State of the Droid Turbo: 2 months in

I switched to Textra a while back so that I could have a dark theme . But before I switched I had no issues with the messaging app .
 
Anyone having issues with the messaging app slowing down? Mine doesn't want to delete threads. Lags a bunch.
Try rebooting.. Clear the cache of the app you're having troubles with.. If go through recovery and clear the cache on the device..
 
Can you clear the cache for the messaging app? Not the crap Verizon one but the regular stock phone one? Should I just switch to hangouts ?
 
To clear the stock text app, go into settings, apps, all, messaging, I'd chose clear data and force stop... Then perhaps reboot.. See if that helps..
 
Just saw this and am sharing. Really it's old news, but this report of "Breaking News" just came out today.

Just over 3 weeks in and I've loaded every app I want and need. On my old phone I would usually not run full boat, meaning I'd be a little more careful about not overdoing it. Not to mention I was constantly ROM'ing the last few months so I never really had a chance to run full boat.
This mother is taking it all with aplomb. (Love that word [aplomb, not mother]).
Turbo says: "Is that all you got?"
The battery is great, but I do question that 2 day claim. I remain skeptical. Even when I don't play Ingress, the best I've done is 45% remaining after a full day. So going overnight without a charge and expecting it to go the next day? No chance, unless you baby it.
I am in love with the Turbo charger, though. Get home from work, down to 28%. Got a bunch of running around to do. Plug in the phone in the kitchen, get my kid ready for Tae Kwan Do and by the time we leave I can EASILY make it the rest of the evening.
Overall, I'd give the Turbo a solid 8.5/10.
Not a 9 because:
A) No phone is 10.
B) Not totally in love with the form factor. The G3 is my personal favorite for "in the hand" feel.
C) The Ballistic Nylon. Hate it. I have 2 frays on the phone, and Google (search) says this is common. They are tiny, but annoying. So I guess I will have to get a case now. The main reason I got this phone was the battery and the "break it, we'll replace it" warranty. So I would have no worries going naked.
*Note: On my personal scale, no phone has ever rated 8.5. So take that into consideration... ;)

The main reason I look forward to updates, like lollipop, is just to make sure everything goes smoothly and glitch free... Not really any specific new features. Until the update gets pushed and is on my phone, running smoothly, I worry about it. A lot... Once I see everything works I can relax for a while....
