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,
I'm very new to the forums - if I am posting in the wrong place, asking an obvious question or doing something wrong - I'm very sorry! I have searched the forums high and low and don't seem to be able to find a solution to my problem.
I have a T-Mobile Vario III / Kaiser / Tytn II. I have recently discovered the world of changing the device's ROM, which I am very much enjoying. You can get the kind of device you want, not what they want to you to have.
I have, however run into a problem. I've noticed on graphics, particularly on photo's I have taken myself and when on the picture capture screen of the camera, pink pixels running through the picture or randomly scattered. Mainly they seem to follow some kind of line, although I'm not sure what they're following. Sometimes it looks like pink snow, settling on the pic.
I thought it may have been an issue with the ROM I had installed, so I gave it a try and changed it. No luck. I've also made a point of installing the recommended Radio's. Although I must confess I might be missing something.
I currently have installed "HTC NATF v4 HTC Manilla Loaded" ROM with the Radio '1.58.2.17 Neon'.
Some help would be greatly appreciated - although it's not affecting the phone's performance it's ruining my pics!
Thanks in advance.
Try removing the back cover of the phone and taking some more pictures. It's possible that there is an issue with the plastic lens cover on the battery cover.
If you still run into problems, then you may have a defective camera.
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply.
It's not just my pics it's doing it on. It seems to be all graphics - anything on the screen. For instance, I'm looking at the home screen at the moment, if I look hard at the edges of the 'Home' icon, it has tints of a salmony pink colour! I would say that the pixels are roughly this colour:
It's almost like I don't have the correct drivers installed - does it work like that with these devices?
Thanks again for taking the time to help me!

The flex cable connecting the touchscreen to the systemboard may be loose/failing. From what I've read, the cable isn't that expensive, and is not too difficult to replace.
My stock Touchpad has a weird color problem. Anytime there is some shading/gradient type effect, red/green/blue hues appear. Solid colors seem fine but when I try to watch something like a movie...every person looks like Obama's HOPE poster. Even the normal grey backgrounds of the UI/Cards look like they are running in some 8bit mode or something.
HP live chat previously ASSURED me it is not a hardware problem but rather a software problem. I have done all the updates/factory reset/etc. Nothing has improved. Has anyone seen this type of problem? Is there a 8bit color switch somewhere? Thanks for reading/any help!
I attached a tiny low res pic of the problem. The problem is pretty obvious
Does it work correctly in WebOS? That would tell us if it is a cm problem or a hardware problem. Boot over to WebOS and try watching a movie. I haven't heard of this being a cm problem.

It doesn't even have CM on it. I'm actually wondering if I flash android on it...it'll get fixed. Will give it a try when I have more time but might just try to call warranty on it. My warranty has passed 1 year but hopefully my credit card company should cover it. I'm thinking I should try that first before wasting time on flashing.
Such a weird problem that has stopped me from using/enjoying my TP
Its hard to even tell what the problem is in your picture. But is your screen discolored in that one spot or is the whole screen discolored? I've never heard of a software issue causing that. And if it was a software issue, running the webOS doctor should have fixed it. So if its still under warranty, i'd go that route first.

The issue is the entire screen. The picture is supposed to be mainly dark grey/grey/white. The blue/green tints pretty much appear wherever there is slight color gradients. Its quite obvious on non-solid colored UI and skin. It looks like basically watching a person while on acid.
Anyone know if its possible to have a faulty GPU or something on it and still boot up? The TP does feel sluggish in other aspects as well...open up just a few cards and it becomes pretty damn sluggish. Doesn't even have to be a web browser card...something simple like calculator can sometimes cause problems...

If its your whole screen, it could be that your screen is messed up. If you have the warranty still, I'd see if you can get it replaced.
Hi guys
Have a problem with my Xperia Z, screen seems to start flickering (3lines, from top to the bottom of the screen) You can only see this while playing games. I've already had a screen replaced due to the same fault. With my previous screen it started exactly the same. First I noticed playing the game. Gradually became worse and worse (in the space of two weeks). In the end I couldn't play or browse because I was not able to see anything due to the fact the whole display flickered. Looks like its going to be the same. Hope someone can help me with that. Appreciate for any help.
Regards Luke

I think u have a poor quality screen replacement... Mostly low quality screen have the problem of Flickr or lines goes up and down...
I am a new owner of an Lg G watch Urbane 1st edition. I have researched about screen burn in before I bought the watch and decided that it wouldn't be that horrible because of the built in burn in protection. However I am still not convinced because of claims that if a certain watch face uses to wide object the screen moving around won't move that object enough for the pixel to turn off and rest. Any of you have a good general rule of thumb what to look out for when downloading watch faces? There are some cool ones out there but could I for example use ones that have colour in them even in dimmed mode? Or should I use ones that don't? What watch faces do you use that isn't too simple but hasn't caused burn in for you?
I own the same watch and I've never had any burn in issues. I use the always on option all day and faces with big numbers and never noticed that effect (okay maybe once, but maybe it was just that one face). So as far as I'm concerned you don't need to worry about that when hunting for new faces. I use all kinds of both simple high contrast faces and very busy image based too. I'm happy that they look great and don't give me any issues. Now, have you experienced burn in or were you just curious about it?
I just got my watch yesterday and already see faint burn it... I know that is common with OLED screens.. but I want to be sure I do not do permanent damage.. I would be interested to hear what you all do to help prevent it ?
I see a setting in Developer Mode that (PREVENT BURN IN) but when I enable it.. it says "will be effective after reboot" but when I reboot it turns off... ?
I have also purchased a pre-owned LG watch urbane from ebay. It just arrived to me yesterday and I have noticed the burn in issue which has some text saying "Android wear has stopped working". This is visible when screen is bright but not visible in ambient mode and darker themes.
well luckily my faint burn in has gone away.. the biggest help was turing off Always On Display... i'm not sure if this would have been a perminent issue since i'm sure LG had this in mind when they setup the OLED display.. but I know it bugs me to see shadow images on the screen... plus I do like the lengthened battery life having it off.. 50% at the end of the day is great
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!
