Android 6.x "Marshmallow"

[colin79666]

Update received on my Three Nexus 5 last night. Took about 40 minutes to install and no issues to report as yet
The update from Kitkat to Lollipop resulted in real memory leak issues and had to reboot every other day or it would grind to a halt (fixed in 5.1) so time will tell with Marshmallow but no indications of such an issue this time round. Battery life seemed better today but will know in about a week for sure.

Anyone else got 6.0 on their Nexuses?

Should be getting it on mine in the coming weeks. The feature where you can search the details on a page looks really useful!

All nexus owners can update by side loading now or waiting for OTA, my HTC One M8 Google Play Edition should have 6 soon.

Not all Nexus owners

ie My N4 & N10 are not getting it which I think it weird, as the lesser specked Android One's are getting it.

Tempted but waiting for a decent custom ROM for my N5. Don't want to lose features I've got used to.

Pity about the N10 too. Mine's got loads of life left in it. Great tablet

I was really disappointed with my N10..

Got an original N6 running a M ROM, not stock

What are the advantages of M?

The internet is full of speculation and waffle, but I can't see a consise list...

Not been offered it yet but I think I'd rather wait a few weeks anyway. Let the early adopters find the wrinkles for me.

Won't be going near it on the Nexus 7 after the problems with 5, having to learn how to roll back to KitKat to get the device working again!

Probably be OK on my S5 though I'd imagine.

From past experience with Android updates the best thing you can do to your Android device is go to the settings and turn off updates.

Think one of the main advantages is Doze which seems to be getting good reviews so far from websites, basically saves battery when asleep.

better app permissions as well.

Was hoping it would have RSAP, so that cars made in this millenium would no longer only interface with phones from the previous one. But no, looks like that got canned.

I can't remember any Android device I had that got worse through updates, and I had a lot of them.
I know there's people with problems with their N5 & N7, but neither of them failed for me, then there's all my other devices that have consistently gotten better through upgrades, so I can't agree with that statement at all.

[AJB88]

Always best starting off with a clean install IMHO

Thank you
Doze sounds like the sony stamina mode!

Mine updated last night.

No obvious changes, other than background wallpaper now showing a picture of a cliff.

Is it worth it? If google thought that the nexus 4 wasnt up to it?

[colin79666]

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

Nexus 4 is more than capable to run it. Just that it has come to the end of support life. In reality it shouldn't have got Lollipop I believe.
