G2 screen behaving erratically! Help!

This morning my g2 started going crazy. The touchscreen started behaving erratically. It is displaying erratic scrolls and touches. screen is behaving wildly.
Here is a video illustrating the issue, http://youtu.be/oCjxIYkrZj8
I have a Tmobile variant with Cloudy g3 ROM installed. I have had the phone for three months and installed the Cloudy G3 rom a few weeks back and everything was running fine, it just started this morning.
I factory reset the phone but still getting the problem, I get the same problem even when I am in recovery. Could this be a hardware problem?
Has anyone had this issue? Any help would be highly appreciated. I currently have turned off my phone cause it is almost useless

I noticed that when I plug mine to some other (rather old) charger it starts to do the same thing on my screen and unpluged it immediately! and fortunatelly the effect faded away in few hours. I don't know if you kept it for a long time, could this be a permanent
P.S.
...just a long shot: try deplete your battery fully, leave phone off for some time, and fully charge it with the original charger

In the morning it was acting like that..I kept the phone off for a few hours and then I noticed that it was working fine for some time and then it went back to being erratic. So I turned it off again.
Now I am charging from the original charger and so far it is working okay. Let's see if it stays that way. Just praying I haven't damaged it permanently.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] Mhl_wake killing battery

Randomly out of the blue I started getting mhl_wake draining my battery, it's stopping my phone from deep sleeping and never stops running. It just happened randomly and haven't changed anything. Reboots do nothing as it just starts again, is there something I can do?

In fact, less than a week ago, there was an intermittent charge problem. Even if I plugged in to the charger for the whole day, the battery never reached 80%.. So I took it to the repair shop. The tech tried to replaced with the new port two times and still had the same issue. We tried a brand new battery too. So I came back with the original port. Now, the charging has become faster after doing the factory data reset. But I figured out the mhl_wake causing the battery drain continuously with the help of BetterBatteryStats app. I wanted to root my device as well as access the internal storage but unfortunately my laptop or any other PC doesn't detect my device at all. I am suspecting bigger hardware problem unless it is a bug in the code. Btw, I am running the official AT&T Lollipop code only.

One more info, the battery draining stops when the cache is cleared from storage settings or formatted in the recovery mode. But it is temporary workaround only because the battery starts draining due to mhl_wake wakelock after sometime.

You have the memory leak bug( all that i know if a process is doing a heavy usage,even if you kill it [force stop] then its memory leak bug)

[Help] Moto X Play won't show it is charging but the battery is working properly.

So, 2 days ago I was charging my device (XT - 1562 Indian Version 16GB) and when I saw the phone after 2 hours the battery was still at 15%... so I got into the battery options to check if the battery was charging and it was showing "Not charging"(SS attached) so I rebooted my phone and it was still showing not charging, I also did a factory reset and still the problem was not solved so I booted into the fastboot mode and there it was showing that the battery is charging. I was confused so I thought that there may be a firmware problem(6.0), so I downloaded factory images of 6.0.1 and flashed them(the BL was locked) and still the problem was there then I unlocked the BL and flashed 5.1.1 and problem still persists. Guys pls help me. :crying:
Also please tell me how can I flash 6.0.1 again via Fastboot mode. I am still at stock 5.1.1
Edit : Update : Now I have installed a custom ROM (CM 13.1 by Temasek) and now the phone is charging like it should but it charges till 82~85% and then stops charging. Cant give the phone to the service center because I unlocked the BL.

Thanks for the reply bro. I have updated the thread so can you tell me what is the problem.

are you using the original charger and cable ?? charge the Device when it's off then turn onforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782420

