Missing Pixels Moving all over the Screen! - Moto X Q&A

Hello!
The display of my moto X ghost is messed up! It has kind of missing pixels dancing all over the screen. This problem doesn't occur when the phone starts up or I'm in recovery. It only occurs while I'm in the system UI. To be sure that it's a software issue, i took screen shots of screen and seen those on another phone. Those missing pictures were captured in the screen shot which means that it has ran into a software issue. I tried flashing a custom ROM CM 12.1 Nightly which made absolutely no difference.
Anything of help would be appreciated. Thank you!

[Q] What's up with my screen?

I have a N1 running CM7 nightlies. Lately I've been noticing odd little lines appearing on the screen, most often around the outer edge of images. At first I thought it was just an effect a website had on their logo, then I started seeing it other places. Market logos, other images online on different sites. I attached a screen shot, you can clearly see lines appearing around the edges of the phone in the article I was reading. What is this? Anybody else experience this? Thanks.
It's been a bug in the last few nightlies. I had it on my Boot Animation although changing to another animation and flashing Nightly #21 seems to have solved the issue for me.
That's good to know, thanks! I was afraid it was it was a screen defect of some sort. I'll flash #21. Thanks again!

[Q] Strange discoloration on my screen

Dear note users,
Recently I encountered the second discoloration of colors on my screen, for example the center of the chrome icon and everything blue turns purple, this problem occurs in the entire os. I have also made a screenshot and after the phone magically restored the colors; it turned the screen off, because I wasn't using the phone and when I turned it back on the colors on the screen were back to normal; and the colors on the screenshot were also normal. So apparently the os sees the colors properly....
So what do you think is this a hardware failure (I am thinking it is), also if it is, does it fall under guarantee? And finally my screen is ok, for most of the time, but sometimes this error does occur. How can I possibly tell the guys of the Samsung service center something is wrong with the screen? I did take a phone with my point to shoot, but they could say it's photoshop or something and the photo is a bit blurry. Since I cannot force the phone into this situation I can't also make new photos....
I am using alliancerom v3 and speedmod k3, I also don't think the error was due to the rom and kernel, because both weren't developed when the previous discoloration occured....

Try changing ROMs, full wiping etc...
R: [Q] Strange discoloration on my screen
I also had this issue, two times to be exact... I was worried that gpu was going to break. Do you have the gpu's voltages decreased?
Ps: I'm not saying it's a gpu problem (it's a simple thought) , so don't worry
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Same issue
I got the same problem too. i thought im the only one...I agree with hom.hom.. it the hardware problem, FYI warfareonly, i tried to change ROM, full wipe and everything...the problem still occurred..as what hom.hom said it hardware issue..
some picture taken from webcam..
Yeah, with me it looks just the same; I suppose the problem is that you can't reproduce this issue. So the Samsung repair center probably won't repair your phone. After your phone went to sleep or you reboot the issue disappeared for me. Is this the same case for you, and have you checked at a repair center of they fix this issue for you?

[Q] Phone seems to forget it's a amoled... Screen is extremely washed out

Seems like my phone has forgotten it's amoled. It lights up the entire screen even if it's just black. The screen is overly bright and looks washed out and I can see tons of imperfections on it that seem to move with whats on the screen. This leads me to believe it's software, (happened a few days after a cm12.1 install) .
I've tried flashing stock images and it still persists. Anyone experience something like this? Not sure the best solution.
lower your brightness? what brightness do you keep it at?
Regardless of whether brightness is 100% or 0% the screen is overly washed out. It's as though the backlight is being turned on even if there are dark pixels on the screen. Everything is just way brighter and hard to read. Not sure if it's a hardware problem or software problem. Any way for me to determine this? Only thought would be a nandroid backup from my phone being restored on another to see if it recreates the problem but i don't have access to a second nexus 6.

Can` t you go to store where they sell the Nexus 6 to compare? I reccon you`re on stock and don`t use a custom kernel for color control, my screen is beautiful imo. But also its possible that maybe you have a faulty device, it can happen ....
My screen was great. It's a recent issue that came up. It has happened in the last few days.

Screen flickering after new firmware (apg2)

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I clean flashed the new firmware (apg2 XAR) for tab s2 (2016).
After an hour of use the screen started to flicker, shifting colors everywhere on the screen.
After a reboot the flicker was gone but not sure if that was a "fix". If it happens again I will try to capture the screen.
Nonetheless I wanted to ask if anyone had something similar. Can that be a hardware issue? Or a software one? Maybe a graphic driver problem?
Thanks for any input.

Well if a reboot fixed it then you're good to go.

Faulty screen Moto G 2nd Generation

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?
