After running this build for few days, the overall performance seems to be a little bit better. However, after opening developer settings for the first time after update, system just reboots and goes back to lock screen.
The issue with fingerprint and default USB mode that resulted in bootloop is fixed but as I said, one last reboot may happen..
I didn't encounter the reboot after developer settings you did, but I did run into another issue, with the Bluetooth stack crashing when connecting to audio devices that do "HD Audio": https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-vision/help/bluetooth-audio-broken-psa29-160-50-t3977491 -- which I've reported to Motorola.
Motherboard problems
I had the same problem, turns out I had Motherboard problems, there were some settings in developer options that caused the phone to turn off, after a reboot it would not get passed the lock screen, turning off right after the first unlock, connecting my phone thru USB to a computer would allow me to get past the first unlock, then I reset my phone and did the same process 3 times, then I was sure what was causing it and how to, I sent my phone to Motorola and they sent it me back explaining what happened, it was the motherboard which encountered problems after changing some settings on developer options, now my phone is working again, even with the same options altered.

What options did you activate to trigger those reboots? My device is also suffering from random reboots, although it's a Motorola One Action.

Thanks for your reply. I tried that, but nothing happened. So Motorola apparently had fixed that on the Motorola Action.
In the meantime I realized, that my reboots were triggered by the system files I replaced, to root the device.

I'm wondering if anyone else is has this problem. Every time I plug in my phone, the USB debugging option turns on. I turn it off in developer settings, but it turns back on as soon as I plug it in.
Also, I change my screen timeout to 1 minute but when I restart the phone, it turns back to 30 seconds. I already tried the fix permissions option in Recovery and it didn't work. I'm using the Viper ROM if that helps.
Also, I always turn Auto Sync "on" under settings but it turns itself back off.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Anyone?
There's a known bug with some settings not sticking on reboot if I recall but what your describing does not seem to be this bug. Typically when weird little issues like this are happening, step one is to redownload and check md5 wipe everything and do a fresh flash. Obviously this would be a big issue, well documented for a ROM as popular as Viper XL so I would say no, other people are not experiencing this issue.
Thanks anyway. I'll Google it some more and see if I find something

