I just updated to Nougat and after a few hours my fingerprint scanner starts acting really weird. Sometimes it picks up my finger but takes a few seconds to unlock and other times it just doesn't work (no haptic feed back at all). A reboot fixes it for a bit but it eventually starts acting up again. Anyone else experiencing this? I have seen similar issues in the past on MM but never had this problem until today. Also didn't find any fixes (besides other people saying to reboot).
+1 for the delayed unlock. You're not alone. Many others have reported the same problem post Nougat update.
You're not alone. I observed delays as well, especially after the Nougat update
I haven't noticed a change, but have read that if you change the following it should improve
Settings>Developer Options>Animator Duration Scale = .5x
My fingerprint scanner is almost instant.
You can also try installing Ninja kernel. The fingerprint scanner works using the big cluster instead of the little like the stock kernel. My fingerprint scanner is almost instant with this setup.

My Nexus 6p was extremely responsive and fast before this security update. Now every once in awhile there will be extreme multitask lag when I hit the button inside an app it takes a good second or 2 for the app to shrink into the multitask menu. Then scrolling is smooth and so is swiping away but opening apps from that menu also takes a few seconds. And this whole problem lasts for about 10min. Anyone else have this problem? I flashed elementalx kernel and it fixed everything for the time being. But I'm upset I had to do this on a device well known for being buttery smooth. Could it be a stock kernel problem considering flashing a new one fixed it? I tried everything before that like clearing cache, reset, reboots, none of those deemed results the lag still occurred sometimes.
While I can't say it was right after the update. I've noticed some lagging big time also. Seems to happen mostly with Waze and Next SMS by Handcart
Ok, I'm struggling with this for days and it drives me crazy. After updating to APD1 my fingerprint scanner is much worse and the responsiveness sucks. It used to work well and usually it unlocked the phone on the first try. But I think because of the update it stopped working flawlessly. It doesn't read my finger so well sometimes I need to try few times to unlock the phone. There is also a block for few seconds after the fingerprint is wrongly read. I didn't have this earlier. When I tried to update my fingerprint in settings, the procedure change and now you need to read the fingerprint and take few seconds and repeat. It takes ages to add new finger.
Am I the only one with this problem? I have about 100mails with photos from cerberus because of wrongly read fingerprint.
Or maybe my scanner is broke?

Agreed I have also noticed same issue thought it was just me tho
No problem with mine. It works just as well before the update and I'm on APD1 as well.
No problem with mine as well.
No problem here either after updating to APD1. Same as before. Maybe you should wipe all your fingerprint and record it again.
My wifes s7 is having a problem and she locks herself out alot. My s7e is working amazing. Maybe one fail a day but its my error not the phone.
tapped on #datbombv7EchoRom
it only looks like yours mine is fien too
I'm running stock android 7.1.1 on a Nexus 6p and there's a dramatic lag in scrolling response. When the screen is scrolling quickly and I put down my finger to stop the scroll there is a huge lag before the scrolling stops. About half a second or more. It seems to occur in all apps (and even system settings menus). I've had this problem since buying the phone a couple weeks ago. It's driving me nuts. I never have this problem with my iPad, MacBook or even my ancient nexus 4. The odd thing is that if instead of just putting down my finger I drag my finger slightly (in any direction) then the lag almost disappears, but obviously that's a very awkward thing to do, especially when none of my other devices require it. Does anybody else have this problem (and hopefully a solution)?
I've talked to Google customer support. They told me to clear the cache of every app (yes that does take quite a while) and to clear the partition cache. This did not resolve the problem and now they want me to do a factory reset, which apparently is the last step before hardware warrantee measures. I'd love to know if this is a common problem.

Hi, I made some tests in your issue doesn't occur on my 6P with stock 7.1.1.
Sent from my interstellar 6P
same here

You aren't the only person who has experienced this issue but I haven't had it happen. I don't know if anyone found a solution but if you do a search in this section you should find a thread very similar to yours with a lot of responses. I think some people experienced the issue after updating to 7.1.1

