I would like to start this out by saying that I have had my Bravo since January 16, and have loved every minute of it. This has been my first Android (Came over from my iPhone 3G). I was extremely excited to finally get the upgrade to 2.2, even though I decided to wait to officially download it OTA.
Since I got my phone, I had no more than three to five apps force close on my using the stock launcher. I rarely noticed much of any lag while working with my phone, and I never once had any issues with the phone rebooting itself on me.
Since I updated my phone on Saturday I've been plagued with all of these issues. Immediately after updating, I noticed my phone was running very hot, and my battery drained to 50% within an hour or two without me even running anything stressful on it. I restarted it twice and since then I haven't noticed any significant issues with my battery, or the phone seeming to run it's processor excessively.
But, I have constant lag, making tasks that were extremely quick and easy before the weekend be significantly more difficult and frustrating. Today I've even noticed that the lag is so bad that I am not even able to use Swype because the phone takes so long to register any touch's it doesn't register anything other than the first and last letter I swyped across. In addition, my phone has rebooted itself 3 times within the last three days I've been using it, an issue that has not happened once in the three months before this weekend.
I will regularly be trying to do things on my phone and it will lag, causing the phone to freeze for 20-30 seconds at a time, and then trying to perform every touch it received in those 20-30 seconds in a scant second after it recovers.
I have noticed some issues not regarding lag, but sometimes it has been difficult for my phone to initiate calls. I have tried to call my wife, and it took 5 times before the call would finally go through, it was immediately ending the call right after I pressed the call button.
I love my phone and the capabilities of the Android system. Until now I haven't had any problems at all with it. Can you help me try to figure out what's happening, and if there are any ways to fix my phone? I haven't gotten around to rooting my phone since I've gotten it, but have been planning on it.

Something probably is messed up in the upgrade process.
Simple solution, flash the 2.2 sbf and you should be good.
roadkizzle, Something doesn't sound right at all with your update. I would try to remove the battery for a minute and reboot. If you still have issues I would try a factory data reset. If that doesn't cure your ills then flashing the 2.2sbf as bandroidx suggested may be in order.
Alright, I flashed the SBF file to the phone through RSDLite, and from what I can see it went through correctly. My only question now is do you think I'll need to try to re-install the full update? Or is that similar to what I did?

flashing the sbf already updated your phone to 2.2. You don't need to do anything else
I hope reflashing did the trick for you. That experience sounds nasty...

Well, after a couple of hours of playing with my phone it's seeming better. I have been playing a few games of Worms, and my normal surfing the internet and so far I haven't noticed any real lag. The test will be my day through tomorrow.
I was just really confused because I was following the instructions from the Flashing SPRecovery SBF to a Motorola Droid youtube video, and his SBF file really seemed to only change the recovery screen. It looked like he still had to go through the actual update.zip process to make the actual updates to his phone.
Alright it's official, flashing the sbf did not fix the lag issues. My phone hasn't had a critical malfunction and reboot itself yet today, but the lag is unbearable.
roadkizzle, It sounds like you are still having issues. If you look at the system version in "about phone" in settings menu does it say version 37.4.0.MB520??
Yes, it says Version.37.4.0.MB520.ATT.en.US

what apps do you have installed?
look in task master and get rid of any auto-ends and reboot and see if that makes a difference
Well, immediately after removing the AT&T apps from the auto-end list and rebooting, I thought I noticed some lag initially, but I've let it run for a few days now doing everything I was before and I've not been having any of those issues recently.
I'm not sure what it was. I wasn't very aggressive adding apps to my auto-end list, really just Maps and the AT&T apps. I added maps after a while because when I would use it once it would stay open and I'd notice later on that it would have been a major consumer of my battery, and I couldn't figure out how to close it fully.
Glad to hear things are going better. I had some issues totally unrelated to the apps I had in auto-end but pulling all of them off of auto-end got rid of the issues. Froyo is supposed to minimise the need for having to add apps to auto-end in task manager. Regards

