New calls - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. My screen remains dark and locked while phone calls are coming through. The phone rings, but I have to unlock it to see whom is calling. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

That's not normal, you most likely have a application or toggled something on to prevent your screen from turning on

I don't think so. I've discovered the issue is not just limited to my device. On the Nexus forums people are having the same issues. This doesn't happen 100% of the time either.

[Q] Does this thing have "auto-wake"?

I got my Nexus 7 three days ago. It seems like sometimes when it's charging and I pick it up, the screen turns itself on. But I can't seem to purposely reproduce this behavior and I'm wondering if maybe I'm just hitting the power button without realizing it. Likewise, once or twice it seems to have put itself into sleep when I set it down. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Mine has done this with me as well. There was one guy who posted that it had happened to him, but it was to do with a magnetic case. I've not got round to getting a case for mine yet, and there have been times where I've picked it up, 100% sure i haven't hit the power button, and the screen has come on....

This has happened with me too, turns out it was coming on when I left it charging on top of a speaker... Sometimes the screen wasn't coming on at all even if I pressed the power button numerous times.

Funny...come to think of it, the auto-off happened when I set it on my iPad, which is in a magnetic case.
P.S. - Am I allowed to say "iPad" in this forum?

Well when my n7 was switching itself on, it was sitting on a pillow on my bed, nowhere near any magnets. And when it happened I manually switched the screen off, put it back down again, and was able to repeat it again and again. So unless my pillows are magnetic...

Have you tried talking to her about Android development? A lengthy treatise on the pros and cons of HTML5 vs. native should scare her off!

That's actually a very good idea, something along those lines, I'd need to bore her with a subject that won't immediately let her know that I'm taking the p155, but having just got my n7, I could maybe just start talking to her all the time about it and nothing else lol
Who would have thought you'd even get relationship (avoidance) advice here on XDA
Thanks!!!

My be your bed company is "magnetic"? kidding!
I got twice this effect when at bed. And I found it perfect to wake the device in the dark because the start button is not so easy to get and very often is opposite to your available finger!
I had that before, but not since I upgraded to 4.2 I think.
It's a really cool feature, I hope Google add it.
I had this happen a few times as well. Try putting your device to sleep and wiggling the USB cable where it plugs into the N7. If you plug the charger in while the screen is off, the screen will turn on. I know mine doesn't have a real solid connection and if I pick it up while it's charging, it will sometimes cause the cable to lose its connection for a second or so and then move back into position, causing the N7 to essentially think you're plugging the charger in. You might see if that's what's happening with yours as well. I figured I was the only one and it wasn't a big deal so I've just been careful about picking it up while charging or transferring data.

When it happened to me there was no cable plugged in, and I was able to switch the screen back off, put it down again, and pick it up and make the screen come on again. Definitely never pressed any buttons or had it near any magnets.
I think it was before I had upgraded though. Some people say this would actually be a nice feature, and until you remember that everywhere you take your n7 away from home its gonna be switching on and of all the time in your pocket/car etc it would be....

I fully agree, but this feature will and must only be for in "home" use. So not active when lock screen is enabled.
When I'm at home is the main time that I do need the screen lock lol, if I'm out it's usually in my pocket.. The auto screen on would be a good feature at home though, I'm just not sure how it could be implemented.
Oh, wait, I just thought of something It's entirely possible right now. I could use my nice new app called Tasker, and set it up to tell the screen to come on when it feels movement. What's more, if I want it to only happen at home, I can tell it to only work when GPS says I'm home, or simpler, tell it to only do it when I'm connected to my home WiFi network. Tasker is a cool app.

Not VERY bad static, but I do occasionally get some at the beginning of a call. It goes away after 5-10 seconds usually.

Mines don't go away at all. What should I do about it? I can still hear the people I call but it's very annoying and the static is bad
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk 4
I have slight static in the background of a call. I thought it was the earpiece, but speakerphone issues the same fault. I think it's just Verizon. The speakers on this phone are so accurate and awesome--I probably just never heard it on my GNexus before--even though it's there.

you're well within your 14 days. i'd say exchange it. if you're not sure, take it to a vzw store (not re-seller) for a second opinion.

[Q] Active Display issue

Anyone else have a problem with their active display "breathing"?
Not me. Neither before or after the kit Kat update

Well I'm not sure if it's an actual issue or normal but from my understanding the phone is supposed to breather when left idle right? By that I mean flash the time

I think it only does that for some notifications. otherwise it will only flash the time when you pick it up or move it.

Oh ok jus making sure thought it was supposed to do that regardless of notifications or not
By "breathing" do you mean the screen fading in and out constantly when there are notifications pending?
Posted about it here to see if it was normal or not, because I don't remember it from the first two days I had the phone, but noticed it this morning.

Yep that what the breathing is exactly. It supposed to reduce the need to unlock the phone to check for social media/email updates.

Completly locked phone when turning on WiFi

Hello,
On one of my N6's it completely freezes the phone when WiFi gets turned on until if force closes minutes later. Meanwhile the other one WiFi turns on instantly and pops up all the WiFi's available in seconds.
Anyone else have this issue?
Nope first time I've heard of this issue. Did you do any changes to your phone?

Audio Starts Loud Then Lowers

So my best friend just got a Nexus 6 not too long ago, but seems to be facing an issue where all Music/Sound starts playing loud when you first start it but after a few seconds the volume becomes very low. We have flashed custom roms as well as used stock and still face the issue. We have searched the forum threads and cant seem to find anything that fixes it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had this issue and replaced it no problem. This motorola qc is really bad

Hi,
@VeryCrushed , @Tsoflyyup
I have the same problem, Can you try to connect the charger and see if the problem persists? My phone seems to have this problem when the charger is not connected and the battery has a low level.
I had the same problem. However, as soon as i use any custom kernel everything is fixed.

I've used both Sensei and Faux, and it seems to happen on both. Might be a hardware issue?

I think it can be related with the power saving mode, have you tried using the charger and see if the problem persists?
