Screen will not turn on during an incoming call - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA
In the last month or so, every time i get a call, my screen will not turn on. To answer the call i must press the power button, pull down the call notification and press answer. The phone is ringing and vibrating until i press the power button.
I am using the newest nougat (7.1.1) on my Nexus 6p. (i use sec. 9 of this guide to update my phone.)
After searching on every forum using google and usually get old posts for old and not updated devices I've decided to post here.
Since i'm not new to android and consider myself not a noob, I came across this in the notification settings:
The phone app is shown under "Shown silently" and tagged as Silenced:
TinyPic
And I cant change this "silenced" mode.. as you can see here:

**Sorry for the images, i cant upload because i have less than 10 posts :angel:
What should i do? Factory reset is my least favorite option. Is there anther way to change these settings?
Thank you so much!

I am having the same issue over the past month or so. Am running the stock nougat beta version with locked bootloader. Other call services like Skype, WhatsApp, etc. wake up the phone screen in incoming calls.

You might want to consider using a custom dialer instead of the stock phone app. You could also try clearing the cache for that particular app and if that doesn't work try wiping the system cache. You can also download the apk for that app and reinstall over the factory version, which might reset the settings.

Rereading how you updated your phone I think you made a mistake in not doing a clean install. You might be using an old version of the phone app that isn't compatible with Nougat. I don't see the same selections as you under my phone app. I would definitely download the latest apk for the phone app and install it over the version you are using,

Hello jhs39! Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it
I already tried to uninstalling and installing the phone app and currently using the latest version. (Google Phone 7.0.141193972)
Could you please recommend me a good alternative to the phone app. I dont want to download one with ads or something that will screw my phone.
Thanks again!

I like ExDialer because there are a lot of themes but the Pro Key is 3.99. I haven't used any other third party dialers so I can't recommend another one.

Hello again!
For everyone arriving for this post, i just want to say the only solution i found to be working is the factory reset.
I had no choice because i missed a lot of calls. and every alternative to the phone app wasn't in my taste.
Tnx jhs39 for the help!

I'm glad you got the problem resolved to your satisfaction.

Help!!!!! My play is dead (r800x)

So, I woke up this morning to find my phone off even thouight it was on the charger. Tried to turn it on and nothing happened just vibrates like it's going to turn on and then nothing. I have tried other batteries,hold the power button down and still nothing. I also can't even get into fastboot to do a recovery. I NEED HELP!!!! If anyone has any tips or hints please let me know it would be a lot of help, thanks
Was your bootloader unlocked?
Did you try to update it yesterday?

Yes it's unlocked anjd no i didn't but my guess is if the update was the problem it probably happen while i was sleeping because it was fine while i went to bed and i woke up to my phone being a paper weight
anyway to fix it or am i boned?

HOW TO Install CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) for Razr M (xt907)