Original post:
"Hi all,
Been forever since I've made a post to XDA, but I have a problem I'm not able to solve without taking an inconvenient plunge. I should mention that my phone was 100% fine yesterday evening, but since I was asleep last night it seems to have run out of battery, so this morning I charged it a bit, then I turned it on to a world of problems.
Ok, so let me run through a list of just a handful of the problems I'm having right now...
Totally stock (not rooted) Nexus 5 running Android 6.0.1 (Security: 1 March 2016)
1. Home and App switch soft keys don't work
2. Notifcations are not working at all
3. Notification shade wont pull down
4. Widgets cannot, and will not load
5. Cannot get into Developer options "Developer options are not available for this user"
Seems I'm not the only one to experience the strange bug, some folks over at Android Central were experiencing the exact same thing toward the end of last year.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...me-button-not-working-many-more-problems.html
Some people to have resolved this issue using "adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity" but I cannot get into Developer options to turn on USB Debugging (unless I don't need to?)
What I've tried already...
1. Cleared all Google App data "CLEAR ALL DATA"
2. Tried to make another user, just flashes and goes back to "Opula" my main and broken user profile, never creates the other profile, same thing happens when I press on Guest too
3. Safe mode, but the problem persists there too
4. Virus scan, turned up a whole lot of nothing
I'm now at the point where I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a Factory data reset (the "inconvenient plunge"), even though I think I've backed everything up the "Touch to sync" option on my Account > Google doesn't do anything, neither does the "Sync now" from the drop down menu. So despite having explored my Google account on my desktop I cannot see if it has backed up my Apps and App data, but it seems to have backed up my contacts and such.
I'm going to get a third party app to back up as stuff as I possibly can as well, but even Helium is useless now since I cannot get into the Developer options so enable USB debugging.
Anyone got any experience with this issue or how to resolve it?
Many thanks to everyone in advance."
Hi all,
Just wanted to update this thread to say that I did a factory reset and the phone is now fixed, but I wouldn't to give a more comprehensive account of the problems I was experiencing with the phone until I did the factory reset.
List of problems
Home and app-switch soft keys not working (back key is working)
Google Now 'on tap' not appearing (cause of home key)
Cannot see notifications just says "No notifications" (but the light and sound work fine when a notification is received)
Cannot pull down notification shade to toggle controls
Widgets cannot be added and will not load
Cannot pull down the immersive mode overlay
Google Backup not working (after 8+ days)
All types of syncing not working
Phone's storage doesn't appear on PC when plugged in via USB
Cannot access developer options (due to active profile level)
Cannot create or switch users
The best advice I can give to mitigate such an unusual problem (that appeared totally out of the blue on a cold boot) is use Google Backup services, keep on top of syncing, and manage your data via your Google account! Or as an alternative, manage and maintain manual backups.
I've had this problem in the past with some app but I don't think I've ever fixed it.
As soon as the app loads, I get constant tapping at the center of my screen (I have enabled the 'dot' to show from developer settings) rendering it unusable. A regular desktop mouse cursor even momentarily blinks while this is happening. Prevents me from using the phone altogether, even the reset shortcut won't work. I have to lock the device and go to settings so I can switch apps and use my phone.
Anyone knows about this? Is it app specific or is there something I can do to fix it? I have disabled lots of settings on my device, disabled Xposed altogether, etc. Even tried safe mode but to my surprise you can't run apps in safe mode (how great is that?). Any suggestions?
Hi, I have the G7 power (model XT 1955-4) for 2 days, and something very strange happens to me,
Suddenly the phone to introduce the unlock by fingerprint or by pin, I constantly restarted and I can not continue, I get the message of activated motorcycle options,
I already did a cleanup from the Recovery model and I can't fix it,
I'd appreciate your help
That's an absolutely terrible bug never fixed by Motorola (AFAIK). This is what happens:
If I change "Default USB configuration" and/or animation scales, hours later, when unlocking the phone by using my fingerprint or PIN, in a random moment, the phone reboots and softbricks. After that, the only way to recover from this situation is making a factory reset and not changing those settings unless your life depends on it.
It's sad, but unless this is solved by Motorola or any kind developer, this is the only way I found out to prevent the phone from becoming useless.
I changed the animation scales with no issues a few weeks ago. You guys are just running unrooted stock I assume?
The issue started after I had it less than a week and I sent in to to Samsung service, who said they couldn't replicate the issue and sent it back. I've had it back for a few weeks and it started happening in other apps as well, not just the Samsung Account that I show here. I've sent them videos confirming the activity in different apps & including the IMEI to prove that it's the same phone that they told me didn't have the issue when they saw it.
I've tried all available display settings options, occurs in all of them. Google said there was a screen issue at launch that was patched out, but none of the videos show this.
Anything to suggest? I'm backing up now and factory resetting to show then that it still happens, since they won't believe me. They said that, if it happens again to document it and send it in for a replacement but, of course, now they don't want to do that replacement thing.
It's always something that appears with something else that would appear underneath. In this video, it's the 2 messages for why you should use your Sammy acct. On other apps, it's the same sort of thing: there are two text or image items that overlap and should replace one another after either a click or a set time frame.
I'm also interested in finding more apps that might do this same thing and could replicate the issue I'm having - or not replicate it - for more evidence to send more videos, enough apps that they can't ignore me.
Stock Chinese ROM since I'm in China and I like to make sure any phone I use doesn't have problems before I flash a new ROM and have issues on a warranty claim.
Thanks in advance

Check if the animations in Developer Options are set to off. I was getting similar screen flashing and after turning off Developer Options to default flashing was gone.

That worked, but does this mean I have to always have developer options turned off?
I don't use them often, so it's not a big deal.
Yeah I have kept it off permanently and no flashing after that. This is the first phone i have used with Developer Options set to off. In all my previous phones I always disabled the animations.
I hadn't even enabled Developer Mode. I usually don't need Developer Mode any more, except when I want to flash a ROM.
