Random restarts? - Moto X Q&A

Hi all,
Every now and then, my rooted, stock X will restart. I'll feel it vibrate in my back pocket, I'll pull it out and the white screen with the team Motorola world will be up. Very odd. Nothing changes on my phone except that all of my wifi codes disappear. Not a big deal as I have them backed up in TiBu. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this issue? I wish I could give a pattern, but it is randomly...

Only thing I could say is if it didn't happen with complete stock than something went bonkers along the way
I know you're on root but moto says try a cache wipe: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...i-do-if-my-device-keeps-rebooting/action/auth
can't hurt to try! also just try starting over from complete stock or removing some of your other root apps one by one until the issue vanishes. best advice I can give based on what you posted. hope that helps!

go back to 1.13.516

is there anyway to go back to 1.13.516 software? after the update ive been having bluetooth issues....seen here.
after the update i have a major problem......bluetooth resets the wireless radio.......whenever bluetooth is on my radio bars go to a red X then starts back up. The bluetooth also resets......it will do this about every 45 seconds if the bluetootb stays on......anyone else having this problem?.....btw this just started after the update BTW, ive done 3 hard reset hoping that was the issue but it wasnt....verizon CC suggests taking it to a retail store but i had going in there.....any suggestions
Doing a factory should do that as it should reset it to factor rom stored in bootloader. Then ignore the update.
However keep in mind they claim that the update helps fix the screen flicker issues.

ive gone 3 hard resets and it does not put it back to the original rom
Only way to do this is to wait for someone to post it, so far I have not been able to locate it, but eventually (hopefully soon enough) someone will post it.
You might try and go into recovery and do a factory reset from there, I was having some other troubles and found that doing it that way helped tremendously.

Yea i've done a factory wipe....didn't help
I need to do this too. I've only had my X for a short 12 hours, but this update has really hosed things up. I've notice:
- wireless causes imstability: (random reboots,slow response times, system and phone not responding to anything)
- connectivity issues: even in 3G areas web and market fail and need to be restarted. With 1x connectivity txt messages wont go through.
- general instability: screen unresponsive or buttons on screen looking as if they're presses but nothing happens. Cannot wake phone from standby.

So,i found that it was the exchange sync that was really hurting everything. I changed from push sync to every 15 min. I haven't tried wifi yet. But my battery life and overall speed have improved significantly.

Factory reset on any android phone does not change the ROM version.
try a different bt headset. i am using an old samsung wep150 and have no.issues at all. the only issue i have is the spacebar will put in a period with no space if i start typing to fast. and i turned all spell check and punctuation features off.

[Q] samsung captivate wont answer calls

I have a samsung captivate. It is a early model, I got it the day they became available. The phone will not always answer an incoming call. the green answer button comes up but will not swipe. Anyone else have this problem? Will froyo cure this?
Youre gonna need to add some more info....
are you on stock 2.1?
if you did flash a custom Rom which one and which kernel/ modem are you using?
Did you do a restore with titanium? (this is where I had problems when I flashed)
captivate wont answer incoming calls Sometimes
yes complete stock, no mods whatsoever
I had a problem like this when I first got my Captivate as well. My problem was that it wouldn't swipe all the way across the screen. This got very frustrating while driving. The solution, surprisingly, was to make sure my hands weren't completely dry. Without traction on the screen my phone didn't register my fingers.
I don't know if that'll help but there are also other dialers out there on the market that you can try legitimately without rooting or flashing a different ROM (if you're trying to avoid doing those things).
I would do a flash back to stock and do a master clear to rule out any software issues. You can do this without having to root. You just wont be able to back up your apps and system config.

