Hello i have a Moto G6 that i brought from ebay for $30 originally $50 because i wasn't told it was google locked so i bypass it and made him give me a discount. It's in flawless condition but it freezes which is why i brought it thinking of just flashing back a rom for a easy fix but the phone never stop freezing. I flashed pie which most people complain was causing the freezing but it actually froze less than when it was on oreo which is weird. I than unlock the bootloader flash back pie after flashing multiple oreo/pie revisions without any luck. Also i install the nova launcher which help just like lineage but eventually it will freeze/bootloop. When i flashed pie i flashed lineage os 16 which did help but the phone still freezes. Since i really need a reliable phone coming from a Z2 play with proximity sensor issues but i can't say it wasn't reliable or not very strong. I got a broken Moto G6 with a crack screen but the device still works and doesn't freeze or bootloop yet so i am going to take the board and put it on my like new Moto G6. I just want a tip that will prevent the device to start freezing or bootlooping in the future. I am thinking flashing pie than flashing lineage os 16 for the long run just like i did with the old board because from my understanding leaving the phone stock on oreo or pie eventually it will cause it to freeze/bootloop and even though you do a factory reset or flash a stock rom it seems like stock firmware over time does permanent damage to the board in some way. That is just my theory, a crazy one but after reading all of this i might be on to something
I have a G6 (XT1925-6) on the latest stock rom (pie). It never freezes or bootloops on me. It runs for weeks at a time without issue.
I suspect you do have a bad board, but I suppose you could maybe try flashing the latest stock rom and see if anything changes.
I can confirm that there are no issues.
Guys,
try to install Chrome Beta and use it as default WebView provider (settings in Developer Options).
For me was a silver bullet: stopped a lot of force closing and random boots.
Good luck!

I got my Moto X in October 2014, and at the time I thought it was the best phone ever. It did everything perfectly, no issues with the car bluetooth, hands-free, etc. Just great all the time.
In November, the Lollipop update came, and since then, it's been non-stop issues. I know there are memory leaks and people report problems, but just wondering if it's this bad for everyone. By the way, I did a factory reset a couple of months ago, but didn't see much improvement.
Here's a list of things that came with the Lollipop update.
A few times per day, I get this message: "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped". It happens with all sorts of apps. After that, I can't tell what is actually broken, if anything.
Sometimes (maybe once every two weeks) when the phone rings, I get the vibration/ringer, but I can't actually answer it until I unlock the phone.
Not all apps sync to my Moto 360, even after doing a "resync". This could of course be an issue with the 360.
Also on the 360, sometimes notifications just stop, but the "Offline" indicator isn't present.
Google Play Music and Pocket Casts are especially problematic.
Lag. Just starting an application, there is always that half-second delay.
So my questions...
1. Is it possible to revert to KitKat? I haven't seen ROM images available. I used adb plenty of times with my HTC One, but the phone was rooted and had a custom recovery, so I felt safer doing it.
2. Is there any info on when 5.1 (or 5.0x) will become available for the Verizon model?
3. Do you think Verizon would take the phone back, just based on my general complaint that the phone has been essentially broken for 5 out of the 6 months I've had it?
Thanks for any help.
You can't go back to kit kat because the bootloader has been updated. You could try a warranty and tell them all the problems, I doubt they would exchange because that's only the first 15 days, after that warranty replacement. You could flash an unbranded stock ROM, don't need to unlock bootloader . or say goodbye to warranty and flash custom ROMs. I am running eclipse on my moto x 2013. It has all stock features
Hi Everyone
Bit of help please.
Having problems over the last 20 days or so. The phone keeps powering down completely at random.
I had flashed No Root Stock Debloated/Deodexed N6 ViPER|Atmos Audiophile 1.6 and after a week the above started.
Fully wiped (including data) the N6 and re-installed from a OTG USB through TWRP. After a week the same random shut-downs began again.
Another full wipe and installed ver 1.7 from the above and within a couple of days the shutdowns started again.
Today thought a different ROM may be the answer. Full wipe and tried [MMB29U/Q][6.0.1][STOCK][OMNI][MOKEE][CMTE][LAYERS] FLUENCE HD9 and the shut-downs are still here.
Seems to be getting worse.
Not using layers or anything abnormal - nova launcher and popular apps, nothing strange. No Kernel optimizations.
Really stumped as to what I have done. Wondering if I have a HW fault rather than custom rom or apps. Going to un-root, lock the BL and give Google stock image a go, unless anyone has a suggestion.
TIA
Any water damage that you can think of? Any parts of the phone getting extremely hot?
You could try ordering a new battery, and see if that fixes the issue, as it is not a software issue.
I'm also having a similar issue, but it occurs when trying to open camera and having relatively low charges(%20). I could not pinpoint my issue exactly but generally complete shutdowns caused by battery problems(temperature, voltage, mis-feedback). Like flyeyes says it is probably a defected battery unit.
Grab some logcats or a crash message. Without them the only thing I can advise is that it is one of your apps causing it or a hardware issue.
Have you tried complete stock firmware from Google with no customizations? If so, does it happen then? If it happens on complete stock from Google you might be looking at a hardware issue. If it only happens on custom ROMS after you set them up, then it might be an inconsistency with whatever apps/changes you make to it.
Hello guys.
I own an xt1800, and pretty happy with it.
It came out of the box with Android 7.1, and got updated to 8.1 via ota sometida months ago.
What I'm noticing is that the phone gets sluggish after 100+ hours of be powered on, this did not happen in 7.1
If I restart the phone everything goes back to normal, so it's something related to the os.
What do I mean by sluggish? For example if you open chrome, it can be unresponsive for some seconds and then comes to life. If you are loading a webpage and scrolling, it can freeze for a few seconds and then continue working...
This is not exclusive of chrome, other apps suffer from this as well (such as Gboard)
Many security patches had been applied since the 8.1 upgrade, but none of them fixed the issue.
The upgrade was done via OTA.
Have you experienced something like this?
I used to have a Moto X 1st Gen, and the stock/original firmware (4.2.2) was the best version of the phone. It got updated to 4.4, 4.4.4 and 5.1 but they all had some issues the 4.2.2 didn't.
I'm wondering if you are not supposed to upgrade a Motorola phone, since I'm experiencing something like that with this phone as well.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
I have an Motorola G6 Play XT1922-3 and after the Pie update the screen becomes randomly unresponsive, every 3-5 minutes or so. Locking and unlocking the phone fixes the issue but it's really annoying, especially if you have some kind of security on the lock screen; also I don't think is a hardware issue since only this method works, nothing 'physical' works (like slaps, bumps, etc. :laugh: ).
Do you know some kind of fixes for this?
When my Moto G6 got the first Pie update it was laggy. All over the place random laggy. The fix that was suggested (and it worked) was to reflash the phone with the RSD lite tool and the same OTA rom from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETUS/. Note make sure you grab the correct rom from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ and the correct channel for you specific device.

