Google has decided to withdraw the update to Android 7.1.1 Nougat from the Nexus 6. Very recently, the Google company launched the update to this version. Now it has had to be withdrawn. And that the Nexus 6 was the last team to receive this package.
Unfortunately, Android 7.1.1 Nougat did not bring much good to Nexus 6 users. Many bugs and specific glitches were detected. Some have been resolved with the March security update. But the straw that broke the camel's back has been the failure of Android Pay support. The system has stopped working properly on Nexus 6.
The Google community manager has explained that users who want to continue using Android 7.1.1 Nougat on their devices can continue to do so. In return they will have to endure the different failures detected. Not surprisingly, all the problems have not been fully resolved. Not for the moment.
The rest of users will be able to benefit from the update via FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) or Through the Air that the company has launched. What will this data package do? Well, to return Nexus 6 users all the peace of mind. From that update they will start to enjoy Android 7.0 Nougat again.
Problems after returning to Android 7.0 Nougat
Some Nexus 6 users who have installed this update to return to Android 7.0 Nougat have experienced new issues. However, Google had already warned them.
It is possible that after the update, the Nexus 6 still malfunction. What the company recommends in this case is to do a factory reset. That is, start from scratch.
This will involve getting rid of all the content and applications that we have installed on the phone. That is why before starting the process we must make a backup of everything that we consider important.
