Finally!! 6.0 OTA

[greyshark]

Re: Fyi 6.0 OTA on Nexus 6 available immediately after factory reset

Interesting to learn that my phone has been running a non-existent version all this time (LMY49W). Perhaps the phone doesn't really exist either.

Nope just picked up my phone and the notification was there...

Lucky you then none of my Nexus devices received the OTA.

I haven't gotten the update with my t-mobile sim, but I'm just being patient. It'll come eventually. I've already seen reports of some people on t-mobile getting it so it can't be that far out. Plus, if I were on any other phone the update wouldn't come until next year anyway.

I don't know what the hold up is. It is frustrating though.

I'm so impatient though.... Yet I don't want to flash it. I'll guess I have to wait for the OTA whenever it comes.

Re: Nexus 6 and marshmallow

Yes that IS shabby. My wife fully charges her iPhone 6S Plus then unplugs it at 9pm. At 0500 it is still 100%. By 8pm after moderate use, battery life is 80-85%. By 2pm with moderate use, my Nexus 6 is usually 20-25%. That's pathetic. My Nexus 6 is toast tomorrow. iPhone 6S Plus here I come. I've had enough of Google's BS and excuses.

My brother is always having issues with his iphone battery and he carries a power pack to get through the day. By the way, the iphone doesn't report the correct charge when nearly charged, instead it reports 100%. This is done to keep owners from continuously charging the device every time it drops a little bit which greatly shortens battery life. So, in the morning, when her iphone has been off the charger all night and it reports 100% it is plain lying. It is probably closer to 97-96%.

My Nexus 6, with the Marshmallow OTA, is now dropping about 4% overnight which I think is pretty darn good. I am getting through the day without having to keep throwing it back on a charger and ending the day with almost enough juice to run a 2nd day without charging. It is nice to not have to worry about the charge all the time like I used to with my Samsung Galaxy. It will also mean the batter will last a lot longer.

BTW, I installed the OTA manually which was a PITA because my windows machines would not recognize the phone once rebooted in sideload mode. I ended up having to do the update from a Mac with terminal.

Sideloading the OTA really is easy. I just went ahead and did it. The battery life is much better (even with as much Hearthstone as I play), and it's fun messing around with Now on Tap (even if it isn't very useful yet).

I'm just going to sideload it but I have to get off this lame build first. Off to read the other threads on how to revert back to any build before LMY48W.

Sure Verizon will update the 6 on the 30th. Sure they will. More than likely the 30th of March 2016.

I'm hoping you're right about that. Been turning off GPS to conserve battery when I don't need it. It helps a lot... And yes, I'm to damn busy/lazy to sideload the OTA.
