I've been getting these weird "flashes". Sometimes the screen actually flashes white and sometimes not, but when it happens (once every few minutes or sometimes even several times a minute), if I'm in Chrome, the bar will appear, if I'm in an IM app the keyboard will disappear and reappear and then if I continue typing, it moves the cursor to a random spot in my typed passage and replaces a word with the last word I typed, if I'm in the YouTube app, the video will restart, if I'm watching a video in the normal video player, the video will pause, etc. This has happened on two Moto Xs after rooting. I tried disabling every customization I instaled (a few Xposed modules) and I still had the problem. The PwnMyMoto root has to be the cause, unless I'm missing something. Any ideas on how to get these to go away?
Slusho,
That is not normal, nor is it happening to my rooted+SS Moto X.
I recommend flashing back to stock and starting over. The problem could be hardware related, but based on your description it sounds like software.
I am not experiencing this issue either. I'm on stock and rooted with PwnMyMoto. I would go with what Ctrl-Freak said. Try going back to stock.
Because I've experienced this on every device I root, how would going back to stock and rerooting fix it? It's certain to happen again.

You should go back to stock and not reroot to see if it is truly root that is causing the problem.

Okay I'm trying it. I have to back everything up, unroot, check if it's still happening, root, check if it's still happening, and restore everything. It'll take a while. I don't think I can just back up in one fell swoop like on custom recoveries, right?
Okay I've confirmed it doesn't happen when not rooted (as it didn't before). Moving to root...
...and it isn't happening. Strange. I'll enable the Xposed modules now, but I already troubleshot that, so it shouldn't cause it.
And that didn't cause it to happen either. I don't know what's changed, and this mystery will haunt me for the rest of my days...
Thanks though.
I went to bed and it was fine, but I wake up and my phone's back to doing the flashes. Another thing is that I freeze Updater but the update dialog still pops up. I doubt they're related but I guess I should mention it.
Sounds to me like a faulty digitizer. Had similar issue with previous device. Sometimes wouldn't happen for months. Some ROMs seemed to provoke it more as well. When it happens again, go into dev options and select show touches or grab a painting/drawing app off play. Run the app when its acting up and you may see it drawing by itself. That or your phones haunted, it is almost Halloween.
Tried it, and it didn't register any touches. These things that happen can't happen due to touches anyway. And this has happened on every Moto X I've rooted. Perhaps it won't happen if I use the old root method?
The problem is present with the old root too. Guess I just can't have root on my Moto X.

I'm sure you are tired of troubleshooting but, no one else is reporting having this problem. So its either something you are setting up on your phone, or you should return your phone. It may have something to do with what you are restoring after you root.

I'm only restoring normal Play Store apps that I doubt are doing this, Xposed, MotoXposed, Gravity Box, and Advanced Power Menu. I tried disabling those and it didn't stop the flashing, so I didn't think it was the Xposed modules, but I'll try wiping and rerooting my phone without those. If that doesn't work, I'll just use it unrooted. Does anyone know of some diagnostic software that could detect what's doing this? Also, this has happened on multiple devices and only after rooting so I don't see how it could be a hardware problem.

These errors come up dozens of times a second. This is getting too low level for me to understand. I can't find the specific moment/problem since there are hundreds of lines generated for just a minute of logging.

just to clarify, you did try rooting the device without running tibu to set your apps back up and you still ran into the issue? If it failed to find motorola blur stuff it seems that you may have restored some stuff with tibu accidentally that is screwing up some system apk's. I'm not sure this is the case, but again, you are the only one reporting this so in the end I still really feel it is something you are doing. The errors you are reporting should not be affected when rooting your phone unless you are altering something post root that you are unaware you are altering or that you think you aren't altering but in fact you are.

I've been getting this more and more lately. The app I'm using will do a "minimize" animation to the top of the screen, then come back. Sometime it will be just once, other times it will happen several times in a row. This happens when in my hand or in my car holder, seemingly at any time.
Has anyone had this happen?

I posted a similar issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/unknown-app-flashing-toggling-wifi-t2672301
I believe it's related to wifi switching on and off, but have not found what app is causing the screen to flash.
I think it may be related to the OTA waiting to install, as it started happening around that time, but I'm not sure.
Yes! I had the minimizing problem also--it went away as soon as I disabled/froze the OTA app. It was horribly annoying! So glad that fixed it!

