Hi,
I have a Moto G XT1032 (2013, 1st gen) with Lollipop 5.0.2

Stock Firmware: 220.27.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB

On Sunday the phone began suddenly rebooting itself (it did so almost constantly at times). Sometimes I was able to get past the boot animation (which itself "lagged" on some of the boots/reboots) and be able to navigate menus or apps for 30 seconds and then another reboot would occur.
I decided to do factory reset (from the phones menu, one time I was able to navigate there without the device rebooting). Once I set up the phone, a few moments later (before the apps I had previously would download from my accounts synch) it began rebooting again... I gave up hope until the next day.

I followed to clear cache and Wipe data through the phone's stock recovery. Once I set it up, it began working fairly better. But the "hangs" and "lags" during normal operation were still occurring. The phone now rebooted rarely, but it still happened.

Yesterday and today the phone seems to be working better, and suffered no reboots, but for some reason I wake up and my phone is turned off... When turning it on again the battery was half-full.

I would like to know if this could be a hardware or software issue. In case of the former, I will have a bad time (money wise). In case of the latter, what should I do? Reflash stock firmware? Or what other thing would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

My wife as a stock/unrooted 1G Moto G (4.4.4).

Randomly it hangs... Sometimes with the display on.. the clock doesn't change. It reboots by holding the power button.

I notice it hangs more frequently during market updates, but sometimes it does it without a market update. It is much less frequent (if it happens, don't remember) when booted into safe mode. When it's hung, I'm not able to get a usb connection for adb.

When this first started, I did a factory reset. It worked fine for about a month, and now it's started again. No additional apps were installed.

I'm suspecting an internal storage write failure that isn't being handled by the operating system correctly.

• Has anyone ever heard of this happening?


• Is this a known bug in the 4.4.4 kernel? Maybe a 3rd party rom would fail gracefully?


• Any other solution? A search on XDA didn't come up with an app to exercise storage w/o flashing
