So that's all that happens with this bug? The brightness is just set to 0? LOL

I'll have to try the blindly pulling down the shade solution(rehearsing it ahead of time) if it ever happens again. It seems to happen less with the OS ROM updates though.

I'm still having the random reboot problem, but it's not so random. It happens when I'm using Firefox. I'll have to try another browser and see if it still happens.

I am seeing a problem with the microphone in Telegram after installing the 26 March 2021 built. The microphone doesn't work in video calls at all. If I use a wired headset (such as the one that came with the phone it works). The problem looks like as described here:

Microphone issues (noisy, low volume) on speaker mode (#2209) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab

Had that issue with mms in signal, had that frozen issue...little things aplenty. Upgraded to the 9 april release yesterday. Lost mobile service. Missed texts and calls from my boss. Pfft. Back on stock, rooted, this morning.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 761gg1i3219:
Hi everyone, I'm currently planning to buy a phone in this price range with official LOS support.

By far the best choices seem to be Motorola Moto Edge and OnePlus Nord, they have very similar specs, so I wanted to ask you guys how is LOS on Edge?

Is there anything I should know before buying? Like I don't know that this phone is difficult to maintain and the maintainers are planning to drop it soon or something else?

How is your experience with this phone?

Thank you all in advance for your response.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] handaxe:
I would say this is a great buy and works well with LOS, but for an issue that has nothing to do with LOS - the screen. Moto edge (and edge +) have screens susceptible to green tinge, and other blemishes. Some devices don't develop this, but many do.

Motorola is replacing affected devices it seems, but their forum reveals it reoccurs fairly often on replacement devices. Clearly, there is a problem.

Until Motorola explains what is causing this, the suspicion must be that a device could develop these problems in age.

Of possible LOS issues, my phone doesn't have - as advertised - Beidou nav sats and a 64MB back camera (mine says 16MB).
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
I don't believe it! I didn't lose root after the April 16th update!😲😲 It could have something to do with Magisk being overhauled. I flashed the new Magisk after the last LineageOS update.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bronkish:
While going back to stock last week I got to enjoy all the fancy-fine pretty, I just couldn't trust it - no matter how much I locked it down, turned stuff off, etc...the phone's running LineageOS again, rooted, of course, but I didn't install AFWall+ this time. It runs mint.

As an aside, I do employ AppManager to block trackers and prevent apps from getting course and fine location. I also turn off background mobile data for every app.

LineageOS is simple, boring, and reliable - just like Debian, so it's my ride. I don't like that I can't narrow the screen width of apps as can happen with stock, but, I'll get over it.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] handaxe:
As expected, thanks to the bootloader unlock, Motorola will not repair my phone under warranty.

With the screen problem, the Edge is not a suitable device for LineageOS or any off-piste ROM. "You may get bit"

Glossy paperweight, anyone :-)
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bronkish:
What? If I build you a thing and then you go and change it, you don't get to come to me and say: honor your warranty. I warranty my work, not yours. Warranties honor: as delivered, presented, or, installed. IN this case, you're uppity because someone built a thing for you, you want to change it, and still hold them accountable if you break it.

Good luck with that.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] riceboyler:
What? If you built me a piece of HARDWARE, and that HARDWARE had HARDWARE failures unrelated to SOFTWARE, you're darn right I'd expect you to honor that HARDWARE warranty.

Unless Motorola (or any other phone maker) can prove that the software modifications CAUSED the hardware failure, it seems to me they're using it as an excuse. This same kind of thing happened with automotive modifications back in the day, and that's why we have the Magnuson-Moss Act to protect against this wholesale warranty voiding based on modifications. (You had car companies trying to void engine warranties because somebody installed an aftermarket stereo.)

Put another way: if Dell voided the warranty on my XPS laptop because I installed Linux on it instead of Windows that came with it, I'd sue their butts. Samsung/Motorola/etc get away with this crap because they have more expensive lawyers than XDA peeps.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mikeyek:
No, they "get away with it" because it's explicitly stated during the bootloader unlock process that it voids any warranty. You were the one who continued with the process and you are the one who is concerned about the screen.

