After updating to 6.0.1 my phone been giving me issues. Its been over a few months and I've done everything. Restoring back to factory to LP and the issues are still there. Just found this software on the Playstore called "Wakelock" and been using it for several days and been working for me. No more lagging, rebooting or freezing issues. Hope this works for you guys as well!

wakelock doesnt work for me. it still freezes then requires a battery pull. I ordered a used note 4, will be using that one on 4.4.4 stock maybe and mess around with this one when I have time.
Thanks for the tip! This does seem to improve things (at the expense of some battery life). #4 is the setting I'm using successfully (in the app).

Since I updated my i9505 3 months ago. Instagram is causing serious battery problems to my phone. I've already tried to things that may solve that like, uninstall the App, clear cache, update the App to the latest version, but nothing worked. The only thing that appears to do some effect is forcing close the App. But as soon as the App gets back to run in the background, the drain starts again. Instagram in draining 60% of my battery. Much more than the screen and the Android Os. Please, anyone who had this was able to fix this?

Hello Droid Geeks & Devs, a sincere advice/help needed .. just fed up off two major issues with my N4. Already tried many of the things available on forums but still the problem persists since 3 months now. So it's time I share my saga and possibly get the suggestions/fix or atleast a workaround.
OK, I'll start from the beginning.. I was and still am fully stock on Kitkat 4.4.4 and bootloader locked. I guess it was September during which i
updated my Google camera app from play store. And since this small update my N4 is ruined, my camera stopped working after a few hours ..only solution was to do a reboot & it would work fine for few hours and again "can't connect to camera". I thought a update might fix it but it didn't ..just forgot i had a camera in my phone for few months.
But guess what since October,the camera not working cycle was as it is, but the added problem was sudden infinite awake times in battery stats showing the cause of drastic battery drains (40% drain in nights to wakeup to drained dead phone in morning).again the temp fix was a reboot. But when i closely looked at the trends, I found the relation that while my camera is working the wake-locks are just fine, but the moment the cam stops working the continuous long Awake starts till it eats up all the battery and eventually lead to a reboot to be back to normal.Screenshots attached.
The upcoming Android 5.0 update in Nov was a major hope for me, that this should fix the bug.I happily sideloaded the lollipop update but still no luck ..in fact i have got added lollipop bug of WiFi drops for no reason.Also trying my luck with the new 5.0.1 lets see how it turns out.
Please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.
Still no luck with 5.0.1
Please Anyone can suggest something ??

Hi guys.
I'm here to share a problem I'm having with my Nexus 6P: it often gives a crash randomly, needing to be restarted by force.
This does not happen because of a specific app and sometimes happens even at boot , when Google logo still not appeared.
I already using the phone about two weeks.
I received him with rom stock 6.0.1 and had the upgrade to Nougat available.
I thought the upgrade to 7.0 would correct the problem, but it was not what happened.
From the update I also felt that the crashes were more frequent when the battery was at a very low level, between 20 and 15% (as commented in a reddit threat that I can't copy here).
Following some recommendations that I found , I formatted the Nexus 6P with the factory settings to see if the problem returned.
Yes, it happened again.
I formated again and was gradually installing my apps to check if it was not a specific app.
I did it at last three times.
On these occasions, apps like Google Keep, Duolingo, ES File Explorer, Google Fit, Podcast Republic and even the Play Store gave the crash.
I formatted again and installed each app one by one again to try to identify a culprit and had the same results.
To try to work around the problem, I decided to go for a clean install of the entire OS with the latest build using the SDK (adb and fastboot).
Even with the flash of the latest build I continued to have this crash problem.
So I decided to go for custom roms.
I installed Pure Nexus and Sinless, and continued having problems with crash.
I tried to install the CyanogenMod, but failed. After flashing the rom, GAPPS and vendor image, the device crash in the Google logo.
My last attempt was to go deeper and replace the kernel as well.
I installed ElementalX (7.0) and Pure Nexus as ROM.
In the beginning, I still had many crashes, so decided to make some changes in the kernel ElementalX.
In a desperate attempt, I decreased the CPU clock all to minimum (1248 MHz).
Interestingly the crashes started to occour less frequently, but they still happen randomly and unexpectedly.
I have no idea if this reduction in CPU speed had any effect or was placebo.
What matters is that I'm still having crashes and I wonder if anyone has any idea of this solution to my problem.
Thank you guys!
PS.: the return of the phone is not an option. I'm in Brazil.
PS2.: sorry for my bad english.
Wow you have exhausted every idea... Return sounds like all that's left unless you wanna try putting the phone in the oven to see if it's just bad solder.

