I see it in every ROM thread but i have no clue how does it looks like and what it is suppose to be

It is beyond our mental capacity to truly understand what it is. It is the FUTURE.
This is more info then you're asking for, but CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube. Any TV or Monitor that's not a flat screen (which is making me feel really old all of a sudden) used vacuum tubes and scanlines instead of individual pixels, and these tubes needed to be warmed up before they could turn on. That's why on older TVs you'd often turn them on, hear the sound, and then the picture would slowly fade in from black. When you turn them off, then, the picture kind of zaps out of existence, because it's an analog signal, instead of any LED or LCD screen, where all of the pixels are shut off instantaneously. The CRT animation mimicks that effect when you turn the display off on the phone.
Unrelated sidenote: How fun was degaussing CRT computer monitors? I remember I would wait weeks at a time to get a whole lot of magnetic buildup, and then when I finally hit the button and the picture shuddered back to life, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

I have the official Nexus One dock and it randomly disconnects from the phone while it's still docked. BT disconnects and it stops charging. It seems to happen more often when the phone gets hotter.
I have a feeling it's software related because it usually re-connects as soon as I change the orientation or un-dock re-dock really quick.
The only other thing that I can think of is that maybe it needs a better ground since I hardwired it into my car's power wiring.
Anyone else experience this?
Ive been meaning to make a thread similar to this but i guess its more appropriate not to waist threads...
The touch sensitivity dies when the screen is on for prolonged periods of time. for example when its in the gps dock, i will sometimes try to interact with the app and it wont register any touches at all or will get them completely off. but right when i turn off the screen then turn it back on again (even if its quickly) it'll go back to normal. Why? is it because of the heat being created? the phone does get hot when i use the gps for a long time.
I blame poor connections. Every now and again i have to wiggle the base of the dock where the contact pins are to seat the contacts
The screen is supposed to auto recalibrate, it doesn't seem to do a very good job of it. My phone is hopeless on winter mornings, about 30 seconds after turning it on in the morning I have to turn the display off and on again to force it to recalibrate or the bottom 1/3 of the screen stops working.
The issue is much less pronounced with the CM firmware than it is with the stock firmware though.
My fix for the Nexus dock
I also had this problem when I was using the phone in the horizontal position but when I turned it to vertical it started working again... not an ideal fix but it worked for me... also I found a small crack in the dock that makes the tab at the top stiff, it eventually broke through and I used a piece of shrink tubing to repair it back to help it push down on the prongs at the bottom.
On the other topic this screen sensitivity problem should be marked critical since I can't answer my phone without turning the screen off and back on again, I can't even count the amount of times I hung up on someone while fumbling to answer the phone.

The CurveFish OnOff widgets were the first widgets I downloaded when I got my new Motorola DROID. I needed to have complete control over my connections to save on battery life, and found a few little fun widgets along the way. And to have found a publisher that has released multiple widgets of the same theme excites the OCD inside me.

Which of the widgets fixes the dock calibration issues?
Hey has anyone found a good screensaver app for when the tablet is plugged in via hdmi to prevent damage to the screen.
I keep going to settings->about->4.1->bean flicker to get that screensaver app but irs a bit of a pain in the a** to do every time!!
P.s ideally one that activates on its own after a set time and when docked

You shouldn't need a screensaver as these are LCD displays, not the the old CRT displays....
The old TV's had screen burn because the picture tube was coated in phoshorus and had electrons shot at it (bit more complicated but this is what happened essentially). If the electrons were fired at the same spot the phosphorus would get burnt away creating screen burn. Not possible with LCD.... Completely different way of doing things...
On PC's screensavers have been out since the old CRT monitors and have been left in as people like them, what a waste of battery power on a tablet though...
No need for a screensaver indeed. I personally like to use app called Screen Standby - see details HERE. Or from Google Play
"Switch off the screen temporarily without actually putting the phone into 'sleep mode'. The phone is still running! It saves your battery, avoids heating to prolong battery life" Borrowed from Google Play
I have used this app many times. Works very nicely when connected to TV via HDMI. Needs root.
if you still want a screensaver however: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.ultimateDayDream
So I use skype on my desktop to video chat with my girlfriend who is a few states away, we do this every night. I used my surface instead of my desktop sometimes but I stopped, I got paranoid that it's damaging the screen somehow even though the video is usually all black. So my question is, is it really doing any damage by having it on all night (brightness at lowest)?
Having a display on for a longer period of time will indeed cause image retention. This can be temporary or permanent depending on: how long, temperature of the device, content of the screen...
In any case: no, it's not good to leave it on for the entire night.
Not only can it cause permanent damage, the brightness of your screen will also wear off faster.
AMOLED screens are less affected but even there it can happen over time.
If you really want to do this and you don't care about the lifetime of your tablet, make sure the screen is entirely black. Full screen video without any buttons, interface lines, icons... (it's those things that will be visible after burn-in on the screen)
Recently my screen has started developing strange shadows of apps that i use for longer time, like browsers, keyboard etc.
Even youtube after using for more than an hour or so give shadows on screen.
The issue is more persistent with the keyboard, as i am a heavy internet user (7-8 hrs online) and most of the time keyboard stays on the screen, the screen is showing me a persistent shadow of keyboard, initially just after using it for more than an hour the shadow is very clear and it stays even in the brightest apps and screens , later after sometime it starts to fade but never really goes away, its there always faintly.
What should I do?
Attached screenshots but i don't know if you guys can see them or not.
Edit : its on the screen (hardware)as screenshots don't have shadows, don't know if my screen is faulty
Screenshots are no good, take a picture of the physical phone screen instead.
Screen Burn-in Tool could help, it's designed for AMOLED, but it might end up having the same effect, and there should be no risk (except maybe some wasted time ).

Thanks but i think its better to get the screen replaced because the burn-in tool is a temporary solution, it again comes up after few hours and usually goes away in the morning as i don't use phone at night..
Also screen flickering is visible on very close inspection of some dark screens and checkered wallpapers
Hi,
Is there any script or anything what could change the way the peek display behaves on Moto phones (g42)?
What irritates me about this feature is accidental and random screen wake ups - as peek display is move/shake/pick up dependant,it simply turns on too often....it's to sensitive. Every time I hit the table, or my phone is in a car and there're potholes on the road, the screen lights up. Irritating and disturbing.
In the current form Peek Display is useless and I don't know why Motorola persistingly implements this feature without the ability of configuration.
Would be nice i.e. if the screen turns on each time a notification comes, stays on for some time, shuts off, and then lights up again to remind after some time.
I tried many apps like AOD or NotifyBudyy, but all of these apps have same problem - the use a lot of power, around 5-8% per hour...
Is there any walkaround?
thanks
