Well, the reboot problem occurs when pressing the power key to lock or unlock the screen. When it happens, the power menu shows before rebooting, its like the power button keeps pressed leading to the reboot (remember that according to Motorola, pressing the power button for 10 secs reboots the phone, but in practice it happens in less than 10sec)

I dont think that its the button itself getting stuck because if so, the problem would persist doing reboot loops until pressed again.

Today a strange thing happened to me that confirmed that is non software related: While the phone was completely off, I pressed and instantly released the power button. To my surprise, the phone turned on. (Remember that to turn on our phones, power button must be pressed continuosly for a couple of seconds). So again its like the power button keeps stuck, but not phisically stuck.

So I don't really understand how it is possible: Not software problem because it happened while the phone was turned off, but not hardware problem because the button isn't getting stuck physically.

Any ideas? Could it be software problem but at very low level? Which part of the phone is the responsibly of counting how many seconds a key is pressed? I think it isn't the ROM itself because when the phone is off, it couldn't be counting.

Any idea would be appreciated
[Moto E General] bhumik147:
Thats really unusual, but after facing all this , i can say the power button stucks at random press of button. Not everytime. Everytime would get the phone into bootloop forever. And no i dont think its rom bug or any error, cuz everybody tried different roms leading to same problem
[Moto E General] Ujjawalsharma354:
This is called sleep of death by devs. This is possibly the fault of nightly build of roms
[Moto E General] maxixda:
I took it to the service center and they replaced the board under warranty. Now its working good
[Moto E General] jerrinfrncs:
Thanks

Finally can use my Moto E. I installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 and set volume key to unlock and double tap to lock. Thanks a lot

Lollipop update solved restart problem

I was running 4.4.4 and this problem was very annoying, not knowing when would my phone decide to restart after pressing power button. It's around a week that I have updated my phone to 5.1 (official OTA) and my Moto E and problem seems to be gone, not a single restart after update, hope it works for you too ;)
[Moto E General] longerXDA:
Could it be a SD card problem?

Hi everybody,

I have a 1st gen Moto E and it reboot some 3 or 4 times each day.

This saterday I thought maybe it's a problem with my SD card and I changed it. Since then, it don't has reboot.

I don' know if people with this problem had tried that but, if not, it's an easy and cheap try.

Hope that can help someone.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Moto E General] miksmith:
This has driven me mad for the last few months. I also came to the conclusion it was hardware related which I guess is due to wear and tear on a badly designed power button. I have used the double tap the notification bar (in CM11) to lock the phone which has significantly improved things. I hadnt thought to use the volume control.

Very helpful!
[Moto E General] KhanStan:
Installing a custom rom will solve the problem.

I'm using volume buttons as my power button. that's it!
[Moto E General] sivanivas:
Try MM ROM, restart issue has been resolved. Am using it for one month. Am not using volume key wake up method. So far no reboots. Confirmed with another MM user who had the same issue!
[Moto E General] @niket:
looks like MM ROM solves the issue

m using CM13 official build since past 3 weeks for experimenting & testing for its fitness for daily use. I just started using device as primary phone since yesterday to check SD card as internal feature. just to know how it behaves, how stable the feature is & will it be beneficial for my moto g later after i receive my new SD card

so far not a single restart due to power button in past 3 weeks in total

PS : using "Official CM13 12-Jan-2016 Nightly" & no plans to update to new nightly as lots of problems/bugs are coming with newer builds

I'll wait for release build patiently :)
[Moto E General] sebaim:
New Solution

Hi all, I fixed it 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 need to restart phone and keys will be remapped.

Hope it helps!

Alarms (sounds weird but it works)

Guys this is not a fix but it is definitely a great workaround for this issue. I had been facing this problem too much. But one day I set alarms on repeat for each day for reminders of my medication. And since then i haven't faced this problem
[Moto E General] TigerKing:
Is there any hardware fix for moto e 2014 power button?? I want to do it by hardware. Please guide me.
[Moto E General] drs22:
You have to change your motherboard. Visit nearest Motorola service center
[Moto E General] TigerKing:
Okay. You talk like person in service centre. Buddy believe me it's not the solution. Changing motherhood is like running away from problem.

When you don't know answer to something then most people diary like this, do format, change motherboard.

Don't take it personally. But I want to do it manually.

