Most noticeably, it does not drop like a rock at the 25% mark, so it has not powered off on its own, to leave me stranded. So far on Android 7.1 developer preview, I have been able to enjoy the new features and, more importantly, my battery life has been better. It was a painless process though leaving the beta program will wipe the device.
#Nexus 6p software platform upgrade#
A few hours after joining the beta and being on WiFi, I was able to download the gigabyte+ image and upgrade my phone. Fortunately, the 7.1 image became available for the Nexus 6P relatively recently since it is being offered on the Pixel phones already and I was able to upgrade my phone to it by joining the Android beta program. Nougat is being handled a bit differently than previous Android releases with many of the Nougat features being postponed to a 7.1 release. fully charging and then fully draining the battery to “reset” its memory.downgrading back to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.I found several suggestions at fixes, which included: The same generation Nexus 5X seems to have not had this problem. I looked around online and found a few other people complaining about the same problem on their Nexus 6P. It was usually near the end of the work day and I could start charging it again as soon as I got to my car. This was very frustrating but pretty minimal. With essentially only 75% of the device’s battery available and while playing Pokemon Go regularly, this was causing for some times when my phone would be completely out of commission until I got it to a charger. You might be able to power it back on but it would only last another few seconds before powering itself off again. More accurately, it would drop from 20-30% straight to 1%, Battery Saver mode would turn on, and the ‘Powering off…’ message would pop up and it would, sure enough, power off. When my phone would get around 25% or lower, it would just power off. While I enjoyed most of the new features of Nougat, I began to notice a problem whenever my battery would get low and it seemed to be falling faster than before.
#Nexus 6p software platform update#
A couple months ago I was able to update my Nexus 6P to Android 7.0 Nougat with an OTA update. That’s the reason why I went with the Nexus line for my latest smartphone. Android’s fragmentation and carrier-delayed updates are the mobile platform’s biggest drawbacks.
