Was anyone experiencing the display randomly turning on & won't dim itself off. I am using the fingerprint lock so it stays on the screen asking for the alternate password. This happens while charging & when idle. The phone stays on until you press the power button. I am testing if is something to do with the fingerprint lock, switching to pattern lock. any ideas?
I also use fingerprint unlock and have noticed that the display will randomly turn on and ask for the alternative password. I just got the phone this past Sunday (6/8) and all I've really done to it is add the fingerprint security.
what ROM are you running?

Stock ROM, no changes.
I've also seen this. Usually happens to me at night for some reason. Screen turns on and when I hit the side button to turn off the screen it goes out for a few seconds then lights up again. Have to reboot to fix it.
Mine does it during the day at work quite a bit, I think it is from the home button being pushed in my pocket. It really should be associated with the light/proximity sensor as to when the button will work.
Having the same problem with both swipe and fingerprint unlock. I can understand swipe, fingerprint works better in my pocket then with my finger
Mine is constantly turning on in my pocket now. I have an otterbox commuter on it and edges are raised pretty good, doesn't seem like my leg would hit the home button but it's hard to tell
Only happens to me when connectivity state changes, or music skips for a notification

I am having this problem on stock unrooted ND2 as well as RDDT. I also noticed on both that I get notification sounds with NO notifications showing up. So I have my notification sound going off a few times each hour for no reason unless I leave my phone on silent.
As far as the screen coming on randomly, I found that disabling air wake has helped a little bit. Especially overnight, I leave my phone next to my pillow (yea, I am a junkie...) and the screen would turn itself on every time I rolled over, and the screen would stay on after that until I woke up and turned it off. I know it was staying on because a couple of times I reached over the phone, screen turned on and I watched it for about 5 minutes (screen time out is set to 15 seconds) and it didn't shut off.
TL;DR Turn off air wake - Need help figuring out phantom notifications (still exist after multiple factory resets and almost no apps installed)
My issue stopped once I installed a glass screen saver. Home button is now countersunk with the 0.33 mm. Cover & review.

I installed the same one, lol. It still does it, not as often though
I was using standard pattern lock screen on stock rooted and had this issue. It was the wave to wakeup feature that was causing it. I turned it off and it went away. 3 days with no waking by itself.
I've never had that turned on.
looks like you guys turn on air wake and it's working sensetively. on the contrary, mine is numb

It was numb for me too when it wasn't being awakened by ghosts. The other guy said he didn't have that feature on so not sure what the other issue(s) is/are.

air wake is a nice feature to extend the lives of home & power button, except it always makes me look like an idiot when I am waving my palm over the phone again and again.
I tried to set the mode to unlock by fingerprint and keep air wake on for a whole day, but I didn't encounter that problem. maybe it just affects some devices, maybe it's not air wake.
Anybody found a real solution for this inconvenient?!
This only happens at Lollipop... 2 months ago I updated and because this annoying issue that was draining my battery I downgraded to Kit Kat...
Last weekend I decided to give another shot to Lollipop, but the issue remains...
I tried all settings relative to screen and lock screen and nothing worked!

I have the same problem. My battery has been life does not even last me until the end of work. Trying a fix now that I just thought of though. This problem is incredibly frustrating at night too.
I believe its the connection optimizer. Go to Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer:
Then Uncheck "Connections Optimizer"
Seems to be working so far! So hopefully this helps the rest of you!
This Fix did not work still perplexed by this problem.
After rooting and removing a lot of bloat, I got rid of it. I have no idea which app it is though. Maybe an xposed module logging screen wakes could be of assistance. But I too noticed it immediately after flashing a lollipop ROM.
Hi everyone, moto global
Not a surprise in such a short time after Moto G 2016 has been updated to MM 6.0 internet is flooded with complaints. I had my update in UK for around a week now.
I have manufactory reset device since then twice due to following reasons and which did not solve the problem :
I am literally fuming because new update took everything away that made this phone super phone.
1) Battery time got much worse, neither my habits changed nor apps I use. I would say by 30% .
Simple browsing and reading drains 40% just in one hour.
2) Other thing is display touch issues.No matter how gentle or harder I press my finger or use fro same purpose other thinkers display thinks I want to open link, photo, jump into other page. In general open something or anything that is possible on current page. That happens flickering finger up normal speed , slower ,or faster doesn't matter.
There is clearly an issue because I had none of it while phone was on Lollipop.
3) I also noticed phone is slower opening apps, getting in and out of app , inside browser loading time got longer.
4) Why on earth would Moto not allow to downgrade it to Lollipop? I don't care you have MM6 I want to get back to Lollipop until you sort out mess around buggy MM.
......
What problems do you have?
People, please, stop exercising your flashing, roming muscle and how cool you are at that. This thread is for identifying actual/present problem on MM based Moto G 2015 .
The issue with the behavior of the touch screen is what really gets to me. I scroll and let my finger of the screen and it registers that as a press and opens some link if my finger happens to be over one as I lift it off.
I have two decent ways of reproducing some of my issues with the screen (being able to reliably reproduce problems is paramount if you want to report problems).
1. Go to http://www.msnbc.com/videos . Scroll a bit down the page and then move your finger rapidly up and down. No issue. It follows your finger perfectly. Now start playing a video on the page and try again. At least to me, after a fairly short while it simply stops moving and no longer registers my touch. I can lift my finger and put it back down and now it moves again. There's no freaking way playing a video should have priority in the kernel over keeping track of my touches. I get it's not the fastest phone in the world and i would be fine with a lot of lagging. But don't just "forget" i have my finger on the screen. Something is very clearly wrong. Not exactly sure how this was in lollipop, but I'm noticing a lot of touch screen issues in marshmallow.
2. If I scroll to the top of my app drawer (by moving my finger down) and try to scroll even further (which obviously I can't) it often takes the place where I lift my finger as a press and opens that app. If anyone can confirm this kind of behavior it will.be eaiser to go to Motorola with this
I erased the stock rom and put CM12.1 ... Solved my problems!

