Problem with Moto G 5 Plus Haptic Feedback - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello everybody. I'm having an annoying issue with my Moto G 5 Plus wich started recently.
Sometimes when I'm using the keyboard, the low vibration every key does instantly deactivates, including the response of the fingertrip sensor (it still works but it wont vibrate too). After a couple of minutes or hours it starts working again as it should be.
I have the Amazon Ads & Offers version, so I cannot root it yet, I think, and I'm pretty sure its a software issue, as I've seen more posts of the same problem in the Lenovo forums.
Using the phone on secure mode havent presented this problem yet.
Any advice or solution?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. It restarts working if I use one of the Moto Action, for example camera gesture. Sometimes also restart working randomly, as you said. But I've searched some fix, but I didn't found nothing. I'm on potter_n (European model with NFC) so it should be a software bug, but it happens too randomly to say this :/
The only probable cause could be the hot weather of these days.
Did you found something?

Same issue, rooted .

It's probably an issue with the haptic motor. I've had this issue for the past several months, both on stock and custom ROMs. From what I know, it's not an uncommon issue on Potter.

[Q] Phone sensors unresponsive for a few secs when receiving call.

Hello everyone. I've done a few searches on here but haven't found this exact problem. Relevant details without extra background info are in bold.
My wife and I each got an S4 with Sprint's recent BOGO promotion. My phone has had no issues. It came with MDL in the box, which I updated to MF9 via OTA, flashed TWRP via Heimdall in Linux, rooted, and installed the hotspot mod.
Her phone - completely stock MF9 and new from the store - has had problems, one of which I've so far been unable to fix. (How I wish it were mine. I develop for Android, but this is much more of a pain for her.) Hers already had MF9 at the store. It had the Google Services Framework/Core Apps runaway process issue with heat/battery drain from the start - which I fixed. However, it also has unresponsive sensors for ~3 seconds when receiving a call. It's almost as if there's some lag in activating the sensors. The phone is otherwise snappy with no other lag noted.
- Hard reset has been tried.
- The touchscreen is unresponsive during this time, though the display functions.
- The gesture for answering (when enabled) also does not work.
- We haven't tried enabling the home key to answer, but this will be next.
I've seen this before with Android a good while back. It was an inherent problem with Gingerbread on many phones. Haven't seen it pop up in Jellybean at all. In trying to diagnose, I've ensured that all bells and whistles are turned off. No air gestures are on.
We'd really like to get it working as it should. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?
Many thanks!
I believe this is more of a stock software issue. I have had the issue since day one.
When I turned off svoice and some of the other added features most of the lag disappeared. Svoice is pretty good at creating lag as far as ive seen.
Voice response seems to create th lag as it is awaiting a voice command from you.
This is what I have noticed anyway.

[Q] Trouble with Quick Glance

Hi,
Note 3 on Kitkat.
Having problems with Quick Glance for past month or so. It is very inconsistent. Doesn't work half the time. I have to turn off the Air Gesture feature and back on for it to start working again.. but it just stops randomly after that.
I searched the board and someone suggested its the app Vevo which disturbs QG. The only problem is, I don't have Vevo installed. Never did.
Any other suggestions?
TIA

Same problem
Seems to be a software issue. A bug maybe... I don't use quick glance anyways as it turns the screen on more when i don't need it than when I actually do, hopefully, new updates will fix it.

G-keyboard randomly stops reading touches

So both me and my Gf have the Moto G4 Plus. For about 4 weeks now we're both having the same issue where the onscreen keyboard stops working while texting and you just have to minimize the keyboard and bring it back for it to start working again.
Her phone is only about 6 weeks old but I got mine just after launch. I've done a factory reset on mine already and the issue is still there. So any tips or tricks anyone can suggest?
I'm using the stock messenger app and the stock keyboard on both phones, just an FYI
I can confirm this bug with Gboard.
It didn't happen when it was just Google keyboard. Sometimes, the glide to type and auto correct also stops working.

