[Q][DEV] Shamu Binaries - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Question for you ROM developers/builders: What binaries are you using when you build AOSP for this device? On my builds, I can't seem to get Mobile Data working. I'm using the latest build for TMO, as I am on TMO. I verified the APN settings are correct and tried four different radios (M1, M2, 17R, 14R), but nothing seems to allow mobile data.
I also can't seem to get videos to display in apps like Facebook/Instagram, etc. I tried with both AOSP Web View and Google Web View, but neither worked.

if you were using the wrong binaries, none of your buttons would work, and none of the hardware would work properly with the software.

If it's not the binaries... I know it could be a mountainload of other things... what would be the next step in troubleshooting?

i tell you what, i think you did everything right. with tmobiles radio, sometimes you just have to let it sit there until it connects. after connecting the first time, itll be faster after. just let it sit there, or connect to wifi, itll eventually connect.

A Quick Note About Sherpa
With Cyanogen already including Sherpa in his latest experimental build, there have been a few issues that have arisen. I feel that, because of these issues, any devs who are considering adding Sherpa to their builds should make users aware of these issues. If you are such a dev, feel free to add the following list to your first post. Also, you should make it clear that this version of Sherpa is pre-release.
If you wish to add Sherpa to your builds, you can download the .apk here: http://gynecologistcobra.net/apps/Sherpa.apk
Major Issues
Do not open the keyboard while Sherpa is running. It may cause it to crash.
Sherpa does not work properly on non-US devices. In the worst cases, it will fail to connect to the server. Even if it does connect, it may not be able to discover your surroundings.
Sherpa may fail to launch completely.
Sherpa requires GPS to be active to auto-locate you.
Sherpa may turn on your Wi-Fi while it is running.
Minor issues
Auto-rotate does not work in Sherpa.
It also sometimes just won't start, freezing up while trying to acquire the GPU. Awesome app though

Well, it was designed for the Magic, which has more RAM, ergo it can freeze on start up.

Actually, now that you mention it, I have seen the 'Open Wi-Fi Networks' notification flash up while I was running Sherpa. While my WiFi was turned off.
I think this is definitely a pre-release. If you watch logcat, there are hundreds of exceptions being thrown.

Possibly using skyhook wireless wifi geolocation service for poor gps visibility situations?
Thanks. This is working on cy 3.6.81 with no problems for me
Good stuff on the bugs list but im thinkin the sherpa app that got leaked was a beta version and there will be plenty of bugs, so don't hold your breathe yet but i guess wait till the official once releases.

Good to see you've calmed down a bit from JAC's thread, Johnny
We know it's a prerelease version. However, people may want to start putting it in their builds, like Cyan has done, so there should be a bugs list.

That is weird, it does take a few seconds to show, maybe it takes longer on Hero since it is a slower ROM.
After playing around with this app.. I must say its definitely one of the best "places" type app out there. I have noticed a couple things that havent been mentioned. First off, i havent had any fc even after opening the keyboard. The app screen doesnt rotate but is still functional for me in landscape.
I assume this app you can set your location manually via zipcode, city, etc. I would imagine that this also picks up via GPS.
On the bottom where it tells me my location, it is set for my home. GPS isnt picking me up elsewhere, as i am not at home. When i search by zip it works fine.
I also tried to go to google maps and lock on gps there.. but no go so far.
Like i said, i know there will be some small bugs considering this app isnt meant for the g1 Anyone else experience the GPS not locking your current location?
My GPS is off. On google maps I get the correct location but in Sherpa it thinks I'm at home, not at work.

Yeah.. I hear you. If i have my gps enabled and go the the Menu in Sherpa, select Go to Location. There is a "Use Current location" Then the little circle to the left of you displayed location with "think" for a couple seconds and stay at the same location... I dont even know how it picked up that location.
If my gps in not enabled then the circle with "think" for as long as you let it.

[Q] YouTube - "Connection to Server Lost"

So I know this has been an issue for others in the past, but everything I've tried hasn't seemed to work. Every time I load up a video on Youtube, it seems like it's about to start but then says "Connection to Server Lost. Tap to Try again". This only happens when I'm not on WiFi though. I've tried restarting the phone, uninstalling all updates, clearing app data and cache, and none of that seems to work. I also don't have an AdBlocker so I know that isn't the issue. Everything else works when I'm not on WiFi though.
Any solutions? I would greatly appreciate it.
I apologize for the bump but is no one else experiencing this issue? My friend also had it happen to him after updating to the most recent OTA. So far it hasn't seemed to be fixed.
Had it happen before update but haven't tested since update. Will check it out tomorrow when I'm out. Service where I live is terrible so can't really test now.