Thanks, I'll have a look. (Tried searching before but didn't find anything.)
For me the problem predates 7.1.1
I found the source of my scroll lag issue. I sometimes enable the magnification gesture in the accessibility settings (because I often use a particular transit app that has insanely small icons). I realized that when I have this setting turned on the scrolling gets laggy. Turning off the magnification gesture seems to solve the problem completely. Not sure if there's any workaround other than disabling the gesture setting.
Hi folks
I received my OP2 in July 2016, and this issue has been a mild periodic annoyance. As I approach the end of my warranty, I want to be 100% confident that this issue is software rather than hardware... (so rather than a fix, my highest priority is confirming that I do not have a hardware defect)
The issue is that the screen rotation will stop working for most, but not all apps (OnePlus Camera is the sole exception, it seems). It will rotate normally for a couple weeks and then I'll notice in some app, usually YouTube or Facebook first, that the screen orientation won't rotate anymore. Once I notice it in any app, no other app rotates either except the stock camera. I have been experiencing this symptom on-and-off for most of the time I've had the device, spanning multiple OOS releases (currently 3.5.8 and still happening).
A reboot fixes the condition, then it works fine for a week or two and comes back. OnePlus support suggested a factory reset, which I've done pursuing this issue before, and it didn't help (it immediately helped, obviously, but the issue did return on the same schedule as before).
I had my OP2 rooted, but still using the stock ROM otherwise, for several months (to be able to use Adblock). I reverted to 100% stock configuration pursuing this issue, it happened the same before/during/after the time it was rooted.
I have checked out the accelerometer with the app "Test Your Android" and watched the graph in the "gravity sensor" test. When the phone is in its non-rotating state and I rotate the phone, the graph lines cross but the app stays in portrait. This makes me think the phone knows it has rotated. I reboot the phone, redo the same test, and the graph looks similar except the app now rotates as well (ironic, really).
Is there a background service for "screen orientation" similar to how Play Services provides GPS information to other apps? If so, am I right in suspecting that the service responsible for answering the question, "what way is the device oriented currently?" is either not answering, or answering incorrectly?
I would prefer not to go to a third party ROM just to test this as I'm very happy with the current config of my device, other than this issue popping up from time to time. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!
OOS has a tonne of services running under android system continuously. Screen orientation feedback might be one of them. I haven't used OOS in months. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue since a reboot solves it. If it is too frustrating then try testing it on a custom rom. You can switch back to stock once you are sure it was a problem in OOS or not.

The more I think about it, the more stupid it seems to have a device that is rather well-supported by custom ROM devs and to not try some out.
I'll shop around for a ROM and give it a shot. I'm thinking and hoping this is strictly a software issue.

In case you want suggestions, try these:
Bliss
Halogen
Validus
Lineage 13
Well, I have the same issue on my OP2 intermittently and it does not matter which rom I am using. In addition to OOS, I have had this issue on Marshmallow Cyanogenmod / Nougat Lineage based roms. Sooner or later it always returns. It seems to happen after longer uptime periods. E.g. with OOS3 I had an uptime stretch of 40+ days (without a reboot), so during this time I experienced the autorotation issue multiple times. It seems to get fixed by itself, but then comes back again. A reboot fixes it usually for longer period of time. As I am now on a custom rom, which is updated quite often, at least once of twice a week, the uptime stretches are not that long and I do not experience this issue often. I have noticed that the step counting sensors also stop working intermittently.
On rooted lineage based rom you can manually restart the sensors with following terminal commands:
su
stop sensors
start sensors
Don't know if this works on OOS. I made a tasker task shortcut for this on my homescreen.
Interesting...I have had the problem on-and-off I'd say, sometimes it follows this ~2 week pattern, sometimes it'll go longer than a month with no issues that I've noticed. Of course, it's also fairly rare that I watch videos on my phone and this is the main time that I realize it won't rotate.
Of course, with the current trend being to make all videos square with unnecessary obnoxious text in the letterbox black space, I suppose I'll never need to rotate my phone again </sarcasm>.
Prior to utkarsh102's suggestions I had already flashed AOSPExtended so I'm going to try rolling with this for a short time, if any issues surface (unrelated to my rotation issue) I'll try another ROM. Given that I'm trying to diagnose this issue before my warranty runs out (yeah, shoulda done it sooner, I know) I'll need to have a usable solution that can run stable for weeks uninterrupted to catch this again, if it's going to happen again.
FYI OnePlus support was entirely unhelpful about this issue. They completely disregarded the fact that it is intermittent and was not currently happening when I reported it to them. They were not able to suggest any diagnostic effort I could take to narrow down the issue further. Viewing the accelerometer readings was my own idea, not theirs. That suggestion absolutely should have come from them.
I do know I'm/we're not isolated in having this issue as there are other forum posts on various sites complaining of it.
I'll keep this thread updated with my findings, in the meantime anyone who has experienced this issue please chime in. It would be helpful to present to OnePlus, though I get the impression they won't care as they seem to have classified the 2 as a legacy product at this point. It's not like we're trying to get parts for a dot-matrix printer here.
Edit, October 2017, to provide an update without bumping the thread:
I've been using AOSPExtended on a constant basis since my last update to this thread and while I have experienced a variety of other issues, this particular one with the screen rotation has not affected me. My uptime has never been super long, but long enough at times that I should have seen this issue if it were going to happen following the same pattern as before.
So after updaing to android 10 ive been experiencing this issue. My fingerprint has been buggy basically:
Either the fingerprint light just doesn't appear and it says that i moved my finger or something(I had this issue on some custom roms, which is the reason why none of the custom roms stuck on me) or
the fingerprint lights up for a split second and then just disappears.
Anyone else having this issue?
TBH, it started working slow after i updated it to Android 10, but after removing and adding fingerprint again, now its even faster than Android 9.
Do you have "show taps" turned on in your developer options?
