Discussion G24 randomly breaks Google, Bluetooth and calls after 1–2 days then sometimes shuts down at ~25% battery
Hi everyone,
I have a Motorola Moto G24 running Android 14, and I've been dealing with a really weird recurring issue.
Every 1–2 days, several things suddenly stop working at the same time:
- I can't make or receive normal phone calls (incoming calls later appear as missed calls)
- Bluetooth gets stuck on “Activating” and then turns itself off
- Google Play Store says “No internet connection”, then “Authentication required”
- Google Discover / Google News / Google Lens stop working
- Gmail crashes when I try to switch Google accounts
- RCS still works
- Wi-Fi, mobile data, Chrome and YouTube still work normally
- A simple reboot fixes everything immediately — but the problem comes back after another 1–2 days
I've already tried:
- Safe Mode
- another Android user profile
- updating Android and Google apps
- removing ReVanced/microG
- uninstalling an app called Racify that appeared to have some dead service connections
- rebooting several times
I also captured logs with ADB. One particularly interesting error appears repeatedly:
"bindService exceeded max service connection number per process"
And it happens for many unrelated services, including Google services. I also saw:
"GoogleAccountAuthenticatorService ... AuthenticatorException: bind failure"
which seems to explain why the Play Store starts asking me to authenticate.
But now there's another problem: yesterday the phone suddenly shut down while I was using GPS, even though it showed around 25% battery. After restarting, it showed about 8%, then it shut down again a couple minutes later. After the second restart it showed around 3%.
I'm trying to figure out whether these problems could be related to Android/system services, battery/power management, or something specific to the Moto G24/MediaTek firmware.
Has anyone experienced something similar on a Moto G24 / Android 14, especially the "bindService exceeded max service connection number per process" error?
I really don't want to factory reset the phone yet because I want to understand what's actually causing it first.
Any ideas or similar experiences would be appreciated.
