Marshmallow up-date on Verizon....

Hello all;
As I type this on my tablet, my V10 is up-grading. I guess I have it set to automatically do system up-dates. Software version VS99022A, Android 6.0.
The first thing I noticed is that the Knock code has been up'ed to six taps and at least three squares. Also Google Play services needed an up-date right after the boot.

I'll be playing around with it and pass along any thing I see.

Lateck,
By the way, I'm in Arizona.
 
So far, so good. Nothing much different but a few setting options. WiFi internet seems a bit more unreliable but that was happening before, just not as often.
 
It's operating about the same as always to me.
However, there is now a new icon in the 2nd Screen when the main screen goes to sleep mode. I've yet to find out what that icon represents, but I haven't started looking into it till right this minute.

My search is on .....
 
I gave it a week, and now I feel confident saying my battery life is noticeably worse, like half the screen time.

No rogue apps, no changes in use or daily schedules, but now I have to do a full recharge mid day to make it until night.

I use Nova launcher and tend to tweak things to my preference, so nothing majorly new to me. I do regret the update.

I suppose the next step will be to do a full factory wipe, but that's just frustrating if that's the case.


2:35 screen on total and here's the last 6 hours of battery life

Guess the good news, there's quick charging :/
 
SK, sorry to read about your problem.
I personally have not had any noticeable difference with 6. (Other than the knock-knock thing).
Battery life (to me) has been the same or better, BUT I have been off work this week, so my usage has been different.

Good Luck, Lateck,
 
after marshmallow update phone has started shutting down at random times, several times during the day. AT&T is sending a new one. Anyone else with this issue?
 
No issues here. At first I went into my data usage and couldn't disable background data on some apps. I did a factory reset, good as new. No problems at all now.
