23.11.39 quark available

Looks like the update is available OTA.

Downloaded and installed. Not seeing as much lag when swiping away apps in the recents panel, but it's still there from time to time.
Signal strength seems stronger, though it could just be a good signal day.
The support page for the update shows they put multi user back, but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

Never mind my comment on signal strength. It was just a fluke. It's back to where it always is.

n00b question: What does a "quark" do or mean to us laypersons?

I believe "Quark" was the internal code name for the Turbo before it was released.

It is part of the name for the software installed on the Turbo when Lollipop is on the phone. Go into your settings for the phone and check out the selections. One will report the software installed on your Turbo.

Is this just a service provider stability update? Basically VZW updating its wares for L?

It's this. The ultra/maxx the previous year was obake, the turbo is quark.

Not sure. I spoke with them and they had no idea what it was.

I can say my signal went from -120 and 1 bar, to about -110 and 2 bars.

Just did the update. Took a bit longer optimizing apps than expected. Otherwise, seems to be business as usual.

I plan on checking out the update tonight, assuming no one reports problems. QUESTION: Should a cache wipe be performed following the update?

I updated this morning and did not perform cache wipe. So far no issues. Some feel you should and others say no. I didn't simply for the reason that I forgot. I don't see what harm can be done by doing one. Before the update I used to do it every Month or so.

Going to let this latest update run for a week and see how it changes things, if at all.

Installing now - is there a change log somewhere for this?

 

[mrtonk]

Wait, so this is a second update?

Installed. I don't see any overt changes on the front end. Too early to tell about performance changes.

Yes

After the update I detect no discernable difference either before or after a cache wipe. My guess is a bug fix for the minority of users that have experienced issues.

EDIT: I do now note that the battery usage stats seem to be slowly recalibrating after showing no usage data for a while.

Smooth update here, no noticeable changes.

I just DL it and it seems to have fixed a problem I was having on MMS messages. I would get a download icon for an MMS message but it would never download the message. This is how we communicate at work and was becoming a real problem. After this little update all the MMS messages downloaded and I am now getting them normally. That makes me a happy camper.
