Hi there, your comments would be greatly appreciated.
To keep data, I flash the whole 8.0 stock firmware after removing -w.
After using days, the phone can't be easily unlocked, even by power key or by FPR. Sometimes, I need to wait a more long time for the phone waking up.
Sometimes the incoming call can't even wake it up, I can't answer the call.
Have reflashed the firmware with -w available then restore all my app via titanium backup. the issue persists.
Please help! How to tell which app prevent the phone from waking
Try factory reset and not restoring data with titanium rather Google backup

Thanks. have tried clean install. everything is fine before restoring data with titanium.
So there must be some app which prevent phone from waking. Is there any chance of find this app.

I'd say just start over....
I'd say it's titanium backup restore itself

thank you dude, will take a try.
If the issue persists you could give a list of the apps you install if you don't mind.. maybe we can figure out which one affects the unlocking. :highfive:

I'm having a similar issue, but in my case I'm having trouble waking up the phone after it's been unplugged from the charger. If I use my phone all day after a full charge (and after rebooting), it's silky smooth, but the second I plug it in, the issue starts until I reboot again.
It might be extreme, but I've done this multiple times on previous phones. I restore half my apps, say the ones starting with A through M. If there's no problem, then I install half of what's left, say N through S, etc. Keep doing this as a process of elimination. Yes it's tedious but eventually you can narrow down the problem app and/or app data. You could also try restoring all of your apps without data, and if there's no problem then restore the data for half of the apps, etc.
Otherwise, as @PunishedSnake said, don't restore data (or even apps) at all with Titanium Backup. It sucks but we all occasionally have to do that.
I've since factory reset my phone with minimal app installation (no Google restoring of apps), but am still experiencing this frustrating glitch, even with/without unplugging the charger and rebooting.
Debating whether or not I should root (and downgrade).
Safe Mode fixed the problem. I will try to find the apps which prevents the phone from waking up.
How can I do this.

I think I've found the problematic app in my case. I've been using immersive mode through Custom Navigation Bar and after disabling it, my phone has become responsive again. After double checking the app's description in the Play Store, it seems the dev hasn't updated it for Oreo yet.
#FirstWorldFragmentationProblems
Edited: In order to fix this problem, simply use Tasker to disable Custom Navigation Bar's Immersive mode whenever you turn off the screen, and re-enabling it either when you unlock the phone, or only for specific apps (which is what I do).
Yes. try to enable immersive mode via this command
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
now everything is fine.

Glad to hear you were able to resolve your problem. In my case, I actually don't want immersive mode activated all the time so I may still have to root in order to selectively choose which apps I apply this command to.

Is there any way to backup the app settings without rooting?
I do not currently have access to a Windows machine to root my phone but I badly need to restore factory settings as the camera keeps force closing when I switch into video mode.
not possible without root.
You could try clearing the cache.
If you're not taking 3D pictures, you can also try download a new video recording app for now till you can root.
Thanks, I managed to find the Linux rooting method so got it all sorted now.
I still seem to be having issues with the time and widgets on the home screen sometimes freezing though, it must be one of my apps as even from factory settings it triggered it after recovering my backup. I ended up reinstalling most stuff from Market and just using Titanium to restore data where absolutely essential, seems to have reduced the problem.
That said, the problem is like that - one minute it will work fine then suddenly one day the time and widgets will fail to work whenever WiFi is connected. Wish I knew what was triggering it, I'm hoping its a glitch with an app that doesn't like Froyo and it will magically go away with Gingerbread.
Hey. I seem to have a problem with my phone.
Last night I was playing with my Sensation XE, and noticed that there was an app called "Wallpaper" taking up 60mb of memory, which was the biggest app at the time. I closed this app, and everything was fine, but it appeared again later. This time I cautiously disabled the app, and then checked that my wallpaper was still working OK, and I changed it a few times to make sure that was fine still, then carried on playing some games, and everything was peachy.
However, this morning I unlocked my screen to find a black screen where my phone used to be. The status bar at the top is there, and still works fine, and can be pulled down showing notifications, but even clicking on those notifications does not bring up the associated app onto the black screen below. Accessing the settings menu via the status bar also does not work, although it appears to open somewhere, as it appears in the recently used apps on the status bar menu.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can re-enable this wallpaper app? Or any way to recover my phone? I have a previous backup from 1 month ago. Can the system state be recovered from that?
Thanks in advance for any help.
HTC Sensation XE
Flashed with Android Revolution HD 6.5.5
possible solution
hmmmm. have you used a task killer to keep the app disabled??
you could try to use adb ro remove the app entirely, and then use adb to reinstall it followed by a reboot. best make a full backup though incase it goes tits up. worst comes to worst do a backup of your rom, wipe and start fresh and reinstall apps from the backup.( i think thats possible )

