[BUG] Nexus Player (6.0) lost accounts, languages and settings - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everybody!
Since the first day of use, my Nexus player (received on 6.0.1) have some "memory" trouble. When he's enterring in sleep then wake up, he lost:
-All my account (ie Twitch, Youtube)
-Ask me to validate condition of play store even if i had already accepted
-Switch back my language from French to English (Australian)
My setup:
-Nexus Player under Android 6.0.1 stock (without any mods)
-TV Haier 32"
-No HDMI Options possible in my TV Menu
Regarding the language issue, there is another thread on XDA, and a case open to Issue tracker on AOSP site, but I think that the issue is deeper than the language, and seems like the player lost his memory when he's enterring in sleep mode.
Does any one had the same issue? Can I disable the sleep function without risk?

The problem I have is that if I unplug it, it looses the time/date settings, and for some weird reason will only let me set the year to 2010. I have to set 2010 and reboot the device and then it will let me set the correct year. Very frustrating if I loose power to have to do this.

Song strange, it seems that the N Player had somes difficulty to keep settings. Does someone can look at the language menu, to check if the player doesn't switch to English(Aus) ?

Nexus One Wish List

1. FM Radio
2. DivX/Xvid playback
3. Adobe Flash
4. FM Transmitter
5. Life Recorder (records audio/calls to SD 24/7)
6. On-Device answering machine/call screening app
The rules above are that I'm restricting the list to things the Nexus should be able to do given it's current hardware.
...
Aw, hell, here's my Nexus X (future device) wish list too:
1. Built-in Pico Projector
2. Dual camera flash
3. AI Secretary to handle calls
4. USB Host
5. Solar array on the battery cover
6. Touch sensitive case
7. Dual front cameras (for vid calls and Natal-like interface)
Mod´s mark that sticky!!!!!!
Just waked up and thoutgh Ive to post it, I gone online and it is already posted
Few things I would like:
- deleting emails at once without to mark each
- adding grous to contacts on the phone and not only in gmail accout
- ics (internet connection sharing)
- a navigation software avaible to everyone whos haveing a n1
- changing font size all over the os without root or 3th part software
- saving apps etc on sd card without to root
1. A LED that blinks to tell you if it' switched on or not.
1. Copy & Paste from mail, sms, etc.
2. HTC like keyboard
3. HTC like widgets (mail, messages, contacts)
4. music player on lock screen
5. colour trackball notifications
..and all from above posts.
Hmmm sounds like I am up for a HTC Desire....not !!
I want quick updates...
Video ringtones and all that was mentioned above
Adding to the list: a streaming TV solution (like Slingbox). This is of course, not the N1's fault.
These 3 are just wtf:s that need to be added post haste i think:
* Swipe right to left-gesture for "back". Handy for menu navigation, web navigation, lots of apps like messaging... Some apps implement it, but it should be a general OS thing.
* Change set time/date-widget to select text when touched. So i can {touch value -> enter new value} instead of {touch value -> make sure cursor is at the end -> backspace twice -> enter value}. Then i wouldn't have to go insane setting alarms.
* "Genre"-tab in music player! Please!
Also a more functional camera-app would be nice. I'm hoping someone around here will be able to rip out the one in Sony X10.
For future devices,
* Camera hardware button!
* Better camera hardware (including better flash)
I don't understand why they took away Home screen rotating. If I hit the search button whilst on the Home screen, I want to be able to type in landscape. >_<
Oooh, I didn't know it had FM hardware. I want FM transmitting to work, as I use a separate transmitter to listen to my N1 in my car, and doing away with the tangle of wires would be awesome.

