Constant Notifications - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, hopefully this is an easy one for you:
I have a first generation Moto-G (NOT rooted). Ever since Lollipop was released I've been getting the notifications to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade, so I tap "No Thanks". No big deal to do that a dozen times a day I guess.
Here's the real problem. The sliding animation thing that happens when the notification pops up has started happening more and more often, almost every time WITHOUT the notification. This is happening so often I can barely use my phone now, like maybe 5-10 times a minute.
Does anybody know why this is happening, or how I can fix it?
Thank you kindly!

Is the RC33 Upgrade responsible for sms/calls Buggy Behavior?

I am in Baltimore Maryland... Ever since i upgraded to jf's rc33 firmware, i get aloooooooooot of " undelivered message" notifications. This never used to happen to me, maybe once a week with 2 messages. In most cases people ask me why the F am i triple texting, and it happens when i try to resend the messages and the phone keeps saying "message cannot be delivered". Is anyone else experiencing this? In maryland only perhaps?
I have tried keeping message count below 100, reseting the phone seems to be the only quick fix. One other thing, when i try to make phonecalls every now and then, the **** just hangs up as soon as the call is placed and when i receive a call sometimes and i press the answer key, it takes about 10 seconds to answer and continues to ring. suggestions buddys?
Make sure you delete your SMS threads if they get too long. Typically once threads get past 150 they are slow and take a while to open. If you are using the stock sms try chomp seems to handle threads better. I have JFRC33 and have not issues.
My wife and I have the exact same problem with the phone hanging up and not picking up a call for while. And dropped calls - almost always. And we live in the heart of Dallas.
yea the g1 is a nice phone, but either android or t-mobile blows..
every now and then people call me, and i get a missed call, but the phone never rings,
and sometimes when i call people, they pick up but one of us cant hear the other,
and sometimes, the g1 will ring, but when i press the green button to anwser, the phone continues to ring
im getting pissed off,
rc29, rc33 both fail to work
I am in Baltimore as well, and I have JF1.42 RC33, without any of the problems you have. Sorry, can't be of more assistance, but maybe your SIM card is old and needs to be replaced? I have heard of them causing issues sometimes.
yup same thing is happening to my phone. it is really starting to piss me off. i thought it was cuz i dropped my phone but i guess others have been getting the same thing. i hope theres a fix for this
I had this happen to me about two days ago. SMS failed to send to anyone. I restarted the phone and havent had a problem since. They are still developing this unit, so try to be patient.
i've had some calling issues recently, both making and receiving.
sometimes when receiving a call, i'll pick up and my phone will reboot, and take absolutely ages to boot up. and when making calls the other end will sometimes go completely dead and it's the same for the other person.
only happens very occasionally but it's happened with a few landline calls and different mobile networks. only been since RC33 too. not saying it's related but it is kinda annoying.
Wipe fixes all
unless the problem's firmware/hardware related, then it does **** all.
Wipe and wait
Could be too many apps eating memory on the G1 and/or buggy apps crashing buggy android. The best you can do is download mybackup from market, back up all data +sms+ageda etc, Wipe the phone. An dont install a single app from the market in 1-3 days and see if problems dissapear.
Personally, i never install any app who claims to "start at boot" Never. MyBackup is one of them and always delete it after backup. i may be wrong but i thing resident in memory apps and apps who starts at boot degrades performance over time, because many of them are buggy so i avoid using them. Well my phone runs fine with this.
buggy behavior
well i think this happen when phone memory is full, try to delete least used applications, clear applications cache like browser and youtube , then do a reset.
Ive had the issue more than a few times where the phone will start ringing but the screen will stay dark, i wait until it turns on to see who is calling after a few rings and then it wont respond to pressing the answer button unless i press it a few times, and even then it takes its sweet time answering. Ive dropped plenty of calls due to this, and yes it has only started happening after the radio firmware/RC33 update.

Oh... don't even start my on "MyBackup"... I kept trying to figure out why my phone was lagged so much when I was going back to home screen. Uninstalled apps that were running all the time one by one. MyBackup and Phonebook were 2 biggest memory hogs. Phone runs oh so smooth after I unistalled those 2. Backgrounds app still autostarts for some reason but I like that app too much to uninstall and it does not cause as many problems.

I still have this problem after another wipe..
why does android suck...
i wish tmo would come out with a winmo 3g phone, so much more stable and with more features =(.. i miss my shadow now
I started running into the issue of the phone not actually responding to the "answer call" button, but found it was only happening when I had auto-rotate set up with the DroidSans tools and the display had been rotated to landscape. It seemed like it would start trying to switch to portrait, then lock itself up long enough for the call to go to voicemail, then flip to portrait and be responsive again. I haven't had the problem since I disabled auto-rotate.
However, on the "too many apps" thing, I've suddenly started noticing that my phone will start a good 15-20 apps on startup, including things like AK Notepad. I didn't notice if this was something that started with RC33 or if I've done something else to make this happen...does this happen with anyone else?
I have had a similar issue with my g1 dropping calls and will sometimes see a force close while on a call as well. I did a wipe and did not enable auto rotation and so far it seems to be running more smoothly.
Been there done that...I am having the same issues and it is beginning to drive me nuts. I make heavy heavy use of my phone on a daily basis. Dropping calls where they just go to la la land...or the phone rings and I cannot answer for about 10 to 15 seconds, the phone just reboots for no reason... stupid things like that. I have RC33 rooted, radio upgraded with JF 1.41 and this has been happening daily about 3 times or so a day. I love my G1 and I have a hard time parting with it...I am trying to be patient while it develops but...I am about to go get the 8900 curve...
I forgot to mention...I had to do a wipe on my phone also due to a problem with the accelerameter and that did not help this issue either.

it seems to me that it is tmob related, since i`ve had that b4 on my lil nokia phone.

