Sudden lags and crash with some low end games... - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

So... I am using Moto G4 Plus and when i play some low end games for like 10 minutes the game starts to lag so much and then freezes, but just the games... Any ideas? I already removed Xposed and Root but the problem persists... On my old phone I had no problem with the same games and using same Xposed modules and Root apps

Just figured out what caused it
well, it wasn't a problem with any ROM modifications, but the problem was 2 other apps that were causing errors in background. Uninstalled them and now everything is okay.

Please share which apps they were so that we won't install them..

Sorry for not saying earlier, one was blackmart and the other was aptoide. Maybe because they are not optimized for android 6.0.1

Oh ok.. Thats good to know coz i also have Blackmart installed and am facing various app crash issues. Let me uninstall it and check if that was indeed the culprit..

Thanks a lot. Now hopefully we can get Assassin's Creed™ - Altaïr's Chronicles for free too
Someone should make a thread with the apks of the Free Games so far.
Has anyone been having problem with this game? The game runs fine, but I keep getting a force close message, even when the game isn't running.
Ive had the same problem with it giving me FC errors even when game not running i uninstalled

I'm getting random FCs as well when the game isn't even running. I did uninstall the crapware that you had to install first though. Not sure if that's related. Game play is decent. Fun little game. I'll keep it around for a bit longer.
I am getting fc's when the phone boots and randomly as well. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, removing the hos folder, removing the gameloft app, ect. Nothing seems to affect the fc's. The game runs but is glitchy starting. Sometimes it won't load, sometimes it will play the opening video then go to black screen and never load the game, occasionally it will load the game to the "touch the screen to continue" but the screen will be completely unresponsive. I did get it to load completely a few time and was able to play a bit. It is fun but the fc's are very anoying. I may keep it thru xmas then uninstall. The other free game from gl earlier this month "dungeon hunter" runs flawlessly.
Epicly posted using the xda app!
I'm getting the same issue. wtf is it doing that its force closing when not running? Is this the reason they are not on the market their apps doing tracking type **** even when not running?
It could be related to the version of the game? I noticed gameloft gives the Epic a different version of their games, the icons do not have the HD high resolution image.
I still have yet to try this game because I haven't downloaded the data package that is required....
Can anyone post a link to download the data package?

I got it working by resetting the DPI to it's original 213, cleared the play store and google caches and rebooted.
Don't know why it suddenly started playing up.
Oh it does that when you change your DPI. I had that issue on SlimBean ROM but then I flashed the special Play Store for that DPI and it worked.

App Update sloooooww

Hello.
I have this problem (only with google play only with nexus7): the app updates are ssooooo slooowww (really slow...).
It's so strange. I had no problem a week ago.
I don't understand: i have tried:
-delete google account
-empty the cache of service, google play and so one + reboot...
And nothing.
The strangest thing is the other function are normal: Nexus 7 runs well, chrome runs well... all the internet services are perfect...
An idea???
Thanx
i hope im in the right section ^^
Have you checked your free space? I know my updates slow to a crawl when I am down to my last 500mb of space
i have plenty of space (32gb)...And i have some problems ONLY with google play app updates... nothing else! :crying:
up... please
So you are sure it couldn't be related to your internet connection because all the other things are running as well as before?

SM G900H Crashing

Hi guys,
I have been a silent follower but now I really need your help to get out of this mess.
Bought an s5 SM G900H on 23rd apr(India), since the very first day noticed a strange issue that when listening to songs for a long time, say an hour at a stretch the music app just crashes and then when I check my running applications all of them show restarting without actually restarting the services.
After this the phones response becomes pathetic and every app crashes the moment I start them. I have to reboot the device to get it working again. What seems to be the issue?
Only happening when I listen to music for quite some time.It seems the phone is just not able to free enough ram as ram usage peaks and no amount of killing all apps frees any ram.
Should I not get a replacement phone? Samsung svc people were telling me they'll update the software and then see, but then my DOA period would be over. I am regretting my decision to buy the phone.
Help guys!
Ps: Checked with kies and on sammobile, I am already running on the latest build. G900HXXU1ANCI

Got my device replaced and its still giving me the same issue. So to conclude it, there is some bug with samsungs music player as this doesn't happen with play music app. Don't worry bro it'll be patched in an update soon and a g3 may also have certain bugs at launch. All this is a part of new device hitiing the market, bugs are to expected.
BTW is yours an exynos model or snapdragon? Mine is exynos.

hi buddy! im glad i am not the only one xD I thought i had a defective device.
and for g900H, it is the international model of exynos chipset. g900F is the international model of snapdragon 801.
I thought this was a hardware issue. I hope they can do something about this. Samsung plz
Have you also seen a rare issue that your power button stops working? like if the button doesnt work. I think this may have been a problem related to greenify without root. Im scared to try it again so, if anything happens, you guys should know. xD uninstall greenify and restart.

