I have been experiencing a rather annoying bug on my S6. After unlocking the screen, sometimes the status bar will not pull down. This happens about 1/5 unlocks. I have to lock the screen again and then unlock for it to work again. Since the status bar is usually the first thing I use after unlocking, this becomes a real pain. I was hoping that the recent update would fix this, but it's still happening.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I couldn't find anything on the forums or Google.

Could you please provide additional information about your phone, such as the Base and or ROM?
Maybe try going into Recovery mode and clearing cache, that may resolve it.

No recovery, but the cache was cleared after I installed the G920AUCU1AOE2 update.

There is the issue right there, your base needs to be G920AUCU1AOE2, your on the older firmware but using the newer ROM. Use Odin to return to stock G920AUCU1AOCE, then do the OTA update from AT&T again. FYI The new PingPong Root still works on the new OTA, if you decide to go that route.

That doesn't explain why it was happening when I was on the version that it shipped with. They matched at that point. Good suggestion though.

I just updated the baseband to match the software. I'll report back after I use it a bit to see if it happens again. It just happened after I posted that. Ugh x.x
Looks like I'm going to have to factory reset. I was hoping more people would at least vote on the poll -.-
Wireless charging possible cause
It seems like this issue only happens if you use wireless charging. I did a factory reset on the phone and used it for a couple weeks with AC charging and I did not have this issue. As soon as I tried wireless charging again, the issue came right back.

I strictly use wireless charging, so your blanket statement only applies to you. Never had an issue with three different charging pads.

I am having difficulties updating to the newest system update on the stock rom. I am rooted and have unlocked my bootloader, so that may have something to do with it. I am also running on straight talk, but I doubt that would be an issue, as it says it's already downloaded it and it just needs to install it. When I click install now, it turns the phone off, does the little thingy, then reboots. Upon rebooting, everything loads up, and a popup appears saying that the update failed, and then every hour it pops up asking to update. Do you know why this is happening and how to fix it, or a way to permanently suppress this popup?

You need to be completely stock to take the OTA. If you haven't flashed Mex or Bell, I have a zip, maybe flashable (can't test, broke phone) that contains a completely stock /system. Or you can just backup your apps and flash the stock AT&T fastboot.
Post with link to zip.

Yes, you clear the cache. But if you want to leave yourself open to be vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug, a pretty serious security issue, then by all means, leave your front door unlocked so hackers can tap into your device and take anything they want.

I'd say it's more like posting on Craigslist that you're going on vacation and then leaving all the doors open with your debit/credit card on the coffee table. It's a pretty serious bug, and according to wikipedia, 1.5% of the most popular 800,000 websites are still vulnerable to the bug, not to mention running a sideloaded app or connecting to a malicious website.
got the same issue on one of my atrix hd's but not the other. On mine that I unlocked the bootloader and rooted myself took the ota update but the other which was bought in the same condition will not and just keeps giving an error. trying to figure this out now so will update.

Flashing back to completely stock may be the easiest way to get the update.

If you flash the OTA update manually using something like Philz recovery, you can see the progress on the screen and where it stops updating. For me, it kept hanging on updating the smartactions.apk, which was because I had previously (long time ago) merged updates of the app to my System partition (along with a few other apps that were updated). This will mess up any attempt to do an OTA update, because your "stock" ROM is no longer stock.
I ended up having to flash back to the real stock with Mythtools, then install the OTA zip manually.
If you can't find the zip in your cache, you can download it directly from this post (thanks @skeevydude): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52657363&postcount=13
I just upgrade to 4.4.4 .
I don't know why the home button disable after I upgrade the software from play store.
Swipe to open the google is unable to use too.
Appreciate the help!
that is just not enough information. what software did you upgrade from the play store? 4.4.4 doesn't come from the play store, it comes as an OTA update. did you install a new launcher?

Are you rooted/ have safestrap/ have bootloader unlocked??? You could fix the problem without too much difficulty if you do.
If not, a factory reset may be your only option. If that doesn't fix the issue, I'd say talk to verizon or moto about getting a new phone.

Sunshine is a BL unlock exploit for phones with locked BL's.
What I mean by returning to stock rom is reinstalling the firmware. It is very possible that the OTA did not correctly download to your phone/ not install properly.
Thank you for your information, 1ad.
I may try the way you said next time.
im pretty happy with kk, but i do want to be on 5.0, so i just wanted to make a few thing clear first.
1. if anything goes wrong with flashing a captured ota, how to restore my kk as it is now? will simply restoring a twrp backup do the trick on any stock rom?
2. where can i find the stock rom? the motorola site links arent working for me.
3. the quicksettings panel. is there a way/mod/app/ that will let me pull down quicksettings with one swipe like on cm and with gravitybox?
4.i really like to be able to customize the quicksettings, is that possible?
5. are there any bugs that seriously affect most users?
i am planning to root immediately so root only mods are fine.
im on a rooted unlocked bootloader xt1063,
thanks for your time,!
1. Just flash the stock ROM via fastboot.
2. I guess are some links on the Development section.
3. in 5.0, unfortunately not.
4. I guess no :/
5. Only a bootloop that happens with the newest versions of SuperSU (the only versions that works with 5.0), no major bugs..

