Kitkat T-Mobile update dialer bug - Moto X Q&A

Hey guys, I've been experiencing a glitch with the 4.4 update when pulling up the keyboard. I thought it might be a leftovers from the previous version causing problems but I've done a factory reset and still there. I've got the problem on my developers edition as well my T-Mobile 16gb.
Here's the situation. From home screen, I tap on the phone icon and obviously get this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, if I tap the keypad icon I get this white bar at the bottom..
I have to hit the back key and tap the keypad again to get here..
From this point the keypad key will work normally but I'll have to repeat this process if I swipe close the dialer in the recent apps list.
This happens on both my regular T-Mobile and developers edition. I've done multiple factory resets and the glitch is always there.
Please chime in and let me know if I'm doing something that's causing it or if there's a solution I can try. Thanks!

The weird thing is I tried to recreate the problem on my dad's phone (Dev. Edition) and his phone goes straight to the dialer with keypad open (I.e. the third screen shot). He's using next launcher so I don't know if that's the difference

My GSM Dev edition goes straight to the dialer when selected.

if you are using next launcher dialer shortcut the glitch is not there but if you are using stock dialer glitch is there,

I think its a kitkat issue. I had the same problem on my nexus 5

I was i n the soak test for the Sprint upgrade and had that issue. I can't remember when but I switched over to ART and booted into stock recovery and wiped the cache. Then noticed when I opened the dialer that that issue went away, has never returned.

I am unable to remove it
I have done multiple restarts to c if it gets corrected itself but it doesn't
I tried keeping a pattern but this screen remains present. After unlocking this, my device asks for pattern.

Something you've installed have set up a lock-screen of it's own. It's not the device causing this, it's some third-party app. The behaviour your describe is identical to what for instance Widget Locker provides. Check all recently installed apps, and if no obvious culprit is found, simply uninstall them one by one until the lockscreen goes away, then you know which one caused it!
I should note though, this isn't the forum for the galaxy S4 but the galaxy S4 ACTIVE - so if you need any further assistance you should probably go ask in the right forum.

You really need to go ask your questions in the forum for the S4. We don't have the same phone, so we can't easily help you.

I made no changes or updates to the phone. I woke up this morning, after using the phone for nearly a year, and my text messages are now being displayed on my lock screen for all the work to see...and blocking my wallpaper. How do I make it go away??

You're in the wrong forum - this forum is for the Galaxy S4 Active. You need to find the right forum for your device and ask your question there.
Good luck!

Just picked up the moto x and I have a few questions

How do you re enable apps? I can't find out where messaging asp went after I disabled it. Also is there a way to set a menu button as a soft key? I can't delete messages in Facebook because there is no menu button. Thanks on advance.

You should be able to reenable apps from the apps settings page. >Settings>Apps>-swipe to the right several times->-select app->-select enable
I can add the menu button to your navbar. You are on a sprint Moto X right? Did you take the OTA? Are you rooted? Bootloader unlocked? Recovery installed? Functioning ADB on your computer? Ill need all of the files in /system/framework/ and your SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex (both located in /system/app/)
If I get permabaned today (highly likely) then find me on rootzwiki under the same name.
I go to setting, apps go to all apps and it's not in there.

No. I found it though. All the apps I have disabled are in the all apps section at the very bottom. I am on a sprint moto x, didn't take any ota. I just got this phone. Previous owner could have taken the ota. Stock and unrooted. Stock recovery, I don't think I have adb any more.

Changes I noticed in 4.4.1 OTA :D

As you most likely know, Android 4.4.1 OTA link has been found
So I did the update, and would like to share the changes I found:
1 - Transparent decor on lockscreen by default
No Google Experience Launcher though =/
2 - White instead of blue on launcher (Scrollbar on home screen, widgets and apps bar in drawer)
3 - Settings icon change on tile layout
4 - Slight camera improvements? (Might be placebo effect )
5 - Buttons changed on some things (Either that or I don't notice for that till now xP)(Look on set wallpaper button)
And that's it for now.. feel free to point out anything I missed

Also seems to have fixed the massive lag I was getting with the notification shade - especially from the lock screen.
Edit: Also I'm not seeing any lag when swiping over to the Google Now homescreen (I have the GEL installed), so that's nice.
They fixed the missing voicemail notification icon that was plaguing 4.4 on some networks

Right, and so far the only way to get rid of it is to reboot my phone. Once I reboot it is gone until the next time I receive a call.

Are you on any ROMS? If so that may be the issue if it still shows in the notification after the call ends.

I have the stock ROM but my phone is rooted. Recently I did install Xposed Installer with 4 modules (Tinted Status Bar, Wanam Xposed, Xposed LED Control, and YouTube AdAway). I've looked through all their settings but can't find what could be causing my issue.

One of those may be causing the issue, try unintalling them and see if it fixes the issue.

That did the trick.
I disabled all four modules. Reboot phone. One by one I turned each module on and called my cell phone. Surprisingly enough, a setting in the LEDControl module was the culprit.
Thanks.
