[Q] random reboot/mms bug?

Hi there,
just wondering if anyone else are having issues of their phone randomly rebooting? does anyone know of a fix?
also, sending photos as an attachment does not work. in order to send a photo to anyone on your contact list.
found a work around by going through gallery and sending it directly from there.
if anyone know of a fix for either issues. the help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
kevin

I've had several random reboots. Oddly enough, they usually occurred overnight when I wasn't using the phone. I would hear the vibration on my windowsill and saw it was rebooting. I did a factory reset yesterday and while in the midst of setting everything up on my phone, it rebooted again. I thought that maybe there was too much going on and it overloaded. But last night when I was out and not using my phone, it rebooted again. I'm gonna have to go to Verizon to swap the phone.

It keeps happening on mine, but almost always in the car while attached with BT. I'm wondering if BT has something to do with it, in my case.

Same thing
I am also experiencing the issue specifically at night. I have yet to actually have it interrupt me in anything but its still a concern. Just curious about whether for those of you who are experiencing it are using the Assist app or Android Assistant?

I only use the Assist app for when I'm in the car. It's not setup for night time. I exchanged my phone at Verizon today and so far so good. One of the employees tried telling me that the reboots could have been because I had Better Battery Stats installed on my phone and the battery saver apps can conflict with the OS. I blew his mind when I told him that BBS wasn't a battery saver app and simply lets people know about specific wakelocks. Seemed like no one there had any idea this phone even existed.
For the reboots, I guess tonight will be the big test.

It happened again to me this morning as soon as I got in the car and it connected to Bluetooth. Once it reboots, it's solid.

Please report back. I have gone 24 hours without a reboot with no changes to the device which is a first. If it doesn't have a Samsung or Apple logo no one seems to care anymore.

I can't get Assist to work at all. I typically listen to podcasts in the car and when texts come in I get a notification sound but I've never had one read to me. I disabled Assist to see if this was the cause of my Bluetooth reboots, and it's not.
With Assist disabled entirely, each time my phone pairs with Bluetooth it connects but the moment I start to play something it reboots. It's very consistent.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't had any reboots with the new phone. I exchanged my old one for this one on Monday and so far everything's been good.

I have now had 3-4 random reboots that I have seen. I have also witnessed a complete lock up of the phone. I will be heading into Verizon today to exchange my phone.
Just wanted OP to know more people are having issues.

5.0 Lollipop Battery drain and phone is HOT!!!

I have updated to the lollipop update like many and my phone is warm and sometimes hot.
I am not using my phone and it still gets warm and drains the battery life.
In 4 hours I will go from 100% to dead with no use.
My screen was off but shows it as being on. **See attached photo
I searched the MOTO threads and cant find anything as of now to resolve this issue.
Anyone else having this issue and find a fix?
Tried wifi channels to see if this issue fixes this, cleared cache and nothing........
Hope help comes quick!
If I can get some help I will buy them a beer or coffee!

Okay here's an updated seems to fix the issue......
I disabled the WiFi location settings, download clean master -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard -- and seemed to have fixed the issue so far.
Keep you posted as the day goes on.

After you updated, did you do a factory reset? If not, and before you do, what apps do you have installed? You might have an unruly app that's just constantly running. I hear Google Fit hasn't been too friendly...
Since Google services is pretty high on the usage list, it could have something to do with syncing errors or maybe problems with updating Google Play services/Play Store. Make sure you have the latest versions.
Google Play services (6.5.85) - http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google.../google-play-services-6-5-85-1589008-438-apk/
Google Play Store (5.0.38) - http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
Also, unsync any services in your Google account that you aren't using.
Don't forget to turn off extraneous radios like WiFi (if you don't use it for location), GPS, NFC, and Bluetooth when you're not using them.
If all else fails, factory reset and pay attention to the apps that are being downloaded. Uninstall garbage and disable what you can't uninstall, but don't use. Hopefully this helps.
EDIT: Seems you fixed it. Nice! Well, use this as a reference for your next step if things don't stay behaved.

Clear cache and reboot. If you still have the problem, do a factory reset. Also, has the phone stabilized? Have you been through a couple of charge/use cycles? There could be a load of background processes setting up for the first day or so.

Seems the Qualcomm battery guru is a culprit as is the xfinity WiFi app.
Motorola said do a factory reset but I don't want to if something else can be done.

Think it's fixed by the WiFi location and the clean matter app showing the apps that kill the battery.

Here is a great article about asps that keep restarting in lollipop. It's a bug in ART. Google is working on a fix.

I'll post my battery drain/overheating story just to join the fray...i updated to Lollipop 4 days ago and I have had to charge my S5 at least a dozen times. I have tried power save mode, disabling every nonessential app and anything else I can find in the forums.
I used to get 15-16hrs of battery life (6am-10pm) with charge to spare, but immediately after the update my CPU sits maxed (monitored by Micro CPU Monitor) and constantly overheats (GSAM Battery Monitor). The phone went from 95°F to 105°F in 10min with standard use. I only had it overheat one other time in the last year (on my dash in the summer). I hope Google/Verizon will replace my battery because this abuse of it is going to shorten the life considerably!
See screen shots from the last charge at 4pm to now (10:15pm) all while UNUSED and in powersave mode plus battery at 107°F (a new record for me)!
I really don't want to reset the phone and lose my app settings, plus it seems to be hit/miss with other's issues. Any suggestions would be great.

