Play store animations now gone - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else noticed that the transition animations when using the Play store has completely gone on the Nexus 6? I am currently using version 6.9.21.G-all. When I select an app I no longer get any of the material design transition animations. The next screen just appears. I tried the same Play store version on my Note 4 and it works as expected...with all the transition animations when I select different apps, etc.
Is this a known issue? or is it just my nexus 6? Help needed on this please.

I received the OTA update to 7.0 and my play store version is 7.0.12.H-all[0]. Try tapping the build version and see if it provides the update to 7.0.

I too have since then received the 7.0.12.H-all update and the animations are still missing. When you use that version on your N6 are the transition animations when selecting an app for example still there for you?

Yes, I noticed no difference in either the developer priviews or the 7.0 official release on any of my devices (N6, N6P, N9). Is this what you're talking about?

Yes that is exactly what I am talking about. Mine no longer does that at all. Do you guys think a factory reset of the phone would help?
The strange thing is that if I uninstall the update to the Play store app and revert back to the factory version it works just fine with animations until the play store auto updates itself and the animations stop working again. That was the case when I was on version 6.9.21.G-all and 7.0.12.H-all .
So confused as to how to solve this issue since you have now confirmed that the animations are present on your N6.

Did you make any changes to the animation and transition settings in the Developer options?

NO I have not made any changes there.

No animations is a good thing!
Speed is king!

Problem now SOLVED!!
Turns out a factory reset has solved the mysterious bug of no animations in the Play store app. I suspect that maybe that there was a conflict somewhere after the OTA update to Nougat but if anyone experiences something similar a factory rest might help. Thanks to all who offered advice about this issue. Greatly appreciated.

[Q] facebook image scaling issues? xt1095 lollipop

I just update my pure edition to lollipop & now facebook images in chrome aren't scaling correctly. Does anyone else have this issue? Normally the images scale to the width of the page.

It was worse before. Images were oversized. But yes everyone has this and I'm not sure if it's an actual bug

that's pretty lame. I wonder what changed between kitkat & lollipop to cause this?
I saw this in the developer preview on the N5 but it was working fine when Lollipop was released.
If you select "request desktop site" in the ... Menu you'll get proper scaling but it has to be selected every time you visit the site. If you are rooted you can change the browser user agent.

How do I enable tablet apps on my N6 from Google Play?

Scrolls just came out on Android tablets and Hearthstone is due out later this month but again only on tablets.
How do I spoof the play store into thinking I'm running a tablet? Is it as simple as editing the build.prop to be an HTC Nexus 9?
I used to be able to do this with xposed, but we all know that's not available on the Nexus 6 yet.
Thanks!
Yes. Just changed the build prop to mimmick the device you want. You might also need to change the DPI to get the app to play well on your phone..

I adjusted the DPI from 580 to 480.
I changed the manufacturer from motorola to htc, and model from nexus 6 to nexus 9.
I cleared the play store data and rebooted.
It worked! Thanks again!
Well, it downloaded the app, but unfortunately it hangs on the initial logo display screen. Not sure if it's an android 5.0 issue or what. I adjusted the DPI all the way down to 260, no go.

I think since the nexus is the only android 5.0 phone out, aside from other nexus and international phones, you may have to wait for the developer to update the app to play friendly with 5.0. I would ask a htc nexus user or read reviews in the app store to see if anyone has it working correctly.
It actually works, it was my network at work blocking whatever the app was trying to use internet access for, so it hung instead of giving an error. Once I left work and was on cell phone or my home connection it loaded up just fine! Haven't had a chance to really play yet, but I can!
I am trying to do the same and followed your steps and didn't work. I am running CM 12 ROM however. Do you mind posting the changes you made to Build.prop so I can compare? I changed Manufacturer to HTC and Model to Nexus 9 and DPI to 480 and no-go. Play Store still sees it as not compatible.
Thanks

I've already seen that on the M Developer preview WiFi calling is working on the T-Mobile Nexus 6. Can anyone who has updated to the M preview on a Nexus 5 confirm if WiFi Calling is now baked into the OS like it is with iOS?

It's going to be available in the release version
Have any of you rooted the Android M?
After I flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip into the device, it won't boot, just stuck at the booting animation.
Any ideas?

Fastboot flash the system image and possibly boot to get this fixed or alternatively rum flash all again. SuperSU has not been updated yet for M.

Native multiwindows support is available. You need to edit the build.prop and change ro.build.type to userdebug and it will show up in developer settings.

WiFi calling came to the Nexus 6 with LYZ28E, Android 5.1.1. I have yet to see WiFi calling working on Android M. Does anyone have a link to that? I would like to see someone port LYZ28E to the Nexus 5 though. Hopefully sooner than later as I can't think of any reason why it couldn't be ported by the right person.
Interesting tweaks to the lock screen: updated font weights and styles and also the dialer app shortcut is replaced with voice search. I like that you now have to swipe from the app shortcuts to launch them instead of just swiping to either side; I occasionally would launch the camera or phone app by accident when unlocking before.
Take this: SuperSU 2.49 Beta
Maybe it works, im downloading now.

A couple people on Reddit with Nexus 6 M preview installed said T-Mobile WiFi calling is working.

