The other day I took my phone out of my pocket and set it down. I watched as it unlocked itself, opened a new text message, and began typing gibberish. I could see the letters on the keyboard popping up and then moving around before settling on a letter. It got through about three gibberish words before a phone call came through and the phone began ringing.
I have had this happen before (gibberish texts sent to people) but have never caught it in the act. It seems to happen when an event is happening on the phone - either an incoming call or an alarm going off. It's like some instructions are being sent in the phone internally but are being manifested through input on the touch screen or into the Google Voice SMS app.
Anyone else see anything similar or know what might be going on?
I'm running unrooted with the latest OTA updates.

That is the most intense thing I have ever heard ever.
I'd root that baby. Maybe an Android "virus"?

ok, first off...
secondly, your thread title alone is tempting enough for me to post a reaction.
thirdly, maybe there's a delay in your screen touch input? or maybe someone has remote access into your evo? (this is going to make me sound dumb and ignorant, but please bear with me).. i know there are ways to get access into iphones to control them via commands through text messages. maybe that's happening with your evo?? again, i'm almost embarrassed to even be entertaining this idea since android is quite locked down in its nature, but it's the closest thing i could think of as a possible cause besides paranormal activity.
...which, in and of itself, sounds so awesome and creepy.
I had similiar things happen when using any custom rom based off the new ota..
Its something with the screen sensitivity they changed for the ppl who were having grounding issues..its the only thing I can think of..
I think I also have a paranormal situation of my own! Well maybe, but its very curious... A certain phone number/friend of mine has told me that my phone is calling him while my phone is completely idle. This has happened twice in the last 10 days or so. The first day he missed the call, the second time he was able to answer it and it was dead air. My phone was never touched; it was home alone the first time and it was streaming bluetooth music the second time. I know this sounds absurd, but unless it starts happening more frequently I guess I'll just deal with the mysteriousness of it all.

the ghost would have to use a hot dog for the screen to recognize him/her LOL..
i myself dont believe in ghost but thats trippy.
lol a floating hot dog typing things by its self. WTH I just laughed out loud and nearly woke my wife up. That was funny if you picture it in your head lol.
When i got my first Vogue, it would do that. Randomly resend text, send garbled text, and call people. Without any interaction whatsoever.

That is hilarious. I would have freaked out seriously. Is your phone rooted?
My phone is not rooted and was running stock with the latest OTA. I am leaning towards the theory that it is something to do with the latest OTA which addressed the grounding issue.
I enabled a password on my phone. Last night I kept hearing these little noises, like a bug beating its wings in really quick, short durations. I was looking all over before I realized it was coming from my phone. Face down, on my nightstand, it was randomly pressing buttons on the password screen and I was hearing the short vibrations of the tactile feedback. It had done it enough that I was locked out and had to wait 30 seconds.
Something's not right in Evo land.
You definitely need an exorcists.
Since you live in UT, I am sure there lots of Mormon High Priest that can help you out.
Good luck.

Let's discuss how we use this watch so that we can share ideas with each other to further increase our experiences with it.
1) obviously notifications. I really like the fact that I don't have to pull out my phone to check every notification. I look at them on my watch and I can dismiss the ones that aren't important or choose to take out my phone if it is a notification that needs immediate attention.
2) I play Ingress, so getting portal attack notifications or comm message notifications are really handy. I can then decide if I want to pull out my phone to recharge the portals or simply dismiss the notifications.
3) speech to text is awesome. When people text me, I can reply by voice which it sends through my hangouts. One thing I noticed is that when I say 'OK Google', I don't have to wait for the prompt to show up to issue my command. I simply say all at once, "OK Google send text to (name) mobile." The animation catches up, then waits for my message which then I say what my message is.
Especially handy when I'm driving since I can still read the watch while I have my hands on the steering wheel at the 10 & 2 positions to make sure it got what I said.
I get many different hangouts notifications from different recipients so it's nice that I can pick which message I want to on my watch, then respond to them by voice all from my watch.
4) navigation is really helpful. I can now start Google maps navigation and get turn by turn alerts on my watch while running Ingress on my phone so I can still collect XM while driving and not miss out on navigation instructions.
The notification vibrates on my watch and lights up with the instruction, and even though I'm in the Ingress app, I still get the voice prompts from my phone which tells me to "stay on the second lane from the right" which the watch doesn't show. It only shows me that I need to make a right turn at such and such street. Really handy.
5) I'm very forgetful so before i got the watch, I set reminders with time and dates on my phone. But now, I can simply say "OK Google set a reminder for tomorrow at 12:00 pm to wish mom a happy birthday" all from my watch.
6) I installed the Pebble Locker app which allows me to make my watch a trusted Bluetooth device so I can bypass my lock screen code. And when my phone gets too far away from me (if someone were to steal it), the Bluetooth connection gets disconnected and locks my phone automatically.
These are just a few of my use cases where it's been incredibly helpful to not constantly pull out my phone from my pocket.
What are yours?

