I've had like 80 Chrome tabs (in the recents, tabs merged with apps) in 5.1 before upgrading to Marshmallow. I usually open tabs and keep them until there's time to read.
After upgrade to 6.0 I've noticed on both Moto X 2015 and Moto G 2015 the same odd behaviour: it only keeps like 15 tabs at most (6-7 on Moto G) and then once you open a new tab it closes the oldest one!
Does anybody know what's that all about?
Please don't advise to switch to old-fashioned Chrome style, that is not a question.

Since I am new to Moto Gallery (and I am glad they added back Album view today), I was wondering if there was any way to get rid of the date overlay that pops up when you scroll through pictures? I've looked everywhere.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow for Motorola Moto X Play
Motorola released the Moto X Play flagship with pre-loaded Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS with minimal changes to stock Material UI. Now Google is going to unveil Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system on 29th September. Obviously Moto X Play is in the Marshmallow upgrade list with top priority. So Motorola may start the intial rollout of Marshmallow update to Moto X Play in the end of October. But some users may have to wait until November to taste Marshmallow. Motorola may start the rollout first in the US and other North American countries. Users of Play edition in Middle East, India and European countries may receive the Android 6.0 update in November or December. Full details about rollout dates will be revealed in coming days.
1. DO NOT DISTURB
Through Do Not Disturb, users can set different silent modes according to their need. Users can access Do Not Disturb feature in Quick Settings toggles directly from the Marshmallow home screen. In that three modes will appear : Total Silence, Alarms Only and Priority only. Users can set any mode for a few hours. More customization will be available for Do Not Disturb through the More Settings button at the bottom. Google may improve Do Not Disturb feature in the next updates. This is a updated version of priority notification of Lollipop.
2.APPS PERMISSIONS
This Feature of Android M has been speculating for many days and now the full details revealed. With Android M users can use individual permissions to allow or deny apps. Google has simplified the permissions feature in Android M. In Android M, permission request will appear when the app requires that particular permission and not at the time of installation. For Example, Whatsapp will request one time permission request to use mic, when we tap on record voice message icon. So users can decide to give permission to use it or not while using apps. When users want to change or view the permission setting for any app later, they can do that in the Settings. So android m is giving full control over apps to users through permissions. This is a noble feature of Android M. Google may further develop this feature in future android versions.
3.NEW VOLLUME CONTTROL
Google improved the volume controls in Marshmallow better than Lollipop. So when user click on volume up or down buttons, a volume settings box will appear on screen. This box let users to change media volume, ring volume and alarm volume independently. To set in vibrate user have to tap on the Bell icon in this screen. So Android 6.0 Marshmallow volume controls are much better than Android 5.0 Lollipop. In Marshmallow there is no need to go into Settings menu to change volume controls independently. As said above the customized Volume control screen will appear as soon as user touches Volume up or down buttons. Actually Windows Phone adapted this setting a few generations ago and now Android got this.
4.DOZE
In Android M, the tech giant introduced a new battery saving function named as Doze. With motion sensors, Doze recognizes automatically position of device and usage of device. So Doze recognizes whether the user asleep or kept in a table and saves battery according to the needs. In Doze mode also, alarms will work and priority notifications will appear. According to Burke, they have tested two Nexus 9 devices, one running on Android M preview and one running on Lollipop. The device running on Android M preview gives two times more standby time than the device running on Lollipop. Android M also supports new USB Type-C ports which allow greater amperage and fast charge the device. Users can also charge other device with these USB Type-C ports. Android M will manage better these ports. As Moto X series don’t have these ports, this feature of Android M is useless for Moto X users.
5.GOOGLE NOW ON TAP
Android 6.0 Marshmallow brought new app menu design which deviates from previous Android version. Upto Android Lollipop all Android versions feature horizontally scrollable app menu. But in Marshmallow Google introduced vertical app menu. The App Menu appears much smooth and fast than previous app menus. Search bar also comes with new app menu. So users can type in the search bar at the top of app menu to find required app. Users can easily find the required with search function in the new app menu. The Marshmallow app menu also provides the list of recent of on the top of the menu. So users can easily launch recently used apps. Google may improve this new app menu in the next update to Marshmallow.
Please note that they are not numbered according to priority
one disadvantage is that it uses more storage than lollipop now we only have about 10Gb free out of 16Gb.

Hello everyone, overall I'm enjoying my Moto G5 plus. An excellent phone. I have one minor quibble. The Timeweather widget reanimates everytime I unlock the phone. This is a small quibble, but I don't like waiting the 2 beats until the widget opens everytime I unlock. I prefer a widget that is just present when I unlock, like the Moto G4 Timeweather widget.
The work around I have attempted is to simply install an older Moto Widget. The Moto G4 widget will not install because it says the package is corrupted. I suspect this is because the .apk is very close to the Moto G5 widget and the system doesn't like it.
I have successfully installed the Moto Z widget. However, when I go to widgets off the home screen, the command center widget is not there!
Any help would be appreciated.
So I just rebuilt my rooted / stock Verizon G7 after manually applying the latest update, and noticed something weird (to me). The Nova Launcher Prime that I have used for years wouldn't stay the default Home, it kept reverting to the defaut Moto launcher. I made sure Nova was set as default, installed on internal storage and had all appropriate permissions, but it would flip back to Moto after a minute or two. I uninstalled almost every app, because sme people suggested this, but it still happened. I installed several other launchers just to test, but they had the same problem too.
The fix was to freeze/disable the Moto launcher. But this brings us to my problem.
The Recent menu button with the Moto launcher has the cool Pie Recent button where running apps come up horizontally. After freezing the Moto launcher, the Recents come up in the older vertical way. I know some people prefer the older way, but I genuinely prefer the new one. Nova previously let me use the horizontal Recent list, and I am pretty sure (but not positive) that I had the Moto launcher frozen.
Does anyone know how I can get the recent menu back to horizontal? I have GravityBox (P) installed, but this is one of the few things that it doesn't appear to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know this isn't a big deal, the phone works perfectly well and performance-wise, it was a steal for the money. Magisk, TWRP, xPrivacylua, AFWall, GravityBox, Nova and a few other largely aesthetic tweaks make it mine. But this one little thing is really annoying me, and I suspect that a lot of you know what I mean. Sometimes, perfect functionality isn't enough.
Hello, is this a bug on the new Android 11. My Verizon Galaxy S10 doesn't show the top notification bar on the home screen anymore. In apps, it shows. For example, right now in RIF app I can see the time, my icons, battery. Not when I close the app and I'm sitting on the home screen.
Is this a bug? I read something on a Google Pixel thread on reddit that it's a feature of Android 11, but I want to confirm that. I can't recall this happening all week (or two) since I've gotten Android 11.
no issue on my 10+.
