Nexus Bugs In Update 6.0.1

So when I bought my Nexus 6P I knew I was going to get the latest updates as soon as Google released them. I also expected to find minor bugs because we are getting updates much faster as well.
What I was not expecting is to both, bugs that make for a nearly unusable device and minor annoying ones. For my device the bugs that hit me hard are;
Max Volume Bluetooth Speaker Bug - Most bluetooth speakers are stuck in max volume mode and can't be turned down. Distorts the audio and creates a situation were you could blow out the speaker. Not all speakers are effected.
No LTE On Boot - Annoying to have but "fixable" by putting the device in Airplane mode. Otherwise no Data or SMS until you do and hope your phone doesn't reboot in you pocket while waiting for an important message.
No Phone Calls - You can't make or receive calls. As a result you can't check VM either. No amount of Airplane mode or rebooting will fix it. Neither will the phone service menu.
My concern here is that Google hasn't patched these bugs yet, even after releasing another update to 6.0.1 M. For now I'm fine with downgrading to 6.0.0M but I'm missing out on updates.
To add to insult any ROM build with the 6.0.1 source is effected by these bugs, so I can't even use most ROMs unless I find an older version.
I guess my main question here is this:
Is this normal? Does Google usually go so long without patching the bugs?
Seems really silly to have a phone, but not be allowed to make or receive calls at all and not be able to send SMS or email unless you do a few tricks first. It's a phone. Don't they test these things?
Disclaimer: I already know not all 6P or Nexus devices are effected. That does add to my confusion as they all should be the same exact device.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that when I got the device I could do all these things however even downgrading will no longer allow phone calls. Something is retaining.

Well that's weird mate. I'm on 6.0.1 and have none of these problems.
I was experiencing awful battery life after the latest update but clearing the cache has made a huge difference

Have you tried reaching out to Google? It would be helpful if you could share how you upgraded to 6.0.1? As mentioned above did you clear cache? The more info you can provide; the faster someone can help you.

The Bluetooth volume issue is the only one I have and only on one of my speakers. The others with fine.

Huh, ya 6.0.1 here too and none of these issues are present.

Axon7 (A2017G) - Various Issues

Hello to everyone,
I am a new forum user even if I follow you by many years.
A few months ago I bought a Axon 7 (A2017G) and since then I've encountered software and hardware issues.
In particular, I upgraded to Nougat (versions 7 and 7.1.1) and I have experiencing loss of data connection and phone line. A simple restart of the terminal has always solved everything.
The fingerprint reader is no longer responsive as before and the camera focus has worsened significantly. I tried to make, several times, a factory reset but it did not do anything.
So I decided to return to marshmallow (B10).
The other problem is display related.
Everything is more clear when using the virtual keyboard. In practice, it is as if the display were disturbed, for a fraction of a second, by a sort of electric discharges. The phone works normally but it were annoying me a lot.
I have already taken steps to replace the device but nothing has changed. Which is your advise except to make a return of the phone?
Sorry for my english.

[Discussion] What are your problems with the 5T?

I have had this phone for more than 4 months now, and I have 2 problems with it (both software), which OnePlus failed to fix over several updates, even though they are aware of these problems.
My first problem is the panorama mode. This phone makes just the worst panoramas. My hands are a little shaky, and the pictures that come out are completely unacceptable (even though it doesn't have ois) for a "flagship killer". I had a Nexus 5X before, which made almost always perfect panoramas with a much worse camera. I feel like the devs put the panorama mode in the camera just so that it has the feature, but didn't spend any time on the algorithm.
My second problem, which is the bigger one is about bluetooth. First of all, the phone had/has a weird bug where if you turn on the bluetooth then go to the bluetooth menu to choose which device you want to connect to (either by long pressing the bt icon in the notification bar or from the settings app), the ui would freeze and you have to wait a half-a-minute or so, for the ui manager to restart (in older versions of oos, the phone itself restarted). Now in 5.1.1 it doesn't do this as often as it used to, but it still happens. The second issue with bluetooth is connectivity. Sometimes when I have my headset turned on and I turn on bluetooth on the phone it connects right away (like it should) and I am happy.
Other times (most of the time actually) I have to manually select which device I want to connect to (bringing us back to freezing), and even then it still takes a couple tries for the phone to succesfully connect.
So these are my 2 issues with this phone, I hope they will get fixed soon. I feel like the dev team is always working on the next phone after release, and they don't spend anywhere near enough man-hours on released device support.
Other than these, I'm loving this device, it's fast, has great battery life and does everything well.
Do you have these bugs, do they bother you or do you have any other problems with the phone you would like to share?

