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.

Yesterday a bottle fell into my Moto G and caused some scratches, that are considerably noticeable. Is there any way I can fix them(even partially). I saw many fixes on the internet, including toothpaste, soda, sandpaper and Displex touchscreen cleaner, but they do not convince me, plus I am even afraid to try them as it could make the screen even worse. I would really appreciate any tips.:crying:
My phone developed scratches.. So I decided k wanted a new one.
I flashed the stock moto image..
Then flashed a different kernel and got the phone stuck on the startup screen... Took the phone in and replaced it there and then
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
Hi there, could anyone tell me based on experience, a really good LCD Screen + digitizer for me to buy? I can buy from ebay.in or ebay.com but there are hardly any ratings at all. If anyone has bought one, could you please tell me about the quality, link and if so, any defects? I would much appreciate it, thanks. Basically my screen is cracked an unresponsive, so i'm guessing I need LCD+Digi.

Hi, less than a month ago my screen also cracked, so I had to buy a new screen. Before buying it, I unmounted the phone and I had one more problem: the battery was COMPLETELY glued to the screen and I wasn't able to take it out. So finally I bought the screen and a new battery from eBay.
I bought this screen: ebay.com/itm/181445812771. I'm completely sure that the screen is the original one. I compared it with my cracked screen and they were exactly the same, except for the date printed in each screen, and it has a good quality, just as the screen that I had in my phone. BUT it was clearly used: the earpiece was a bit dirty and it had some glue on the back, probably from another battery. But I'm happy with the screen, actually, I prefer a used but original screen to a new but poor quality screen. Maybe they take this screen from a phone with a damaged motherboard or something like that. The screen doesn't have any scratch.
I wasn't so lucky with the battery. It was clearly a fake, so I returned it and bought another one from spareslg.com. I don't know if this battery is original or not, because there are some differencies between this one and the battery that I used before. Maybe this one has a bit better battery life, but I'm not sure, because now I'm using another ROM (based on 6.0 )
FYI, the non-original screens usually have problems with the proximity sensor and the GPS, so be careful with that. Good luck with the screen change! :good:
Hello, my Moto G8 Plus recently started with screen Burn-in. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, do you think it is convenient to send for guarantee?
Mine has te same problem when I'm playing and then go to another app. Cause I have night mode when a black screen shows I can see some in the screen from the game. But I have no guarantee so I don't know what to do
So, good morning friends and wishes here in Brazil for a happy new year, I couldn't see the post in time, the moto g8 plus screen is IPS so there is no burn in but an image retention. for that you should have called the guarantee. there is still the possibility that a future update will solve this, mine started with this problem after updating to Android 10, however mine is still under warranty if I continue I will trigger it. burn in are problems of manufacture and not of use and there should be a call back to exchange the part and even the complete product.