I will try myself. And let you all know about it.
[Moto E General] drs22:
You asked, I answered which is correct since my friend has done this. If you think that is not the soln, invent one and let us know. BTW you can flash custom kernel as I have said before.

Anyways, you can always buy a new device since motherboard costs a lot
[Moto E General] HeaDekBatHblu:
You have tried to replace itself the power button directly on the board? I offered to do it, but not highly confident that it will help, but once again delve into the phone there is no desire, the best selling. In the last month I have this problem brought out of yourself.
[Moto E General] midish:
so this issue is on lollipop and marshmallow based ROM? what about kitkat?
[Moto E General] Debjoy01:
No! ( I think) cause one of my friend just changed his motherboard and now he is running the stock android KitKat. Result: the issue is still there! ( maybe the frequency of restarting is lesser )
[Moto E General] emmanuel36:
I tried solution 6 (modifying generic.kl) and right now button power and volume button doesn't work. I made a backup of the file, and tried to replace the modified one with the previous version, and the problem persist.
[Moto E General] LimePrism:
Are you sure you didn't mess anything up? Perhaps something with permissions? (just to make sure: the file should be owned by root with -rw-r--r-- permissions).

I just tried this, as my Moto E started to restart/shutdown insanely often when using power button recently. And this method not only worked, it also seems the most clean, as it doesn't require any additional applications or components. I changed mine like this:

Original:

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 115 VOLUME_UP
key 116 POWER

Changed, so that the volume up button becomes the power button and vice versa:

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 115 POWER
key 116 VOLUME_UP

After restarting the phone it worked as expected and without any problems.

Thanks to [MENTION=5124144]sebaim[/MENTION] for mentioning this and [MENTION=5204791]bhumik147[/MENTION] (op) :highfive:
[Moto E General] emmanuel36:
I did the modifications with ES Explorer, I had to activate the root explorer in the app, because the first time it didn't allow me to make any changes in the folder.

As I said, no button worked (power or volume), even when I replace the modified file with the original one.

I had to install the Rom again, root it again...

How can I know if I have root with -rw-r--r-- permissions, I supposed I have because the phone was rooted and the ES Explorer allowed me to change the file.
[Moto E General] LimePrism:
The permissions thing is just a guess, but perhaps worth checking out. After modifying the file, long press it, choose Permissions, and make sure they are as follows:

Owner: read, write (no execute)

Group: read (no write or execute)

Others: read (no write or execute).

Well, it should work with more permissions than necessary, but make sure all can read the file.
[Moto E General] emmanuel36:
In properties I see that I can read and write, when I modified the file, still the same.
[Moto E General] bhumik147:
Use xposed additions method , it's simple and works better.

[Moto E General] midish:
what if I just erase the POWER key from Generic.kl??

I want to deactivate the power button in order to avoid accidental press... but I wonder if it still would work when the phone is shut down...I mean... would it work to turn it on or to access to recovery??

[Moto E General] bhumik147:
It won't work when the phone is turned off, generic file serves only in android os. Still, you can try.
[Moto E General] TigerKing:
But power button works perfectly fine in bootloader and recovery, only problem occurs after mobile starts..
[Moto E General] midish:
^ so.. that means that the power button would work when the phone is turn off... then thats exactly what I want :)

Moto z force

I'm having this issue on my 2 week old Moto Z Force.

I actually noticed the issue on a display model in Verizon but chalked it up to just that.. a display model in Verizon and I carried on with my purchase.

I've had a few experiences where it randomly reboots and then it's good to go again. Seems to happen more frequently when the phone is in high use, so I suspected an issue with RAM being full?

TODAY - phone was in pocket while I was on a call for work and I felt it vibrate on a consistent interval. When off the phone, I looked at the phone and it is in a restart loop. The only thing I can do at this point is hold the Volume Down key to get into BIOs (through the rebooting loop) and then I have the following uptions:

1) Start

2) Restart Boot loader

3) Recovery Mode

4) Power Off

5) Factory Mode

6) Barcodes

7) BP Tools

8) QCOM

9) Bootloader Logs

The restart seems to take place at the same part of the startup animation every time.