roadkizzle - my situation sounds very similar to yours and I wanted see if you are also seeing a couple of other symptoms I've seen beyond what you have indicated. This has been an issue from early on for me. At first it seemed to be associated to when the battery was low, but it is now ever increasingly interrupting my use of the phone. I was hoping 2.2 might resolve some of this, but it hasn't.
Background: Purchased/activated phone early Jan 2011; recently upgraded to the 2.2 sys and used the official channels; all apps I've added are lightweight stuff (ex: notepad-type stuff, weather widget) and I have pushed most unused stuff to the auto-end list.
Similar symptoms: I see the same power drain and high CPU usage when using maps/navigator (really evident on a recent trip). Still monitoring if some of that can be attributed to use of the GPS.
I'm getting a similar lag though I wish it was only for the short period you are seeing. I've only rarely been able to just put the phone down and have it responsive when I get back to it. Maps/Navigator were especially susceptible to this problem, and it seemed consistent with the 90%+ CPU usage often seen when they are running.
I don't use swipe, but the keypad is most often what is being used when the lag kicks in... the entire phone just goes completely unresponsive, including any and all other input such as the hardware home/back keys, etc.
In addition: Better than half the time that the qwerty touchpad becomes unresponsive, I see sporadically entered random keystrokes to my messages... everything from initiating the voice input to entering several dozen spaces or just simple random characters. This happens at a random, often changing rate and I see the keys lighting up and the haptic responses happen as if I were touching the keys, but they are not from any delay in the input. Once ruling out an exorcism, this has started me thinking I might have a hardware issue with the touchpad. The phone has not been dropped or roughed up in any way, so if it is HDWR, it's a manuf issue.
Luckily.... in 99% of the cases where this happens, using the HDWR power button to cycle the screen through a sleep and back resolves the issue. Not a big deal unless you have to do it 3 times to send one text/mail. This has me constantly thinking about items on the auto-end list but I have not unearthed anything to support that.
The other 1% of the time I have had to reboot the phone, but in those cases I can't rule out 'user issues' due to just pure frustration. Task Manager has become my most freq used app, but often I see everything at 0% CPU and/or not running.
I'm wondering if any of these additional symptoms sound familiar...
thx.

Try taking things off of the auto-end list. You shouldn't need the task killer because android manages apps on its own (it's supposed to manage apps better in froyo than in 2.1)
I've also had lag, especially when opening maps (the first time I open maps it often force closes).
Can anyone get the "lock pattern" screen without the slide to unlock? It seems like a common "Motorola 2.2" issue, but I can't figure out if it gets resolved through an update or not

Thought I would share this here - though I believe this is effecting other Moto models as well.
The Moto app "CQATest" seems to be the culprit with major instability issues I've had since the Android Marshmallow update. Before the update, my phone was so smooth and fast. Then the update came, and I blamed it on Marshmallow. Screen response to anything was very slow. Sometimes completely unresponsive. If i tried to touch a notification in my notification bar, it might be 5-10 seconds later before anything would happen, and the app would open. Sometimes it wouldn't ever open at all. Or when Facebook did open, it might take another 10-15 seconds before it went to the item it had notified me about. The camera in particular was slow to respond - with visible lag whenever trying to take a video - or would just crash. The phone itself got into a fairly normal habit of rebooting itself several times a day. And on startup, sometimes it would take 3-5 minutes before it would finally get to the home screen. Simply unacceptable.
So yesterday I started Googling for answers, and ran across a thread on Android Forums talking about issues people were having with CQATest. I immediately went and found the app in the settings>applications menu, under "All Apps" - force stopped and disabled it, then rebooted.
Guess what? The phone boots normally again! And the general responsiveness and functionality are back to what it was prior to the Marshmallow update. I couldn't be more pleased right now - because I was getting very frustrated with what is a relatively new phone.
I'd be interested if others have experienced something similar? Or are having similar lag issues and try this solution to see if it works for you.
Mods - if this CAN be confirmed, it really should be shared with ALL Moto users who've been upgraded to Marshmallow and have similar issues. The Android Forums thread user was originated by someone on the Moto X for instance.
Thanks for your time and feedback.
Do you have any misbehavior since you've disabled CQA Test? Like something doesn't work... Are you getting better battery life? I think you should.
I have Moto X Force, didn't touch app and system is smooth, stable with great battery life. I suppose you have Turbo 2.
No apparent issues with anything else since disabling it that I can see. And yes, I'm on a DT2.

I have had CQA Test disabled before and after Marshmallow and notice no misbehavior. I also have been using advanced calling since i got the phone on launch day and have never had a problem with the call quality as others have.
CQATest not causing problems on my Droid Turbo(1)
I just got a refurb Droid Turbo on Marshmallow, and I've had others. I was experiencing some of those same issues that you described.... extremely slow boot and shutdown, and lag on launching apps or other screen clicks.
I just disabled the following and was amazed at the speedy boot time and responsiveness:
CQATest
Amazon (old app.... new one is Amazon Shopping)
Connect
Message+ (verizon sms)
Mobile Hotspot
After that first boot, I re-enabled CQATest and have rebooted several times since. It still seems fast and responsive. I've got a boot time of 35 seconds to the home screen, shutdown time of about 10 seconds.
Just to check, I disabled CQATest again, shutdown and started. The times are the same as above. I was hoping to explore the CQA menu, but haven't been able to so far. I've got USB debugging enabled, but not plugged into a computer. I'll look for answers in other threads.

