Received my n5 yesterday, I rooted stock and didn't flash anything. Was working OK everything but now screen rotation stop working on every app! I read in another post that installing an incompatible app that uses sensors may break it but as far as I know before it died I only receive updates for YouTube and superSU. Anyone else having similar issues? Maybe time for its firts re-flashing ?

I had a similar issue yesterday. I'm rooted and superSU'ed and no 3rd party kernels/roms etc. Everything was working like charm unless I installed an app (a random picked one from the market) to test the barometer.
Effects:
accelerometers stuck (= dead) after a certain amount of time (10 ~ 30 minutes?), No screen rotations at all... And then I discovered that EVERY sensor was kinda muted. Only solution to get the sensor working was a reboot. But then in another 10/30 minutes they would have stopped again, over and over.
Solution:
Since I didn't knew it was an "known" (??) issue of certain barometric app reading the sensors during sleepmode (or something like that, I didn't bother), I thought I had corrupted the firmware and reflashed the latest stock firmware and rooted again.
Now everything is perfect again but probably I only needed to uninstall that crappy barometer app.
Be sure you didn't install any app dealing with the barometer. But in any case, reflashing is very very easy you can do it quickly via command line in an adb shell.
Thanks for the response..mine stoped working completely.. I didn't installed any barometer or anything related.. So I can't identify what cause this, dirty flash worked for you? I don't want to loose my configs

no I'm sorry, I flashed hammerhead-krt16m-factory-bd9c39de.tgz (I really fear brick since there's not an usb jig to save the day) and lost everything. But surprisingly enough, the second time I rooted I didn't loose anything like the first time I did (the first time I used cf-autoroot, the second time I did something manually)
Hey, but I didn't try any dirty flashing, so maybe this can be a better solution for you!
I went back to stock + relock. Still screen rotation is NOT working.. Damn!! I don't know what to do..
Hey guys,
I just got a Atrix 2 from a buddy of mine who recently upgraded phones. The screen is cracked and has 2 black spots, so I ordered a new screen and digitizer for it.
Anyways, the only other issue is that the camera does not work. I did a factory reset, and installed the ICS upgrade from android 2.3. Thinking maybe that would fix the camera not working issue. But it did not. Front camera works occasionally, but main camera never does and FC's camera app.
Is this a hardware or software issue? Are there any troubleshooting that I could try? If the camera itself is bad, I would simply install a new one while I have the phone tore down to install new screen and digitizer.
Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated guys!
Thank you!
Try installing the "Ucam" app from the playstore and check if you can open it.
Why upgraded to ICS when jellybean is already available??(I think you did system update in the setting) If the above app also dosnt work then you can try installing a jellybean rom and check..
Is your sd card properly working?
Thank you for the reply! I tried installing the camera app you mentioned, and still does not work. It force closes, unless you choose the front camera.
As for why i didn't install JellyBean, honestly ive never rooted a phone nor have i installed a rom or the like. I simply downloaded and installed the OTA update to ICS. I wouldnt even know where to begin to root or install a custom Rom to be honest lol
Is it possible the camera hardware itself is bad? I downloaded a flashlight app, and the flash does not work either.
Thanks again guys!

I also have experianced similar problems with the camera couple of times long ago..(probably when I was in ICS)
A simple reboot used to fix the issue..
I am not sure about your case.

to verify whether it is a hardware fault, i think you'd better to try several other ROMs first,
then you can have a conclusion....
Running stock Moto G 4.4.2 ATM, and updated to 174.44.1 yesterday, unlocked and rooted using TWRP v2.6.3.0. Very occasionally, when I want to use the camera I get the message "Unfortunately Camera has stopped" and I get a blank screen. I can exit the camera app and occasionally it will work if I force stop the camera app and try it again. I have also tried other camera apps, but get the same results. I suspect that they all using the same Android api or something. The surefire way to get it working is to reboot the phone.
I have tried fixing permissions, wiping cache, dalvic, wiping camera app cache etc. Perhaps I have a physical camera problem? As I see zero reports of Moto G camera problems in this forum.
Any suggestions?

Hi there, I'm having the same problem! From what country is yours?
@GregoryDelaey Hi, Mine is a standard US model purchased from Amazon USA. In desperation I have just done a factory reset and re-installing everything again!

Hhhhmmm, bought mine in Belgium so it's a EU model. I did happen to install the stock camera app (from a nexus) a while ago, but deletet it a few days after that. Maybe it's because of that?
Well so far after doing the factory reset and re installing my apps the camera seems to be behaving. I too use a KK camera from the play store, only because it keeps things the same as on my other devices. Yesterday I found another thread reporting the same camera issues. We should join that thread. PS. We have a home in Holland although live 6 mnths in Mexico, so we are almost neighbors...

