I found that when starting and the moto X does show the animation screens at start up it then goes to the optimizing apps

Also with over 2000 views to this forum one would think that there would be a cure for this problem. Sorry I opened the box in which this phone came

Typically the "cure" is to wipe the phone. This was a major OS update. It's always better to start fresh.

+1
Same here, tried reset and cache wipe. This is why, sports fans, Lenovo/Motorola, is dead to me. I'm done, time to move on to something else. Now with over 3k views and nothing from Motorola and still now cure, sad indeed.

It is a stupid bug. SORRY I UPDATED!

Sorry for intemperance. After clearing cache and power rebooting - it is optimizing 2 of 56 apps. So it IS a bug.

My wife lost her phone and just started using my old moto x which I hadn't used in months. Installed the update did the reset and now getting this "optimizing....." bug. It is happening every time she restarts (doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not}.
Phone worked great when I used it, regret installing so-called update.

This post is now up to 15,000 views, so clearly not an isolated issue and unlikely related to a single corrupt app (unless it's an app we all have on our Verizon Moto X's and can't remove.) Where's Motorola/Verizon on this? I've done the cache wipe thing, as well as removed a lot of unused apps, and it still happens. I don't see the point of doing a full wipe and reset, because from reading posts about this on this forum and others, it doesn't seem to solve the problem and is just a big hassle.

I've been having a similar issue since this morning. I thought I'd succesfully left my phone charging overnight but it appears that it wasn't the case because when I tried using it when I woke up, the phone would not turn on so I pressed power and the swirling dots appeared and then the "Android" welcome or whatever but then my phone went black again. After this, I figured I should try charging it again and I turned it on but the message "Android starting... Optimizing app 18 of 121." appeared. It went on like this for a while until it turned off again without ever completing the optimization. I turned it on again and now the numbers were different (i.e. 12 of 40 or whatever) and then it turn off AGAIN with completing the optimization and this for several more tries.
Also worth noting is that the phone won't even turn on if not connected to external power, even the swirling dots won't appear.
I don't know what's happening and I really need to fix this soon because I don't have another phone and I'm waiting for a really important call.

Please help a user out :'(

If your phone won't turn on unless connected to external power, not sure there is a fix.

Mine did the optimizing apps this morning for the first time since Lollipop upgrade late last year; I had it on charger during restart, something I don't normally do. Did another restart a little while later (not connected to charger) with no problems.

I've been having the issue where my phone just turns off as soon as I plug it up, even if it has almost half battery! This is the first time I've had the optimizing thing... Does anyone have any idea why my phone turns off when I plug it up?

I've read elsewhere that a "feature" of the phone is that holding the power button down for eight seconds will trigger the optimization. I'll be testing that one shortly.

Thanks it helped, a lot !

Re: "Android is Starting" "Optimizing App x of xxx" With Restarts of the phone 5.1 Verizon

I was able to trigger the optimation with an eight-second long press of the power button. I know it doesn't help with the random reboots, but at least here's something to avoid.

Re: "Android is Starting" "Optimizing App x of xxx" With Restarts of the phone 5.1 Verizon

I'm having the same problem, but unrelated to the state of charging. It doesn't happen, but once in a while my Moto X (2013) shuts off. It just happened and it's probable that the optimization was triggered my greater than eight second press of the power button. So it's good to know that may be the cause of that annoying optimization. The crash is another problem.

Re: "Android is Starting" "Optimizing App x of xxx" With Restarts of the phone 5.1 Verizon

Method that works for me to avoid app optimization in every boot of moto x 2013 :

" Never press power button for more than 4-5 sec. to boot it"

I observed the screen stays dark when its charging even after pressing power button for 4-5 sec. , but keep patience and wait for at least 20-25 sec. , and you will see the boot animation , otherwise try again . Its better to wait for 25 sec. than waiting for 15 -45 min. for app optimization .

Again " Never exceed 4-5sec. while pressing power button whether charging or not charging and whether you see boot animation or not. "
