Hello,
I purchased a Sprint Moto X on eBay a few weeks ago. I had intended to use it strictly as an "iPod" like thing for my family to mess around with. I left it on stock for a little while, but continually got these "activating SIM" interruptions, which would then fail. I decided to put CM on it to see if that would fix it. I booted it up just fine, but about 10 minutes in it reboots. Once booted it just says "System UI has stopped" over and over. I've also tried a bunch of other roms, including PAC, PA, and CyanHacker (current), clearing system, cache, data, and everything. Tried TWRP and Philztouch recovery. So I'm pretty much stumped at this point. The phone doesn't have a SIM card btw.

HTC One (was m7att, now m7ul) - nine months old on AT&T.
Rooted it with TWRP and a rooted stock ROM nine months ago. Weird symptom of losing root 15 mins after reboot, but I dealt with it.
A month ago my battery drained dead. Upon charging, it went into a reboot loop, staying on the login screen for no more than 5 seconds before the HTC boot up appeared again. Took a lot of time to try different things, but just leaving it alone for 3 days 'fixed it'. No more reboot loop AND I stopped losing root after 15 minutes.
A week later, it did it again. I could get into TWRP, just not do a full boot. I wiped the phone and installed Cyanogenmod 10, everything went great.
Two weeks after installing CM10, this week, it started again. I'd barely have time to login, in which time it checks mail and shows I have VM, before it reboots. Often, it would display: Unfortunately the Process.com.android.phone Has Stopped, and the login screen showed "Safe Mode" in the bottom left.
Using TWRP, I cleared /cache and rebooted. It recreated the Dalvik cache, booted, then looped.
I removed the SIM, same symptoms.
If I backup and reflash CM10, the problem goes away. But, as soon as I restore my data, it comes right back. There's something in the data that's causing this that has existed across a stock flashed rom and multiple flashes of CM10.
I'm running out of ideas of what it could be...
Hello All,
I received the Lollipop OTA about a week ago and since then my phone has been randomly restarting on its own and then proceeding to perform some sort of process once it starts.
It says something along the lines of "Optimizing Apps 1of 119" and this process takes a while. I have tried clearing the cache but it doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas of whats happening, solutions ?
Thanks,
Pete
I can confirm the problem. Having the same issue where apps are optimized on every power on.
When my nexus 7 updated to 5.0 it did this a few times. Then mysteriously stopped doing it after a week or two.
Whenever Android boots and starts with "Optimizing App # of #" it usually means your ART cache got wiped for whatever reason (corrupted maybe). This is the same effect as if you wiped the caches in TWRP. It takes a long time because ART caches are substantially larger than Dalvik caches.
Try to plug the cable off before turning on the phone. Looks like a serious bug but that helped in my case.
I performed a factory reset last night seems to be much better so far, I will report if the issue starts up again !!

Which lollipop update did u do, i mean the brazil retail one or the europe one??
Cos i faced this issue a lot in brazil retail update, yet to try europe update....
had the GB OTA update and can attest to the annoying android updating with each phone restart, fortunately I have not had any random rebooting issues as reported by others

But you do have annoying apps update at each restart right??
Yes i have the annoying android updating with each restart
I have experienced these random reboots and I have also noticed that I get an error when taking screenshots where it says that either the storage is full or the app doesn't allow it. I have at least 3gb left and I have tried it across the system and it doesn't work. I am on the retail US version for XT1053

I have also some optimising situations on the restarts. Someone know what can fix or raise this situation?
Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Free mobile app
the android updating stopped, not sure if it was clearing the gallery data (2GB) the helped, or booting it safe mode, anyway boot time is now back to normal
Mine only gets into the process of optimizing apps when it's connected to the power source (PC via usb or directly to the power outlet). I just have to remember to unplug before switching off the phone.
It doesn't restart on its own.
Apart from missing lots of features after the Lollipop update, I also have the optimizing problem, it takes 30min and is extremely annoying, happened 5 times already, one time was a random reboot.
Any idea how to fix it? I do not consider a factory reset a solution. Motorola has spend much time and effort in upgrading while keeping all existing settings and app configs and app data. If I knew I would need a reset I would not have "upgraded" (def would have stayed with 4.4.4 had I known some pratical features are missing, the change log and all tech sites are waay to optimistic about the Lollipop updates!).
same here.