Edit.. just tested and YouTube is working fine. But that's after a data and system wipe from flashing new firmware and whatnot

Hmm, alright. I'll probably need to know if others that are on stock and running the latest firmware are running into the same issue. Because it seems likely that the update is the reason.
I'm stock rooted running the latest firmware and my YouTube seems to be working fine on both wifi and 3g. No issues so far and I've watched quite a few videos the last couple of days. I'll let you know if anything changes though.
Okay well I'm getting extremely annoyed here. The problem temporarily resolved itself for a few days but now it's back and now I can't even watch youtube videos on any Internet browser. It just says "sorry. This video cannot be played." it's clear this isn't an app issue, but what the heck is causing this? I should be able to watch a damn youtube video.

At this point, I'm assuming it has to do with the combination of Sprint's towers and the latest update (since that's when it began to happen). If you do factory reset your phone, please tell me if it begins to work for you.

Sadly no. It's so strange though, sometimes I can see the video as if it knows it should be loading the video, but then decides to give me an error one second before it actually starts. It's almost like it's being blocked.
Haven't been able to get mine to work with CDMA only, either.
I have tried everything and never managed to get a video to load, ever, while not on WiFi since I got my M8.

I honestly believe it is Sprint's doing, since I remember the videos being unwatchably bad quality back on my stock EVO 3D, if they would load at all, but after rooting it and removing the sprint proxy that suddenly cleared up, both the glitchy nature and quality. Probably use some kind of broken proxy to reduce bandwidth used by Youtube.

It has been happening with my phone as well. Works occasionally, but it's not just youtube, it's pandora, podcats, and even wshh. The problem has been going on since the update. I did speak with someone at Sprint and it was the usual "turn this off, turn that on, enter this." It worked but than went out again. Phone is brand new and 13 days old. Hope somebody can figure this out before i exchange it.

[Q] Is it just me, or is the Xposed repo down?

I have been trying to download xposed modules (and even the latest xposed framework) all day. Each time it just sits there "Download waiting...." forever till it fails. I just tried to download one of the module apk files via my desktop browser, and it is sitting there for about 4 minutes not "connecting".
So far I do not see anyone else complaining about this so I do not know what is up.
Darkrift,
I think we were typing our posts about the same time-)) I too have experienced this issue. I've been unsuccessful at downloading any updates today. It does seem the download links are dead like the storage locations are not responding.

I'm using Cox as well in Norfolk, VA.
When I switch to mobile data network on AT&T it downloads just fine. This is ridiculous, I've never had restrictions on this ISP before. I'm about to call cox right now. I don't pay $55 a month for some fascist ISP to tell me what I can and can't connect to, especially when it's not even a site that is not breaking any copyright laws, this isn't China.

I have, for years. They block high profile irc networks dns by redireting it to their own server (which then auto joins your user to a channel and tries to run a lot of botnet commands to uninstall a botnet client in the event you are compromised). I used to have to deal with this a lot years ago when I was on irc frequently. They will deny it, but they have been doing stuff like that for years.
Then again, it could be some sort of dns issue that will work itself out.

I'm having the same issue here in South East US. To make a long story short, I couldn't download any modules so I thought maybe to uninstall my Xposed app and reinstall. Now I can't even install the Xposed Framework. Like you said, it just times out. I just rooted a new phone and I desperately need my Xposed! I have the APK saved to my device and can reinstall from their however this doesn't help because I still can't install modules through the framework. Any suggestions???

It just strange that this is happening and I'm reading reports where people other than me seem to be having the same issue. I guess I was hoping for some direction or trouble shooting suggestions from XDA forums as I honestly wouldn't know of a better place to search for assistance. Is there any suggestions that might help me back track the issue. I've honestly tried everything I know. I purposely side loaded two third party apps and those installed flawlessly. It's only the xposed framework application and it's modules I'm having trouble with... timing out and not installing. The modules I have pre existing on my SD installed fine, it's only when trying trying to download from within the Xposed framework that doesn't install. I show an update available for one of my existing modules and it won't even update.... same thing, it just times out. Again, any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
This seems to be a network related issue, rather than a problem with the repo. I have updated several modules over a couple of days with no issues and this problem only seems to be affecting a small amount of people.
Are you using the same internet provider as others in the thread? I can only think they blocked it as GermainZ said earlier. Perhaps a visit to the support forum of your provider might help, even to check if anyone else reported this issue.

