Display issue after 4.4.4 upgrade - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, so I Just upgraded my moto to 4.4.4 in the UK, and now there's a sort of smudge on my screen near the center left of the display, its very obvious when i use my phone in bed, and it annoys me non stop. The smudge looks like a white fingerprint but its on the display, like a dead pixel or something which it obviously isnt. I will take a photo on my tablet so you can see it, as unsurprisingly it doesnt show up in screenshots. I would greatly prefer software alternatives over hardware ones due to the fact im in quite a rural area. Thanks, Neo

Here's the picture. Sorry for horrible quality, but at least you can distinctly the smudge.

In my opinion, it looks like the display had some water

nothing can be seen well from the photo, it's like an halo under the screen.

Try to dry the humidity with an hair dryer, carefully, really. This was the suggestion I can second, in my opinion. The better photo?

I've been really busy today working, so I'll take one in the morning. Also, if its water under the screen should I put the dryer on minimum heat?

Correct, I suggest medium heat and try short, multiple time heating. Difficult to sort out without a much clearer photo as stated from smbody else.

Here's a "better" photo, as my moto has the best camera of my devices, and my tab 2 has a 3mp shooter so the quality ain't great.
EDIT: been blow drying to seemingly no gain, will try later. In the meantime, any other ideas?

Are ( or is, the spot appears to be the same of the other photo) the places of the screen responsive to touch inputs with your littlest finger?

That is obviously not a plain gray background. I believe it is meant to have some sort of texture. I do agree that those discolorations look odd. Take it in and get it replaced!
Mine has a small spot too. I noticed it when. Opening the XDA app on the brown screen

Unlucky dead pixel, well they will not replace that unless you have 5 up, so I suggest you make them 9 just to make sure jk

Post pictures you have taken with this device

So far I'm reading alot of you guys are not happy with dim light or challenging situation results. Can you post good and bad shots? Will help other get an idea in deciding. I'm really concerned about indoor shots, dim lights, etc. Thanks.
I took both of these in low light. First is night mode, second is auto mode.
*I have removed the plastic film from the lens. It doesn't actually cover the opening, but the camera does seem to focus a bit better since removing it. Maybe placebo...

Both are without flash.
All of these were taken in artificially lit rooms... average to mediocre lighting.

The camera doesnt seem too bad, but I dont think the camera would do well in a pub or club type of light. But so far I like how the pics look. At least night mode helps.
The camera is fantastic.

In apartment shots (not super low light but not bright our outside lit) are def better than my iphone 5. I recommend turning on auto night mode (switched to night automatically).
Camera is amazing.

Build quality issues?

I've been reading that there may be some build quality issues, with the N5.
One issue is the screen is prone to breaking after a slight drop?
Any comments here regarding this?
Thanks all.

Nope, already been discussed ad nauseam
There are about a thousand threads about this. Just do a quick search.

Take these post with a grain of salt
Things break when you drop them, don't drop it.
I feel like there are a hundred threads asking this question.
Agree most phones will have a cracked screen if dropped.. Depends whether you are willing to get a case or if u like the N5 naked.

The screen is glass, and it behaves accordingly.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It's gorilla glass 3. If it breaks, almost any other phone would have broken as well. I really wouldn't worry about the build quality. It's pretty impressive.
People have to stop making these threads. There is already a 100+ page long thread called "Nexus 5 Defects".

If all goes as planned, I'll have mine tomorrow and I plan on toying around with those. I'm used to them on my DSLR so if I get ambitious enough, maybe I'll do some side by sides, but I'm pretty lazy soooo.,......
The left image is on my Canon T3i in manual mode. The right is my Note 5. I in no way expected it to be close to the same quality but the color was just way off. https://i.imgur.com/4z1XkqT.jpg The manual settings on the Note 5, though nice....are still quite basic. I may try a couple other cameras with RAW support.

Did you see they have a 'Food' filter setting you can download from within the camera app? Wonder how much a difference it would make.

Took some pictures of my new place this weekend:
These are just snapped in auto mode, no changes made to anything. Really like the camera, especially how quickly it focuses. Have been told to try the Auto HDR mode, so I will when I get a chance.