Hi Mate,
The thing that surprises me is how an issue or a bug like this escaped the samsung testing team.
The power button at times becomes unresponsive if the services are stuck at restarting. Not just that the whole phone starts acting weird, my finger print scanner won't work intermittently and every app crashing, the homescreen resetting etc. I spoke to Samsung Head Office here in India and they asked me to send a detailed mail about the issue. I have done that. Now the best we can do is wait for them to release a fix.

Reboot once and then use google play music app for your music. No issues whatsoever. I have in fact hidden the samsung music app.

Yeap, thanks, I just downloaded it and looks like it crashed but lets see what happens if I listen to music for 1+ hour- I will report back.
Interesting, same use case in a G900H:
If wouldn’t be a Samsung phone without the occasional crashes and sadly, the S5 is no stranger to this. Despite being on KitKat 4.4.2, the S5 will lag intermittently and at times crawl to a halt, forcing you to restart the phone. We noticed this couple of times when listening to music. The song would just pause itself and OS would simply stop responding.

Moto G4 Play, (Marshmallow), Tethering Fix

Per wrenhal's request, I have generated an app to enable tethering for moto G4 phones that have it disabled.

Thanks for this. Does this require an unlocked bootloader? Will it work with Android security patch level of Feb 1, 2017?

This is for the Amazon ads version of the g4 play. What this is supposed to do is patch in memory the build.prop file to allow tethering when the phone tries to check in with the carrier to see if tethering is allowed. No it does not need an unlocked bootloader. If it's the same as the fix I've been working with him on then it is only a temporary fix as rebooting the phone will lose the option and the app has to be run again.
@ledothis you may want to describe to them how long it takes to run the app and what they'll see on their screen.

Thanks. Yes, I'd like to know more. I was reading the progress made on removing the ads from the Amazon version and saw your request to do the same to the build.prop file to allow tethering, but I didn't see any more info on that until this thread.
I have the Verizon Prepaid version and I'd like to know what it does to see if it could work on that.

It appears to go through similar processes as the adb instructions. I got the moto logo for awhile and then it went black. But it stayed there for quite a while. Almost ten minutes. So I just rebooted the phone. I'll try again tonight after a clean reboot.

Ok I had a chance to do it again yesterday. The app says patching assets and then restarting and then the phone stored at the moto logo screen for over 5 minutes. I then just rebooted. Should it take that long? I don't remember the adb exploit taking that long.

Tethering/hotspot just requires a simple build.prop entry
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
this app does the job for you.
you can also freeze the entitlement app with titanium

Are you on an Amazon version of the g4 play? And what entitlement app? Don't you have to have root to freeze apps? No root on this device.
If you ran this app can you tell me how long it took the app to make the change and return to a usable state?

yes, root is required for any of the changes at all in this thread.
However, for USB tether, easytether works without any root access.

You do not need root. We are dealing with a unique case for marshmallow g4 play phones. Wrhenal has confirmed this.

Yeh it shouldn't take 5 minutes. It should be about 30 seconds. I need to retest the app on my phone I have a feeling I left out a file when I packaged up the application.
Everything up until it restarting sounded good though.

I retried the app after cleaning out my phone. It failed for me as well exactly how you described.
I have found this issue and resolved it.
Attached is a new apk to try.
Note for other people:
This app only works on Marshmallow. (ie. 6.0.1 android).
The app does not work with the 2017 security patch

Same issue. Patching assets (actually takes longer than the first one), then restarting... and then either a black screen (with backlight you can see) or the Moto logo and it just sits and sits... Waited almost 5 minutes once and nothing. But more than a minute each time.
I then cleared the data/cache of the app and still the same thing. I just can't get it to work.
For info:
I'm on 6.0.1 , Patch level July 1, 2016
Build: MPI24.241-2.35-1
Do I need something in developer options turned on?
Oh well..
Yeh sorry guys I just retried the app on my phone and it wasn't working.
There is some intermittent issue that I need to solve.
I am busy tonight but I will take a look tomorrow.

Okay I just got back from my camping trip. had no cell service at all where we were so it didn't matter. I've downloaded this copy and tested it and it appears to be working fine. I ran the app and let it patch the assets restart came up allows hotspot reboot hotspot is lost rerun the program let it restart and hotspot is back again.
Would be interesting if some people in the ad removal thread who have already upgraded to nougat could test this and see if it worked.
