GPU / Display Crash on Wake Up

Got my N4 at the T-Mobile store on Newbury St. in Boston today, has been great so far, noticed an issue though. Was using it moderately for the better part of the day without any problems. Tonight upon taking it out of my pocket and waking it up, the display immediately went solid white, followed by a wave of discolored pixels moving from left to right across the screen. It then rebooted itself and the issue has not reoccurred since. I've seen the exact same thing happen with an LCD before on an Intel laptop while fudging around to get the graphics drivers for an Ubuntu install up and running. Guessing this is only a driver issue based on that experience. Not about to sound the knee jerk panicked OCD RMA freakout air raid party siren at this point as it's been a really solid device other than that, but worth reporting nonetheless.

If it happens again, I would contact T-Mobile about it.

Meh.
It is the first batch so minor issues like that and the screen looking weird due to glue drying will occur.

I don't know. The glue in the side bars hadn't binded properly for some devices and leaked into the LCD, causing a slight yellow tint. Won't happen with the 2nd Batch onwards, though.

I'd try to run a graphic heavy game to see if the gpu is failing.
If it does again, return it.

Bought mine from a T-Mobile store in Dearborn Michigan yesterday morning and mine has been working perfectly. I have not had any yellow tint issues or rattles etc. I am very happy with the device, sold my GNEX and hour after I bought the N4 and not looking back. I did get the T-Mobile insurance on the device, I feel it's a good thing to do since it is a new product release.

Well he did not really describe anything that sounds the the glue issues...this sounds more like an overheating GPU.

Could also be a glitch in the driver. Have had plenty of similar occasions with my Xperia Neo when trying out buggy ROMs.

Definitely has nothing to do with glue drying. I'll push the GPU a little bit today. But when this issue occurred, remember, the phone had been idle my pocket. Seems like its more a matter of waking the phone up than a matter of the GPU being under any duress.

I wonder how much the screen will cost to replace if it breaks... The Gnex is 150+ for a screen/digitizer.

I bought the insurance as well. Do you know if I were to "lose" the phone and claim it through insurance and pay the deductible to replace it with another one would the old N4 be useless? Do they burn their phones like Verizon does using the IMEI?

As a last resort perhaps clean slate by reflashing the image. Question is if Tmobile makes their modified image available. Or, if you don't care about Tmobile customizations just flash the official Nexus 4 image.

It's a Nexus - I'm quite certain the only modification T-Mobile made is a $50.00 restocking fee sticker on the box. :angel:

Just a followup on this, I haven't seen the white screen/wave of fading pixels issue since the first time. However, I found one dead pixel (black) a couple days ago, and today I found a brand new second dead pixel about an inch away from the first one. I have the feeling this display is simply defective. I bought it from T-Mobile. They don't have any left in stock to exchange for right now. Looks like it's gonna be a while to get this one swapped out.

Nexus 5 power button rattle fix....

Right, I may or may not be alone in this but the rattle from my power button was really starting to p**s me off. I could hear it clearly when the phone was at arms length and I tapped the screen anywhere in the top half. I thought it was the camera at first, then found holding the power button still whilst using the phone stopped it. This morning I was using my phone and decided to do something about it.
First can I say this was not any normal rattle (i.e camera lens), you could clearly hear it at arms length whilst tapping the screen in the top half. I made this video because people have told me they have the same issue. If you take your phone apart and break it, that's not my fault.
For those that have this problem and decide to do this, I hope it helps It has made me a hell of a lot happier with the phone.

Ah, forgot to mentiom, this is my 2nd one. Bought my first one and heard the rattle, took it back after 2 hours. The replacement does the same thing and looking on here in the defects thread it seems a few people have the problem. There's no sort of warranty seal inside the phone and the stuff can easily be taken out again should it die for some reason and I need to get a new one under warranty.

nice? possible to change into a higher mah battery?

