You ever finding yourself picking up the phone, swiping down to unlock and the actual ring doesn't show up till AFTER you swiped? It's starting to be really annoying. Usually happens after a long standby as opposed to having used the phone recently. Sometimes even though the ring shows up it doesn't register my swipe the first time at all, even if done firmly.
How the hell can you develop muscle memory with a device that doesn't always react the same way to your input?
I hate having to slow down to cater to my device's (special) needs... It's driving me nuts
I'll be putting it up on swappa tomorrow if I can't find a solution.. if anyone wants, XT1058 bootloader and carrier unlocked
I switch phones a lot so nbd. I hate android's lack of consistency. Plagued every single android flagship device I've ever had in various ways. I think it's time I try WP8 =)
I'm less then 24 hours after a fresh wipe (RSD lite). Running very little apps. Nothing frozen in titanium, just rooted with TWRP recovery.

never had this issue unless you are referencing the active notifications which has nothing to do with android. If you are talking about pressing the unlock button then the unlock icon appearing and swiping that down (which is the only part that is part of android, then I have never seen this happen. If you are talking about active notification (which i assume you are because it swipes down while the android unlock screen swipes to the right i believe) then yes sometimes it doesn't appear for me but not in a lagging since. In that it just doesn't recognize i want active notifications to pop up. But its typically not when it has been in standby for a while but when i have been moving it a lot like in my hand. Either way, it typically pops up for me before i can even see the screen.
edit: android lockscreen unlocks in all directions not just down.

When you pick up the phone, the unlock ring appears. I'm saying the time it takes for it to appear is not consistent. This makes it impossible to develop the muscle memory needed to consistently unlock your device fast. It makes me feel like my phone can't keep up with me, something I've never had a problem with on the...dark side.
I wasn't referring to this as this as the sole reason as why I think android is consistent, but just one example out of many. Inconsistent scrolling, dropped frames during transition animations, app open times varying wildly even if precached, etc. I just don't think I'm an android guy, I can't ignore the crappy UI handling. Some people don't even perceive it as lag but for me it just jumps in my face every time. BUT that's subject matter for a different topic.

if you want to keep up with muscle memory then click the unlock button on the right and then unlock by swiping the lock on the screen like all the other phones on the market. It will work every time all the time with 100% accuracy/consistency. If you don't like the active notifications that Motorola built into the phone then don't use it. The inconsistency you are describing here is Motorolas fault, but it is their first shot at active notifications so I expect more bugs than I have seen so far.
But as i said before, mine either doesn't pop up or pops up before i can even look at the screen so I don't have the problem you do. And when it doens't pop up its typically because Im playing with in my hand then decide i want to use it and I have been tossing it all around. If it is sitting still or in my pocket and i pick it up it pops up the ring faster than I look at the screen. I doubt it but maybe it has to do with the twrp rooting method.
If I have to resort to that, 95% of what moto X brings to the table for me, is gone. At that point I might as well be using a nexus for the awesome dev support.
I would rather try to troubleshoot the issue since it IS software. It is evident because the method which you described brings up the phone instantly anytime anywhere so the hardware capability is there... i guess... lol.
No issues on mine, active notifications with and without notifications works every time, before the phone is completely flipped or out of my pocket, the pixels are fully lit. I'm stock non rooted though, but it works every time as it is intended.

No issue for me either. When I pickup the phone or take it out of my pocket, the ring is there. And I've experienced zero lag either in UI transitions or opening apps.
I've never experienced anything like this before. The performance of my X has been flawless.
I tested it a little bit more and I found you are right. I didn't notice it because I don't grab my phone and instantly try to unlock. When I did let it sit for 10 minutes or so and had the screen not flipped over so I could watch it there was a noticeable 1 second time difference as opposed to when I laid it down let the screen go dark then pick it back up. But for me I really had to grab my phone and try to unlock it before bringing it to my face for it to not pop up in time for my unlock swipe.

