is there any way to speed up the boot time on the prime like setting services to start after boot up or stopping certain services from starting at all
I found a system file that allowed you to boot with no boot image to allow faster startup but it won't be much faster as it has to mount your internal sd card and load apps ect.. If you have a external card remove it then insert it after boot and see if the time improves.???
Other than that why are you turning it off? Over 8 hours you will lose like around 1% battery while getting few emails
The deep sleep on the prime is crazy as the companion core Is running at 102mhz which is great!

I'm guessing that once we see some custom roms we will also see faster boot times.

I dont know on HC, but ICS boot time is very fast.
At least on my Galaxy Nexus
You will get ICS on Jan 12
It boots faster if you never turn it off.
All Android devices tend to boot slow (although the Prime is the slowest I have seen). I just turn off wifi, GPS, and bluetooth when I am done and try to avoid actually turning it off.

agreed! my TFP is still in teh mail but my inspire has 0 battery drain with all the radios off. seriously, it could last me days/weeks if i put it into airplane mode when i'm not on it
Mine takes about 1 minute 45 seconds. I timed it but just once.
Mine takes 45 to 50 seconds. It used to take a good 2mins but after factory reset and apps put back it's a lot speedier.
Just seeing this threat. Mine is also incredibly slow--at least 2 minutes. I'll also try a factory reset to see if it improves.
I actually came in here looking for a thread about boot times and here one is. Mine takes an incredibly long time to boot (running androwook 2.1). Upwards of 2-3 minutes boot time. Driving me crazy. Maybe a factory reset is in my future too.
Need to reduce the boot time
i am using a self modified rom for the tablet hardware that i specifically chose, so i have tweaked most of the drivers and made some changes in the kernal for viewing the debug messages.
but when i finally done all the changes it booted for a 2.50 mins.So i disabled the unwanted debug message andit reduced to a lower value of 1.27 mins.
i wanrt it to boot within 40 sec max could any one please tell me what has to be changed in the kernel for this.

I use ED01 ComRom 2.0 with pbj50 voodoo kernel.
I tried rebooting several times to fix this problem.
no luck..
Cell Standby on my phone still shows me wrong "time on" and about 50% of time without signal.
Even though it has unplugged 1 hour ago, Cell Standby "time on" says 2 hours..
I don't know why it's doubled up..
Anyone has the same issue?
It's a froyo bug that many devices suffer from. It has to do with at what time the modem is initiated and at what time the frameworks start to report the time on and doubles up the information reported. There is even an app for lg devices running froyo that toggles to airplane mode for 10 seconds at boot to compensate for this bug. I've tried it myself, it works but 10 seconds wasn't enough and screwed with data reliability. Work around that I use is before shutting device to reboot is to put the device in airplane mode. Upon boot wait till media scanner finishes with the sd and unlock and turn airplane off. And now your "cell stand by" reporting will match the "time since unplugged" stats and yield correct information.
good day.

ohh.. thank you for good info.
I was wondering why because my brother's HTC incredible doesn't have such an issue like that.
I noticed this, that even with both of our Rezounds having been De-Sensed, and all the bloat removed, that they take an insanely long time to boot up.
One phone is unlocked and perm rooted, the other is not. Both phones have "fast boot" enabled, but they both take a solid 2 minutes to boot up and get to the lock screen.
Any idears?
You would think that not having to load Sense or any of the 20 useless bloat apps, that the phone would boot faster, but it takes longer than any phone I have ever owned, bar none.
It's the way that HTC decided to build Android on the Rezound...nothing more, nothing less. You'll probably see significantly lowered times when we get AOSP on here. I mean my OG Droid took a good minute to load until I got my first AOSP ROM(Cyanogenmod)
Mine boots in like 5 seconds from a dead power off. Fastest phone I've ever had.
If i "reboot" then it takes about a 2 minutes.
Ok, so it isn't just me then... I mean, I have a 3 year old laptop running Windows7 that takes 1/3 the time to boot up than this phone takes, which seems crazy to me.
So I guess it is better to turn the phone off and then boot it, instead of rebooting it? I will try that and time it and see what the difference is.
I was wondering this too. Good to know!

