Lag when unlocking on 4.4 - Moto X Q&A

Randomly when I will unlock my phone from the active display screen ( when you just have to pull the lock icon down) there will be a solid 3-4 second Lag before the screen unlocks. Am I the only one experiencing this. I'm completely stock with the 4.4 ota on vzw.

Wow. All these problems with 4.4. It's running great on my N7, so I think I'll hold off. Tmobile didn't even push it out yet, but I like 4.2.2

I have the same issue on stock 4.2.2. Happens maybe a couple of times a day. Not sure the cause.

this is being discussed in another thread. it is a minor annoyance but doesn't seem to hinder phone operation.

I turned off slide unlock and haven't had a problem since. I think there's a bug between active display unlock and slide unlock...

Credits to the user that posted this. You can fix this by switching to no lock, unlock the phone using active notifications, and select swipe to unlock again. That fixed my issue and lag for me.

This helped me for about a day, and then the lag came back... note that (for me at least) the delay has only ever happened maybe 10% of the time, so it takes a while to test if it's actually fixed.
also it seems to be worst when swiping up into an application vs. down to the home screen.

I am experiencing this too since upgrading to 4.4. Gonna try disabling /reenabling Slidelock , see if it helps

Fix a no go for me
Tried the method posted above on my AT&T Moto X (newly updated to 4.4). Literally no more than ten minutes later, the lag was back. This is unfortunate.

on the soak test forums this has been reported by a lot of users, so Motorola is aware

They must have been well aware of it before they released any of the official 4.4 versions. While it doesn't happen all the time it happens enough any Motorola employee using it would have noticed. And they have been testing it for at least two weeks so really no excuse.
I believe they knew perfectly well about it but decided to push out the update anyway to be first to get 4.4 out the door.
I've been very impressed with Motorola so far, but this is a bit of a black mark, hopefully they are already working on a fix.

Does anybody else get a force close when going to Settings ==> Security? The lag described in this thread and my issue happened when I upgraded to 4.4, so I figure it's something related.

Guys I was getting the same issue after its update. I had some other issues with apps not installing force closing etc so I bit the bullet and did a factory data reset through recovery. Lag is gone and all other issues with KitKat fixed. YMMV

I just got done re-installing everything after doing a factory reset, and I'm still having the black screen for a second or two after unlocking an active notification. So I would definitely not recommend other people try this, unless you want to waste a few hours re-installing stuff.

I was just about to do a reset. Glad I came back here first.

I am also experiencing the lag. It seems to do it more when an app (such as chrome) is open when locking. I also noticed I have a really hard time with the two finger swipe down on the notification bar as well.

I even fastbooted the official firmware to complete stock again and I'm still getting it. It's obviously firmware related.

Non responsive touchscreen

Hello,
Since I've bought my Incredible S about 8 months ago, I've been experiencing this problem. Somethimes, when I'm writing a message, there is 1 letter that doesn't work, if I press on it, it chooses the letter besides it. If I exit the app and reopen it, everything is fine. So its only the keyboard that's acting weird.
I had this on the standard 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 and now on 4.0.3 with the Virtuous Quatrro ROM.
Now I'm using the default ICS keyboard, on Gingerbread I used Better Keyboard.
Does anyone know a sollution?
Just to notice, my phone was send to HTC for repair somewhere around Octobre last year, and they replaced the whole front, including the screen. 2 weeks before that, they replaced the motherboard. So I still had the problem after the repair. And I think it's not software related, bevause it's just when I'm typing something, and not when I'm scrolling trough menu's or something like that.
Had the same problem. And I have a solution: don't notice it
I know its irritating sometimes, but that's not a real problem, so take it easy

Well, half the times I'm writing a message there is at least one key not working, and I have to reopen the app, it's quite frustrating...

I have had that problem with my mum's Wildfire S as well.
But then i realized that the phone had not been rebooted in a while.
Restarting the phone did the trick so i assumed that there were too many programs running in the background.
However, now after i guess a couple of months, the problem still persists albeit at a very minor stage.
Either lock the screen then unlock it. Or reboot the phone.
Both methods work for me when I get this issue. I use the lockscreen when I need my phone but if I've got a 5mins spare ill reboot.

Then lockscreen and unlock it again and all is fixed? ..... when I have issues with lock screen I just lock and re-unlock then it fixes it.
Does that work for you?

Locking and unlocking the lockscreen helpes, but there has to be a permanent sollution for this right?

All I can say it maybe try a different rom or kernel. Other than that I'm unsure maybe something internally it knackered as a worst case scenario.

I had this problem aswell. It started out in the same way as yours just being a tad un responsive, but slowly got worse. What it turned out to be was that digitizer was faulty as I replaced the digitizer myself and the problem was solved. As you say that the screen etc has been replaced before this could well be the case. I would recommend getting in done professionally as it isn't an easy job. Look on the market for a touch screen test app and see if you have any dead spots.

i've had the unresponsive lockscreen issue when using cm7 and cm7 based roms, then today i checked set cpu and i had a profile for screen off - a low clock speed with conservative governor. Changed to interactive and slightly high clock speeds and dont seem to be facing the issue any more....at least its been okay for the past 6 hours...hope this helps
I find if you lock the phone and wipe the screen until it's nice and clean it fixes this problem. It could be caused by a buildup of finger oils on the screen, or from your face after making a call. Not to sure though.