My DT2 was suffering from slow-downs for a couple weeks, then suddenly had the random shutdown and power-only-on-charge scenario yesterday. I was getting ready to do a factory reset.
On one of the reboots, I had a notification about CQA test. When I acknowledged it, I got notifications that "CQATest wants to access this," and "CQATest wants to access that." I denied them all and started hunting up this app I'd never heard of. That's when I came across this thread. I disabled CQATest, but still had the problem. I then remembered that the "old" Amazon app had just updated. I force-closed it, disabled it, and now the phone is back to normal. I see no need for CQATest, so I'm leaving that disabled, but I firmly believe that the Amazon app was culprit.
EDIT: I may have typed to soon. The phone shut off randomly twice today, requiring connection to a power cord to bring it back to life. It does, however, remain powered up upon disconnection (for now?).:-/ I did not clear the cache after deactivating those apps, though, so we'll see if that does the trick.

Hi there.
Backstory: My DT2 is almost 3 years old. I already had to send it back to Motorola once for a camera issue, but generally I didn't have any major performance issues for the first year and a half or so. Then it started to decline. Namely OS was taking longer to respond, battery life declining. Then when it was about 2 years old it began the random shutdowns. For the last several months I haven't really had the random shutdowns, however, my battery has been pitifully horrible at holding a charge, and it will usually shut down before the battery indicator hits 0%. First it was around 15%, gradually getting worse. Now it often shuts down between 30-40%, especially if I haven't been on battery saver since disconnecting from the charger.
Now today, I ran down my battery within a few hours to about 30% and it shut off, which was not abnormal. However, upon connecting to charger and attempting restart, the battery indicator jumped from 30 up to 40, then down to 4. Got a weird screen before startup that looked like a system error screen and was afraid it was going into factory reset without my prompting it. Pressed the power key once briefly and the phone went into normal startup, but when it turned on, CommServer was stuck in notifications bar and battery indicator was stuck at 3%, similar story to the others in this thread and others.
I disabled the apps suggested by GeckoDad, and so far the phone can operate, but I've had it plugged in for maybe 30 minutes and it's still hanging out at 3%. Was planning to get a new phone soon, but had hoped to wait another month or two... Probably going to head over to Verizon this afternoon to see if they have any suggestions to keep my DT2 alive until I'm able to replace it.
Most of the time, my Note 7 is instantly responsive no matter how heavily loaded it is.
Every few hours, though, it gets into a mode with serious UI-feedback lag. In this mode, when I tap any key or icon, the corresponding click-and-vibration feedback is delayed by up to one or two seconds. Often I can type several characters with no feedback, followed a second later by a rapid-fire sequence of the delayed clicks and vibrations.
When the phone is in lag mode, the lag occurs in all apps and with both keyboards I've tried (Samsung and Google). And it's not just during typing; tapping on any icon produces the same lag. Lag mode is not fixed by closing all apps, turning on Airplane mode, clearing the clipboard, switching to a different keyboard app, or clearing the keyboard cache or data. (Clearing the clipboard did seem to fix the problem on one occasion, but not subsequently.)
Rebooting the phone does fix the problem--until it comes back again a few hours later. I've tried booting into recovery and clearing the system cache, but the problem still comes back in a few hours. I have not had time to try a factory reset. But the phone is completely stock (APH1), no power-saving turned on, no debloating or esoteric settings or apps.
As I said above, most of the time the phone doesn't have this problem, no matter how many apps are running. And when the lag occurs, the phone is not hot and is not draining the battery. So it's not a matter of the phone being overloaded; rather, it's a specific bug in the UI feedback.
The problem arises at seemingly random times. I have not noticed any pattern as to what triggers it.
Here's a video demonstrating the problem, both for typing and for icon-tapping:
https://vid.me/iYya
And just for contrast, here's a video of the phone when it's working properly, with no UI-feedback delay:
https://vid.me/GF82
Again, when the phone is in lag-mode, it lags in all apps, for typing and for all icon-taps, etc. The videos show only one particular app for illustration.