With fastboot enabled, it will boot that fast from a power down...
I noticed this too when I first got it on launch day. I was at the bar with a friend and she had a Droid 2 and I mentioned that it takes insanely long to boot up, so I decided to set up a "race". I hit reboot about 5-10 seconds before she rebooted hers and her's was fully loaded before mine even got to the sense lockscreen! After freezing all the apps I didn't like, installing a custom ROM and using autorun manager it seemed to shorten a lot. Haven't re-tested the "race" yet though just to see if it's placebo or not.

My phone boots in under 30 seconds every time, even after a battery pull. I get the haptic vibrate before the LTE animation finishes. I don't use Fastboot.
then clearly you've got the one magical rezound out there, because every single rezound i've ever used and booted up takes god damn forever, including mine lol

Mine only takes 30-40 secs on fastboot to boot up.
When I power off and power back on, it's very fast, less than a minute. If I reboot, it takes a long time, 2 to 3 minutes. Strange.

Just tested mine and from the time I pushed "restart" on the reboot screen to the time the lock screen came on it took 2 minutes and 15 seconds. I then shut the phone down and from the time I pushed the power button until the lock screen came on was 1 minute and 35 seconds.

I rock SenselessROM, probably similar times? Or could it be DSB's kernel?
Has anyone tried using the ROM Toolbox Auto Start Manager to disable applications from loading at boot?
I feel like that might help out with boot times.
I too notice that doing a shut down and then cold power on takes like 30 seconds, but a reboot takes 2-3 minutes full turnaround.

duh, then NO WONDER you boot in like 30 seconds...should've said that in your first post
Power off and power on is different than a full restart. This phone goes into hibernation when you power off that's why it boots faster. Full restart or battery pull is what the post is talking about.
disabling apps from starting on boot does help boot time. Also certain roms boot faster.

I'm in dire need of some help. My phone is a stock unit that has had no modifications to it at all. It started shutting off randomly a week or two ago, usually when I would use GPS, bluetooth, or the internet but it does happen when everything is turned off (GPS, bluetooth, and wifi) When I turn the phone back on, the battery would be totally drained displaying to a critical level. This would cause the phone to shut back off. I can repeatedly turn the phone back on, and usually one of the times the battery will be displayed with more charge and allow me to use it, but if I did anything other than make a call the phone would shut back off. This problem does not occur if the phone is plugged in and charging (never shuts off randomly and the battery does not drain). I have already tried factory resetting the phone multiple times and that hasn't seemed to help. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried a new battery? Sounds like your battery is on its last leg. It could also be battery contacts on your phone, make sure they are clean and actually touching the battery when you insert it.

