@flohack Yes I have noticed that messages only will appear when I wake the phone. I mean the power usage isn't horrible, the phone will last about 20 hours without use... not bad considering it's simply a backup non Google/Apple phone. Great port though

@rocket2nfinity Great explanation, thanks! Makes sense. Guess it depends on what people are doing on their phone. For me I just want a non Google/Apple phone to text/call with!

@rocket2nfinity thanks! Brand new battery though, just replaced it a few weeks ago. The 8 cores I saw earlier in a post. All 8 running even when the phone is not being used?

Thank you @rocket2nfinity & @Flohack! So I went back to a clean 7.1.2 install with TWRP and all other steps. I formatted everything mentioned and still nothing. I reinstalled everything and then formatted and wiped and it worked... Don't see why this would make a difference logically but I got it to install lol. Any reasons why the Nexus 6p drains battery so fast even when unused?

I have tried everything I have found from about 6 posts on this website to install Ubuntu Touch onto my Nexus 6p. I am using ubports-installer_0.8.1-beta_win, android 7.1.2 (N2G47H, Apr 2017) with twrp-3.4.0-0-angler installed. I have formatted the data and cache via TWRP. I keep getting stuck at the Ubports Recovery screen where it shows me Reboot system now, Ubuntu actions and Android actions. It will never go past this screen. I try and reinstall via the ubports installer without bootstrap and still nothing. Do I need to format more than just the data and cache partitions? Any help? Thanks!