My Android 4.2.1 Review: What happened to project butter?!

I loved the Nexus 7 from day one, it was fast, fluid and stock android is always a good thing. But somehow Google managed to make the Nexus 7 look old by providing an update which basically kills project butter. These are my impressions:
http://smartphoneblogging.com/2013/...-for-tablets-what-happened-to-project-butter/
I agree, compared to 4.1.2 on my note 2 the nexus 7 with 4.2.1 lags to much.
Has there been any information about if/when we will get another update?
Mine is still smooth as butter. Stock, running 4.2.1. You guys are doing something wrong.

No I haven't and I won't do it either, because it will only be a temporary solution as with the forever gone app. Newly wiped devices are always faster but only until you install all apps again and use them for some time. Then the lag will start again, at least this is my experience of the past years with all mobile devices that have performance issues.

+1 on my gnex 4.2 wasn't as smooth as 4.1 so I did factory reset, reinstalled all my apps, and ran stock for a month smooth with no slowdowns.

There's something to what you said. But I think in this case there is something that goes awry with the 4.2.1 update mechanism and leaves something misconfigured.
Do a factory reset
Then configure Currents to not do background sync
Then change WiFi settings to not stay on when the tablet is sleeping

stock 4.2.1 is reasonably smooth for me too and good battery life.

I agree. I've heard lots of issues when upgrading. There is a lot of changes the SD folder structure and relocation of lots of data that could be the culprit.
I can't say if it makes a difference because I reset often between Rom flashes and major updates. My N7 is still super quick. In fact it feels the same/faster then my brand new 4.1.2 N7 (my tester device). I've been on PA for a long time and haven't factory reset in a long while either.

Nope, I'm just picky on what I put on my device. Not a load of music and videos, very minimal amount of apps, stock, Nova Launcher Prime, and do regular manual cache maintenance on it to keep it clean. Never have say, eight apps running at the same time on it, either.

No, im talking about the extreme lags on nexus 7 since 4.2.1. This didn't happen on 4.1... I'm not talking about some general slowdown of the system which is happening when you load it with apps...
Mine came out of the box using android 4.2.1. I seems reasonably smooth but the app drawer suffers random lag unlike store units that run 4.1.2.
Overall on stock rom, it is not even close to lag, just a bit of minor stuttering for me with launcher that's all.
Do factory reset. Fixed all the issues for me. I had all the problems you've been having.
After reset it was back full speed.
Do it.

Android always lags. There is no fix.

When i flash custom roms it breaks root :(

You guys have any idea why it would do that and what i could do to fix that.

Care to provide more information? Not really enough here to go on. What ROMs you're trying and what you've run in the past might be good places to start.
Ok sorry for late reply I didn't see this. I been having issues after issues with this phone the minute I rooted it lol. Constant crashes, keyboard broke so I had to get my swift key back, voice to text doesn't work at all on any Rom which is annoying me. Data keeps turning on and off. Battery will say full but keep getting low battery notification. Bucket full of fun most of it I will tolerate. I found out SuperSU or whatever doesn't work on 4.3 and I need to manually root it again which idk if I'm using the right file

Superuser works fine on 4.3,broken kb sounds like rom issue. You flash a rom for sprint version right(or one with sprint support and no kernels (none for sprint phones yet)

how can i get rid of the lock screen

i just did the new OTA update today and now my phone has a lock screen every time i hit the power button, i dont want any locks at all...i went into settings /security and have it set to none, but there still is one, how can i get it off?
Strange for me it works
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I thought I read that option was removed in the latest OTA update however I'm still on 4.3 stock with goodies. I believe the bad boyz rom by omj added this feature back in according to the release notes. I also hate the lock screen and wouldn't run a rom without the disable feature. Might wanna consider flashing that rom. I plan on moving to it at some point. It also has many other bennifits.

Without switching roms you can this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
I haven't used it in years since the roms I have used have it built in but you could give it a shot. It use to work just fine for me but were talking Froyo days.

moto x performance

Has anyone notice their x get slower over time? In the first month mine was great but now I notice a bit of lag. While an app is updating its almost useless to try and do anything else. I don't have that many apps installed and I'm on stock 4.4.2 art.
I have noticed this on occasion. A couple things seem to help me. 1. Hitting the recent apps button on the nav bar and swiping some apps away seems to help. 2. If that doesn't help, a restart will usually does the trick.

Phones only slow down cause of the apps installed.
If its very noticeable.... Sometimes backing up apps and data and doing a factory reset is a good idea. A fresh start.

Sounds like it's an app running. My MotoX can update apps no problem; I'm on Dalvik with 10+ Xposed Modules running. Pretty sure it's just an app.
It's the app. I got mine stock rooted and never slows down for a few months now. Even after a bunch of apps installed.
So figure out which one causing it. Unfortunately sometimes it's not immediate so it's really tough to figure out which.
Good luck.