Some people analyse small insignificant things too much, surely it couldn't have made an audible noise level outside of a sound proof box.
Did the sales person look at you bemused or did he test the rattle and end up deafened by it?

He agreed that he could hear the rattle. It may not have seemed that important to him in a loud and busy shop, but when you're sat on your sofa in the evening and even the slightest of taps near the top of the screen make it rattle it doesn't take long before it becomes very annoying. If it were just when I shook the phone near my ear or something then I would have just accepted it, but it's the fact it is hard to ignore,even at arms length, made me want to do something about it.

Fair enough I guess.

I did the very same with my Nexus 4. Using tiny bits of tissue. Dunno why everyone is crying about it, its a very simple fix!

Thanks mate
I'm getting my N5 tomorrow, and living in a country not supported by Google Play Devices, it's nice to know that I can fix stuff like that myself

Stick it in a case, that should do it.

I have a case for it that I got off ebay, a clear tpu gel one. It muffles the sound but it is still there, plus I really like the feel of the phone and in the case you lose that.

Note 8 shutdown when is moisture detect

Hey everyone i need help my Note 8 shutdown when detect moisture or when is little wet exampel i have wet hands and Note detect it and shutdown my phone than restart it and than show popup message about moisture detection....but after that i leave phone for 10 minutes to moisture gone than phone again shutdown and restart but now without popup message...is there any fix or soulution
btw this start happening after i update to Oreo on Nougat i not have that problems

If it were me, I'd grab any silica gel packets lying around, and seal your phone in a container that is airtight for at least a few hours, overnight to be safe. This will remove excess moisture. If you still get the error after that, I'd be calling Samsung. These devices have an IP68 rating for water resistance, and it shouldn't even come up.

I'm not so sure anymore cause if you view the other thread, a number of people are having this issue after updating to Oreo. I never encountered this issue on Oreo though.

Just do a warranty claim, I got exactly the same problem for almost 2 months. At that time I got mad about the whole situation and finally called Samsung, they gave me a ticket number to send my phone back to them and they repaired under warranty.
Since then the phone doesn't do that any more. That has something to do with the mother board because the resolution of the repairs was to replace the mother board.

I imagine that was a complete waste of time and your new one will likely do the same. This is not a hardware issue.
I flashed mine back to Nougat and hey presto, absolutely fine again. Put Oreo back on, issues again.
This is a software issue, not hardware!

Wouldn't we all have that issue if it was an Oreo bug? Maybe the moisture detection wasn't working properly under Nougat and then was fixed under Oreo. Just a thought, but it's plausible. Based on available info there's no certainty it's software only, at least as of yet.

Well either that or Samsung have another big hardware problem on their hands as this has been reported all over the US and UK Samsung forums, XDA, Overclockers.co.uk Note 8 thread and numerous other mobile sites.....
I find it hard to believe it's hardware on mine though. As I said, flashing Nougat back on the phone and putting water over the charger I get a water drop, moisture detected, phone works as normal and won't charge until the port is dry, then the water drop goes, as it should behave, both hardware and software side of this is working.
On Oreo, water drop detected, phone locks up, phone reboots instantly.
Doesn't look like hardware in my case.

Two things.
1) Correlation does not equal causation; your issue could have been present prior to the update, and the update actually fixed moisture detection in some way as someone mentioned earlier.
2) Regardless, these phones have a rating that is supposed to circumvent that anyway. I would settle for nothing less than a replacement under warranty; these phones were almost $1k new. That kind of money needs to be accompanied by steadfast customer service.

Shoot, the first time that happens to my I'd be getting warranty claim asap. IP68, that crap should not happen.

Again? I did that a few times already when I first bought my N8 and S8 Plus to show it off to some folks. It was pretty fun. Sucks that SOME folks are experiencing this but I haven't gotten a sense that this is a widespread issue. Same as the issue of some folks experiencing a crazy amount of micro scratches on their displays when there's just as many other N8 users scratching their heads wondering why they don't have these same micro scratches.
Oh well. I guess it's just life. Some experience stuff like this and others don't. *shrugs*

Does not need drop for this to happen. Production issues happened, always, albeit at low percentage (3-5% maybe). I'm not sure if warranty covers this, though.

