Adding to the releases that the company made last week, Sony has released the Android Marshmallow update for another of their devices.  If you are an Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact owner, Marshmallow goodness is coming your way via an OTA update that should be hitting your device any time now.  The update you are looking for is build 23.5.A.0.570 which, if you remember, is the same build number across several other Xperia devices that have received the latest version of Android.

After teasing the update last month, Nextbit has released the big update to the Nextbit Robin that brings a slew of improvements and updates.  The update is rolling out now as an OTA update and should hit all devices out there over the course of the next few days.  The banner part of the update is, of course, Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 and the update includes the April security update as well so you are getting the latest-and-greatest version of Android on the device.

The Bank of America app for Android has been updated and with it comes support for fingerprint support for sign in.  Now if you have an Android phone running Android Marshmallow that has a fingerprint scanner, you can now use it to sign into the app to get to your accounts.  The update takes advantage of Marshmallow’s fingerprint API and adds to the app’s already support of Samsung’s fingerprint API.

Good news this morning for owners of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge on the AT&T network.  There is a new update to Android Marshmallow available for each device that among other things brings you the April Security Update for Android.  The update has been released by the carrier and it will take a few days for the update to come to everyone on the network but when it does, you’ll have the latest update from Google along with a few other tweaks from AT&T themselves.

Google has released an update to the Google Camera app for Android devices that, effectively, is the camera app that will be in Android N.  It brings a wealth of new features including the ability to take stills while recording video. The update is build 3.2.042 for those keeping score at home and it has been released into the Google Play Store.  If you have the app installed, the OTA update should come to you in the next few days.

It has been a busy week for T-Mobile and it is only Tuesday!  Today the US-based carrier started the roll out of the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update for customers who have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ on their network.  The update, build G928TUVU2DPD1 for those keeping score at home, is a typical hefty update at 1.3GB.  You will have to be on Wi-Fi in order to download it to your  S6 Edge+ and as is always the case, the update requires a restart of your phone and should take between 10-20 minutes to complete.
