Issue with 2.3.6 OTA Update...& Im Stock!!

To start off my phone is completely stock and i was on 2.3.4 before the update. Once i updated over the air, it completed and all seemed fine.
Once restarted, i tried to open my camera or camcorder and it said "Unable to initialize camera" every time i tried. So i restarted again and it worked this time.
Then sometime when using my phone, it says "Motorola Home Service....Has stopped working, must force close" then after that, my camera craps out again and the phone must be restarted.
Has anyone else had this issue? Ive always been stock, never unlocked or loaded any other firmware other than OTA updates.
PS. im on ATT

The only issue I'm having from stock 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 is Root access both Unlockroot and PetesMoto 1 clicks are failing to root

Glad I decided to post something as after searching finally found it. Had to break out the keyboard and start typing (ewwww) but success ..

Also just found out that if you click on the home button that takes you to the " menu" or "apps" screen, then click the search button, it will freeze the "moto home service" and must do a force close. Happens every time.

Fingerprint scanner completely stopped working

I have a stock rooted Galaxy s5. For a while now the fingerprint scanner would stop reading fingerprints (nothing would be detected when swiped, no "no match" or "swipe faster" type errors, just no reading at all). This was always fixed by simply rebooting the device. That was until now. After encountering that error again I rebooted the phone. Now it appears to scan the fingerprint but won't match. I've tried all three of the fingers I have registered with the same results. I also can't access the fingerprint manager. When I try to access the fingerprint manager it won't match the fingerprints and says I have the wrong alternative password (which obviously I don't since I was able to bypass the lock screen with it). It does accept the alternate password when I tried to change the password but when I press the last "OK" to change the password it says " an error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device". I have restarted more than once.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? is this a defective sensor? I have unlimited data and had to use a loophole to upgrade to this phone so getting support form verizon might be a bit difficult.

finger print scanner tab s
Hello. You bet i have! Just tonight. I have a rooted samsung tab s, I was receiving the exact error messages that you speak of. Swipe slower, blah blah. Now, my tablet will not offer fingerprint scanner- it just disappeared entirely! And my alternative password says it is incorrect when I know it isnt. It doesnt give me an option to retrieve my password either! So, no fingerprint scanner, and incorrect alt password- im hooped! I cannot get into my 600$ tablet that I am currently using for online courses!
Please, if anyone can help me get into my tablet, I will forever be grateful!
I just installed lollipop, not sure if that would have anything to do with it? Another recent install was inbox gmail.
Please what can I do?
Disappointed
Stuck on my s3 for all of my homework too!

You need to flash the aroma add-on package. From there, try to select/install an add-on that states "finger print(or something close to the term)". That's what i've done.

he said nothing about a custom rom. He is using stock rooted, so flashing an aroma add-on package will not help.

Annoying install Moto x pure

Model xt1575
I am having some trouble with my moto x pure xt1575. there is an install for an update that pops up on my phone blocking everything i do on it every 10 minutes of the day or even whenever i lock my phone wanting me to install an update that will never be successful. Ive ignored it many times and i just cannot find any way to get rid of it. My phone is rooted and i have no use for this update. please someone help me with this issue. it has became a real problem for me for a week now and i dont want to look at this thing any longer Ive attempted to attach an image to this post. hopefully you can see what pops up on my phone.

attempt #2 to attach an image to the post. hopefully it shows up.

Theres some kind of package update app, like "Motorola OTA" or something in system/apps. I think that you can freeze with titanium backup. That will get rid of the notification, especially if you dont ever want to take an OTA, this is the way to go. I'm on BrokenOS right now and the update crap is already totally removed on their ROM so I can't find the exact name.
Maybe see this thread for the Moto x and look for some of these things. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46927618&postcount=14

Damn
I installed titanium an went to freeze the updater app. It will not do it without a full version of titanium.

Have you tried these three methods?
I do not get update notifications, and truthfully I cannot remember how I stopped mine unless its in the rom I am using that it is blocked by default. I had my rom installed to long to remember.
But try these steps and see if it helps.

I think I did it
I downloaded app quarantine from the play store, set it to advanced settings from the tab on the top right of the apps home page above quarantine, I went back to apps on the home page of the quarantine app and checked Motorola updater then clicked either quarantine or block (mind you there is a tab next to the apps tab on the front page, you cantiss it) it gave me a warning that it will block this app then boom. I can find it on the quarantine tab and I haven't gotten a pop up in 2 hours when the update normally would've blocked all my apps every 10 minutes. I'm happy so far

Why does music playback glitch out when turning off the screen?

Every time I turn off the screen while music is playing , there is a short (<1s) glitch/skip/interruption in playback.
I've had this happen on both stock kernel and Veno's kernels which I am currently using, so I think we can safely assume it's not ralated to the kernel.
I tried all the usual like cache/dalvik wipe, cold booting, setting Google Music as a system app, using it as a user app and adding it the the list of protected app in Huawei's power manager, even a factory reset but nothing fixes this.
One weird thing is that for a while, this behavior stopped by itself for a few days only to come back a few days later.
Running stock b170, Meticulus TWRP, Magisk rooted, systemless Xposed, Viper4Android (via Magisk, as a system app)
Any ideas? It's bugging me like crazy.

It's from the audio drivers.

Ok, and is there a fix?

All of the sudden and without me doing anything at all, music playback no longer skips when turning off the screen. What the.
Later edit: the glitch is back.

Just a small shameless bump.

I have the same problem.

Setting my music app to not close in the close battery when locked setting under battery. That I have already tried but it's not working. My music still cuts off when I lock my phone. The widget sometimes disappear from the lock screen too.

my phone is rooted and was wondering if any app out there could prevent this annoying problem from happening...

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Are you using a custom ROM or stock ROM? that can make a difference to the answers.
---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
Try resetting
Settings > system > reset > network setting reset.
I hope this helps

No, it's just stock. I tried resetting and forgetting. I believe this started occurring after a recent update. I can manually start the connection and it will work for a few minutes then disable. I'm also using a VPN but the connection disables whether that's on or not.
network setting reset is in the "more" folder now. Settings >More>Network settings reset

Ok, I'm running Oreo on my Axon some of the setting are in different spots.
There has been a number of issues with networks on Axon, did you manually update or was it an ota?

It was OTA. This is the first time i've had this problem since I bought it August 16, 2017.
It's running 7.1.1

Check here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/wifi-stays-constantly-disconnects-t3837978
Its a common problem with the Axon 7 people on custom ROMs don't seem to have that issue.
I have the Beta Oreo I will test it some more on mine and give you my findings using it.
I hope you find a solution.

When I'm home I usually turn phone data off but I've discovered if I leave it on, wifi connection stays connected and not disabled.
**edit** I was wrong about that. It appears to stay connected longer but still becomes disabled on it's own.