I'm having this exact same problem on my xt1575. I bought it from a nice dude on Swappa, but he seemed pretty green concerning phones in general. He rooted/unlocked it, then appears that he kept the stock ROM while flashing the franken kernel. I didn't notice this for the first day or two as I opened it and poked around for some signs of something loose/water damage: nothing.
I couldn't sleep last night, so all morning I've been doing what I can to play around with clearing caches, flashing different ROMs, and anything else I can find in the software side, but aside from somehow getting it to get past the previous cap of 4% to a whopping 25% before slamming down to 11% (percentages waver constantly), I'm stuck and desperate to figure it out. I've even tried the stock turbo charger, the stock charger for an old Moto X 2014, and as of writing this just now a Samsung quick charger for the giggles.
I have parts for all kinds of Moto X 2014/Nexus 6 lying around, so I took the risk of connecting a Moto X 2014 battery up to see how it behaved. It read the battery level around mid-seventies and didn't seem to drop at any exaggerated rate but still kind of bounced around a tad. It would charge at times, but otherwise still wouldn't show the battery as being charged. I didn't think too much of it because the 2014 is of course a different model at a much smaller capacity, so I didn't want to try leaving it on the charger for fear of overcharging. The only thing left that I haven't done is hook up the Play battery to another motorola because I don't have any screens to monitor progress and see how consistently it reads to determine if it's the battery that's somehow gone wonky.
So in summation/where I'm at right now: I'm having this same problem; I've tried both hardware and software tinkering to no avail; I feel this is still somehow kernel/software related, but I'm not sure how to completely obliterate everything to start from stock. Please forgive how scatterbrained I am right now, I'm tired yet wide awake and irritated with the whole situation; there's NOTHING I can find in the forums or elsewhere outside of stock replies like "are you using the original charger?"

My moto x play not change in normal it only charge in factory mode that to 75-82℅ only.

Let it discharge fully then put on charge without booting up

I have tried after battery fully drain, still it's not charging again I am charging mobile in factory mode. Is there any solution please help me. In factory mode i am not getting signal.

So no change in behavior. I did notice that when in TWRP that the CPU Temp value is crazy, and any reporting software says the battery is at -23.8° C and always cold, even on a brand new replacement battery (obviously send like that is what's keeping it from charging). I even went as far as to put a heat gun on it from a distance to artificially actuate any sensors and got nothing. The one time it did report normal temps it charged fine for a whole day but hasn't returned to normal since. This **** is maddening...

I know this is a long shot, but have you tried resetting the battery stats?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699687

I had this problem but yesterday I can solve that
First I put stock firmware
Wait for fully discharge
And wait full shutdown
I put an moto g 2013 charger (550mA 5V)and led stay on around 5 min but not charge
After put Nokia n86 charger (1A 3.5V)5 min and not charge
After i put an orginal moto turbo charger
And start to charge wait for 9%
Turn on the phone
Clear battery stats with battery calibration app
Wait for full discharge
Wait for full turn off
I put a Nokia n86 charger wait 5 minutes vibrates and start to charge like the beginning

Any other suggestions or solutions? Still my phone only charges in recovery mode. I have a aukey fast charger. Tried different kernels and roms without success.
The solution with the nokia chargers seems really strange and i dont have that type of charger.
Regards

Someone fixed this? I have the same problem and can't solve it. I have cm 13 by temasek and the first time the x play charged up to 83% but after a full discharge and a clean of battery stats, I olny could charge it via factory mode, like in stock 6.0.1

I dont know why but after i opened the phone and disassembled the battery it worked after putting it back together. Disconnected the cable to mainboard as well as nfc antenna. Then carefully pried the battery out. Its slightly glued to the mb. Then I held power button down for a few sec as read in a different forum. Afterwards I connected power cable back but left the battery next to the phone. Booted the phone and charging worked. Than I reassembled the phone Ehen I was sure everything worked. I was about to change the battery but now it works. I flashed different Roms and kernels without any improvment before. After I got it working I flashed a nandroid backup of a resurection Rom image that didnt worked before. Now its running perfect.

So, may the problem be in the pins when the battery is plugged into the mb? I'll try that! thanks!

Still having this issue, the solution with the chargers didn't work for me, neither the battery solution, suggestions?

How to solve the problem?
Please

Same issue
My Moto X Play has the same issue. It will only charge in Factory Mode. I had this issue before at 10-11 months old and had it 'fixed' under warranty, now 2-3 months later the same issue has occurred. Of course the warranty is only 1 year...
Glad I am not alone in this issue but i wish there was an easy fix! Putting me off getting another Moto...

