Hi, I've started to have this problem yesterday afternoon and I don't know what to do.
Whenever I turn the screen on everything is distorted, with white and black lines going all across the screen. After putting the phone in sleep mode and going back to the lock screen multiple times, the screen fixes itself. When I look at the screen in landscape mode the same thing happens. I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or something else because sometimes when I drag the notification bar down, that seems to fix the screen itself. Any solutions? I tried searching all over for an answer but couldn't find any.
Thanks.
bump..Someone help please?
Sounds like a hardware problem, loose cable of some sort I would guess. Try to wipe and flash any 1.6 roms to rule out the bad 2.1 rom. Not likely but worth a try.
Good luck.
I had GPS problem since a member posted a fix for GPS fast detection. I tried, and ended up being not working at all.
Second the problem is worse. After taking a video.. randomly this problem popped up.
I can take pictures, but it only shows previews before taking picture when it starts up, then freezes once camera loads.
Screen doesn't show what picture I am taking, but only the frozen picture at the start up of the camera. (IDK how to explain better)
But when you take the picture, it actually takes the photo of what you are trying to take.
On the video on other hand, I can start it. It stays on 0:00 and I cannot press pause nor stop. Only way to get out was pressing home button, but no videos are recorded.
What rom are you using?

I had the same problem with the camera and came here to see if I could fix it. While the page was loading on my pc, I rebooted the phone and it took care of the camera freezes
I have 2 potentially related questions about launching the Moto Camera app. After the Lollipop update, I haven't been able to use the twist/shake motion to launch the camera unless the phone is unlocked, and the screen is on. So if my screen is dark, or sitting on the lock screen, twisting my phone does nothing, except make me look stupid. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there any way to get this feature back?
Potentially related, the little camera icon in the bottom right of the lock screen has also disappeared. Other posts about other phones say this is related to the quick start settings in the camera app. In the Moto Camera app, the only option is the twist quick start on/off setting, nothing about the lock screen. Does anyone have any suggestions about this?
I'm having several other Lollipop related issues, so I may just reset my phone, and hope it fixes it... :fingers-crossed:
Replying to my own thread, in case anyone else has the problem. I wound up doing the reset, and it fixed both issues. Nothing else I tried worked.
Hi i'm using radium rom marshmallow and i have an issue where i'm unnable to use the camera, everything else is working and I actually tried with different roms is there something i messed up? and if so does anybody know a solution to this issue?

Hey guys!
So I'll put a video of my cellphone and how the problem looks like right below.
Last week I installed a few apps from Play Store for studying and after a while the phone screen started to behave with a glitch: It started to flash some vertical lines and sometimes parts of the screen are placed in other places. If I touch the screen where an icon used to be but due to the glitch it is in another place of the screen the app opens normally. Like this glitch is more about an illusion. Sometimes the whole screen can go black or white and then it turns off. Sometimes the colour scheme is inverted. (In the video you can see itbetter)
When I try to turn on the screen again by pushing the Power Button the screen can blink quickly so I can't unlock it.
I saw a lot of things on internet but actually nothing really helped me. I suspected that it was a kind of virus but I changed the ROM 3 times (flashing Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Android 5.0 Lollipop and Android 4.4 KitKat) and the problem still haunts me. When I'm setting the cellphone up the screen is OK and everytime I can open an app this glitch stops. (As you can see in the video) But when I go to the home screen this glitch starts immediatly.
I've heard that it has to do with the battery or it is a hardware problem. But I don't know why this problem only happens in the home screen. On fastboot screen the screen is OK too.
I'm trying this forum really hoping that someone appears with the solution. Thank you so much!
