My Phone reboots by itself after a day since last boot, when I slide the unlock bar the screen freeze up an then reboots, after that, works fine for a day or two. Any idea what might be wrong? I got zapX rom with black glass theme.

Same thing happens to me.

Mine did the same. After a factory reset, no more problems. I hesitated a while knowing I would have to reinstall apps, but it was well worth it.

my phone does the same, its done it on OTA 2.2, flyX, apeX and Fission 2. motorola describes it as the phone going into a 'state of panic'. only solution i've found so far is to use 'no lock' so that i have no sliders, however now the screen comes on whenever i hit a button

I unfortunately can't recreate this. :S
But I wonder, if No Lock appears to alleviate the issue..
For those that want the lock screen, would something like WidgetLocker to turn off stock lock screen, and use WL's lock screen instead still resolve this?

Actually tried widget locker today in combo with no lock and that is working because its still not using the default lock screen. Been a good 12 hours now and reboot proof. Annoying but is a working work around.

Doesn't widgetlocker have an option to disable the stock lockscreen? Figured you could use it instead of no lock.. (??).
Maybe I'm wrong.

Any Solutions to this? How do you go about doing a Full Wipe, When I do the Factory wipe in recovery the problem still occurs.
Do you have to do something more where you un-root first?

Another thread posted in wrong section

Hi
I don't knew if anyone else has this problem, but I have just updated an app which had a widget on my home screen.
But now all I have in place of where the widget was its a clear space where the wallpaper is visible of which I can't put anything on it.
Its as if you try to put a shortcut on another short cut , you get that greyed out area appear, and this has happened to half of one of my half screens.
Sites r anyone know how to get that area back so I can put shortcuts on it?
Thanks

the old widget is probably still there but for some reason invisible. Try long pressing where it was and moving it to trash

If nothing else works, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications,
find Home Launcher and select Wipe Data.
It will erase everything on your homescreens, it will solve your issue
but you will have to set everything up again.

[Q] Weird Problem

I rooted my M and installed the original leaked JB from Moto the day it was available. Today I installed Safestrap 3.07 and created a backup of my current image. Done deal, works fine.
The weird problem is that my launcher doesn't stay active any longer. I use Smart Launcher Pro and have been for a while. Once I rebooted, created a backup with SS, then the default launcher came up and I can't change it.
Any ideas? Silly issue, but if I'm doing something incorrect, I need to know so I don't keep either making the same mistake or become increasingly frustrated trying to work it out.
Thanks folks.

Figured it out. Undefaulted the home screen in Apps cache and made super launcher default.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Running
Click on "Show Cached Programs" in the upper right corner
Find Home Screen and click it. then find the Cache section of the app and clear it
Then when you go back to the home screen, a dialogue box will pop up asking you which program you want to use as a launcher. Select what you want and click "Always".
Worked like a champ for me, hope it does for you.

[Q] what is this feature and where is its settings?

First, sorry my bad english ☺
So,when I put my finger on the bottom of the screen and slide up, appears circle with google and memo. What is this and where can I adjust it?
Tried to search forum, but no luck, cause I don't know its name ?

Seems like like most people call that feature the "nav bar ring" or "navigation bar ring".
That's the most I can do to help you. I'm not on a stock ROM anymore and can't recall any ring-specific settings.

My brother, who is new to Android, was just asking me about this yesterday. I did some research and it appears to be part of Jelly Bean and not an LG feature.
I cannot find anywhere to modify the apps shown on the swipe up in the phones stock settings. It looks like some Cyanogen developers are looking into it.
I did find there is an app called Google Now Swipe Disabler in the market that will let you change the top app option only. That might help for the short term, in the long term I think XDA will deliver the goodies.

Hope this helps.

Correct. The ring is AOSP. I can't say for sure if stock AOSP allows for customization, but I believe it does. I know AOKP has allowed customization of it for a long time.

It is from Jellybean and LG modified it. No setting for it that I'm aware of.

Thank you all!
Quite strange it don't have settings ability..

Google Now swipe up, my Nexus 7 has it and there no built-in settings to modify the swipe settings. The above link only disables it, but the swipe up function is still there, just with nothing to select.

It's one of the most irritating functions of the phone. I will never use Google now. But it happened I accidentally pressed the button of it.

Navigation Geatures question.

For those that are using the navigation gestures. Have you noticed that the back button on the right or left stops working. Only gesture that works is the swipe home.

Everything is fine on my phone. Stock ROM, blu.spark kernel, rooted, OOS 9.0.5.

Haven't had any problems here either, working as it should the whole time

I am on stock 9.0.5 and it happens every once in awhile.

I've been using gestures nav since I got the device 2 days ago and so far I haven't had any issues with it.

I just had the issue 5 minutes ago. The back just stops working. I get the haptic feedback but does nothing. Only swipe to go home works. After I go home it starts working again.

No running stock dark theme. I went into recovery and cleared the cache.

How can I backup everything and do a factory reset? Then restore everything back.

Can I use the OnePlus switch app. It has an option to backup and restore.

9.0.5 here and no issues with gestures.

Can you someone please confirm that the switch to the previous app gesture doesn't work in landscape mode?

That could be the app that you were running at the time. They can override the default behaviour of the back button. Can you remember what app you were using? I know for a fact I have a few apps that make you press back twice before they will exit.

The nice and quick "drag and throw" kind of gesture doesn't work in landscape, if that's what you're referring to. You just get the recent apps list and select the last app from there.

Actually the gestures stay in portrait mode when the screen rotates.

Yes, which is how you can bring up the recent apps list, but you can't do the quick throw gesture to toggle the last app, like you can in portrait.

I thought the same maybe it was one app causing the issue but it stopped working in different apps.

Too bad you can't do this with the Google gestures. With the Oneplus gestures I miss the toggle to turn screen off [emoji16]

I am wondering if Textra is the issue. Is anyone using Textra? Or is everyone using stock messaging app?
