All things Android M

Loving the new Android M developer preview. I flashed my Nexus 5 and my battery life has went up dramatically. Before I had some sort of Google play services bug that made it so I had to charge twice a day to this:

What settings are you using? I did standard install with everything defaulted on (location, google now etc) and I'm having abysmal battery life. The only other apps I downloaded besides the gapp updates were signal check pro, Tapatalk and inbox. This is 56 minutes screen on time.

 

The only way I ever got any decent battery life on 5.x was by disabling location, google location service, google now, OK google from any screen and android device manager while using xposed and greenify to keep all my apps from causing wake locks.

Anyone had a chance to try the "App Ops"/Permission Controls ? If so do you get control of all the permissions listed at instal? Any additional controls?

It's a toggle list for each permission. Keep in mind you will break some apps robbing them of permissions they need to function. This is the message you get when turning stuff off.

I have not yet gotten the OTA on my Nexus 5, but I tend to lose patience and just install it the hard way. I really want to know if Android M will bring WiFi calling support to my phone, has anyone who has done the update seen anything like this? I read some stuff saying that Android M is supposed to include this feature, but it is carrier dependent.

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
    • 76MB Google Play System update after that, bringing the date up to 3/1 from prior 2/1 date. 
    • April security patch is already out - 738.30 MB download. 
    • What do you see with the latest alpha/ beta version?