It is and always has been completly stock.
Are you rooted? I had this problem every now and then... not very often.. I figured it was due to one of the apps I was running in the background, that was sucking up all the RAM and the phone became unresponsive. I backed up my apps, and flashed stock and then restored only the ones I absolutely wanted... I am sorry, I dont remember which app it was, just know that it was a background process that was collecting some kind of stats! Hope that helps!
By the way how long ago did this start happening?

i had a similar problem even tho i had a custom rom my incoming calls didnt come in at all.i had to Reflash my rom.. idk how similar this situation is but i agree with the other guys.. try reflashing stock
phone is not rooted. I cant tell you how long it has been happening but it appears to be more frequent as of late. The one thing I can ad, when it does it, it may do it several times in a row
Thank you guys for helping the newb.. I appreciat the input!
I occasionally get the same problem on my SGS even before rooting
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
The time it took you to go back and forth on this forum, you could have flashed back to stock and master clear to troubleshoot. The problem isn't going to fix itself.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Thanks for all the HELPFUL input
I will try flashing stock
This may be a common sense answer but usually when it doesnt swipe all the way accross for me its because of to much grease ( or sweat) on my hands or on the screen like after lengthy phone calls or if my hands are dirty or something. Try cleaning the screen well, and washing your hands and such. Always fixed for me.
by swipe do you mean it doesnt move at ALL or it goes half way or you cant get it all the way to the other side to answer?
Yeah, i know that when i first turn on my phone and try swiping, nothing will happen, it will just stay green and not respond. After leaving my phone on for a couple of minutes, it usually corrects itself.
This is also a common problem for stock users wanting to use a lockscreen replacement (i.e. widgetlocker).
If you try using widgetlocker without any lagfix, you can get phone call screens you can't interact with for a few seconds.
I have had a similar issue both stock and rommed. I find a lot of time it does have something to do with friction on the screen but also if I have low signal it will happen as well. My phone will actually freeze up to the point of having to remove the battery, this same thing happened on my old Samsung Blackjack II.

[Q] Lock Screen Password Enabled Even After Factory Reset

hey everyone!
my phone went a little crazy by randomly shutting off while using cm10 so I decided to restore to a stock non-root nandroid I made around 8 months ago. Everything went well up until the point I rebooted: I unwittingly had set up a text lockscreen password that I had since then forgotten (who remembers passwords from 8 months ago?!). So I went in CWM, did a factory data reset and rebooted. I turned off the screen and turned it back on to BAM! the lockscreen again... And the fracked up thing is that there isnt even a "forgot password" gmail confirmation option thing at the bottom so I'm completely locked out of my phone! Is there anything I can do other than buy that $4 screen lock bypass exploitation app??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe try another factory reset (sucks I know) and this time after boot go into security settings and turn off the screen lock before your screen turns off. If you just try and change the password you'll be prompted for the old one first. That being said, I haven't used stock in so long I can't promise this will work either.
Those random reboots you got with CM10 were common with older versions and the other variants such as Pacman, Slimbean, etc, but the latest one I haven't had that happen and I've been using it a week. I only say this because stock is just makes this phone crawl IMO.

Haha, thanks, not an absolute fix but at least it works. Kinda strange since I read that CWM factory resets wipes out everything including lockscreen passes... And my phone wasn't rebooting, it would just shut off randomly, battery would drain at horrifying speeds (from 99% to 0 after a 7 minute phone call) (I also had the latest ver). I was thinking that I could maybe restore stock rom and send it back to samsung or provider since its still under warranty
EDIT: I'm gonna try Samsung Remote Screen Unlock and see if that works. Plus I just checked my battery: It's as swollen as Rosie O'donnell at Mandarin, which explains the crappy battery life.

If you're rooted you can remove gesture.key using adb shell but I forget where exactly it is. Google it

yeah... can't root, need this phone to be as stock as can be if I'm to get it replaced (or at least the battery). Btw, Is there a way to possibly remove CWM in case they check recovery?
PS: Totally irrelevant but I keep reading about a CM10.1 rom for this phone; I've searched far and wide but I can't seem to find it! Could anybody point me in the right direction?

