Re: Android 6.0
The Moto G does NOT support VoLTE or WiFi calling, on Lollipop or Marshmallow or Nougat or whatever stock rom, never will... Motorola has stated that.
And yes, that is exactly what I meant, having a SIM in has zero effect on update speed, as long as you have an unlocked, retail version the update comes direct from Motorola and the carrier has nothing to do with it. The phones "pings" the Motorola OTA servers roughly every 4 hours and queries your IMEI number, if it's in the pool for an update you get a notification to accept or defer the update. Nothing you can do on your end to speed up or slow down the process like a Nexus device or carrier branded phone.
I don't believe there is a magic setting for this, my network mode is just LTE (Recommended) and it works beautifully, the switch takes only a second or two.Ah i see.
How come my moto g on T-Mobile doesn't know how to switch back and forth when calls come in? Can you show me if there is a setting?
Doze mode only has an effect if the conditions are correct... The phone has to be idle and not moving for a while, like sitting on the nightstand overnight, if the conditions are correct I see battery drain reduced by about 1/4 to 1/3, normally 2-3%/hr now between 1% and 2%/hr. That being said, they changed something in the kernel which increased screen brightness, vividness, and sharpness, the screen on battery drain has increased a little but the tradeoff seems worth it.How big was the Doze mode effect with battery life? Also does this version of Marshmallow have Wi-Fi calling?
Also, are you saying that leaving the SIM card out has no effect on the speed of the update?

LG G4 supports Band 12 LTE, VoLTE, and WiFi calling, the Moto G does NOT support any of these features, it's like comparing a Toyota to a BMW. The LG G4 also costs 2-3 times as much as the Moto G... and you get more for money.Also, while I don't see this issue you are asking about, I know I'm not getting the best T-Mo coverage with the Moto G. This has been confirmed with a phone purchased through T-Mo recently. The Moto G does not support all the bands T-Mo uses. On the phone bought thru T-Mo (LG G4), I'm getting strong/useful signal in some areas where my Moto G is almost useless. I'm seriously thinking of switching phones cause of it.