The "friendly" name is MotoOTA, not sure of the full name.
Yeah I have been delaying the updating app. That must be it. I'm waiting for my unlock code, should I just update to 4.2.2, or wait for unlock.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.
I'm coming from the S3 and never had any problems with this, but on the S5 Pandora gives occasional hesitations (real quick skips) whenever I let it play with the screen off. It might happen 2 to 10 times per song, just depending. Sometimes I can go a while without it happening, but can't figure out anything that's different. It does not seem to depend on signal strength at all, as it happens in areas with good coverage. I thought maybe it has to do with the cpu being throttled down when the screen is off, but I'm not sure...but if so, I would think others would be having the same thing happen. Anyone have any ideas?
Uninstall app named 'adapt sound'
Or if you aren't rooted, just disable that app via the app manager. Please ask if you need further detail , I'll gladly assist.
I appreciate the suggestion, but after testing out quite a bit with "adapt sound" disabled, it seems like this isn't really making a difference.
I also should add that I'm usually streaming via an aux cable. After further testing, it seems that maaaybe toggling from the higher to lower quality audio makes a little bit of difference, but still doesn't eliminate the problem. Also, not sure why higher quality audio would be an issue given the strength of my LTE signal when this is happening...
Any other suggestions...
Are you not rooted/not willing to? I used a friends phone (not rooted) to test disabling adapt sound, they were having this same problem. Unfortunately disabling it didnt really change anything, to my surprise. I rooted the phone and fully uninstalled the app, and what do you know, the stuttering went away.
Now there could be a debate here about correlation vs causation, i have no clue how or why this happen(s). Just that it seemed to fix it for 2 phones ive personally dealt with.
I will find the discussion i previously read which singled out 'adapt sound' as culprit & see if there are other suggestions,
I cant believe no one else has anything to contribute
I am rooted but had tested your suggestion out by just disabling adapt sound from the application manager. I'll try completely uninstalling it though and test some more.
Another thing Pandora does is occasionally freeze upon opening after I've used it a few times since a reboot (it'll play, but everything in the app is frozen and the system will warn the app has become unresponsive). So I have to reboot to fix. With the stuttering and this, I had kind of decided Pandora just has problems running on 4.4.2.
Anyway, I'll report back after more testing, but would still welcome comments or suggestions.

I saw posted somewhere else that someone found out that if they turned off adblocking in luckupatcher it fixed it, so do you have luckypatcher with adblocking enabled or adaway? Give disabling that a shot if so and report back.
Sent from my SM-G900A using Tapatalk
I never was able to resolve the hesitations, despite having tried various combinations of disabling system apps like Adapt Sound and MusicFX. I also did not have any ad blocking installed. I was also having both Pandora and Spotify freeze and act wonky right after starting them up, which required a reboot to fix. That problem was more regular, and so I eventually narrowed it down to the fact that it would happen after every time I used the stock mobile hotspot. I was unable to resolve the issue any other way other than flashing back fresh to stock, rerooting, and reinstalling all my apps. Now everything seems to be working, and I think it may have resolved the occasional hesitations too - been listening a couple days and it hasn't been happening like it was before. Anyway, I went ahead and posted about the link between mobile hotspot and my issues with Pandora and Spotify here:

Haven't run into that but I'm having issues with random sleep of death and random reboots. Stock unrooted here as well. I've already done a cache clear and that seemed to work for about 24 hours but I just had another SOD.

Yes it's under lockscreen. To be able to see the setting, 1st u must select a lock screen type, not the regular swype screen. Then go back to the lock screen setting and the option will be available. But lime I said, doing that doesn't fix this issue. Yesterday I turned my screen on and off 3 times just to get it to lock.

I haven't tried it, mostly because I actually like the look of the lock screen and its integration with the rest of the OS. I think it is more of a problem with the OS not recognizing that the screen has been turned off. Therefore, I think it is a problem that would affect all lock screens.
Could it be an issue with Smart Lock? I do have a smart device set up (the Sync system in my car), but the locking isn't being consistent in my car.

my lollipop problems
Stock s5 with lollipop AT&T. Since update and even after cache clearing, I am suffering from extremely slow charging, too fast battery drain. Occasional sluggishness, and occasionally notifications don't work until phone unlocked.
I used muniz_ri's flash fire method keeping root which installs fresh and lollipop works flawlessly with no bugs, nothing broken. After install, google reinstalls your apps which many rediscover their stored settings on the internal sd. Most lollipop issues seem to be related to the stock update method or manual tibu restore... muniz fresh install lollipop is solid.

This makes me wonder then, because I was a fresh install with the original method Muniz had up. I only TiBu restored a few apps (none affected by my keyboard issue) and let everything else stay fresh. I am going to try the new method for the reasons Muniz pointed out to my prior post that listed the issues I had.

Touchscreen Issue: This thing has been persistent from the very beginning. After struggling for months, it has been mostly fixed with the last update. But double tap to wake is still a 50/50 chance, most of the time it's 4 taps to wake.
WiFi Issue: I have come across may complaint across internet about wifi issue for LG G4, ppl suggested several solutions but none really worked. Wifi connection suddenly drops, and also takes a considerable amount of time when waking up from sleep. It gets very annoying when I am on a voip or hangout call.
No it's not my router or my phone. Because it's the same on my home and work network, where other devices just work fine. Also I don't have any of those issues on CM12.1 rom. CM is quite nice on LG G4 but having to be using it on CM is not an option, as I lose the camera.
Besides I didn't pay the money to purchase a flagship device to use it on a different rom.
So, that's it. LG better fixes it on the Marshmallow, otherwise Good Bye LG.
Update: The WiFi is much better since I uninstalled Xposed. I am guessing that some xposed module had something to do with it. Can anybody confirm?
No change in the double tap to unlock though. Funny thing is that it works perfectly with CM.
Sorry to hear you are still having issues with your device. My only issue is the double tap to wake/sleep, but its something that I can live with. I never had an issue with wifi on any network, work/home/neighbors, ever.
Have you tried any of the roms supplied by our great devs or are you on stock?