what ROM are you using? are you overclocked? I had similar problem with some roms overclocked, my phone would shut down, restart, battery drain was horrible!! during calls would be the most annoying it would turn off and was walking have a conversation with the plastic by my ear .after some research and testing the problem was my overclocking was unstable at 1.2 + running on 1ghz after a while the problem went away
Your phone will restart or shutdowns randomly..if
1.You overclocked GPU or CPU to high performance.
2.You flashed any unwanted zip files for performance or somewhat.
3.You make the phone very heat[Main Reason].
Instructions:
1.Avoid playing high end games for long time(Like me).
2.Avoid playing high end or medium games above 20mins. while charging.
3.Don't allow your phone to heat.(Due to temperature).
4.Try Re-flashing your current Rom(if you installed custom rom).
5.Try flashing your phone.
6.Check your phone completely for viruses with a better antivirus.
7.If the problem is after installing some apps..Try uninstalling that.
Thats all i Know!
happened to me before more than once I agree that you should get a new battery but if you have to wait in the meantime, what I did was:
1. pull the battery out let the phone cool down
2. I put it back in and turned it on
3. If it turns on okay drain the battery till it shuts off by playing music
3. repeat 1 and 2 and if it turns on okay again repeat step 3
4. if not then let it stay off and charge it to maximum and it should be useable
I did this because I assumed that the phone for some reason wasn't reading the battery levels properly so I made sure that the battery was fully drained then charged it to max to fix that. It worked for me but its just to make the phone useable as I still needed a new battery. It drained very quickly and I had to be charging even 3-4 times a day on heavy use but if I only made phone calls and texts it got me through one day.
My Pure XL began acting very strange after I dropped it- I've given up on the phone really at this point. I need to retrieve my files from it, but I come to some issues. The phone doesn't even turn on 90% of the time. For some reason, if I wait a while and then try, it does start up, and either a) gets stuck at the Blu screen, or if it makes it past this which happens more often than not, b) it goes to Optimizing App X of X. Usually it gets to about 10 or 12 of 185 or 195, then freezes. It's completely unresponsive and the only way to turn it off is by disconnecting the battery. I tried waiting at this frozen state for about an hour and it did not unfreeze. I've been trying to get it to boot for 2 days now, and earlier today it jumped through all the way to about 100 of 185 but then froze. I've tried turning it on in recovery mode, but since I don't know if it will turn on most of the time I forget to turn it on in recovery mode when it does manage to turn on. I feel like not all hope is lost because the phone seems to be functioning for the most part, but I just can't seem to get past the Optimizing app. Currently the phone is not rooted but it has been rooted before.
Also, today I've noticed sometimes the optimizing app nearly finishes, but it is very choppy and laggy. I got to 187 of 194 and 182 of 187, but it then freezes like it would normally. Factory resets or similar are out of the question since I don't care about the phone itself rather the contents.
Now I'm having trouble getting it to turn on at all :/
so I no longer have any consistant method to have it turn on... I thought I'd get through because optimizing apps went smoothly almost to completion but froze..
I was able to start up in recovery mode and wipe the cache partition, but upon rebooting I am stuck on the Blu screen...
Is this forum dead or something?
Haven't been able to even get it to power on regularly.. maybe twice today and both stayed at Blu screen.............
Another power on, also stayed at Blu screen... can't find a consistant way to get it to turn on :/
This forum sure is dead
Hi people, nexus 6P owner since 2 years now. I remember when I received the phone I could reach without worries 5 to 6 hours of Screen but then, after nougat and now Oreo, I've never achieved again that numbers.
After rooting my phone, flashing carbon rom and installing elemental X kernel, I played with governor profiles and improved my SOT a little over this year but it was getting worser and worser by every day (2 to 3 hours of screen on time and heavy idle drain). Finally, the real problem came the other day when for the first time my phone shutdown at 29% suddenly after opening the camera.
So I read internet and found in the nexus 6 (not 6P) forums that someone suggested a solution concerning a problem with how the phone meter the battery remaining, suggesting doing a series of steps of charge discharge that I will list here. This, and changing to ABC rom may have done the trick, as now I'm getting much more normal battery life (considering the degradation of 2 years, 2700mah left approximately) of 4, 4 and a half hours (yours will be better) SoT and an idle drain of less than 0,5% per hour, and apparently it didn't shutdown early anymore.
So, give this steps a try if you tried everything like I did and you still having problems with battery drain.
STEPS THAT MAY SOLVE EARLY SHUTDOWN PROBLEM:
- Charge your phone to 100% and use it until it shutdowns (look at what percentage).
- Boot to recovery by pressing power and vol - button, and once in there let it drain the battery until it shutdowns by itself (may take a lot of time so increase brightness to maximum in the recovery menu under settings to consume it faster).
- Now it has really reached 0% and if you try to power it on it won't let you by blinking red in the notification led.
- Plug the charger and leave the phone off until the battery indicator show it's full.
- Unplug it and turn it on, it should show you the battery at less than 100%, like 95%, 90% or even less depending on how bad it was calibrated (mine showed 95%).
- Plug it to the charger without turning it off until reaching 100% and only then unplug it first and then turn it off quickly.
- Plug it one more time (off) until the icon shows it is full and then unplug it and turn it on, now it should say a number closer than before, like 98% or 99% (mine was 99) or it may be 100%. If it shows 100% then you're good to go with the calibration, but if it shows less, repeat the process by letting charge until 100 and then doing the same steps as before until you turn it on without charging and finally it shows 100% battery.