Work will supposedly start denying access to the wifi to rooted/jailbroken devices

So yeah, assuming their efforts is successful and they manage to set up their wifi to deny access to rooted devices, is there anyway around this without unrooting?

There used to be a module called Root Cloack(er) for Xposed frameworks that hides root, don`t know if there is a version for Marsmellow though. Its here on the XDA forums somewhere.
But how? I can't think of any way to detect a rooted/jailbroken phone from a Wifi connection, without you having to install or run some other piece of software/script that would give them that information.

Many places are doing this. Detecting root is simple. Even Snapchat and others are doing it. Heck they are even looking for xposed and won't work if detected.
You would be amazed at what info people can get from your device when it's connected to wifi

a lot of info sure... But an app running on your phone detecting it, vs detecting that something is installed simply by connecting to their network? Your phone passes along a lot of info... but not installed binaries?
I could see them maybe having a black list, like if you're connecting the the exposed repositories your likely rooted... but if you are not using programs that require root access and communicate over the network, how are they doing this?

A simple request for the info. Have you ever looked at a logcat and saw everything running. I could be gone for weeks and come home and tell you every device that has ever connected to my network the whole time I was gone and with the right things in place could even tell if they are rooted or jailbroken
I can see the same as the poster above me on our network, it is not hard at all. And if we had such a policy and you used a cloaker I would have you fired.
Their network, their rules. I really don't think you should do this.

Can you provide any links or further detail? Obviously by viewing system logs you can tell whats running.... but I have never seen any standard network function to request a connected device to send logs without permission? Google searching the topic provides little info as its saturated with info on how to root, and using root for ad blocking.
Even a brief overview of the setup you would use to check? What are "the right things" and what "place" would the need to be in?

I wont get into it too deeply as I have my guys that watch this site as well and If they go around my security setup like with exchange pin request or using some devices on my network I will fire them on the spot. Lets just say the router logs everything that is done on the network. Connect your device to your wifi and then watch a logcat. You should be able to see what you are looking for.
Understand that unless approved by me no device can connect to my network. With the right router you can see everything about a device. you wont find much info on google as things like this are kept close to the chest with the IT crowd

No one here is trying to connect to your network. It's XDA and people are curious. I agree that it's silly to circumvent measures used by the company you work for (assuming you want to keep working there), but I also find it strange that you connect to a network and have that router, etc tell if your phone has a specific binary and apk. Is that what you are claiming happens?

This is not possible to limit an android version via network traffic, the best they could do is catch you updating cyanogenmod and ban your mac by guessing that your rooted, but its so much work, its a bunch of empty threats.

It can yes. And you are right this is XDA but you would be amazed at what info is not shared here or anywhere except between IT managers or other devs.
Once connected to a network it is not that hard to get everything from a device. This is why all the warnings about connecting to open networks. While Open networks are more of a risk it goes to show that anything can be done.
This has been a practice for a very long time even back to the WM days when roms encluded time bombs that would make the rom not work after a set time and date.

It's all smoke and mirrors to me until someone explains how it's possible to read files on a device by a user just connecting to a network and providing no further interaction. Sure you can get the device MAC, name, etc, but that's not how I read your statements. As mentioned in the post above yours, you can guess on network traffic, etc, but I really doubt anyone can "know everything".

Its not guessing network traffic. You can tell exactly what sites they go to. You can tell if they are using a mobile or desktop browser. (same way the carriers do it to prevent teethering)
All it takes is being connected to a network to be infected with a virus. Just how do you think that happens?
No one is gonna explain it. Just like we dont allow talks about network penetration. There are just something that are best not out in public view.
Here is an older example of how they detected jailbroken iphones on school networks.

All it takes is being connected to a network to be infected with a virus. Just how do you think that happens?
No one is gonna explain it. Just like we dont allow talks about network penetration. There are just something that are best not out in public view.

I am specifically referring to detecting that a binary and an apk exist on a device SOLELY based on establishing a network connection (not viruses, not websites visited...user does nothing and no new code/software runs on the device). That does not seem probable to me.
It may just be semantics, but that's how I interpreted your original statement.
Of course network admins can see what sites users visit, what browser they use, etc and there is no guessing - only logs [emoji3]. I was using guessing in different sense (ie, you see something "suspicious" and draw conclusions).
Wow.... if i ever get fired after i found out they are 'reading' files on my device... this will be case for a courtn no doubt! I'm sure (at least where i live) the one that fires you based on such actions will have a big problem!

