The phone suddenly restarts on pressing power button. The reboot issue in first Moto E is seen in many cases. In fact, the people reporting this issue are increasing in number.
The issue is generally seen when the screen is
1. locked or unlocked at any time.
2. Frequently Locked and Unlocked
3. Simply Unlocking from pattern lock
4. Locking
Q. So we guess issue is in software? No , many users tried to flash stock ROM , custom ROMs , a wide range of kernels , but the solution still seems to exists.
A. Thus the problem is definitely in hardware. Solution is to prevent the use of power key, which locks and unlocks the phone.
How to Prevent use of power key?
Solution 1:
-Use Power button to volume button : Playstore Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teliapp.powervolume&hl=en
-Screenshots attached.
-Tap on enable/disable volume power.
-Enable both the options.
-Reboot.
-Press volume button to wake and unlock phone and turn of the screen from status bar to lock the phone.
Solution 2:
-Root your phone
-Install Elemental Kernel or any other which supports double tap to wake (d2w) [To Unlock]
-Install xposed kernel
-Download Gravitybox
-Enable double tap on status bar to sleep [To Lock]
Solution 3:
Gravity Screen App
(Suggested by user @shrikanthh )
Solution 4:
-Install Custom ROM i.e. Cyanogenmod 12
Unlock: In Settings>Buttons> Wake up devices
Lock: Use double tap status bar to sleep in Settings>display and light
(suggested by @Adarsh1998 )
Solution 5 :
-Intall Xposed Additions module
- Remap buttons i.e. volume button must work as power button
(suggested by @EthicalHacker )
Solution 6:
Fix it by inverting VOLUME_UP and POWER on /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl (root needed)
The changed lines looks like these:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 115 POWER
key 116 VOLUME_UP
Just restart phone and keys will be remapped.
(Suggested by @sebaim )
Hence, there will be no use of power button if any of the above solution is applied.
Is the reboot issue gone after doing this? For my Moto E , it is.
Do comment and reply.
Feel free to help the users by providing other solutions , if you have. I will attach it here. :thumbsUp:

How about going to service center? My mom owns a Moto E and she's pretty much annoyed by the restart issue too.
I am thinking of taking it to service center to see if they can do something.
We can use Xposed Additions module to re-map buttons. It will solve rebooting issue and also won't drain battery.

You can try , but i doubt cuz it can be considered as tampering hardware, however you can convince the service man that the issue is in almost every moto e , i.e. its motorola's fault.

Yes
And so far , after following this guide for days, the problem is solved, the issue was only in power button
Edit solution 4 as by installing Custum Rom
As all rom supports the Double Tap to Sleep...
I didn't had this prob in first case, and then one day, i don't know how, i started to encounter this issue, i tried every possible rom, even stock, but problem was persistent.
And then one fine day, problem just vanished away as if it was never there. (Still couldn't figured out what caused that problem)
Hope this helps ya! Have a good day!

Hi dude?!! I dont know if you ever experiences random reboot.
I got my phone not responding (when touch power or menu button) and i could see the Samsung logo hazy. But always resolve by reboot (hold the power button for 8 seconds)
I didnt root or apply lag fix. Is this probably cause by certain app ??? i use some of optimizer or tweaking app.
Usually this happen when i didnt touch my phone over 2 hours. This is very annoying to me. How could i resolve this problems. Does anyone know? please share!!!

Hello, I have the same issue.
My phone is rooted and i'm using the rom: I9003XXKB1 from Movistar ( spanish operator ).
Compilation number: FROYO.BGKB3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
The phone freezes randomly and i need to force a reboot holding the power button.
Sometimes it directly reboots alone.
Greetings.

Funny ****, got the same issue on my i9000 on 2.3.4 JVP with CF-Root... also had it on Froyo 2.2.1... this sucks big time, any input or hints appreciated.
Try a new fw first and post the results. Dont add anything else then observe. If all else fails, take it to where you bought it from and get a new 1.

I occasionally have a random reboot as well though I haven't had any again after disabling the live wallpaper i had running from GO Weather.
Mine is a GT-9000 / 2.3.3 stock /I9000XXJVO/GINGERBREAD.XWJVH/ stock kernel at the moment
Didn't have the reboots/freezes before the last standard KIES update though.
You said "i use some of optimizer or tweaking app."
I'd say start by disabling/uninstalling all stuff that you don't really need.
Check if there are apps configured to run in the background and disable those as well

I ever think that maybe cause by bad memory management in Froyo, thats why i use that kind of tools.
But, i'll try to get rid of it, and lets see.