And the whole reason that exists is because unlike computers or vehicles, unlocking the bootloader allows you to make changes to the phone that easily can brick a device. So next time you're concerned about warranty, don't unlock the bootloader.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
Why can't you re-lock the bootloader? Apparently there could still be signs that the bootloader was unlocked, but apparently you have nothing to lose, so why don't you try it: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-un-locking-motorola-bootloader.4079111/post-82215973

You may just need to do the re-lock command an not the reflashing part.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bronkish:
Yeah, you're barking up the wrong tree. You and I don't necessarily disagree. My answer to whosit over there was meant to dissuade his/her's ridiculous leading and manipulative post. It's a troll starts the conversation with "as expected..." and then goes on to whine and worse; tries to further a victim posture with more trolling bull**** about a different thing altogether.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fthebop:
Anyone else having an issue with speaker and Bluetooth audio input not working in Signal and Telegram and other VoIP apps (no input whatsoever)? And yes my screen also goes black constantly like some others here): Not suitable for a daily driver considering microphone input doesn't work properly at all.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fthebop:
This issue still has not been fixed? I am still having the same issue in Telegram and Signal.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
Are the screen going black and the random reboot issues ever gonna be fixed? Maybe they're something that only the Main OS developers can fix, not the developers of the Motorola Edge sub-version? Maybe they can work together? Perhaps the same is true of the other problems mentioned in this thread.

For whatever good it'll do I'll post the Logcat logs here that I captured. One for the black screen and one for the random reboot. The one for the random reboot ends when the random reboot happens. The other one ends when I reboot the phone myself after the screen goes black. Both logs are at least half a days worth of logs. I guess I'll also post them at the LineageOS Github site, for whatever good that will do.

I don't have any clues about the screen going black, but when the random reboots happen, I'm either using a browser or live streaming a radio station with VLC. That leads me to believe it has something to do with the internet. I wish I would have made a note of whether I was connected to data or wifi when the random reboots happen. Maybe that can be deduced from the log. I only have one on at a time. That should help with the deducing. I haven't actually looked at these logs yet myself. The best way to do so is with Wordpad(yes Wordpad) because it can read Unix encoding and render it readable to you without you having to do anything to make it able to do so.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kraln:
Just flashed 17.1-20210528, everything works except the following:

Like #61, If you go into speakerphone mode, a non-existent microphone is selected. If you leave speakerphone mode, it continues to not work. If you plug in a headset and unplug it (in not-speakerphone mode), it works again.

I would be interested in an 18.1 build; in fact I have it most-of-the-way compiling--just struggling with the kernel.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] capcode:
Same here. It would be nice to know if 18.1 is in Development for the racer?
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fthebop:
Yeah, it is, but I haven't heard of an ETA for it. There's unofficial builds on this site although I'm not sure they are signed. I haven't used it.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fthebop:
Have you flashed 18.1 and did it fix the microphone and screen issues? Also, did you flash it over 17.1/what flashing process did you use? Thanks.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bronkish:
Huh, I didn't know they were developing 18.1 for racer. I hope to try it out before the end of summer.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cris19752008:
hello friends, I am very new to the moto edge. Can someone pass me the link on how to root this computer please ?!
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] neven1127:
Hey there! Any luck to pass SafetyNet? I tried for several times but no success.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SyberHexen:
Yes I added props for magisk hide props module.

Secondly you must install kdrag0n safteynet fix module too. Should pass using both those
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
What about random reboot and screen going black issues? I really hope that's fixed in 18. Especially the screen going black. That happens to me alot more than the random reboot.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bronkish:
That whole screen going black is bull**** although it's only happened to me once or twice recently. I feel like it might be pebcak related, at least a little. On more than one occasion I may have fast-fingered my way into darkness.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
Could you tell me specifically how I could be doing it? If you mean I inadvertently turned the brightness adjustment thats at the top of the status bar pull down menu all the way down down, I tested that and even when it's all the way down, the screen isn't black. How else could it be done?
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bronkish:
Naw, not the slider, I don't thik this is slider related at all. Also, it's obvious that the screen is not on and simply dim - it's a blackout - no screen.