Thanks for the quick reply!
I haven't used a task killer for the disabling. I disabled it in the system page for the app. Where it usually has Force Stop, Uninstall, Clear Data etc. The uninstall option had changed to Disable.
I have used adb a couple of times in the past, but not extensively. Any chance you could run through the commands required?

I think the best thing for you to do would be plug into computer with usb debugging enabled.
Then run "adb reboot recovery"
from there reflash your ROM (a full wipe shouldnt be necessary)
then reboot and you should be good
Fixed
After many hours trawling google to try and find an answer, I finally found something.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1151150.html
I had no idea what the disabled app name was though, so I used the following to list the disabled packages.
Code:
pm list packages -d
The command needed to enable the apps was
Code:
pm enable APPNAME
Did a restart, and now everything seems fine again. That's possibly the last time I play with things on my phone.... Or maybe not.
Thanks for your help and time =]
Edit: Just to let anyone know, these commands are performed using a remote shell interactively through adb.
glad you got sorted buddy, and thats handy to know!
Hello guys, out of all the bugs this is the one bothering me the most.
Battery settings show WiFi as on all the time no matter how i switch it off.
I have disabled all the settings like scanning always.
I flashed the factory image yesterday (not OTA) and waited till a full charge, now today even after a full charge its still the same.
Is this a common bug or just me??
UPDATE :Tested with a clean flash of the factory image and without any apps, the result was that the issue has been solved. It could probably be some app which isnt updated to work in 5.0 yet. (Probably Viber app)
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I didn't flash the image, just flashed it via multirom. I don't have that problem...If that happened to me I'd try to reflash to see if I could replicate the issue with no apps other than what comes with the image.
I just flash my ROM yesterday with the factory image too and now I'm facing the same problem.
Battery usage shows that Wi-Fi is always on even the phone is sleep.
Really want to know why... I think it really consumes the battery.
I flashed the factory image too. I have the same problem. WIFI is always on. Any idea?
I've got it, too. Clean flashed 2 times. Well, hopefully Google gets on it soon.
Same here. Clean install, no root, no tweaks.
I opened issue here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79326
Solution
had the same issue. what i found out was that it was not an android issue, the issue is with viber app(atleast in my case it was). to confirm it try booting to safe mode and check you battery stats. safe mode disables all 3rd party apps. if it works then reboot normally and uninstall viber.

I updated OTA and I have the same problem. Wifi always on, battery sucking. I don't have the viber app.
try booting to safe mode just to check if it was caused by any other 3rd party application

Well, turning WiFi off and rebooting "resolves" this issue too, but it's no solution at all, the "bug" is still present.

