Hey guys,
i have a weird problem.. Some of my background apps such google play music app sometimes closes for no reason.. its not crashing since i cant see any error message.. it just closes on its on.. not only Google play music some times my weather app closes and then restarts for no reason..
Also asphalt 8 which was working for a few days keeps closing when i choose a race and it loads the race..i dont face any problem opening the app and chooosing cars and other stuff...when this happens all my other apps even launcher(nova) closes and restarts..
Just bought the phone 1 week ago..
Any solution..i dont have any memory booster apps or task managers installed other than stock..i use CM antivirus only...
Details:
MOTO G 2014
unrooted, stock 4.4.4..
Thanks in advance guys..

I have seen this problem too. I think it's KitKat which is killing apps to free memory. But it's not configured correctly. I have observed if the free memory reduces to 300mb, the app killing starts. Moto need to fix this. Some people got the bug fix update, but not sure if that fixes the issue.

Try To Clear Cache N Dalvic cache..

How do you do that with stock recovery? I don't think that's a problem. I think it's related to min free memory setting in the rom. But only moto can change it.

I can't guarantee but give a try... Just Goto Stock Recovery And Clear Cache & Dalvic data Cache..

There are few more threads opened by people with same problem. So I have raised this issue with the motorola support forums. Interested people can go and comment there.

Follow these steps..
You first have to power off your Android smartphone. In order to do that, press the power button and select “power off”.
Wait a few seconds and then press the volume up and volume down buttons along with the power button at the same time for about 3, or 4 seconds.
Release the buttons; the Moto G boot menu must be now displayed on your phone.
Use the Volume Down button in order to scroll down and also up as the Volume Up button can be used only for selecting an option.
Scroll down until you reach “recovery” and the press the Volume Up button once.
The android logo will now be displayed on your phone.
Hold down Volume Up and Volume Down buttons for about 5 seconds and press power button once.
The recovery mode menu should now be displayed.
But i already tried this but no use..It keeps clearing my memory still..Its not life threatening but still annoying when it happens during a race..

[Fix] Rebooting and Crashing

For those with Droid 3s that love to randomly reboot. and crash/lag
and also crash on camera, here is a fix
1) FACTORY RESET PHONE (Erase all data)
2) When its back up and your signing back in, DO NOT CHECK 'Restore Data' or 'Keep Device Backed up'
3) Open settings later, and ensure they're both unchecked under Privacy
NEVER enable them
4) For safety incase wifi settings were restored:
Go to Wireless and Networks, Wifi Settings, Manage Network Settings, tap first option and itll say 'forget or erase wifi settings' , choose Yes
5) Reboot Phone
*If camera is still not up to your standards, use Camera360 from market.
Should be all fixed up, no more reboots or crashes, and fast.
I guess its a temporary fix until Moto serves an update.
Sucks if you rely on backup to get your apps back, but Titanium Backup is a nice app to backup settings/apps
I have random reboots also, but the strangest thing is that when I shut the phone off I can put it in my pocket or on a table and it will turn itself back on. Was wondering if this would help this as well?
Is it being charged when it turns back on?
Nothing is pressing the power button right
Not sure of your issue would be fixed by this you can try

Hey Guys,
I know this thread is ancient, but I couldn't find anything newer on that topic.
I'm having the random reboot issue since a while now and wondered if you could help me piece together what I've got.
I managed to find a way to provoke the reboots and that is by flooding the RAM. I opened up some random apps (doesn't seem to matter which ones, as long as they consume a lot of RAM) and it crashed rather quickly. I also managed to get a Logcat of that, but it seems pretty normal.
I attached the Logcat-Log of the last 15 sec before the crash.
But sometimes there are reboots that happen when I don't have anything intense running.
Also sometimes (often when I am using rather intense apps) the phone gets stuck with the screen turned off and it essentially acts like dead until I do a battery pull. Sometimes when it does that, it just reboots on its own after a minute or two. That could be what Cglocke might have been experiencing.
I am running an XT860 with System version 5.2.476.XT860.BellMobility.en.CA and Android Version 2.3.6
Does anybody have any ideas on that topic?

[Q] overall slowing of OS responsiveness over time

Has anyone else noticed that their Moto X doesn't seem as "snappy" as it used to? It feels like I'm waiting a lot longer for the camera to open and take a picture, it takes several seconds to attach a photo to a message using Hangouts, SwiftKey doesn't pop up as quickly, etc. I've been running 4.4 since AT&T pushed it out. I'm considering doing a factory data reset to see if it helps speed things up, but that's a bit of a hassle so I've been holding off. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
Nope. Has never slowed down here.

Wow! I almost made a thread about having this same issue recently. My x keep lagging and home screen scrolling was choppy and opening apps was very choppy also. I did clear cache partition and it has fixed it so far.

Good question. I haven't had stock recovery on a device for longer than about 20 seconds so I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can answer that question.

