Reset itself overnight - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Without doing anything myself, my Moto X 2014 has almost reset itself whilst I was asleep.
The first warning was no notifications, there's always an email or two, but then it wouldn't let me pull the quick settings down either. The phone wasnt using Smart Lock, in fact most system settings were reset. I figured something might be wrong with xposed (however, it's been running for months with no change, no updates to Android, xposed framework, or modules) so I updated all the modules and rebooted, still nothing. For some reason I went and switched to guest account, then switched back to my account and I'm now able to see notifications I missed and use phone almost normally. But my settings had reset and after setting swiftkey back up I see "Predictions not available. Check SD card." so typing is a pain.
My home button isn't working either, it flashes but doesn't do anything. The back and multitasking buttons work. Holding home button brings up Google Now on Tap, but it doesn't take me to home screen.
What could have happened? Is my storage knackered? Its not near full. Just to be clear, all my apps remained installed and logged in as far as I can tell. Only SwiftKey and the Home buttons remain as a problem.
Edit: Bluetooth devices also reset, wasn't connected to car stereo.
Edit 2: reinstalled swiftkey and predictions came back. Rebooted and they went again! Home button still not working.
Edit 3: Installed CatLog and when I press home it says: Not starting activity because user setup is in progress. So it thinks I'm trying to do first time setup? My accounts are already there (one of the settings that did remain).
Edit4: Ran
Code:
am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
as root (use su command) in terminal emulator and managed to complete setup... Home button works now and SwiftKey predictions seem to be working after a few reboots.
I hope that never happens again.

App update just disabled my phone??

I have an AT&T S5 running stock recovery with towelroot. Phone has been fine today, had 4 apps that required additional permissions for updates today so I ran them. I recall 2 were USAA and Tasker. Also FingerSecurity just got an update prior. After I accepted the additional permissions, I turned the screen off. I then heard it make the lock sound 3 times while the screen was off.
Currently I can turn the screen on or off, however the lock screen never comes up, just the home screen. Everything on the screen is unresponsive and the taskbar is gone. I've rebooted, wiped cache in recovery, it comes up the same way, bypassing the lock screen even though I have it secured with fingerprint. On the 3rd or 4th reboot, I did get a dialog saying systemui crashed. It keeps shifting the icons slightly like it's trying to add the taskbar but they shift about 10 times before finally stopping with no taskbar.
When I long press the power button, I have to be quick otherwise the dialog will disappear.
Is there anything I can do besides a factory reset?

Process crashed, information gone, features not working

So, I'm using the 64 GB ballistic nylon droid turbo. About half an hour ago, all of my open programs crashed, as well as some process running on the phone. I tried opening several again, and they wouldn't open, so I rebooted my phone.
All of my information was gone, including my personalized settings and my contacts and conversations. The home button no longer works; it vibrates when I press it, but nothing happens. I no longer receive notifications. The icon in the top right of the drop-down notifcation menu no longer responds. Except on startup, the phone no longer asks for my security input, even after i changed the settings.
I have no idea how to fix this, and apparently customer service is not open on weekends. Some help ould be appreciated.
Sorry to hear this.... It sounds like you lost a lot on the phone already. Are you able to get to the settings and just to a factory reset??
same problem

Periodic blank desktop

I am having an issue with my rooted, unlocked phone on 5.1.1. Every once in a while when in an app and pressing the home button to go back to the desktop I will instead get a blank screen. The navigation buttons are visible and respond when pressed (a gray background shows briefly when pressed) but don't do anything. I can pull down the notification shade but nothing happens when I press a notification. I can press the setting button but again nothing happens. This happened once while I was playing music and the music continued to play. I have to turn the phone off and then back on again to get it to work again. I thought it might be a Nova launcher problem so I went back to the default Google launcher but it still happens. As a last resort I reloaded the factory image, re-rooted and cleared all ther data to start from scratch but it is still happening. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas what is causing this? It is driving me crazy.
Thanks,
John

It happens on my N6 a few times. Mostly when I had changed something.
For instance changing a language textfile of the nav.app Sygic. Or after adding custom Poi's.
Reboot solves the problem.
My idea is that it is related to caching or memory management.
Root N6, 5.1.1 LMY48i, FK r31, encrypted.
Disabled most g-apps;

SOLVED! Kinda unusable device.

So, I was yesterday using my phone and everything was OK. This day, I charged my phone because it was dead and couple mins later I turned it on. I unlocked it, everything looked OK, but I discovered some weird things. My recent apps and home buttons aren't working. When I press recent apps button it lits up but it doesn't do anything. Back button works. Then I saw that there are no notifications in the status bar(I have Kaspersky antivirus so there had to be its notification). And then when I swiped down to check notifications, I tried pressing settings, date and show more buttons, they didn't work either. I pressed power button to restart and in that box airplane and emergency modes buttons are not there. Plus, when I close my S View thing, there's no ...(more) and camera buttons.
Yesterday, I was looking at activities(using Nova launcher and adding a widget for activity) and tried couple, so I think I made something there bad.
My phone is G800F running Stock 4.4.2 without root. No viruses on my device.

This question is solved by myself.
I solved it!
What I did was I went to the Nova Launcher settings and then I changed default launcher to Touchwiz. After it turned on, I got everything that wasn't working now working!

Can't reboot from "WebOS restore" mode

I accidentally booted my HP Touchpad to the moboot USB connection mode, but I can't reboot or even power off from there.
I installed CM about 10 years ago... I don't remember what version: CM9 or what. I do know that WebOS remains on the system for dual boot. I haven't booted the device for years. I powered it up this morning, booted to CM, and tried to run the Google Play Store. My Google password has been changed since last used on this device. I entered my current PW to log in, but it insists that it is the wrong password even though I know it is correct. I rebooted but then, as I said, accidentally selected the WebOS restore item.
I connected to my PC, and it beeps like it detects the connection, but there it does not list the device in File Explorer or in the System Tray.
All that I related may not have caused the inability to reboot or power off from the USB connection, but better too much into than not enough, right?
I'm hoping it is something simple. It has been so long since I went through the procedure to install CM or even use the device, I may be missing a simple trick. I hope.
The problem solved itself. Since I could not turn off the device, the battery eventually ran down. I charged it and booted OK. Turns out it is Android version 4.0.4. That is CM9, I think.
For the record, is there no way to get out of the USB connection mode if needed? If not, that seems kinda flakey to me.
I am still having the problem logging on the Play Store. I was able to update my password for Android on this Touchpad, but when I attempt to start Play Store, it prompts for my password again, but does not accept it. Says not the right password.
I think I may, some day soon, replace CM9 with a later version. I hope that will solve the Play Store problem.
The Tablet can be " hard reset" or force reboot, just like any other device.
If The Tablet is not responsive in any Operating System or Recovery just reset it by:
Hold at the same time the following 3 keys:
Power Key + Volume Key ( closer to Home button ) and The Home button.
Hold until the Tablet turns off and then it will power on.