I exactly have the same issue u clearly described above. My phone lags intermittently and no matter what I do, it doesn't go away. After some time, magically it comes back to normal.
Not sure how to fix this.. very frustrating!

Same thing for me as well. I've heard whispers it's an AT&T thing. Been trying to fix by turning off Battery Optimizer for certain apps and using package disabled. I've noticed it's most consistently caused by locking and unlocking again within a specific time window. Like if you're using the phone, then you put it to sleep, and come back within about 10 min, it does it's lag mode.
If anyone who's having this specific UI-lag problem tries a factory reset, please report whether or not the problem comes back after that.
I did the factory reset multiple times but it didn't solve the lag issue..

After the factory reset, did you restore using backups (e.g., smart switch, directly transferring SD card) or did you set up as a new phone. I was having very bad lag. I used Smart Switch the first time. After a factory reset and rebuilding from scratch (without Smart Switch) my lag problem is gone. There is some discussion of this over at Android Central.

Thanks. That's disappointing but important to know, both diagnostically and also to save everyone else the effort of duplicating the attempt.
I'd be very curious to see if an unlocked (no AT&T bloat) N7 has the same issue on AT&T. If I get a N7, I'm hoping to wait until unlocked versions become available.
I have the same problem. It's the only thing I don't like about the phone. Hopefully they will update it soon.
All samsung phones has that. A new custom rom will fix it.
Same problem, sprint... Stock, TouchWiz. Switched to nova and it doesn't seem to have helped much.
I'm finding the problem may be gone. It hasn't shown up in the last 48 hours (compared to several times a day up until then).
There's nothing I'm aware of doing differently now, other than having turned off Report Diagnostic Info in Settings|General Management. I'm skeptical that that has anything to do with the reversal (but not quite skeptical enough to try turning it back on just yet).
Perhaps the improvement is due to an app update, or perhaps it's a delayed effect of clearing the system cache (though the problem did crop up once or twice after the cache-clearing, before it stopped occurring). Has anyone else seen the problem go away?
UPDATE: The feedback-lag returned after about 60 hours. Again, no obvious trigger. Very annoying.
Hi guys,
I am having similar issues. Most of the times the UI is pretty smooth, but intermittently it starts lagging, opening apps takes 1-2 secs and scrolling the pages isnt smooth, its very annoying esp considering the device is barely few days old. Need some fix to this, or its a dead investment!

Wait, are you talking about the same feedback problem that this thread is about? Taking a second to load an app isn't necessarily unreasonable. But a one-second lag for haptic feedback defeats the whole purpose of the feedback and is clearly a bug.

What i mean is that the lag isnt just restricted to feedback, the phone seems to stutter overall, scrolling on pages and apps is jittery. And this is noticeable since when it doesn't occur the phone is buttery smooth! I tried the google now launcher and it still persists. Turning the animations to 0.5x didnt help either.
Oh ok. Yeah, I'm using the Google Now launcher too. For me, the lag problem disappeared about 58 hours ago though. Just out of curiosity, do you have Report Diagnostic Info enabled in Settings|General Management?
UPDATE: The lag came back after about 60 hours.
Just for completeness, I should mention that after the phone went into lag mode, I also tried turning haptic/audio feedback off and then back on. But the lag did not stop.

ONLY when I initially power-up the phone, do I sometimes (often enough to be a nuisance but far from consistent) get a significant lag on the "Secure start-up" page of the keyboard appearing where I enter my passcode. There have been a small handful of times that, no matter what I did in terms of waiting or tapping, the keyboard would not appear causing me to do a power-off/restart which always cleared the issue.
Most of the time I wait until the screen flashes a brighter light before tapping ( just a few seconds) and (most of the time) the keyboard appears. It will also appear frequently on its own if you just wait long enough.
The problem is the inconsistency of the keyboard not appearing reasonably quickly so I can enter my passcode and go on with my life's journey at that point!
I have chosen NOT to use the fingerprint entry system for a number of reasons and prefer using the above system.
My one desire is to have the keyboard appear as quickly as is reasonably possible and do so consistently.
Other that that specific issue, I love this phone!
I did search for this issue and did not see anything approximating it. If I missed then please accept my humble apology for any duplication with this query.
Bootup times can vary. And with Verizon bloat I'm sure it is wildly more inconsistent. I rarely.run into this issue, but I also rarely reboot my phone. Perhaps a cache clear might help? Don't know what else to do besides factory reset but sure you don't want to do that. I just rooted my phone and haven't noticed any performance issues aside from battery life seeming worse. Not related to root though as i updated to 10j Sunday, rooted last night and hoping battery life goes back to what it was on 10d.
Just for some clarification, what do you mean by power up? Is it turning the phone off completely and restarting it or just clicking the power button ( or double tap the screen).
If its a boot up, then its usual normal to have the keyboard take a moment to pop up due to everything loading
If its the second then try using a different keyboard or factor resetting the phone