I have the same issue on stock rooted marshmallow, and my wife has the same problem on 100% stock unrooted. Hopefully Google will fix it soon. The problem does not occur with other keyboards.
Confirmed on stock g4+, random bug
I have two moto G4 Plus, both are stock and demonstrating the same issue. I've had it happen in my email, but 90% of the time it is while texting. Also happens with two other kboard apps, not just Gboard.

[Discussion] What are your problems with the 5T?

I have had this phone for more than 4 months now, and I have 2 problems with it (both software), which OnePlus failed to fix over several updates, even though they are aware of these problems.
My first problem is the panorama mode. This phone makes just the worst panoramas. My hands are a little shaky, and the pictures that come out are completely unacceptable (even though it doesn't have ois) for a "flagship killer". I had a Nexus 5X before, which made almost always perfect panoramas with a much worse camera. I feel like the devs put the panorama mode in the camera just so that it has the feature, but didn't spend any time on the algorithm.
My second problem, which is the bigger one is about bluetooth. First of all, the phone had/has a weird bug where if you turn on the bluetooth then go to the bluetooth menu to choose which device you want to connect to (either by long pressing the bt icon in the notification bar or from the settings app), the ui would freeze and you have to wait a half-a-minute or so, for the ui manager to restart (in older versions of oos, the phone itself restarted). Now in 5.1.1 it doesn't do this as often as it used to, but it still happens. The second issue with bluetooth is connectivity. Sometimes when I have my headset turned on and I turn on bluetooth on the phone it connects right away (like it should) and I am happy.
Other times (most of the time actually) I have to manually select which device I want to connect to (bringing us back to freezing), and even then it still takes a couple tries for the phone to succesfully connect.
So these are my 2 issues with this phone, I hope they will get fixed soon. I feel like the dev team is always working on the next phone after release, and they don't spend anywhere near enough man-hours on released device support.
Other than these, I'm loving this device, it's fast, has great battery life and does everything well.
Do you have these bugs, do they bother you or do you have any other problems with the phone you would like to share?

I have to ask but have you done any factory resets? Never once heard of either of these issues

Yes, I have, I clean installed 5.1.0. I read about both problems on the OnePlus forums, so I guess it's not just me. But I can try when I have some time to reinstall the phone. Btw, I am running oos 5.1.1 rooted, nothing else, so I don't think that is the problem.

Dont know about the panaroma mode but i face no issues like you mentioned regarding Bluetooth.
Try flashing an OOS based custom rom and see how that treats you.
my only main issue with this phone is the oil painting effect.

The way the Alert Slider works and how we can't customize it to our needs. But I guess this is a problem with all OnePlus phones.

U tried this?

Things I am not comfortable with are
1). Notification dropdown works even on lock-screen.
2). you can power off the device from Lock-screen.
Both are security concerns as someone can turn wi-fi and data off or power down the device if found or stolen.

SYSTEM UI ISN'T RESPONDING

The problem arose in the first week of January.
Then I have done necessary criteria to have a custom rom.
But the roms failed to work properly in my phone. Mostly, with every rom, the SOUND was not working,
Then I have installed PE 10 PLUS, and it worked fluently without an issue.
But recently, with the PE 10 PLUS rom, the phone started to misbehave again and the apps are showing errors time to time
like, " X app is not responding", "SYSTEM UI ISN'T RESPONDING" .
And the phone freezes and gets restarted.
I don't think there is a sound IC issue, because, with PE rom, the sound was perfect.. So, what can be the issue and what i have to do?

Hey, I have the same issue with accessing mic speaker and sometimes camera too... I thought it's some IC issue. Let me know if any ROM gets around this issue

Hi there. I used PE 10+ after facing the issue. Around one month, it was okay, but after the month, it started the same issue again, saying, "System UI IS NOT RESPONDING" then everything became unable to use.
Testing many roms, I found Evolution UI latest version working. please be noted, the roms has several bugs and SOT is lesser than the roms I used before.