I can see some point to a lockscreen on a phone - which is so highly personal and has so many hardware buttons.
But it seems pointless on a tablet, and I am surprised to see that none of the customizations disable the lockscreen - I would have thought that all of the custom Nook setups would do so.
It seems a huge waste of time to do that swipe so many times - hundreds, eventually thousands of times in one's life - for no reason. And people are so impatient - I am surprised that they have patience for the lockscreen.
Am I missing something?
Or do most NC users already have an Android phone, so they are used to a lockscreen?
You took more time writing that than all swipes of your life combined

Agree. I use "No Lock"

Lol true that.
Really, its such a minor nuisance I don't even notice it. You do raise a good point, though: these things aren't really in situations where the screen might get unlocked w/o noticing. We definitely can't "butt-dial" anyone lol.
I like the HC lock, I play with it for a bit before I unlock it.. lol
Check out myLock in the market, it gets rid of the lock screen automatically. I've used it on my droid forever now, and works perfectly on my nook too.
It does seem rather pointless now that I think about it. Not like it's going to get touched in your pocket or something.
I disabled my lock screen with No Lock.
i just went into setting and turned it off. is this not an option with your rom?

Lock Screen on Nook Color
Lock Screen Pointless? How about someone stealing your Nook and downloading a boatload of books? I used the PIN lock on my autonootered Nook. Now with HC, I've got the pattern lock with my owner info right there on the screen. Unless it ends up in the hands of another developer with a bootable SD card, I'll expect to get a call.
I've unlocked hundreds of times having never thought of how pointless it was... My whole life has been in vain.... /emo

IF you are unlocking via PIN for security, sure, that has a point. Most people aren't. The standard swipe unlock is pointless on the NC.

How much time would you waste fixing settings or items that were moved from say a kid or cat playing with it.

I expect the first thing most kids would play with would be the unlock button, since it's the only thing on the lock screen that moves.
As to a cat messing with your settings, I think the complexity of Android may be a bit over their heads. If this was iOS, then maybe that would be more of a concern.

So I picked up a stock AT&T active and been using it for a month now. I love the phone but a few annoying things that it does daily on me is really starting to make me want to throw the poor phone! First the screen is way to sensitive sometimes! I try to text and it adds letters or I try to move between my home screens and it will open an app like I tapped on it, but I didn't. Or when I close out my running tasks it will act like I double tapped in that certain area and will open my mail app since it was in that touch zone. Anyhow I have played around with all the settings like "Air View" or "Motions and gestures" under the settings menu. Also the calling contact feature is really pissing me off. Say someone calls me but I miss the call, so I bring up my call log and I tap on the person that called me. It shows the phone icon and usually when you tap that, it suppose to call the person, but no stupid phone goes back to the call log list instead. I have to keep doing this like around 5 to 10 times before the dumb phone will finally decide to call the person! I am running the stock, or at least what came with it, firmware. Android version 4.3 with Baseband of I537UCUBML2. Has anyone else had these issues with this phone? Plus how can I fix this?

First off I'll say that ML2 had been known to be buggy. For your first problem, did you make sure Glove Mode is disabled? For your second problem I have no idea. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
If it is in fact stock, do a software update to KitKat and it should fix your stability issues. I can't because of root.
I love the Moto X. Wanted one when it was first announced and I ended up buyiing the VZW DevEd through the Black Friday sale. Lately I have been having a lot of problems with my phone and Im not sure what is going on and if it is an app update or a system problems but I'll describe the issues I am having and will let you guys suggestion ideas of how to fix it.
1) When ever I open up the stock contacts app it is always saying "Contacts list is being updated". Some times I'll open it up and I can see all the contacts listed correctly but when I select a contact to view its details I just get a blank screen.
2) This might be due to the contacts app, but when every I receive a phone call from a known contact the phone app only provides me with the phone number and not exactly who the caller is as defined in the contacts. Also when I receive a phone call while the phone is locked with the screen off the screen does not light up but the ring tone is played. Even picking up the phone does not light up the screen. I have to hit the lock button which silences the phone then hit it again to light the screen up then I can select answer or end call. Thats all hoping the caller is still callling me as this process takes a while.
3) Kind of the samething above but with the stock clock app and an active alarm. The phone has been super laggy that I can't silence or snooze and alarm in the morning quickly. I have to place my finger on the ring wait a few seconds to see it light up that I have selected the ring then I can move it to dismiss or snooze. When I select one of those options and let go it will pause on the screen and stay light for 10 seconds and then the selection will process correctly
4) This may be subjective but I think my battery life right now is really bad. I check the battery stats and it seems fine but when I use it the battery seems to drain really fast.
5) This isn't subjective. Everything is laggy from loading an app to displaying the recently used apps. I've tried uninstalling things, disabling things, enabling things and nothing seems to work. Its especially laggy when going from phone locked screen off to the home screen. It is no where as responsive as it once was. I was even down to 4GB of storage left out of 32GB so I cleared a bunch off the SD card and still its laggy.
So what do you guys think? Should I reset the phone or has someone experienced something similar and knows how to fix it. FYI, I am using Apex Pro as my launcher.