I have to ask but have you done any factory resets? Never once heard of either of these issues

Yes, I have, I clean installed 5.1.0. I read about both problems on the OnePlus forums, so I guess it's not just me. But I can try when I have some time to reinstall the phone. Btw, I am running oos 5.1.1 rooted, nothing else, so I don't think that is the problem.

Dont know about the panaroma mode but i face no issues like you mentioned regarding Bluetooth.
Try flashing an OOS based custom rom and see how that treats you.

my only main issue with this phone is the oil painting effect.

My issues are Oil Painting and broken Camera2 API

Camera post processing!

The way the Alert Slider works and how we can't customize it to our needs. But I guess this is a problem with all OnePlus phones.

U tried this?

Things I am not comfortable with are
1). Notification dropdown works even on lock-screen.
2). you can power off the device from Lock-screen.
Both are security concerns as someone can turn wi-fi and data off or power down the device if found or stolen.

I tried so many ROM but no luck.

PAINT JOB
it is simply horrible I got my sandstone white OP 5T chipped while inserting it in the original sandstone cover
this is insane

Anyone else feeling bad for having this phone?

Hi guys, I'm the owner of this device since december 2016. I was very happy when it first arrived, it was smooth, responsive, everything worked just fine and I was very happy with Xiaomi.
Later, Xiaomi just launched Redmi Note 4 and then my nightmare began. I was always searching for new MIUI features, and as such, I've installed as soon as possible a Custom MIUI China rom, like xiaomi.eu or MIUIBrasil.
Everything was just going well, but then I've noticed that Xiaomi released MIUI 8.5 on many devices with new features, and our device began to be a little "left behind" when it came to updates.
Later Xiaomi introduced MIUI 9, with the new features and so much more improvements, however, after MONTHS waiting, our phone just got a MIUI with and Android 6.0.1 on IT, they didn't even thought about updating to Android 7, on the excuse of hardware limitations (Oh yes, let's remind that apart from Camera, our phones are EQUAL to Redmi Note 4 in specs), anyway, I've already tried a few AOSP before, and now I thought that this was the time to give it a chance again...
However, with so many ROMs out there, I just thought, OK I'll try some before picking up one to be my daily. And then it began... OK, the first thing I missed from MIUI was the ability to record calls and block calls by choosing numbers from contact list (without having to type then manually), second, Network Type Dialog, which on MIUI I could see only three options (LTE, 3G and 2G) this saves battery and on my Country, my mobile company simply have a bug on their network, and if the network type 4G is selected when data is disabled, it will charge your phone anyway, everyday for using internet... (THAT's RIDICULOUS).
Another thing is the 3 finger screenshot, yes they're present I know, but on MIUI everytime you do this, the screen "freezes" and if its a list, it won't scroll, the same thing doesn't happen on AOSP, when you do Three Finger Screenshot on a list, it scrolls before taking Screenshot.
However, one may ask, Why you're not on MIUI then, if you like it so MUCH?
Ok, I'll answer this by explaining that, I CAN'T
Yes, you read it correctly, everytime I use a MIUI (I've tried many, MIUI Stable, MIUI China, Xiaomi.eu, MIUI 8.6, MIUI 8.3, even MIUI 8.2) and on ALL of them I have the same ISSUE i'm going to report now.
RANDOM REBOOTS after installing Magisk + Xposed combo.
When I got my hands on this phone, as I mentioned early, EVERYTHING worked like a charm, it never rebooted once, Xposed and Magisk were playing nice together, I could use modules from both Magisk and Xposed, and phone was amazing, but now, with newer versions of Xposed and Magisk, it doesn't work anymore.
OK, if I knew what combination I've used in the past, I could simply try them again, but the thing is that I don't, I don't remember which version of Xposed Framework I was using when everything was fine back 1 year and half from now, neither the Magisk version.
So I'm stuck with either using MIUI and having phone rebooting every now and then (it doesn't even REBOOT totally, it just doesn't turn on screen anymore and if you put screen against source of light you can barely see the BOOTLOGO animation Stuck, like if it were burned in on screen, it's weird) or with AOSP lacking many features I found useful on MIUI.
TL;DR I'm very displeased with this phone, with how XIAOMI forgot it and how frustrated I am because I can't use it properly, I can't customize it as MY OWN, and I just wanted to use it without rebooting.
Well that's all, just wanna share that and know if anyone else had the same feeling.
Best regards