I'm beginning to think I need to go with option 5 here... any help is appreciated...
[Moto E General] bhumik147:
moto z force

this post was meant for moto e as it has hardware button issue.

however if ur facing same issue in moto z force, then you can try any of the solutions stated. personally i would advise you to use xposed solution which is soln 5
[Moto E General] rivrfreak:
How would I go about that if I can't even access my phone? As in, the reboot cycle never allows me to even touch the GUI - it doesn't get that far.:crying:
[Moto E General] bhumik147:
flash

cant you start the phone from normal startup option 1? if not i think you have to flash the phone or give it to service center
[Moto E General] rivrfreak:

[Moto E General] midish:
could this whole issue be somewhat related to the fact of setting an sd card as internal storage? just wondering because I don't remember having this problem before I rooted it and installed it a custom rom
[Moto E General] _sushan_:
Unlikely.. I faced this issue on official kitkat and this issue was one of the main reason i rooted my moto e.

It may be a coincidence.

Test your memorization and fast touch skills in order to form the word by touching the letters within time.

Touch an invalid letter, or let the timer expire and the level fails.

As you progress on the levels the word count will increase and the letters will disappear faster. Letter count starts from 4(very easy) to 14(hard).

The order by which you touch the letters don't need to be the same as the order of the letters in the word.

I would highly appreciate your feedback!

As the title states, is there currently a way to upgrade the Verizon Wireless Motorola Q (black version) to Windows Mobile 6?

Regards in advance

-Evomac-
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dyaln:
I'll second that question --

I should definitely read more on this forum before asking such dumb questions, (hi, I'm new!) but curiosity is killing me...

How cross-platform/generic are these OS?

I notice that there's a different release of WM6 Pro for every different HTC model, which scares me...

I was toying around with the idea that the T-mobile Dash (aka HTC Excalibur) is a 'smartphone' running WM6 Standard.

That puts it in the same ballpark as the Q, they're both 320x240 w/ no touchscreen!

However, the S620/excalibur/whatever runs a T.I. OMAP850 cpu on GSM;

whereas the Q features an Intel XScale PXA272, and CDMA

As a guy who has a Verizon Q which will likely be left at wm5 forever, I *really* want to try something out, but really am not excited about bricking my phone.

anyone have any great ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] evomac:
I still have return time left on my phone so I would be willing to try something. Since you can almost be certain Verizon won't upgrade the OS.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] S.V.I:
MOTO Q can be cooked

I just found a monster flash file wit an .SBF extension.

I renamed it to OS.NB (changing only the extension) and was able to dump the OS and OEM.

So I believe it is possible to cook it.

Personaly, For a smartphone it has good hardware; and being a motorola, the entire phone is the antena. with propper software this can eventualy be a good device...

I have the OS dump; and I am sure that with the rest of the stuff I found on (like RSDLite) it is possible to cook the Q.

Trouble is that We NEED someone who can make a kitchen for us.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mattnews:
A kitchen to do this sure would be nice... Bit it looks as if it'll never happen. :(

It's just sad. The Moto Q is a good phone, but being stuck with the crappy Windows Mobile 5 OS makes it a piece a crap these days. I'm finding more and more software that just won't work because of the dinosaur of an OS it has.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] conflipper:
I think this will be my next project. now i just need to find a motorola q, so i can get to work on it. it was a good device, for its time. and it was so easy to type on, size was all there.

i just never been able to get it to dump, never try to rename the files. i will have to give this a shot, but i am sure it can be done.

I used the Scoter Kitchen. Renamed the Monster flash file to OS.nb and ran it. and I was able to get all of the files out of there.

if nothing comes of this, what phone would you recommend that is 'like' the moto q black (the rubberized grip is great, the little wheel is really cool, i like the brick style, not flip or slide, fits so good in my hand, and so on, what a phone... tried an htc phone recently but the touch was non sensitive and it couldn't hold a charge long enough, though that is just that, also it seemed it was made for a small asian woman's hand)

First You'll need to flash Twre latest version from Jonas2790 by fastboot USB if you don't know about it then try to turn off your one v and hold volume down button first while press the power button the machine will boot into bootloader and you will see the fast boot menu

Second you'll need SDK tool for Linux or windows for fastboot and other tool

Third use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG" then hit enter while connect to fastboot USB with you one v

Fourth boot into boot loader with first instruction method and select recovery then you will see the recovery

Fifth use mount option for transfer rom.zip then use install option to flash the zip

Sixth boot into boot loader again and enter fastboot USB then extract boot.IMG form ROM.zip and flash win command "fastboot flash boot boot.IMG" then try to boot to your ROM normally.
