Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition (24.11.18)

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

When I am at the office my phone usually is just sitting there on my desk, so Doze would kick in for me. But, I find that battery drain now when the phone is sitting idle is extremely minimal anyway, so Doze would not make much more of a difference.

Actually, the more I think about it...Google is pretty devious. Android users the world over clamor for better battery life. So Google announces "Doze" to help improve battery life. There's just one catch...you have to set your phone down and not use it or touch it. Image that. By not using your phone you will improve battery life.

A bit of tongue in cheek as I realize that phones, even when not being used, consume a significant amount of power. And Doze was created to alleviate that issue. But I still find it amusing that in order to take advantage of this feature...you can't touch your phone. Am I the only one who is piqued by this irony?

If you leave your car off parked in the garage you will get better gas mileage

I think Moto's sleep function works almost as well as Doze. I have left my MXPE off of the charger a couple of nights and no more than 4% of the battery drained either time.

I find it a bigger deal for tablets than phones.

Nope. Android devices have had historically bad standby time. Doze addresses that.

No you won't. The car is off so MPG remains the same.

You analogy doesn't work.

It's more like sitting idle in traffic.

The better analogy is

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

Well for a lot of the day at work I sit my phone on the desk and don't really look at and often I'll go to meetings (for hours on end) where I don't need my phone so it just sits on my desk. I have pushline set up on my desktop for incoming notifications. Also handy when you leave it in the house on a the side .

The device has to be both immobile and not being used for doze to work. It essentially is trying to clone iOS device's low battery bleed. Still not as good, but better than it was.

Want some funny reading, go back and read posts of people estimating battery life would be twice as good. This is after the huge letdown with Lollipop in the same regard. Funny stuff.

The better non-analogy would be for people to stop buying all the hype BS that Android team spills out. They did it with Lollipop and folks bought all the great battery life BS, just as some are with Marshmallow.

What is the Timeline for Android M Release for the Moto X Pure Edition?

Does anyone have any news on the release date for this software version? It's been about a week since people have been in the soak test, so maybe another week? I'm getting super anxious for it haha.

Re: What is the Timeline for Android M Release for the Moto X Pure Edition?

if you are rooted why not install custom rom with MM? if not rooted sideload the soak test OTA.

Re: What is the Timeline for Android M Release for the Moto X Pure Edition?

Supposed to be the week after the soak test so this week or next.

I can't recall them giving an actual date for any update other than the same day it's officially announced.

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

for those with mm, are you able to download the new version of Google Camera?

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

Just got my marshmallow update this afternoon. I was part of the soak test, but Motorola had my IMEI wrong, so just got the update today.

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

Just when I thought I was getting too impatient for MM, now I want 6.0.1. How long after the marshmallow update do you think they'll push the next update?

I don't have the marshmallow update yet, but recently, my phone lasted from 10 am to almost 4 am without being used while sitting at 9% most of that time, which was nice in case I happened to need it in a pinch. The standby time I get even without Marshmallow is substantially better than previous phones I've had. I suspect the lack of bloatware helps quite a bit.

Considering it is just Emojis, the December security patch and 2 very minor tweaks (one fore tablets only) I would think pretty quick. There is not much to the update. The security patch might be decoupled from 6.0.1 so Moto can get it out by itself faster but I we'd get it pretty quick.

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

Moto hasn't released a single security patch for 5 so I don't know why they'd suddenly be fast with 6

From what I've heard it wasn't needed the phone came updated with the stagefright patch
