Thanks for the follow up @Lebowski, the insight is very appreciated! So this behavior is occurring on both the MBP and the Pixel C.
Moving forward, I am going to be contacting you via PM with instructions on how to send remote logs from the Pixel C via PM momentarily, as we are currently investigating how android devices are interacting with a Linux core, as mentioned in my previous post.
Furthermore, if you could please fill out our data gathering survey found here, we would greatly appreciate the feedback!
