Have anyone experienced their phone failing to unlock, but showing the time and lock displaying towards the bottom of the screen? This has happened to me twice today. I couldn't get pics because it ended up rebooting.
Nope
Haven't experienced it in 3 weeks of owning the phone. Go to the play store and search for Moto X see if you can update the motorola display and sensor apps if you havent already done so. For slme reason, these apps will not update automatically unless you search for them and manually update for the first time.

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.
So I used a guide a few months back to make my HTC One into the Google Play edition. Today I finally got around to installing some updates. I went to 4.4.3 and installed it, and then noticed that there was another update out, 4.4.4, and went ahead and it installed that as well. Everything came out fine, but I'm having some issues:
The biggest is a flickering kind of screen glitch - I've attached a photo. I can't take screenshots anymore, either; it tells me that 'storage may be in use'. It goes away if I swipe or change something, but always comes back if I, say, reopen the keyboard. It happens everywhere, including the status bar.
The powerdown menu also no longer displays. My screen simply goes dark like it does when the menu opens, but it doesn't display the options. It still functions as if it's there, as I've been able to use it to shut down my phone.
I haven't been able to find anything online about it - perhaps I should just roll back to the last version I was running if I can't figure this out.
Anybody know? Wasn't having issues like this before.

Bump, same problem, same situation. Rolled back to 4.4.3 for now
Hello, I have received an update to Android Wear 5.0.1 yesterday on my LG G Watch R. Ever since I've updated it, the watch as been freezing and giving me a static screen. The screen will remain there for 5-10 minutes and then it will act fine again, but then it will randomly freeze and give this issue again. I deeply regret updating as the watch has been perfectly fine and running smooth before the update. I will try to attach a picture of the screen, but has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a possible fix?

I have a some what simillar problem.
After the update my custom faces no longer go on standby mode.
I'd remove all wear related apps on your phone. Uninstall android wear too. Then I'd factory reset my watch. Reinstall wear from the market and see if the problem persists

This sounded like a hopeful idea but upon resetting to factory settings, the device shut off and reboot(as expected) and then it just gave a static screen. The static screen stayed there for five minutes and it allowed to select a language, ect. I have just re-installed Android Wear onto my phone(I had it uninstalled before resetting the watch) and it is now paired and it is behaving as it did after updating it yesterday, just giving me random static screens I'm leaving the country tomorrow, but I will be checking back for any solutions between now and then. Anything would be helpful. But it does look like I will be contacting LG about the matter, it doesn't seem to be a common issue to have a static screen...
Some face are not compatible with new face api in V5. Try with a LG Standard face (Camping) to see if you freeze or not ?
I have issue with intellicom, weather Watchface..... now I'm trying original face and no issue in 24H

My first one did this, but would not get normal until the battery was empty, charging it did cause a reboot. Contacted LG, they said a Hardware failure, and send me a email with their conclusion (i send them a picture, with a description) so if the webshop i bought it from was reluctant to swap it for a new one, i was supported by this, not necessary, they swapped it, that one got the blinking issue, and now i have a third new one Get it replaced!

I might just go ahead an do this once I get back home. This morning the screen was acting very odd as I was swiping through notifications and it just began blinking and showing black lines near the edge. It stopped once I hit the power button twice. I'll just get it exchanged before it gets worse Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Hopefully I get lucky the second time!
I'm not sure if this is happening on other devices. My Moto X (2013) running 4.4.2 (I am on Republic Wireless) started doing something funny about a week ago. Randomly, I'll unlock my screen to see that any and all text within Google Now Launcher is blurred out. The only way I've been able to fix it is by resetting the device. Clearing cache doesn't work for me. I suppose I could try uninstalling and reinstalling, but I'm not sure if that would really fix an underlying problem if there is one. Does anyone have any ideas?
I had this happen to me one day in an app.. I think it was Reddit Is Fun or Fenix (Twitter). I don't think it happened when I was unlocking the screen, I was already in the app and using it. The screen may have timed out and I unlocked back to it with that app already open, but I distinctly remember the blocky letters on the entire screen, and I could still scroll and stuff. I think I might have pressed Home and my home screen icons had the labels like that too, so I just rebooted and it went away.
I do not use GEL, so I don't think it's related to that. It happened once, I rebooted my phone and it never came back.
I am on stock 4.4.4 XT1060.
Yesterday a toast I guess you would call it because it's not the normal gray color started showing up quite frequently on my phone. I haven't made any changes or installed new apps recently with the exception of about 8 malware scanners. I installed one at a time scanned then uninstalled. I'm at a loss for what could be causing this and how to fix it. I tried resetting the app preferences regarding draw over other apps but the problem persists. I Googled it with no results so I put it in quotes for a more specific search and it turned up absolutely zero. It troubles me to ever have in there but even more so that it's one I haven't seen before. I included a screenshot because sometimes it pops up multiple times in a row back to back so it was easy to capture. I'm hoping somebody has at least saw this before. I'm on Android 7.1.1 unrooted unlocked Note 8. Any help or ideas is appreciated.
Nobody has even seen this before? I turned off every single thing on the draw over other apps section of settings including system apps and it still keeps popping up.
Try booting in safe mode to see if it still happens
