Weird bug, play store superimposed on home screen - Moto X Q&A

Anyone seen this before? It has happened to me several times now. I think it only happens when I am updating apps, and go back to home screen while they are updating.

I've had this happen several times, but I'm not certain of the circumstances. Swiping Play from the recent list corrects the problem (until next time).

happens to me a couple of times in a month.
Running Aptoide and twitter.
Now I know that is not an app-related issue.
Any ideas?

I've not seen this error...yet
I have the GB rom in my xt1053 i do not you guys what version you have

Until the recent update 4.4.2 I was running 4.4, non-rooted. I haven't seen it happen on 4.4.2 so far.

Weird "minimizing" problem.

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!

What was the name of the app which needed to be frozen? I have tried freezing all "updater" apps and it is still happening.

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.

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.

Possible BUG - No Contact Photo....

Hey all,
I have a strange BUG with my Nexus 6. When someone calls me, in 70% of the times his/hers contact photo does not appear! only the default one (like the contact doesn't have a photo) Some times this happens even while I'm calling someone....
I'm on Stock Rooted 5.0.1 rom without any modifications.... (this was happening even before I rooted it)
Ideas?
I'm having this same issue. Thought it was just me since i haven't seen anyone complain about it.
+1
Also i feel like i am back to a crappy Samsung,with lag of 1 second or so when i open the Google Dialer;some ppl say its because of HD photos of favorites contacts.Wish also a solution for this.

[Q] YouTube Glitch Since Lollipop 5.1 Update

Hi so i asked over at the Motorola owners forums but nobody over there could resolve my issue. This is what's going on: So when I go to watch videos on the YouTube app on WiFi or Mobile data the video will start to play and then like 10 seconds in the video will stop and it will say "problem loading video tap to retry" so I tap to retry sometimes it works but most of the time it just keeps loading and never does anything. Once that happens all other streaming media apps don't work like Spotify won't play music as well as local mp3's that I have on my device. After a reboot then I'm able to play every thing again until it happens again. I've done a cache wipe and a factory reset without automatic backup/restore on as well as turning awesome player off in the developers options. And that has not changed anything. Any ideas on what to do? Also i'm not rooted i'm on stock firmware.
I get this as well. Are you using any xposed modules?

The truth is that la(te)st update for this phone is full of bugs. It ended up just like Razr. Good thing I installed 5.1 dump, just reverted back to stock 4.4.4.

yes its really bad. funny thing is i was one of the test drivers for the update for them, and they wouldn't listen to any of us when we told them not to mass release it but they didnt care and did it anyway. their feedback was horrible too they left us hanging for weeks with no updates. no communication at all.

I had the same problem, I uninstall youtube using titanium backup then install youtube apk v6.0.13, no problem with that version.
Let me know if that help you
I ended up downgrading to KitKat 4.4.4 ,overall much better. its stable with xposed and battery does last way longer. Just miss the eye candy of lollipop

I have this problem as well. Seems to work on my N7 with 5.1, so it must be moto specific. it is super annoying.

Top left corner screen

So I have had three ROMs now - resurrection, cm 12.1, and computerfreek - and all thee have the issue where the top left part of screen becomes disabled to touch. A restart fixes for a few. I got a message to disable chat heads in FB messenger but it didn't help. Any ideas?
I also have this issue. I'm inclined to think it's a hardware problem, since although it didn't start happening until after I unlocked the bootloader, it's persisted through many different ROM installations.
I too am having this problem restarting the phone fixes it for a wile running CF rom as well any ideas on what it might be would be much appreciated

We can't be the only ones with the issue
Same problem
I'm having the same issue with CM 12.1 on my T-Mobile Note 3 (Sm-N900T) and rebooting also temporarily fixes it.
I'm trying to narrow it down, does anyone else use PocketCast?

Facebook Messenger
Same problem here... I saw somewhere that Facebook Messenger is the culprit. I uninstalled it, and no problems since... But I really need the app for work and personal use. Seems crazy that an app can cause this problem!
It's the Facebook messenger app that causes this. It happens to other phones as well.

youtube app crashes my Note 8

I noticed a bug in the YouTube app on my device (note 8 SM-N950F).
while a video is playing if I minimized the movie and then maximized it (quickly few times in a row) the phone crash to boot.
I didn't face any kind of crash in the month I have it except this scenario in the youtube app .
the app version 12.44.53
as you can see :

anyone else can try and report ?
thanks
I have had the same thing. It would just randomly crash out and reboot my phone when minimising/maximising videos from the little preview window when scrolling.

I manage to find more info by trying diffrent things. I think maybe it's memory management bug. If the device is fresh from boot with nothing else running then it won't crash. But with some apps open in the background then it always happens. not randomly at all.
Did you solved it?

It happens so rarely that I haven't really done anything about it. It will happen out of the blue one day and won't show up for weeks. I have gone on the Samsung Members app and it detected an unexpected reboot which it reported to Samsung so maybe they will fix it eventually.
Same thing for me. Happened already 3 times. While resizing the window or passing from portrait to landscape.

I have same problem like you. Whenever there is an apps running in the background, it will crash. I happen rarely for me but this week, youtube and instagram crash 4 times already each. Yea most likely its Ram management.
any update on how to fix it? Thanks

I've checked now and it won't crash. I don't know if it's related but Yesterday I've installed the latest OTA update (which was the first since I've got my unit). Any way it's seems fixed as far as i can see. Didn't do anything except updating all my apps and the unit itself to the latest version available. If it will happen again I'll keep you update.
