I did a manual check earlier and nothing.. Did a check just now and had 3 'small' updates pending.. less than around 3mb in total. Maybe pre-reqs? Installing now.. maybe a bad idea as i'm about to leave the office and head home!

I had the same 3 small updates - after running them I saw the full Marshmallow update which is currently running
Not unlocked - I am on Three UK

So far so good
Had to set permissions on a few apps, but everything working fine
Be interesting to see what happens to battery life, particularly with doze

Yep downloading MM 6.0 now

I'm liking it apart from the white keyboard.. I like my theme and don't want to change it all around just to get a black keyboard that will vanish next time I change themes..

Got it.. So far so good.

Would have been better if you could use the 4th nav button to LOCK the nav to stop it from hide at all.

I'm peanut butter and jealous. I'm on AT&T here in the US(I know I know, but really we don't have any better choices) and will probably receive this update a few months from now.

To be fair, the only thing I wanted it for was being able to set permissions per app individually.. ie. remove access to location for apps like Facebook, or remove microphone access to games(!).

Doze seems to be doing its job, my battery life seems pretty decent so far. And I've even turned the CPU performance back up to max in developer options.

Had it for little over 12 hours. My initial findings are that performance and speed of apps has increased which is definitely noticeable. So far so good. I will report on battery life soon

Been using now for a couple of hours speed is better. Is the doze function automatic? Noticed in storage section os is now at 7.3GB is this right seems large.

 

[tryatt]

The storage seems a little confusing? I now see App storage, SD card, emulated storage and emulated 0 - or something like that.

Doze is automatic. As long as the phone is unused/not moved/no sensors are being activated it will switch apps into doze mode. I've excluded a few apps (whatsapp and outlook) just in case.

Hi all,

Also updated my unlocked M8 a few days ago and everything went nice and smoothly only thing i didn't like was the white keyboard but a quick theme change fixed that. I was eagerly awaiting the next release of a new phone from HTC as my M8 is nearly two years old and had stopped sounding alarms and in coming calls intermittently which was as annoying as hell. After this upgrade to MM which needed nothing to be done to my phone other than the previously mentioned theme change as all my apps and setting were kept intact its like having a new phone and it's working 100% perfectly again. I'm no longer caught up in needing and wanting the newest and fastest device as soon as it comes out race so will just move to a Sim only deal and save roughly 50% in line rental and continue with my now perfect M8.

Updated my M8 on Vodafone yesterday. So far so good, everything seems a bit smoother and faster. Not had a deep look into the settings yet.