Then what warranty do covers? If not production issues? Warranty won't cover if he would have dropped the phone and this is clear manufacturer fault.

Yes, i know this!
Even pacemakers are not 100% sure and reliable so there is nothing strange there but I'm looking at this from more human side and to give this man some consolation so to speak, that's all.
But of course you are also right here and to be totally honest those displays with production issues in 3-5% are pretty low if this is to be the case though.

I have heard of such things but your phone must be relatively new for this to happen unprovoked? If you had it for some months and the touchscreen failed only now something happened to it I think, if you didn't drop it then maybe some exposure to extreme temperatures did it. I hope it is new so you can try to return it or at least have it fixed under warranty.

Is this extreme enough?

Thanks all of you, if its a manufactures fault then of course it will be covered by warranty... Point is, it will still leave me phone less for the time its being corrected.
But, the fault has...... progressed. It has now got slightly better, or the non responsive area has seemed to move. The area which was unresponsive yesterday is now ok, but there are other areas which are responding randomly.
I do live in the tropics, could be overheating, but i'm sure that is physical and that it will continue to come and go until i get it repaired....

Right side for me. Still, just because it's faded doesn't mean it's over. I wanted to unlock the bootloader, but I can't go voiding the warrantee when I may end up needing it.
I'll probably return it and wait for the US release of the G 5G equivalent.
If all it needed was a break-in, that should've been done at the factory.

I am in the same situation. I see the green tint, but it isn't as bad as when I first turned it on.

I posted a new thread over in the Q&A with a poll about it. The moto support forums are starting to buzz with folks complaining, and the best buy reviews are starting to roll in with photos. Moto may have a slightly big problem on their hand.

Mine did the same after just 1 week, i send it to the service and they said they ordered the hardware for replacement, couldnt return the phone and get my money back

UK model (single sim) MOTP-EDGBLK - same issue.
Only apparent when the brightness is below 50%.

I received #4 replacement
This time I noticed some changes in hardware
The screen looks OK for 18 days
Nothing funny so far

I returned mine back to Amazon and bought another - after 3 days, same issue.
Gave up, got a refund and bought a Pixel 5.
Such a shame, I really liked the Moto Edge design, size and battery life. Unfortunately it seems that Motorola can't make phones, had a screen related issue on my Moto X Force a few years back too, seems like Motorola have not improved at all.

I assume it's difficult to have good yields due to the waterfall design. There could be a relatively high failure for this type of design.
It's funny how my 2nd Edge is exhibiting the same green tint. I was so sure I could put this behind me.

The waterfall design isn't new though. Other OEMs have made similar style displays (Samsung, OPPO etc) and none then have such a high failure rate like this.

Whatever the source is, Moto is clearly struggling to obtain good panels. Reviews say the screen is great but they fail so easily. It's beyond strange.

It's still too early to say trouble free, but compare it with the one on first post

I changed the theme to white in all apps, it's weird because the only color that appears green is grey

Green tint seems to come before purple streaks and double images, no? Look at reviews on best buy, green tint is the least of your worries.
Also you could use swift installer to make certain apps black. I only noticed the green tint cause I happened to have another phone next to the edge.

3 days in from bestbuy retail stock, box has a 20 october 2020 date on it. No screen issues. Of course, when I have the light theme enabled there are often situations where I can see a slight greenish/grey hue to the edge as it begins to curve. That's just optics and not at all as some of the pics I have seen. Sweet ride so far.

As of December 8th, no more purple blotches, which has shadows of the notification bar, and cutout. Hasn't happened in about 2 weeks. I did notice, with the latest build(October), that the battery drains a touch faster. Still don't know if it's curing of screen materials, or update.

Screen is still perfect after full 8 weeks
