Marshmallow update
 

My Virgin mobile LG G4 has just updated to Marshmallow. I can't really see a difference tho apart from all my apps need authorising on first use after the update.

LG rolled out the 6.0 update over the last couple of months. My Vodafone G4 got it last week.

Marshmallow was more about under the hood improvements, ie smoothness and battery life and app permissions. Lollipop did most of the appearance changes.

Wait for O2 to release it for my Note 4 :D

Still not got it on my LG G3 and that is sim free.

Re: Marshmallow update
 

Have they released the G3 version yet?

My battery life on my G4 has improved a lot since the 6.0 update.

I feel sorry for you guys on Android and its poor updates. I like Apple and iOS, and yes I know Android is the popular phone to own and everyone has an Android and Apple is A minority, but I just like iOS.

Yeah, my battery looks like it's doing a lot better now. I'll have to give it a few more days to really find out tho.

I think it dropped in Poland in December.

I prefer iOS over android due to the difference in accessibility - but at the moment I'd be wary of some iOS updates if you've had your iPhone fixed by a third party.

I know they say it's for security and all but even so....


Me I am on the beta scheme for iOS so I'm on 9.3 at the moment.

Not that I can really switch back to android anymore because a)the accessibility STILL isn't up to it (but not tried marshmallow yet) and b)Natalie got me an apple watch for Christmas.

I wonder if it'll help with my dad's moto g 2 when he eventually gets it. His battery life is pretty dire.

Probably as Marshmallow is said to put apps into hibernate when the phone senses it isn't being used, however you can whitelist apps on the ones you need notifications from.

And there was me thinking this thread was going to be about 12noon's attempts to make or eat Marshmallows.

I'm running a build of Marshmallow from Xda on my G3 as I type.

It's good, although one of the Kernels available for it will not allow you to use the SD Card as Internal Storage and the screen went blank (but still responsive to touch) a couple of times so I had to change that.

Aside from that, it's faster than Lollipop, battery drain is tiny overnight thanks to Doze and all seems well.