["Somebody's" CM10 & "That" rom] Bug/fix reports & newest info (26-Oct-2012)
Firstly, I would like to give a big Thanks to "somebody" as well as the dev team at the behind of these roms for their efforts to bring ISC & JB as great things to our device.
Recently, I've tried both the ICSROM (known as the tune of leaked Rom under CWM flashable zip - Let's click Thanks for Upndwn4par) and "somebody's" CM10 (let's click Thanks for ticiano_arraes) and saw that they both have identical issues as reported by people such as the battery life, the deep sleep, the camera flash... including working fixes. But the fixes spread over the pages of threads caused inconveniences for us to track or update info. So I would like to open new thread just for purpose of collecting bug reports and the fixes from and for both users and our devs to get latest info on these roms quickly.
Admins please feel free to delete if this thread is already opened or if it's just not neccessary.
Belows are lists of great things of ICS/JB given by these roms that you can taste right now, and also the list of bugs/issues along with the best possible solutions that you can try for workaraound while waiting for the perfect release. The lists will be updated upon report from you guys. So please provide any thing from your experiences on these roms.
* Great things:
** For both roms:
+ Touch sensitivity is a big improvement in speed and accuracy (this might be inherited from Butter Project)
+ HDMI mirror works fine.
+ Others (pls share your experiences...)
** Individually for each rom:
ICSROM:
+ Webtop 3.0: work like a charm!
+ New Camera/Camcoder by Motorola with various valued upgrades such as Auto continuous (live) focus mode even for camcoder, full HD capture...
+ FingerPrint scanner @first steps of working (worked but not yet supported by original ICS/JB).
+ New valued apps added, such as Smart Actions (similar to Tasker, Locale but more intuitive/friendly/efficient), MotoPrint (valued add not only for business man but even for home usage), Battery Tracer (for battery monitoring with rich info)...
"Sombody" CM10::
+ All great things from CM10 as you experienced with such as Epinter's rom...
+ Camera/camcoder: worked.
+ 2D hardware accelerator: worked.
+ Data/GPS/Wifi/Bluetooth...: worked fine.
* Bugs/issues and workarounds (Newest update info are sized in big text, this helps you guys to track info more quickly):
1. Camera flash doesn't work properly: (Fixing is in progress...)
- Temporary solution: Turn on the torch while capturing in dark (shouldn't keep the flash on continuously over 5 min for safety of the LED flash light)
2. Deep sleep problem (which causes your phone cannot wake up upon power key pressing): CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device
If this problem still persists on your Atrix, try one of solutions belows:
- Solution 1 (confirmed): Remove the external SD card.
- Solution 2 (Edited: seems not worked): Turn off any screen unlocker (Choose None in Screen Unlock Options)
- Solution 3 (needs more confirmation): Just reboot your phone once or serveral times after rom installation
- Solution 4 (provided by Pont91-unconfirmed):
+put all media files on internal SD;
+deleted all files created by any app on the external SD;
+set internal storage as main one for all the apps data (downloads, photo, rec, backups, etc.).
- Solution 5 (worked with many users): Set Never for Screen Timeout in Settings/Display, remember to press Power button to turn off the screen instead
3. Randomly reboot issue: (the phone suddenly reboots for unknown reason):
- Solution 1: (need more confirmations): Remove the SD card.
- Solution 2 ("Somebody's" CM10) : (need more confirmations): Turn off Wifi :cyclops: There are two guys who provided that:
+ Either turning off Wifi
+ Or set Wifi to NEVER SLEEP (Always on) by: Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wifi Settings/Advanced/Wifi sleep policy
can help stopping reboots. Not only for this problem, but even the issues of heat and deep sleep can also be improved. From their reports, it seems that there is some problem related to the Wifi driver with "those libs". So, try this solution at your own case and help our devs by confirming this way again. Tks.
4. The heat issue (the phone seems to keep hot all the time): The issue seems to walk along with the deep sleep problem, so the issue may be cleared when the fix for deep sleep is applied.
5. The battery life: So bad
Both ICSROM (known as the leaked ICS) and CM10 with "those libs" have an identical problem of battery life. As shown on my phone, the battery drains from 100% downto 50% just after a couple of hours in usual use, even if your phone is in idle state.
No fix yet for this issue But you can apply some of following improvements:
- Lock (freeze) unnecessary AT&T apps and services (ICSROM only)
- Turn off Auto Syn (Manually mode instead)
- Turn off or lock all tracking/reporting sevices you doubt
- Use static wallpaper instead of live one
6. Ram low or several other suggestions only for ICSROM: clike here
7. The I/O performance is a characteristic weakness of both roms which are using "those" libs. You can see this on the results report of Quadrant. Essentially, you can see that the data processing speed is significantly slower than the CM7.2 by using, for e.g, Call Log Backup & Restore, etc...
No yet improvement for this disadvantage of both roms
8. Blackscreen issue after a lock/unlock: CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is now still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device
9. Black incoming call screen and blackscreen issue after a call: CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is now still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device
...Other issues (please share and provide your own solution...)
Thanks for continuous reports from you guys!

