5.0.1 for Nexus 6?

[Benjamin_NYC]

Battery life is really dramatically improved in 5.0.1. It's like my battery meter doesn't even move!

To add more detail to my post, I would say when the phone is in use, the battery usage is the same as before. However, when dormant, it uses almost no battery. Seems the background processes have been made more efficient. Overall, this seems to be leading to longer life.

Same here.
I let it sit for a couple of hours and then when I look, it says there is like 46 hours of battery left.
Looking good.

last night I sat for 4 hours trying to sideload ota 5.0.1 and I finally gave up. This morning I thought my active display wasn't working properly, thinking all my attempts yesterday might of made something glitch, I decided to just erase and restore my nexus.

I removed my sim card and started the restore process, after the phone restarted and I entered the wifi password, I got a prompt to update to 5.0.1.

So, this might be something for someone to try if they haven't got the actual OTA of 5.0.1
-First try to manually check for the update
-Then remove your sim card, try again, try rebooting, recheck manually.
-with sim card removed, erase and restore.

That was nearly two weeks ago for me, same thing. The update never came back.

Mine came back again today after a reboot, downloaded then went to the screen telling me my system was up to date. Something is whacked. I'm going to try a FDR.

This worked for me. Turned off the phone, removed SIM, restarted and the updated downloaded and installed.

looks like that might be a trigger to have it update.

So let me get this right, 1st Turn off the phone, 2nd remove the SIM, 3rd restart the phone - update downloaded, 4th install update and finally re-insert SIM card? is that the correct order of things?

That's how I did it. I popped the Sim card in while it was updating.

Jeeze I still can't pull the darn update

Lol nevermind. As soon as I said that, it popped up after doing the steps you all laid out. Just took a couple of minutes after the boot.

No luck, didn't work for me.

The battery life is definitely better than before post-5.0.1. Whether it be background changes, efficiency adjustments, etc, it's great.

I'm seeing pretty much the same battery life.. I've actually not noticed anything different.. first day I couldn't get LTE for about six hours but since it's back to how it was on 5.0...

Aside from a bug in recent apps being fixed, I don't see any difference.

Still no update for my AT&T branded Nexus 6 yet.

I don't get this. When the phone is off, removing the SIM and replacing should do nothing. The SIM is inactive when the phone is off, no?

you boot the phone without the sim, this sim is inactive.
