Recently I've been having issues with Skype/Whatsapp. Sometimes I have to open the app to see that I have messages. Usually the phone would vibrate and the LED light would flash to indicate that I have a message.
Sometimes it works fine. Other times I have to actually open the app and then the messages will come through.
I had a message come up once on the screen after I had unlocked it and it said something like "Skype, Whatsapp and Yahoo inhibited". I could not really read it as it flashed up very quickly.
Can anyone help with this or has anyone else experinced these issues?
I am running stock Android 4.4.4 and using the Go Launcher.
Does this happen on both mobile and wifi?
Do you have apps like greenify installed?

Yes. It happens on both mobile and wifi and I do have greenify installed on my phone.
So check if maybe greenify hibernates all the apps you mentioned...
Both those apps were being hibernated by greenify. I've taken them out and they seem to be working now.
Thanks for your help.
Good to know!
So hit THANKS and mark the problem as solved...
Will do

Hi guys,
I have this weird problem with my phone. I have issues with a certain "auto-back" problem with apps like whatsapp, facebook app, handcent SMS.The problem occurs when i launch the app, facebook for example. Then i tap on "Updates" and it goes to "Updates" for awhile and the app moves back as if i press on the "back" button onto the previous page.
The same happens for whatsapp and handcent. However, these problems occurs randomly thus sometimes i haf to launch the app a few times before it actually runs without auto-backing itself out. The problem only occurs on these 3 apps. sometimes CHOMP sms too.
Anyone has similar issues? I am currently on Starhub firmware with JIT and apps2sd enabled. I am overclocking and also running SetCPU. but it seems to running without OC and SetCPU dun really help. The same issues also plagues the phone on the US CBW ROM.
I would appreciate any help from anyone.
It happens to me also but in Facebook only. No problem with Handcent. Not sure about Chomp coz i never use it. I thought it's just a bug in Facebook app

I've seen some people having trouble with the "Mediaserver" sucking up their battery on the Moto g. I found out what is is, but I don't know how to fix it.
It's caused by a wakelock called "qcamera2factory" and it always starts when I use Snapchat, an app most of you guys should know and probably use. So the "qcamera2factory" starts every time I open Snapchat for the first time after forcing to "kill" Media Server with an app called "Mediaserver killer" and if I don't kill it that way, it just keeps on adding time to the "keep wake" on the battery screen.
It sucks that I can't use Snapchat and I really want a fix for it. Can someone on here help me with this?
Thanks in advance, I would really apreciate it!
fyi: I don't have snapchat but the last 2 days I had the same wakelock from qcamera2factory, solved by clearing data on media storage, force stopping camera and gallery and a reboot, since I don't have root atm.

What do you mean by clearing data and forece stopping gallery? Thanks for your reply
settings/applications/all, search for the names I mentioned, and click on them and you will see the 'clear data' and 'force close' buttons

It's not caused by Snapchat, it just appears sometimes when you use the camera. I had this wakelock twice and in both cases I was just making photos, I don't have Snapchat installed.
Happened to me with Focal (beta) camera, and skype. Seems to be something buggy with camera apps
Had this wakelock as well. Turned out to be Skype. Uninstalled and everything Is good.
Who'da thunk a Microsoft app would degrade the performance of an Android phone?

Has anybody tried the xposed framework? Phone is rooted and I want to use the "keep notifications" feature which requires xposed. I have read the xposed threads and it seems like its very unstable n had loads of bugs and can also almost brick the phone. Has any body tried greenify with xposed? Has anybody installed xposed successfully on moto g?Are there any problems on moto g due to xposed?
Thanks guys for the help. I did install and activate it and rebooted. I activated the greenify module and rebooted again. Then I turned on the "keep notiifcations" feature in greenify and rebooted yet again. Now another problem quietly bombarded upon my face. I am simply not getting any notification for the hibernated apps. For example, let's take the Facebook's messenger app. It is hibernated. I asked my friend to send me a message just to see if I got any notification. I simply didn't. Any solutions to this?
Noo... nothing like that u cn use....i m using it...also have more modules too..nvr had any problm.

Xposed gets unstable if you use lots of modules and especially some exotic ones.Otherwise you wont even notice that it's there.
I concur. Used Xposed with the GravityBox and BootManager modules for several months on my previous phone and never had any problem. I guess you could get bugs if you activate different modules that perform the same modifications, though. They might conflict with one another, I guess.

Yes : uninstall Greenify
I never noticed any real difference in battery life.
I am seriously considering giving up on greenify for a while and see if it goes well, maybe back to use ART in this case for uninstalling xposed. I feel the battery impact is not that huge at all.

Guys, I don't use Greenify for saving battery, I use it for getting some free RAM. These apps like Whatsapp, Facebook, Messenger, etc always keep running in the background and hog memory and impact game performance. Also, when these apps receive messages and a notification comes up, the running game lags for some seconds badly. One solution is turning the wifi off. But still, these apps do try to connect when running in the background and thus they do have some sort of activity going on. Also, they eat RAM and depriving the game of memory and thus slowing it down.

In that case simply enable "GCM Push notifications" on experimental features, all the pushes that come within GCM will work properly - well, quite properly since it lags the notifications a bit on my end.

That solved my problem. Thanks.
Ever since the last OTA was installed which included the app optimization, I've noticed that LastPass keeps getting killed. I have to not only start it again and log-in again but I also have to go to Accessibility to turn LastPass off and then on again. I did turn the app optimization for this app off (switched it to Never or whatever it's called). But nothing changed. The only remedy is to turn off App Optimization altogether which totally sucks because it has been helping with my battery quite a bit... I've played a lot with the available options in the app itself, and nothing seems to make a difference because I don't think it's an app-related problem in the first place.
Anyone else has experienced similar problem and found a solution?
i did app optimization and went back to greenify. wayy better, i get all my notifications and you can greenify system apps too

I'm having the exact same trouble. I don't think it's App Optimization since it was happening before that update for me. I've tried everything to keep it from being re-disabled. I saw other reviews on the Play Store with the same issue before App Optimization was added.
Yeah I'm having the same issue with lastpass and it was also before the update. I think it's something with 5.1.1.

You would have to have greenify as well as purchase the donation package, which let's you do a few other things like get notifications even if an app if hibernated as welll hibernate system apps

im gonna end up getting it...its worth it
Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.

Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.
turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?
