Moto G display hinge? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey fellow XDA'ers and Moto G owners,
I was wondering if I'm the only one who's able to spot a display hinge? It's very noticable when looking from an angle and when the content shown on the display is white (e.g. google chrome). It is in the botom right corner of the screen.
I already returned it to the store and they said I'm right. It's not normal for it to be there. They sent it back to Motorola and I got the device back after 3 weeks saying it should be fixed, but it's still there.
Here's the best pic I could take:

So anyone with the same problem? And should I return it to the store once again?

This ain't a hinge, it's just a bit of an uneven lighting. I've checked mine and there is one there too, just very very hard to spot.
Probably there is nothing wrong with your display, just you being too picky?

Yes I'm quite picky hahah. But it just got me wondering what it is, because everytime I browse with Chrome it's there because of the white background.

I think I'll buy one and cut a hole into the side to turn it into a dock. XD Does the G2 fit completely into it or does it stick out?

It will stick out, about half-ish of the G2 will be exposed.

That curve is pretty ridiculous. I don't see that being too comfortable.

Its not as curved a it seems. The blue highlight doesnt follow the screen on the ends. Look for the enhanced pictures of the phone also the enhanced on white background photos to better judge the curve.
Really excited about this. Hope the 11th is going to be a good day for good news.

I'm guessing it's essentially the same countour display on the Nexus S (which is quite nice). The enhanced photo does a better job of showing this.

Lines and spots

Just curious if anyone here is having problems with lines and spots in the screen on low brightness in a dim room? It looks kind of like brushed metal. I found another site with alot of people talking about it and it sounds like alot of people have it. Its not too bad on my screen but if its a known problem I didn't want to take the chance of exchanging it if I might get one its worse on! You can see it really well with a black background

Here's a thread devoted to the issue. No cure though. I've never noticed them but I get the impression they affect all our devices the same, just have to 'look' for them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337194&highlight=screen+lines
I had some spots on mine when I bought it. Exchanged it right away. It was suuuuper mild but I was like "F that!!" and exchanged it. No issues now
Yeah I exchanged mine but still have the same issue.

I'm guessing this is a dpi/screen size issue. Our screens are more of a 16:9 view (not sure if that's exact, just saying it seems that way). Personally, that's one of the only things I don't like about the phone. I miss the wider screen on my HD2, same as the Desire HD. Maybe that has something to do with it? Try playing with DPI settings, or use Spare Parts and check/uncheck compatibility mode, that used to fix screen app screen issues on the HD2. It doesn't bother me that much so I'm not gonna mess with it too much, but you can :highfive:

Pink line running down the edge panel

This annoying pink line, about 2dpi in width, just popped up in my edge panel. It runs down the whole thing and never goes away. Even when i reboot into recovery. I've restarted the phone, factory resetted it, etc. but it's still there. The funny thing is it doesn't show up on screen shot. I'll get a pic with another device and post it when i can. Anyone have a fix? Is there a code i can put in the dialer to get to screen settings?

But it's not there in screen shot
If it doesn't show up in a screenshot, and it still turns up in recovery etc it's probably safe to say it isn't a software problem sorry seems like a hardware issue
Thats definitely a screen issue not software. Your display might have been hit/dropped but either way its physical damage.
Sorry..
That's what i thought. Ugh
