My Moto G LTE reboots most nights at 8:00 sharp all by itself. Does anyone know what app might cause that? I'm trying to live with it as a feature, but it is annoying, especially if I am using the phone.
The phone is unrooted. I had hoped that the recent OTA update would fix this problem but it did not.

Can you please post some screenshots of your app drawer? Maybe I can tell you which app does this.
You can also try to:
1) clear cache from recovery
2) disable the geo location before the usual time of reboot
I appreciate the reply. How do I do screenshots uprooted? I agree that knowing the apps would help.
Is the Locale app compatible? I use it with the Google Voice plugin because I'd paid for I t with my Galaxy Nexus. I may try uninstalling it for now to see if that fixes it.

Vol down button + power button to screenshot:good: press them for about 2 sec or it doesn't work.
I decided to return to factory state and start over. No reboots for the last two nights. I'll add apps back slowly.

OK guys I am on ICS 4.2F-6B on my skyrocket, the smart stay app will not open and says the beta testing is over...any ideas how I can get this to work? Also the screen keeps flashing no front camera detected, however the front camera works when I go into the camera. Why would this be flashing on the screen?
Sorry to be such a newbie, but I guess we all have to start somewhere!
Try this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?5wokm0nh8ym9vza
Seems the guy who made smart stay has it rigged to turn off on certain dates as a beta.
He has the lite and pro versions of it on the play store now

i just got it, but for some reason, i dont think its working. It could be user error too! I followed the directions, but the screen wont turn on or off when i put my eyes in front of it or move them away. isnt it supposed to turn on when it detects your eyes and off when it doesnt?

No this one is just for when your screen timeout time runs out, if it see's two eyes looking at it then it will keep the screen on.

haha, told you it was user error! Ok, that works!! Do you know if we will get one that operates like the g3?
Any idea on how to make it stop talking? It randomly tells me I'm adjusting setting or going back to the home screen. I believe it is this app doing it because the phones never done it before.
the app hasn't talked to me at all! It must be another app that is talking to you. that's weird though!

Did you get a different version of the app with a hidden talking feature? 'Cause then, I want a refund.
Most likely it's your voice app or Talkback from your Settings >> Accessibility.
This application is over. The lite version is free to test over the market. But it doesn't work with low light. The best application for me is Sceeble and it's also free on Play Store. It works with the sensor.

is "SCEEBLE" that you suggested spelled right, because i can't find it on the Play Store.
It's SCREEBL without E at the end of the word. Download from the market it works perfectly and it's free.

I've been having a few problems lately. Ever since the 4.3 update, my power button is REALLY sensitive. I can barely tap it and it will bring up the power menu. Sometimes hitting the power button doesn't work. I don't think it is a hardware problem as I've disassembled the s3 and the logic board and power switch are fine.
Part two:
I thought this and the battery drain/charging issues I've been having may have been due to a bad OTA so I attempted to boot to download and reflash the rom with ODIN.
Herein lies the problem. When I boot to download mode (which is almost impossible because of the power button problems) it will sit there for a moment then reboot. To clarify, I can get into download mode where it tells me how many times I've tripped the flash counter, etc. After that it reboots. Also when it does reboot, sometimes it loops, again I assume this is due to the power button issues.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download "rebooter" from the market (red circle icon), open this app and it give you an option to boot to bootloader/recovery, see if you phone still reboot without touching your power button.

OK, then you should call Verizon and get another one. I think something is wrong with your hardware. Sorry.
I just had the same problem, then the next day it stopped working altogether. I just paid, yesterday as a matter a fact, 30 bucks to have my power button replaced. So far, so go! Just find a reputable cell phone repair company in your area.

I know what your talking about and it's only happened to me after updating to 4.3 OTA.
The power/phone options menu I'm talking about is the power button long press.
Well, this comes up without touching the button. It's like it's some kind of static, because it'll do it several times in a row while randomly shutting off the screen, etc.
Very frustrating.

It might not be a 4.3 problem but a physical problem. This is a extreme case but your phones might be on there way. If you are having the same problem as this thread the fix should work for you.

My wife's Ultra has developed an issue where the phone powers down whenever the screen is turned off. This happens whether the screen is put into standby with the power button or is allowed to turn off automatically.
Just tried a factory reset today with no joy.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Today, i had the same issue on Droid Ultra, running KitKat. I think it's because battery state issue - before i rebooted, battery showed 19%, but after power on issue, i go into bootloader and power off the device and plugged in charger. Charging battery on screen showed me 0%.
PS: i used exposed feature for better battery stat. Maybe issue was because of it.
PPS: did you root her phone and clean from bloatware? Add some tweaks? My Droid currently charging, and i'd like to hcarge it up to 100% then try to power it on.
Her phone is unrooted and stock kit kat. We've eliminated the battery and any third party apps as the cause. It seems like a hardware issue but the power button works fine for all other functions.
Also figured out that the phone doesn't power off immediately after the screen goes off. Still baffled.

Yes I literally just got this today after trying to fix the Call Standby battery issue, it's ridiculous. This battery life bug is monstrous and the fact this app doesn't open to fix it is driving me crazy. Honestly been so frustrated today over these 2 things haha. If you or anyone has a fix for this, do please reply to my post in this thread so I'll be notified.
Reset the date on the phone.
from what i've gathered from the material theme the beta has expired and in order to use it you have to change the date on your phone to a past date for it to work
ty guys for this. i thought we was screwed. kinda sucks i gotta change date but glad its still working. once again ty for ur quick answers

The update broke the ability to flash zips now. He is aware of the issue, it has something to do with a MD5 check he added to the update and 64 bit systems.
What exact fix are you trying to flash?
The so called fix itself isn't a flash. I'm assuming he wanted to do a fresh install.
Nothing has fixed the drain for me.

Did you apply a theme or something? Try going into settings and applications then default applications and make sure under "Home screen" it says TouchWiz home or whatever launcher you're using after that go to themes and make sure the theme you want is set. Have you used the debloater app?

touchwiz is set to default, and debloater was used but not on any samsung apps..just mainly hangout, verizon apps and instagram
I'm having the same issue. Never disabled anything except Verizon apps and amazing stuff. I even went so far as to uninstall all my themes and apply stock and reboot still showing elements of a couple different themes. I never reset before or after update so I'm thinking that might do it, but I've been avoiding it cuz I don't kmow how much I can backup and restore. Things such as SMS and WiFi passwords.

If it's still not working and you're planning to do a restore you can create a backup within the phone itself by going into settings and tap backup and reset and set an account to backup to and then wait for a little bit so it can send the backup to your account after that just press and hold the volume up button and power button at the same time until the phone shuts down and it should give you the option to factory reset.
I just did it the other day and it remembered all my apps and passwords for the WiFi.

That was happening to me all week last week forcing me to reboot the phone I even took the sim card out and made sure there was no dirt or anything on it but even that didn't help so I had Verizon put a new one in and it hasn't done it again yet.
At this point I kinda wish I could swap it out for a nexus 6 or something.
