Just installed Android Marshmallow 6.0 on my Nexus 5

Flashed the factory image onto my Nexus 6 on Wednesday, together with SuperSU 2.51 and ElementalX. The version of ElementalX I first used had an issue where it couldn't read from or write to /system, which caused Titanium Backup to fail. Updated the kernel yesterday, and the problem has been resolved.

I like the improved "Do Not Disturb" mode. I've been using the Priority mode with Lollipop extensively. You can now create your own DND schedules, and you can turn it on/off from the quick pulldown menu. That's useful.

All I know is that after sideloading 6.0 I now hate the words "root", "rooting" "unlock bootloader", "mac", "apple".

However the 6.0 update runs really good. Standby mode is much better than it use to be but the big plus is that calls on T-Mobile voLTE no longer sound like they are coming from a tin can or underwater. They are no longer scratchy.

As for my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet did not get 6.0 yet just a 5.1.1 security update I will wait as long as it takes.

What's been using it? Mine has improved dramatically and it has seemingly got better every day since I installed it.
Left work today with 80%, my mate with a 6 on lollipop had 53%. Same usage times too.

Just realized the reason why I did not get the OTA update is because T-Mobile did not push the 6.0 update yet. It says on the T-Mobile site that it has not been approved yet. The version I flashed 6.0 was from Google yet my phone is working great. I am still getting voLTE and the calls are clear now. Also my reception is great. My question is will I still be able to get any OTA updates again? I am not sideloading any updates and if I have to unlock the bootloader again because updates won't until I think I will get rid of this phone and go to the competition. Thanks.

Android OS. This is a clean install. Minimal apps installed. No Facebook at all

I'm seeing completely similar battery results with the side loaded OTA. Also most of the apps that should be draining don't show up in the battery settings window.

That's because you are doing it wrong. With sideloading OTA update, you don't have to erase anything. I did it around 10 times on various Nexus devices (4,5,10) and never erased anything. You only need to erase if you're installing factory image, but that is not "sideloading OTA".

Battery life is so, so...I barely make it through the day. I do have Google Now On Tap turned on. Even though I don't find it useful. Might turn it off and see if that helps. I do get at least one or two random reboots a day. Also I can't get the phone to stay silent. It will automatically turn the volume up and start beeping when notifications arrive. I am not a fan of how the DND is implemented. Even though I go in and physically turn off all sounds, the phone decides after a few hours to turn on sound/notifications, quite annoying.

Well if the instructions online were better and actually had proper Windows instructions then I would not have had so many issues.

I said earlier that my smart lock was working. I was wrong. It doesn't work for me either. I have it set to not require the code while I'm home. I have tried it with location setting for battery saver as well as this device which uses GPS. Neither work. This is a real inconvenience.

That's weird. Smart lock works for me - at least Trusted places and On-body detection.
