yes , I have never installed CUSTOM ROM

same issue
I have this same issue on my d801. Upgraded to lollipop and even installed a mod 13 and no change. I have it back to stock kitkat now. It seems that the more color in the screen the worst it gets. Does anyone know what is causing this? the motherboard or digitizer

YouTube not working properly with 2.2?

I am using a replacement g2 that I got from tmo (originally bought a brand new g2 but it came with 2.3.3 so I asked them for an exchange and got this one with froyo). I have an issue with videos not playing properly on the youtube app and on m.youtube.com. When I open the vid, the sound works fine but the screen is just black. Sometimes, the video starts with a picture but doesn't go anywhere from there. If I try to skip to a certain time frame, sometimes it switches to a different picture and gets stuck again or just goes black.
Has anyone else had this issue? I never had this happen on my original g2 with gingerbread. Could it be a pre loaded app that's interfering with it?

try uninstall and re download YouTube from the market
I tried that already...
Should've never asked for that exchange :/
the battery life seems even worse on this one and I'm having problems that I never had with gingerbread.

Bummer dude. Ask for another exchange lol
Lol what should I tell them
Have you tried a factory reset? A lot of times that'll fix whatever weird kinks are in the phone.
Yup that fixed it hahah. thanks.
Sweet! Glad that worked

[VIDEO] S3 screen flickers with white pixels

I've only had the S3 for a few days and haven't even installed very many apps.
When I pull down the top menu or when I first open an app it flickers with white pixels.
I'm assuming this is a hardware issue with the phone?
What do you think?
--------
Well I was going to post a YouTube video of it, but I guess I can't because I don't have 10 posts.
Bummer dude.

Wow that's irritating issue - could be a hardware or software issue honestly but definitely not normal.

Yeah, it's extremely irritating.
I actually just did a factory reset and it's still doing it.
So I'm guessing a hardware issue with the screen, just my luck!
Any other opinions on this?

Factory reset only deletes user data it does not "reflash" the OS. Before you return it you may want to (if you're into it) try reflashing stock ROM via Odin. If after you've flashed stock rom you are still experiencing issues then you know it's definitely hardware.

Very strange mysterious BUG!!!

So i have found a very strange bug. After converting a youtube video to mp3 and playing it for a while, the track begins to sound very weird, it gets a cracking, disformed, and a very weird sound. But the weirdest part is, when i go back to Viral lite-app (where i got the URL-link from) and play the original clip it's also distorted!!!!!!!!!!!! I find this veryyy weird and have no logical explanation for it.
So all other tracks and songs are cristal clear but when i convert them to mp3 and play them for a while, they begin to sound like sh*t!!
Has anybody experienced the same?
If i understand your issue, i think that its an app related issue and should be asked/reported in the playstore not here.

NO! I don't think it's Viral lite related issue. Because when i play the video in the official Youtube app, its also distorted!
Thats why i said, i cant seem to find a logical explanation... could it be like a security thing from Youtube to stop people from downloading/converting videos? Or is it a BUG from lollipop?

mmm i would try to go back to cloudys kernel. Maybe there is some misconfiguration in dori's.
Did you change something on "Sounds" Tab in dorimanx app?
Yes i changed all the sound gains gains back to 0 when the problems started.. that didnt help... its just soooo weird

Is it possible to go back to lollipop?

I'm sick of my Moto X Style not running smoothly on stock android 6.0.1. Some custom roms fixed that but had other problems like calling echoes, slow camera launching, not being able to playback videos on facebook etc... Will i brick my phone if i try to roll back, or can i actually do it?
At worst you will softbrick it... I doubt it would hardbrick, but most of the threads where people have tried to downgrade have not gone well but they eventually get it working. Moto's don't like to be downgraded, the big problem is the partition table changes from Lollipop to Marshmallow and it won't go back. Although I don't know about this device specifically, but several older Moto's would brick if you downgraded then took an OTA later due to the mismatch of bootload and gpt partition table versions.
I would try to find solutions to your problems with MM rather than downgrade... I don't have any issues with any of the problems you are stating with echo, camera launch (mine is ready to take pictures in less than 2 seconds from either lock screen or icon), and Facebook works fine. Guess I am a little puzzled, but then again I am on 6.0.0 on the Pure.

