Marshmallow 6.0 now available to download

[Puzzlegal]

According to my US Priv, purchased directly from Blackberry, a system update is available. When I went to "about this phone" to see if there was any more information, it informed me the update is Marshmallow 6.0.

I'll download this evening, when I have wifi.

You don't really need to know anything. You can just upgrade, and benefit from a slightly faster, smoother experience and better battery life. If you WANT some of the new functionality, it's nice to know it exists, of course.

Hello... something strange happened... I finally got the system update message on my priv to download Mashmellow... I did it. It downloaded, then it verified.. then when it was time to install and reboot IT DISAPPEARED (??). I m still on lollipop, the phone update section says that the system is up to date. My priv is a Model STV100-4 in UK, sim free. Anyone?

Try following the instructions found on this BB knowledge base article.. good luck... BlackBerry PRIV appears to have frozen during reboot upon upgrade from Android 5.0 Lollipop to Android 6.0 Marshmallow

And, today, it again terms me that marshmallow is available. Weird. Maybe this is just a mislabeled monthly update.

Yes it's been extra annoying for me as a beta tester downloading such huge files. Not so much the time but the data usage.

I'm not complaining though as they've done so well perfecting the experience. The battery performance is incredible. Even Snapchat for me doesn't overheat anymore (if your camera is left open than of course it still will)

That's new to me. I was one of the first to experience problems with hot device and laggy boot up, which they have now fixed.

I strongly recommend not using Adoptable Storage because you will experience significant overhead on the GPU which is bad for the battery. I'm easily getting more hours of battery life leaving the SD card as portable

Why don't you download the updates over WIFI then?

If the Update disappears and you get "Phone is up to date" you can try changing the date a two or three days ahead and then checking again. It has worked for some people.

I guess i was just lucky to get marshmallow. I've been enjoying it. No major visible changes, but more options around app permissions, and the whole experience just feels smoother.

And now T-Mobile is pushing it out. Finally...except now I have to figure out how to sideload.
