'Do not disturb until next alarm' option gone - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was about to enable Do Not Disturb mode till next alarm like I do everyday and I found that option is gone. Rebooted it twice and the option is still missing. No clue what's wrong. Am I the only one?

Many reports online of this same thing happening to others. Do a Google search or check out any android or xda related twitter account and you'll find them.

Hmm. So it's widespread as per various reports and it started happening just today. I use this feature everyday and it was there till yesterday night. And it's reportedly happening only on devices running 6.0.1.
Woah, AP picked up the news too.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...e-is-weirdly-disappearing-from-6-0-1-devices/

Looks like the bug is gone after the 1st of January:
According to Android Police:
After a little feedback from our commenters, we've found that 1) the problem is affecting more than just Android 6.0.1, going all the way back to 5.1 in some cases, and 2) it's possible to work around it. If you turn off the automatic date function in the Android settings menu and return the date to something either before December 25th or after January 1st, the Until Next Alarm option returns.
That would seem to indicate that this is definitely a bug, and it should return to everyone on New Year's Day. Google will probably patch it in the next incremental release.

Nexus 6.0.1 MMB29Q + root SuperSu 2.66 + xposed 80.
The feature is not there. Tried to bring back dates in airplane mode but didnĀ“t work.

Latest Update Heating Issues

Hello! The last OTA update was 12.1-YOG4PAS7DF and everything about it is fine except for 1 thing, the heating issue (well, for me). I don't really know how hot it is but when I'm using wifi for facebook, youtube, etc. , the screen gets warm easily. Anyone got the same issue as mine? Maybe an update will fix it but it's been too long. I'd like to flash some custom roms but I got this wifi connectivity problem with my old phone when I flash a cm13 rom and I'm scared it might happen again.
That's the last i've got too. With last security patch 1 April 2016. I can relate to the heating problem.
But now, when i go to SystemUpdates, i get this message: "WARNING: Update Cyanogen recovery is disabled. This may cause issues with updating your device. Please enable Update Cyanogen recovery in developer options". I'm wondering if this will uphold future OTA updates.
Cheers, Miche

AS say, you need to enable recovery update on Developers options.. If not have DOpt enabled you need to go Settings, select About phone, Tap the Build number entry seven times. On the seventh tap, you will be notified that "You are now a developer."

This phone was perfect before the last 2 - 3 updates now, i am contemplating a wipe and see if that helps. i would use one of the custom roms, but i have apps that are not rooted firmware friendly like the barclays app which is very important to me.

AT&T June Security Patch

Ever since I updated to the June Security Patch, I've been having a problem with the recents screen. Usually about once a day, it will state that there are no recent apps when I push the recents capacitive button. I have to reboot in order for any apps to appear in the recents screen again.
Anybody else have this problem? And more importantly, does anybody have a solution?
I'm having this problem. Just like you I noticed it after the June patch.
---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------
Forgot to mention. I haven't found a solution. I also have no idea how a security patch can affect the software. I haven't factory reset at all but maybe that could help. I also have no idea why this update came in a month late.
Haven't tried a factory reset either. I don't feel like going through that much work to set it up again. At least not yet. Perhaps the next security patch will fix this issue.

Nope, phone is rock solid after update.
Granted, it would take a few days to test for the issue you're having.
I noticed that this was more than just a security update. The file was half a gig. Also, there is a new useless AT&T app to set up and transfer settings and information between phones, and WiFi calling in quick settings.
But I also feel like the phone is slightly faster than before. Maybe it's all in my head, but it's really smooth right now.
Read some where that this latest update add wifi calling, can anybody check and see if the option is there? It's G930AUCU2APG1 for the S7, and G935AUCU2APG1 for the S7 Edge)

Yup there's an option for wifi calling in the notification quick toggles.
So does root work ?
For anybody interested, this update seems to have fixed the problem with the recents page.

I am having a terrible time with this update and looking for help. My original problem was web browser tabs constantly not loading and eventually the browsers would just crash. I used the default internet app, Chrome, Dolphin, UC broswer etc etc every single one had same problem. The phone is also freezing up at times and randomly restarting. So far I have
1. Wiped the cache partition
2. Did numerous factory resets
3. Took the phone to Best Buy and the Samsung tech reflashed my phone
4. I deleted all my synched google data
I am running out of options. I did have it working for about an hour and thought I was in the clear, but I logged into chrome and all the problems started again and I can not fix them this time. (This was the reason I deleted my google backup data). Samsung said to ship the phone to them, but I work maintenance in a nursing home and am call 24-7 most days and can not be without a phone for 2 weeks. I was hoping to either flash with an older version or at least be able to reflash myself with the new update. Any help would be appreciated.
I updated to the July update earlier this week. I'm now seeing issues with recent showing no recent apps, and my battery life is tanking. I used to get to about 30% at the end of the day and now I can't get through the day without charging. Also, Wifi calling is enabled but doesn't work...it says failure to register.