PLS post this Report for AtinM under CM7 for SGS2 Thread, Thanks

Hi everybody,
I registered here so that I can post extra my report. Because I really want a stable cyanogen mod on my galaxy s2
I'm an IT specialist, and have started various tests with CM7 on my galaxy S2, and those are the FCs:
Problems when changing from ROM to Lite'ning Cyanogen Mod 7:
Installed CWM, then flashed --> No success. Restarted CWM the GUI was blue, then flashing --> Done!!!
-Huge battery-consumption
-Black screen during and after a call
-2G/3G Does not switch
-Media and general phone volume too silent
-Video playback does not work, possibly with certain file extensions
-Video recording also works not correctly
-Bluetooth does not work
-WiFi works but very lame, there are disconnects
-Some apps do not work for example Old Book of Ra
-After you select a CPU clock mode for example power saving or ondemand mode --> crash - then --> only boot screen loop! Solution: flash again
The default access points are out of date, for example ePlus WAP GPRS (Germany)
to AWLauncher
The Home Botton which starts the apps was lose, you have to look after
I also don't like the launcher it is not not easy handle, various unnecessary options and settings ...
Things that I miss:
With a Stock ROM, you can call a contact directly if you wipe in the list on the contact with the hand --> to the right, and send an sms when you wipe --> to the left, can u reinstall this function again? Its Cool ;D
Absolutly: Samsung Touch Wiz 4.0 and apps, such as game hub (I cant't find the apps Android Market) -> Would it be possible that you can install them separately?
Google Apps & Market (I know you can not install this with CM7, but this prevents the config of mobile phones at the beginning)
Q: Is it possible to choose a WiFi connection, befor you set up the mobile phone for the first time? Would be very useful, especially after a wipe. (Bakup Apps etc.)
Incorrect grammar reserved - thanks to Google translator ;D
Seems like stock is perfect for you, you don't need cm7...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
also read the 1st post in the thread and you will see he clearly says DO NOT POST BUG REPORTS....
Wow. Just stay on stock an call it a day. I don't know why you even flashed cm7 anyway.

Video playback does not work, possibly with certain file extensions

Will probably never work as good as samsung roms. Cyanogenmod and MIUI only include bare basic codecs supplied by google , they don't port over samsung codecs over because of licensing fees probably.
The only option would be to rely on third party software players , who do decent job if your phone is fast enough , diceplayer and moboplayer are pretty decent , don't expect to play 1080p or [email protected] thought only samsung based roms can do that.
The dev asked that no bug reports be submitted...it's not a finished product as yet...nightly builds are an ongoing project.
Also, there is a dedicated Q&A thread for it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411 which you are able to post in.

Known Issues
Accessibility
Unable to listen to TTS output when pitch is set near maximum level.
Accessibility features and settings may be disrupted with the user adds a Work profile, including magnification gesture and setting. Accessibility state is restored when the user next touches the associated settings.
Camera
The Camera app has exhibited instability; it may crash in various circumstances, such as when launched in multi-window mode.
Pressing the shutter continuously in panorama mode may cause the Camera app to crash.
Audio
A platform audio player issue prevents some apps from functioning normally. For example, Skype and other apps are affected by this issue.
Connectivity
When a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripheral role device advertises a service and a BLE central role device connects, the peripheral role device disconnects very quickly.
Wi-Fi connection may be dropped when the screen is off.
RFCOMM connections are unstable and may result in data corruption and dangling connections.
The active network state (NetworkInfo.getState() and NetworkInfo.getDetailedState()) might return incorrect values during some restricted background scenarios.
Launcher
The default launcher’s All Apps tray may become unresponsive after cycling screen off / screen on. Returning to the homescreen and relaunching the All Apps tray may resolve this issue.
Keyboard
When updating a device running Android 6.0 or earlier to the N Developer Preview, Google Keyboard does not preserve preferences data such as recent emoji and sound settings.
Google Indic Managed Keyboard may be unstable.
When entering text in a password field, the user can select Russian as the input language but the keyboard remains in English. This prevents the user from entering Russian-language passwords.
Locale and languages
When using a right-to-left (RTL) locale, the system may unexpectedly switch to left-to-right (LTR) presentation after restarting the device.
Media
Media playback be be unreliable on Nexus 9 and Nexus Player, including issues playing HD video.
Multi-window mode
Device may freeze when changing orientation in multi-window mode.
Several apps currently have issues with multi-window mode:
The system UI may crash when docking Settings > Display > Screen brightness to multi-window.
The Camera app may crash when launched in multi-window mode.
YouTube may crash when launched into multi-window mode. To fix the issue, you can clear the YouTube app’s data at Storage > Apps > YouTube.
Google Play services
Apps using Google Cast through Google Play services may be unstable when the user selects a system locale that uses letters and numbers outside of the ASCII range.
Work and enterprise
The Device Policy app may crash when the user unlocks the device with the "device policy status" screen pinned.
After setting up a work profile with file-based encryption enabled and then turning off Work, users must unlock primary profile screen lock to once again access Work apps.
Cannot open work apps after reboot in file-based-encryption with work mode off.
Device reboots when removing the security pattern lock and opening work app/personal app in the multi-window.
Setting DISALLOW_VPN_CONFIG is causing the consent dialog to appear in always-on-vpn set by Device Policy Client.
Traffic is not locked down until VPN is connected in always-on-vpn mode.
External storage
Apps may become unstable when the user moves them from internal storage to adoptable external storage (this can include SD card or devices attached over USB).
Screen zoom and multiple APKs in Google Play
On devices running Android N, Google Play services 9.0.83 incorrectly reports the current screen density rather than the stable screen density. When screen zoom is enabled on these devices, this can cause Google Play to select a version of a multi-APK app that’s designed for smaller screens. This issue is fixed in the next version of Google Play services and will be included in a later Developer Preview release.
On devices running Android N, Google Play services 9.0.83 currently reports Vulkan support but not Vulkan version. This can cause Google Play to select a version of a multi-APK app that’s designed for lower Vulkan support on devices with higher version support. Currently, the Google Play Store does not accept uploads of Apps which use Vulkan version targeting. This support will be added to the Google Play Store in the future and fixed in the next version of Google Play services (to be included in a later Developer Preview release) any N devices using the version of Google Play services 9.0.83 will continue to receive versions of Apps targeting basic Vulkan support.
Notifications
MessagingStyle does not show notifications with "null" (self) sender.
Radio does not work
The new radio does not work for me, neither that of the Beta 2, so I am up the creek...
N6P, 132GB, unlocked BL