"Is it turning the phone off completely and restarting it..." Yes, that is the only time(s) it happens.
I grasp the idea of "loading" but cannot (equally) grasp the inconsistent amount of time that it takes for the keyboard to materialize. The few times where no keyboard appearing leading to a reboot deepens the mystery for me.
If the extended loading time is due (largely) to verizon bloat, is there a safe way to rid oneself of as much of it as possible?

Of course, you can disable the apps by going into Setting>General tab>Apps. From there you just find the Verizon apps and disable as much of them as possible. Which stops them from booting when you restart.
One thing to keep in mind when powering up the device is a few programs want to start up at the same time (like your wallpaper, getting signal from service provider, loading the apps on your screen, loading widgets, etc). Which causes the keyboard to be pushed but back in a queue. Happens to me all the time, but I only restart my phone once every week and I give it a moment for everything to be settled in.

To All,
My issue appears to have resolved itself if I restrict my tapping to the vertical blinking cursor on the left end of the entry line.
Tapping ONLY here consistently brings up the number pad.
Previously, tapping just about anywhere on the screen would bring it up.
Problem solved.
Thanks.
Hello XDA,
This is my very first community post so please don't judge if I do something wrong here
Let's cut to the chase. I am a happy owner of the OP6T 8/256gb phone and I am super happy with the device, however, I have been having an awkward issue. From time to time, couple of times a day, my phone would not recognize neither double tap nor the power button to wake the display up. Usually out of frustration I press the power button couple of more time, but nothing happens. Then after 3-4 seconds the display wakes up and even opens the camera (because I pressed the button couple of times, but not in a fast way...). Afterwards, the phone works without an issue until same thing happens hours later.
So my question is if anyone is experiencing anything similar and found the culprit of it?
If you need any additional info on my settings, please let me know!
It is not the worst thing that could be happening with a new phone, but you know, one expects the brand new phone to work 100% of the time
Looking forward to your replies and ideas!
Many thanks,
Donatas
It's happened to me only recently. I'm rooted with magisk 17.3 running a few modules such as dual speaker, Google dialer framework and viper. I was on stock kernel, but switched to Smurf kernel without any hiccups so far.
Well I am full stock, even with stock launcher... That's why it bothers me that it is happening:/ thanks for your reply

Yes this has happened to me, glad to see I'm not alone.
It happeneds randomly, like few times a day, not too frequent to render the device unusable, but enough to be irritating - especially when it's a brand new device.
My setup;
*Rooted
*Magisk (viper & YouTube vanced module)
*Stock kernel
I'm at a loss as to what's the cause of this issue, it's very weird, it could just be an oxygen os bug that will be resolved by OnePlus. Who knows. Hopefully if more people comment about this here - we will eventually get to the bottom of it.
So far on 9.0.6 build the issue appears to have been fixed, I have not had any random temporary lock screen freeze.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Glad to hear it is fixed for you!
Unfortunately, since the update, I already experienced it 4 times...
Even more so, sometimes now the phone would randomly stop playing music from Soundcloud (I dont know about other apps, i predominantly use Soundcloud).
I love the phone but it is a little shame that some of these features are failing
Hope 1+ will fix this and we all be happy!
Yeah, sometimes my device doesn't respond to double-tap. Usually I just have to double-tap again and it wakes up. I haven't noticed the issue with the power button, but I rarely use that to wake the device. I did have a situation recently where the device wouldn't wake from a screen tap no matter how many times I tried. I can't recall if using the power button woke it or if I had to force a reboot. But that's only happened that one time.
I just updated to 9.0.6 a day ago. I don't think I've experienced any non-wake issues since then. Really haven't been paying that close attention, I guess.
I believe I am having this issue. I just flashed 9.0.7 from TMO and I'm rooted with magisk v4a and vanced. I get random freezes where I can't tap anything on my screen. I have to turn it off and on with the power button.
I experience this as well. I thought it was just an isolated thing, and it's kinda annoying...
It's very irritating. I'm trying to pin point it and so far I notice it with Firefox and Spotify transitions.
