Hello Droid Geeks & Devs, a sincere advice/help needed .. just fed up off two major issues with my N4. Already tried many of the things available on forums but still the problem persists since 3 months now. So it's time I share my saga and possibly get the suggestions/fix or atleast a workaround.
OK, I'll start from the beginning.. I was and still am fully stock on Kitkat 4.4.4 and bootloader locked. I guess it was September during which i
updated my Google camera app from play store. And since this small update my N4 is ruined, my camera stopped working after a few hours ..only solution was to do a reboot & it would work fine for few hours and again "can't connect to camera". I thought a update might fix it but it didn't ..just forgot i had a camera in my phone for few months.
But guess what since October,the camera not working cycle was as it is, but the added problem was sudden infinite awake times in battery stats showing the cause of drastic battery drains (40% drain in nights to wakeup to drained dead phone in morning).again the temp fix was a reboot. But when i closely looked at the trends, I found the relation that while my camera is working the wake-locks are just fine, but the moment the cam stops working the continuous long Awake starts till it eats up all the battery and eventually lead to a reboot to be back to normal.Screenshots attached.
The upcoming Android 5.0 update in Nov was a major hope for me, that this should fix the bug.I happily sideloaded the lollipop update but still no luck ..in fact i have got added lollipop bug of WiFi drops for no reason.Also trying my luck with the new 5.0.1 lets see how it turns out.
Please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.
Still no luck with 5.0.1
Please Anyone can suggest something ??

HI Guys,
i Updated my Phone via factory image to Android 5.1 all worked well during the update.
I spotted that with the stock 5.1 my phone got hot when active and the battery went down very fast (and by active i mean just doing normal stuff).
So i decided to go to cm12.1, installation also worked well, but had the same problems here.
Then i went back to stock 5.1 but still the same problems, my phone is getting hot and battery life is getting low when i use it.
When not in use its ok, it baerelly uses battery then.
I searched in forum and google also, but couldnt find anything rly helpfull, i think of going back to 5.0.1
TL: DR
Since Update to 5.1 Phones runes hot and the battery is going low very fast when in use.
Does anyone know this issue and has some advice to solve them?

I enrolled to beta programa like 3 weeks ago and everything was just fine, but yesterday after some apps updated the phone started freezing a lot, all the apps started crashing especially WhatsApp and Instagram, when I unlock the phone it takes like 5 seconds, also a lot of times when I go to the home screen after writing something, the keyboard stays on screen and it doesnt hides, I dont know what is happening, if someone could help me I would thank it a lot.

Don't mean to scare you, but that is exactly what was happening to me right before going into an unrecoverable bootloop. Nothing I tried revived the device, although there have been some that have been able to. I ended up RMA'ing my device as nothing I did brought it back to life. You might be in a different situation but just giving you a heads up.
*Bump*
Stock 7.1.1 and rooted here. I've been on the official 7.1.1 release for our 6P's since early December, and for the past week or so, I've been experiencing freezing as well. I'd be in the middle of typing in Hangouts, streaming music in the car via bluetooth and Spotify, or just waking the phone up from sleep. For the past few days, I've been getting 3-4 freezes per day.
On rare occasions, I've left the phone alone to settle, and it returns to normal, but more times than not, a hard reset is the only 'fix'; until the next freeze.
I reluctantly wiped the phone, unrooted, flashed stock 7.1.1 and re-rooted all via NRT last night. The phone froze again this morning coming off the charger...
Granted, it decided to restore 528mb's worth of WhatsApp history as soon as I unplugged it (why it didn't restore on charger overnight is beyond me though). Will update if it freezes again.
The phone runs butter smooth with zero issues other than these freezing occurrences though. MO, the 6P is the best all-rounded phone currently available, even if it's a year old already.
Appreciate any help or suggestions!!
That's odd try ex kernel and over clock or try HEBF manager on play store
Quick update. Couldn't bear the multiple freezes per day, so I called Google to ask for help. Apparently I've done everything I can on my end (including a factory reset and updating to the latest firmware), so they sent out a replacement 6P to me free of charge. They'll also be covering the courier/shipping costs for my old 6P too. Fantastic customer service. Kudos to them!! I called them Tuesday morning (20th Dec) Australian time, and received my replacement 6P Friday afternoon (23rd Dec). Very quick indeed
Half a day after setting up my replacement 6P, including updating to 7.1.1, I started getting the same symptoms as my old 6P. Freezing, unresponsiveness, etc. Persisted for another day and had enough. I've since done a full wipe and downgraded back to the final 6.0.1 release, and it's been stable as a rock for 3 days now. No freezes, lagginess, nothing.
So I deduce it might actually be a software issue with 7.1.1, and not a hardware problem. It appears a growing number of Pixel and Pixel XL users are also experiencing random freezes on their new phones running 7.1.1 too...
Looks like I'll stick with 6.0.1 until Google makes a formal announcement and something is done about 7.1.1. I've missed Xposed and GravityBox too, so 6.0.1 is all good. Most importantly, it's stable
Had you ever tried booting into safe mode to see if maybe an app was causing the issue? Maybe a compatibility issue between an installed app(s) and 7.1.1

Thanks for the pro tip. I did consider doing that with the replacement 6P, but the only apps that I had installed were the stock Google ones that came with 7.1.1, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SwiftKey. I just assumed if such popular apps were the cause, a lot more people would have pinpointed them as the problem?
I did however read a few users claiming SwiftKey to be the culprit prior to RMA'ing my old device, but even after uninstalling that from my old phone, I was still getting the freezing issues.
Hey, about 2 week ago i tried update my phone to Android 8.0 ROM but i happen to crash (i messed up somewhere), then i go downgrade it Android 7.0 and reflash.

You need to open your device just go to the local phone repair shop and ask him to open the device then remove the battery and press the power button for 10 seconds while the battery is removed, then re insert the battery and you are good to go!
Change the battery it will be fixed
I did this a couple months ago and it worked perfectly
Problem Battery too
My moto g4 plus is turning itself off after the battery reaches 50%, when playing, turns off after reaching 50% when watching videos on youtube, turns off from 30%. Could it be ROM problem? I opened the cell phone, and I removed the battery and put it back, I saw many videos on the internet explaining several things about how I could solve it, I did it all and unfortunately I did not succeed. I'm using the original Moto G4 plus ROM ... What could be the problem ROM? If I change the Rom, will I succeed, and solve the problem?
Same random shutdowns after battery change
I have the same issue (random shutdowns when receiving calls, watching videos, etc) since I changed to a new battery in my G4 Plus XT1644 (old one was draining fast but never failed).
I have tried with STOCK ROM, LineageOS, Kernel Adiutor tweaks, nothing seems to work. Please help!!!
Should I buy another battery?
Stock Nougat 7.0 saved a phone from the bin
For the last few months I've been hopping from the Nougat and Oreo versions of Lineage and Omnirom and getting no joy. First I noticed that after turbo charge my phone would drain on idle from 100% to 80% in literally a few minutes. So, I stopped using the turbo charger and that seemed to remedy it. Then, the phone would reboot itself once it got below 60%. As I said, all of this was on both Nougat and Oreo versions of Lineage and Omnirom.
A few days ago I was ready to bin the entire phone out of rage. I hated the sight of it and didn't want to chance changing the battery in case something else with the phone was to blame. For whatever reason, I came across https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-oreo-8-1-0-soak-test-t3873367 and since being on stock Nougat have not had a single problem regarding the battery. I can not believe it. Turbo charging works fine now and I am getting just over a day's use out of my phone.
One happy Moto G4 Plus user again
