So I've had my Moto g for a few months and I love it. My wife's phone just died, so I got her one of these lovely machines as a replacement. We were setting it up and the latest Android update popped up. I have the new update myself so I whent ahead and upgraded. Now Chrome, some of the notification windows and many other text areas have this grid of black specks over them. Just wondering if there is a way to fix it, or if I should return it for a replacement.
Screenshots attached.

I've been using my triumph since September, and I'm loving it a lot. However I found that there are some dust under my screen and I'm currently using the RF case since the first day I have my phone (I didn't toke off the first layer that it came with but I could see that it is deep enough under the screen). Is it just me or any other else having the same problem I have? And does anyone knows how to clean it up?
I have the same issue on the top right corner of the screen. The camera/flash is also filled with quite a bit of dust.
Not too much we can do besides call up VM and try to convince them it's a manufacturing flaw and send us a replacement.
My flash light are full of white stuff.. May be I'll keep it till I can't stay with the dust. Beside I have the 1 or 2 year warranty from bestbuy, will they do it as well?
I recently got shipped a refurb because me original phone broke (wouldn't turn on). The refurb had dust underneath the screen, so I called VM to ask if there was an easy way to remove the dust without opening the phone up. They told me that they would just replace the phone for me and within 2 days I found in my mailbox a brand new Triumph, completely unopened in box.
Personally, I think this is incredible because my original phone was a used one I picked up off craigslist. Must say, I have been really impressed with their customer service so far
Thanks! Quick question, I'm currently running TG CM7 on my MT, do I have to flash it back to stock rom before I ask for a replace? And will BestBuy do a replace?
Flash the stock rom & put the stock recovery back on it. Those things should be on this site, if not android forums had what you need for sure.
So I just received my Tab 7.0 Plus from Amazon and it has one small dead pixel. Super small but its there. Should I return it? Its on the right bottom corner and of course only noticeable in dark colors. I'm tempted to exchange it just for that little pixel.
I would return it but ask if they have a policy on it. Some companies put a definitive number of "acceptable" dead pixels (depending on screen size) before it warrants an exchange.
The only standard I know of for sure is Apple because their "acceptable" number is zero(0), as in there should not be a single dead pixel regardless. Amazon probably would accept it though, worth a shot.

have you tried those apps that try to help fix stuck pixels? on my nexus one i thought i had a couple dead pixels but apparently were only stuck pixels. some app i used did some flashing of different colors and the stuck pixels never showed up again.
One thing I like about Amazon's exchange policy is that they'll immediately send you another tablet while you keep the other. Once you receive the new one, all you have to do is send back the defective one. They don't seem to ask questions about it. I totally bricked my tablet when I rooted it and they took it back.
cool.. Suck that Amazon won't have it on stock for 3-5 weeks per their site. I asked wifey and she said it doesnt bothered her and wouldnt even noticed it if I didn't say anything. It was for her so she'll keep it. But If i noticed amazon brings it back in stock soon, I might just exchange.
Dead Pixels are not a good thing
This ISN'T my Transformer Prime
My story with dead pixel shortly.
I bought my GT6200, same night the battery got empty and the tablet start shutting down and at black screen I saw a dead pixel. Next day I was in the market and all I sed was: "There is dead pixel". No one even wanted to see it. The guy sad: "Ooo, it`s normal for Samsung" and gave me another one brand new. I was like this because this behaviour and returning policy is not normal in my country.
Hello everyone! I've just received my brand new Sony Xperia M2 from PCcomponentes.com, it's the black D2303 version, and everything works like a charm except there are some stuck pixels. They're in the Navigation Bar, near the back button, at the left of it. One is red and the another seems to be green. I've tried some methods to recover them like using some videos on YT that blink very fast, but they're still there. When the nav bar is translucent on the launcher it's difficult to find them, but when opening an app, and when the nav bar goes totally black, they're easily visible... The store where I bought it told me that 2 pixels it's not enough to claim for warranty, and as I received it yesterday I've 13 days left to return it to the store, BUT THEY WON'T CHANGE MY PHONE, they said they were going to check that everything works (BUT THE SCREEN IS FAULTY!), and then they would send money back if everything is OK, and , if I want, buy another one later. As what they told me, this is like returning something that it's fully working, but you don't want to have anymore for some reason, for example, you didn't like it, so it looks like that when they check that the box is open, and that the phone doesn't have any screen protector or back protector, they would not send me any money and they would send back the phone as it is, without being repaired or replacing with a new one...
So, as I'm not going to send it back, is there anyway to fix that by myself? Another screen blink video or software, or another recommendation??
Cheers!
P.S: The manuals were in greek, so it looks like the phone was bought there, maybe thats the reason why they don't want to change it...