My sister in law had the same experience.. After the 5.1 update on her XT1053 Dev Edition, she kept getting the "optimizing app xx of yy" on reboot... After a factory reset, and setting up from scratch, she is back to working fine.
Friend of mine had the same experience with his XT1053... factory reset and setup from scratch fixed it.
I received the OTA two weeks ago (retail.en.gb), after some days i had a reboot and the optimization of 130apps
So i decided to do a factory reset and install just few application.
Tonight i forgot to put the phone on charge and this morning i had again reboot and optimizaion, just 80 apps bat took 10minutes!
I hope someone found a fix for this annoing issue
worst phone ever, it is very frustrating,should i upgrade to android M ?
Try encrypting then factory reset.
I've been banging my head against the wall with this issue for months and finally have decided to reach out and see if I can get some additional insight.
My wife had upgraded from her 2013 motox about a year and a half ago and it has been just sitting in a drawer until a few months ago. I pulled it out a while back thinking of using it as a music player for the kids, well I booted it up and it will literally force close random apps constantly, to where the moment I click away another pops up, lots of Gapps crashes but everything from alarm clock to youtube, system apps and downloaded apps, if I am fast (and lucky) enough I can navigate through the phone like a snail in molasses... Well, this is just the beginning, in addition to the FC issue, any changes I make to anything on the phone will not stay changed... I have uninstalled just about every downloaded app and disabled just about every system app and they all come back or become enabled again. Even managed to delete a few gigs of photos off it while connected to my pc and... after a reboot, they are back.:crying:
I don't recall using rockmymoto or anything on her phone (Its on 4.4.4), I am still using my moto x and I did all that on mine but never hers... Yet I am unable to reboot to recovery, just fastboot also her phone doesn't load the adb drivers and only shows as a MTP usb device while my MotoX shows as XT1058 and the ABD interface.
I have tried flashing stock firmware via RSD Lite and manually thru Fastboot, I've done 4.4.4 and 5.1.x and each time I have no issue flashing the entirety of the packages but when it reboots its still has all her data and all the force closes... Also tried the in phone factory reset (in regular mode and safe mode) and I can click the "Erase everything" button but it doesn't proceed.
It's driving me freaking insane! When she stopped using it, it was fine, no issues whatsoever and I am incredibly confused at how it got this way while just sitting in a cupboard drawer. I have had over a dozen Android phones, all rooted and flashed, I consider myself a pretty competent user, i've baked my own roms and compiled cm(7) from source and even unbricked a few devices here and there for friends and family but this is literally got me stumped.
Really hoping someone out there sees this, has had a similar issue and maybe has some good new for me.
Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,
I have the XT1925-12 G6, the Verizon 3GB version, and I've had constant issues with it rebooting and getting "[app name] has stopped responding" or just simply instant reboots to the boot screen and it'll stay there for 10+ minutes before it'll even boot up. I'm unrooted, no custom recovery, and no custom ROM. I've factory reset 3 times, and it still persists.
Does anyone know of why this may be happening and how I could fix it? Would flashing a custom ROM be better? It happens during even the simplest tasks, such as sending a text or browsing Facebook as well.
Thanks for any and all help.
If you've already factory reset it 3 times and the phone keeps freezing, it might be a hardware issue. I would see if Verizon/Motorola could swap it out. Being as it's a Verizon-branded phone, there are no custom ROMs available for the phone since you can't root it.
Anyone else having to completely wipe their P5's every other month?
I've had my P5 since a couple of months after launch, but every month or every other month since for some reason I have to wipe my phone completely and reflash the latest security image, starting all over in effect. All because the phone wants to become unresponsive or randomly reboot.
It could be because of the fact I'm stock rooted with latest Magisk canary, it could be the module I've installed (Viper4Android 2716), or it could be something faulty with hardware.
It's not exactly awful to wipe and reflash every so often, but it is annoying! I tend to flash every monthly update myself (command line or powershell / adb platform tools, etc) instead of OTA. But I don't believe that should be a problem.
Either way just wanted to see if anyone else are having similar issues with their Pixel 5's. It's been both a great phone and terrible at the same time, but I knew that when I bought it.
If it's a hardware issue, that's a whole other can of worms (I purchased unlocked through Amazon)...

I don't have a Pixel 5 but I have other Pixel phones. No problems like that and I flash my firmware every month via fastboot as well. No ota's. I'm rooted using magisk canary as well. No viper but several of my own mods.

I've had mine since November.. haven't had to wipe since I got it.
I have no idea what happened to me but a few days ago out of nowhere my device decided it didn't want to function normally anymore.
I restarted my phone to get substratum overlays to show up and my phone got stuck at "phone is starting".
I tried everything I could think of to avoid having to wipe but nothing worked. I thought maybe Nova launcher became corrupt since my home screen wasn't loading. Tried changing the default launcher but that didn't work.
I tried reflashing the OTA as well as unrooting and trying different kernels.
I ended up making my situation worse as I went from "phone is starting" to my device boot looping.
Eventually I got to a point where I was at a screen (I think it was recovery) telling me that the Android system could not be loaded and I had two options. Either I could choose try again or to factory data reset.
I decided to go into fastboot and just reflash the factory images to both slots.
Normally it wouldn't be an issue but I wasn't prepared or expecting for this to happen, so I ended up losing some media that wasn't recently backed up.
I was also using the beta version of Swift Backup, and there was a bug that didn't allow me to restore my apps. So I truly had to start from scratch in terms of my apps at least.
This was the one and only time that I've had my device give me severe issues.
In terms of issues on the less severe side,
On occasion I will also notice lag and stutters which are more apparent on proton or zest kernels. These stutters and lag also happen on other kernels but not as often. The animations of opening and closing apps or navigating between different things in the UI become super choppy and stuttery.
I don't think this has to do with the mid-range processor though, I think it has to do with some sort of kernel or software configuration that needs to be tweaked.
So I guess you could say I'm somewhat in the same boat, seems like a fresh install of the OS wouldn't be the worst idea every couple of months.
