Usually I put my phone into aeroplane mode before I go to sleep, but last night I fell asleep before doing that.
When I woke up this morning and picked up my phone, all of the widgets were gone from my home screens apart from Google Newsstand. My wallpaper had reset back to the default Nexus 5 wallpaper. I use Apex Launcher, so at first I thought that maybe the phone had switched back to the default launcher somehow, which would explain the empty home screens but that wasn't the case - I was still in Apex. When I went into Settings, under Accounts there was nothing listed apart from my main Google account. eBay, SoundCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox etc. were all gone.
I rebooted the phone, hoping that that would somehow fix things, but it started up in Safe Mode and of course, everything was still missing. I turned it off again and turned it back on and this time it booted into normal mode, but it was still messed up. I ended up doing a factory reset and reinstalling everything.
Any idea what might have caused this?

OK, so, i know the topic sounds confusing. But my wife's mytouch 4g's battery died the other day. so, we charge it up then turn it on only to find out that every widget, every app, etc is gone from the screen. all that is left is the live wallpaper. apps and everything are still on the phone but all the links to the apps and various widgets are gone. just blank live wall paper screens. so, she manually puts everything back like it used to be, rebooted the phone and now everything is gone again. WTF? anyone know why it is doing this and how to make it not happen? she is against installing any custom ROMs (i'm working on bringing her to the dark side of android). thanks for the help.

The first thing you should try before you do anything else is a factory reset. This sounds like a pretty weird software bug. If it continues, call T-mobile and have them send a replacement.
Is this her first Android? Is she restoring data and settings from another phone through the use of MyBackUp or similar programs? Sometimes using these programs to restore data can cause strange behavior like this, especially if that data is coming from a different device.
On first boot after the factory reset let the phone sit for a solid 5 minutes before setting up. There is first boot "thinking" going on...
EDIT - if you lucked out and got the "good" screen and don't want to warranty replace it you could always root and use the stock nandroid restore found somewhere in the mytouch 4g development section. I'm fairly certain that a factory reset will solve your problems though.
that happen to me.... power the handheld down and let it sit a good few minutes and then boot it back up... all the homes screens should be back to normal.
idk whats up maybe its a bad batch of MyTouchs T-mo recently recieved but i had to send mine back as it kept rebooting itself multiple times a day
Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem
The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.
Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.
Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality
OK, so tonight I decided to install the Atrix 2 Blaze mod. It installed without any issues.
After installing and verifying that everything worked, I then decided to use Titanium Backup to batch restore my apps. This appeared to work, and at the end of the process it told me to reboot. So I did.
Once it booted back up, I was greeted with the lock screen, as you'd expect -- but when I unlocked the phone, all I saw was a black screen and the notification bar on top. No wallpaper, no icons, no widgets, nothing. I could open the task drawer, I could make the soft keyboard appear, I could bring up the "open apps" window... but I can't actually do anything because the screen is freaking black.
But because the notification bar works, I can tell there are things going on. I see my phone checking for email. I see my phone battery decreasing. I see notifications when my google+ or twitter apps detect people are replying to threads I've been on. In other words, the phone appears to be working in every way except that there's nothing on the screen for me to interact with.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a way to fix it? I hope?
Your best bet is probably just to flash the 2.3.5 Stock FXZ and start from scratch.

try re-flashing ?
looks like you loose your home launcher ..
I had the EXACT same problem, everything below the notifications bar was blacked out, i could bring up recent apps, but i couldn't even bring up the emergency dial pad at the unlock screen. Only difference is mine happened when i froze Go Launcher using Titanium Backup. I could tell it was still trying to run Go Launcher coz i could auto-rotate the screen.Sadly, the only option i had was to reset the phone and loose everything. I couldnt even backup my files coz i set USB mode to charge only so it never popped up on PC.
I reckon you restored an app that has a missing component/data and so it crashes at startup, maybe a home launcher, locker etc. Try making a backup then resetting your phone
Same problem here Ill try the fxy method,
any of you had solve the problem?
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

I,
Sorry for broken english
Has the dame problème , i called Motorola and they Say to return it to your cellshop to get new one, very rare hardware deffect,no problem since new phone
Anyone else have this issue before. Today I restarted my phone after uninstalling package disabled and phone came back with most of the setting reset. Like all my Google keyboards turned off. My AOD turned on. Etc
I literally had to change almost all setting. It also lost the theme so I had to re-theme it. What's crazy is it even changed my icon layout to a layout that I had a night before.
I can't think of anything that could have made drastic other than the theme. Possible that the theme crashed and it reverted all settings but this is really weird and annoying.
This just happened to me. Now I can't re-active my Samsung Pass. I put my password in and then it fails when I try to register my iris or fingerprint. (Can't recognize fingerprint. Try again later.)
I've tried everything under the sun to fix it except a factory reset.
I just had this happen on my S8. Any developments since you noticed this?