Seems hit or miss.
Not sure what to tell you but try making sure you're Wi-Fi isn't always searching for locations when not connected. Seems this is a huge problem for many as Verizon threads and Android forums are filling up. I don't have an S5 but will keep looking for the fix.

Location icon blinking constantly

Anyone see their location icon blinking constantly in the upper right corner? It just started this morning. I have had android 5.1.1 since late last week. It's eating my battery. 73% after an hour .

Seeing the same thing after upgrading to 5.1.1 yesterday

What build? I'm on Z and haven't had this at all. Obviously not a common issue. Yet.

sounds as you have an app constantly checking your location. set your location to battery saving.

The thing is that it's not really blinking, it's more flickering really rapidly. Looks buggy. And I've never seen it before. Had to turn off location for quite a while to get it to go away. It's happened twice in two days.

it pops up when your location is being used, ive seen it a few times.

Same issue!
I am having the same issue here. Its not blinking, its more a flickering of the icon like there is a loose connection to a light bulb. Quite odd....
It started just before I update to 5.1.1, sometime after I/O so I wonder if it might be related to the Photos app or another google app update. I hoped upgrading to 5.1.1 would resolve it but it was still there.
I am also on 100% stock android

Same, nexus 5_ 5.1.1 stocks
I've exactly the same issue. Hoping updates~~~ i've notice battery decrease vert fast sincères update. Not sure it's related

One of your applications keeps requesting location access and is being granted then it'll turn off. Find out which application it is and then uninstall the app or deny the location permission to the application.
Or just turn off location / GPS.

I have a Nexus 6. I noticed the issue about 2 weeks ago. I was hoping to get it fixed with the 5.1.1 update, but it didn't.
I haven't been able to find out which app causes this. If someone finds out, could you please let us know?

Boot up in safe mode. Start each app until you find the culprit.

Any resolution?
Has anyone had any luck finding the app responsible for for the flickering icon?
I have started it in safe mode, however am unable to open 3rd party apps in safe mode so cannot find the cause.

Bump
Same issue every startup. 5.1.1 stock. Seems the easy fix is to turn on and off bluetooth though surely there is a more scientific resolution.

I'm been having same issue for some time now.
Today, while location was blinking, I checked the location options and "eye-fi mobile app" (for eye-fi SD card) was at the top of the list.
I have uinstalled it and the blinking stopped...
Will see these days if was the only one causing the problem

7.1.1 Crazy Mega Bluetooth "Drain"

I say "drain" because the phone is obviously not using as much battery as Android is saying it does. I'd need to tow around a car battery for this phone.
Anyway, ever since the update to 7.1.1, my Bluetooth battery reading says it uses so much battery, that the other apps dont even show up. I'm rooted but otherwise no mods. I've tried stock, Franco, and Elemental X kernels. I've even tried removing my Bluetooth headphones and car connection. No luck. I can turn bluetooth off, but that defeats the purpose of it when I want to use it.
The only thing I haven't tried is formatting the phone. Before I did that, I figured I'd ask and see if anyone has seen this or had ideas? Searching around for excessive bluetooth drain hasn't helped, and my battery life is just a little bit worse but it could be coincidence?
Ideas?

Well just a follow up, I tried resetting the phone...no luck. New and fresh now, still reading a huge battery drain.

FWIW, I'm seeing the same thing on the January 7.1.1 build and now the February one too. 32% today. A couple days ago it was between 40 and 45%.

It's been like this since 7.1.1 came out. I thought it was something to do with my Pebble but I guess not.

I went ahead and restored my original 7.1.1 backup. I tried flashing the 7.0 radio and no luck there either. My next change will be going back to 7.0. I'm assuming that will likely fix the problem

I see this as well on the latest Pure Nexus. I don't think I saw it on NitrogenOS since it was using older blobs.
EDIT: It might actually be caused the the new Instant Tether feature. Saw it mentioned on G+ and since turning Instant Tether off, I no longer have the battery drain or bluetooth having the highest percentage.

Same here on the 26Q version of 7.1.1. All my battery stats shows is bluetooth. Yesterday the "computed power use" value I swear was over 100K. I rebooted earlier today and it seems to be showing other items in that list now, but not what should be shown there. I have used apps and they arent showing up there.

Yep. This entire day that I've not had Instant Tethering, I've not had massive battery drain and bluetooth hasn't made the list of battery offenders.
Calling it fixed for me.

This was before instant tether and before 7.1. The first mention of bluetooth battery drain was as soon as 7.0 was released.
Try clearing cache, then open bluetooth share apk and clear data. (it's a temp solution)

What's instant tether?

