Well those of you like myself that were having the issues of hitting the power button only to see a black screen, here is all I did and its been working flawless for 24 hours. Turn of the screen lock! I haven't tested other screen locks yet so maybe its just the default one
If this dose not work for you please post.
Trying this myself now. It had previously happened 3 times to me with the default lock screen. If this does work, that sucks cause I really liked the lock screen... Does anyone know if either of the firmware updates addresses this particular issue? I haven't done them yet was waiting for the new root method which was just released yesterday.
maybe that's why i never had that problem... i always had a pin from day1
I am updated to the latest firmware and the issue still existed. Are you running a battery monitor widget?
turning off screen lock didn't do the trick for me
what worked for me is disable wifi before turning the screening off or go into option and change it so that it never disconnect from wifi will fix the issue for me though
As title really, running the latest stock firmware and rooted. Any ideas? Just stays at the turning on wifi screen then just turns it to off again
I have the exact same problem. Anyone else had this and sorted it?
Anybody?
I have noticed that after updating to KitKat 4.4, that the phone doesn't always lock the screen.
My Phone and Settings for reference:
AT&T Moto X
4.4 Update rooted by SlapMyMoto (thanks @jcase)
Not Using Exchange
Screen unlock set to Slide (no pin or password)
Screen timeout set to 30 seconds
====
When using the phone I have noticed that if I let the screen goto sleep on its own, I can come back to the phone and hit the power button and the phone will just turn the screen on right to the home screen. I checked this with BetterBatteryStats and it shows that the phone is on for 5h, only in deep sleep for 3.5hrs, and the screen is dark for dark/dimmed for 1h. I am trying to wonder if anyone is having issues with this, I have noticed that sometimes my phone will be out of deep sleep and just running in at 384Mhz screen off profile, if I let it screen off on its own.
Now if I happen to press the power button to turn off the screen and put the device to sleep, it will require an unlock with no issues.
I did some testing and turned off the Active Display/Notifications turned off to see if it was related to the feature. And the problem continues, so it is an issue with KitKat from my testing. I wanted to make a thread to see if others could assist with further testing and gather what is the cause of this.
I cannot find a solution for this but the issue is when I miss a phone call when the phone is in my pocket, it automatically unlocks, and drains my battery.
I'm running 4.4.2 rooted on my AT&T Moto X, and I thought 4.4.2 would fix it. I do not have a screen lock
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hmm sounds like a strange issue...
You mean you don't have a screen pin/code/password, or that you don't have even the sliding unlock button?
Have a look in Settings > Display
What timeout do you have listed under sleep? The default is 30seconds, but it goes all the way up to 30min (which I would expect could definitely drain some battery...
Let us know and we may be able to help you further...

I do not have a password lock on my phone, Just the active display slide to unlock the phone. When a call comes in, I get the display to answer or ignore, but if I leave it go, it will just unlock to the home screen, then after a short time, the screen will shut off.
Thanks!

Ok, that is definitely not normal. Are you BL unlocked, or are you using the Pie root exploit? Or Safestrap?
I would suggest flashing the entire 4.4.2 AT&T SBF file using the manual method as described in the Return to Stock thread:
DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE USING SAFESTRAP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
You will download the 4.4.2 AT&T SBF file from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
As I seem to be telling people often, the only way to fix a corrupted filesystem (OR modifications made by previous exploits like Pwn/SlapMyMoto and MotoWpNoMo) is to flash the entire SBF file. Performing a "factory reset" cannot repair a damaged filesystem.
Often, it will fix ALL of your problems.
Good Luck
Did you install any apps, that plays with those settings after rooting?
thanks for the replies guys...I don't think so on the apps after root. IIRC, it did this before rooting the phone, so I thought it was a 4.4 issue.
it will unlock to the home page after every call, unless I answer, or ignore the call.
I'm using Xposed with these modules:
App Settings
GravityBox
HideCarrierMotoX
MinMinGuard
SoftkeysFadeMod
Twisty Switch
Xblast Tools
XPrivacy.
Again, I do not have a lock screen..when I try to enable one it does something funky with my electronic buttons, even after reboot. Not sure if it's because of SoftKeysFadeMod, or what..
I'm surprised others have not had this issue.
Thanks for you help.

May I ask if I understand correctly? You have no security setting, only active display enabled. If this is the case, this seems like normal behavior.
You screen turns on when you get a call, you don't answer. Until the screen time out kicks in, you see your home screen.
Once it goes dark, you should have an active display notification.
What Am i missing or what behavior are you expecting?

you pretty much hit it on the head...I was hoping the phone's display would not unlock to my desktop if I miss a call, but rather show the missed call on the active display.
I'm going to enable a security setting, and see if this changes the outcome.
Thanks
After enabling the swipe to unlock, I no longer have an issue with my phone unlocking when I miss a call. That seems to be the solution.
Thanks for your help
Rather odd, never happened to me with any ROM previously.
Devices is a Korean Note 3, rooted, running the latest X-Note. Pin lock is enabled.
Randomly the screen will turn on, and right to the apps, no lock at all.
I disabled xposed, tasker, anything that might be interfering or have special tweaks that could have a bug. I have wakeup detector installed, keeping an eye on screen wake events. There is nothing suggesting what might be causing the screen on, and the strange part of it all bypassing the lock screen altogether.
I usually just read existing topics to find answers, but this one leaves me confused. Is there another logging solution to find out what is activating the screen and bypassing lock?

After days of messing about, found something that appears to stop it. Revoking admin rights from Greenify. Still works otherwise, as it appears.
Also, eight hour standby time, loosing zero % battery. Amazing xnote + some tweaks.