I don't remember where I found these instructions but they work for me.
To wipe the cache partition, follow these steps:
With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume down key and Power key for 2-3 seconds until the the Boot options screen appears.
Release the keys.
Use the Volume down key to scroll to highlight Recovery.
Press the Volume up key to select.
The phone will display the Motorola logo then the Android recovery screen.
Once the Android recovery screen displays, press and hold the Volume up key for 10-15 seconds.
Quickly tap and release the Power key.
The Android recovery screen will appear.
Scroll down using the Volume down key to highlight wipe cache partition.
Use the Power key to select.
The phone will power-cycle.

Wife's Note4 screen stays on.

Hello and Happy Turkeyday to all. I have an issue with my wife's note. When she gets any notifications they turn the screen on and it doesn't turn off. I feel pretty knowledgeable about the android O.S. in a whole, I have my S5 rooted and running AICP. I just can't figure out why the notifications cause the screen to stay on. Has anyone else had this problem maybe you could help shed some light on my issue. Thanks in advance.
Is the phone rooted?

No she won't let me root her phone.
Same problem
I have the exact same problem on my Note 4 (N910F).
My phone is rooted and I have had the problem from the start.
I am also running a custom kernel now but the problem persists.
Any ideas on why this is happening anyone? I've got it to not turn the screen on for a notification but now it won't turn off when plugged in.
Turn off the lock screen notifications, or everything you can on the lock screen settings, most likely something is causing the screen to wake lock. My bet is the weather widget.

I just searched for the same problem on the Galaxy s5 and someone said to download wakelock-detector to see if it's an app.
Will keep you updated if it helps.

So a little update, so far, my problem seems to be fixed.
After the app told me that Dsploit was causing a lot of screen-on time, I disabled the app.
Haven't had it happen so far today so I hope this helps you too.

Can anyone else have other fix? I have new note 4 with rom stock and very few apps (5-8 apps)
the "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery" app requird root this not my phone so I can't root for now.
If you have very few apps installed, uninstall those apps one by one to see which one is potentially keeping the screen on. Otherwise, do a factory reset, clear cache; also ensure power button is sticky and is fully functional.

I brought nexus 6 few weeks back and I am facing below issues. Are these known issues and something to do with settings
1. Apps randomly hangs and doesn't close cleanly
2. Lag in display in caller while dialing through caller history
3. Incoming call doesn't display automatically when in battery saver mode
4. While on speaker at high volume some blur kind of noise
5. At times notifications on lock screen doesn't respond even after double click
6. Overall OS sluggishness at times randomly.
Yes, most of them are common.

Most of these are common gripes, none can be corrected natively, but some can be corrected through different Rom's and such.
so basically all these problens could be fixed by the android 5.1 upgrade right? cause i have most of them issues... freezing apps is the worst.

nobody knows that, since android 5.1 is not released, and nobody knows what is included with it. but most of these issues that are reported here are user types of issues. meaning its your setup that will fix or break these things. like freezing apps you said.. that doesnt happen over here. usually its your setup or types of apps used that will cause that(apps not ready for lollipop).
That opens a big can of worms.

MMV, but the update should make things more definable. What apps a user may have and whether or not they are updated to work on lollipop should not be such a drastic issue, In a perfect world, Google should provide for backward compatibility or come out with a whole new version of their operating system; I.E. Windows 7 as opposed to Windows 8.
I recently put a different ROM in and used open minded Gapps for some idotic reason and now Nexus just reboots to password needed which I don't remember and it won't go into recovery at all so I can't factory reset it.

You should still be able to enter recovery using the key combination:
- power off the phone; can usually be done by pressing the power button a very long time.
- hold volume down and power button to power up. This should get you to the bootloader screen.
- here, select recovery using volume + power keys.
PS: it's better to start a new thread rather than reuse an old one that doesn't exactly match your problem.

phone kills scheduled events

I'm having issues with several apps not triggering at specific times/notifications. Tried to whitelist Duolingo and that worked for two days and then it stopped. Podcast addict is doing the same thing. It should update every 4 hours but nothing happens. Tried to whitelist it but didn't work. The developer thinks it is the phone that kills the wake-up trigger/alarm. Anything else that I can try as it is rather annoying that various apps only work if I actually open the.

What I meant by reboot was to boot into recovery mode and wipe caches.
Sorry not sure how to do that. Just going into memory clearing it from there doesn't do the trick?
Press the POWER+VOLUME DOWN keys simultaneously until the device restarts and oneplus splash screen appears. Then recovery mode will start and language selection menu will appear. Wipe caches from there. Be careful not to wipe anything else. Then restart your device. Most issues albeit small ones get resolved by doing this.
Seems like doze kills the check. If I switch doze off, podcast addict runs the check for new episodes. With it on it doesn't, even if I whitelist the app. It also seems like when it runs the new episode check , the phone kills the app as it showed up under power hungry apps. I'll see if the cache clean dies anything.
