Hey guys, i have the moto g for about 3 weeks now. i am pretty satisfied with it, battery life is great, altho for some reason it kinda shortened in 3 weeks, maybe its just my imagination. Anyway the phone is awesome but i've just noticed a small blueish spot on the display when the background is white. Its not very noticeable but only the thought of knowing its there makes me a lil sad. Anyone knows if it has any importance ? is it going to spread or something ? I have no idea when this happened, it might have been there since the beginning. Thx in advance !
I have two of them, except they're white and only show on black backgrounds. They're called stuck pixels. No they're not going to spread. You can try to play one of those stuck pixel fixer videos from YouTube on it for a couple hours and see if that fixes anything, or gently massage the pixel and see if that fixes it. You can also return it and get a replacement.

He didn't say it's a single pixel, but a "spot". It might be something more serious. A photo would be enough to understand, if you can get one.

The anandtech review mentioned they thought was unique to their samples - it looked like bubbles in the gorillaglass or similar. I wonder if this is that?

One unfortunate thing about the Moto G I was sampled however is the presence of two small bubbles in the cover glass. I initially thought these were dust, but inspection with a microscope reveals they are in fact inhomogeneities in the cover glass.

I had this exact problem with my Moto G. I sent it in for repairs on the 23rd and I talked to Motorola today and they said they are still evaluating it and couldn't confirm if this was covered by their warranty or not. Has anybody else had Motorola repair their G for this problem?
Sounds like it might be a stuck pixel, search on play store: Dead Pixel Detect and Fix (sorry can't post links) & if that doesn't work than its most likely a dead pixel...

It's not a stuck pixel. It is an issue with the screen under the glass in the way it was installed. It is a pretty common issue. Sometimes these spots will go away after use.

Released a hot fix since they said it was a software issue...
Seems now it's not
HD2 issue: http://www.gsmarena.com/a_hardware_fault_causes_htc_hd2_*pink*_camera_issues_confirmed-news-1276.php
Try turning off auto white balance.
No change.
lol i just noticed on engadget review, in the photos they took with the nexus one they have the same pink tint towards the middle
so everyone's nexus is having this issue?
So the N1 has pink eye?
I haven't received mine yet...we'll see here shortly...

The hot fix fixed my HD2, i took several photos of white walls and it had completely gone but it was VERY clear before the fix.
Mine does it as well
Someone tell Google and HTC, lol... No seriously..do it.
I just submitted a support ticket to google. I suggest you guys do the same. I linked this thread in the ticket.

Good man.. I'll do the same when I get my phone, lol...
it seems like a low light issue, not as noticeable with bright lighting.
Could just be the camera straining the ISO to a point where it makes the colors get weird. hopefully they can hot fix it

My HD2 did it in bright light, but the hotfix removed the issue.
I just noticed this after looking at the screentest app, but on gray background I can see some lighter "smudges" or light spots near the middle bottom of the screen. I was hoping it was a smudge on the actual screen since I still have the piece of plastic from factory on it, but I don't think that's what it is. Does anyone else have these lightish spots, and is it something I should expect? I don't see any other issues like stuck or dead pixels so I thought I was in the clear. I can't see it on every screen and I have to really look for it unless it's a gray background like in the picture below.
I tried to highlight what I'm talking about.

it's called pink smearing a lot of users has that and it's still not clear whether it's a sofware or hardware issue

All the smearing topics I've seen involved scrolling and seeing the gray bars leave a trail behind them, this is a persistent spot on the screen that is just lighter than the rest on certain backgrounds.
This thread says he got the screen replaced:

also som3 said they got it when going to settings anyway as far for replacement
you can even get the phone replaced
Not sure what the first part of your post means, but this looks like LCD mura. Verizon said I have 14 days to get another one if something is wrong, so as long as I can get a brand new one in exchange and test it out in the store I may try to return it. I paid full price for the phone and it's going to annoy me every time I see it now.

yes you should replace it i would be annoyed 2 if my phone has that i mean if i pay for a high end phone i expect it to be perfect or has a few issues that i don't care for and plus i hate pink
I hate pink too, but this doesn't have anything to do with that. Pink/purple smearing is an entirely different issue.
Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with the display on my G2. I spotted a grey spot on my display. It's not very big and can only be seen if your in a dark room and the display is black. Sounds really like a minor issue, but now that I know it's there, it just bugs me.
Any of you guys have an idea what this is, or having the same problem? (Just test it out)
I'm not sure if this is reason enough to get it replaced

You can't see it very well, because I just don't have a better way of taking a picture from it than my Nexus 7

I won't look on mine... because if it's something common I will have it for sure.. and I know myself it will bug me till the end ...
Anyway looks like glue residue or something in that matter, in case you do not have a screen protector.
If you can prove it to the store, get it replaced... This is a flagship device. Prestige one... Even minor appearance problems shouldn't be there.
Personally if I had it there and as you say, you can see it, get it replaced, and you never know if this i snot a beginning of something bigger? What if your screen falls off? (bit paranoid, but you know what to say in the store if they gonna give you hardtime )
Get it replaced! A $500 phone should not have that.

yeah, get it replaced if you want to. But i have a dead pixel on my G2, it bugged me for about a week, but ive forgotten its even there now haha
I've had my Note 4 for about a month now. I downloaded a game yesterday night, and played it the whole night. As soon as I closed the game I noticed the screen burn right away where the static white edges of the game was displayed, like shown in this image:

I've always known about amoled burn-in issue, but i've had no idea it happens this fast! It isn't very noticable, and only shows on white backgrounds, I have to look a little hard to see it but it's there.
is there anything I can do to fix this, or the burn settled there for good? Is this covered under samsung warranity?
Lol... sry
That comes from playing crap 80's games on modern hardware

I am a little surprised it happened this fast, but I guess it's not impossible.
I don't think there's any way to fix it and it will probably not be covered by warranty.
However, you could call Samsung and ask or just send it to a service centre and see what they say. Best of luck!
Well i know it seems strange, but it went away on its own. Like it was a temporary burn in or something.

It's called image retention. Very common especially with plasma TVs. It will go away when the screen displays other content for a period of time.
Sent from my Note 4
Note 4 has an invert colors option under settings> acessibility > vision
This may help with burn in or image retention but I'm not sure you would want to play a game that way.
LMAO, im addicted to minutequest to OP! i actually have been running a bot sort of thing that keeps my guy moving so iv had this game on my phone screen for hours the past couple of days. havent noticed anything yet, but am very scared of screen burn in.
Blam it on Ingress
Sorry for bumping this, but I, too, burned the "Ingress" scanner image onto my Note 4 after leaving the screen on for hours. It's very noticeable on blue and white screens.
I also have screen burn and be sure to change the display?
hi all, I noticed that the screen of my 6t is not uniform ... in a dark room with gray or similar colors in low brightness is lighter on the left while on the right is darker. You can check it with the OLED TEST application , if you put gray and lower the brightness.second you have to do it replace? I have read that the oled screens have this problem almost all and it would be lucky to find one without flaws.
Amoled screens are always a lottery unfortunately. You may get lucky and get a good one or you may get unlucky and get what you got. You can try and exchange but it's not guaranteed they accept it as a fault unless it's really bad. If you are in the return window you can go that then and then by a new one. You might get a better one and you might get one that is worse. I got lucky with mine this time.
In the image it looks a little brighter in the middle but I can't really see that with my eyes it's the camera that's doing that.
