Black screen of death with Lollipop? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pressing "back" or "home", sometimes the screen goes black and I cannot interact with the UI. Am I the only person to have this problem? Is an APP, XPOSED or just Android?
p.s. a temporary solution is to change the profile, Android will detect the UI crasshed solving the problem, so just go back to your profile without any reboot needed.

up?

Which phone and ROM are you using? Never had this happen on my 8 GB xt1032 with stock Telus 5.02.

Moto G 2013, rooted, stock, xposed, nova luncher. I already tried to disable everything. Nothing, black screen happening when I press "home" and "back" too fast.

It sounds like an app is causing screen wakelocks, to fix this you would have to uninstall the app causing it or change its settings to stop it.
It you are rooted, download Wakelock Detector and look at the Screen Wakelocks, then you can see what app is responsible.
Have you got 'pocket mode' and/or 'active display' switched on?
Sorry for the inclear message I will try to re-explain. When I turn off the display with the hardware button on the side the display itself turns itself on automatically without me giving any input.
I decided to factory reset the phone ( before I read the messeges here on the forum ) this has fixed the issue but now the letter "R" on the keyboard seems to not respond. When I press the letter "R" the E or T gets shown it seems as if that part of the screen is not responding anymore.

CM12 - Random Black Desktop on Wake

Hi - I have tried multiple Lollipop based ROMs on my OPO. All the Lollipop ROMs have exhibited the same failure on my OPO: When the phone wakes up, I will randomly see a totally black - and basically unusable - desktop, but have a fully working Status Bar and working pull-down Navigation Bar. Holding the power button also brings up the shut-down options. so, I know that my phone isn't dead or frozen, I just can't see anything on my desktop. If I press the power button momentarily to lock the phone, I will see the unlock 3x3 pattern grid when I power on, and I can unlock the phone - but, I see a black desktop.
I recently loaded the official CM12 nightlies, and I am seeing the exact same thing. One thing I have finally determined (which I suspected previously), is that there was some sort of App crash during the phone sleep that had a pop-up message on the screen when the phone woke up. After a lot of random finger mashing and loud screaming at the phone, I saw my desktop again, and saw that "Google App" had crashed. After clearing the error pop-up, my phone has worked fine without rebooting ... for now.
The problem with this is that the black desktops become more frequent as time progressed, eventually reaching the point where I would reboot my OPO and it would power up to a black desktop. In the past, I occasionally saw a flash that looked like a pop-up message before the black desktop, and now I have confirmed that is what is happening.
Does anybody know what is going on?
The problem can be the gapps package you're flashing. Try another one.

Thanks! Do you have a suggested gapps I should try? I loaded pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.0.1-BETA7-20150111a-signed with this build.

[Q] Homescreen Button

I'm having an issue with my Nexus 5 after the 5.0 updates. I'm currently on 5.0.1 but had the same issue with 5.0. My device is completely stock. Just never felt like doing anything to the nexus 5. First phone I decided not to root. The issue i'm having is that every once in a while during a day I will try to turn on my phone to view any notifications or just refresh some news sites. Instead of getting the lock screen and hearing the unlock click to slide, i'm taking right to the home screen bypassing the slide to unlock. All applications at this point will glitch. For example, if i open hangouts, it will open but be blank. Spotify might open, or just be a dark gray screen. Other apps just behave very strangely. If I try to press the home button, it lights up and won't do anything. If i press the multi-task button it looks like it will show the running apps but then just shows a blank screen. If I press the back button many times, it takes me back to the home screen which might or might not be blank. The only way around this is to reboot my phone. But this is happening a few times a day. Often, i'll also see the home button and multi task button disappear. I've taken two screen shots of what it looks like. Has anyone ever seen this issue? I don't mind downgrading back to 4.x or rooting for a custom rom if that will resolve this glitch. I can also provide a list of installed apps if anyone wants to know. So what do you guys think of this?

During Phone Calls Home (Soft) Keys and Notification Bar Disabled

I'm not sure if this is an AT&T LG V10 "feature", but I haven't used the phone in its virgin state (non-rooted) because I rooted the phone right away. I have an issue with the AT&T LG V10 with Android 5.1.1, H90010f "10f". Whenever I make a phone call, the home (soft) keys at the bottom of the screen his disabled and hidden from view and the notification status cannot be used, such that swiping down does nothing. I checked the Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons to make sure that nothing is disabled, but nothing there.
Anybody experienced this situation and knows a fix?

It doesn't disappear on the unrooted or rooted version of the phone so I don't think that's the issue. Do you have any Xposed modules installed that may be causing this issue perhaps (i.e. gravity box)?
Thanks for confirming. I think some other whacky things are a result of using Debloater v3.90 to disable stock apps and other apps caused issues with my phone, especially my second screen to become nearly disabled.
I'll most likely do a factory reset tonight since that was indicated to fix the second screen issue, so it'll most likely fix the soft keys disappearing as well.
Update: I did a factory reset and everything is fully functional as originally designed for. This restored the second screen functionality and allowed me to multitask and/or use the notification area while during a phone call.

[HELP] Phone recognises touches but screen unresponsive (Works in safe mode)

Moto X Style not rooted
I have show touches on so I can see that the screen recognises the input but the phone won't correspond with what I'm telling it to do. Even when using a mouse via USB debugging.
Every time upon restart, it works properly for a minute or so, then the navbar & statusbar dissapear, screen fades to black and locks. When I press the power button, it shows the lock screen but won't let me press anything. Apart from the Power Off pop up when it appears. I also can still interact with the always on display.
If I boot it in safe mode, the issue doesn't occur and I can interact the screen indefinitely.
I've not installed any new apps recently but this just started happening about a day ago.
Any ideas of what's wrong/how to fix it?

If it works in safe mode but doesn't when booted normally, then your issue is caused by something that you installed yourself. Use trial and error to figure out which of your installed apps is causing the issue by uninstalling apps and seeing if this issue still happens, when you uninstall the offending app, it should start working like it is supposed to.
