Google play issues? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone experiencing Google play issues on their Nexus 6p. No wifi or cellular data? In order for it to work I have to delete the host file but then after it does the same thing. Doesn't work.

A bit confused, Google play, no wifi and Mobil data, why you delete the hosts file. It's not related to each other.
Which rom do you use, and what did you do or what happens that you don't have wifi or Mobil data. Are you on a clean flashed rom ?

I'm actually on pure Nexus room 7.1.1 all of a sudden. It started doing that out of nowhere. I am connected to WiFi and do have data. Not sure why deleting the host file fixes it but after a while it works after I keep deleting the host file. I never had this issue before till 3 days ago, which is very strange. Maybe it was a Google play store update?

Ah, ok, that sounds different, first I thought you have no wifi and Mobil data. But no, switching between nougat and Oreo these days and no Google update leads me to such issues. If you like to stay on your current rom, wipe cashes and system and dirty flash your rom, maybe with updated gapps. Perhaps the lazy way will fix your issue
Edit: I guess you tried wiping playstore and playservices data before .

Oreo isn't that bad. Try the superxe Oreo rom, battery life is good, nice aroma install, it's a good rom.

I figured it out, it's Google play updated itself silently so I reverted back and now it works flawless.

Google Play Services keeps FC

I couldn't be the only one with this issue. I've tried stock Nougat, rooted and unrooted. I've also tried Substratum latest version, Nougat. No matter what I get a FC by Google Play Services every few minutes. Tried clearing cache and data for Play Services, it seemed to help for some time then the problem came right back. This happened on my 5X which I'm selling now, as well as my 6P. Anybody else having this issue?
Until it is cleared up I'm sticking with 6.0.1.
If you don't have the latest version of Play Services you can try updating to the newest version. Check your installed version against the newest one on APK Mirror.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
Getting FC on 6.0.1 now too. Got the appropriate Play Services from APK Mirror but no improvement. Enabled all permissions for it. Only thing I can think of now is installing apps one at a time until I start getting FC

Hello all! I have the same problem on my Nexus 6P brand new...
Play Services stops all time, i cannot download or update a thing from play store, i cannot communicate with google servers (only some times)

I've tried: Flashing different stock roms, flashed pure nexus custom rom... also tried bunch of different gapps packs... made an nandroid backup from another nexus 6p working and put it on mine... etc.. nothing happens... there is also a tricky thing on wifi connections... i have to wait much too long for it recognizes the internet connetion (it connets fine at the network).. tried in 4 different houses, and with 3 different sims...
Anyone has a clue here? im done reading and trying.

Check your rom, under Settings > About Phone, verify your build number for example NBD91K or NBD90X for example. Most custom Rom's link the vendor img in the post somewhere. If your familiar with flashing then you shouldn't have a problem. If not use, skipsoft toolkit to help you root/flash or anything else android.

GPS causing reboots

I have been searching to fix this issue for days and no luck.
Whenever I use an app that needs GPS (Google Maps, camera), my phone automatically reboots when I am using a Nougat Rom on my Moto X Play.
Anyone have a solution for this? The roms run great other than this bug.
Thanks

Which ROM are you using and which one did you come from?
I went from CM13 to 7.x and had both GPS and mobile data problems until I went back to stock and then finally back again to 7.x. I dunno if that was the solution but I've had no problems since (currently on AOSP Extended, latest).
I flashed a bunch of them and never had a problem. Just before this problem i was using 6.01 Spectrum.
I re flashed stock and then went back to nougat pure nexus but same problem no matter what nougat rom I flash on moto x play.

Ah, unfortunately I'm not much help here then.
I would suggest going to your ROM's thread and posting there, with a logcat.
Good luck!
I have narrowed it down a bit. When my mobile data is on, and phone is using gps then I get the soft reboot. Anyone?
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/B...issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13372
GPS causing reboot
I used to have the same issue on my device.
Everything came back to normal after modifying my APN settings...
I'm not 100% sure which particular setting made the difference, but it seems that the flash process have modified the original settings, so I just entered the pre-flash settings that I had written down before my fist rom flashing attempt.

Stick with PureNexus or update to Oreo?

I'm currently running the latest version of PureNexus and debating installing Android Oreo. Are there any huge downsides? Is it buggy, slow, etc? In other words, is it daily driver ready for someone who uses their phone all day for music, video, games, EVERYTHING and still wants to tweak the os to their needs.

Unless you're worried about the security updates, just stay on PN. PN for Oreo should be out soon as well.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks.