I've been struggling with the same issues as the first poster - random screen freeze until the phone is locked and unlocked which I also think is some sort of software issue since updating to Pie. Has anyone managed to find a fix for this at all?

A friend of mine had his G6 lagging a lot, factory reset did the trick for him.
I and currently using Descendant 3, but in my experience it has other issues, so, I would suggest the factory reset, or rooting stock Pie, if you are into that sort of thing.
I have been running LineageOS+MicroG on my last 3 phones but am mostly a novice. LineageOS just packages things well enough that getting it installed is pretty easy. Most recently, I updated to 17.1 on my Payton device, and voila, I've got a problem where the phone reboots after powering on. Happens much faster with the radios on, much slower with safe mode and airplane mode on. So the obvious answer is usually "flash back to stock and try again". Here come my questions... Please keep in mind I also run Linux.
1. When people talk about going back to stock, doesn't this always entail losing your data? How do those of you who use your phone as a daily driver manage this? I've not heard great things about doing TWRP backups, and the amount of configuration I have to do at new-install time is crazy.
2. While running LineageOS or other such custom ROMs... How do you get "hardware updates": upgrades to things like modem/radio firmware that are outside the realm of the OS (if there is such a thing). I've had a few problems (including the current one) that I _suspect_ are related to running old "firmware" as I would normally call it. The solutions that I _think_ I've seen for this look like they are Windows-specific and also require going back to stock or losing your data. It's puzzling to me why updating hardware would require going back to stock, unless you need to let the stock OTA updates install in order to actually GET that firmware.
1) To my knowledge and at least for me, 'we' are using Android 9 firmware with Android 10 OS. I do not expect any further firmware updates.
2) I've been told that LOS is running slower on X4 compared to other ROMs such as Pixel Experience, but I can't speak for either as I use HAVOC. I can't speak for the rebooting issue though, I haven't looked at the X4 LOS thread much.
*3) LOS to my knowledge woln't work with MicroG because it doesn't allow for spoofing. HAVOC does, and personally I was using Android 9 w/ HAVOC and MicroG so I could use the GCam but due to personal reasons I had to install GPlay and so at the same time I also upgraded to Android 10. One point at least in my experience, the phone was getting more and more difficult to use over time but rebooting the phone fixed it completely. I almost never rebooted my phone back on 9 so it caught me off guard personally.
It sounds like you might be trying to go down a more privacy centered phone like I was until recently. Personally, I liked the Android 9 w/ HAVOC and MicroG. I can give you my list of apps I used but you probably know most of them (Simple Mobile Tools, OSMAND, K9, Fennec, NewPipe, VLC ect.) The launcher would get a little buggy (context menus would stop working after a while on app icons) and for some reason the audio would start for a split second, pause, for a sec, then continue. Other than that, it was great. I used that config setup for a year.
On a completely unrelated note, AT&T will most likely not work with the unlocked X4 after a couple of years, doesn't affect me but just a heads up.
