@dashing.sujay - so how has your experience been with the new update (most importantly with regards to battery back-up)? pls do let me know when you next come online.

Couldn't update phone due to data pack unavailability

It was dad's phone, not any more with me but will surely let you know after asking.

hehe. alright. anyway, thanks, but not needed anymore. couldn't resist and updated to 5.1.1. seems all the more swift & snappy now, with the buttersmooth & better-looking UI. although yet to take a note properly if battery back-up has taken a hit or is optimised now, but no noticeable change in first glance as such.

* After the first installation, system ask to use SD as internal storage, and need to format the card. ("i don't like to loose my file so i select as external storage")
*After Upgrade Lollipop to Marshmallow some of the Apps not worked, when i try to uninstall it after few seconds system reboots, i don't know its the nature of the OS.
*in lollipop unable to move the whats app to SD card, now its possible move to SD card, after moved the app to SD card system responds very slow i don't know the reason why?, now it fine and working smooth.
*some of the UI are changed need to check that.

Note: i forced the device to get the Update

Note: i forced the device to get the Update

thanks for the heads up, i will wait till they force me to get the update

 

[Gollum]

I got the update automatically yesterday as soon as I switched on WiFi
Had to delete some files as update was 300+ mb

 

[ankushv]

Is there a difference between 498 and 498h model , besides the inclusion of hindi ?
Does it receive the same updates ?
Bought it for 3800 on Flipkart for use a secondary phone .
Is there a stable cm 12.1 for this phone ?
Also are firmwares interchangeable for the 3 Android one phones available in india ?(spice , karbonn , micromax) because they are all identical .

After update to Marshmallow my battery drains very fast, any one face that problem?

[icebags]

are you sure no background/foreground app or screen itself did eat the battery ?

 

[anandharaja]

Yes, even if i not use the phone, the battery drains very fast. anyone updated to marshmallow.
night it shows 34%, morning shows 3%. very bad.

 

[Minion]

looks like some hardware module acting weird if it is a software problem then battery stats would mention those.
Looks like google screwed again with Android M.Whats wrong with these guys.