Right this could be the reason. I clean flashed the factory image once again and now its not there without any apps installed. Viber could be the reason.
And btw for those who doesnt know about "Scanning always available" feature, you have to disable "Scanning always available" option in Advanced WiFi settings to truly switch off WiFi when you disable it. Otherwise it will always be on even if the phone goes to sleep. This is an Android feature. I have shown it the pictures of the 1st post.
So regarding the OP, should install apps one by one and confirm who the culprit is.

there was no need to have clean flashed again, you could have booted in safe mode(press and hold power off option) which disables all 3rd party apps. you could have figured it there. anyways for other people with the same issue you could try this and to figure out which app causes it, reboot back to normal and try force stopping each app and check. thats what i did to figure it out. Viber was the cause of the issue for me as i mentioned earlier
Hi All, I am facing very weird problem after disabling pre-installed apps (e.g. Google music, books, etc) on my HTC one A9. Apps are getting disabled but when I restart my phone its not booting up and just got stuck on HTC welcome screen and after a minute it shows and Android update window and always update 29 apps and restart again and same thing started again and again, its kind of stuck in boot-loop.
I am on 6.0.1 MM official firmware. No root, no boot-loader unlocked, no S-OFF
Please help me.
Same for me, when on [email protected], it is held in a tight grip, do not touch facebook app, or it will not boot again. Not the same when on eu firmware though

Thanks for prompt response, but I am not disabling Facebook app. just Google and few HTC apps e.g. Flashlight..
I hope you didn't disable HTC Sense Home
I disabled perhaps every thing Google made but Maps and Gmail, I even uninstalled some to make some space in the System partition and I didn't face any problem.
You certainly disabled an important HTC app, try to do a Reset (it will wipe all data): Power OFF then hold together volume up + Power, it should give you access to Download menu.
A factory reset will enable all the apps and it will work again, but backup your personal things before on the external SD or PC

No, I did not disable any HTC apps except flashlight.
I think you have disabled Google.app. Do it not and your Device will boot.
OK but why can it be disabled on the eu version and not us unlocked? on eu I can disable what I want! Ahhhh!! it is so your government don't lose any info from you, the spy on every word you type on the unit.
thanks man

Google app can be disabled, but you have to first de-select it as the voice/assist app.
Settings>apps>configure apps>default apps>assist and voice input
Note: Before disabling apps that can possibly soft-brick your system, backup /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml so that you can restore it in TWRP file manager if something goes wrong. Otherwise, you either have to wipe data, or manually edit that file.
I had weird problems with Moto G3 touch screen.
1. Touch screen hangs when I restart phone and immediately swipe for notifications.
2. Sometimes home buttons are not working.
3. Sometimes whole touch screen doesn't work. Lock and unlock solves issue.
4. This is really weird. When home button is not working. I press and hold for a moment. Google App starts and all 3 buttons start working.
5. Notification window automatically flashes at regular interval without swiping.
I don't understand. I tried to debug.. It seems software issue not hardware issue. Please help.
Sounds like a lag problem... memory full or runaway app... I would first do a cache wipe, then check memory usage and make sure it isn't almost full, then look at storage because I have seen phones do this when internal storage is very limited.
Thanks for reply. One more problem added

I have done factory reset twice. I always keep enough space in phone. I cleanup everyday. Memory issue can never be problem for me. I dont keep unnecessary data. Now i have observed one more problem. Notification window automatically flashes at regular interval without doing anything.

Hmm... the whole notification bar is flashing at regular intervals? This really sounds like a software issue... Are you stock?
Honestly, at this point you need to absolutely verify hardware or software... I would factory default, and skip everything in setup, do not add Google account (important!) or restore anything, except login to WiFi. Does it still do it? If so, it is probably hardware and you need to RMA it to Moto, if it is OK then it's a software issue in one of your apps.
Any screen protector or case? Sometimes they are known to do weird things on this device, especially tempered glass ones.

Thanks for quick reply. I agree with you. It's software issue. It works fine in safe mode. Actual hardware is fine. May be I can try factory reset one more time without adding google account. Okay. I will get back to you once I do reset. Thnx buddy.

Hi.. It's working smoothly without any problem. I haven't added Google account. Now what next? Should I debug which App is causing problem because I can't survive without Google account. I have to add.

Add the Google account but don't restore apps... Setup all the Google services and test, if it's OK then start adding apps a few at a time. If it starts acting up its a system settings issue, factory reset and add Google account but don't restore any services at all and continue to setup like a new device.