If you read the link they showed how to detect cydia which showed them it was jailbroken. The same thing can be done on android.

You would lose. When you agree to use their network you agree to all their rules. This is the main reason for things like Knox. As more and more place move to a "right to work" setup where they dont need a reason to fire you at all. I would be careful about what rules one does break. Gone are the days where we could get away with things like this.
You know this got me thinking. Maybe I will play around with my network and see what I can find out. I have to block root and xposed users anyway so this would be a great challenge. Might be awhile as I revert all my PC back to windows 7.
From an IT perspective, a rooted device provides little to no security. That's why most mobile device management (MDM) products include a feature that let IT block rooted devices from connecting to the secure network or accessing corporate assets. But these products must be able to detect rooted devices before they can block them, and there are ways users can get around those detection mechanisms. Organizations that rely on MDM alone to detect rooted devices should be aware of these limitations.

I didn't see a link in Tapatalk or Chrome mobile. As for me, I see no reason why I'd ever want to connect my personal smartphone to my work network. Thanks for the discussion.

WiFi calling (UK)

Just read that Three is discontinuing it's WiFi calling app as most phones have this as standard now. I have no reception in my flat so this has been a lifesaver. I have figured out how to activate the volte and WiFi calling toggles but only the volte seems to work (I get an icon when on 4g). Has anyone been able to get this to work on any UK network?

Any LOS/Based ROM should work.
Thanks. I had a look on the other thread and couldn't see WiFi calling as an option despite being able to toggle it on. Can't remember what code I used.

If it doesn't show as 'Provisioned' under the *#*#4636#*#* menu, it's not available. You're using OOS, right? I'm not sure there's any method to force the issue. Maybe a Magisk module?
Or start using Custom ROMs?

I'm using OOS Oreo. I'm trying to remember what I did to get the toggles under sim preferences. Before then I didn't even have the toggles
Is this operator dependent or phone software. No idea how to add a module but should be able to figure that out.

Adding the Toggles to Settings is the easy bit. It doesn't mean a thing as far as getting the functions working though. The ROM, and specifically the telephony parts of it, need to have all the necessary code added. We know that 3 can add the bits needed on phones where they have control over the software updates. Otherwise it's down to the Manufacturer/ROM.
You never know, OOS Pie might have this working natively. You could ask in the Community Beta thread to see if anyone there has any idea. Or wait a while longer until OOS Pie is in Stable channel. (I assume you don't want to try the Community Beta?)

I might download it when I get back from my holiday. Don't want to mess with my phone when traveling.
I'm very much a novice when it comes to ROMs etc.
Downloaded the community build but no joy. No sign of wifi calling working.

I'm not surprised. I doubt it's high on their list of priorities. Especially as a lot of this stuff is carrier specific. They probably expect the carriers themselves to add the necessary modifications before the units get into the hands of customers, which is what happens most of the time. Except, Oneplus phones are usually bought off contract as nobody here offers them with contracts.

The provision toggle shows up now when I am back in the UK. Might try to install lineage to see if it helps.
Did you end up getting this to work on lineage? I'm having the same problem and the three in touch app has just stopped working for me.
This is on a op3 (not t)

Haven't gotten around rooting and installing it. I have volte in most of the flat so the phone kinds works at home.
Fair enough, thanks for the reply. If I end up getting it working I'll report back
Tried to figure out how to instal lineage on my phone but I got stranded after installing ADB on my laptop. My problem is that most of the guides assumes that you know what you are doing in minute detail and therefore leave out quite a lot of steps. It also seems like you will lose all your data which means you need to back it up and to back it up you need to root the device which whips the data... Installing twrp seems also to wipe your data which is a bummer as you need that to do the backup of your phone.
As you can see I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't
Tried today to install lineage and I cannot say I'm impressed with the various guides I found. The lineage os wiki page omitted various steps such as which entry you needed to edit in the environment variables. There are several to choose from. Nor did it not mention that you need to enable unlocking the bootloader. Had to Google that to figure out how to get around that error
Installing twrp didn't work as it didn't recognise the file. Tried three different workarounds that didn't work. (File extension, dropping the twrp image onto the command window after typing the fastboot flash recovery line and moving the image to the desktop and the ADB folder.
Why do the people who write these guides assume you have extensive knowledge of installing ROMs instead of including all necessary steps. Needless to say, I failed to install lineage.
Rant over.

Any success? I have finally got lineage 16 on my phone but not been able to get WiFi calling working
No, ended up getting a new phone unfortunately.