1. You can use 3rd party app to record calls on aosp. With proper searching, you can get exactly what you want. For the blocking numbers from list, how often do someone need to block a number? It's a very minor feature.
2. Yes, there are more options to choose network, but choosing only 4/3/2G is still there.
3. About the three finger screenshot, yes aosp does it bad. But, you can use custom shortcut to take screenshots, even gestures like 2 fingers side swipe, which I use on Mdroid.
There's work around for almost everything, if you look properly. And if you like things simple, surely you'll miss out some things.

I feel bad, because I can no longer go back to a regular battery sized phone

I feel exactly the same
Xiaomi abandonned us
Luckily for me I gave my markw to my sister (she doesn't care about updates ) and got myself a mido ( redmi note 4)
But I miss my 4 prime it was the perfect size note 4 is too big. And battery life is slightly less with mido
I know how you feel about custom roms.
There is always a way to fix your problem with them but it demands time to find the solutions to bugs/ non-existent function ( custom rom is not for lazy person ?)
With miui you had almost everything in 1 package
( But miui also had so many problems)

Expert please help me. My K20 is continuously rebooting

1. Background
It's been 4 months since I bought Xiaomi K20 8G and 256G(Not Pro). I bought it from China, and from the beginning, the cell phone was unlocked. (I didn't know what it was. Maybe the seller changed the Chinese version to Global Rom and sold it. I didn't even know what that meant at the time. I think seller stated the same.)
2. Problem
There was a bit of heat from the beginning. And I got many messages that due to heat warning, the Wifi, camera, and 3G/4G would be limited. In relation to that, I found out that there had been a lot of such problems while searching solution in Internet, and I saw many articles, software upgrades had solved such overheating. And someone recommend such thing can be solved by installing ROM again in the setup(there is menu downloading latest ROM). So I tried this (MIUI 11.0.4 global) and further deleted many apps and re-installed apps, used battery saver mode and etc.. Though there was heat, phone didn't give a overheating message, and wifi also worked well.
For the time being around 1 month, I used it well.
Just 4~5 days ago, again overheating message came. Then new ROM (11.0.5) came and phone got hang / shut down / reboot / Overheaing warning / wifi disconnected.(WIFI is on, but suddenly not working. Then I off WIFI, tried to on WIFI but it didn't ON. Toggle button move but come back off position again, Once I reboot, it work for some time only.)
3. Attempts to resolve
Although phone has heat, I decided to install TWRP & the other operating system (ROM) because I thought such problem coming from the operating system / software / apps rather than a hardware problem.
I've been working hard on installation of Pixel Experience following the guide of the experts, but the above problems persist, I've changed Global Rom to EU Rom, I've tried downgrading from the recently updated MUIU.
However reboots occur more and more frequently.
Even though I don't do anything, my K20/9T phone is rebooting, hanging, stopping, and shutting down. And even no tasks are there, heat is on the phone.
4. Request.
Experts, please help & guide me.
I'm under huge stress from K20/9T.
I am trying to drain out battery.... at this moment.

LOL just fu cking trash your phone and buy the pro one

You should try xiaomi.eu ROMs.