I'm thinking you've got some damaged or corrupted internal storage there.

Don't mean to scare you, but that is exactly what was happening to me right before going into an unrecoverable bootloop. Nothing I tried revived the device, although there have been some that have been able to. I ended up RMA'ing my device as nothing I did brought it back to life. You might be in a different situation but just giving you a heads up.
*Bump*
Stock 7.1.1 and rooted here. I've been on the official 7.1.1 release for our 6P's since early December, and for the past week or so, I've been experiencing freezing as well. I'd be in the middle of typing in Hangouts, streaming music in the car via bluetooth and Spotify, or just waking the phone up from sleep. For the past few days, I've been getting 3-4 freezes per day.
On rare occasions, I've left the phone alone to settle, and it returns to normal, but more times than not, a hard reset is the only 'fix'; until the next freeze.
I reluctantly wiped the phone, unrooted, flashed stock 7.1.1 and re-rooted all via NRT last night. The phone froze again this morning coming off the charger...
Granted, it decided to restore 528mb's worth of WhatsApp history as soon as I unplugged it (why it didn't restore on charger overnight is beyond me though). Will update if it freezes again.
The phone runs butter smooth with zero issues other than these freezing occurrences though. MO, the 6P is the best all-rounded phone currently available, even if it's a year old already.
Appreciate any help or suggestions!!
That's odd try ex kernel and over clock or try HEBF manager on play store
Quick update. Couldn't bear the multiple freezes per day, so I called Google to ask for help. Apparently I've done everything I can on my end (including a factory reset and updating to the latest firmware), so they sent out a replacement 6P to me free of charge. They'll also be covering the courier/shipping costs for my old 6P too. Fantastic customer service. Kudos to them!! I called them Tuesday morning (20th Dec) Australian time, and received my replacement 6P Friday afternoon (23rd Dec). Very quick indeed
Half a day after setting up my replacement 6P, including updating to 7.1.1, I started getting the same symptoms as my old 6P. Freezing, unresponsiveness, etc. Persisted for another day and had enough. I've since done a full wipe and downgraded back to the final 6.0.1 release, and it's been stable as a rock for 3 days now. No freezes, lagginess, nothing.
So I deduce it might actually be a software issue with 7.1.1, and not a hardware problem. It appears a growing number of Pixel and Pixel XL users are also experiencing random freezes on their new phones running 7.1.1 too...
Looks like I'll stick with 6.0.1 until Google makes a formal announcement and something is done about 7.1.1. I've missed Xposed and GravityBox too, so 6.0.1 is all good. Most importantly, it's stable
Had you ever tried booting into safe mode to see if maybe an app was causing the issue? Maybe a compatibility issue between an installed app(s) and 7.1.1

Thanks for the pro tip. I did consider doing that with the replacement 6P, but the only apps that I had installed were the stock Google ones that came with 7.1.1, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SwiftKey. I just assumed if such popular apps were the cause, a lot more people would have pinpointed them as the problem?
I did however read a few users claiming SwiftKey to be the culprit prior to RMA'ing my old device, but even after uninstalling that from my old phone, I was still getting the freezing issues.

This version is pretty stable imo. I've encountered only one issue: After I use the GPS, the phone heats up and it starts draining battery. This can be solved by restarting the phone after using GPS stuff (Google Maps etc). I rarely use the GPS so this doesn't bother me. Other than that, performance is good and battery is the same as on LP. All sensors are working correctly.
Other than GPS everything good?
4G?

the bugs of this phone are a russian roulette, the phone is the same but there are huge differences of how the phone is bugged from piece ti piece. for me working all except the proximity sensor, battery is good but I use greenyfy and have debloated all.
you must try mm and see if you will be lucky or not.
see here for more info on bugs detected

Only problem for me (and it happens also to others here) is sometimes the screen freeze, music/video still playing, haptic feedback on buttons, but nothing else, after ~20 seconds everything freeze and need to hard reboot. This happens ~1 a day.
Had a few call freezes on 223M , 184M was better on battery IMO
But since latest TWRP installed , getting 5 hrs screen on time to my personal 6hrs record on .184M
Bear in mind , its stock with junk removed , rooted etc etc
