I have been having battery issues and random shutdown issues. So you can imagine my joy when my phone automatically started updating to 6.0 without my approval and died half way through...

When I booted back up, it went through the "Android is optimizing App 1 of 149" or whatever... And powered off half way through again. But finally finished after I realized what it was doing and plugged it in. It finally came back to my lock screen.

Now in About Phone it says I'm still on 5.1.1 but when I check for updates it says I'm up to date.

Any idea W.T.F. happened??

Do you have updates SET to automatic?

A valid question because I did not specify! LOL! no I do not. I don't think so at least. Where would I find it? Settings? Play store?

Are there any other events that can cause the phone to boot into that "Android is Optimizing App 1 of 149" sequence? Maybe it didn't actually try to update the OS, maybe something else happened? But then why does it say my phone is up to date when I check for updates, and it used to say "An update to Android 6.0 is available. Do you want to download and install now?"
