, impatiently waiting for Calyx/Graphene A12 and P6 support. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much we can do until then. Just restrict as many permissions as you can, don't sign in to too many things and use websites instead of apps when possible

My system is unstable. I don't want this phone.Copy his user name and wait..
[Google Pixel 6] Tomatot-:
Here are the apps I froze. I could probably freeze more but it's a good start i'd say. I didn't sign in to any google account. It's not perfect but that's temporary, patiently waiting for custom ROMs too :)

View attachment 5464255
[Google Pixel 6] axelmasok:
Yep I guess we wait for the clean ROMS and such.

Thanks for sharing tomatot - I have done a bit of that already. Will check your list against mine 👍
[Google Pixel 6] Tomatot-:
Sure, let me know if I missed any other app that seems important to freeze.
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
I don't know if any of you realize this, but p6/p6p have first class support in aosp. Take 15 minutes to read the instructions and build it from source yourself.

I'm running a self built aosp12r14 on my p6p right now and even typing this message from it.
[Google Pixel 6] Tomatot-:
It'd be nice if you'd share your build with the community. Is everything working including fingerprint scanner?
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
1) My build wouldn't help you. Like I said, its for p6p, not the basic-p6 in here.

2) 15 minutes of reading is all it takes to figure out how to build it yourself. The security risk of using something built by someone you don't know doesn't justify it.

3) couldn't tell you about fingerprint sensors, biometric security isn't protected by anti-self-incrimination laws, so I would never use and recommend that nobody ever use it. You should only use knowledge-based security.
[Google Pixel 6] axelmasok:
I guess we are lazy? Or an underestimated minority?

I'm wondering why an AOSP build isn't available already from some kind person, or even a walk through with comments and experiences from someone already on this planet? Nothing on Youtube either.

Or is it so easy people do it quietly and assume it's common knowledge.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
You know they make phones without Google installed on them, right? They are called iPhones and are pretty popular too. ;)
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
You realize that those are 100% closed source and locked and completely and utterly useless?
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
Yes, which is why I use only Android phones.
[Google Pixel 6] Tomatot-:
You can enjoy Android without enjoying Google bloat/spyware you know... :)
[Google Pixel 6] axelmasok:
I think they are just joking with the iPhone jib so no need to overreact all.

I read up on source.android.com and it all looks well documented yes. But.

400G of free HDD space, 60GB+ of source to download, overnight compiling....

I've not done it before, let alone testing on a brand new phone...plus with 2 kids and a puppy and not much sleep...

If your in your 20s and have a couple of Pixel phones and lots of free time - have a go and let us know your experiences creating a ROM. If it works on your P6, I'll try it on mine 😜
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
Those many GB is not that much these days. Not like anyone is using 9600 bps dialup any more. And overnight compiles are not that bad, not like you really need to watch it. Set it to go and go to bed.

Or if you have a faster computer, just give it an hour.

But I do hear you on the kids and dog getting in the way. I have 3 kids under 10 and a dog. Oh, I'm an accountant.
[Google Pixel 6] ogkillergreen:
It's funny that people use Android and try to De-Google their phone.

What is even more hilarious is buying a phone actually made by Google themselves and trying to De-Goolge that same device :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
It it a bit funny, but oddly, the very best choice if that is the objective, since they're the only ones actually supported directly in aosp.
[Google Pixel 6] axelmasok:
Oh yes, I'm laughing so hard too. I've run Gapps-free since my Nexus 4, what is that, 2012/13? Yes, poor us...

I guess on the 60GB and compile time, it's ok for the committed but it's not something the average windows/mac user would jump into. I run Debian, Internet is good here but I'd still prefer someone else to do it first on their P6 and report how it went.
[Google Pixel 6] Edmontonchef:
Hopefully someone makes a Lineage 19 build, not sure if Carbonrom will ever support a Pixel device again.
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
Lineage is really not worth taking as a whole, since it introduces a lot of bugs and compromises tied to supporting devices that aren't supported in AOSP, however it has a very small number of helpful adjustments, which are pretty easy to pick and choose as required;

- Dialer (recording, dark theme),

- Messaging (dark theme, color-matched contacts),

- Contacts (dark theme),

- Calendar (AOSP calendar is broken).

In addition, the CAMERA application from Graphene actually allows you to zoom out fully (i.e., to zoom levels less than 1.0). The only only other camera application I'm aware of that can do that is the Gooble one. P6 and P6P require zoom levels down to 0.65 in order to enable the wide angle sensor and make full use of the video conferencing sensor.

I tried to build a custom kernel for the 037 P6 version I flashed from the flash tool website. Unfortunately, as soon as I want to build my own kernel image instead of just embedding the prebuilt one I will see the Google splash for like 5secs and then it goes back into the bootloader, stating I triggered a reboot. How can I find out the reason for the reboot? Or am I wrong to assume I can build my kernel using

BUILD_KERNEL=1 ./build_slider.sh

? I flashed the boot, dtbo, vendor_boot and then in fastbootd vendor_dlkm.
[Google Pixel 6] allenjthomsen:
Flash stock vendor_boot and see if it boots up.
[Google Pixel 6] glumpi:
No luck :/ I'm using the android-gs-raviole-5.10-android12-d1 manifest for the sources. I extracted the vendor_boot from the aosp-master-with-phones CI build branch.

What you use to freeze apps.. I have SD maid
[Google Pixel 6] allenjthomsen:
Vendor files i get directly from https://developers.google.com/android/drivers

Not to mention you need to also extract vendor.img to get all the required files using https://github.com/GrapheneOS/android-prepare-vendor

Because if you dont then you will be missing some required files that google does not include in the vendore blobs.

Gapps another couple of devs linked me to 3 differnt gits ,i will link you to them when i get home currently out and about
[Google Pixel 6] allenjthomsen:
I just reread what you said , its easier to just download latest r14 or r15 kernel from googlesource and then setup a build enviroment with a custom toolchain and customize it
[Google Pixel 6] glumpi:
oh I thought all the folks publishing custom kernels around here just use the branch I mentioned with its prepared build environment. If Google uses it as-is on their CI shouldn't the process be the same?

I just wanted to test my kernel changes real quick.
[Google Pixel 6] allenjthomsen:
Personal preference ,i prefer to do it the way i said but you may prefer another way
[Google Pixel 6] glumpi:
I see, and it would have been better if I did that a week ago when I started trying to build it their way...

Thanks, I will see.
[Google Pixel 6] allenjthomsen:
You dont have to restart just setup another enviroment with kernel and toolchain of preference and see if you get better results if not go back to the other instance and do it that way.
[Google Pixel 6] allenjthomsen:
each developer you talk to will say that they do it this way or that way there is no wrong way
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
The "drivers" package includes everything -- its a prebuilt vendor image and a couple of other files. Nothing is missing.
[Google Pixel 6] Tomatot-:
Titanium backup, but you can also use oandbackupx or adb
[Google Pixel 6] allenjthomsen:
the vendor blobs have only the minimum required files for the build to build correctly it is still missing some proprietary files that are included in the vendor.img of the latest stock download for pixel6/pro if you believe i am wrong feel free to show me how i am wrong because all this current information comes from multiple people including kdragon , FullOfHell , and a few others developers.