Apps I have that are not working:
Waze - Crashes on launch and causes background to turn and stay black until reboot
Uber - Crashes on launch
Evernote - Crashes on launch
Camera seems to crash randomly
Mostly app issues, but not sure when they'll get updated. I'd stay on M, but need Waze and Uber for some travel in upcoming days.
I love the new app tray, I once saw that in a custom rom on a device of a friend and I loved it.
If someone has errors while it should flash the system try to flash it by hand:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
Code:
fastboot flash cache cache.img
and continue with that system till the last .img.
Yes you always have to put the folder name in front of the .img (folder name = .img without .img)
after you manually installed those you have to execute "flash-base.sh" NOT FLASH-ALL.CMD OR YOU HAVE TO REDO FLASHING THE .IMG'S!!!
Oh and who wants to record 4k 30fps without flashing anything, THIS APP:
Snap Camera HDR: TRIAL // FULL (1.49€)
-> 4k Recording 30fps (Slightly scaled as the width is the same)
-> 3.4k Recording 30fps (Native Resolution)
-> 1440p Recording 60fps
-> 1080p Recording 120fps
(you can take the trial, just dont press the close button and wait the 10 seconds. I bought it my self cause its really worth it!)

Some people are still on Oreo.
HMD are a bit of a joke.
I think they are starting to have too many devices that need to be updated every month. As with Xiaomi, too many devices and updates are delayed.

What changed in this update??
Everything is so smooth now.
Animations are awesome, and some UI tweeks like name in the lockscreen is fixed.
The update also has camera improvements.
Really awesome, so sad nokia is not delivering it.

Fingerprint is always in pair with a classical unlocking method that you must have set before
Screw nokia. Side loaded the november update.
Not able to provide timely update isn't the way to reestablish yourself.
I checked for the update manually and got the November patch now. Guess it has started rolling out in India now (with the bugs fixed, hopefully). Not sure about other regions.
It's available in other countries also!
Yes it is

The face unlock is a bit slower than before, but overall seems more polish regarding the transitions and gestures.
Nevertheless, i think it needs a bit more "speed" on the transitions.

That's a easy fix,
Head over to " Developer Options " and change all Animation from 1 to 0.5
I did the bootloader unlock first. Broke the OTA. Can not be installed. Packet not matching the device.
Relocked the bootloader and it still does not work.
Did anyone update to Android 10 and unlocked the bootloader afterwards?
Sorry but last update is fu.ked up.Gestures in "System navigation" menu don't work.I can't choose this option. Only Virtual Navigation is available
Also I noticed much worse photos from stock camera

Blame Google for that, they managed to break the thirdparty launcher support in Q. If you want gestures, use the stock launcher.
Android Q problems
Any one else who can't se the files in file explorer? Nothing is erased but it won't show either. The same with music in music player. Also a bit lag especially when screen lock is on and I want to control apps running.
the update can only be made if no magisk root and no twrp is installed (if twrp and magisk is installed, the update cancels) whether the bootloader is unlocked is irrelevant during the update

No, blame ZTE. Google fixed this issue with 3rd party launchers back in December. ZTE didn't implement the fix prior to pushing their update. This is on them! And they need to push a fix ASAP cause this is unacceptable!
Does anyone of you experience slow camera? It loads forever. Also switching the lenses.
Both with ZTE camera and Google camera mod.
Plus desktop mode works now [emoji1]
but the DPI is very low on my full HD screen. So not much fun yet.
Android Q issues
Since the new update of my mobile, the ZTE axon 10 pro, to Android Q I am experiencing problems:
*I can't turn of battery saving mode which makes my gps often useless.
*The always on display shuts off when I select specific hours of operation for the always on display.
*When the screen is locked then the mobile doesn't respond directly when I press something, always with a few seconds delay.
*Native file explorer can't find my files, I need to install third party apps to solve it.
*Sometimes the phone freezes, especially when using Chrome.
The are other small issues as well.*
I would like to sideload the new update to see if the problems will disappear but I can't find the zip file for the new update .
Anyone that has the zip file for the global version?
Anyone with similar or other issues?
Any ideas how to fix these?
Thanks in advance!

I never turn battery save mode on. I will check it.
*The always on display shuts off when I select specific hours of operation for the always on display.
I never see this. Once I realized that it turned on with almost 1 minute delay but I didn't check it once again.
*When the screen is locked then the mobile doesn't respond directly when I press something, always with a few seconds delay.
It is always fine for me.
*Native file explorer can't find my files, I need to install third party apps to solve it.
I have never used built in file explorer but I tried it. It works fine for me.
*Sometimes the phone freezes, especially when using Chrome.
I don't know Chrome. I use Opera. Very rarely it waits for longer time but it comes back in reasonable time. The phone has never been frozen fully.
May be you should do factory reset and also get all update from Google Store.
Hello,
I cannot see update to version 2.3 in system updater.
Do I need to do something more to be able to get this package with Android 10?
I am in the same boat.
I have the European version and android 10 is not showing at system updater.
Currently on 1.8

Messaged ZTE about the EU update to the A2020G variant.
"Thanks for contacting ZTE, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
We would like to inform you, updates when available are sent onto the phones via OTA (over the air).
Also it will be released based on the IMEI numbers as well, hence we kinldy request you to wait for the notification on your device for the update."
Guess its luck of the IMEI draw .
