The subject line pretty much says it: Is there no Android 5.1.1 StageFright patch (the November latest) for my "pure Android" Nexus 5 other than the Marshmallow update being offered to me on the phone?
Thanks!

No there is not, the security patches are only for the nexus devices latest android build, so the nexus 4 should receive the November 1st patch on lollipop I believe as lollipop is its android version. Since marshmallow is the nexus 5's then the security patches are applied on top of that. If you want lollipop security updates look for custom aosp roms is your best bet.
Just got to say marshmallow is above and beyond lollipop in every aspect (unless you care about xposed but I am sure that is coming soon for marshmallow).

Well, I did the Marshmallow update but quickly realized Google pooched it with regard to "Do Not Disturb" and Alarms. In Lollipop, all one has to do is set interruptions to None and tap the "until next alarm" when everything returns to normal. In Marshmallow, however, that function has been removed. Good luck getting the phone to shut up until the next alarm. If the alarm is, for example, 8 hours and 10 minutes from now, you can't specify that amount of DND time; only whole hours.
I ended up lobotomizing the phone and installing v5.1.1 again (where everything just works); but, of course, there's the StageFright vulnerability.
Another example of Google's Android developers having no clue how non-uber-geeks use their phones in the real world. It's just pitiful.
Maybe Google will fix this in Marshmallow soon.

You can set the do not disturb mode in marshmallow to alarms only or priority and total silence.
If you care about stagefight its pretty much gone in 5.1.1 and if you still care just update your phone, they are never going to update lollipop on the nexus 5 anymore.

True; however, once the alarm activates, the phone is still in DND mode. You must still either turn it off manually -or- separately define the number of whole hours (not hours & minutes) until the phone returns to normal mode.
So Google broke what they had fixed in Lollipop.
Well, one week till CES where Huawei will announce the US version. Getting excited! But I was wondering. Anyone have buyers remorse at this point? Do you like the Mate 8 more or less as time goes on?
No buyer's remorse here.. I'm quite sure if a N/A version is released there will an accompanying rom as well..

Thanks. I'm trying to decide whether to get the Mate 8 (Great specs and build), Blu Pure XL (very good specs, cheap, its been rooted and has TWRP - also some promise for developer support) or stay pat with my Note Edge (I do like the edge features and it's screen is basically as wide as the Mate 8, just not as tall. also Marshmallow arrives in the next few months hopefully). Decisions decisions....

Yeah, it all comes down to how much do you want to spend.. I bought the 128GB version, I had the Mate 7 so I knew what to expect..
If I could only get notifications working properly then I would be 100% happy.

Notifications panel & status bar in settings and permission manager for the apps that are not notifying you.. Hope that helps..

Been there done that, been through every option and nothing helps. Reading around, this seems to be a common bug with emui, and the only way around this is to disable phone manager or make the apps system apps. Which can't be done without root. So, right now I am playing a waiting game.

altaz,
Similar problems have been noted in some of the other threads. Is it possible that the problem you are experiencing isn't due to actual notification issues, but that the apps you are expecting notifications from are not currently being permitted to run in the background when the phone's screen is turned off?
I'm not sure which apps you are having trouble with, but for example, with Whatsapp(?). If this sounds like it might be the issue for you (and you haven't already looked into this), try going into Settings-->Advanced settings-->Battery manager-->Protected apps and allow those apps that should be receiving notifications.
As to the original question of the thread, no remorse. So far so good. A pretty sleek, powerful phone. Just need to get it rooted.
Might be the interactions between marshmelow & emui, if that is the case a fix should only be imenent.
Nevertheless, try this ---> battery manager itself; click on the setting icon up left of the screen, you need to switch on (Keep mobile data on when sleeping).
Of course that is in congunction with the rest of the settings/permissions.
Good luck,
No buyers remorse here. Having recently had a P8Max I knew what to expect with regards to setting up notifications and permissions so they work, and for me currently no particular problems. The camera is not as good as the best of 2015, or even 2014, but I had realistic expectations there and the camera is performing well enough for me in light of the other benefits.