Same problem occurred with me( Moto X Play).
My phone was not charging, it was stuck in some percentage and was not increasing or neither decreasing while plugged in to charger. But when i put it into recovery mode, it charges. But that was not the solution to the problem.
So, i have tried factory reset.
but problem was not solved.
i googled for the solution, but couldn't find the right solution. And i was stressed (I have a girlfriend, and living in very distance relationship, for me a smartphone is very important).
And was thinking of buying a new phone but not the Motorola, but couldn't afford at the time.
At the same time, i thought of repairing it by myself, by fixing the battery properly.
Without thinking about voiding the warranty and Motorola support, i unbolt every screw of the phone. and finally , finally, finally i made it by removing the battery and fixing it again(charger was plugged while removing the battery and fixing, and phone switched off while removing).
And now my phone is charging properly.
Hope I have helped every person concern to this same problem.
Thank you

Critical issue with Android 6.0 on DT2

Now that my DT2 updated to 6.0, it has developed a showstopping problem. It instantly powers off at random times, usually when I'm using it. Worse, the power button is ineffective at restarting the phone. The only way to restart it is to plug it into a power source and then press the Power button after it acknowledges that it's charging.
It used to do it only one or twice per day, but now it's doing it constantly.
I've already performed a factory reset and then a cache wipe, with no change.
Verizon confirms that it's happened to others, so it's not just me.
Is it possible to revert my DT2 back to Android 5.1.1?
Has anyone else here experienced this, or have any suggestions, before I tell Verizon to send me a new phone?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me, especially if it did it prior to the update as well.

I should have mentioned, it never happened in 5.1.1.

yep, i'm having this issue as well since i updated to 6.0 three weeks ago. started about 3 days after the update, i plugged my phone in over night and i woke up to it dead. couldn't get it to charge worth anything. would only go to 4% and stop. using original charger. won't go into turbo charge. stopped by the store and picked another charger and a portable battery and used the pre-charge on the battery and it finally started charging again, but not at the turbo rate it should have. it drained the pre-charge and got to about 45%. plugged in in once i got home and it still didn't see turbo charge, took about 6 hours to finish charging. over the next few days it was still slow to charge and would randomly lock up and then reboot itself. a few days later i woke up to the phone almost dead again, even though it was plugged and showed charging all night.
did some research, found more people with the same issue. Lenovo/Moto and Verizon support all suggested put it in safe mode, then see if it still does then same thing when all the third party apps are disabled. did this and yes, it still charged slowly, and while plugged in it the battery was still discharging (percentage number was dropping... pretty quickly). the next idea was a factory reset. haven't done that one yet myself.
here is a page to one of the lenovo threads about. seems to be the main on there at this point .
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/DROID-TURBO-2-by-Motorola/Turbo-2-won-t-charge/td-p/3261260

I just posted this thread in the general forum for the DT2. Wasn't sure if you'd tried this yet or not - but solved many issues for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo-2/general/cqatest-app-marshmallow-causes-issues-t3386929

I also had issues with my DT2 charging. After upgrading to MM, the quick charge was sporadic, and it wouldn't work. Then I had issues with the charging port in general. If i barley wiggled the cable it would not charge, or send files via a computer.
I went up to a local Verizon store, explained my issue, and i had a replacement phone in about 3 days. They ran a special test to test all of the hardware on my phone, and sure enough when it got to the last test, which was the usb port, it failed.
I received the replacement phone with MM already installed, and have not had any issues with the usb port...so far. LOL

I ended up sending my phone back to Motorola; just got it back and it's till got 6.0 on it. It repeated this showstopper behavior twice today. NOT HAPPY.

S7 Edge Blacked Out And Not Turning On

Okay, so i bought my S7E in july, it worked perfectly for a few months, until in october it began freezing and turning off so i restpred my old TWRP backup but that didn't fix it.
Then, in november it completely blacked out while booting so the notification led was on, draining the battery so i could get it fixed.
After this it again began freezing, then a few days ago it completely blacked out with no signs of turning on, i haven't been able to do anything to fix it too.
I know there have been many other pople with this problem of freezing but none i found had progressed so far so i could not find any solutions.
Please help.
P.S- I had both root and xposed installer in it so i dont think i can go to the servicing center (Also i have gone to servicing centers 3 times before for other gadgets and i got all of them back,ynrepaired. So i think my best bet is to fix it on my own.)
Thanks

Have you tried leaving it just on Charge (plug) for a day? I had this issue with other mobiles. Was successful with overnight charge even though battery charging notification wouldn't appear until later.