I was on PN since I got my 6P and updated to Oreo as soon as it came out. I don't regret the decision at all. Battery life is as good or better than PN (I routinely end the day with 4+ hours of SOT and 35-40% left. Your experience may vary depending on usage), performance is wonderful, and I haven't found any major bugs yet. All of my favorite mods work (EX kernel, Pixel mod, Camera NX, WakeBlock, and a few others I'm forgetting).
The only downside is some modifications require a bit more work. For example, to resize the navigation bar and add dynamic coloring I had to extract, modify, and push framework-res.apk instead of having those options built right into the settings menu. There's no custom quick settings tiles and I can't change the number of rows/columns, but that isn't a big deal and I've learned to live without it for now.
As stated above PN based on Oreo should be out within the next month or two. Beans posted an announcement on G+ yesterday explaining that he had a family emergency that slowed down development on PN O, but he is actively working on it as much as he can.

I went from PN to 8.1. Honestly, stick with PN. I used it for a couple days and I am downgrading right now. My battery life was significantly worse (on 7.1.2 I ended the day at ~40-50% battery. On 8.1 I was at ~20-30). I didn't notice anything great about Oreo and found myself missing PN.

Maybe your battery is just getting tired I'm finding the opposite Oreo 8.1 giving me excellent results.

Not sure aware of this or not, but beans posted in the PN thread he's working on Oreo for the angler. So you'll soon have the best of both.

Hey man, how did your downgrading go? I had the intention of downgrading today but somewhere messed up and now my phone is in a bootloop. What steps did you take?

I had that issue too. Spent waaaayyy to long trying to figure it out. I think 8.1 has a different encryption method. You need to wipe the phone completely and then do a nandroid restore (or flash PN)

Don't mean to sound like a complete noob, but how did you go on about wiping the phone completely? I've now tried so many things, reflashing TWRP, reinstalling stock firmwares, using Wug's Nexus Rooting kit, ... I can acces fastboot, what do I need to do to be able to reinstall TWRP? Because when I try it right now, I can't acces it. It goes back into the boot loop.
Cheers

In TWRP, format /Data and the internal storage. I also formatted /system just to be safe.

What do you think?
I have been testing some android roms however 2 of them (tested already) keep failing or disconnecting me of the network (mobile), first i tought that was a hw failure on it, however when the device gets warm through an app it disconnects the mobile network and after 1min goes back.
Roms tested:
-> Pure android 7.1.1 Nougat
-> LineageOS 15
Checked online and seems to be that encrypted OS it will slow down performance, would like to know your toughts, i think i'm trying Cyanogen to check the device behavior, toughts?
**updates**
Changed to CyanogenMod 14 without encription and moved to franco's kernel and is very stable. However gets very warm
I tested the game on
LineageOS 14
Stock 7.1.1
Stock 5.1.1
I played enough rounds and no problem. The best game was on stock 5.1.1

The first time I flashed I wiped Davlik, Cache, System and Data then flashed the zip from TWRP. For updates I wipe Davlik, Cache and System and then flash the updated zip. The latest version can be found here.

Wifi is disconnecting on screen off

So I tried 3 differents roms and all of them had the same issue and I can't fix it.
I tested with stock rom, stock kernel or blu spark kernel. I tried bliss rom and now I am using Codename Phoenix rom.
But I always have the same issue after going to Android Pie, my wifi get disconnected after a few minutes of screen off. My global wifi_sleep_policy is to always enabled but it is not working.
Does anyone have a fix for it?

I was using stock 9.0.4 before trying the custom ROMs. Wouldn't the firmware be automatically updated ?
I will have a look into that, maybe reflash the firmware.

The you have 9.0.4 firmware, but try to flash again. Also make sure it's not a custom kernel issue.

My current rom is Codename Phoenix, I tried about 3 different kernel to make sure is not a kernel related.
My current baseband is mpsss.at.2.0.c4.7-00070-8998_gen_pack-2.132073.1.179387.1
If I flash the firmware/modem from OOS 9.0.5, will it break something?

So I reflash the firmware+modem form this page
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76943628&postcount=8
I flashed the 9.0.5 version, but the problem persist, after a few minutes of screen off the wifi just disconnect and I have to unlock and enter the app to receive the notifications.
I realized the problem is that for some reason whatsapp is being killed in the background even after I put it to not be battery optimized.
Will try to make it a sysapp to see if works

I fixed my wifi , it was caused by some new firmware installed in the router that had a bug that caused all my devices to disconnect when idle.
The new problem now is that my apps are being closed/killed after the screen is off for a few minutes I tried to turn off Baterry Optimization but it did not work.
If I put my phone to charge this behavior does not happen my phone does not kill the apps.

Thanks for the information. To help others you can mark the thread as [SOLVED] and add an info to the first post that it was your routers firmware and not the smartphone
After some time and a lot more of test I find out it wasnt my router firmware problem
The only thing that really solved the problem was installing this mod:
