Color banding in pictures... any suggestions?? - Moto X Q&A

Hey guys, first time posting anything on the boards. I recently rooted my previously-unlocked Sprint Moto X, installed Xposed Framework, a few modules, and have enjoyed so far... except for one big issue...
Pictures rendered in either Chrome or Dolphin, or in any web-based apps like theChive or Pulse, display low quality with pixelation and banding. I don't think it's related to anything I've installed recently... I'm pretty sure the problem was showing up before I rooted, maybe after I first got the ota for 4.4.2 a couple weeks ago. Any ideas? Thanks!

you should probabaly go back to stock, and if it's still happening sounds like you need to warranty that thing.

[Q] Motorola Droid 3 Green Screen Issue

I have been noticing a weird thing with my Droid 3. I love the phone. I haven't had any issues. I do get this annoying green screen effect during transitions. It only seems to happen if I have Netflix or Youtube running in the background. I can fix the problem by going into my settings and turning off my screen animations. I am in the process of getting it exchanged. I will let you know if it is just a fluke or maybe a possible issue with the phone software.
Is this happening to anyone out there with a Droid 3?
video coming soon. Still uploading
I have the same problem between screen changes
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
My wifes did that too, but she was using just texts. I turned off animations and to save battery, and noticed it hadn't come back yet. Thought maybe I was only one
Edit: she says it still does it...hmmm dunno...hope it gets fixed in next update

tried to replicate the problem on mine, but didn't have any issues. Hmm.
Green is usually an overlay color when drawing from a framebuffer. This just means something is forcing screen output before the frame is fully drawn. It's an out-of-sync drawing issue somewhere in the software or driver and isn't a hardware problem. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it happens so often that it annoys you. It's not hurting anything.
I've seen this as well with youtube...I've also seen it show a partial view of my homescreen while transitioning between menus....not a big deal, but hopefully it'll get fixed soon

Happened to my wifes and my phone today. Kept going to green screen when trying to open the camara app. Had to reboot to make it go away. Im also on my third droid 3 phone. First one scratched the paint finish next to the keyboard when sliding open. The second droid 3 the speaker sounded like it was shorting out when calling or talking to someone.

Have you tried rebooting the phone, instead of getting it replaced? A reboot can work wonders.

wife's phone did this while in camera mode. looked lik she was peering into the matrix. rebuffer or not, it's an obvious software glitch. i factory reset her phone so that vzw would log the activation.

Yeah, a stuck app that is unable to redraw will do the same thing but instead of a flash it's a permanent green-screen until the app is force closed or the phone is rebooted. I've had the camera do this to me a few times and Motorola has already come forward saying the camera app has problems, including this one, that they're working on.
i could live with an occasional software glitch if everythign wasn't so dammed slow. i've yet to see this phone actually perform a function faster than my D2. the software overhead is unbelievable.

Well we could be in luck, it looks like root on the D3 could very likely happen sometime this week. 2.3.4 has been successfully rooted with the phone already on 2.3.4 and the bootloader still locked. We have P3 all over it now, too.

What did you do after the root?

So, as most of you know a root for the AHD came out yesterday. I wanted to say thank you to everyone that worked hours and hours on getting the root, even though Dan gets the money lol. But there are many new comers to android out there, including myself. Coming from the iphone I can tell you everything you can do once you jailbreak and iDevice, but what all have you guys done after you rooted your device. I have owned one android and played around for a while on many, but most of which were completely unlocked and had new roms installed ect. ect. So I thought it would be a good idea for people to be able to post what all they have used the root for so far, so maybe we can use those ideas and make this phone even more awesome.
The first thing I did do was calibrate my battery and have noticed a little bit better life today than I do most days.
I also uninstalled some of AT&T's annoying bloatware (which IMO belongs on NO phone)
So share what you did and give some ideas to all the readers!!!
Thanks again Dan for the root and I know Matt worked for hours and hours on it, so I would like to thank you too

Great thread idea!
First i removed att bloatware/unused ringtones and notifications
Changed boot animation
Gave already owned apps root permissions to do things like one touch reboot, auto dpi changing.
And right now I'm working on changing the color of my softkeys
Underclocked.
Once i get home from my business trip i plan on porting cwm and seeing what we can do from there

Lol I was thinking the same thing. The EB40 is an awesome upgrade and I def considering it. I just am at home and work where my phone can be charged all of the time anyways. Not to mention once we get some bloat free roms that run more efficiently, the EB20 should be okay.
After rooting,I install RootExplorer,SQ Lite,Titanium Backup,etc.

[Q] Noticible lag when scrolling through the homescreens?

hello, i am coming from the nexus 4.
Finally i got my Htc one and i love it, but im having some lags, while im scrolling through the screens.Its like a little stottering.
Now im asking myself if it is normal, cause i just have three screens in use and just two widgets (original from sense) in use.
It's just not as fluid as i wished it would be. I reseted the phone, and als already wiped everything.
i would really apreciate any help or tip, or if somebody could post his experience.
thanks

Hello thats strange i even have a heavy live wall paper and absolutly no lag.....
0 lag here, on anything that I've done on this phone,
Bit of a pain but you could try a wipe? I have had no lag at all when moving through home screens.
Don't expect it to be lag free out of the box until a few OTA's. HTC one x had more than five ota updates and ever since JB which came after 6 months it's been super fluid.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
No homescreen lag for me, either, and I have plenty of widgets as well as the built-in Weather Live Wallpaper. I've seen the occasional in-app lag, but Sense has been surprisingly fluid.
So your n4 had less lag?
If anything after you flash a custom ROM I'd put money on these little issues being resolved

Yeah, the nexus 4 was less laggy ist not that its always laggy but some times the screens react a lttle to late.
But can it be an hardware issue? Cause everything else just works fine and its hard to get one.
Heres a short vid so you can imagine what i mean.
Had this phone for more than 2 months now and never had any lag

Already wiped the device twice, but didn't help, still laggy while swiping through the screens.Sometimes more sometimes less. I dont even use the Batterysafe mode.
I see your phone was searching for network, this may caused your "lag"

There will be some minor lags here and there.. this isn't a light aosp Rom that's 250mb or less. Sense is over a gig in size. Far from light. Be patient and 4.2.2 aosp will come eventually.

its even like this in airplane mode, i really dont know if to wait for the next Ota or to send it back, cause the scrolling through the screens reminds me if the galaxy s3 times.

No lag at all, did you copy all your data directly from your nexus to your one? Could be that something that's either been restored from there or titanium is playing merry havoc with your shiney new phone. Try cleaning up your internal memory and try to avoid restoring anything and see if the problem persists, then restore things one thing at a time til you find the culprit.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
first of all i want to thank you all for your quick answers, im really thankfull for that.
I havent restored anything from my nexus, a i wrote above the device was even wiped twice and i have just installed maybe ten applications from the store. im just worried cause everybody writes that there is absolutly no lag, but i defenetly feel one.
And one more question, is your gallery app also so lagy while scrolling through the pics?
And there where some images. and songs from Htc before i wiped everything, can anybody tell me how to restore them?
t-mobile stock everthing here. (1.27)
i noticed it too.
Especially when scrolling around tapatalk, htc one is noticeably laggier than nexus 4. disappointing.

Lighten nav bar

Hey all. I'm not rooted yet. Just got the device yesterday and I'm loving it. I was watching some YouTube review videos and some people seemed to have a lighter nav bar than mine, specifically on the home screen. Is there a setting I'm missing that lightens it up without rooting, of course?
The rooting still seems too rudimentary for my tastes. I'm hoping we get a simple standard root process and a custom recovery like cwm or twrp soon. Not many custom roms yet either. What gives?
Thanks.

Disable vibration when unlocking through active notifications?

Does anyone know of a fix or app that will disable vibration (and haptic feedback universally across the phone) when unlocking through active notifications?
I love the moto x, but the way it vibrates all the time really annoys me. Friggin hate how OEMs force that into the ROMs. Thanks for any help. You all rule.

Anyone have an idea?

Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
I had the phone when it first came out and the vibration used to drive me crazy. I will say I picked it up the other day and with the KITKAT update the vibration is now barely noticeable.
It really drives me nuts too. I loathe haptic response. It just makes a slick phone feel stupid.
I'm thinking there has to be some kind of app that will override system wide haptic control. I just am unaware of it. Does anyone know of an app like that? I am rooted.

I'm thinking more like modifying the apk to disable this. Haven't looked at it yet.

The problem for me is that it's a Republic Wireless Moto X and I don't believe the build for it has been released or is even in the wild. If it was, getting an altered version would be my top priority.
Coming from a rooted, unlocked, CM 10.2 running LG Optimus G, having something that can't be disabled is REALLY annoying.
Thanks for the comments. If anyone knows of an app or anything else related to this, I'd be super appreciative.

Root exist. JCase's works just fine, and exactly as described. While I haven't checked I'm pretty sure the same reverse unroot process works on it as well. Haven't checked though.
Hopefully Motorola fixes it themselves, but a nice custom stock rom would be really nice as well. Just needs to be RW specific as they have their wifi portion hard written into the system.
