Android 6.0 update, worth it? - Micromax Canvas A1

Hi i wanted to ask some things to guys who have already installed android M before updating mine. So i want to know is the camera fine on 6.0? it was messed up in lolipop so i didnt update, next how is battery backup on marshmallow? just like kitkat? better? And lastly can i update directly to 6.0 from 4.4? i sill have kitkat.

Battery backup is really very dull. My phone was 56% at night and it in the morning it was like 28%. Disappointed for the battery.
Camera is fine for me and the new UI features are great too.
Hope it helped.

Battery issue has ruined it. Hopefully Google provides fix for Battery issue.
My battery also loses 20~25 % battery over night, even though my Data/WiFi/Bluetooth/Location is off.

I really don't have any battery problem though I didn't notice it but marshmallow is just awesome UI and some good things added

Yes..You Can Directly Update From 4.4 To 6.0
Battery Backup Depends On Your Use
Reset Your Phone After The Update...

To update your phone to marshmallow is not bad. Its good to have new features . battery issues are their , i am getting 3:00-3:30 hours of on screen time on my canvas a1 which i think is pretty good because it is a 1700mah battery ...if you face some fc in settings or any other system application then please do a hard reset after marshmallow update

Did you perform a factory reset after the upgrade? If not, backup and try that first as I have no issues with battery life on Lollipop. Also, make sure the apps you use are up-to-date as it might be one of them not playing nice with 5.0 yet...
same issue here...im stock and unrooted. I dont think greenify can do much. Phone heats up more than before and thus causes more battery drainage... i guess unless we roor the phone, we are stuck with this, or unless there is a software update from htc to fix the issue
I'm with EddyOS on the factory reset. I'd do that, but probably through hboot. I'm running lollipop slightly overclocked with a fairly aggressive custom kernel and I'm not dealing with any heat or undue battery drain. Battery life is actually better than kitkat. I'm running a radically debloated ROM, too, but even on a simply rooted stock ROM with a stock kernel I didn't have such issues.
Thanks for all. Now my HTC One_M8 battery working for automatically after 3 days of update.

I can tell you that it's down to apps and cpu.... I took update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 ... consumption was massively increased (15-20 mins lost around 10% battery power) ....later ran tr/towelroot/sunshine apps and if I left them running longer I'd have had a new room heater
Turn off after an update, see if that clears it up first, if it continues then do a factory reset

I've had a similar problem since I got the lollipop update, my battery seems to die at somewhere between 20 and 15% and the phone will turn off. Sometimes it will come back on sometimes it won't. I thought a factory reset would do the job so I ended up flashing AR HD (a factory reset was a good enough reason to move away from stock) and its happened again. Anyone any uses what could be causing it?

You can try to reset the phone or even wipe the cache if you think there are some stray settings from the backup, but I believe the battery runs down during the update process and takes 1 or 2 days to adjust to Lollipop. For me battery life seems to be better than Kitkat especially when the phone is off. BTW if you wipe cache Lollipop will take a long time to optimize apps on the next boot.
Thanks and i will try and feedback

After reading a little bit about Lollipop battery usage I believe you need to update your apps to take advantage of their new battery saving features. Old apps that haven't been updated yet could possibly use up more battery than when they were used with Kitkat. My understanding is that one of the key features is the ability of Lollipop to group together background functions that "wake up" the phone and check statuses on the internet. Instead of having 10 or 15 apps wake up the phone at random times to check email or other notifications. They group as many of those calls together so the phone doesn't "wake up" as often to save battery life.