I tried stock rooted debloated, also stock-based xtreme rom. Always having these issues.
Hmm..... Thats weird, My G4 has been runing good since I first purchased it in september..... Guess I got lucky.
I feel the ops pain, because I've had the WiFi issues a few times, and the tap to wake is 50/50 at best. I'm also growing tired of waiting for updates from LG or Tmo.
The poor 5GHz wifi support kills me. Only device in the household that has that issue. Other than that, though, I've been pretty happy with the G4.
I purchased my G4 a month ago and don't have those issues. Double tap works fine and my phone uses 5g WiFi at home. I wish you luck op.
As far as the WiFi is concerned, I have the same problem. Using WiFI Analyzer, I can see that all available wireless networks near me drop to 0 every minute or so, and then start back up. My wife also has a G4, and her device does not do that. I'm wondering if there was either a bad batch of WiFi radio chips, or poor connections to the mainboard for a group of these.
I think the tap to wake issue is because of that other stupid "feature" that I'm sure not a single person uses.
You know the one where when the screen is off, you swipe down from the top of the screen and it shows the clock? My phone often mistakes my taps to wake as swipes and tries to activate that instead (I can tell because the notification led comes on when that is activated).
Is there any way to turn that thing off? It is completely useless. It would be one thing if it showed the notifications but no it just shows the clock

Did you just root, or are you using other apps that uses root access? Did you uninstall or delete any system app?
It's very unlikely that rooting would break the camera. Try unrooting.. Super Su has the option to unroot in its settings. If doesn't work you may have to do a factory reset.

I rooted and installed wtrp, the first app I opened was snapchat and I was not able to open video snaps or make my own. I thought it was the app being supervised and I didn't check the camera app recording. I later installed apps for root like xposed installer to obtain snapprefs, but the problem continued to appear. After the download of a few apps and mods for root. I downloaded instagram and I was still not able to record videos. Finally I opened the camera and it was the same problem. I unrooted my phone and the video recording is working. I will root again and only test the camera app after root and after each app and mod I added before. I did try the factory reset and no luck.

Since you already got twrp up and running, I can try MicroMod777's stock rooted debloated rom.
Never had problems with my H811 even installed different ROMs from LP to MM and back. Never had hardware issues.
My only problem with the h811 is the stupid gps not shutting off and killing the battery, fixed by app ops
I'm stock everything and my notifications have basically just stopped working out of no where. I've tried every solution there is on the web to fix it except a factory reset - is this what it comes down to? Do I have to factory reset every few months just to keep the phone running normally? That's not really ideal.

I'm saying boot into safe mode,then,keep track of which apps you enable,perhaps one of the user apps is causing it.
Naturally,if you're in safe mode & it persists w/o re-enabling any user installed apps,then you have a defective phone.

not aware that safe mode allowed you to cherry pick which apps you wanted to be enabled or not. from my experiance, all user apps were disabled and that was it. What is doable in regular mode is disable all your apps and do the same thing enable or disable. but to me it would be much more conveniant to wipe everything. then if the issue is gone, reinstall app by app till you hit the culprit. but anyways to each his own.

Exactly,to each their own,but,factory reset seems like the last resort/nuclear option... why go that route 1st?

because the feature he has issues with is a system level feature and i would doubt an app could affect it. and if a system setting was changed then wiping is a sure way to get that reverted.
just my 2 cents

Package Disabler Pro is a user installed app & it has profound effects on system apps functions (depending on what the user disables) ,so,that's where I'm coming from.
Using safe mode is a natural step in troubleshooting before resorting to a factory reset,regardless of what is assumed to be the obvious next step.

point taken.
but it would also be obvious to the said user that if he or she would have disabled stuff in the manner you explained, they would not post here for help as it would have been obviously caused by his or hers own doing.
anyways, we're not getting anywhere here.
have a good day.

I hear ya,it's all good,the OP has input from several users/options on how to troubleshoot,that's what's ultimately important.
You have a good day as well,see ya 'round the forum. :good:
Thanks for all the info i'll have a play around with whats been said see how it goes
thanks.
I am having the exact same issue this morning with my Note 9. I restored from my Note 8 backup, so I do have a lot of programs that have migrated over. I'll have to sort through them and see what I come up with. Hopefully, the OP figures it out and let's us know what they did.

This happens to me when I restore something and it's trying to connect to an old bluetooth device like my car. The car sees the phone as the same but the phone doesn't see the car as a paired devices so the screen comes on everytime it tries to pair

If you restored from a backup make sure you dont have any old bluetooth devices trying to connect to your phone
