What hardware? Still waiting for my N7 2013 wifi
Edit: Nexus 7 wifi 6.0.1 OTA URL just hit xda-developers. Sideloading now.

So the Moto E is getting marshmallow in the end eh.
Just got mine as well.
Yep, it'll mess up the timestamps either via Google Drive or manual back up.
Whatsapp is truly dreadful, backwards, clunky and annoying software. But we're stuck with it.
The December security update is rolled into 6.0.1 so I assume they'll push it via OTA as soon as they can.
Cool. I bought one for $10 during Black Friday.
It's amazing what you can get for $10 nowadays.

I was getting errors before the update.

Vanilla said everything I would have said. It may take a few trips out to remember to use it or get the hang of it but stuck with it. You will be racking up the rewards in no time.
gah. that truly shucks but I guess I have to make do
I really need to get rid of some digital clutter instead of being some archivist ._.

this AP story caught my attention because I have the same MMS bug, except I have 5.1 installed on my Moto X and I don't have Pushbullet installed. Is it really widespread?

What phone?
My 2014 Motorola X started doing that after updating to lollipop, but when I switched to Textra things worked fine. Google's Messenger never worked correctly again for me on the X.
On the Nexus 5x I've had it happen occasionally, but rebooting the phone fixes it.

5x here, anyone having problems with Google now detection? It's not detecting when I say it, and when I activate it from the home screen or when the screen is on the dialog comes up but there's a loud short static noise and it stops listening to me. I haven't gone through any testing to try to fix it yet, but I just wanted to see if anyone's had the same problem on any other phone?

I don't get why I get late ass updates with the last three Nexus phones I've owned. I wonder if it's a Google Account thing. The Nexus 6 I sold my sister just got the first Marshmallow update 😢

I got 6.0.1 on my nex9 last night as well.
considering i had to wait ages for my 6p to arrive it was nice
Have not experienced static noise with my 5X. I do have to turn the screen on in order for "OK Google" to be detected. My old 2013 Moto X would always pick up my voice without special coddling.
I used to use AntennaPod. Free, simple and worked great. But honestly Pocket Casts is so worth it

Well I have had a good experience with my OG tablet Z - and I want to upgrade soon, so if I were forced to pick today it would be the Z4. Sony have been reasonably good at keeping my tablet Z up to date.

Go with Antenna.
I love pocket casts, but I can see why one would be hesitant when Google announced Podcast support coming.
Meh, I just went with Pocket Casts in the end as reviews are so good and £2 from Google credit isn't too bad. Maybe I'll listen to more podcasts given that I've paid for it and feel like I should get some money's worth out of it. Thanks for the AntennaPod recommendations though.

the Target gift cards show you the gift card number and pin and you can add them to the Target app or use them on Target.com

I always just scan them from the shopkick app. Did that last night when I ran out to Target to get some stuff for the shower.

yeah, it's not really too helpful. the only benefit of putting them in the Target app or website is using them on Target.com.
Try rebooting your phone. Mine had 2 instances where that started happening (first time was after an update) but a quick reboot fixed it for me. I'm on wifi all the time at home and have no issues sending mms.
Ah, right. Usually does fix it with a reboot. I wonder why that happens..
Apparently the 6.01 update has fixes for the mms issue. Let's hope that's the case.

Samsung 14nm eh?
As a side thing, I've noticed that the official 6P case likes to trap dust and whatnot under the edges on the face of the phone. Not cool.
I don't usually have a ton of tabs open in Chrome, but it was working fine last night with a few full webpage tabs and a couple of apps open. Switching back and forth between them didn't trigger any redraws in Chrome. The only time it did redraw was because I the tablet sitting idle for about an hour and fired up Chrome which refreshed the tabs I had open. I've been using it most of the morning getting everything installed/onfigured and haven't had any sluggishness/stuttering at all. I already prefer it over my Nexus 9,

Apple still wins in lightly threaded scenarios and for 90% of the apps out there that aren't games that where it matters.
That being said it seems to be a solid step above the 810, and they didn't notice any throttling.
On the flip side I'm trying to figure out what the difference is for the average user beyond maybe battery(lol I know). If anything the new DSP to help handle image processing could be a bigger deal than the CPU/GPU.
Battey should be better as long as the phone makers don't skimp or get even more resolution. The DSP block should help if you watch video on your phone too since it won't be taxing the CPU/GPU and help the battery even further.
But, quite frankly, Samsung and Apple have proven that the biggest win for any user will be speeding up the storage.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
This shit right here is truthfact.
That could be huge though. Realistically majority of phones in the past 2 years have been just fine for the average user, so getting a big boost in battery could be significant.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I laughed cause how many years has it been that we've been hoping, wishing, and praying for that mythical battery jump that is always promised as just around the corner for android land. lol
The Galaxy S6 Active has a noticeable battery jump (3500mah vs 2550mah of the regular S6). I would gladly take the size but the phone is just ugly and has no fingerprint sensor.
