Hi
This is my first post to this forum
Recently i had bought new Moto G from India. Phone is awesome. But display seems to be faulty. It's screen is slightly pinkish tinted. I had compared it to Nokia 520 and 720. Pics are attached herewith. My question is that, It is really faulty display or it is common to all Moto Gs. Please give me suggestion on this as there is still 30 day replacement scheme available. Should i have to replace it or not ?
Thanks in advance:good:
Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated!
this is a 1st world problem but its from India.
seriously, tints on the phone vary..most of the time towards blue. so having a slight pink would be perferred to many.
Is there anything really wrong with it? Then replace it.

Thanks for the reply.
I think most of the Moto Gs are made from 2nd world(china). so problem may be common to all.
i had asked this question because if this problem is common to all Moto Gs then there is no reason to replace it. and only other Moto G owners know the display quality.
further suggestions would be appreciated:good:

My screen does not have any tint. I guess you can replace it, if you still have replacement scheme and you can convince them that it is not as advertised.

Thanks,
Can you provide me the pics of your Moto G's screen ?
Read somehwere that manufacturers release these tinted glasses for a reason.... It gives the lcd more durability. Mine also has a velvetish tint on the screen. It could also be the addition of metal oxides to give it a better durability. Can anyone second me on this?

That i dont know,but may be possible
But i forgot to add one thing that even color of the LCD material of Moto G is somewhat reddish(not black or grey). When LCD is in off condition(no back-light), reflection of light from Moto G's screen seems to be reddish. Means color of the LCD material of Moto G is reddish, not blackish nor grayish
Does anybody has observed this type of thing ?

Hi xda-people,
So today I got my Moto G 4G version to replace my old 16GB version, because that one has some big scratches and for some reason kept pausing my music and telling me to unlock the device.
Anyway, I found out that the screen from my 4G edition has a yellow tint. I wouldn't have noticed it, but of course I couldn't resist to compare the screen of the 4G edition with my older 16GB edition. I have googled about it, but I haven't found a lot of information about different screen manufacturers for the Moto G. I know that the Moto G is known for having a 'cool, slightly blueish' screen. Or maybe my screen is broken, I don't know... I'm planning on returning it anyway. I want my white to be as white as possible and not crème :cyclops:
So my question is: Is it normal for my Moto G 4G edition to have a screen with a more yellow/warm tint? Is there perhaps a screen lottery again?
Thank you all!

Your display is totally normal. Depending if the display is made by LG or Sharp, you'll either have bluish or reddish tint. There is no perfect display anyway.

Thank you very much
If you don't mind voiding the warranty, you can swap the displays. All Moto G models use the same LCD and front chassis.

Hy Guys,
I've broken my Moto G 4G front glass. It is still fully working but I want to change the screen.
My problem is that all the replacement parts I've found are marked as compatible with XT 1032/1033/.... but none is mentioning 1039.
Does anyone knows if the screens are the same? Or there is any difference with the connectors?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. I've asked before but the guy took sometime to reply. Apparently it's not, according to him.
This seems a little strange IMHO, but I'll trust is answer.
I've found another seller with a replacement for 4G and ordered it.
Thanks again.

Where did you find the screen?

On eBay. Here is the link to the one I've bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LCD-Dis...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20e861f8ff
The same seller also has another one without the frame (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LCD-Dis...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item1c420c93d0) but the price difference is small and the one with the frame is easier to use.
I should receive mine today and I'll let you know my impressions after replacing the screen,
Replaced! And working!
Screen replacement done. Extremelly easy to do it and it is fully working. Screen quality is the same as the original.

I ordered a 1032/1033 screen & lcd via ebay and it fits the XT1039 perfectly - there's no difference whatsoever with the cabling.
its quite an easy job to do though even though the lcd on my moto g 4g wasnt damaged, i bought the glass & lcd already fitted together as it makes the job so much easier.
thanks for all the information it was very beneficial.
i have the exact same phone but u just want to replace the glass, will XT1036 etc. fit on my old LCD screen.

It will fit, but replacing only the glass is a much trickier task. There are some guys showing the process on youtube but you will see that it is not easy.The problem is that the glass is attached to the LCD with a strong glue and removing it without damaging the LCD is almost impossible.
I would not advice to do it yourself.
Just had a look at video tutorial for replacing glass and screen, its good to know that if i ever damage my screen it is quite an easy fix and pretty damn cheap

The site is unavailable from here (Europe/France). I found another one selling xt1032 (which someone in a post said is compatible) in USA http://www.fixez.com/motorola-moto-g-display-assembly-and-frame, but delivery time to Europe seems very long however if one don't want to spend more than half the price of the phone in order to get this part..
Will try a local phone repair shop tomorrow but am sceptic.
Hi there,
I have a question... I suggest that the screens are exactly the same (LTE and non-LTE versions) so I hope that there will be no problems if I'll try to repair my XT1039 with a XT1032 screen (In the description the seller on ebay says that its comaptible and moreover the screen is white coloured which means its for the 4G model).
My question is if anyone has experience with cheaper screens like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351153277410?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Do you think that it could be a fake one? Should I invest in a more expensive screen ? Because the links for screens here in this thread were usually approx. 40 dollars.
I'll be glad for any reactions regarding this problem.
Hello guys
I can confirm that 1032 lcd works on the 1039 model. I have ordered replacemenet lcd with frame for 1032 model and installed it on 1039. LCD is completly same, but frame required some small adjustment. There is small peace of plastic that had to be trimmed of, but it is not visible after assembly. I was easier for me than removing the frame from the LCD.
Hi guys , i want to know if this :
http://www.etradesupply.com/replacement-part-for-motorola-moto-g-front-housing-black.html
is comaptible with xt1039 4g version . I read your posts and i've seen that it might not be compatible .
Hi,
I successfully replaced a new screen to my phone. The only problem i have is that there is zone where the touch screen is not working (in bottom of the phone)
Is it a problem of the screen that i bough or an error in assembly?
Thanks for your help.
Hello, my son broke his Moto G LTE too. All works but display with black bubbles.
Any new suggestion about where to look for the replacement screen kit? I see that the original link appears as "ended". I contacted a repair shop here in Italy and would charge about 80 euros for the whole kit+work.
May I find anything around 30-40 euros in your opinion?
I found this for 34 us $:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LCD-Dis...091d56&pid=100011&rk=3&rkt=10&sd=141337688319
but delivery time is quite long... anything with better speed for delivery to Italy?
Thanks in advance for input

