What's New in Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Update !

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 21, 2016       

Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow is rolling out for multiple Smartphones and Tablets . Although Nexus and Google Android One Devices already got Android 6.0.1 Update few months back !



The Question is ! What's New in Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Update ?


Android 6.0.1 isn't a major update , but still here are the new Features which comes with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow -

1. New Emoji's -

Android 6.0.1 comes with 200+ New emoji's support . The emoji's will come pre-installed with Google Keyboard application ( Android 6.0.1 ) .

2. Double Tap for Camera -

Quickly Launching the Camera application by just Double tapping the power button is the new feature of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow .

3. Lag in Copy & Paste Selection -

Android 6.0.1 will finally fix the Lag in Copy Paste Selection , In Android 6.0 When we selected a text , it take few seconds to popup a floating toolbar of Copy , Paste and Select all .

The laggy popup is fixed in Android 6.0.1

4. Bluetooth and System Media Volume Controls -

Its the first time Android brings Bluetooth and System media controls . New Android 6.0.1 Brings Bluetooth and System Media Volume Controls which allows headsets, speakers, and car stereos to manage volume loudness on your phone .




Android 6.0.1 Might have bought new features with the update , But It has still not fixed major Bugs of Android 6.0 Marshmallow , which includes ( Battery Drain Due to Wifi , Lagging and some other bugs ) .

Should I update my Smartphone to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow ?

If your Smartphone is running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow , then you should update it to Android 6.0.1 . Android 6.0 Marshmallow has many bugs that needs to be solved and Android 6.0.1 Solves half of the bugs .

Its very easy to Install Remix Os via Official Remix Os USB Tool , But to all Jide fans Its not Official Remix Os USB Tool , its just a themed unetbootin ( Tool available for Windows and other platform ) . And that violate General Public License .




The Linux Homefront Project also found that , Remix Os that is based on Android-x86 has copied almost every thing from Android-x86 project ( same boot logo , build prop etc ) and that violate Apache Public License .

Although that doesn't seems a very big issue , but still !

10 Features That Should Have Been In Remix Os 2.0 (But Aren’t)

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 16, 2016       

Recently Jide revealed Remix Os 2.0 for PC's and Mac . Remix Os 2.0 is based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and is basically made for PC's and Mac . It is multi-windowed Android Os through which we can open Multiple apps and Games at Once .



Remix Os is all together a fully-fledged Desktop Os , but it lacks some features ( that Jide might add in future updates ) .

• [Guide] How to Install Remix Os ( Dual Boot )

Here are 10 Features That Should Have Been In Remix Os 2 (But Aren’t) -

1. Battery Indicator - There is no Battery Indicator , we can't see our Laptop/PC's battery status / life .

2. Third Party launcher Support - We can't install any third party launcher !

3. All Application's and Games support ( It doesn't support many applications and games ) .

4. Live wallpaper Support - Currently Remix os 2.0 Doesn't support Live Wallpaper .

5.Advance Menu - The ( Jide Logo ) menu just display apps and games ! There is no options for Accessories , Recently Opened applications , Games , Images etc .

6. More Sooth user interface - The UI seems to be heavy and it hangs some times while opening multiple apps .

7. Widgets - There is a widget option , but it has only few widgets such as ( Play store , Chrome and Google Drive ) , There should be Widgets like Battery Indicator , Weather , Sticky Note etc .

8. More Internal memory - Even If we are installing it on a Hard Drive , it only Gives 3.9 GB memory space , Memory space should be according to the space where Os is installed .

9. Controls Support - There must be an advance option to setup Keyboard keys as a Controller ( For apps and Games ) .

10. Direct Boot -Every Time we have to choose Guest Mode or Resident mode ( That are of no use in actual ) , There should be a Direct Boot or an option to permanently choose a Single Mode ( Guest Mode or Resident mode ) . 

Apart from these , Jide has just done amazing Job in bringing Android Os to PC's . The Os is just awesome and can be a perfect Os for PC's in future .

Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen : Before and After Marshmallow Update

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 10, 2016       

Moto G 3rd Generation ( AKA Moto G 2015 ) comes with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and Recently Motorola updated it to Android 6.0 Marshmallow ( Stock Pure Android ) .

Marshmallow update enhanced Moto G 3rd Generation but there always 2 sides ( Good and Bad ) of everything !

So here's is a full review of Moto G 3rd Generation : Before and After Marshmallow Update -

User Interface -

Motorola only uses Stock Android , So Android 5.0 Lollipop and Android 6.0 Marshmallow are almost identical in terms of User Interface .

