Thought I would share this here - though I believe this is effecting other Moto models as well.
The Moto app "CQATest" seems to be the culprit with major instability issues I've had since the Android Marshmallow update. Before the update, my phone was so smooth and fast. Then the update came, and I blamed it on Marshmallow. Screen response to anything was very slow. Sometimes completely unresponsive. If i tried to touch a notification in my notification bar, it might be 5-10 seconds later before anything would happen, and the app would open. Sometimes it wouldn't ever open at all. Or when Facebook did open, it might take another 10-15 seconds before it went to the item it had notified me about. The camera in particular was slow to respond - with visible lag whenever trying to take a video - or would just crash. The phone itself got into a fairly normal habit of rebooting itself several times a day. And on startup, sometimes it would take 3-5 minutes before it would finally get to the home screen. Simply unacceptable.
So yesterday I started Googling for answers, and ran across a thread on Android Forums talking about issues people were having with CQATest. I immediately went and found the app in the settings>applications menu, under "All Apps" - force stopped and disabled it, then rebooted.
Guess what? The phone boots normally again! And the general responsiveness and functionality are back to what it was prior to the Marshmallow update. I couldn't be more pleased right now - because I was getting very frustrated with what is a relatively new phone.
I'd be interested if others have experienced something similar? Or are having similar lag issues and try this solution to see if it works for you.
Mods - if this CAN be confirmed, it really should be shared with ALL Moto users who've been upgraded to Marshmallow and have similar issues. The Android Forums thread user was originated by someone on the Moto X for instance.
Thanks for your time and feedback.