Seems this notification problem is becoming more annoying, i have turned on everything possible (permissions, auto start, notifications, ignore optimizations). I even found another layer of settings in the apps settings that allow a deeper level of changes (settings > Apps > Advanced) . And still i can't get emails to notify when the phone is in standby. This is even after i have left the email application on, and turned the turned the phone off via the power button. i've spent a number of hours sending myself emails in various conditions and while might get the notifications sometimes, others i may not so this doesn't help narrow down the cause.
I have now realized that it's not just emails that are affected, i don't get auto notifications in Google Photos or Rewards, and some apps which run on schedule. The google apps only update when i open the app. which is useless for apps like Rewards, since the surveys expire after 24 hours, so go knows how many i have missed since i moved this this phone. I've never had this type of problem with any other android phone, and i;ve had a fair number of them over the years. At this point, since i am not able to return the phone i am thinking that i might have to do a factory reset, and hope for the best.

altaz, no need mine works now. just follow my previous post in this thread.
Just got mine today. No remorse here, and hey there might be a rom to flash once the US variant comes out. I love this phone.
I'll have buyers remorse if one of these other A72 devices gets the same battery life and camera for <$400
I love it coming from note 5. No regrets. Glad i didnt wait for mobile congress as i was very dissapointed with both lg and samsung. Love the mate 8
i agree, while LG had some nifty ideas regarding that modularity, all in all im not much impressed with either the G5 or S7 line... happy camper with my mate 8 indeed
This is probably the first phone I ever got that I didn't get buyers remorse hours after buying it. I've come from a S5, S4 and original Note before.
hours after buying? only phone? well that sounds like someone didnt do proper research first

Hello.
I am from germany. My Mate 8 is a chinese one with original B162 Rom. Notifications don`t work for me.
What i did:
data in sleep mode enabled
apps are allowed to stay active at sleep
notification in priority mode
rooted device
made WhatsApp and Android Wear (for my huawei watch) to system apps with Titanium Backup (i bought it before ...)
freeze phone manager
I dont`t get my notifications all the time. Very bad are notifications for my huawei watch. My phone rings (WhatsApp), but my watch doenst. Then i start the Android Wear app and the notifications are pushed to my watch.
The phone is ok. I am coming from Samsung S6 Edge+. But the notifications MUST come always.
What else can i try?
(sorry for my bad english)
I had only notification issues with whatsapp - however the situation has improved greatly after I installed the app Push Notification fixer ( no root version)
Now I'd say missed notifications is very very much lessen, probably around 10+ % only
All my other apps eg Maildroid ( only mail app I used), Friendcaster, some newsfeed app, XDA etc no notification problems at all
Mine is China set on B156 firmware ( non rooted)
Hello,
i've a s7 edge + gear s3 frontier, i've been using the s3 frontier since Marshmallow but last week, when i've updated my phone to Nougat the notifications have changed.
What happens now is that i can see only the last message of an app, let's say that for instance i've a conversation composed by more than one message as follow:
"hi"
"hello"
"goodbye"
Before nougat if i clicked on the notification i was able to see the entire conversation on my gear s3 however now i can see only the last message that i've received (in the example above i see only "goodbye").
Are you experiencing the same behavior?
Thank you!

Yes it is a behavior change on Nougat and soon more apps will move to this direction when Nougat becomes popular.
However, the behavior depends on the apps you use. Some display the first e.g: whatsapp. Some display the last e.g: Telegram. Which app are you using?

In telegram and whatsapp for example i can see only one message, in MM i was able to see one message but if i clicked on the notification i was able to see the entire conversation, will there be an update to solve this?

I'm afraid there won't be official updates to solve this issue as the notifications work just fine on the phone and android wear. You can, however, use a third-party app in the store to solve this issue. For Whatsapp, you can use Whats History. For Telegram, you can try Tlgram History. I developed both apps. You can check out this video to see the app in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRV0VEIiatw
That's really a bad news ok i'll check out your app thank you!
I have a Galaxy S8+ and I am having this issue where anytime I receive a notification it will auto unlock my phone and many time go straight into the app that the notification was received from (such as snapchat). This wasn't an issue up until a few weeks ago (I presume it has to do with an update). The only way I've been able to "fix" this issue is to have my phone auto lock however I don't want to have to scan my finger print or use a pattern every single time (I typically have lock on a 5 minute delay). I dont mind the screen lighting up but its annoying that it bypasses the lockscreen because things end up getting pressed while the phone is in my pocket. Is there a setting I'm missing here?

Hello!
I have an odd issue with my samsung s8.
So in the past week or so, my phone will make a notification sound or vibrate, but nothing is in the notification bar. Also notifications for telegram don't show up either. I've checked my settings and nothing has changed. I tried to change the settings under apps - special access - optimise battey usage and disabled telegram, however this has not helped.
The phone has been working perfectly untill now.
The firmware is upto date and i've not installed any new apps recently.
It's annoying as hell.
I could reset my phone, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas?
I'm running andriod 8.0.0
Please help!