Yes the easiest way to get rid of cwm is to flash the stock file. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G there are, i believe two methods, one using Odin the other flashing something in recovery. Just read. As for cm10.1 camcory is working on it so is smartguy. Even i compiled it but it doesn't boot all the way. Check insomniaforums.org that is probably where it will be posted

CM10.1 boots fine and runs smooth but not yet ready for release. There is a few broken items in it I believe if I recall but cannot restore it due to limited battery till I get home to verify what was wrong. Be patient and when ready public will know about it.

Bluetooth and camera dont work. I'm saying my own personal build doesn't boot yet but I'm trying some stuff. Right now I'm working on aokp 4.1.2 to get that fixed all the way, mainly because i like aokp and I'm stuck on 4.2.2

Wifi issues

I just got my z1 and it's having trouble holding a Wifi signal for any period of time unless it's right next to my router. Even if I close the door I lose my signal. I'm running 4.3 and was wondering if there's any way I can check to see if I have faulty hardware?
Thanks

Yeah, I posted in another thread about I saw about the issues, and its at the point where wifiis not working at all. No networks in the area are show, and if they are, then only for a split second. Not sure why seeing as how I am on stock 4.3 no root. I decided to do a factory reset in the middle of writing this message. Everything is working fine now, so far.
Ok so, if I do a factory reset it should all be ok? I have a question, I just got this phone set up the way I like it, wallpaper, apps, folders, widgets, etc. I dont wanna have to do all that **** again so is there any way I can do a factory reset and back my phone up so that when I restore it comes out exactly how I left it?
So you can do backup several ways including the built in backup app, which I originally used. The problem is when I restored the backup, I started experiencing the same issues as before. I just did another reset and things are working normal for now.
I've updated each of the Sony apps with a restart and wifi switch off between each app to make sure it wasn't any of them. So far so good, so believe it was something in my settings back up. Clueless as to what though.

oops.

I need some help guys. Does any one have the com.lgsystemservice apk? I was removing some bloat ware and I accidentally removed this last night. My phone is not properly so if only one could help me with this I would be very greatful. For example when texting or just trying to type something it laying very bad or won't work at all. Thank you.
P.s. I tried searching for apk file my self and no luck.
I don't even see that in my system apps.

First off which variant do you have? Second I only see com.lgesystemservice.core.jar and com.lgesystemservice.core.odex which are part of the framework on the T-Mobile D959 variant.
Thank you for your relies, i have d959. The only thing that is not right is the keyboard. There is a terrible lag when comes texting. Other than thatthe phone seems to be working.
And the led light is flashing from green to blue
Please proofread your posts. I also have the d959 i dont find it in titatium. How where you deleting the bloat?

I used nobloat free
ok i am home now... before i was using my damaged g flex lol.
ok ill explain again but this time ill be more clear.
i am on tmobile and phone is D959
last night i was trying to delete some bloat ware using nobloat free from the market. i must have deleted something i should have because i was getting a pop up saying "unfortunately, com.lge.systemservice has stopped" i would tap ok and it would pop up again over and over again and i couldnt do anything so i had to force shut down the phone by holding the power button for about 10secs. once it powered on it poped up again but this time it was just once. after that i thought the phone was working correclty until i needed to send a text message, i saw that when i went to text a word there was a bad lag before the letter showed up. it seems that that is the worst thing that is wrong with the phone. i also notice that there is a lag when it comes to changing the volume setting from silent to vibrate to ringer.
i am woundering if i unroot and do a factory reset if that will fix my problem or if there is a way to download the stock rom so i can go back to stock if that makes sense.

Follow this guide. You'll be fixed right up and even keep all your data. This will restore your phone to stock, then reroot and try again. I suggest freezing apps n the future so all you would need is to unfreeze if you mess up.

Thank you bro, I will try me best to do this lol. I just gotta ask because everyone is telling me to do this but to do a factory reset. I think if I do this it won't fix the problem. But can someone just tell me what it would do. Thanks.