Thanks For your report!
My phone is an US AT&T. Installed ICSROM yesterday (WOW!!!) and confirm what you posted.
Biggest bug is the battery. It seems to consume 1% every minute! In an hour I was down to 40% after full charge and using Play Store on wifi. Webtop/Mirror mode works awesome! Watched some HD videos and listened to some music... all good. After using the HDMI connection, I confirm that you will not get black screen until you reboot the phone. Turning off any screen unlocker does not fix the deep sleep bug. 1 reboot. Overall, it is very good.
Keep up the great work and thank you for your efforts! :highfive:

I think I saw some workaround suggested by somebody to turn on the torch before using the camera. This way, you've a constant camera flash
Not sure whether it works as advertised, I've not used this ROM yet.

Anyway, it seems i've stopped deep sleep reboot, with external SD inserted, in this way:
-put all media files on internal SD;
-deleted all files created by any app on the external SD;
-set internal storage as main one for all the apps data (downloads, photo, rec, backups, etc.).
Hope this can help you in some way

Really this fixes the deep sleep bug? Have you made tests for a long time of usual use? Pls confirm.
Can anyone else confirm this fix again?
First of all, thanks for the report.
Regarding the FP reader - what's really working and what isn't? Could someone enlighten me there?
As I'm back to cm7 right now, I would like that if you find any bug/fix, PM me. I will put it on the OP in the dev section.
Oh, btw, the flash workaround was my idea
I heard removing the SD card fixes the reboots.
Sounds like this might be similar to what pont 91 talking about.
Is there any fix for the upside down front camera in "somebody's" cm10?

Not sure if this is a bug with the roms (Somebody's 10/19), but I'm not longer able to track total data usage on my phone. Some apps will show the amount used by individual apps, but none will actually total it up (They all say 0 total data usage).
Woah where you getting October 22 from???

Anyone has experienced problems with the power/lock button? My seems to be loose sometimes. I need to press it two three times before it unlocks. Sometimes on pressing it once it unlocks and locks itself again.
Any similar problems with anyone?
Rooted with stock rom and franco r183
I had this problem on Franco r182 and r183
But no idea whether this is software or hardware related issue!
Thanks in advance!
I've got the exact problem with power button. Maybe it's hardware.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
got the same issue. I have made a work-around by having volume key wake up the device (CM10.2 ROM) and use Screen off and lock from playstore and have a shortcut to lock the screen and use the power button only rarely.
It looks to be a hardware issue. Maybe after sometime I'm planning to open up the phone and see if it can be set right
Make sure you are not undervolting too much. Set the screen-off frequency more than 384 & check if it improves.
I was doing 700mV at 384MHz on screen lock & it was apparently causing the power button to go irresponsive.
Had to press two times to get it recognized.
Please report back what you experience.

hi guys..
Got my new phone at the launching day.. everything runs perfect..
But yesterday and today i encounter a small issue..
please note that i have fingerprint scanner lock on my phone..
when i pressed the home button just to wake the screen, the screen didn't respond.. only the side buttons lid..
the screen remained black after the second press too.. then i pressed the power button once and the screen woke..
the thing was that when i pressed the power button after this incident the home screen game me a third option, apart from emergency calls (left) and alternative password (right), Unlock via Google placed to the middle..
this happened also today twice..
Any suggestions on this ?? did anyone encounter this ??
please note that i didn't use any other locking method except fingerprint scanner and the home button responds fine in any other case.. Thanx..
I randomly get unresponsive touches when trying to open an app in the app drawer folders. Haven't had the home button issue though

im having similar issues while on a call, i cant type in the extension, i touch the number pad and it does nothing. I turn off screen and now it doesnt want to turn back on. Like anything new, there will be a few hiccups, but samsung are usually fast for that first firmware push. I remember for the S4, i got it on launch day and the same day a new firmware was available, the note 3 took about 10 days before that initial firmware that fixed the few most obvious issues. Dont bring it back, just be patient.

Hey man,
Had the same issue with my S5, I think the wait for the fix is easier to handle if you know there are other guys having the same issue rather than having something wrong with your specific device. So imho it'd be great if some other guys would reply just to know it's a common issue.
To me SGS5 is a great phone even with all the rants and reviews against buying it, there will be updates, we just need to be patient.
Thanks for the post!

