My pocket would appreciate the relief of a smaller Nexus.

When I read the title of this post I read it as '6 Signal bars! " First thought was, most phones only have 5 and the Nexus 6 doesn't even have bars..... This one goes to eleven! Posted via the Android Central App

Hey guys (and ladies, hi) I am running the above build on AT&T, just received the stage fright security fix that was promised last week. Thought folk might like to know. AMA? Posted via the Android Central App

I ran android M for a day then went back to lollipop. It's definitely a preview, lots of app crashes. I think it's going to be a solid release in November, lots of good stuff. Posted via the Android Central App

Cool man. Going to flash it later today. On a scale of 1 to buggy, how is the build?

Haven't flashed it yet. Will let you know if I have issues.

I think the issues is this bug with lollipop. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=165558

You still get google now cards if you disable location history, it merely limits the cards you get. You can still receive weather etc, but nothing that would rely on where you are in relation to where you've been, like commute notifications etc.

There are some apps that can intercept the intent from the UI action of swiping up from the home/back/recent apps keys. I have an app called "screen off and lock" when I swipe up the phone locks. Between that and active display my power button gets super sad and lonely. Shamu to you too *splash*

If you tap the sides and wiggle the phone its usually enough to wake the active display, so you can turn it on without pressing the power button Shamu to you too *splash*

I think of it as a bonus and spin my phone on the table when I'm bored. Shamu to you too *splash*

You should see if you can hobble along for 7 months. I love my N6. Best phone ever. I imagine, however, the next Nexus will be 64 bit and will be a bit more future proof and may be smaller. You could always pick up something cheap like a Oneplus and then sell that and the N5 in November to buy...

wow. I have the black leather dbrand.... but that white looks so good... Shamu to you too *splash*

Sounds like an app issue, unless the system isn't handling the audio focus correctly. Shamu to you too *splash*

My wife is a low use person, she usually finishes the day with 17hours on less than 2hrs screen time and 40%-45% left. Me I can hardly make my nexus last 4 days on a charge. Shamu to you too *splash*
