My friend have just bought a Moto X 2014 At&t variant with Lollipop 5.1 installed in it. I noticed a weird thing. On its display, it has water mark of Motorola logo and and some other Text and Icons. A screen shot is also attached. I have searched over internet and unable to find the solution.
Any body know why is that so as another friend told me that it is a sample unit and its display (Panel) has these watermarkings.

Yes, that's probably screen burn-in. It's a very common problem for oleds. There's no solution, it's a problem with how these screens work.
If it's a new phone, I'd suggest he returned it.

I received my Moto X about 3 weeks ago, but noticed on white/light backgrounds, the screen appeared grainy. So last week I called Motorola to ask for an exchange, which they did. I received the new Moto X today, but it's suffering from the same grainy screen as my other one. Does anyone else have this issue with their X? My old Note 2 did not suffer from this, and they are both AMOLED screens.
Also interesting to note, the first Moto X was assembled in the US and the second one in China, so I assume the screens came from two different batches.

Yes, even I had this issue but after comparing with others I realised it's normal. They grainy are only visible if you really pay attention and scroll slowly. Eg. Gmail app.
I've learn to live it though.
Moto X 2014
I never thought to explain it as "grainy", but yes, I have it too. I almost RMAed it for that as it sometimes looked like lines going across the screen when scrolling. Actually, I did RMA it, but moto couldn't find it in there system for a week. I finally got the email, but haven't called them back yet.
same here... its more like texture, and you do see the lines when scrolling.
Is it worth trying to RMA it again until I get one with a good screen? I would certainly consider this a flaw, especially when spending $500 on a phone. I truly do enjoy the phone otherwise.

It's the pentile screen nothing wrong with it. I have the grainy screen too.
Grainy is normal. Horizontal or vertical lines are not - also tint issues are not normal. My screen is 50-60% yellow tinted and the remainder white, not normal - rma'ed it and awaiting my replacement.
Thanks for the help everyone. I am also noticing faint horizontal lines on both Moto X's on white/light backgrounds, but the replacement from China seems to have more than the original, and has a red tint to it. I'll be calling Motorola in the morning.

Bad qc on amoled. It's a gamble...
Yes. You can another thread that I created: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/static-lines-bands-screen-yes-please-t2935981
Currently I am just using the device since there's absolutely no guarantee the next one would be any better given that these issue are common. The QC is really bad.
Last friday i got my moto maxx. (international version of droid turbo)
Only today I realized that, when the phone is hot, some random red pixels appears on moto display, near the battery status.
when I receive any email and the pic of the person appears in the screen, again the red pixels show.
have anyone noticed this? Or maybe it's only on my phone.
to test your phone, record a 4k video for 2 or 3 minutes than lock your phone and open moto display or wait notifications appears.
sorry about my english.
Can you post any screen shots of this please? The phone does get warm but mainly while watching netflix or amazon video. It does also get warm while using the turbo charger.
And your english is fine.

Got the same thing, just at the lower center part. But it is only visible under certain circumstances. Not a big deal for me tough.
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

Go for a replacement. I have no grain at all.

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.
Thanks, H

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.
Hello Everyone
I own a Moto x4 Android One Super Black version, and recently google offered the Sterling Blue 64gbstorage, 4gbRAM and i bought it.
When i received the phone and turned it on, i noticed the screen had a yellow tone to it compared to my superblack that has a clean white and vibrant colors. I was wondering if someone has a moto x4 with this problem
