Android Marshmallow 6.0

[Amos91]

Anyone with a Nexus phone put it on yet?

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en

I wiped and put a fresh version on last night. So far it seems good, in a way its pretty much a polished Lollipop.

Bit early to tell, but battery life seems improved with the dozer feature.

I'll get it on my note in about 9 months!

 

[Lal B3N]

Should be out in few weeks for my G4. Looking forward to it.

I had the developer previews, but went back to Lollipop. It seemed to run well when it was on though.

Will wait for the OTA update to arrive, cba doing it manually.

 

[daveski]

Only just got Lollipop on my Note3!

The idle battery drain is superb. The doze features seems relatively aggressive at hibernating syncing apps.

I'm sure that can be tweaked though?

Yep, excluding a few system apps you can choose how individual apps sync.

So that 'Will wait for the OTA update to arrive, cba doing it manually' turned into straight home from work and flashed it manually haha.

Best way. Could be waiting for ages before an ota gets pushed!

Used to get them quite quick on my Nexus 5.

I think it would kill my N5 but I really want to try it. Something is seriously broke on it, the battery lasts less than 5 hours now on moderate usage. Need to swap it out soon but I'll try and hold out until the 6 is released.

Easy enough to do with the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit.

I think I'll sort the battery issue out first. I'll have a look and see how easy it is to strip the phone and swap the batteries out.
It'll probably come through OTA before I've sorted it anyway! Just too lazy.

How much are replacement batteries?

How much are replacement batteries?

Between £7.50 - £10 on Ebay. Looks fairly simple to do too.

 

[JamesBryan]

That's cheap!

 

[Amos91]

Looks like the ota files are out

FML 😞

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Mines just coming through OTA. Installed new battery the other day too on my N5. Snapped a couple of the clips on the case though but it's alright.
3 more weeks of this contract, Nexus 6p next I think.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Not really noticing much difference but I am using Nova so that might be masking some of the stock Marshmallow stuff.

Anyone spotted the option to modify the status bar and quick toggle settings in 6.0

Pretty cool.

LG's flagship smartphones -- LG G4, and LG G3 -- could be among the first handsets outside Google's Nexus and Android One devices to receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow software update, the latest iteration of company's Google's mobile operating system.

Sounds like it will be yeah. Either very late this year or next year i'd say.

It probably will but not for a while.
Try a new battery. I changed mine on my nexus 5 in 5 minutes. Got it off eBay for £7.50

 

[Amos91]

You'd need to investigate whether there is a specific app etc that is keeping your phone awake.

They just announced that the G4 will get Android M in Poland next week, so the rollout has commenced for their flagship device. The G3 will be a little while yet I imagine.

 

[Lal B3N]

Just flashed it to my G4. Noticeably quicker.

 

[Amos91]

Xposed has been released for Marshmallow (v77).

Amplify and YouTube adaway working perfectly!

 

[Dan The Top Bloke]

New battery has cleared it up can go a full day now and not have to charge it, WIN as for a update nothing yet.
