3 main problems with this phone

1.) Every time im in the middle of texting with someone in the stock messaging app my keyboard just starts to freeze and lag out like crazy. I thought I fixed this problem but turning off power saving mode but it only helped a little bit
2.) This is probably a well known issue with the phone but every time I get a text message my screen turns on! Its really annoying and im not sure if there is a fix for this yet but if there is please help!
3.) When I set custom vibrations for my phone every time I get a text message it still just ends up as the basic call vibration. I tried using all of the other vibrations in the phone but it always just goes back to the basic vibration when I get a text message but when I get a phone call thats when it uses the custom vibrate tone
Im not sure if anyone could help with these issues but if so please leave feed back! I really hope im not the only person with these problems so if there is a patch that these things get fixed! I love this phone and everything but these glitches are starting to get annoying.

You should try different rom... I hope it can solvr ur problem...

honestly i think that either you can reflash stock rom, or a custom rom, and btw, are you stock or are you using something like synergy or beans?

Well thats the thing im 100% stock right now. Im not rooted or anything. If I root will that fix all my problems?

SMS Popup
For the text message issue, just use SMS Popup from the play store (its way better than the stock anyway) then turn off the notifications in the settings of the stock sms and then your screen won't turn on, Hopefully that will help you. Also, you can set custom ringtones for contacts... possibly custom vibrations.

Another options is to install GoSMS from the market, think it has options for all your problems.

Is there any way to make go sms look like stock? To be honest I LOVE the stock messaging app =/ I never used go sms but ill try it out

You like the stock messaging app? Man, I hate it!
Have you considered doing a factory reset of your phone? You'll loose your data/apps but these issues really shouldn't be there. Rather than working around the freezing issues etc., I would start fresh first. Then you can experiment with alternative apps and so on...

It's super customizable make sure you go through the all the menus (eg you can change notification icon to look like stock)
There are a handful of themes you get with app including some dark ones.

Thanks Ill most deff try this out. As for the other problems with the vibration and the screen turning on are these known issues or would a factor reset most deff fix these problems?

So just as an update I tried doing a factor reset and nothing was fixed =/

well you can try the gosms app from play store... rooting and trying a stock rom like nosympathy's rooted stock can help tons, swiftkey is your best frind when it comes to typing, and custom roms like synergy or aosp roms are crazy fast (i know as i have flashed all of the roms from verizon's development forum so far,), and suggest adfree if you want to use gosms, or use synergy's 1.1 or 1.2 rom. they are lag free

Well, if you reset/wipe everything, even though you aren't rooted there are ways to get all your apps back automatically - I believe when you set up your phone it even asks if you would like to "Restore your settings" when you sign into your Google account. However... I don't really recommend it. Since you're having trouble right now, I think it would be a great idea to just WIPE it clean, and have a fresh start. See if your phone works great as it is (cause it could always be some app causing problems too..)
Installing apps is really easy - all you have to do is go to http://play.google.com (once you sign into the play store and accept the terms on your phone) and go to "My Apps", and it'll show you everything you have downloaded in the past. Anything you want to install, you can just click "INSTALL" on your computer and it'll automatically send it to your phone!!
When you have a large amount of apps to install, I find this way far easier than searching for each one on your phone

This really helped thanks! As for the entire wiping thing I find that my texting is improved as in the keyboard lags far FAR less now. I still have the same 2 problems where my vibration cannot be changed while getting notifications and my screen still turns on every time I get a text message.

If you install handcent it's very good, plus it stops that turn screen on, also just go into settings if you want disable the pop up msging too.

Your phone has a problem, since none of these are issues on mine. You probably want to wipe and start over. Or you could root your phone, install Titanium backup, and use that to backup all of your apps. Then wipe, reinstall TB, and reinstall the apps. I'm running the Synergy ROM and it's awesome.

[Q] [BUG] - Not waking up from standby and not switching off!

Hi,
I got my Moto G on the weekend (Unlocked from Tesco Mobile for £2.04, thanks ebay)
However, on one occasion, the phone would not turn the screen off until I held the power button for 10 seconds to reboot it.
But more often (a few times every day), the phone will not wake up from standby until I do the same to reboot it. This morning this alarm clock to fail, so this could be an issue.
Does anyone else have the same issue and know of a fix?
Thanks!

Whichs apps do you have installed? Are you rooted? Did you already try a factory reset?

Do the issue exist if you don't add a Google account? Have you restored old settings through Google backup?

I havent restored settings after a reboot, but i have noticed that I get reboots when I am editing google contacts on the phone....

Crappy sleep of death issue .... Seems moto g is having battery issues...

Mm not battery issues its just SW issues.
Simply fixed but will need an update.
Little tweeks like on a phone call when i move the phone away from my ear to open dialer to enter details on an automated service the screen won't come on until I press the power button twice. Once to lock and once to unlock. Then I can bring up dialler
Its due to all the little refinements in power management but it will get fixed.
I personally can live with the little niggles just now for the amazing 3.5-4 hours screen on time I'm getting.
Yest under heavy mobile data use it went a full 14 hours with the 3.5hours screen in time. It was great because I basically done all my Christmas shopping on my phone and checked store prices when out.
If its rebooting often enough I would do a fresh install and start again.
THE BIGGEST thing I found that made a difference in this phone and I think moto should highlight this is:
Do not import previous phone settings on initial start up. This somehow beings weird and wonderful phone settings over and seems to play Havoc with the overall performance of the device be it battery life or connectivity.
I ended up wiping the device in factory reset and on the section on initial set up about backup and restore I unchecked the second option of restore my device settings. Left everything else and since the phone has worked as it should.
My only issue is the power and volume keys location in my car holder means it can be powered off by the holder doh. So I'm looking for a new one which doesn't hug my buttons lol

Thanks for your help guys, I was still getting random sleeps of death and random reboots so I took the device back to tesco.
They were quick to replace it and I will let you know if I am still getting these issues.

