Hi all,
I have searched for some info on this on the forum, but couldn't fin any.
I have just bought a Moto G (2014) via Amazon. I am super happy about the phone, and I haven't experienced any of the problems listed in many forums.
However, I do have one: basically, my keyboard sometimes works great, other times it feels like every letter is shifted down by a few millimetres, so I can't write almost anything. It seems to happen randomly at times. I installed two different keyboards, which also allow for calibration, but the difference between OK and bad at random times remains.
As this isn't always there, I would exclude is the hardware specifically. But what's the problem then? Android?
I would greatly appreciate any tip on this.
Many thanks!
G.

I know there are tons of threads complaining about the display, this isn't one of them.
I had a droid x2 and didn't really have any issues with the display and recently upgraded to the bionic.
The specific issue I've noticed is that after restarting my phone the display is fine (I don't notice the cross hatching) when I do notice it is after locking/unlocking my phone.
I'm not sure if its just my phone... Anyone know if there is a way to fix it or what might be happening behind the scenes following an unlock?
I've done several searches to no avail so, forgive me for just asking outright but, here goes:
Does Netflix (any version) work on any of the custom ROMs that are available for the Moto X at this time? Seems like there's always some issue with it for some reason or another, and so far each time I've tried to get it working it's always the same result on custom ROMs: half the screen is greyed out (usually the bottom half), the top 1/3 is out of place and shifted to one side more than the other, and there's a slice of what should be at the bottom through the middle of the screen...
It's the oddest thing I swear.
Anyway, there doesn't seem to be much about it here in the Moto X subforum, nor anyplace else for that matter so, I had to ask. I can live without it on a custom ROM, but since I'm paying for it each month (primarily the Wife using it a great portion of each day), it wouldn't hurt to use it myself sometime.
If anyone has any clues or info, I'm interested.
Guess I didn't notice till you mentioned it. I never watch on my phone though I use Chromecast all the time

Hello,
I on lollipop (soak test) build on my moto maxx. It was working great until one day there was no vibration. The vibrator wasn't working at all. The phone then was super laggy. Every action took a good 2-3 seconds to execute.
2 reboots failed to fix it. A final 3rd reboot fixed the issue. I have not faced the issue since.
I don't really know what the issue was about but it was annoying.
I just want to put this out there because there was not a single post about it.
Cheers !

Problem persists
After the official 5.0.2 update..things were looking good for a few days.
The vibration issue is back and it takes numerous restarts to get the vibrator to start working again.
There is nothing about this anywhere else. I've tried safe mode and it doesn't seem like a software issue.
A lot of Motorola users (Droid MAXX and few others) have been complaining about vibrator motors being faulty which just shows the quality of parts being used here.
Verizon has been replacing the motors or handsets if within warranty. However Motorola doesn't seem to acknowledge the issue.
Anyway this is my last Motorola device. I've picked up an S6 Edge and extremely happy with it.

never heard about this issue, try installing official firmware from rsd, to play safe.
Hi everyone,
I own a Moto G 2014, 2nd Generation, XT1068, black. I had the screen replaced in a specialized store, after I broke the original one. Although I can't say if the screen has always been like this since I had it changed or if it became like this in the meantime.
The problem is that in some more complex images, like photographs with a high amount of details, the phone has some pixels that blink, in some weird yellow greenish colours, as the images and the video show. It doesn't happen with materialistic designs, and simple colours. Only in those high details, and it is somehow annoying. I would like to know if you think it's because of a faulty screen, or a cable that is not connected, or if somehow this is some kind of software/driver/gpu problem. I have no clue of how these ones work.
I have CM13 installed, already wiped and re-flashed it, but I dunno if is the version or anything.
The touchscreen is also hard to swipe, it somehow sticks to my fingers. Bad quality? The responsiveness is also not very good, but I heard CM13 on this phone has some "touchscreen lag" problems.
To help you identify my problem, I leave you with some photos and video of the problem. Thank you for reading.

May it be the custom rom drivers?
Hi everyone, just got back to another Moto X series again(Rooted X2 ->stock G5 plus -> now X4 A1). Got really used to fingerprint sensor onenav and now with X4 A1 felt quite a step back. Which way would you guys recommend to get it on X4 A1?
Root -> add build prop or?
Root -> Moto stock firmware?
Moto is been keeping the firmware pretty light over the years that I have no problem sticking with Moto Apps(and I actually like them, get quite a few swag points from chopping for flashlight and twist for camera). And I'm not a heavy phone user(just communicate for work mainly, and some light facebook/chrome browsing on lunch break, and some google music via bluetooth while commuting). But OneNav would be pretty critical for my use(now I constantly typed everything wrong as the navbar is present)
Any suggestions which route I should go? Thanks!
Just READ another threads before posting.

thanks!
that'd be one of the two method I asked up there(root -> build.prop change with magisk). Just wonder if anyone went through similar thought and comment it's better with Moto stock firmware or build prop change
My guess is you should be fine with editing the build.prop, is far less work.