I can remember on 2 occasions I may have hit some combination of power-button/screen tap/maybe a stray vol up or down (fat-finger) in quick succession as the screen was waking/going dark, immediately following the screen waking on its own. Like; I wanted to turn the screen bacon on after I had already woken it, it had timed out, and there I was pressing buttons. I'm not saying this is the cause, nor am I saying that I (or, you) am a mad-button-pusher, I'm trying to objectively look for causes in order to establish or eliminate a 'user' effect. I'm not trying too hard, though, as this issue is not-at-all as common as it was a month or so ago for me.

'Course, I've never seen this issue on another phone/ROM that I was using.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
I never had it or the random reboot with the stock ROM, I don't think. Most likely it's the ROM. I switched to LineageOS to de-Google-fy my phone, which it's doing with no problem. Having these issues is a small price to pay for that, so I'll live with them.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
Not sure if I should be glad or not that I am not the only one , but ,I have definitely experienced this.

The only thing I have been able to work out is as mentioned it has to do with the hardware buttons. I have come close to reproducing it and it always seemed to involve using the power button (single tap) to lock phone and turn screen off. I thought I would activate instead the options in the settings to wake screen with the volume buttons or double tap on screen but those do not work for me, at all.

Perhaps the root of the issue is with how LOS 17.1 handles the hardware buttons.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SyberHexen:
Thx for this observation. Last time it happened I didn't have adb enabled so I couldn't take a look. I've had it happen minutes after booting and other times the battery can fully drain without occurring.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bronkish:
Happened twice to me yesterday. I have adaptive brightness on, in Livedisplay I have the automatic display mode, power consumption reduced, a 30 second screen timeout, in ambient display gestures I have pick-up and hand wave on. Nova 7 as my launcher, password/fingerprint in use.

Display was off - the phone moved so that quick display popped on - I pressed the power button and the lock screen appeared - I pressed the power button again and the screen went blank - all well so far. I then pressed the power button again and the screen remained off while the phone was running as normal. Screen would not turn back on.

On one occasion the above happened and I flipped the phone over and laid it down. I waited 20 or so seconds and picked the phone up and that quick notification display reappeared. I pressed the power button and the lock screen appeared - all was well. On the other occasion the screen remained off and I had to reboot.

It doesn't always happen, sometimes it fixes itself while most times it doesn't. For me, it's always power button related.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
Yes, my experience as well. Power button is involved.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SyberHexen:
Can you tell me if there is relation to high light environments / HBM being activated when this happens?
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
I have not noted a connection, honestly. From my recollection, most just happened indoors in a room with natural /low light.

I have not experienced this since I switched to doubletap to wake/sleep, leading me to believe that it is somehow related to power button to lock/sleep.

I still get the seemingly random reboots every few days or so, but that is a different story.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fthebop:
This issue seems to be a race condition, however I do notice that it happens when I place my Edge on flat surfaces. Sometimes it does happen when you manually lock the phone, sometimes it does it on its own. It might happen two or three times a day. This is a really frustrating issue and it kills the experience and prevents the ROM from being a daily driver.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SyberHexen:
Actually it was displaywakeup node in powerhint.json

I've Submitted a patch, so hopefully in the next build this will be resolved
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fthebop:
That's great to hear. I also meant to add that I notice the bug most when I'm playing audio with the screen off (e.g. VLC).

P.S. Any plans to build Lineage 18.1 for racer?
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SyberHexen:

By the way, have you ever looked into the bug where the microphone doesn't work while VoIP calls are on speaker? I've noticed it on both Signal and Telegram.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
Would someone be able to give me some pointers on how I can diagnose what has been causing the periodic restarts? At this point it is at least once a day that the phone will restart itself. It is becoming a serious problem for me as it is unpredictable.

I am not sure but I feel it has become worse within the last 2-3 updates.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] fthebop:
Hey, I applied the patch but this issue has not been resolved. I noticed the screen going black again when playing music on VLC (which is when it most commonly happens).
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
Me too!

Do you mean streaming it or playing music thats on your phone? I was streaming a radio station when it happens. It could've also happened while I was playing music thats on my phone. I stream a radio station alot more often so it's hard to remember. I also play videos with VLC and I don't think it's ever happened while I was doing that. It seems to be happening less than it used to.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
Is anyone else noticing icons in the status bar being replaced by a notification dot? There's plenty of room to display all the icons, but it doesn't for some reason. It's has to do with space, not the number of icons. I started a thread about it here with details about my investigation. Any idea why this is happening? Is it an Android issue or a LineageOS issue? I attached a screenshot so you can see my status bar.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
Yep, I have the daft dot.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
@SyberHexen , would you have any ideas? The out-of-the-blue rebooting is at least daily now. It happened last time today while on a Skype call (very inconvenient).

