Android M OTA update

[anon(9072051)]

Uh, guys, this was posted today: On Nexus 6 Marshmallow factory images and Project Fi | Android Central

Not to mention we know the M preview already has WIFI calling built in and works perfectly fine.

Uh, yeah, I read Hildenbrand's article after I posted my reply. Did you read it? Here's the last paragraph:

"Our advice right now is to hold off on your manual updating via factory image until we get an official word from the Nexus team. That is, unless you're comfortable with flashing and wiping and flashing again. It looks like things are working well, but looks can be deceiving."

AFAIK we don't know and won't know until Nexus 6 phones on T-Mobile start getting updates. But I'd be surprised if T-Mobile doesn't get a special build since they did before.

Android since v1.0. Linux since 2001

According to this, the TMO update will be out later this week. T-Mobile to begin pushing Nexus 6 Android 6.0 update this week » TmoNews

I took that quote in reference to Project Fi. It seems no one has had issues with the M preview on Tmo with WiFi calling so I assume as the article stated that "word is that there will be one unified software build for all models of the Nexus 6."

Tmo is also showing the software version is the same as the factory image:

This is a Good Thing. The more phones can get standardized, unified builds the better things are all-around. Get the carriers out of the update process as much as possible.

Couldn't agree more

They've been saying there would only be one 6.0 build on the Project Fi G+ page for a while now. We'll see what happens, but for now I'm inclined to take them at their word.

sometimes the updates can take a few days, depending on region and carrier.

There appear to be T-Mobile users posting on Reddit that they have run into problems with the MRA58K factory image:
