I know i havent updated to the latest in a while. but the past 3-4 roms i used before this one were just as bad. the phone is slow as dirt. lags all the time. battery has gotten bad but i think thats because it needs to be replaced. I just feel like overall the phone is 10x slower than it was when i bought it and the first year i had it. I havent tried to do anything with it in a while because ive been so turned off by it and frustrated. I havent been keeping up with this phone like others ive had in the past so if someone has suggestions or need more info to make a good guess, im all ears. basic things are opening apps, pulling up the keyboard, typing. this goes for the stock keyboard and swiftkey. opening notifications. just navigating through apps. - nothing that points to just one thing being the issue.
I have reflashed this rom and tried factory resets, both seem to be very temporary fixes. I dont feel like i have a lot of apps and definitely nothing questionable. im debating on throwing it off a bridge and ordering a nexus 6P. or even worse, an iphone... thats how bad its gotten

i "froze" these in titanium backup
I am in the exact same boat, down to considering an iphone. I'm in the process of trying a factory reset.
It's hard to say, could be a hardware issue, could be a screwed up FW, or something really simple, I have none of these issues so I can't recommend a solution.

I'm having the same problem. This phone's performance is so bad, that i've resorted to using my work S4, which I installed CM13 on. It runs circles around my S5.

Lets just say I miss using it when I'm back on WinMo. It's really amazing how fast the improvements are.
Making phone calls and sending txts, browsing the web on 3G or wifi, downloading Android Apps. I love it. I can use it for a couple of hours without having a single crash.
Still issues with the screen lock crashing and the battery drain, but that will be fixed soon like everything else.

i was confused on the same stuff, because from past several months people are trying to run android on almost all WM phones, but they couldn't succeed fully. So i thought instead of waiting more, why not buy an android phone,

This just started happening on my phone...there is a portion of the screen (near where the predictive words would appear) where the sensors do not recognize my touch (see below):

In the above screenshot, I scrolled from bottom of the screen all the way to the top, but notice the gap in the middle.
Do you think the sensor is damaged or is it something else? I.e., do youthink it's a hardware issue or a software one ?

I'm guessing you already tried reflashing your/another ROM...
Good luck mate, that looks nasty
It seems the rom/kernel combination I was using wasn't good. It's back to normal with a different kernel.
CORRECTION:
No, it's not back to normal. Now I'm fairly convinced that it's a hardware problem. I don't know why or how, but the problem is back.
Maybe the touch sensor is sometimes working and sometimes not. It's strange though that it's always only at that section and no where else. Maybe the problem is only localized to that particular area.

At the worst case it might be your digitizer.
Revert back to stock through nvflash and test it again. If the issue is still present and its till under warranty, send the bad boy back.
Or alternatively, you can replace the digitizer yourself. Hope all goes well man

Thanks LarsPT & Supupa for your replies and kind wishes.
Unfortunately, it is conclusively a hardware issue since going back to stock or any other rom didn't make things any better.
And I'm out of luck and have no warranty on this (since I got it second hand).
I guess I'll just have to pray that it will last me a few more weeks until the SGS3 comes out here in the States.
Thanks.
You can fix it yourself?
The digitizer is only like $50 not original but it will last for ever. If you do, get one with the frame. It will make life so much easier.
Secondly its quite easy to replace, no soldering just screws and un clipping things.
I did mine myself, very simple. Good luck bud

Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a try.
By the way, I love the Android comment in your signature. So true.
So since the update to 4.4.2 on Verizon with the new battery life update, my battery lasts about 6 hours, and also I keep losing my softkeys, have to keep rebooting to get them back. Just curios if anyone else is having this problem??, I emailed motorola today and they saiid that no one else is having this problem. and told me to try turning my phone off and back on and see if that helps. Does anyone think that smashing my phone and filing an insurance claim to go back to 4.4 a good Idea?
Yes, insurance fraud is a great idea! By the way, no such issues on my VZW Dev Edition. Same ROM, just with an unlockable bootloader.

Insurance fraud is illegal. And I'm betting you haven't even tied a factory reset.

I have not had the issue with the softkeys... but I have had horrible battery life! 5.5 hours today and I was from 100% to 0%. My phone always feels very hot. In my pocket it feels like I have handwarmers. It's not like I played a game at all today for more than 5 minutes, or talked on the phone for a long time. It was less than average usage and horrible battery life.
Getting fantastic battery here. Stock 4.4.2 unrooted

Load gsam to try to figure out what is eating your battery. I had a similar issue after 4.4.2 upgrade, discovered that wifi was really running hard (turned it off, also found a box down in settings to turn off where apps can use wifi even with wifi off). I also found my email account was eating my battery. I killed my account and loaded k-9 email. Now battery is fantastic.
My battery is getting drained pretty rapidly. I'll try shutting off Wi-Fi whenever I'm not near a hotspot and see if that fixes things.

No issues here following update, backup your stuff and factory reset the phone.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I had the same issue with my battery the day after my 4.4.2 update. I contacted Motorola and they asked me to clear the cache partition. I did this to make them happy but I actually fixed my issue. Hopefully it works for you too.
So i had already already done the wipe and factory reset. The only thing that fixed this was the clearing of the cache as far as the battery life. Also I found that the loss of the soft keys was from after use of team viewer and clash of clans apps after I hit the home button to get out. When I closed the app on exit I haven't had anymore problems losing the soft keys. This ones was more of my own stupidity. Ha thanks for the help

Out of curiosity, to the peeps posting pics of their battery status; what was your screen time?
OK so i have been a crack flasher since release day of ICS. But i am to the point the only reason i really need root was restoring apps with TiBu. I was excited to hear about Marshmellow having an opt out data restore process. However i have never gotten it to work. Literally no app has its data restored. It basically installed the apps and it did remember my stock launcher layout.
Can anyone shed any light on what is going on?
I had 1 app restore data, and that was instagram, others didn't

After reading this http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/android-6-0-marshmallow-thoroughly-reviewed/6/
I understand how it works a little better. As i am completely stock and have manually configured some apps i do have some app data in the google drive/settings/manage backup. However still not everything. Which means once again if it doesn't get what i want i am having to root and use TiBu.
It appears to be quite an incomplete list.

Not sure what to tell you. While they made this sound like a perfect solution it is just as hacky as everything else they provided so far.
I wonder if its an API level thing on the apps that are not showing up?
Yes it is odd. as when I had to do a wipe and restore on the M preview more if not all of my apps had their settings restored. Moving to the official version with a clean flash and I got the same thing, just instagram restored.
Just reading more about it.
http://developer.android.com/training/backup/autosyncapi.html
I do not have an answer at this point why less then a quarter my apps are showing up in the Google Drives Managed backups.
Can anyone else shed some light?

Hi, I have an ROG Phone II on Android 10 version 17.0240.2108.103, and a lot of my apps have blurry icons when I'm inside the apps for no apparent reason, almost like it's loading the wrong DPI for the icons. Snapchat, YouTube, Google maps, Facebook, Messenger, TikTok, and my Asus router app are all effected in some capacity. I attached screenshots of the apps I've noticed the issue in so far.. any ideas would be helpful. Deleting the apps and reinstalling them doesn't help

That's what my plan was, but I still don't have any OTA notification over a month after release.
I haven't looked much into updating manually, but it seems more complex than I'd like.
I'll be going for any other brand the next time I need a phone. This poor software support really sucks. I sent an inquiry about the headphone jack not functioning on the fan accessory when using the gamepad attachment, and never got anything useful back out of it.
My first Android phone was an Essential PH-1 and getting updates the same time as Pixel devices really spoiled me. Security updates were always current, as well. Much better experience overall, on a much more limited device.

Update: I dropped the . ZIP OTA file into root, and it fixed all the issues I was having.
It also removed a gesture I liked having to get to the app tray. "innovation" they call it.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it! At least the icons look better now
