And I woke this morning to find that I had the N update finally available. Unfortunately, after reading about the battery and BlueTooth issues, I want to do the Factory Reset routine to make sure I get the cleanest install possible, but I'm out of the country for a week starting tomorrow, so don't have time to deal with all that entails (and can't lose my airline apps). Looks like this will have to wait until I get back. But, I've waited this long ....
Well, I actually ended up installing N
before I my trip, sort of by accident. But, the install was smooth and uneventful, and I am apparently one of the fortunate few for whom nearly everything is going fine. As I mentioned in the thread about bluetooth issues, my BT has been a little glitchy since the upgrade but, for the most part, it's working pretty much as before and not causing me any significant angst; and my battery life has settled in at close to the same as before the upgrade. A few new features I really like: the volume rocker is now functional again when the screen is locked (something I complained about having disappeared with a prior Marshmallow "security" update) - it's a little thing, but I listen to music a lot and was annoying to have to unlock the phone just to change the volume; the new settings bar at the top of the notification shade is extremely convenient; and I discovered the split screen multitasking functionality completely by accident and LOVE it! Not a huge fan of the new monochrome notifications themselves; they all tend to blend together, but it's not a huge deal, and I am liking the ability to reply to texts and emails directly from the notification. Just a few thoughts so far, for what they're worth.