Hello Adam,
I have installed this version and I have several issues, hope you can help me:
1. I can't install apps from Google play store while using cellular connection, only with wi-fi. I granted permission to use the data to the play store.
2. All of my purchased apps from Google are not recognized by the app and state that I have to buy the premium version.
3. My contacts in the Google account can't be synced (other info of google is synced)
When I installed this ROM I cleared the data
Thanks

After installation of google services via google installer,you need to allow all permissions of google apps names starting google in settings.Only open playstore after it.Uninstall services and do install again.Hope you got what i said.
Hi Adam!
I'm confused a bit about which ROM should I use. Currently I'm on stock 7.0.1.0G.
If I'm willing to upgrade which one should I use. There are quite a few options such as: 7.2.0.0A, 7.8.7.16G, 7.8.7.24A or even 7.8.8.9A.
I can't find a out whats are the differences. For sure all of them are Nougat based. but then...
Could you please guide me which one to pick?!
Thanks!
I need the original build.prop of the rom Flyme 7.2.0.0A Stable Final. I made many changes without a proper backup. If anyone can send me a copy, thank you.

Choose latest 7.2.0.0 A if your concern is about getting more stability and security patches.
Choose latest beta A if you want slight more battery backup.

I have some issue with 7.2.0.0A. I already installed it. But when I try to login into flyme account I get a message that I'm still loged in with another account and I have to logout with that first. I bought my Phone 2nd hand and the seller told me he removed this phone from his account.
The interesting thing that if I use the 7.0.1.0G than I can login with my own without any problem.
I'm still negotiating with the seller how could és solve this.
Do you have any idea how could I overcome this issue if I can't manage IT with the seller?
Thanks!

Login on flyme account using computer and change the password there. Once password changed you have to login everywhere again since all active sessions gone out.
Is there any way to install a altered ROM on this phone? If I add or delete anything from the official ROM then it states it is corrupt.
Or is it possible to install TWRP on it? I think with that maybe its possible to install some tweaked ROM.

apparently there is no custom rom, twrp, xposed. what I recommend is to enable root and delete apps and system folders. I did and I gained more ram and less use of the processor in the background. and longer battery life

