How did you update to 5.0 successfully? I used Firmware finder and updated, but I get a test build of Nougat. I flashed it back to b006 to start over and try again with no luck. I have the WIFI USA version. Any help would be appreciated.

After the fix, did you update to Nougat and the 5Ghz was still working? Or are you still on Marshmallow?

Battery life 7.0 vs 7.1

I've had terrible experience regarding the battery life in 7.0, and so I've upgraded to 7.1 and it seems like google fixed it, its at least as good now on 7.1 as it was in latest marshmallow builds and 3 times better than 7.0
Anyone else experiencing this?
Yes from day one on 7.1

You probably have to tell us which ROM you are using because there is no official release, as far as I know, for of 7.1 for Nexus 6.

Well. Thats not really a 7.1 Version. It is just a 7.0 ROM which has 7.1 mods/features. It's base is still 7.0. I have not tried the ROM. I will do and get back soon.

Nexus 6. Still on 7.0 battery life worse that 6.0.1.
Idea is Google Assistant. Just disabled GA to see what happens to battery consuming.

Android 8.0 on the SM-T285

As many of you heard, android 8 has now been officially released. I will be working to get an AOSP version working on the 7" LTE tablet, I have heard that there may be significant HAL changes so it may take some time. I have just released the august update for the SM-T285, I've been also working to get a stable repo out for this device in the last couple of weeks. Anyway wish me luck.
Update 08/24/2017 - I was able to download the 8.0.0_r4 aosp sources and got it to compile the modified device tree. There seems to be significant changes with some HAL libraries, vendor specific libs are now moved to its own place in the system image. Will now proceed to actual testing and porting.

Great! Is there ANY chance you wil make an extra effort to release this for the SM-T280 also?
AFAIK the only difderence is LTE versus WiFi only [emoji4] ?

I won't be directly developing for the T280 sadly. There may be subtle differences at the kernel level and some components (e.g. GPS, touchscreen) which prevents ROMs for the T285 from working with the T280. However my work with the T285 should greatly speedup development for the T280 once the first custom ROMs arrive.

Is this just non stock roms? I've had stock T285 roms running on my T280 without issue.

I remember some people tried on my CM/Lineage/Omni based roms on their T280 and it failed to boot, though I can't tell the method they used to flash those ROMs so it is possible that their methods are incorrect. As for stock ROMs this is new information for me if that is the case. I am unable to verify these as I don't have a T280, though if there is a dev who would like to try if would be nice.

my oreo build isn't usable at the moment, wifi doesn't work and you can't turn the screen back on after turning it off. Trying to figure out if this is a LineageOS issue or a hardware issue takes too much time, I'm waiting for the first official builds of Lineage OS to start rolling out before I spend more time on this.
Bacoor,
I've just bought a Galaxy Tab A6 LTE (SM-T285) and haven't rooted or done anything to an android phone in over 5 years. Feeling Green as hell! I'm back to being a newbie. Any suggestions you can offer to me on a guide and which TWRP and Android I should install on my phone. I'll need some tutorial help as I feel uneasy. Last Time I did rooting and custom roms was way back on the HTC Hero and then the HP Touchpad to Cyanogenmod.
Well with Oreo comes project treble which does in fact mess with the HAL libraries a lot. Maybe that means there is hope the Galaxy Tab A Line will get "Treble-ized".
Good news if we are.

Finally a standardized platform. It's about bloomin time!
No excuse for Samsung and their poor 2 time upgrades anymore.
Help regarding update
Hiii bro....sohail here and i have samsung galaxy tab a6 sm-t285 and i want nougat/oreo update in it plz help me bro.....what can i do..? Please let me know as soon as you can....hope you help me...:fingers-crossed
I am still on Android 5.1.x rooted, and probably only version for T285 which every feature is tested working.
Intended to upgrade to Android 6 or 7, but there isn't any stable firmware which is bug-free (ie. GPS and video recording).
Not optimistic on 8.0 being bug-free when the 6 and 7 not fixed after such a long wait (months).

I'd update to android 7. Its a great update for my Tab A. Samsung removed a lot of bloat in this update and it runs great.

Android 7.0 on T-Mobile

Hi folks! If you're on T-Mobile and run Nougat 7.0, can you tell me how your device perform? It seems that 7.0 wasn't tested by T-Mobile so I'm bit concerned about issues once I make the jump. Please let me know. Thank you

Currently I'm on Dark rom 8/27 build with the latest radio 05.45R and still havent had an issue. you should be good to go if you update with factory img.

Did you get the OTA update or did you flash it? Also, how's your connectivity? I had bad experience in the past after updating. Thanks!
I'm on 7.1.2 Pure Nexus (N6) and just made the jump from Sprint today. My number was ported by T-Mobile within 2 hours and the service is MUCH better. As a bonus, I can now call and use data simultaneously. Not possible on Sprint.
I've been a sprint customer since the early 1990s. That just goes to show how stupid I am ?
7.0 (Build NBD92G) is the current T-mobile supported build (but they sure don't say that anywhere on their website). T-mobile pushed that build several months ago to users on stock devices. I figure T-mobile has EOLed the Nexus 6 6 months before Google did, so plan to side-load the final 7.1 build when it drops next month.

I just bought a new unlocked Nexus 6 from Amazon. I would not have intentionally updated past the OS officially supported by T-Mobile, but during the setup, I accidentally upgraded it to Nougat 7.1.1. So far it is working great. This is the first Google phone I have ever used, and I like not having all the Samsung apps that I never use. It may be my imagination, but it seems to be running better than the Note 4 I was using.

This could be because Samsung has their own custom ui overlay "touchwiz" its been known to cause lag especially when the device is older and the software is back ported.
T-mo users, have you tried the latest 7.1.1? Since we just got the last update, I'm about to side-load. Any known issues on T-mo? I assume N6F27M is the one to go with?

Are there any non-stock ROMs that support VoLTE? (MM OK)

I live in a market where Band12 and VoLTE are required to be able to reliably call\text. All the Nougat ROMs don't support VoLTE and I can't find any information on MM based custom roms.
Does Lineage 13 MM support VoLTE? Are there modified stock roms that support it? The LG Crapware is starting to annoy me.

Any Nougat rom can flash the universal VOLTE patch via TWRP --> AOSP based VoLTE Patch
Hope this helps.

I flashed the universal patch zip file and no modem at all. Not even bluetooth or wifi.
It's going to need some tweaking to get it on the G4 but it could be done.

I'm about to throw this at my phone to try it out. We'll see what happens. Going to test using SlimRoms 7.x for 811.
Edit: broke LTE. 3G, Bluetooth, Wifi, etc work still. This is an improvement. Unfortunately since this is my daily use device I cant do any more testing. Maybe I'll buy a 2nd H811 in the future.

What to do?

I received info about Android 9 Pie OTA upgrade today. I'm not sure what to do? Is it worth to install upgrade or not? I've heard a lot of bad experiences about Pie. Any suggestion about install this upgrade or not...
You can install it... But one note if you want about smaller bug... "After update please recovery your data../ reset data " ... I'm running with Pie but manual update.. and i'm not sure about many bug on this build [emoji4]

I got the update to Pie a few days ago and everything went smoothly and have new found any bugs yet.
I'm satisfied with the Pie, there are people that have returned back to Oreo. Your choise
