Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) released

Overnight battery loss: sod all.

Went to bed at 11pm with 100%, got up at 7am with 98%, so with a 2 year old Nexus 5 still with the original battery, it lost 2% over 8 hours (though with wifi - without wifi the battery might be considerably worse - something to test tonight perhaps). This was with a few Facebook notifications and the RGB light flashing away for 4 hours too.

With 23 minutes of screen-on time and 9 and a half hours off-charge I arrived at work with 90% still remaining.

It's back to how the Nexus 5 was when the battery was new (it always lost ~2% overnight), so on a new phone (or battery) standby time ought to be fantastic.

Mine was wiped during the install. My firmware install knowledge is next to non though.

If you flashed via the batch file there's a wipe flag that needs to be removed.
 
Now imagine the power consumption on a new Android device with Android Sensor Hub inside, the low rates of power draw will be off the charts if older devices are seeing that kind of efficiency!

Do you use Google Now? Curious to know if the standby times are still as good when Google Now services are in use.

Can anyone confirm if the barclays app works on 6.0 please. Thank you.

There was an update for the Barclays app today and it now opens fine, but it won't work on mine as it claims it's rooted (it's not, but it was rooted before I dirty flashed and I guess it's a hangover from that, and I had the same problem on 5.1 too).
 
The phone feels a little bit snappier here and there. But Battery wise, I have not seen any improvement at all!

A few subtle animations changes too. Like how the app fills the screen when you open it.
