Moto display color issues? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else noticed a subtle color change, almost like a flickering when when unlocking the moto display? It is something fast but it does happen and it is getting annoying.

Yes, and it's so miniscule you wouldn't notice unless someone pointed it out.
My opinion: get over it.

I didn't notice such a thing. Not even when you point it out.
What are you talking about? I don't see what you mean while unlocking the moto display

yeah, I am trying to do that! I kinda think this could be software related so a update could fix it

I have noticed it as well

Ok i updated moto display, now I see it as well. The normal lock screen appears for a millisecond. The fact that I didn't notice it before the update proves that it wasn't there before and should be fixed easily by Motorola.
For now I deactivated the lockscreen, I never really used it.

Active Notifications lighting all pixels?

strange quirk with active notifications.
1) notifications light up using select few pixels (GOOD)
2) notifications fade out and go away completely (GOOD)
3) all pixels light up very dim for a second (KINDA ODD)
You have to have the lights off in your room for you to notice it really.
Check it out...
Mine doesn't do that in a pitch black room.

its super super dim and hard to catch if u dont OCD over things like i do.. lol
call motorola, they might be able to get your a replacement, if you havent rooted and unlocked bootloader
oh man, seriously nobody else has this going on? its such a small bug and seems fixable.. i dont wanna send back my motooo!
gonna try n reset the phone to see what happens.. my expectations are near nil though.. anyone else with this strange issue?
Just tried in a pitch black room. Saw nothing after the active display time faded out.
The whole screen flickers gray right? I'm on a Rogers X. Mine does that.

Just for giggles, I checked out my phone and two coworkers phones and none of them do it. Two AT&T, one Verizon.
Yeah, I don't think that's normal. The whole reason Active Notifications doesn't annihilate your battery life is because only the pixels that need power, get power. That's how AMOLED works. You can turn off each individual pixel. Which is why you don't see something like Active Notifications on phones with an IPS panel such as the Nexus 5. IPS works by lighting a giant backlight, and the pixels act something like shutters, opening and closing as needed. Of course it's more technical than that, but in layman's terms, that's how you can think of it.
So yeah. Something's up. Those pixels should not be lighting up on an AMOLED display. If it were an IPS, that would be normal.
Two Rogers phones here, neither do that.(I am running 4.4 though)
My VZW MM doesn't do that. Seems strage, as it's a big selling point for the phone that it only lights the pixels you need.
i have the same problem, im on 4.2.2, i will take it to motorola

thanks for the explanation! cant wait for OLEDs to be ubiquitous.. wonder what comes after OLED, or is it the final frontier for active matrix
Since its a problem that only I would notice, and only in the darkest of rooms, I Dont want to go thru the hassle of explaining to the poor guys at the Rogers store why I want to exchange the phone. I'm wondering whether it may be a software related thing... What's the best way to reset the software besides deleting all data.. Is there a way to get down deeper and scrub it clean?

Well, it's most likely just a software bug in the Rogers 4.2 rom. As the others who are not on Rogers do not have this issue, your best bet is probably to upgrade to the T-Mobile 4.4 ROM, which is what I'm running (I'm also with Rogers).
EDIT: Just noticed someone had said that they had Rogers phones that didn't have the issue... I say proceed with caution. You can try reflashing the Rogers stock firmware from the internet, see if that clears it up?
I've had 4 Moto X's. They all did this. It doesn't impact battery enough for me to worry about it. It may be the backlight or something though I admit I know very little about how SAMOLED works.
I think is happening is that there's some code in there that's telling the transistors to discharge throughout the matrix instead (which explains why the whole screen is dim for a second) which helps with reducing the amount of wear on individual parts of the screen (the notification icons itself). If someone can compare the ActiveNotification between 4.2.2 and 4.4, that would be nice.

Concerned about ambient display pocket dialing.

I hadn't thought about the ambient display causing problems like this. I guess it's a concern we should all be aware of. I'd rather not use a pin code to keep this from happening.
Anyone else concerned about this?

I turn on password protection. So if if an accidental press wouldn't bother me.
I never use any extra lock screen protection myself. So I'm kinda concerned.

Yep, this has been an issue for me in the few hours I've had it.

So far I haven't encountered this issue with mine.
Not near enough to discourage me from this phone but still slightly annoying to know it could be an issue.

I'd be surprised if folks at Google didn't used proximity sensor to filter noises like this.
Not an issue for me. Never keep phone in pocket but rather death grip on rt hand.

The face detection is an option. I think I read it will work in the background while ur swiping the unlock. I plan on trying it out.

I wonder how much this would affect battery life. Even with a password to prevent unintended calls, opening apps, etc. it would still cause the screen to turn on more often.
From what I understand, ambient display could be turned off. Although I would think that would be the last thing I do. But let's say for kicks that you did turn it off. How would it work without it?