Please report back if this steps worked for you, because for me I think it made the trick.
Now for the battery drain what I did was this steps,
STEPS THAT MAY STOP THE POST-NOUGAT HEAVY BATTERY DRAIN (android OS drain, etc):
-Unlock and Root the phone
- Install ABC rom (check the post here in XDA)
- Flash ElementalX kernel (also here)
- Install the app "ex kernel manager" from the play store
- Enter settings and disable printers (you still can enable them if you have to print something)
- Install Greenify from the play store and select all the apps that don't use notifications.
- Uninstall unnecessary apps that you don't use anymore.
- In the Ex Kernel manager app go to CPU -> governor options and select "load". Choose one of the following recommended profiles: Excalibur V2, Dragon Fly v1, Butterfly or DeadPool. (Or check the guide in XDA about governor profiles).
- Finally activate the run on boot option and reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache and then boot into system.
If you have luck like me, your phone will run very smooth and battery life will be normal to it's current degradation. My phone now last me all day like before and I don't have to charge it twice or three times like I did and best of all, when I don't use it, it almost don't lose battery (2 to 3% overnight).
Also I've never seen again that android system process consuming the same amount as the screen!
I hope this serve someone and maybe save some phones too , I never resigned my 6p because it's a great phone with one of the best cameras out there even today and with great speakers too.
Please let me know if it worked for you! Of course I don't promise it will, but you have nothing to lose anyway! Good luck.
Pd. Sorry for my English , I'm from Argentina
UPDATE: Today my nexus shutdown at 10% but only because I opened on purpose the camera to check if that is the problem, and aparently it is. I've read that when then phone has low power, an app that consumes a lot of battery like the camera may cause shutdown to prevent the phone damaging internal components. So no fix for that at the moment, just don't use the camera with low percentage.
Hi, I don't know if this thread is still on but I'd like to say that I had the same issue. I have a Nexus 6, as you said, and I've installed on it the Resurrection Remix ROM (Neo version). After that, the phone suddenly shut down everytime it reaches 20 or 30 %. I tried two solutions they suggested me;
1) In bootloader menu, go on bootloader logs and press start button for 10 seconds more or less (when you get Google logo and the phone actually boot)
2) Try to reboot the phone in Safe mode and then back in Normal mode
I've also tried to calibrate again the battery (maybe I did it wrong); I followed a guide on it but I can't remember every step of it (if interested I'll try to find it again). Nothing worked, the phone still presents the same issue and I really don't know what to do. I'd like to try this too hoping it works otherwise the last thing I can do, I guess, try to flash again the ROM. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much
P.S.
The battery works PERFECTLY; before I flashed the ROM it worked so damn good so I really can't believe that it needs to be replaced, I know that the phone is really old but it always worked fine so it's more logical presume that the problem is with the flashing
Using Stock Nexus 6 Shamu Kernel, with last TWRP and RR OS
Just replace your battery - you might think it's the flashing etc, but at the end of the day my money is on your battery just having called it day, which they can do quite suddenly.
I found that once that early shut down starts it gets worse quick.
It's not that big of deal to change out on these phones anyway and if you do it yourself it's cheap (15 dollars or so). - I've just done it for the second time, not that I was having early shutdowns with my first replacement but after about 18 months life was starting to wane.
Just sharing my experience with my nexus 6p.
Early shutdown problem sure gives us headache. Already tried several methods like calibration, reflashing to factory images, downgrade to minor build or major build, none of them works.
The only solutions that works for me is replace the battery, only cost between $10 to $20 for me (it depend on type battery that you buy, mine is OEM one)
Hello, giving a try to the OP guide regarding early battery shut down. Just a quick question - how long does it take for battery to drain out while in recovery mode? Screens been on for like 2hours now, I see top right screen corner the battery % completely disappear, but recovery still usable. Just wonder, how long it will take for phone to auto shutdown while in recovery mode?
And if this does not work, I'll just replace battery, like @reintakura wrote above.
This device is a disaster. Does it really work?
I tried this the other day. The phone shut off when the low battery came on. I kept powering it up. The first few times it shut off immediately. The next time it turned on and said I had 10% left. Let that 10% run down, it powered off. I kept powering it on... it would boot. I did this maybe 50 times, every time it would boot and then shut down. Then the last time it got "stuck" on the Shutting Down screen. I let it sit like that for a good 10 minutes. It never powered off, it just was stuck on the shutting down screen. I held the power button down to initiate a hard shut down. Plugged it into the charger, device off. Screen said it was 100% a few hours later. Turned on device, device reported 100% used it until it got to 70% and then the low battery light came on and it powered off. Let it charge overnight with device off. Right now it's slowly losing battery, I'm at 76% and it hasn't shut down.
Strange stuff going on.
i was facing the same problem, two days ago i returned to 8.1 abc rom
i'm getting 4h sot and no early shutdown
I can't believe I spent $200 on this **** phone and waited 3 years to get it thinking its the best thing since fried rice, mine started shutting down at 20-30% now it shuts down anywhere from 30-85%!!!!!!!! ahahahahahaha in the end its my fault for buying refurbished, someone obviously sent this crap back already and they did nothing to fix it and conned me into buying it.