When I ran into that problem I just hard reset (hold power button until it reboots) then let it run the course. After another reboot it came up to the lock screen and all was well. I have not had any issues since.
That said, I suspect if I had just left it for a few minutes without the hard reset it would have been fine. My tendency (as is the case with most people in these forums) is to be impatient, and jump the gun before things are completed.
The first reboot after installing Lollipop takes a while so don't get impatient.

Try pulling down with two fingers instead of one- I've heard that this is the shortcut for the quick settings. (I don't have a device w/ 5 to try.) I think Google has also made the tiles in the quick settings dynamic and "smart" based on what you use most often. I tend to prefer having a static view and knowing exactly which ones are present (and in the same place!), but I won't know until I actually use it more.
I have the US GSM variant (XT1064) which came preloaded with 21.11.23. The OTA I've found only applies to 21.11.17 (the original release), and I've not had any luck downgrading. Good luck in your Lollipop quest!

Don't need it now, but good to know should I have to reflash in the future. Thanks for the info. :good:
Hey there,
I got quite a serious problem. Since i updated to 5.1 my phone sometimes suddenly restarts, followed by a message which says "optimizing apps", which ranges from 30 to 150 apps. At first, it was no big problem, now it occures nearly every 10 minutes, so currently i can't really use my phone.
What i tried to do:
Factory reset, reflash 5.0 - 5.1.1 (every single image available)
The problem is still there.
Now my question, is it a Softwareproblem, which will be updated soon (should i try Android M (what about the warranty?))?
Or is it quite a serious hardwareproblem (i read somewhere that it could be because of overused RAM modules)?
I tried to use the searchengine, but i didnt find a specific thread in this subforum.
The optimising is a software issue caused by a random reboots. The reboot itself could be caused by anything though

Thank you for your quick reply. I continued reading and as it seems there are quite a number of users with the same problems as me. Although no one has gotten a solution till now. It doesn't matter if it's a Nexus 4, 5 or 6 but all the Nexusphones seem to be affected once updated to 5.1 or newer.
Unluckily sending it in to repair is not a good solution because they told me it would take 2-4 weeks which is not possible for me... How can Google not release a proper update after 5.1.1 which fixes it? Are they so focused about Android M? I still can't overcome myself to install the Android M because i fear to lose my warranty.

Dude, it's a Nexus. Warranty isn't an issue as long as you return to stock and relock before a warranty claim.
If flashing a factory image didn't fix it, either you're not wiping or formatting the cache correctly or you have a hardware issue.
Don't be so quick to blame Google when thousands of others, myself included, have taken the update without issue.

I did the factoryreset via fastboot, also i used the nexus toolkit to do a proper stock reset so i don't quite get how it could be an incorrectly done reset. So the hardware just breaks during the updateprocess?

I am usually quite quick in blaming others if there are also many people with excactly the same problem, sudden reboots with app optimization right after the update to 5.1 or 5.1.1, some even before at 5.0 or 5.0.1.
I'm going to try the Android M Update, maybe that will help.

Already done and i also reflashed the whole cache image. I hope the Android 6 Update will help solve my issues. The problem is, that i usually get really upset about little stuff like that just because i don't get why it's happening.
I updated monday evening to the Android M Preview, for now it only restarted once to, as it said, install a update (?), since then no reboot at all. It worked like a charm yesterday. I really hope the problem is fixed that way.
Just wanted to let you know if you have a same problem.
Hey, I am currently running 6.0.1 as my android version. Just asking but would it be suggested to downgrade the android version? If yes, than too which version?
Why do you want to downgrade?
The Nexus 6 came out with the 5.0, you can't go further back, even with custom roms. Actually I've head somebody trying to build KitKat for the shamu, but I don't know if he succeeded.
Also why would you like to downgrade, anyway?
Oh as far as why: I had enough with 6.0.1 freezing/slow/crashing on me. Sometimes it even freezes to the point where I cannot turn off the screen for a few minutes at times. I also have enough with the apps freezing or does not work and Chrome sometimes freezes as well.
Why not upgrading to android 7 instead of downgrading?

Why don't you try upgrading instead? Android 7.0 factory image has just been released.
Oh, has it been released? Does it causes those boot loop issues on Motorola branded phones just like it does with LG branded? And could I upgrade using the Wugs tool?

If you want to flash the factory image then go here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
You will find the factory image for 7.0 there and also the instructions on how to flash it. If you are already on stock 6.0.1, you should bee recieving an OTA update soon. But since you say you have reboots and freezes I would take a backup of what every you need onto your computer and then start of fresh from the link above. That way you won't be haunted by old bugs that might be stuck because of previous versions.

These freezing/slow/crashing issues look very unique to you. Why didn't you try a factory reset, then add your apps back one by one, and look for those that give you trouble. Also are you rooted, do you use xposed or anything that modifies the basic system? Because I'm runnin 6.0.1 myself, and never had the issues you do.
The instructions on the developer page to flash looks too confusing. Well, it jumps right into it when myself I never done it before.
Everybody on this site once knew nothing about Android. Your safest bet is to just wait for the OTA to be offered (or proactively check for it) and accept it. If you're as novice as your posts suggest, I'm guessing that you're running a pure stock device, so you won't run into any problems with the upgrade. And if you do, you know where we are...