[5.0.2] [Lag/Heat/Battery - Problems] Need advise on how to get ZL smooth again

Hello together first my specs:
Model: Sony Xperia ZL C6503
Android 5.0.2
Build: 10.6.A.0.454
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-g8fa3dae [email protected] #1 <- Vanilla Kernel I beliefe
Root: Yes with kingroot following this HowTo Link I now got SUperSU 2.46 installed
Bootloader: Locked - I didnt unlock it and I think the rooting didnt unlock it either
Apps: ~95
I have the following problems:
1. Ever since 4.4.4 my Sony ZL is somewhat laggy. With 4.4.2 I had a really smooth experience but since 4.4.4 its been a dirt road. I am happy that Sony still brings us the newest updates with Andorid 5.0.2 and soon 5.1 but I hate that my user experience drasticly decreased. Not only do games lag since Lolipop, now the UI interface is lagy and my browsers (Dolphin with Jetpack) lags. Its just a big **** up! Its not smooth anymore and it doesnt make fun to wait several seconds (3-5) before apps open or close. I have no longer any task killer, with my last it felt to decrase performance instead of increase.
2. I have a heat issue with the phone somtime it gets really hot really fast.
3. Battery doesn't hold a whole day anymore. Could be casue the phone is 2 years old already but sometimes I have really bad battery life. If I turn on GPS I can forget to use my phone cause battery dies within 3 hours and apps just collapse under the heat.
I have Stammina tunred on and @30% Low Battery kicks in. @15% Battery saver tunrs on.
Battery drops from 12% -> 0% and turns off phone. Sometimes I get to 8% and then 0%
I would like to fix those issues and I need your help and advise. Yesterday I was almost to the point where I threw my ZL out of the window but I decided to give it a last chance with some help of the XDA community. So for my phone you are the last chance otherwise I will throw it out.
My Problem: I dont really want to completly start fresh and install all apps and configure everything again. I have Titanium Backup insallted (but I dont really know how to use it). If I have to completly start fresh I will probably get a new device casue there I will have to do the same legwork anyway. Only if money is thight next month I will stay with the ZL and do it all over again.
So can you guys help me to fix my problems? My biggest problem is the lag issue. I can life with the allright battery life and the heat issue but the lag drives me insane.
Edit:
In the past I already tried to root my phone while I had 4.4.4 but at the time there was no root available yet and some tasks failed. Not sure if that had any impact.
sorry for stating the obvious, but did you reset your device when you updated to 5.0, or anytime when you updated to a newer version of android?
its preferred to factory reset the device after every new installation of a new android version. i also updated mine to 5.0 but didnt felt any lag. however i am facing a play services issue which is rapidly draining my battery. i created the mess(lol) but thats a different issue.

[Q] Phone is getting hot after installing MM KDZ, opinion?

Hi guys,
I have updated my phone via LG flashtool, i did a full wipe, and installed a totally stock Marshmallow.
I have used Fulmics ROM based on Lolli.
I feel like the phone's battery doesn't last longer, maybe even worse but maybe it should need more time with that ROM.
I watched a 10 min youtube video and the phone got really hot, unlike on 5.0.
Is that normal, should I wait (second or third time i charhed since the update), or should i look for another kernel maybe?
I rooted and have twrp, should i remove some apps? Already killed Mcafee.
Despite that the phone is fast.
Thank you!
i think its mm issue. every mm rom that i tried always has that bug. no matter what its( custom rom or stock mm). i am using miui 7 for now. waiting for that issue solved first.
---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
and btw few days ago i flashed stock mm from autoprime. flashed with twrp and i think battery life is better than lollipop. i can get 6h sot easily. but theres overheat issue. idk if thats bug or our hardware created for that. jajaja
6 hours sound so great. I have 2 hours and 45 minutes and 32% left which is about 4 hours sot, but i use wifi only.
i also noticed that even if i close the apps via close all, settings says f.e. facebook is still running.
i will wait, maybe it just needs some time. i read a hungarian forum, everybody loves MM, but i feel bad about the heating problem.
Maybe LG changed throttling settings and this is the simple reason. Maybe it is ok with the hardware but i also read that a lot of people have battery issues (i have abrand new (couple weeks), original battery now).
Idle battery drain seems to be significant, on Fulmics it was close to zero.