Try factory resetting. If that doesn't work there is a thread with the fw that you can restore to with Odin.

I used Odin to go back to the June patch and phone was working great. Like an idiot I thought well maybe the last time I tried to do the July update something got corrupted so I updated again and went to bed. Try out my phone this morning and back to the same issues I was having. I set the phone up as new as well so I did not transfer / back up apps and what not. For whatever reason my phone is not taking that July update. I do not get it.....

Not coming out of "Do Not Disturb" mode using an auto time-based rule

I have a rule set to put the phone in DND mode between 11pm-6am. The phone goes into DND mode just fine at the set time, but it doesn't come out of DND at 6am. This started happening with Android N, it used to work on M.
The weird part is that this seems to work OK on a Nexus 5X but I installed Android N fresh on that one, while my 6P got upgraded from M to N. Not sure if it's the upgrade that messed it up, it's a specific problem to the 6P or what.
Anyone else seeing the same problem with DND mode and rules? Anything I could try, short of trying to wipe everything and start from scratch, which I'd like to avoid, I don't look forward to reconfiguring everything.
Thanks for your help.
Having the same problem lately on my Nexus 5 stock with 6.0.1. Some helpful advice, how to solve this issue will be much appreciated.
Yes...
This is happening on my Pixel. Seems to coincide with the Google VR Services package update. This service is listed as having access to the "Do Not Disturb" under the special access settings. (Settings>Apps>(Gear Icon)>Advanced-Special Access>Do Not Disturb access).
I only started having trouble when this package updated, no other changes.
Oddly, disabling the service does not fix the issue, but starting in Safe Mode does, even though the service still shows as running in developer options.
There's another thread, perhaps a kind mod could merge them?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/disturb-following-automatic-rules-t3356638
There's a bug filed it seems. Hopefully Google will do something about it. Please vote for the issue to be fixed.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=226041
Are you using Android Wear? It seams, that after today's update AW app (version 2.0.0.138705214), problem with DND mode went away. Look at Apkmirror for that version, and please report, if it solve this problem you as well.

That's the version I had installed, but re-installing it cleared the issue for me. Thanks! :good:
Quite interesting. I am now having this same issue. I also have android wear. Stock rooted N. Wear version 2.0.0.138530141. I have an update available to me in Play store so we will see if that resolves.
It seems that the latest Android Wear fixed the issue for me, at least for now. I hope it sticks. Yes, I use Wear.
No problem here. Delete your rule and make a new one.

That never helped me. Trust me, I tried it many times. It seems at least in my case Android Wear was the culprit. Others have mentioned Google VR too. It may still point to an underlying Android bug if apps can break DND.

All background apps are killed since 7.1.2 update

I'm having massive problems with my Nokia 5. Since the 7.1.2 update the phone is not keep any background apps in memory. Switching between apps always causes the app to reload from scratch.
This behaviour goes away and the phone works correctly if I reboot the handset. But after an hour or so the problem returns, which leads me to think that it's a bug.
Multi-tasking isn't possible. Background tasks such as Google photo uploads, play store downloads and WhatsApp backups only occur if the apps are on screen , or until the phone is restarted.
I've tried a factory reset, but it hasn't helped. The phone would keep at least 5-6 apps in memory prior to the 7.1.2 update.
Edit: November Security Update did not fix the problem.
Edit 2: Clearing the cache partition from recovery (as suggested in the thread) does not fix the problem.
Edit 3: The problem unfortunately remains in the Oreo Beta / December Security update. For me, it takes longer for it to become a major issue following a restart than it did on 7.1.2, but after approx 18 hours of use the handset is unable to keep any apps running in the background.
Yes. This is a known issue. I rolled back to 7.1.1 version because of this. Hopefully November's patch will fix everything up (I have doubts about that, because Nokia's support is the worst I've seen. They say it's just a 7.1.2 bug, not their problem). I guess it should come out in the upcoming week, as some of the variants of Nokia 6 received updates today.
Have to keep enabling Bluetooth which is a pita

I carefully followed these steps to install original ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441
Later I just reinstalled all the updates upto September's (the usual way, officially).
But I do not recommend doing that for you can brick your phone (if something's done incorrectly (I had a bit of prior knowledge)) and 100% chance of loosing all the files and data on your phone (you can back that up)
If November's patch doesn't fix it, then, if I were you I would do that. Although.. Nokia Beta Labs should soon release Oreo Beta update for Nokia 5. Just instead of sending feedback about stuff, you could use that software as daily ROM without, most likely, that bug.

