[Q] Lollipop Restarting & Optimizing Apps Randomly

[pasta1234]

Hello All,

I received the Lollipop OTA about a week ago and since then my phone has been randomly restarting on its own and then proceeding to perform some sort of process once it starts.

It says something along the lines of "Optimizing Apps 1of 119" and this process takes a while. I have tried clearing the cache but it doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas of whats happening, solutions ?

Thanks,
Pete

I can confirm the problem. Having the same issue where apps are optimized on every power on.

When my nexus 7 updated to 5.0 it did this a few times. Then mysteriously stopped doing it after a week or two.

Whenever Android boots and starts with "Optimizing App # of #" it usually means your ART cache got wiped for whatever reason (corrupted maybe). This is the same effect as if you wiped the caches in TWRP. It takes a long time because ART caches are substantially larger than Dalvik caches.

Try to plug the cable off before turning on the phone. Looks like a serious bug but that helped in my case.

I performed a factory reset last night seems to be much better so far, I will report if the issue starts up again !!

had the GB OTA update and can attest to the annoying android updating with each phone restart, fortunately I have not had any random rebooting issues as reported by others

But you do have annoying apps update at each restart right??

I have experienced these random reboots and I have also noticed that I get an error when taking screenshots where it says that either the storage is full or the app doesn't allow it. I have at least 3gb left and I have tried it across the system and it doesn't work. I am on the retail US version for XT1053

I have also some optimising situations on the restarts. Someone know what can fix or raise this situation?

the android updating stopped, not sure if it was clearing the gallery data (2GB) the helped, or booting it safe mode, anyway boot time is now back to normal

Mine only gets into the process of optimizing apps when it's connected to the power source (PC via usb or directly to the power outlet). I just have to remember to unplug before switching off the phone.
It doesn't restart on its own.

Apart from missing lots of features after the Lollipop update, I also have the optimizing problem, it takes 30min and is extremely annoying, happened 5 times already, one time was a random reboot.

Any idea how to fix it? I do not consider a factory reset a solution. Motorola has spend much time and effort in upgrading while keeping all existing settings and app configs and app data. If I knew I would need a reset I would not have "upgraded" (def would have stayed with 4.4.4 had I known some pratical features are missing, the change log and all tech sites are waay to optimistic about the Lollipop updates!).

My sister in law had the same experience.. After the 5.1 update on her XT1053 Dev Edition, she kept getting the "optimizing app xx of yy" on reboot... After a factory reset, and setting up from scratch, she is back to working fine.

Friend of mine had the same experience with his XT1053... factory reset and setup from scratch fixed it.

I received the OTA two weeks ago (retail.en.gb), after some days i had a reboot and the optimization of 130apps

So i decided to do a factory reset and install just few application.

Tonight i forgot to put the phone on charge and this morning i had again reboot and optimizaion, just 80 apps bat took 10minutes!

I hope someone found a fix for this annoing issue

Try encrypting then factory reset.