Nice to now I'm not the unique one having this awful problem. Where are yours?
Hello all.
Any help would be appreciated
I've had my nexus for a while and ended up cracking the glass on the screen.
While the digitizer was still working, i planned on fixing it whenever I had the chance to.
As few weeks later, I took a nice chunck out of the screen (Which still left the half of the screen working)
I knew a complete screen replacement would cost around ~$120 at the time I bought one.
My mentality is that buying a complete screen w/ frame of ebay would be cheaper then sending it back to Google and/or LG.
Which I should've done.
But anyways, my arrogance drove me to buy this.
Delivery was swift, and suddenly got to work as soon as I came home.
Disassembled my nexus (Surprisingly easy) and attach my new screen.
When I powered up my phone, i was greeted with this .
This kind of upset me, but the fact that everything was working compared to how the screen was previously blinded me from troubleshooting the issue.
What got me, if you zoom into the top right of the screen, is there is an natural curve/crack inside the lcd which leads me to believe that my new screen wasn't 100% working.
This bar was constantly there. Not of the most annoyance, but still was there.
Fast forward a few days, then all hell breaks loose. Previously with my old screen, I had red bars/line run vertically on the screen, almost blinding the actual content.
Then this started happening with the new one. At this point, the coincidence led me to believe that the circuitry in the on-board was damaged as well.. OR the new screen has the same exact issue. Which i believed to be less likely.
I closely inspected my on-board through-out my phone, and noticed no damage. (At least at visible level)
As days went on, the effect got worse. Whenever I'd lock my phone, and turn it back on, the streaks were gone.
Then slowly faded back after a few seconds of having the lcd on.
I've already spent $110 on a new screen, which didn't end up working.
I've probably voided my warranty by having done it myself (Regret it completely)
Ebay seller requires returns to be shipped back in the state it was, which im sure i've thrown out the box that contained some stickers etc. that were initially on the new screen.
What should I do? My phone contract is up in two months. Should I get another nexus 5 with the 6 being already out?
Should I send this to LG/Google ? (i bought it through the play store)
Should I give up on this 90% functional phone?
Should I send back the dysfunctional screen? (But it also could be the on-board causing issues)

Thank you for your time
I'm looking to buy a 1+ tomorrow as on Tuesdays they have open invites. I sold my g2 to put towards this but have a few short questions. I know there are threads and links on xda and Google but I see a 50/50 across the board. So far I read the 1+ is a great phone..fast, good software, good build ect. My question is on the yellow banding and touch issues. Since I'll be ordering tomorrow it has been a long time since these issues have been happening. Just curious if anyone that has received one lately had any problems even past the yellow and touch. I apologize and know there are threads on this but nothing that seems recent that talks about these issues. Thanks.
I bought mine in september and i have none problems!Not touch problem nor the yellow band!Anyway i dont think there are any problem with one+
No problems here. Had mine for 2 weeks. It's a good phone. No better or worse than my M8
Awesome. Just looking to make sure the 1+ is the right move. Can't wait to join the 1+ band wagon!!
The yellow band still exists, and I've gone through three OPO already (over a period of a year now, for me, my wife and brother).
The issue did get better though, it's not as noticeable anymore and most people wouldn't even see it if they didn't have a properly configured comparison screen next to their screen.
Overall it's still the best price value deal you can snatch so you can order without having any regrets.
I did buy one in Feb and I got the yellow band, nothing fixed it like keeping it in UV light etc. But surprisingly my previous one which I bought in late august did not have the yellow band. Also I did notice the yellowing is also present in the screenshots you take on the phone so I am assuming it is rather a software/driver bug than a hardware screen issue. If it was purely a hardware it wont be visible on a screenshot like if you had a cracked screen and you took a screen shot cracks don't show up in the screenshot. I was so bothered with the yellow band ended up selling it in a week on craigslist. The new buyer did not check it so all went well.
Another point wanted to mention Opo support was hard to deal with. Even though I opened a ticket and attached the files they gave some bull**** about changing the settings updating the OS when I was already on the latest official build. I replied and next time they asked me to send a video after which they send me a zip file to flash in recovery which did nothing but just wiped my phone.
At this point in time without even having Lollipop and random screen and battery issue and a confirmed poor camera on this phone I lost all interest and just bought a LG G3 and so far very happy with it.
Ugh. That sucks for both of you. That's what scares me. My g2 is in the mail and I'm on a g pro right now which is OK but battery is insanely horrible. I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy the 1 and hope for the best. Every review I see is mostly a praise on the phone so hopefully I get that.
My dad and I both got one recently. My dad about 2 weeks ago and mine just barely a week ago. No issues here as far as we can tell. Though I should point out ours are the China versions which originally had ColorOS instead of CM. But they all should come from the same factory anyway...