I am running CM 10.2 by Skrilax - http://skrilax.droid-developers.org/cm10.2nightly/razrqcom/index.php?device=xt907 (Might be fine with the DHacker version also, but this is what I used.
Pretty much everything seems to work including GPS. I do not have Bluetooth anything so I can't speak to that. Some (maybe most) people seem to have difficulty getting it installed, but it can be done. There are a few tricks to it. Here's what worked for me:
I highly recommend using TWRP 2.6.0 as that's what I use and I know it works. Not sure whether other recoveries will function the same or not.
What you need:
1. The most recent version of CM 10.2 from the link above.
2. Gapps Core 4.3 - http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps 4.3
3. Root for 4.3 - http://download.chainfire.eu/342/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
1. Erase everything except the external sdcard. Do it three times. (Don't ask, just do it.)
2. Also Format Data - what the heck, do that 3 times too.
3. Install the CM 10.2 ROM, wipe dalvik and cache again and reboot into the system. DO NOT install anything else at this time for best results.
4. Let the OS boot all the way to the desktop.
5. Unlock the developer options by going into Settings\About Phone and tapping 8 times on Build number. (Only needs done one time, updates do not hide it again.)
6. In Developer options, change Root Access to "Apps and ADB". (Go ahead and set up whatever else you want in Settings.Do not install any apps or updates at this time.)
7. Reboot into Recovery. Install Gapps Core 4.3
8. Clear dalvik and cache and reboot into System. If it hangs on the Motorola logo, get back into Recovery and format data again. (This is why I said don't install apps or updates yet.)
9. Once the phone boots all the way, reboot into Recovery again and install Root using Supersu 1.43.
10. Clear dalvik and cache and reboot into System. If it hangs on the Motorola logo, get back into Recovery and format data again. (This is why I said don't install apps or updates yet.)
11. Once System has booted, you can update SuperSu in the Google Play Store. The first time you open it, it will want to update the binary. It's very important that you choose the option to do it from Recovery. Your phone will reboot into Recovery, update the binary and then boot back into System.
12. Once all this is done, so are you. Restore your apps, allow Google Play to do any updates, and customize the layout to your tastes.
Note: Once you get a successfully installed 10.2 setup, you can dirty flash the nightlies. Always clear dalvik and cache. And always backup your apps before flashing anything if you want to make your life easier.
ENJOY!!!
Going to give it a go with CWM I'll let you know how it goes.
Well I got the rom to work but I could not get it to boot after loading gapps. I tried wiping data but no joy!
Hey, Thanks for the very clear update instructions - I'm now on CM 10.2!
I am not able to successfully root though. SuperSU complains:
"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manualyl re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"
I have tried to reflash the SuperSU zip posted here multiple times to no avail...
Thoughts?
EDIT: Solved with http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
Flashed TWRP and I was able to get it up and running having the same issue with root going to try the file above and I'll update again.
edit
*** the supersu 1.51 file worked for me as well. ***

I'm still having issues. I got the root to work but everytime I reboot the device I have wipe data or it hangs on the boot logo.
---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------
Restored back to carbon rom 1.8. I may try again after a few more dailies are out. As this is my primary device I can not have the issues I saw. Admittedly it may be something that I did wrong and not the rom.

Got this up and running last night and no issues so far for me. I'm wondering though if any custom kernels work with 10.2? I was curious about the vanquishpuppiesn12 kernel.

can you confirm if rear mic is working when taking videos? this has been the only hangup for me on the 4.2.2 ROMs...
I doubt it, since that functionality is probably kernel related, but still just curious...
thanks!
Ok I noticed that I had somehow installed the wrong TWRP I installed 2.6.0 today and I have so far had good luck phone is up and running and seems to be stable. At first I had some issues with a few apps throwing errors during the mass install when I sync'ed with Google but a manual download after and they installed just fine. Also the new camera app called focal has some issues for me it opened and took pics but images in gallery are blank. However the stock camera app seems to working fine at least for stills I have not tried video yet.
I've got this all working too, including root. But I've been noticing about a second delay when pressing power to unlock the phone. Sometimes it delays so long that I press power again. So when the phone does wake up, the screen goes off again from my double press of impatience. I'm running the 0907 nighlty

FWIW, never needed to wipe data multiple times and I flashed everything at once. That said, still a good procedure to follow
Also, @georgeascott, that's a known bug. It tends to SOD on occasion... Not much to do to fix except maybe overclocking

Any plans for safe strap support? My bootloader is apparently permanently locked. Stock isn't terrible.. You can disable and hide bloatware.. But it would be really nice to have pie instead of soft buttons and restart and screen shot on the power menu

Probably not, but you can get some of that functionality with root alone if you know how to mod systemui and stuff like that. Probably not the answer you're looking for but that's probably what it is...
Can always hope someone will Dev for it though

everything I've run into *works*

Scrolling and everything is kind of choppy, I mean it is definitely livable, but still choppy.
netizenmt,
Thx a lot for your help. I`m now on cm10.2, too.
But there seemed to be some bugs.
1.I cannot install any apps from Google Play Store, or it hangs on the MOTO logo after reboot.
2.I can take calls, but cannot reach the 3G network.
P.S.When I try to use QPST to configure the phone, the QPST tells Serious error encountered, write to phone aborted.
I've installed CM10.2 two weeks ago and everything is working great! The first time I flashed it I got stuck at the CM boot animation... After ten minutes spent watching it I forced it to reboot: stuck again. At this point I booted back to recovery, followed thoroughly netizenmt instructions (wipe three times, really!!!), installed CM10.2, Installed gapps, installed supersu v1.43 and so on (follow all the steps netizenmt told us!)... Everithing worked fine then. At this point I changed build.props to make the phone works in GSM mode.

