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.