It is possible if you have a TWRP backup of lollipop. I have done it before and it does work.

It's possible even without a backup too.

It is possible, but as mentioned by @acejavelin, it could cause issues later. The better option is to try and work out the current issues. Since the OP obviously has TWRP installed, my recommendation for stock ROM is to possibly look at apps that may be the culprits. Other options can include custom kernels.
Thank you so much everyone! But then, how do i do it? Is there anyone who has done it before and could help me? I don't have a lollipop backup on my TWRP btw..

On stock ROM everything works but lags, but for example on cm13 videos on facebook won't playback, switching to front facing camera takes maybe 10 seconds and the echo is there when speaking on the phone. What ROM are you using?

Stock, and I have no "lag" to speak of, but my point of references lately are the Moto G3, Nexus 4, and Lumia 640 LTE so by these standard the Pure is a Ferrari by comparison.

I'm using stock with no lag. I get the occasional stutter every now and then but that has been the case with every Android I have owned. Have you gone to developer options and changed the Windows animation scale and Transition animation scale to 0.5? This might help.

Haha i see! Well my comparison is with a Nexus 5x and an LG G2 and i hardly can't tell a difference between my moto and the LG G2 with a cyanogen based ROM. The Nexus is clearly the smoothest of all three.

Yes every android has some lag now and then but my Nexus 5X ran much smoother than the Moto X. It lags when i open the app drawer for instance which is the most simple task ever. It really pisses me off. I will try changing animation speed, thank you.

I flashed Android Lollipop many times but wifi doesn't work so I am not able to log in into Google account so I flash back marshmallow. I especially face serious lag when scrolling through YouTube in marshmallow.

Are you clean flashing? I've flashed several different roms and none of them have lagged for me the slightest bit.

Why does the Moto G4 Play screen keep flickering when I am doing normal activities or changing to a live wallpaper. Once it just flickered so hard that the entire screen went black for 12 seconds and then it was back. Usually flashes for 3 seconds. I did not root or do anything to my device can you please help me

I have it happen here and there. A flicker or two for me. Happened on my G3 also. I think it's a 6.0.x issue, and not a phone issue. It doesn't really bother me though.

Thank you very much for the clarification, the truth that there is not much information of the update, we have to wait
The only way to stop this flickering is to root. What are you doing in XDA without rooting the phone? Flash TWRP using a PC with minimal ADB and fastboot and Motorola Drivers installed.

My phone is rooted. I have TWRP. The screen flickers in normal activities.
Flash a custom ROM. My fav is ZephyrOS because it gave my phone great performance than the stock one. It stopped the flickering too.

Flashed CM 14.1 and the issue is solved! Thanks!
I've had my phone stock for ages, never once saw a flickering screen...
YMMV I suppose.
What do you mean by YMMV. Noob question, sorry.
I read somewhere that you can stop the flickering disabling the MotoDisplay.
I don't use it, and mine doesn't flicker.

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary

Hi Ashutosh, I'm experiencing the same issue. While building and modding SomefeaK Kernel y ended up realizing that it's most likely to be a hardware problem since I solved the graphics driver bugs with the SELinux policy modification I made by doing some research about the SuperSU binaries.
This way, EGL doesn't crash anymore but the screen keeps flickering.
Screen flickering is also present in the recovery which is what I believe a confirmation about this being a hardware bug.
We could try asking Motorola a replacement if we present a complaint to them, even with an unlocked bootloader. Why? In my case, the temperature caused by this hardware bug melt the volume keys painting (decolored them).