If you go to settings/developer options and scroll down to HW overlays. Check the box to disable HW overlays. That should help with the tearing/chopping.
Also, maps FC all over the place as soon as you're using GPS.

WiFi problem on TW 4.4.2

I suffer from a buggy WiFi after I installed the Official TW 4.4.2 poland. When I try to turn the wifi on, it takes a very long time, then I have to re-enter the password of my home hotspot again ( each time the wifi is on ).
I tried many solutions like : factory reset, flash leak firmware, flash custom rom. But none of it corrected the problem.
When I searched through the forum I found out that I'm not the only one having this problem, as samsung changed the wifi driver in the latest rom.
Anyone that have the same problem or could help solve it feel free to express his mind.
Thanks
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
...Really. No reply. I have had this issue from the moment I flashed the Poland firmware and it just won'tgo away.
At first it wouldn't turn on after initial setup and google account starts restoring. At least now (after flashing and reflashing and redownloading and and ... I can't even remember now) it comes back on after a reboot but it takes a while to actually come on and I have to re-enter ssid and password etc EVERY time!... I change my mind now...:silly: take me back to a speedy 4.3 = ( The longer I use the same ROM, the happier I get with my fine-tuning - And then I go change ROM. Always regret it. I just want that one feature from that ROM integrated into mine but before I know it, I'm flash happy for days on end trying to discover a new ROM which is never better than months of tweaking the ROM you already had! This update is terrible. It lags here, there and every 15seconds it feels like.
Can you please tell me if you've managed to sort out your WiFi issue?
..Sorry for my moan. In a way (and I apologise for this) but I'm almost glad I've found someone else with the same issue.
Today I will find the solution. And let you know when I do

I'm happy to have your support. and I assure you that I'm looking desperately to find a solution too. back in th general thread (Official kitkat for N9005 ) I commented on 4 people having this issue. there was no support that's why I thought I'd come to Help and troubleshooting thread.
Yeh there are a couple of others with this issue but not many surprisingly. I made my first comment regarding this issue in that thread but it didn't seem to affect many.
I have downloaded every ROM that can be flashed with 4.4.2 Bootloader and I'm just about to begin trying them all. Seeing as though the problem has come in through Odin I'm not sure if flashing these ROM's through CWM will affect it.
...About to find out

OMG:laugh::good:
First one I tried.. well, it's about the 4th ROM I've tried in the last few days but IT WORKS IT WORKS!
After Initial setup it usually lasts 15-20 seconds before itauto disconnects and I know from then on I have problems.
The first switch on, which is like the 3rd step in setup, Wifi flicked 'On' almost instantly and I knew it was different straight away. I've rebooted and it auto connected to my wifi!

I got the remote controls force close too. I'm gonna try jack away right away abd see if things are gonna go as well as the went for you. But I didn't understand the sd card part of the process. Did you removed it right after you flashed the rom, befire it restarted ?

By the way, the remote control (2 of them) are for controlingyour phone from distance to lock it fir exemple if it you got robbed. It's samsung staff. So you may just wanna uninstall it

I turned the phone off completely. Then took battery off and removed the SD. Put battery back in and booted into Recovery (Vol_up + home). Then I plugged in my USBHost adapter with a 32gb USB stick which had the Jackaway ROM zip on it. Then just went to 'Install zip' -> 'choose zip from /storage/usbdisk' and selected 'Jackaway ROM.zip'
If you don't have a USB On-the-go cable, then plug into your computer and copy the ROM file to /sdcard (make sure you don't copy the file to /ExtSdCard otherwise it won't be there when you boot into recovery without the SDcard! Then turn phone 'Off'. Remove SD. andboot into Recovery. Erase data/factory reset, format /system. Choose 'Install zip from /sdcard'. Wulla
Let meknow if you get stuck

Yeh I figured that was it. In titanium backup there are 3 x 'remote controls'. Don't know which one is causing the problem so i'll freeze them one by one and sort it.

Installing GApps in China

I've been successful before installing a new ROM when I was over VPN but recently I've tried to change ROMS and now when I restart my phone (after an install and the rom checks my apps) the phone is trying to connection to Google to make a connection but the phone constantly says that there is no connection. I know for a fact their is, if I reimage without GApps and connect to the same wifi I can log on to the internet.
Anyone have any idea how I can get around this? I hate not having my GApps on my phone and no access to the play store.

