New 7.0 update for nexus 6p

Discussion

Just got this OTA. Anyone else? Is Google finally fixing Nougat for the 6P?

https://imgur.com/a/Xvft3

*NBD90X is the build number, as others have said.

Nothing obvious has changed, fingers crossed for better battery life.

Though I will say that although I had significant battery problems with the original OTA Nougat, after a couple weeks it went back to being ~3-4 hours SOT and lasting all day easily on a full charge with Doze working properly. I still get a really significant (12-15%) amount attributed to Android System and Android OS though.

Mine went to shit after I side loaded the new update. It's awful today.

Mine was great before the last OTA. I have never had issues until now.

I doubt it. If it's only been available for less than 24 hours I'm sure he's hasn't received the recent update.

welfare_iphone_owner•

Are you sure it's the OS and not your battery physically dying? I had to rma one phone because of 1 hour SOT and turning off at 15%

1
3xonjoe•

Well my info says os and system. But I wouldn't be shocked if it is my battery going bad though. My phones get used hard. Like 4 charges a day screen is always on and data being used

My phone was stuck on the spinning Google logo for around 5 minutes when rebooting. Not sure if this is normal. Everything seems to be fine in the os.

Same here, but then it skipped the 5 minutes of "optimizing apps"

Optimizing after an update doesn't happen since 7.0.

linus121Frost•

It did it on my mother's Nexus 6 when she got the OTA.

1
MajorNoodles•

That only happens the first time you boot with 7.0. It won't happen again.

5
C0rdt•

Yeah, clearly it happens before it boots the first time. Nothing has really changed...

1
Faldorn•

That only happens when it makes certain types of changes from what I've read.

Tbh, 5 minutes for update isn't that bad. This update is pre good for me so far too

sillylittlewillyNaked•

I stupidly updated mine while waiting to board a flight. Only after I started it did it dawn on me that my boarding pass was on my phone. It felt like forever while it was rebooting, but it finally got there in time.

HeroOT•

Had that as well. Also had a "no service" message for the longest time but after a while it gradually came back. Really odd.

almyndz•

Just got it too, on project fi. Hopefully this is good shit 👌

The one thing I've noticed is that notifications are easier to swipe away

7
sudo_make_coffeee•

That was driving me up a wall. I'd swipe notifications and they'd bounce back. I'm like, "No, notification. Go away. You're dismissed! GAHH!".

Glad this is finally rectified.

xgeomatrixx•

I agree swiping is easier now

Finally

Hell yes! I can swipe now!

CoopNineAluminium 64 GB•

What's the build number? NDB90X went out to lots of us earlier in the week.

6
_angmanOP•

Yeah that's it. Have you noticed any improvement in battery life or other bugs?

3
CoopNineAluminium 64 GB•

sadly, no... I actually wasn't affected all throughout the beta and after, but suddenly see worse battery life now.

3
viggyvodka•

Yo same here, now I don't know how to fix it. My battery was so good before this October update :(

1
BenCrobberyAluminium 32 gb Verizon•

No bugs so far, battery life is better day after updating

2
jjremy•

I just had notification sounds stop working for some reason. Not sure if it's related, but it never happened before the update. Reboot fixed it.

xgeomatrixx•

Ok Google vibrate is still there, no audio prompt still

Same one for me

Flashed the OTA. Android OS and System still destroying my battery.

_angmanOP•

what's your average SOT?

2
cyup•

Did the update, now my phone doesnt get any service. Any suggestions?

Restarted phone, checked apn, took out sim, reinstered sim, on Tmobile

krcsimpleT-Mobile•

Nationwide outage. https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/569v3o/is_tmobile_down_across_the_country_again/

Captain_Midnight•

I guess that explains why the iPhone I was testing out received a "no service" message last night, while my cell connection was fine if I popped the SIM back into my 6P.