I broke the screen on my XT1039 and got a replacement screen for the XT1032, because a lot of them said they were compatible with both so I assumed they all would be.
The screen works fine, except the screen itself is pushed away from the bezel along the left edge. Is that the same reason why you had to trim a piece of plastic from the frame?
Thanks if you can reply, I know this is an old thread
Hello.
I reccently bought a NVIDIA Shield Tablet, and after 2 days i had it replaced becase the screen kind of had a "brownish" color tone on one of the bezels. The new one they gave me does not have that problem but the screen is different. When turned off you can see kind of a squared patern on it, and when on you can see that patern on some viewing angles. Is this possible?
Hope to get a quick awnser so i can present this complaint on the seller.
I'm pretty sure you're talking about the digitizer matrix. Is it really visible under bright light at about a 45°angle. Lots of little horizontal striations as well reflecting off the glass?

That's it. But the first one i got, i'm 99% sure it didn't had that. I believe it was a more recent model because it already came with lollypop instaled.
But tell me is it normal that screen on the Shield?
Thanks

Hey guys,
Potential LG G Flex 2(H955) owner here. Before I buy it, I heard that the G Flex 1 had some screen burn issues. The G Flex 2 has the same screen technology so I want to know to what extent it will screen burn, as compared to something like Samsung's AMOLED. I know that those display phones can get screen burn since they are on max brightness with the same image/wallpaper.
However I will be smarter with my G Flex 2 and I will need it to last at LEAST 2 years before another upgrade.
Any feedback will be appreciated, thanks!

there are issues with some screens for example you see yellow spots with brightness 0% in grey font. With full brightness it is not very visible.

That wasn't what he's asking and I'd like to know that too.
My Note 2 screen has burned parts of it (top, bottom and a vertical yellow line in the middle) from using it for navigation. It appeared after a couple months of using it for that purpose.

Maybe its too early to spot this issue i personally have the phone less than 2 months. but from what I read about yellow spots and banding even changing the screen in service doesn't mean that you will get a perfect panel. Some people changed 5-6 times panel in order to find a good one.

Yeah. The problem (at least for me) is, that I couldn't find any info on this pOLED technology. I know AMOLED will burn out like nobody's business but I don't know if there is any reason this POLED would behave any different. It's the OLED part which is the culprit in the end (IMHO) but one just hope, they found some way around it (wishfulthinking).
I have a Flex 2 revision 1.0 from Italy. It has a permanent ghosting on white screen with the logo lg barely visible in the background. Also some yellowish tinting here and there. Blacks are impecable and on screen tester it shows perfect greys/blacks. I am starting to think the problem was heat. The 810 overheated the newly engaged screen and burnt a image on the glass itself . Oled are small oleophobic panels which generate heat so when it was coupled with the processor heating it created a ghost of the still image which still haunts me.

Do you even know what you're saying?
OLED stands for Organic LED. Oleophobic means fat/grease resistant.
I bought 16gb Version in India and i found my screen to have a yellow Tint, is it natural or should i ask for replacement? Everything else is fine. Please reply quickly. Thanks.
I took a screen shot of the clock app and sent it to my old HTC desire x and the blue was perfect blue while my moto it was light and purple in colour.
And can anybody else please check their clock app and tell me if its a dark blue or purple as in my case. Will help me a lot, thanks .
Any overheating issues too?

Edit: Actually the screenshot looks blue to me but my clock app is definitely purple when I look directly at the phone.

The same problem here too, screen shot on laptop seems blue , but its purple when i see it on my phone.
And also i just figured that the clock app shades change depending on time, so i changed my time to your screen shot time and i compared, its blue on the laptop but purple directly.
so this is general occurrence i assume.
:crying:
i returned mine, but same issue screenshots differ in color also selfies sometime are yelowish.
what ashame for motorola release a phone with so many issues!!!
I dunno if I should replace or not now, everything else is fine. anyone else has the same problem or I can get a proper screen ?

Well, if you're finding any issues with the display you can ask for replacement. They will replace it without any questions.
Talking about the yellow tinge, I am having no such issues on my Moto G. The clock however, changes its color according to the time. Are you seeing the yellow tinge throughout your usage? If yes then get a replacement.

Well in that case, here is my video review. Have a look. youtu.be/b7YPJJHafJY
I have come to peace with it now it definitely is warmer in colour reproduction, but I don't want to risk getting another defective handset over this, the mobile has been great so far, with insane battery i must say. screen on time reached 5.3 hours with average to above average usage. And about 4 hours with heavy usage. Definitely a keeper. thanks for the replies mates.
can close the thread now admins. Or is there an option for me to close it myself?
Just compared my wife's Moto E to my Moto G. Both US. Ran screen test app. The G definitely has a Yellowish cast in the whites and greys. And the colors are different on the same wallpapers.
yes it definitely does have a yellow warmer tone in my phone too.

The yellowish tint is because of adaptive display. In nexus 6 you will find a pinkish tint on the screen. Some phones of motorola have this issues.