1. I have this issue to though it takes me quite a few times to move my thumb up and down before it freezes.
2. " and try to scroll even further (which obviously I can't) it often takes the place where I lift my finger as a press and opens that app" that's exactly what I have on facebook, androidauthority etc. Instead of page gliding further it registers finger as for press. This issue is so obvious on my phone. I can reproduce it fairly easy.

You can downgrade to Lollipop 5.1.1 from Marshmallow..
Upgraded my Moto G 2015 to MM and had same issues like yours so I decided to downgrade to Lollipop and battery life is awesome in Lollipop... 5+ hours Screen on Time.

How ? I did try factory reset it brings me back to MM 6. My phone is not rooted.

Once you upgraded to MM factory resetting will not downgrade...
You have to manually flash the firmwares files for Moto G 2015 Lollipop
I am also suffering from the touch issue
I tried downgrading but it fails to write the bootloader, etc. Some detailed instructions on how to do this using fastboot would be awesome...
Can you downgrade to 5.1.1 without an unlocked bootloader?
And since the ghost input issue seems to be a software issue, can't we just tweak it somehow?
I don't experience the same issues. I really like MM, but I don't think that is much better or different from LL. But I think I have better battery, better image and no touch issues. Performance doesn't appear much different.
I upgraded from OTA and have a XT1541. Did a factory reset after the upgrade.
This upgrade to android 6.0 on my Moto g 3rd gen is killing me
- Random bouts of slowness, if it had a hard drive with spindles I'm sure I would hear it ticking away constantly
- lag when typing into search bar etc
- lag when hitting home button
- the unintended link-clicking thing when simply browsing a webpage is infuriating especially considering how SLOW it is to bring up the link then go back because you don't bloody want it opened I. The first place. aGhHHHhG!!!! ajdfhaahbs#!&#@[email protected]
- I've started receiving low battery warnings on a daily basis when I have in general not considered battery EVER during the day with this phone
- apps have been crashing or constantly bringing up the dialogue box about not responding and wait/kill it
- Gmail notification is inconsistent - I'm not getting status bar notifications for all new email, can't find a pattern - does work sometimes
Basically what was a decent phone has now turned into a P.O.S
What is actually better about MM ?
I want to downgrade to Lollipop - considering I'm taking matters into my own hands is Lollipop the best option?
Whats the best way to safely flash the phone to proposed O/S? Link to approved method please and THANKS

The factory reset should have resolved most your issues. Did it not help?

I did twice. Didn't work for me. Now I did hard reset. Just signed in with my google account and nothing else. Not even updating apps . Will give a couple of days and see what's happening.
I can confirm after few days of hard reset issues persist. Sending phone back.

Did you manually flash everything but the bootloader and gpt.bin file?