No Google Apps/frameworks loaded on my device but I could still I am sure find a log capture utility on Aurora or F-Droid if necessary. Thanks!
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
You don't need a log capture app. Just install a command line app like Terminal Emulator, open it and go to the folder where you want to save the log to. Then type: logcat - f <filename> on the command line and everything logged will be saved to that file(including when the phone is sleeping) until you stop the logging. I have my phone rooted. I'm not sure if you need root to do this.

Edit: You could also use logcat through ADB. See here. But if you do that, you have to leave your phone connected to a PC all day until an incident you're waiting for occurs. If you happen know how to trigger an incident, that's not a problem.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SyberHexen:
Please provide the logs as neither I or erfan have random reboot issues.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
Good call, thank you. I have not established root access on my Edge but I setup Logcat [No Root] from F-Droid.

Will do! I am not sure how to trigger it yet but the moment I get something I'll pull what I can, thank you
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
Well, the bloody thing crashed while it was plugged in some time overnight.

So, of course, no logs seem to have been captured through the ADB-enabled logcat application as it rebooted.

I have been searching unsuccessfully for any way I can find shutdown logs on Android on the internet, no luck.

Damn it.

Will I need to root the device and start digging around? ANy advice?
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
I think I located the kernel crash logs in /sys/fs/pstore

I pulled the two files i there via ADB. @SyberHexen , I could get those to you if they may hopefully help a it.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
I think I know what the problem is. See here.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
If you wanna fix it go here.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
Ok I have another set of logs that look like they have captured the time the crash happened. Will put link in DM. Thank you!

Great work, is there any way to increase the speed of wifi? I found that the WiFi signal is very strong, but the internet speed is three times slower than stock rom's WiFi. thanks
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bronkish:
I just wanted to say - phone runs terrific, no issues at all, everything works fine - sweet nuggets! :cool:

That is all.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
I think it's been 3 or 4 weeks since the screen went black. I think it's been a week or two since a random reboot. Apparently those issues have been fixed. 😀
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
I had two successive reboots today :(
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
It happened to me last night.:confused:

Curiously, the reboot was long and rough. Usually the reboot is is pretty fast, but for that one and one or two others, the LineageOS boot up graphic ran for a few minutes and eventually froze. The the phone rebooted and the boot up process finished that time. Shouldn't that be a clue about the cause of the random reboots?

Could we at least agree that the black screen issue has been fixed? Anybody still getting that?

😬
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
@SyberHexen have you had any luck tracking these reboots down? Any hints at all would be useful.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skalogre:
Would you happen to use Nova Launcher and/or have the built-in Seedvault backup setup and running, by any chance?

I suspect those two being involved.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Heat84:
I'm not using either of those.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Giblet535:
Just a note of thanks. And one question.

I just installed it (no google spyware. yet.) and I like it. Thank you again.

The LOS camera app is a bit weak. It works, but is there a GCAM port available, or a more feature-rich app like the stock rom app?
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] officerplonk:
First - thank you to the maintainers for your work.

Does anyone else have audio problems when playing via the 3.5mm headphone jack? Audio over Bluetooth works fine, but the aux jack messes up the sound in a very strange way. When playing a song for example, the first 1sec or so sounds fine, then it's like a bandpass filter kicks in and a lot of the highs and lows get lost. The filter sometimes sweeps around a bit, and occasionally more low-end comes through but it's mostly very nasty compressed midrange. Can't find any device settings that would influence this. I disabled AudioFX completely although it was already off, and that made no difference.

If needed, I can record a sample of the output for debugging purposes.

Edit 2: I just filed a detailed bug report, so hopefully this can go through the proper channels and be addressed. https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/4291

Edit 1: I'm not the only one - someone on the LOS subreddit reported the exact same problem 4 months ago.
[Motorola Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] skuppej:
Is there any way to get the moto edge gestures back after installing LOS? (edge panel stuff)