Apparently, November's update has been released. Maybe someone could install it ASAP and tell if the problem's fixed?
Right now, I've just downloaded November update and the problem is fixed! Great feeling!

The problem is NOT fixed, it just goes away temporarily after a restart.
After installing the November update on my Nokia 5, it appeared to be working, but 6 hours later and the phone is no longer keeping any apps in memory again.
The November Security update has not fixed the problem.

I' ve got the update more than 24 hours and apps aren't really killed by switching them. I've just tried to reboot the phone and apss still remains in memory. So for me, the problem was fixed!

That's because a reboot fixes the problem for a short time. When I reboot my phone the apps are retained in memory, but after a few hours of use the phone starts to kill the background apps. Rebooting the phone fixes the problem. Again, but it soon returns.
The November Security update did not include a patch or bug fix for this problem, and the problem remains on my handset (others at the Nokia community forums have also confirmed that the problem remains with the November update).
Ok. Just for curiosity. Whoever still has this issue, please write you exact Nokia 5 model (mine for example is TA-1053).
Fun thing. After I reinstalled the ROM, I had to use October's patch for couple (like 7-8) hours (November's patch was late for me). The problem did not appear for me. Now, I'm using November for almost 24 hours, did a couple of restarts, I don't get that problem. So this reinstall helped me.
Also, I was little dramatic about reinstall. If you do not do factory reset, files are not deleted. Nothing changes, just the ROM. You won't even realise.
Hi guys. I have the same problem with my Nokia 5 TA-1024. AND PLEASE TALK ON THIS FORUM ALSO FOR NOKIA TA-1024 NOT ONLY FOR TA-1053
Thank you. Also i found out on one forum how to downgrade but im not sure if it works with ta-1024
The tutorial I linked earlier works with all models.
Ta 1053 with November update and factory reset. Multitasking doesn't exist anymore.
I've uploaded a couple of videos to show the issue on my Nokia 5 (TA-1024). The phone has been updated to the November Security update, and has also been factory reset.
I initially thought that the November update had fixed the issue, but after around 6-8 hours of use, the problem resurfaced, which is why I have captured it on video. Hopefully somebody at HMD will take notice of it.
The first video is after 6-8 hours of use. The phone is no longer able to keep apps in memory, you will notice that the apps almost always reload from scratch when multi-tasking:
https://youtu.be/KU7BlSOyLdQ
The second video shows how the phone behaves directly after a restart. All apps are retained in memory, but the problem unfortunately comes back after a few hours of use.

I've sent a video to the support. Still no response. They responded me about later issue I wrote to them.
And yes. Warranty stays. It's not a custom ROM, nor it's a root. It's official ROM.

"Searching for Android Wear updates" notifications

hello,
as the title says, i get these notifications all day long..
they appear for half a second and are gone before i can click on them.
the attached notification log shows that they pop up in irregular intervals, sometimes several times a minute.
i tried to disconnect and reset the watch, but the issue remains.
the problem came up just recently, but i didn't notice any updates.
any ideas what i can do?
watch: misfit vapor (fossil brand), android 8.0, wear os 1.5 (idk why it's not labled 2.something anymore, but it's definitely not the old 1.5 without playstore and so on..)
phone: sony xperia x compact, android 8.0
seems like a secomd reset made it a bit better.. now i get the notifications about 20 times a day..
what can that be? how often is normal?
could someone please check his log?
to get access you might have to enable developer options, then place a homescreen widget for settings -> notifications log
nobody?
xda isn't what it used to be...
I noticed the same. I belive it started after recent update of Google Wear.
I just installed Notification Saver app (my phone does not have notifation log option) and will revert back once I collect some information...

Yeh, it is checking a lot sometimes, sometimes not that much (6 times a day yesterday!).
But today a lot more (attached picture)!
This is not normal...
thanks for the info, so it's a google problem.
i reported it now via the feedback button in the wear os app and i suggest you do the same.
hopefully they fix this soon..

Nope, noting and I don't think they will ever revert back...
I didn't use my watch the past week or so... let me see next week if the problem persists.
just updated to wear os 2.0..