Just to let you know. Two days on and I have been working the camera app, quite a bit. It seems fine now. As mentioned I did a full factory reset and then installed everything back one by one. I didn't use Titanium or anything. So it was a bit of a pain, But the result seems to be a complete cure. :fingers-crossed:

The fact that you have a house in the Netherlands is quite cool!
And any idea why it behaves like that if you don't reset? Is it still working?
Yes four days now and the camera is stable. I try it regularly just to be sure. By factory reset, I mean factory fresh. Where the phone asks language, gmail account etc. Then I installed all my apps fresh from the play store. It took a while, but the result seems like it is worth it. Finally used TWRP to create a backup.

Ok, I will try this tomorrow and I'll report here wether it works or not.
GB version, same problem.
Rebotting saved my day.
Same problem here on the Indian version. Reboot makes it alright. anyone who knows why this is happening? Hope to get a fix soon.
Have 2 Moto G's and this problem occurs on both.
Camera fix
Ok so I've been testing the camera for 3 days now and it works just perfect. The only fix (for now) seems to be resetting the phone. You can find this under settings - Back-up and reset (don't know how this menu is called in English, as my phone is in Dutch).
Be aware, it WILL erase everything so make sure to back things up.
@GregoryDelaey Hi, I am pleased to hear that the effort resulted in a good outcome for you. I was convinced that my phone had a hardware camera problem. But its now 10 days and the camera so far is faultless. Yesterday I tried some other camera apps to see if I could improve the camera. One called Snap Camera did seem to give marginally better results. But in the end I decided to stay with the Kitkat version. It doesn't have HDR but I decided that I could achieve the same thing by photo editing on my PC.

Camera Update
Ok, so the last few days I got the error again. It appears when I start the camera app, then it crashes and after that I can start the app again and start taking pictures.
But today, an update for the camera was released on the play story, it says it has several bug fixes + support for android 4.4.2. I think this might be the update we were waiting for. I'll test it this weekend to see if it is.

I have camera issues as well, running CM11 on my European Moto G. I only noticed it when I actually tried to take a picture, the camera app would crash then. My wife has a stock Moto G and told me about a camera update yesterday, but she wasn't sure where it came from, only that she did not have to reboot. I was wondering whether I would have to flash a new radio to get this fix, but now that I know that it apparently came from the Play Store I'm not sure what to do atm .
Rebooting does help by the way.

Yes the new update comes from the play store and it's from Motorola themselves. They updated the camera app to be compatible with Android 4.4.2. so that means it won't crash anymore (at least for me it doesn't). Can't help you with your camera issue though, seeing that you're on a custom rom.
Hi guys,
Ever since I updated to Lollipop especially after the recent update to 5.1.1, everything is screwed up.
The google camera doesn't work so I had to uninstall it to atleast get the phone's camera working. Flashlight turns off after a while.
I'm not receiving calls as those who call get the message that my phone is switched off even though my phone is in my hands SWITCHED ON.
What the hell should I do? Its pissing me off.
I just updated to LMY48B and the camera is laggy as hell -- pretty much unusable. I don;t know what to tell you except maybe try another camera app? I'm still looking for something myself. I use my camera constantly and this has made it worthless. Almost cause for rolling back to KitKat.
Those are uncommon issues. I suggest you to start from scratch by flashing the factory images.
Camera MX is a nice alternative app.

My install was a clean factory image. No idea what the issue is.

Hi,
I recently purchased moto g 3rd gen phone. The notification drawer keeps on popping in and out itself. This happens even when the phone is in idle state or in the app menu.
I have updated the phone and even tried factory reset but the problem persists.
Any help would be appreciated.
You are the first one with this problem (i think), so there is verry little information about this bug.
i cant help you sorry
(maybe if you in to a adventure: try flashing a custom rom like Cyanogenmod)
I just got my Moto G3 yesterday (16 GB model, XT1541, Android 5.1.1) and I have the same problem. I've already done a factory reset but basically this problem was there when I first switch on the phone.
Any help is appreciated, this is really getting on my nerves...
Sounds like a bad touchscreen, no?
Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk
That's what I thought at first, too. But it simply happens without anything touching the phone/screen.
I'd say it's a bug that some software (installed on the phone already - I had this bug after just switching on the brand new phone) is causing.
