Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners
-
OK, SMS works as expected. Phone however is not functional. There's a delay of about five seconds after you hit the call button before it tries to dial. No call audio transmitted or received. Takes about the same time to figure out its receiving a call as well.
Maybe related - not getting more than 8M/sec download speed. Technically 4G, but certainly not LTE. I've played with APN settings and haven't yet managed to fix it.
-
@rocket2nfinity Press Vol Up and Down at the same time.
-
@rocket2nfinity Yeah call audio I could not fix but I am working on it...
-
Network speed problem is a local issue. Went downtown, got solid LTE. So, all works except calls and camera
-
@rocket2nfinity Excellent. Could you go back to top of this thread, and see in the "Not working" area if you can confirm a few of the missing things? I will try to do the same and so we can verify all missing stuff on a solid base.

Not Working:
Sensors: Rotation Actors: Torchlight - don't see the setting in navbar Camera: Flashlight Camera: Photo Camera: Video Network: Bluetooth (you have a fix) Network: Hotspot - icon pops up in navbar, but can't find my network on other devices USB: MTP access USB: RNDIS access
Partially working:
Cellular: Incoming, outgoing calls - tries, appears to connect, but no audio
Not sure:
Cellular: Speakerphone (limited volume control) Cellular: Voice in calls (limited volume control) - You get limited volume, I get none in both cases GPU: Video acceleration - I wondered if acceleration was working, but Videos do load and play without stuttering in HD quality Cellular: PIN unlock - don't have this set. Probably should research and decide if I should
One other thing - Battery. Seems to drain excessively fast compared to my last Android build. I understand there's an improvement for that in OTA-12. Noticed my battery life on my Nexus 5 improved when I went to Dev channel
-
I noticed something strange with cellular APN settings - clicking reset APN doesn't actually seem to reset the APN in the menu. After I click reset, it still shows the settings for a network I'm not using and does not show my current provider. Yet internet connects.
I know there is a way to clear it manually using terminal, but I can't seem to find that anywhere. Would you happen to know?
-
@rocket2nfinity Battery I noticed also but that was because I did not disable a few crashing services. Will send you new image today eve, that should extend battery life
-
@rocket2nfinity Well APN settings is nothing probably that is related to a device. You might see the same behaviour on a already supported UT device. Could you test this with that SIM card in another device?
-
@Flohack I tried it on my Nexus 5 Devel and I had the same behaviour with the APN.
-
Yeah I think thats a software bug and not device-specific
-
Tested on my N5. Same thing. Never checked it before. File a bug report or did you already do so?
-
@rocket2nfinity sorry, no. I am not apart of this project so I do not know were to file a bug.
-
@Rondarius Issue reported. Just FYI you can report issues here:

-
@rocket2nfinity Ive just uploaded a new system.img, please replace and test for battery lifetime
-
@Flohack You psyched me out. I saw that bluetooth icon on and thought maybe it was working!
I'll let you know how the battery performs
-
Got another question. Usually with Android, when there is a newer radio image, they recommend you flash it. The radio image matching this build is 3.81. The latest was 3.88. Might not be much in those updates but could improve cell performance - or break it depending on what they did. Thoughts on this?
-
@rocket2nfinity Thanks, I was looking through github and that link makes it a lot easier.
-
@rocket2nfinity Bluetooth will work until you turn it off
-
@rocket2nfinity Thoughts is we are not legally allowed to distribute such binaries, and we already are hitting the edge of it with incorporating vendor trees. Technically its possible, also later with the installer and the system-image upgrade to supply firmware upgrades, but yes, its kinda risky. However, we sometimes make a forum post how people can upgrade their firmware themselves.
