After the recent update to 7.0 my droid turbo 2 seems slower especially Verizon messenger.

It turned my wife's Turbo 2 into a steaming pile of crap. Anyway to return in to Marshmallow?

Welcome to Android Central! Have you already tried a cache partition wipe? https://motorola-global-portal.custh...-droid-turbo-2

[Trigati]

Wiping the cache partition would be the first step is take. Sometimes after major OS upgrades, also formatting the device, as painful as that might be, can work wonders.

My turbo 2 seems to be completely retarded. My keyboard, battery use, speed ,most apps on playstore can't be downloaded. IV hard reset,cleared cache everything but it's almost the most expensive paper weight I have. What else is there to do to get it right???

Welcome to Android Central! You could try repairing or reinstalling the firmware using Verizon's Software Repair Assistant.

When nougat is offered to my phone I'm going to read others experiences with it before jumping in. We'll be offered 7.0 which seems to be the buggiest version of nougat out there, and since I have a Moto/Lenovo phone I'm sure that'll be the only version I'm ever offered.

I'm no big fan of MM, but at least overall it works and gets killer battery life.... I refuse to go from bad to worse just because nougat is shiny and new.

My phone needs to be a phone first and foremost, not a beta test bed for Google 😕

Amen.

Mine needs to be a library for special nature/science apps, too. Don't need no socialization.

Actually it's a beta test bed for Lenovo/Motorola. Once a manufacturer or carrier muck with it whatever happens is on them. They're the ones that tweak it to work on any given device.

Updates on my Nexus 5X have been just fine. All I've done is wipe the cache partition after each update. I'm on the beta now and it's working pretty well so far.

I have 7.0 on a Moto Z Play and Moto Z Force. Both phones work fine.

Just waiting for it on a G4 Plus.

I'm still waiting to see if I get it on my Droid Maxx 2. I'm hopeful but because Verizon is involved it might never happen.

Dont save messages. Switched from message+ to messages seems a little better but phone still a little off

I have a Moto X Pure Edition, besides the Moto app it's pure Android Marshmallow.

I would hope Lenovo would honor that tradition by giving us pure nougat as well

But it still is massaged by Lenovo/Motorola. The experience is close to pure Android, I'll grant you that but the code didn't come straight from Google.

Even on Nexus devices the code is optimised for each model. They all have different hardware requirements that mean different drivers at a minimum. And phones can have different features that are based on what hardware is available in the device.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Motorola. My Droid Maxx 2 is a pretty good phone and already got upgraded from Lollipop to Marshmallow. It went pretty smoothly and I didn't experience any issues. If it wasn't loaded with Verizon's bloatware I would like it even more. I still use it occasionally but prefer the bloat free Nexus.

Good points badcat, and well said. I just hope Lenovo does us right by nougat (fingers crossed)

So do I. I really want Nougat on my Maxx 2! 😊

Followed your advice and it seems to have really sped up my phone's responsiveness. Thanks Diddy.

When I updated to Android 7, my rearward Camera quit working, Verizon Cloud Quit working too. I wiped my Turbo 2 and started fresh. Didn't help. I carried my phone to Verizon... They saw the problem and ordered me a new Turbo 2. It came on Marshmallow. Originally, when I updated my phone, I updated my wife's phone also. She has had no problems. My new phone missed the update, and I get the message that my phone is up to date... Starting to wonder if I will ever get the update?

Nougat and/or Google Assistant have not been happy updates for my Verizon Droid Turbo 2, either: Slower performance, response lags/hangs, background app crashes, device heating up, daily reboots needed.

This is on a new DT2 received in Feb with MM preinstalled, and mostly mainstream apps. System cache clear seemed to help initially but then things degraded​ again over a few weeks.

Also disappointing that Moto Voice cannot invoke Google Assistant from screen off.