Well, China has internet censorship, aka GFW. So you gotta either connect to a wifi capable of accessing the real internet or plug your sim card out and skip all the steps to enter the system first. Then you can sideload shadowsocks apk where you can set up your server information to circumvent the GFW. Or maybe just simply set up your VPN account.

Every time I try to flash GApps after the initial flash of ROM (i.e. I flash the rom, reboot, reboot to recovery, flash gapps, reboot, constantly receive error messages).
I'll do some research about the shadowsocks. Thank you.
I've also tried using wangdoujia, which is great except for all the spam I receive. I'd prefer not to have this though at the moment I might have to use this app store until I move back to the US in July.

I know this. My work has a direct line to Hong Kong but the problem is when connected to the wifi the phone says "Connected but no internet" but when I log into a browser I obviously have internet even though the error exists.
I will try again flashing but without my sim card in this time to see if it works. I'll update here what happens.
Ill also look into shadowsocks but if you see my comment above I always get errors when I try to flash GApps after my inital ROM install.

You are welcome, buddy.
As you see. I live in Kunming, China. So if you want to using Gapps, you should do like this.
Flash ROM and reboot to recovery flash GApps.
Unpluging your sim card and booting
Skip the WIFI setting
Using shadowsocks NAT mode.

I have missing something. when you boot in the system, the WiFi connection with a exclamation point. Do Not Worry About That. Justing Go this link download shadowsocks from github.
From now on, you need a shadowsocks account. If you could using Google in your PC/Mac, you have to find and buy one.
The other way is VPN. Many VPN have been blocked by GFW. I using Astrill in my Linux, Android and Windows. So fast and stable. You may try it.

I'll try what you said and see if it works.
When you say a shadowsocks account, do you mean to set up my own server? It seems this is the only way I have found to use shadowsocks. Is there another way to get servers?
I currently am using Astrill, AirVPN and Torguard and they each work intermittently recently due to the recent changes. I hope this shadowsocks will fix my issues.

I still can't get past the Connection Screen. I was able to bypass it by flashing the rom, loading into the rom, reboot into recovery, flash gapps, and reboot. However The setup wizard kept crashing and I couldn't break from this screen. So I'm still stuck at the moment.
I'm downloading the stock firmware and will try flashing this to see if I get any better results.

Unable to connect to the camera because it is being used by other apps or disabled...

Unable to connect to the camera because it is being used by other apps or disabled due to security policies.
This is the error message I keep getting whenever launching my camera. I've tried factory reset but the error still persists. I can try and get a logcat but I'll be completely honest I've never done my own logcat before.
Any help appreciated, thanks for looking.
Does your camera work after a fresh reboot? Does it stop working after awhile? There might be a runaway app hogging your camera. Usual culprits are camera apps, face unlock and custom lockscreens.

Rebooting doesn't help. The front camera works fine until I switch over to the rear camera.
Did you change anything in the build.prop?

I added the line to add navigation bar to phone (it doesn't work)
From my experience so far with the Axon 7, tweaking certain things on the build.prop crashes the phone. When I tried to make enable multi-windows by changing the "user" to "userdebug", it caused the same problem you were having. Nothing fixed it; not restarting, system wipe, changing the build.prop to its original setting... nothing. I simple had to restore my phone from a previous backup. Hopefully, you did do a clean backup of your device. If not, then that is a common rookie mistake. Sorry to break this down to you. I hope that this was helpful.
Only time I've seen this error, is when I downloaded a different camera from the Playstore and tried to open it the same time my stock camera was running in the background.
You don't have any other camera's installed or have an app that is open that uses your camera (like Snapchat, ect..)?
I'm sure you don't, but just throwing something out to try/check.
Just restore system from previous backup like B4oE said, if you did not make a backup just download one of the twrp backups uploaded by the users around the forums. make sure to download the correct version either b20 or b20_boot. what version are you on? did you root using tenfar + locked bootloader?

I rooted with an unlocked bootloader. I imagine I need b20-boot then?

Yup, you can use the system uploaded by DrakenFX I guess.

I just ended up deleting the stupid camera and installing OPEN CAMERA from play store and it works 10000 times better.