For that Pebble Locker app, can you shorten the distance the phone will lock?
I.e. the Moto 360 Bluetooth range is pretty far and I don't want the phone to be still in its unlocked state if I wonder 25 ft away from the phone.

What I hate about navigation on the watch is that starting it will turn on the screen on my phone. If I need walking direction and the phone is on my pocket, this will burn a lot battery and the phone is prone to accidental touches.

2. Get phone out of my pocket
3. Wait till routing calculations is done
4. Turn off screen
5. Put phone back in pocket

I also play Ingress and I have had attack notifications off since i got my Black Gaurdian long ago, but i turned them back on the day i got my 360 and i love seeing them pop up. I can hit "Open on Phone" and when i pull the phone out of my pocket Ingress is already loading/loaded so i can recharge and/or @ the attacker in Comm.

One thing that annoys me, and this is more of a google now problem, is the card that shows up for an hour before reminders. I wish there was a way where you can either keep it from showing up early at all, or at least make it 10 min or something. For most reminders, I don't need it to cover my watch face for an hour and if I swipe it away I don't even get reminded at the correct time. Has anyone else noticed this?

I rather use Any.do for reminders but I won't be able to set it as a default app. At least I don't think.
I got my Moto 360 yesterday and tried my primary use case this morning. Wife and I run marathons and like many (some? ) runners we obsess over our stats. We've been using Garmin 410s to record our runs. My problem with that is that the pace is reports while running is really noisy - not useful for helping me to maintain my goal pace. The other issue is that the HRM gets bad readings later in my rn, probably because I perspire heavily. I got a bluetooth chest strap and it works great on my phone. But the phone is a relative PITA to use on runs. I have to keep it in a zip lock bag in a pocket and pockets are few in running gear. It's great to have an accessory on my wrist that can give me instant stats w/out digging my phone out of wherever I stowed it. Better yet, a tap on the phone starts recording when I'm ready to run, not before I stick my phone in my pocket. And when I'm done, the phone uploads my stats automatically.
good stuff
Hi Guys,
Im happy with the moto360 but one thing bugs the life out of me!
When the screen is off and you activate it back on i notice there is a lag before the watch tells the correct time. Its only for a split second and you can see the time hands go from the old position to the correct position.
Can this be fixed somehow?
I've had my 360 for a couple days. I've also noticed this and it really bugs me. Most of the time I just take a quick glance at my watch and I look away right as it shows the correct time. This is super annoying. I hope there is a way to fix this.

Its the way it has to be.
Either:
1) The clock is continually updating the watch hands (and time) in the background and you get 1 hour of battery life with screen off.
Or
2) watch updates time RIGHT when display turns on (since it can't predict exactly when you will need the time), then updates the hands to reflect it. There is a small delay.
It may update the time every 15 or 30 (etc) minutes in the background anyways, but #2 still applies.
And for most people, the delay is so small that it doesn't bug us. We definitely notice it, but maybe some didn't wear a normal watch in the past and havent grown so accustomed to 100% instantaneous time updates.
I'm sure in the future they will be able to minimize the delay though.

Hello,
Just got a new PixelXL and am having issues with notifications from the gmail app. During the day, the alerts seem fine. But during the middle of the night, they are hit and miss. I need them to wake me up for emergency alerts, and I'm finding that at some hours they go off without issue, but other times they don't.
For example, this morning it went off at 4am with no issue. At 8am I woke up, looked at my phone and had 0 alerts. However, after waking my screen and then shutting it off, I suddenly got alerts. I had missed 6 alerts between 6:45am and 7:45am, that never pushed in to my phone at all.
I've been searching for answers and found info about battery optimization, however my phone is set to not use battery optimization so that is not the issue. Does anybody else have any suggestions?
@prodiac,
Welcome to the Pixel/Nexus world. I'm sorry to tell you that this has been an ongoing issue on Nexus 6, 5X, 6P, and now the Pixel and XL for at least two years. Google used to have a help thread on it, but they closed it early this year as "solved", even though it's clearly not. There are some things folks do, like disable battery optimization for gmail, but realistically I can tell you that doesn't really help. FWIW, there's no known solution....
Are these from specific sender's? Set up a Gmail rule to forward it to one of the free email to text services and text them to yourself.