Hi, there. This reply is way late, but I've been away for years and I've only now decided to come back, so I'm necroposting on everything that's relevant to me right now. I hope that's not a serious offense.
I've had my 6P since August 2016. I bought it NOS from Google Fi at a slight discount. It worked like a charm for me for years until around winter 2018/2019, when it started shutting down in the cold. I figured that was understandable. I bike a lot, even in sub-zero temperatures, and I tended to keep my phone in the breast pocket of my windbreaker.
It didn't care too much for that.
So, I started putting it into my backpack and it stopped shutting down.
Then, this summer (2020), the battery went off a cliff. It's been dying anywhere from 80 to 10% since June. Maps and the Camera are the big killers, but the battery will plummet from literally any use.
Yet, it will idle for days if leave it alone.
I recently decided to just wipe the thing back to factory and see if that solved anything. It was quite a feeling to scuttle all of my SMS (I backed them up to my Google account, but it seems like they've gone to some mysterious corner of the Internet from which they cannot be retrieved. Alas). It was kind of a catharsis to throw it all away.
I did back up all my media, however.
The factory reset solved nothing, so I tried the OP's recommendation. I loaded into the bootloader and, instead of waiting on the primary screen, I went into (stock) Recovery (my phone isn't yet rooted) and ran the display test a bunch of times. I alternated between that and selecting "Barcodes" since the all white screen is a bigger drain on the battery than the black and green default.
Eventually, the thing died, but it took hours. This, despite that it would die at the snap of the fingers when in the OS. Strange. I charged the device while off until it said it was full. It came on at 95%. I followed the OP's guide until it turned on at 100.
Yet, it still started draining immediately.
The current culprit is "Mobile Network Standby," which is rich because this phone has no SIM, so why is it even bothering to try and futz with the mobile network? I had been keeping the device on Airplane Mode, but I'd forgotten to turn it back on. I just reactivated that mode, so we'll see if that helps.
However, if I watch a guitar repair video on YouTube (pretty staid, not like gaming or an action movie), the battery just nosedives again.
I don't think that rooting and flashing a new ROM is going to solve this issue.
I bought a replacement battery. I'm just not eager to try and install it. So I may just try root and flash, since it's easier. I guess we'll see what happens.

I bought a replacement battery. I'm just not eager to try and install it. So I may just try root and flash, since it's easier. I guess we'll see what happens.

your battery is probably aged, I got the same problem and replacing battery is the only solution that'll work.

I reckon that you are correct. However, I am noticing that my phone hasn't crashed since I followed the OPs charging guide. That's something, at least.
Although monstrous battery drain is still a huge problem. I will be swapping the battery.
My question is: root first and flash something custom, just to see what happens? For evidence gathering ... in the name of empiricism.
Or just go ahead with the swap before doing anything else?

yeah try root and installing ABC oreo ROM if that doesn't make differ at all then replacing battery is the only solution.