I turned my instant tethering off and everything is back to normal as far as what's showing in the battery stats. I might turn it back on to double check but I'm confident instant tethering was causing it for me.

Just an update but I've stayed on 7.1.1 and didn't give myself time to downgrade to 7.0. I began having problems with Google Now not populating and constantly being blank as well as the incorrect battery usage.
I went ahead, turned off instant tethering, cleared both the cache and data in the Google App, and installed the newest Google beta 6.13.21.21. Now my Google Now has been working great for 3 days but my battery usage reading are back to normal as well. It could be a problem with the google app? Or it could be an issue with the instant tethering as mentioned because that is part of the google app?

What can I do if instant tethering is nowhere to be found. Pure Nexus 711 dynamic Gapps full edition

I have this problem. It started on 7.1.1. When Bluetooth is on, but not connected to a device its constantly scanning. Its detecting hundreds or even maybe thousands of devices throughout my work day. I work and travel around Manhattan 5 days a week. Once I get home, I have a Bluetooth system I stay connected to all the time and the drain is totally absent. I've observed the same pattern for the past week. Is there any way to stop it from scanning? I don't want to constantly turn Bluetooth off and on when I need to use it. I would love to decide when it scans for Bluetooth.

Try what I did. Clear your cache and data from the Google app. Then find the 6.13.21.21 beta Google App apk online and install it. I rebooted from there and things have been great since Tuesday

Turn of Bluetooth Scanning in three dots menu under location. That solved several Bluetooth issues for me

My Google app is functional 100% I've had problems like you experienced with the Google app in the past but now it's loaded up just fine. I turned instant tethering off and I'm going to wipe every cache I can think of so Well see what happens.

Turned that off yesterday and today I still experienced 86% Bluetooth in the battery and nothing else over 10 hours.
Edit I just checked out the battery stats and it says 120% so there's definitely something wrong with Bluetooth here. I'm stock rooted from the tool kit. I'm going to wipe and flash something custom, hopefully it's better.

Notifications Issue

Is anyone having issues with their notifications not coming through, or coming in super late, or having the same notifications coming up over and over? I'm expecting all three problems, it seems to be happening with every app for me except for calls and text. I factory reset the phone but that didn't fix the issue. If I restart the phone, then all my notifications that haven't physically gone into the app to check start pouring in. No idea what could be causing the issue and it's really starting to piss me off. I have already sent my phone in for repair cause my LTE data stopped working for no reason. I don't think both issues are related as I do have LTE data after they replaced some part.
Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks.

I had notification delays with gmail app, fixed it by turning off battery optimization for this specific app.

Some people may have battery saver on and this may cause late notifications. Also check in settings "auto sync", under accounts. I did have some late notifications issue with Gmail app and do know battery optimization usually is the cause, but it went away in couple of days after I bought the phone.

Thank you for the suggestions. I ended up turning on high performance mode. Let's see if that helps.

How'd this work out for you? This phone is horrible for notifications for me. It constantly doesn't send them until I actually pick up my phone, then suddenly I'll get 5-10 notifications at once. I've turned off EVERY bit of power saving that I can find. I only run in high performance mode 24/7 with all adaptive battery, power optimization, auto app sleep, etc turned completely off. I've also tried disabling all power saving and sleep in the specific app pages as well. I need to be more observant, but I think this is mostly with push notifications (ex, my 2FA app for work) rather than apps with timers to check for updates occasionally. I also have an issue with my wifi disconnecting while the screen is off sometimes which is highly annoying since my home presence detection is based on my phone being on the wifi, though last time it started doing that a reboot fixed it.
Unfortunately, a search proves that this is a widespread issue. At this point I've pretty much given up on this phone and am looking to replace it as soon as I find a suitable alternative. I'm just curious if it's a Samsung issue or a Pie issue that will occur on other phones as well.

Seems to be a general issue with android. Mine have gotten better recently. In addition to turning off battery optimization for any apps I want notifications for, i have done the following:
1. Wiped cache (under settings/app/storage), then rebooted into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition.
2. Gone into the setting and made sure apps I want notifications for are allowed to run in the background (settings/apps/select app for notifications/battery).
3. Allowed to run in background when on mobile networks (settings/apps/select app/mobile data/Allow Background Data Usage.
4. Gone into messages/settings/more settings/push message/changed toggle from "Prompt" to "Always".
Hope that helps.

It's gotten better for me. I enabled high performance mode but I had to keep going in and checking it a couple days after still even though it was enabled. Been a couple weeks now and the notifications I was missing before all seems to be coming in fine now. Time will tell though I guess lol
Are you also having trouble with apps updating? That was another problem I was having where I'd see apps needing to update, I'd start "update all" one app would download and then get stuck at 99% and it would just stay like that for about 40mins and prevent the other apps from updating. Then finally when it would finish the next one would do the same. It would literally take hours upon hours for 12 apps to update when it should only take a couple mins. That issue seems to be fixed for me now too.
