Should I update to latest build? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you suggest to update the Nexus 6P to latest M build?
I ask this because I've read in another thread that there's an issue with the background color (washed black) in video playback.
Google has just shipped my phone and I'm wondering if I should update to latest release once I receive my phone.

The background color issue has been on my phone even before the latest update. So, yes go ahead and go the update. It is supposed to fix some issues with Wifi, but I have personally not seen any improvements after the latest update. My Wifi still eats battery like a Pig (Even after scanning turned off, like others suggested)

Always update to the latest and greatest!

[ROM] CyanogenMod 12.1 for Meizu MX4 (20151015 testing update)

UPDATE: 20151015 testing package is out! Check it out for details.
Hello, I've updated the CM12.1 testing package and translated the release notes at my blog. Also took the time to support Disqus for the English blog posts... the release can be found here.
Also that I will stop regularly updating the port at October 20th, having to allocate much of my time to academic work. Security updates and minor bugfixes (as in not requiring massive porting) will continue as usual, however. Feel free to make ssuggestions!
(Note: I don't know how to patchrom so I can't do the Flyme camera app porting, or anything but the easiest features requiring porting of closed-source components, sorry about that but I'm primarily a Web/Android developer and as such don't have much time to learn about smali and the likes.)
don't know what to say ,.. but thanks for you awesome work is it's source on github? maybe we find someone who can do this

https://github.com/xen0n/android_device_meizu_arale/issues/7 Proximity sensor is fixed, the solution is beyond my wildest imagination... Having looked at pile after pile of smali code and kernel sources to no avail a simple echo gets it.
Next release scheduled in ~3 days, stay tuned.
Xenon, can you fix notificarion volume level? All notifications are too loud. I try to fix it by myself, but i didnt find config in /system/etc
Thanks xxxxen0n! i'm waiting for the next release (for proximity sensor fix) then i'm going to install this rom
finally an unlocked bootloader and CM12.1 for meizu mx4. i tought that wasn't possible, but here it is!
Thanks again for your work!
I've tried to edit manually ps_data... XD acces denied even with kali linux adb root and recovery wtf??!!! XDDDD

Working great for me, except mobile data. Battery life is awesome, smooth animations, all sensors are ok, only data connection and would be perfect. Thanks for this rom
I'm not sure is it concern to this ROM, but I have strange issue.
Paired Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30 with Meizu and battery of band drying within one day. When switch bluetooth on the phone off, then drying stops. Previously I have used the same band with Sony Xperia Z3 and battery lasts 4-5 days.
I can't imagine what wrong with Meizu and CM12. Factory reset of the band did not help. Bluetooth stack incompatibility? Wakelock detector shows big activity of com.android.bluetooth process.

I have the same device and test it on CM12.1 No problem! 5-10 percent by day in paired mode. Do you use aditional widgets for SWR30 like Clocki?

No, currently only default settings - default digital clock (with date) and activity monitor are in the use.
After full reinstall yesterday and freezing Lifelog, today battery is much better - from 7am to the 5pm battery have 80% juice remaining, but it still worse that was with Z3.

@xxxenOn could wake the screen gestures, double tab and gesture upward and could import slow motion mode and manual camera?

For camera you could try these ports

Is 6.0.1 coming for Moto X play?

Is 6.0.1 coming for Moto X play? Or no further development henceforth.
6.0 performance is smooth enough for me not to care about 6.0.1. what if 6.0.1 screws it up.
and battery is awesome in 6.0.
Not even every moto x play has official marshmallow..

There has been a lot of users noting a significant decrease in battery life running 6.0.1, this could be due to the fact that the doze feature doesn't seem to work in that update, and all you really get in return is some emoji's and a camera shortcut (which wouldn't really work with MXP given where the power button is anyway). 6.0.0 is fine to be honest.
I'll be happy enough to get 6.0 at this point. O_O
and then you can flash 6.0.1 emojis on 6.0, lol

Smart Lock with Bluetooth Low Energy devices is all screwed up in 6.0 - the Nexus devices had the same problem and this was fixed in 6.0.1. That's the biggest reason why I'm really hoping we'll see an update soon. I'm not holding my breath, though.
6.0.1 changes very little, I doubt it'll 'screw up' the battery performance.

Yep, in 6.0 my MI band isn't visible in Bluetooth devices or smart lock at all but I got it paired to the Mi app from within the app itself.
Bluetooth headsets and audio adaptors/car adaptors are visible and smart lock/work as they should.

Fire OS 5.3.3.0 app issue

Since my HD 8 2016 updated to this, ogyoutube no longer does back ground or pop up windowed playback. I'm guessing Amazon blocked this glorious app?

On my 2nd Generation Moto 360, there's only US and UK-English available, but it listens to me in German quiet well. I've tested it with sending a WhatsApp message and it worked like a charm.

Android 10 final release on Pixel 2 Xl

Just wanted to start a discussion on people's thoughts on performance, battery life and if anyone is experiencing any issues on the final release of Android 10 for the pixel 2 xl.
So far so good for me.
I love the new gestures. Other than that, it's about the same (speed, battery)
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I don't like the back gesture very much, but I think I'll get used to it. Everything is ok, up to now...
Everything seems super fine here.

I was on Beta 5 and reverted back to stock by simply opting out of the beta. I feel like when I reverted, it didn't do it cleanly since I still see residual effects like the version number shows in my notification shade. Also, I no longer have access to the Netflix app, says it's incompatible with my device. Other than doing a factory reset, is there a way to "repair" the phone without losing data again?

You can get rid of the build number in the shade by turning off developer options. Not sure what's up with Netflix though mine works fine p2xl

For netflix, download this version :
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-6-26-1-build-15-31696-release/
OMG that worked! I tried other apks before deciding to factory reset and it still didn't work. You're a life saver. How'd you know the version would work?
Does anyone know how to disable the assistant hints? They are driving me crazy.
It's nice, but unpolished...you can tell they rushed the build. Clean install mind you. Phone has rebooted twice, once installing an app. Another just because? Screen can still be interacted with even after swiping up and touching above it. Very noticeable in photos app once clicked on photo and slide up using gestures, it'll move. Battery was very good on beta 5 bit went down hill after that and persisted on the latest build, I very easily hit 9h sot on Pie, I struggle to hit 7 with doing less stuff even. Something that I reported on the betas and still persisted to stable. occasionally I will get an app that goes dark. When i switch it goes back to higher brightness and dark again (happened without auto brightness) a reboot fixed it. Has happened once on official and twice on betas.
There's a few others but I will update as I remember...
This is all bootloader locked. No mods, and no apps that mess with system.