Try resetting your phone, if that doesn't work, then talk to motorola support. This stuff shouldn't happen and I'm sure Motorola's support team will be happy to help you.

So I think I fixed the problem last night with out resetting the phone based on something I mentioned here. I stated that I'm using Apex as my launcher. Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but last night I decided to change back to the stock launcher and closed out of apex in the recent apps menu. Everything got super snappy when going from view to view and launching apps. I then loaded Apex back up and it all seemed to work just fine. This morning when my alarms went off I didn't experience the problem that I was describing about above.
So I'm going to consider this issue fixed, however I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.
Why does my Moto X forget the time and date when I turn off mobile data to try and claw back a little battery life? Is it that reliant on data that it can't even do the simplest tasks like remember the date?! It thought it was February 9th and 8:54 up until a few minutes ago...
You can set it to follow a time and date you set, or that sent from the carrier. I guess you're on the latter, and the lack of carrier updates prevent it from continuing. Try the former and let us all know.
This phone is getting dumber.
Moto Voice no longer works.
When the alarm goes off I have to wave my hand over it so much that I may as well get up rather than have that extra snooze and when it does eventually go into snooze mode and my arm is worn out from waving the screen stays on for 5 of the 10 minutes.
Time for something new and less annoying. Any suggestions? I like the look of the LG V10, but it doesn't appear to be available in the UK through official channels, only iffy looking resellers...

Try doing a factory reset and start fresh. That usually fixes random annoyances that you explained.
That'll be a lot of hassle only to find out it still doesn't work, as I suspect will be the case. You only have to look at the Play Store reviews for Moto voice to see that various updates have made it unusable for a lot of owners. Mine just doesn't listen to what I'm saying and just says "Let's talk later" all the time. Can't really see it doing much for the phone not snoozing and leaving the screen on after the alarm goes off either. I know the sensors are fine, as the time is displayed if I wave my hand over it at any other time...
I just think Motorola have made various poor updates to this phone and I think I'll just put it out to pasture and get myself a new toy.
I really hate to bring such a general question here, but this has gotten to the point where it's making me not like an otherwise amazing device. I don't necessarily expect a full answer to the problem, but I figured it was worth asking
Since I got my N6 (say about 4 months now), I've had an odd problem where I'll get completely random crippling lag while typing. it'll let me keep typing and then after a few seconds the places I tapped will start to ghost type behind where me. At first I blamed the google keyboard and tried swiftkey, but it does the same thing.
This has followed me across several ROMs and kernels, and I'm really curious wtf is causing it. If anyone has anything to say on this, please post here about your experiences and solutions

Do you have magnification gestures on in the accessibility menu? That can slow typing down to a crawl because it is waiting to register 3 consecutive taps to magnify the screen.

Not sure if you've found a solution to your issue, but just a few weeks ago (ever since the 5.1.1 OTA update) I was suffering the same issue. I found wiping the cache partition using stock or custom recovery will do the trick. I just did this a few days ago and have not experienced any keyboard lag or goofy keyboard glitches since. Simply boot into recovery by powering down, then hold volume down and power together. Use the volume buttons to select recovery, and the power button to confirm it. You'll reach a screen with the little Android guy and text below it saying no command. First hold power, then press volume up. You'll see a list of options. Using the volume keys again, highlight wipe cache, press power to select. Wiping cache will not delete any of your settings or media. It will take a minute or two, then you can select restart from the menu options. Hope this works for you as it did for me.

Just found this post after a search as I get same issue. Have tried cache wipe, but comes back after a while. While this exhibits on the keyboard quite regularly, it also has crippling lag elsewhere where the phone becomes unresponsive for a more than a few seconds.
Currently running Marshmallow.
Anyone ever find what causes this?
I have the same problem, but I noticed that it only happens on landscape rotation.

Thank you! This was driving me nuts! I actually quite like the magnification gestures feature, but if it makes my keyboard lag then I am never using it again until it's fixed. This never used to happen before today.
