Good news! Let us know if you run into any issues.

I got it last night on mine. I'm still getting used to everything. I was going to use my SD card for internal storage, but it said it had to format it. I didn't want to lose everything so I went the regular route. Now there's no apps to SD function as far as I can see. Other than that, it seems my battery life is a little better and it seems the phone is a little snappier.

Never mind. I found out how to move apps with a little bit of trial and error.

Darin,
Can you move any app to SD or only specific ones? What were the steps you used to move the apps? TIA

 

[Darin Gallagher]

Re: Finally Got Marshmallow

It's only specific ones like before. You tap on the app in the menu under settings and if it's moveable there's a button. If not, no button.

Thanks Darin. I figured it was the same as before.

I was hoping it was all of them, but no luck.

Re: Finally Got Marshmallow

I just found out that if you update an app that was already on the SD card you can't move it back. Wonderful...

Hi, I have an XT1068 with LXB22.99-16.3 build (Android 5.0.2). Will I recieve the update? My phone never updated to 5.1 so I have that dobut.

 

[Darin Gallagher]

You will probably get it eventually. Mine didn't go to 5.1 either, just from 5.0.2 to 6.0.

I decided to have do a little research and I ended up downloading the OTA file and updating manually, my phone in particular is much faster now.

 

[Perham]

Where did you find the OTA file? And is it just a case of downloading it to the phone and searching for updates? Or does it involve fastboot?

Sadly, i have noticed that my phone lags a lot after updating to android M. Also the battery drains out quickly if i compare it to android L.
I have to wipe out cache twice or thrice a day or maybe just restart the phone the same number of times.

I'm currently on 5.0.2, what version of M is the upgrade, is it 6.0? Currently on the fence if I should upgrade or hold off. Anyone else having anything +/- to say about the new update.

Android "M" is version 6.0, code named "Marshmallow." I updated on 2/29 with no issues. Battery life appears to be better.