FWIW, when my device(s) start delayed notifications, it doesn't matter who the sender is. My Nexus 6 did it (sporadically) for 2 years and now my Pixel XL does it, too. As the OP noted, it's usually later in the afternoon/early evening....

Yes!! Same here. Sometimes they get lost in space I guess. So annoying. Anyways.. I got the Gmail notification from your reply at 3:40 EST. Still no XDA notification though.
I know there is a notification issue with almost every app but I'm curious if the issue is half the fault of android and half the fault of the XDA app. I've been having lots of issues with it on the Pixel that I never had even once on my GS5.
For example for the past 2 nights I've been having conversations in 2 or 3 threads with people where we were posting responses maybe once every 5 min. So pretty much a non stop conversation. I kept having this issue where I would post my reply and get the message saying it was posted but yet I didn't see it in the thread. I'd refresh and it still wasn't there. I'd close the app. Still not there. If I logged into the website via chrome it was there right away. This has happened ever day since I've had the phone. I've obv cleared cache/data for the app which did nothing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Also did flashed factory image 3 times and set up as new for other reasons but even that didn't correct the issues with this app. Other random things happened to. I was trying to post 2 pictures last night. It only showed one of them. I went back to edit the post and it showed the filenames of both but I couldn't remove them. Logged into the website in chrome and remade the post. So pretty much there are just random VERY annoying issues with this app and this phone.
Is this an Android issue with all phones (Samsung, HTC, etc) or just Pixel/Nexus phones? I have the same issue with notifications.

Looks like it's happening on other phones too. In the link posted above, I saw Galaxy S5 and HTC One M9 listed.
Happened on my 5X, returned that and got a 6P and it happened on that as well. I had to use Nine for my work email it was so bad. So now it randomly happens work my hotmail and gmail addresses in the Gmail app, it's really unbelievable.
The delay in syncing has been irrational for me, but appears to be based on how long since the phone was last used.
I am trying out a different mail app, BlueMail [Play Store][Free], to see if that syncs quicker.

This is why I think it has to do with "Doze" or whatever the deep sleep is in 7.1.1. But what is odd is that its beeing noted on 6.x devices as well and I never had an issue there. Might have to switch to my N6 and test it out.

With my phone sitting idle for over thirty minutes, I sent myself an email to the account on my Pixel from another account.
Bluemail notified me immediately, Gmail app never did, despite saying it last synced three minutes later.

I tried Bluemail and it does appear to be working better for notifications. Thanks.
My Type/Blue mail email app gets laggy with the notifications when my phone has been off more than a couple hours.
It was all good with Lollipop.
Then got laggy with Marshmallow and continues with Nougat.
Been like this on a few different phones.
Ever since that stupid Doze was implemented, or whatever it's called that comes with Android to sleep apps.
And yes, I do remove it from Battery Optimization.
I have like five different email vendors (yahoo, google, etc).
Never bothered to see if it was happening with all or just one of them.
I just know I'd wake up in the AM.
See no new messages.
Then pick up my phone and five minutes later I get a bunch of new message notifications.
Since I'm sleeping, it hasn't been a huge enough issue for me to investigate.
But I will say that I miss the non-doze with Lollipop + Greenify.
Then again, I get stupendous battery life nowadays.

I've seen the same thing on several phones for the past year or more. I've noticed it on gmail, inbox and hangouts. I think it's the low power state the system gets in after a while, like at night as you said. When deep sleep gets to 96-97%, the phone is next to powered off, hence the good battery life. Only a guess though. I would still like to be notified, that's why I have notifications on. Maybe a kernel tweak to keep the phone out of deep sleep would help, but would hit the battery life. Maybe a very low minimum cpu setting would help. Like you said, it's not that big of a deal for me. Most of my family uses hangouts so I was more concerned about missing messages than emails but most of them come as they should. Nothing's perfect, I'm pretty happy with android and the pixel and the folks here that share what they know with everyone.
To be honest it's a complete joke that there is such a big issues with this and they can't figure out simple notifications. I've never had even the slightest issue like this on any of my past phones. The worst part is that it's not even consistent and there is no pattern to when they come. Just completely random.
For the past...3 days...my new Google Pixel 6 Pro has decided that 7 am is a good wake up time for me (the cats don't mind, they get fed earlier). It's not an alarm though, there's nothing to disable on the screen, and talking to the assistant to "disable alarm" does nothing. It starts at 7 sharp and crescendos until it ends at 7:02 exactly.
I looked through threads, and couldn't find anything similar, so am wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this?
I know I had something similar, and there have definitely been similar reports previously in this section, although it's not Pixel 6-specific, and might not even be Pixel-specific at all. Check the "Bedtime" tab at the bottom right of the Clock app. Although in that case, it did show up as a separate alarm as well when I had it enabled.
Thanks for the thougth - that wasn't even enabled yet on my phone. Go figure, yesterday (my birthday as it were), I woke up on my own at 3 am and it never went off. This morning though? Back to the shenanagins. At this point I'm about ready to throw my hands in the air and just SET my normal alarm to 7!
As much of a pain it can be, I think if I were in your shoes for much longer, I would consider a factory reset. Either that or we could trade phones - my wake up time is 7 AM most mornings. j/k

Do you use Tasker? If so, I think the "Use Reliable Alarms" setting needs to be disabled, although this may relate to another clock/alarm issue and not the one you're having. Can try it anyway.