Just to help out a bit, if possible:
Camera seems to be fine on my P2XL - though I have not enabled any HDR+ or raw settings.
Now Playing is working for me, grabbed the theme song off the show I was watching last night.
Markup "edit" button can be fixed. Clear data in markup, open photos and use markup from within that; you should get a permission request. (simply going into permissions on the markup app and enabling any/all may work as well, but is untested)
In dialer/recents, tap the number, and choose block from the drop down menu. I am in the beta for the Google phone app - so that may be part of it. Dirty flash may also affect this.
Clarification only: Photos is broken in dark-mode, but only in that all options dialogs/drop-downs are white text on white background. Other than that, you can still browse photos/albums, etc.
For clarity: My device is the Pixel 2 XL and Q was installed via factory image with full wipe (no dirty flash), and I did not restore from any backups.
Camera is fine for me on 2xl. Nothing different. HDR+ works as normal so does raw DNG.

It already feels almost instant in Pie, what can they improve?

Now playing is working for me - just not displaying on the lock screen. I just got home form a birthday party, and every song the DJ played is in my NP history;
In addition to the charging time estimate, the estimate in the pull down notification area is completely off base compared to the estimated time left in Settings --> Battery;
My built in screen recording works for me, and has worked since I enabled it from the Features flags in Developer Options;
No issues with Google Photos with dark Mode. Caveat: I had dark mode enabled in Pie, and took the Q DP1 OTA over that Pie install;
I found that there is a microphone icon at the top left when selecting Panorama photo mode that I never saw before (was that introduced with Q DP1, or just a very recent Google Camera update?)
I've not noticed a discernible slowdown in the Camera app (and I always use HDR+ / Night sight for my photos), but I have noticed that when I try to view a picture / video, particularly like an MMS in Messages / Google Voice, the phone is extremely slow and laggy.
@eBENdre just got xl 2 ,prerooted,one question,if i install Q 1 will it owerwrite twrp magisk also,will there be problems maybe? Thanks

Yes, it will overwrite twrp and magisk.
There are always potential problems with any update to beta builds, however, many are running Q without issues. Best advice I can give is to familiarize yourself with fastboot commands, since you'll need to install twrp again, and read, read, and read again all of the information in the Q threads so you know what to do and expect :good:

Huge thanks mate,and there is problem for me,as keybord not working on laptop...
You'll probably need access to a different computer - or else need to buy a cheap USB KB to use, because use of a separate computer / laptop is pretty much essential to get this working (root + Q, not to mention installing TWRP by using fastboot boot to boot TWRP, then installing TWRP from inside the booted TWRP).

You should get the next update fine, provided your on stock recovery without root. I don't run betas personally, but my info comes from reading about others that do. As with anything android...YMMV :good::laugh:
Android Q Beta Experience
I've been on Android Q beta for almost 3 weeks now. It is used as a daily driver since I have only the one Pixel 2. I flashed the new image myself using TWRP rather than opt into the beta with Google. Other than a problem with now playing not always showing up on the screen and a slight delay when I go to the Favorites page in Phone app everything seems to work alright. I am getting roughly the same battery life as with Android Pie. Oh, and my banking app (ICICI Bank, India) is not working. It doesn't send an SMS to activate the app. I thought this might be as the phone number is shown as unknown. I understand that Vodafone in India does not show the phone number in the SIM information in Settings. I have activated dark mode and even photos and camera app work without a hitch. I have rooted with Magisk (Canary channel) and that is working without any problem.
OTOH, I've also been on Q since the day it came out (my birthday, coincidentally - love being an Ides of March baby lol).
I've had some issues crop up here and there, but nothing really serious. I was on Pie, rooted, and used the uninstall routine inside of Magisk to de-root my Taimen before taking Q, and then rooted it again with the (then latest) canary build.
What I'm hoping is that the Magisk procedure to de-root the device, take the OTA, and then before rebooting, applying the patched boot.img to the new partition will work, the same as if you're rooted on Pie and get an OTA.
Time will tell.
My notifications is coming like this only.. is this a bug?
or the clock is missing?
My device is not rooted. I'm not using any module or theme.
Clock missing - have you rebooted?

Yes I have. Atleast 2-3 times.
Wonder if it is System UI Tuner related?
You could give this a shot and see if the System UI is set to hide the clock, though the last time I actually tried to hide the clock, it didn't leave that space there....
