Well a week on and all seems well on my Nexus 5. No repeat of the memory leak issues experienced when switching from KitKat to Lollipop. The battery life is probably a good 20% better too

This is good to hear, HTC have announced the GPE M8 will be getting 6 very soon (this month it looks like) so I'm hoping 6 increases battery on my M8. Love my M8 but was very tempted by a 6P.

I've had issues in connecting to the Nexus5 from my PC following this update. Looks like I'm not alone. Un-installing, and deleting the Asus driver from windows has helped.

Put Marshmellow on my N7 (2013) with no issues, running really smoothly and battery life seems to be excellent. Wondering whether EE will bother putting it out for my One M8 before I come to change it.

Convert it to a GPE phone like I did, Mine was originally unbranded but with the HTC version of Android on it, Converted it and never looked back.

I've three devices connected to the same GMail/Google Apps accounts. This morning two of them were showing notifications of mails delivered to one of the accounts. But my Nexus 5 running 6.0 wasn't showing the notifications at all. I had it unlocked and was using the browser for nearly a minute before the notifications of the mails came through from the standard GMail app. So first thoughts are that Doze does work, but also seems to stop what could be important push notifications coming through.

If others notice the same thing I think you'll have to enter the battery menu and remove your relevant apps from the optimisation list (in my case above the GMail app).

Just landed on my LG G3, nice that the SD card is now treated as extra memory and any SD installed apps no longer have to be moved back to the SD card after updating.

You're absolutely sure about that? If have Marshmallow on my 2015 Moto G, and despite setting the SD card up as Adoptable storage, I still have to manually shuffle things back and forth and the unused space on my SD card is effectively wasted. Not impressed.

I think you might be right, the way the LG now displays app information is now in one list, there is no "installed on SD card" section which allows movement, it's been moved into the app information itself with a 'change' button.

There is no easy way to see what is on the SD card and what is on internal. The lack of that made info me think they had fixed it.

Painless install though, nothing to setup like I had read.

Installed it on my OnePlus One t'other day.. it's nice. Stable too, though Lollipop was for me too.
