The Android Device manager. And the service has been finally launched.
The service helps you track your lost Android Phone over a real time map. Even you could make your phone ring remotely and even clear and wipe all the private data in case of a theft remotely, so that your data is kept private and safe. To use the service head over to the Android Device Manager website. There you can select your device from the list of recent devices that you have used with your Account, and then it will try to find your device on GPS. It will remotely turn on the GPS and once it connects to the device, it will start showing the exact location of your device on a map.
Once the device is located you could also make it ring, which is for the use if you have simply misplaced it and it is not a case of theft. And the phone continues to ring for 5 minutes on full volume, to turn it off you need to press the power button on the phone. And if you still can’t find it , you have a safe option to remove all your private data, so that it does not go into unsafe hands.To enable wipe phone data you have to go to the google settings app and under Android Device Manager enable allow factory reset
So the app looks good as off now, lets hope that they introduce some more interactive features to make the service more handy and useful to the cause.

This is not a new app but it’s something that we’ve just recently discovered and one that we thought is useful, awesome and amazing enough for us share it with you.
AirDroid is a simple to setup and easy to use application that allows you to manage your Android device wirelessly from the web browser on your computer. The app is a really great way to access stuff on your Android device. You can manage files and documents on your device’s micro SD card, you can drag and drop files to and from the device, and even access your contacts, call logs, emails, and a whole host of other things too. You can also text using the app as well as download and install apps on your device all wirelessly from the web browser of your choice on your computer.
The interface is pleasant and you don’t need to root your device to access most of the cool features of AirDroid. You don’t even have to install anything on your PC either. Just key in passcode or scan a QR code and you’re done.
This is something we really recommend you try out. Download the free app from Google Play here or just scan the QR code below.

What is Flash-Transfer?
It is an app which provides a file-sharing functionality to your smartphone using Wi-Fi tethering. It can be used to easily connect to another android smartphone and then transfer apps,
images or any other files you may want to. We all have to agree that it is indeed a clever way to transfer data faster, given the slow speed at which Bluetooth works. This doesn’t even use your data plan, just connects to the other device over Wi-Fi.

Why Flash-Transfer?
Though similar apps already exist in the market, what defines Flash Transfer is its unique style of sharing files, aptly termed as Swipe & Share. It allows swipe like gestures to share photos, that seems more like magic rather than a useful feature. As illustrated, the photos being swiped out simultaneously comes into view in the receiving device, which is really a fun thing to watch. There is also a shake and share feature.
Its simple enough to configure and use, that once you open the Flash Transfer app on your phone or use the Swipe & Share option from the Gallery or File Manager, you can invite someone to share with. This invite appears in the form of a QR code which need to be scanned by the receiving party on their device to get connected. Once done, both phones can simply share any number files or apps that you want without any data charges.

Sorry if this was answered somewhere, but search didn't return any results.
I don't even know what to call it.. It's the second slider right under the brightness one. What the heck is it?

Never seen it before neither have I see an option to enable it anywhere. I'm using the leaked MI6 4.3 rom. Was it there by default?

There is a bug in google backup service
There is a bug in google backup service, google backup service acquires wfii connectivity lock and does not release it for hours which prevents device entering deep sleep and as a result drains battery. Fortunately you can disable backup in Settings->Accounts->Backup and Reset-> uncheck 'Backup my data'. This should resolve the issue ... after a full recharge monitor your battery stats - Android OS should NOT be on the top.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After some investigation I've came to a conclusion that the problem is in the wifi manager itself. In normal case this lock should be held no more that 1-2 seconds for the entire battery charge. I've developed an application that will give an automated solution for this problem.
h_t_t_p://kvant.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.kvant_hv.BatteryLeakResolver/7/4579526/Battery%20Leak%20Resolver%20(OS%204.3)
When I make or answer a call and put my phone up to my ear the proximity sensor kicks in and the screen shuts off. However, when I take the phone away from my ear the screen doesn't turn on again. Sometimes(maybe 25% of the time) I can press the power button to wake up the screen but usually the screen is just stuck off until the call is ended. I don't even have a screen protector that might be getting in the way.
Anyone else having this issue?
Android 7.1.1 (Build N4F26I)
Haven't had this issue and I used stock for a while, the same build as you are on.. What were you on before? Did you use any scripts or kernel tweaking apps that may have left something on your SD card? I'd look using root explorer or another file manager and delete anything you see in that folder etc/init.d and reboot. (Screenshot attached) If you have nothing in there and don't have any scripts active or kernel apps controlling your screen off I guess it could be faulty hardware. (Power buttons always are jacked up on Nexus devices. I have to hit mine a few times to get it to work...) Maybe try a factory reset if nothing above applies or works that's what I would do. Copy all your stuff to your laptop or a cloud and wipe that baby in twrp. Format data then go to security settings and encrypt again if that's what you want..
Edit
If none of that works I'd contact Google and ask for a replacement.

Got the same issue on PN6, it was the elementalx 2tap to wake feature that's was problematic

So I've been using the a neat feature on the 5T to disable network access on apps that chew up my data plan (specifically Spotify). I have a premium Spotify account and all my music is stored offline... Spotify doesn't need to waste my data to populate album art and lyrics.
This doesn't really play well when Spotify needs to check in with the mother ship on first start after a reboot.
Long story short, I'm trying to figure out a way I can invoke this option with either Tasker or a shell prompt. I've found that disabling background data modifies /data/system/netpolicy.xml. I'm just not sure if the setting is cached elsewhere and this file is used after boot.
I've also seen that I can disable ALL network access with the 'svc network enable/disable'... But this isn't quite what I'm looking for.

Have you tried data sever option? It can turn off background data for apps.

As seen in the attached screenshot above, I can do exactly as I need manually by toggling the 'Disabled DataUsage' option. I'm looking for a way to toggle this from either an intent action or shell command so I can essentially automate this with Tasker.
Basically, I will set up a script like this:
Open Spotify
->Tasker script starts
Enable cell data for Spotify
Wait 60 seconds
Disable cell data for Spotify
This leaves WiFi unaffected and won't waste my data plan.