Someone on Reddit posted today that the update that went out yesterday/today fixed the pocket dialing issue. I haven't seen anything official yet or had enough opportunity to test the statement though.
That's interesting. I wonder what changed to fix it. That is, if that's correct.

Update did not did it. Miss moto display already. They should have such with Motorola's way of doing it.

Try using dynamic notifications. It's almost exactly like active display

N910T3 vs N910T What are the differences?

Ok so now we have seen that there is a N910T3 out in the wild which comes with 5.1.1 out of the box.
Does anyone know the differences? Has anyone taken the time to compare anything?
I have heard that the GPS chip is different? Does anyone know if the GPS is the same or not?
Lastly, who ever has had both models do they notice any differences? Notice any bugs or issues with the T3?
I am currently dealing with some issues with the T3. Some people have told me they have experienced tons of issues and some have reported zero issues.
I'm trying weigh out my options. I am considering going back to a N910T but I would like to make an informed decision before doing that.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
One thing i did notice is that the T3 doesn't have that gap on the sides of the screen like the original model does.
I'm assuming that the T3 model is gonna be the one that gets the future updates though.
One problem I do have is that when an app crashes (and this happened when i wasnt rooted) is that an app would crash, and I would get a series of Haptic feedback on max vibration intensity like vibrations. It would vibrate once, pause and then vibrate 3 times really hard and I don't know why it does that.

Moto X (2014) grainy display

Hello!
Yesterday I bought brand new Moto X 2nd gen. Just as I turned it up for the first time I noticed some weird grain on screen. Its more visible on brighter color a like white or even green-grey color lollipop uses when notification bar is pulled down. I didn't see much people reporting this problem so I decided I will post here first. Some people were saying this is how it is on every Pentile Matrix amoled screen, but I have to disagree. Never seen any galaxy suffering for this problem before. The grain is most noticable while scrolling and its always at the same place.
Amoled is always a part of a reason why I bought this phone-never had problems before. I like everything about this phone, so I really wouldnt want this to be a deal-breaker. I still have 2 years of warranty, but I am afraid that next moto would have same problems. Can some guys verify they don't have this un-clean like grain over whole display?
Motorola Moto X 2nd gen. XT1092
Model: SM3958AN7T1
Lollipop 5.0.1 - 5.1 (updated recently, problem persists)
Help me out guys, what should I do? Go for replacement?
Thanks, H

I'm not really sure by what you mean by grain, but my display is absolutely fine. Bought my XT1097 2 days ago.. I think you should go for a replacement

Thank you both for quick answers. Well I might have gone for grainy instead of grain. Try googling grainy effect, and you will see where I am aiming .
I am contacting place where I got my phone from now. I will let you know.

You fixed screen?
Hello guys, my Moto X 2014 (XT1092) suffers from the same problem. I can see this grainy effect on the screen especially with white backgrounds, on the material keyboard and notification bar. What I have to do?
AMOLED just like that. White is not as white as on LCD/ IPS. It is normal
Well, a bit O-T here, but I thought I'd ask: how's the low brightness level on the phone?
Are the whites really turning blueish or other shades and how bright is it? I ask because I read one comment before where the person was saying that the display temains quite (too) bright even at the lowest setting and was saying that this is not a very good phone for night reading....
I bought (and returned a LG G2 before where it was the opposite: screen was too dark for normal use with any setting lower than 35%...)
Any input on this?
Edit: nevermind, soon after posting this I watched a video review where the guy was showing and saying that brightness can be dimmed down a lot and that it was fine for pre-bed time reading.
Brightness of my Moto X at mid level, automatic. Can still see the problem under the sunlight, with my eye near the screen.
i have the exact same problem too !! is this normall. it makes the screen look REALLY bad!!
Guys, Amaz sent me the replacement and the problem is still there.

Screen burning in G5s Plus?

Hi guys, I hope you are well, today I come to bring something (I hope it is isolated) about what? yes, to it, what we saw back in the G4 and G4 Plus (also in some G5 and G5 Plus) is there a reason to worry? I do not know honestly, but I wanted to share it with the community, greetings to all!
(It's minimal, I hope you can see it)

Can u elaborate bro? Ok. I checked that. It's really worrying. But there are fix right? Over the net. Is it purely hardware issue? Back to days when I was having nexus 5 i remember my touch was reacting a bit worse when charging. Still useable.

The solution is to use a blue light filter, what it does is hide this problem, but it will still be there, and if, unfortunately, it is a hardware problem, the IPS panels suffer this problem, we only hope that this case will be isolated brother
The burn in is only temporary. Every morning after I wake up the burn in is gone which is good.
