[Q] Why did Active Display stop working? - Moto X Q&A

So I recently updated and rooted my T-Mobile Moto X to 4.4.2. Ever since, Touchless controls and active display would randomly activate themselve. In the case of active display, it would tell me what it is. So I got tired and I opened up Titanium Back up and uninstalled both apps. I reinstalled them again from the play store but the active display won't work anymore. It is enabled and I rebooted my device multiple times but nothing. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you.

[Q] Can you prevent kitkit install popup?

I ordered a Moto X for my 93 year old father. This will be his first smartphone. He currently has an old flip phone, and it is getting too hard from him to see the tiny screen. So I have been trying the demo of Big Launcher on my moto x, and I think it will work perfectly for him. Everything thing on the screen is HUGE. But there is a bug with text messages on 4.4, that they stated is not present on 4.2.2.
So, I am hoping the phone we ordered from Amazon comes with 4.2.2, and I just won't install the 4.4 update until Big Launcher is fixed. Question is, I seem to recall the 4.3 update on my GS4 popping up from time to time, which was annoying, because I did not want to install it at the time.
Will the moto x do the same thing? I installed it on my Moto X the first time I got the notification so I don't what the behavior will be, and I would rather he not keep getting the popup on his screen if it can be avoided. If so, is there a way to keep the popup notifications from happening? Thanks all.
I believe if you go to Settings->Apps->All->Updater and just disable it, you'll never have that problem. I haven't tested this, but it should do the trick.

[Q] Unknown App Flashing When Toggling Wifi

Last night I was at home and noticed my wifi wasn't on, so I used the quick settings in the shade to toggle it. After a few seconds, wifi connected, and some unknown app took focus and closed repeatedly. After a few moments, it stopped and all was well.
I thought it was strange, so I turned wifi back off and the same thing happened. I rebooted, tried again, and got the same result. I was trying to think of a way to see what was happening, so I tried using the Screen Record function in Gravity Box, which didn't help much, because it happens so fast, and no info is displayed, just a black window that goes away quickly.
I then turned on the CPU usage in Developer Options to see if anything consistently came to the top when toggling. I saw a few apps each time Plume (Twitter), and Maildroid (email) were two of them. Both of these apps behave differently on wifi and 3G/4G (push vs. pull), so thought -maybe- it could be something with that. I uninstalled both of those, rebooted and tried again, getting the same result.
I recorded the screen when this was happening with the CPU usage displayed, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall EVERY app on my phone, so I was hoping someone may have seen this before or see something I'm missing when watching it happen.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer!
Do you check virus from your phone ?
I am also having this, seems to be due to 4.4.2 OTA, which I continue to delay as I am rooted.
Mine doens't only happen with wifi change, but also just randomly when using hangouts, keyboard stays out but hangouts min -> maxes quickly. I have tried freezing the update apps but it apparently didn't do anything as I was still asked to update earlier.
Only hangouts? I have that app disabled.in the app settings.
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.

5.0 doesn't work well

So, I successfully clear the cache, I even clear the storage data with Google service and play store etc, and the phone runs smoothly for a while.
Until some app are updated, the whole phone goes crazy again, especially my camera. If I launch the moto camera (not any other camera app) and turn it off. All my app in background would be shut down, such as bluelight filter, every time! I have to reboot my phone, to make it turn back to normal, but at certain point, the phone would go crazy again with that camera issue!
I guess it is the problem with the incompatibility of 5.0, and in fact some apps do! I uninstalled a lot of them, but the issue goes on. This is my second week with my brand new moto x, but everything so far make me love my first moto x deeper!
Anyone can help?

Check out this thread where we are discussing this issue. Seems to happen on KitKat too, and it seems to be a Motorola Camera issue. Download the Google Camera and use that in the meantime.

Thank you!
if I remember correctly, I have no problem with 4.4.4. The camera issue is that something stopped the twist launch first, than I have to launch it manually, but soon the camera shut down by itself, and all my apps crashed, and relaunch.

Marshmallow issues

I have been on Marshmallow since the official release this past Friday. I am no rooted, never was on this phone. Phone is completely OE.
I have noticed a few issues and gripes.
1) No more volume control for just notifications. They are now controlled in with the ringer volume. To me, that sucks.
2) Smartlock is not working properly. I have to enter my password to unlock my phone 80% of the time in locations where it should be unlocked. (Home and work)
3) Where are the Doze settings?? I have looked all over for Doze and do not see it. Did T-Mobile decide not to include it?
4) I will find out for sure tonight, but when my battery got low the last 2 days, I lost LTE, was on 2G, and no wifi calling. Basically I had a phone that worked but was a paperweight. I do know there was an outage last night, I am hoping thats all it was, but I do notice my phone running slower and harder connections at lower battery levels.
4) Apps just stop working. I have to clear out my recent apps, and reboot my phone to get apps to work. Chrome wont load pages, Facebook wont load more than 20 (est) updates, news apps (local and CNN) wont refresh or load.
If anyone has had the same issues or maybe a fix, please help! Thanks in advance.

Moto G6 notifications during sleep

Got my moto g6 amazon exclusive model a few days ago. I started to notice while the phone was just sitting on my desk and gone to sleep / doze? my notifications were not coming through (around 5-10 mins after screen off). Any notifications within that time would be fine. After that if I had any new notifications, I would get them all in one go after I turned the screen on or moved my phone with moto display. (I turned off the motion sensor feature)
Just trying to get an understanding of whats going on. I have played around with some settings and currently seem to have got it back to normal by setting all my important apps (gmail/whatsapp/twitter...) to not be battery optimised. I also found some notification setting elsewhere that gave the default launcher permissions. I used nova launcher so I gave that permission too just in case, but I think the main fix was battery optimisation.
Just find it odd that I have never had to go into battery optimisation before on my previous phones (nexus 4, wileyfox swift) and notifications have come through fine after long periods of time in sleep mode.
Anyone able to suggest something else that may be causing this, or I could try. I wouldnt have noticed this problem if it wasnt for being at my PC and seeing new emails/fb messages coming in and not getting notification on my phone after the phone had gone into sleep.
-------------
As of typing this I recieved an email that also did not notify on my phone. Only when I picked up the phone I got it instantly. Battery optimisation for apps may not have worked.
Hi,
Could you solve this issue? If so, how?
Thanks.
I had the same issue a few weeks ago after playing around and disabling apps/services I didn't think i needed . I had to re-enable the "Moto" app, go into "Moto Display" and enable "Peek Dsiplay". That fixed notifications coming through the locked screen for me.