Had the same issue with my S5, I think the wait for the fix is easier to handle if you know there are other guys having the same issue rather than having something wrong with your specific device. So imho it'd be great if some other guys would reply just to know it's a common issue.
To me SGS5 is a great phone even with all the rants and reviews against buying it, there will be updates, we just need to be patient.
Thanks for the post!

I can confirm that i have similar issues too.
Sometimes (2-3 a day) the screen is not waking up from sleep state when i press the home or the power button.
The solution is that i need to press the power button to sleep the device and then press again or press the home button to wake up.
Not a big deal but i hope that this issue is not hardware related and a firmware fix will solve it.
Apart from this, it's really a great smartphone.
Hi,
Just a small update, the issue replicates also when using the Samsung S View case, just bought one and I still get the same behaviour as with the home and power button (i.e. only the softkeys light up, the screen doesn't wake up).
I haven't been able to consistently replicate though, but it seems to happen after long sleep periods.
All the best!

Hi !
One question.
Which ROM version do you have ?
The ...ANCE, or ANCF ?
thank you all for your replies.. its good to know that its not my device..
Hopefully with the new update they will fix it..
by the way yesterday i missed a call, do to that problem.. the phone was ringing but the screen was sleeping..
So i decided to chance my ROM, from EUR-Greece to NEE-Norther Countries.. Also did a hard factory reset after that.. Volume up + Power + Home.. Also deleted the cache partition..
I used odin.. No problems found.. and Kies recognizes the phone..
So i will check how this goes and get back to you..

I have the XEH G900FXXU1ANCE...
I was just thinking that the G900FXXU1ANCF is maybe a little bit newer, as the build number is higher (1186806) So that's a different rom for sure.
Hello!
I am unable to turn my screen off. When the phone tries to sleep and the screen turns off then it immediately turns back on in a loop forever. The same happens when I turn it off by pressing power button. I have done stock revert via odin and factory reset and the issue persists. I also have tried few other roms and wiped everything. what can I do? Please help me, thank you!
Phone model: Samsung galaxy J5 (00fn) 2015
Currently on stock 5.1
In the logcat screen goes off around 10:12:22.492 and then back on at 10:12:23.012
For others having the same issue; I found a 'better than nothing' solution. Google play - "screen filter" app. First set the icon in a place u remember at your home screen and then set 'screen filter' percentage to lowest and run the app. Voila! If you use a custom rom that supports it or have rooted your phone then you can assign a hardware button to launch that app on/off and if not then use "button mapper" from play store.
OK. I think I have solved this for good(?) On my phone. I have managed to get my screen working NORMAL without using screen filter about five times in a row now after installing new ROMs. If this method works for others I would be glad to hear. This might sound a bit odd but the method goes like this: first thing after installing a ROM I download the screen filter app. Then I press it on and off once. Then I assign the app to long press recents button and I disable all functions from home button except for 'double tap = home'. Then I long pressed the recents button couple times and after that let the screen dim and go off by itself and now my screen works!! I can remove the screen filter app and change the hardware buttons back and it works even after reboot! Unbelievable! Please share your thoughts if this worked for you also. BTW I'm now using resurrection remix official by SoUnd001 so at least for this ROM this trick works. (Customizable hardware buttons make this easy)

Hello!
I've checked your logcat, but I don't know what's the issue due the lack of knowledge. There seems that these two lines appear right after lines related to the display:
Code:
E qdutils : int qdutils::getHDMINode(): Failed to open fb node
E qdutils : int qdutils::getHDMINode(): Failed to find HDMI node
There is also some errors regarding lights.
My questions are:
1) Did you modify that stock ROM in any way or you've been running stock ROM + stock kernel as it is? If you did modify it, what modifications did you make? If you used stock as it is, then the software shouldn't be the culprit for your issue.
2) You've been using screen filter apps before for long time? If yes, maybe this could be the problem. When I've checked the comments at a screen filter app in past, i did read that it harmed the phone of some people. However, might be fake comments as well. You can also search on Google something like: "android does screen filter harm?".
@#Henkate I also noticed those errors but couldn't find out the cause. Thanks for trying to solve!
Q1. Yes it was pure unmodified stock ROM flashed via odin. The issue was still there so I figured it must be hardware related BUT after flashing TWRP I noticed that the screen worked fine in the recovery ie dimmed and went off normal.
Q2. I hadn't heard of the 'screen filter' app before this issue. I think this app actually fixes my issue although the problem returns after installing new ROMs.
Thanks for support! :good:

This is kinda weird. Well, as long as that workaround works...
I also thank you for changing the thread name to "solved" and posting the solution/workaround! There aren't many users like you which does these two things, at least at J5 forum.
Have a nice day!