In fact According to performance , Marshmallow is more smooth over Lollipop . In addition to , Marshmallow has new animations , new Launcher  , System UI tuner , Now on Tap and many more changes over Lollipop .

USB Computer Connection -

USB Connection Options Lollipop Vs Marshmallow ( Moto G 2015 )

In Lollipop We have only Two options while connection Moto G 3rd Generation to Computer , i.e Media Device (MTP) and Camera (PTP) .

While in Marshmallow We will be having Advance options while Connection our Smartphone to Computer , i.e Charging , MTP , PTP and MIDI .

After Updating Moto G 3rd Generation to Marshmallow One will not be able to access External Sdcard through Computer ( It Might be a bug ). 

Solution - Format your Sdcard ( External ) and then try accessing it through Computer .

AnTuTu Benchmarks -

Moto G 2015 5.1.1 Lollipop AnTuTu Benchmarks

Moto G 2015 6.0 Marshmallow AnTuTu Benchmarks

After updating Moto G 3rd Generation to Marshmallow , Performance , RAM optimization , CPU Floating Point Performance, 2D 3D Graphics Performance and SD card read-write speed has improved .

There is no lagging , performance is improved and Applications / Games are opening a bit faster after updating to Marshmallow .

Geek Benchmarks -

Geekbench 3 Lollipop Vs Marshmallow ( Moto G 2015 )

Geekbench 3 is used to measure the full potential of device's processor , Marshmallow really increased the performance as well as potential of Moto G 3rd Generation .

Battery -

Battery Life Lollipop Vs Marshmallow ( Moto G 2015 )

Moto G 3rd Generation takes approx 2 hours 10 minutes to get fully charged from 1% to 100% on both Android Lollipop and Marshmallow .

After Marshmallow update the Battery life got terrible , Battery will be draining a lot faster than Lollipop after Marshmallow update . It can be seen that WIFI is eating a lot ( approx 40% ) of Battery in Marshmallow .

On Android 5.1.1 Lollipop ,When Charged Battery to 100% , Battery lasted for 1 day, 7 hours, 26 minutes , After a normal usage .

In Marshmallow it lasted only for 1 day, 1 hour, 3 minutes . 

Dialler -

Dialler Lollipop Vs Marshmallow ( Moto G 2015 )

The new Marshmallow Dialler has some advance settings and new Recents Style , that is better than Lollipop's Recents . 

Pros and Cons of Marshmallow update on Moto G 2015

Pros -

• Smooth UI
• Better RAM management
• Now on Tap
• Expandable Storage 
• Advance USB connection Options

Cons -

• Battery life is terrible 
• Can't access Sdcard from PC ( Though it can be fixed )
• Double Chop For Torch Isn't working that easily !
• No option to Mute Camera Shutter Sound .

Marshmallow is good , but not for Moto G 3rd Generation ! Moto G 3rd Generation was always better in Lollipop . All One wants is a great battery life and For now Marshmallow can't provide that . May be that will be fixed in 6.0.1 Update . 

All I can say 5.1.1 Lollipop was better than 6.0 Marshmallow on Moto G 3rd Generation ! 

Comment below , whats your experience with Android 6.0 Marshmallow on Moto G 2015 !

Motorola Mobility isn’t going away !

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 09, 2016       

Yesterday we and many other blogs posted that Lenovo would be phasing out the Motorola name .



Today, on their official blog, Motorola posted that " Motorola Mobility isn’t going away , Motorola and Lenovo Will just work Together in this endeavor .

Motorola Mobility Will remain the Central Part of  Lenovo’s corporate architecture .



Here's the main Statement from Motorola - 

Now, as we have to think more holistically about our entire smartphone portfolio, we’ve made the decision to focus our marketing efforts on “Moto” and “Vibe” as our hero smartphone product brands globally. At the same time we are not abandoning the iconic Motorola brand. Although it will not be the focus of our marketing, it will continue to be used on packaging and elsewhere, so as to ensure that the rich history and association is never lost. The legacy and the goodwill associated with the Motorola brand will also live on through our licensees.


We also will now use the Lenovo brand to the fullest as we participate in one of the most competitive businesses in the world. Lenovo was recognized last October as one of Interbrand’s top 100 global brands. We are one of the few technology companies that can offer people a complete PC + tablet + smartphone experience and we see that as a major competitive advantage.