I have problems with touchscreen too. I've documented them here: https://youtu.be/_hMp9vb2WUI
Same here. Touchscreen is driving me crazy since i updated my xt1541 to stock MM.
Specially when i scroll up/down but the phone reacts as if i clicked. (factory reset and wiping cache didn't solve the issue).
i fixed the issue wirh touch screen by just removing the screen protector (glass)

I have exactly the same problem. I think is related to the size of finger. Also at mine moto g, with the app that you used in your video, using 2 inch i having the problem, using the indices no So, with smaller touched area the problem not appear
About the ghost touch, i have no idea what they have combined in motorola, but seems that the touch is "software" managed (like a 3d render made by the cpu instead of gpu), and it seems that with the cpu under stress the problem worsens, and problably this is why it does not always happen.
I made another test: if you enable developer option and you activate the cursor position option (i don't know if is the exact english name, i'm italian), with 3 touch have a huge lag, with 4 is impossible to draw cursor positions. About this test i don't know if is a problem of touch or is a problem of developers tools. Is necessary to check with another android 6 smartphone.
I also found another bug about the energy saving. Yesterday, when the battery has dropped below 15%, the energy saving has been activated automatically, as i set, but after connecting the charger it is not deactivated. I had to repeatedly juggle with the power saving enabling option to disable it (notification bar and buttons bar still remained red even with the power saving option turned off). Today I realized that the phone lags so obscene and discovered that, although it was not notified of the power saving mode, only 1 core was active with variable frequency. I had to again turn on and off the power saving mode to have all the core active (in cpu-z the governor was ever interactive but with only cpu0 active before re enable and disable power saving mode). Some happened this thing?
F...k, i was so glad I bought a motorola moto g i hope they solve these problems.
Since I upgraded to Nougat I have developed this issue. I use the option to set my lock screen wallpaper to rotate between 30 selected images from my photos. This works for a few hours. Everytime I look at my lock screen its a different image. Then it stops alternating. I have to go in and select a new batch of photos. It then works for a few more hours. It never stops on the same photo. Anybody else see this happening?
have u tried to Wipe and restart the device?
back up everything first!
No I have not done that yet. I used it all the time before the update. I went ahead and tried it on my wifes phone that also updated to Nougat and it does the same thing. Maybe someone else can try it and see if it works?
One other thing I've noticed. If I unlock my phone often it will keep changing. It seems like it stops working when the phone sits untouched for awhile. Could it be the doze feature? This problem did start right after upgrading to nougat. I see that you can select apps that you don't want doze to affect but what would I choose for the stock screen saver app?
Anybody get the fingerprint enrollment to work without sending phone back to OnePlus. I have tried just about every fix I can find on other threads with no success. I installed the latest OS 11.0.5.6 AA and I think it got worse. Can't even run the calibration tests. My fingerprint has been broken since I got the phone new from OnePlus. I don't really use it at the present but it would be nice to have working if I decide to sell phone later.
By broken do you mean its not detecting your fingerprint? are you using a screen protector? If you send it to OnePlus with a Lock on it they will refuse it and probably keep it if they follow Sammys practices...
never gets to the point of detecting fingerprint. just error message that enrollment not complete.
Is this only in the first set up screen or even when you go through the settings to ass fingers?
The only issue I have with my FP reader is sometimes when I first unlock the phone I have to place my finger/thumb directly center and use relatively firm pressure to get it to unlock. If I relock the phone (using double tap, or the power button) and then double tap to unlock right away the reader works much better. I am not sure why it only appears less reliable after the phone has been locked for some time...( i have not done any time lock experiments). Also, after the phone is unlocked and I use the FP reader for anything else...like a banking app, of whatever else...it works flawlessly and responds very quickly as expected. I am not sure why it only acts "funny" after being locked for some time. It's almost like something is going into a deep sleep while being locked???
At any rate, what you are describing sounds much different, even though it might somehow be related to the whole FP reader issues. If mine was acting as bad as your I would demand a return, repair, refund...whatever it takes to get the issue fixed.
Got it to work. I had pulled persist img when I first received the phone and unlocked. I flashed the old persist.img using fastbootd and got fingerprint to enroll. I use a tempered glass screen protector and it took awhile to get it enrolled but works good now that I have a fingerprint entered.
My S22 Ultra updated to Android 13 this morning. Since then on two separate occasions when I took the phone out of my pocket, it says 'Too many incorrect unlock attempts' and it makes me wait before I can do anything with the phone. The first time it made me wait 5 minutes and the second time 11 minutes.
I cannot enter the PIN and I cannot even turn off the phone until the time has expired. Never experienced this before.
What on earth is going on and how do I stop it? Anyone else had this?
Turn on accidental touch protection under settings / display

It was already on. I have now turned off touch sensitivity and also double tap to wake. I will see what happens.
However, I don't understand why this has only happened since I updated to OneUI 5.0 today. In the past if I had an issue with my fingerprint, it would tell me to use my PIN. It never locked me out completely for a period.