What's interesting there is that this is the Verizon-supplied iPhone 7, whose model can access both CDMA and GSM networks. So in theory, it should have been able to connect to the Sprint portion of Project Fi like my 6P can. But in practice, it still seems to be limited to GSM connectivity. Good to know.

flyingswift•

I'm also seeing this

2
krcsimpleT-Mobile•

I am having the same issue. T-mobile as well! AGH!

Reflash the radio image from the latest factory image in fastboot.

1
reven80•

Any resolution to this? I'm in the same situation.

1
cyup•

Seems it was a T-Mobile outage. Restarted my phone and service came up

1
reven80•

That seemed to have been the issue. Rebooting didn't help last night but now it seems good.

1
cyup•

Looks like update mightve fried the sim card. Put the sim in another phone and have the same symptoms

flyingswift•

Is such a thing possible?

2
xgeomatrixx•

Upgraded, now my home screens look like they were moved down a notch. That or I'm more drunk than I thought

2
metarugia•

Just got it on T-Mobile. Confirmed its the NBD90X build after updating. Update took about 5 minutes total.

2
mrchicano20964GB Aluminium•

Just got it today so far so good. The reboot did take a while but finally finished after 5 or so minutes.

2
chuckywang•

I just got this and used Flashfire on my rooted phone to install it.

But now I'm stuck at the spinning Google logo for awhile now. Longer than 5 minutes. Uhh, getting kind of worried.

2
_angmanOP•

RIP?

2
chuckywang•

I hope not!! If anybody else is in the same boat as me, please let me know!

1
AfterSpencerGraphite•

This happened to me too. I had to flash things manually. I wrote up instructions on how to do it here:

https://gist.github.com/AfterSpencer/adf7f8a86737829222bd

It fixed the issue.

3
chuckywang•

Did this happen to you for this specific update? Your instructions seem to be for the Nexus 6.

1
chuckywang•

These instructions worked for me. Flashed radio, bootloader, vendor, system, and boot.

Now I'm back in business! Thank you!!

1
mahdif62Nougat with Ninja kernel•

I did the same. Just give it some time. It will boot up.

1
guntherfurlong•

Is there no breakdown on what's been updated or fixed?

2
wottonGraphite•

This has improved my phone. 3.38hrs SOT at 8%.

2
C0rdt•

Brutal...what are you doing on your phone? And max brightness?

1
booobp•

Have it for a while. Battery life is still garbage.

2
vanillapoodleAluminum 32GB•

i'm kind of nervous to update because battery life has been amazing for me on the latest version. had 5 hours SOT yesterday with a day standby. yeah, i reaaallyy don't want to ruin that.

2
kelus•

So I forced the 7.0 OTA for my 6P via the beta opt in when it was released, and then opted out.

Have yet to receive any OTA's since the August security patch. Running build # NRD90M

2
enthusiastphileAluminum 64TB•

Other than the Android System not going above screen, I still have a less-than-ideal battery life. (screen is often using the same as Android System)

2
wwttdd•

glad to hear I'm not alone

justforaskquestions•

This new update is absolutely destroying my battery. Shortly after updating I noticed the OS and System drain. So I booted into recovery and cleared cache in hopes it would fix it. I then charged it to full and unplugged it last night before going to bed. Just sitting on my desk over night starting at 100% I woke up and it was at 77%......like WTF

Since I got my 6P almost a year ago I have had amazing battering. Easily getting 5 hours ST and just a week ago I could unplug it and leave it over night and wake up at 98-99%.

Also I only have 4 non-stock applications installed. Looking into my battery monitor it looks like my device is waking every 10 mins even when the screen is off. I wish I had root to see what was destroying my battery.

2
bramabul5353•

I am in the same boat. I literally got 5 1/2 hour SOT on MM consecutively at 50% brightness every day for almost a year. Then after N my battery goes to 3hrs? Makes no sense. Combined System OS and Android OS account for way more usage than the SOT. I have data wiped and flashed a fresh image but it persist. I am under the impression there is a huge bug in Android N. No way should my battery almost be cut in half from MM.