Does anyone else's Sensation crash periodically?

I did a quick search and didn't seem to find anything for 'crash'.
I've had my phone since the July 5th release date in Canada and since then it's probably crashed 6-7 times.
I can never tell what's crashing it (each time felt different).
once i specifically started noting what crashed it, one was in the middle of writing an email in the Gmail app when I hit backspace. Surely the Gmail app that came loaded with the phone isn't crashing it?
Another time I was just exiting an app via the back button and the screen turned black.
The other few times I don't recall.
Is anyone else experincing this? Is there any type of debugger or crash log for the phone? If no one else is experiencing this, it stands to reason one or two of my apps are crashing the thing.
I've got the Bell Sensation, too, and I'd have to say it's crashed about the same amount of times. Each time, I send the report to HTC. The app is called "Tell HTC", it comes up automatically in the notification bar.
One time it was the camera app that I was in when it restarted, another time I was viewing the calendar app. It's a phone that's only a few weeks old. Hopefully after the first OTA or two, the phone will be less buggy.
I came from a Motorola Atrix, and even after the updates, it would still periodically restart/crash. Boo.
This doesn't really help you, but just wanted to let you know it's not just your phone!
My phone has only the camera & screen issue, when battery is to low and I am capturing my sensation restarts. also sometimes I have some lines on screen. but my phone never crashed yet, I have it since 25 June...
Seems like it's mostly the T-Mobile and Bell variants that have the most issues.

[Q] Doctorz rom sms time stamps

I know doctorz is like the hottest rom out for us infusers right now, so there must be alot of people with it, but is there anyone having an issue with their sms recieved times off by a few hours?
In my case it's 5 hours behind and it can really get annoying
I have a fix but i think it has to be restarted every time you reboot or some **** like that i dunno
The app is called Sms time fix... it's in the market and it's free
This is what you do if you have this problem
1. Download and open app
2. Hit activate
3. Tap on "Adjustment Method"
4. Select "Use Phone's Time"
I know there is this fix, but does anyone know how to stop this from happeneing? Like without the app?
A Factory Reset should fix the problem.
one of the reasons I quit using the ROM. yeah the app had to be restarted every reboot.not a big deal if you not getting like 4-5 random reboots per day. And at least for me it only worked part time..at random point throughout the day I'd get text responses dated anywhere from 1min to 2hrs before I said something

S10E problem with notifications

Hi There,
I got an really annoying problem and can't find anything on the web or this forum. Probably due to the common keywords....
My problem, since 1,5 months (can't remember if this is after an update) notifications stay on screen for 45 seconds! App notification but also android system notifications (the grey ones beneath the screen). For instance, picking up my phone from the wireless charger the phone says "Draadloos laden onderbroken" this is the dutch message for saying the phone has stopped charging wireless. Then opening let's say whatsapp, this notifications hovers 45 seconds above the text input position.
I can't find any setting that let's me adjust the screen time duration of notifications. Rebooted the device and also had a new update few days ago, but the problem stays. I'm running Android 10, One UI 2.0 with kernel 4.14.113-17806689.
I feel really stupid not figuring this seemly simple thing out by myself.
Gr,
Erwin

Have you found this setting?Settings\Accessibility\Advanced settings\Time to take action
Instellingen\Toegankelijkheid\Geavanceerde instellingen\Tijd om actie te ondernemen
Not sure if it will solve the problem, but it seems related. This setting is hard to find and you might not remember having changed it. No 45 sec option though.
OMG, this did the trick. #Nunspeet #hero

That worked for me for some reason mine was set to 2 minutes. I don't remember changing this setting. Ooo well it's resolved now.
Thanks
Notifications are a disaster on this phone. It kills apps in the background too aggressively, also (excluding apps from that seems a little hit-and-miss). I love customization, but Android 10 and OneUI have made a real mess of this.
My current problem is when I get a call, the popup flashes only for a second. Everything was so much simpler on my old rooted phone!
When I get a flood of notifications, my phone freezes up. Either it's Notistar's fault or there is a huge issue with the notification system.

Time stands still during calls - stock S10

I've been looking everywhere for any discussion of this issue, and found nothing.
Often during a call with a certain person who tends to ramble, I need to check the time of day. I look at the screen of my S10 and the time of day is not updating. No matter how long the call is, the time does not change.
As soon as I hang up, the time updates and is again displayed correctly.
Has anyone else observed this phenomenon? Is there a fix?