Don't import any old settings, do it manually or you could (if you have the software) do a migrate from My Backup Pro, which I used to migrate pics, contacts, call logs & sms from my old phone with zero issues. My phone hasn't rebooted or had any issues whatsoever. I suspect you just had a faulty unit. Mine is an unlocked tesco16gb too.

rare problem

[Q] Nexus 5 Notification DRAWER wierd images

Hello intelligent people at xda
ok, so here's my problem: (see attached images)
the notification drawer on my nexus 5 is acting strangely. Its not displaying the notification (widget) as it should for any notification widget that has play, pause, stop etc. such as Play Music, Tunein, and Viral. The widget also fails to update. (If I change the track, it fails to update the name.) The controls WORK i.e. i can still pause, skip track etc. however, there is obviously some glitch/bug with this.
All other notifications that don't require "active" controls, such as gmail, hangouts etc. working normally...even if i expand it.
This problem came totally out of the blue! The only "tinkering" that ive done with my phone today is that i removed xposed framework COMPLETELY (flashed the included disabler.zip) because i missed ART (dalvic feels sluggish). After i switched to ART, i noticed this issue. So then I switch back to davic to see if it persists - and unfortunately, it does.
Plz help me (a noob). Any suggestions to what i can do to fix it?

yes if you directly flash..
no if you use titanium backup to backup your apps
and apps like super backup for messages,contacts and call logs...
your internal storage data like movies,pictures will not be wiped...
all your apps will be lost but you can backup and restore them via titanum backup...
read the Rom thread carefully before flashing if you are new to flashing roms..
please dont skip any step in rom thread

I am having facebook messenger problems

Hi everyone.
My wife has an S8 and recently she has noticed that she hasn't been receiving notification on Facebook messenger.
Me thinking it was an easy problem to solve went into the phone setting clicked on notifications and found that the notifications for the app were all on how they should be.
Then I went into the app settings and checked there and everything was right.
Then I restarted the phone and it still wouldn't work.
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still no success
I even got my phone out an S7E and checked how the settings should look on mine and hers matched my settings.
All her other apps are working except this one.
Am I missing something here, because it doesn't make any sense why it's not working. I performed a stock flash on the device about a month ago to 3 software, so she could have wifi calling but I don't see how this could of affected this one app and none of the others.
If anyone has any suggestions here I am all ears because I am out of ideas.

Make sure that it's not being forced close by the S8's onboard memory manager... sometimes it shuts down apps and you won't get notifications. Double check in the battery settings (you can get there from settings or the swipe panel) to see if the Messenger app itself is active.

Hi people, I seem to have solved the problem.
I followed the suggestion and went to the battery setting. In those setting there was an option for unmonitored and monitored apps. When checking the list of apps that were in these setting everything was right, including the messenger app in unmonitered app section. I removed it from that list and didn't bother adding it back.
Tested.........and it worked....I even got other people to message her in different situtations and it worked and still works.....not added it back in to the list yet, as long as it keeps working I prob won't

Mi Note 10 Lite, Global MIUI 11 ROM - Push notifications from Gmail Problem

That's a very frustrating one, very common 'feature' for all the Xiaomi bloatware. I thought 6 years later, they will finally fix the sync.
So basically, when the phone goes to sleep or at least I do not touch it for more than 5 minutes, the Gmail notifications do not get delivered unless I unlock the device. Sometimes even if I unlock it, the said emails do not pop up unless I open the app or manually click my Google account to sync.
Things I've done so far:
Check any sort of notification setting for the app itself and make sure I get the proper notification type. Also the app settings are all right.
Check the battery saver nonsense and make sure the app isn't limited in any way.
Check battery saver and make sure it is not restricting background usage for the app
Reinstall Gmail app using XiaomiADBFastbootTools
Remove and re-add my Google account to the device
'Locked' the Gmail app to the memory
Things I cannot do on this crippled Android version, but work for regular apps, are:
Set 'autostart' setting for Gmail. The app seems to be preinstalled and I cannot manipulate this option for it.
Your help is appreciated!

maybe you could uninstall the Gmail using XiaomiADBFastbootTools and later you install Gmail again from Google Play.

I'm having the same problem. I have to go into the app and refresh and so on.

Strange, never had such problems (with all apps) after configuring the data saver mode for the app. Gmail is working without a problem here

The problem seems to have gone away for the last 3-4 days, but I was mostly on data connection. No clue how. There were no system updates.
From time to time it gets stuck when I am on Wi Fi at home. Either never comes or is delayed a lot.
Most notably when the phone goes to sleep (more than 10 minutes of not touching it or not receiving any other notifications that might wake it up.

Have you checked the notification settings within gmail? Stock configuration is that it will only inform with important emails and not all emails. Maybe this is also part of the problem?