Sadly, not any more. I had previously removed Join (by I think the same author) because it meant going through adb and even then it didn't always work properly.
So, set my "normal" alarm to 7 am tomorrow. We'll see if that overrides the annoying alarm with my normal alarm. If so, I guess I just...deal with getting up at 7 am? Yay? My writing partner will appreciate that if it means I get more writing done...
When I flashed a13 beta 4.1 , I rebooted the device after root and this clicking sound came out of my p6pro, with no way to stop it. It got louder as it went too, scared me a bit
It was the alarm that must've been backed up to my Gmail or something. All I could do was flash the firmware again.

Does the one that you don't intentionally have use a different alarm sound, or anything else different about it (what the icon and/or alarm screen when it's going off)?
Yeah, finish Game of Thrones, will ya?

Yeah, it's got a beep that steadily increases in volume and frequency. BOTH went off at 7 am this morning, with me disabling MY alarm in relatively short order (have to solve a math problem) but the rogue one going until 7:02.
Haha, I wish I was that successful. I'd be happy to just break even on a book at this point!

When you got your phone did you install your apps from a backup, maybe from another phone? Also, do you have an old calendar event that may be triggering this?
Yes, I installed from my old phone, a Motorola One 5G Ace. It didn't really do it as a backup, which I thought was odd, but paired the two phones somehow.
I have no events on my calendar at 7 am. Any of my calendars, actually. I just went through them all and checked. I don't think I have any truly oddball apps - though I did have to switch to one new app with the transition to this phone. Pure Calendar Widget was no longer available, so I went to the paid version of Business Calendar. That doesn't appear to have any alarms associated with it.
I'm really at a loss. And as much as it would annoy me, I'm debating the factory reset. But if I restore from a backup, wouldn't I just be restoring the same problem back into place?

If you installed/transferred from an old phone, I'm wondering if you have an app or setting or something that got transferred over that is causing this. Maybe a system app that doesn't show up in the user app list or something.
Yeah, I wouldn't restore from an old phone or backup. Seen people have problems when doing this. A clean flash, imo, is always best when setting up a new phone, including clean installing all your apps. At least it will eliminate any problems that may have been caused by restoring old app data, etc...
See, part of my issue is I don't want to lose voicemails etc. My Mom died 2 months ago, so I want to make sure I keep those messages as long as I can...
I guess I go back to removing apps that I don't use consistently until I find the one causing issues.
I'll find out in several hours for sure, but I think I have been completely missing the mark blaming my phone (and it goes to show my hearing perception is fading) ... I got a new atomic alarm clock at the end of last month. After the beeping alarm went off this morning and my head happened to be turned in a different direction, I went over to that alarm clock and the alarm was turned on. Sigh. I've turned it off, but I bet you that solves my issues.
Boy do I feel like a moron now...
Not much help but when it goes off go to settings and look on notifications and should show rouge app that way maybe also you could try do not disturb mode but alarms could over ride it

Wow, glad you found the cause. That's all that matters.
A couple of years ago, for weeks I kept getting woken up by a noise which I was assuming was related to our cat (even though it was a new and regular noise). I finally found it was our spare refrigerator's icemaker accidentally got turned on, and I don't have that fridge hooked up to the water, so it kept trying to make ice out of air, and that fridge is on exactly the opposite side of the wall I sleep on. Not the same thing as your situation, but man, now the one or two times after that I heard that noise, I went straight to the spare fridge, and it was always that the icemaker accidentally got turned on, but it doesn't happen anymore, as we both now know to double-check that "arm" that turns it on after we're done in that fridge's freezer.
That alarm didn't go off this morning (shocker, right?) ... but I must have had a night terror that woke me up earlier, because I SWEAR I experienced my "normal alarm" (having to solve a math problem to turn off the alarm) and when I looked at the clock it was 6:43. I had adjusted my normal alarm back to 8:15. Needless to say I was up far before that point!
Great, so this stuff is driving me so nuts it's freaking me out in my sleep!
