[Q] Top screen blue. What it could be? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My best friend's Moto g, not frequently (but periodically) got this issue using apps like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
It consists in a blue status bar, but if you take a screenshot you can't see the trouble.. Only if you take a picture (as I did) you can appreciate it.
This trouble isn't permanent. If you close the app the issue stops and the screen works as it should be. Pretty weird.
What this could be? Any idea? How can we fix it?
Greetings from Santiago de Chile, the southernmost capital in the world.
(Sorry for my English and thanks in advance)

Since you said that if you take a screenshot it doesn't show up , I'm guessing it's most likely from a defective display that reacts to certain color types . He should get it looked at it if he still has warranty .

Sounds indeed like a hardware problem.
In case you are still within the warenty period I would try to get a new one.

HTC Touch HD, problem with the display

Hey whats up,
I've got my HD for about a half a year and recently I noticed that its display doesn't display stuff properly. When I display some color transition, it's just not smooth. I'd describe it more like 3mm thick lines of cumulatively dark color next to each other. Therefore, the transition works, in the end the stripes make the picture look like some sort of a transition.
My problem is, that the final picture looks like a crappy GIF image. I'd like to ask you other guys with HTCs, is it normal that the display shows things this bad?
I can't remember if it had been like that before I bought it. I believe it might have something to do with one incident where I tried to take a photo while shaking the phone, resulting in an automatic soft reset leaving the display damaged for some reason. What do you guys think?
Thanks
Maybe another Softreset could help.
If not try a Hardreset.
regards
fwt
Are you setting this picture as the wallpaper, is this what u mean?
Im not sure what u are trying to do, is it only this picture that looks crap?
Did you solved problem with your HD display?
I have same problem with my Touch Cruise. But, not always, only sometimes. Clicking power-on button multiple times helps in temporary problem solving, but it repeats again and again.
i feel u can not care

[Q] Screen problem(hardware or software..

Hi
I've got a problem with the screen on my OPO. As you can see on the pictures, all icons and text is double. It's almost like a shadow on everything.
I've tried to install new firmware(CM11s, CM12, ColorOS) and new Recovery and resetting the phone but nothing helps.
The phone is working fine and I have no problems pressing the icons or typing a text.
I'm already in contact with my dealer and they say it's a hardware problem and I have to sent it back(Warranty).
But I'm not quite sure that it's a hardware problem, that's why I'm asking here.
Anybody experienced something similar???

[Q] Screen in colorful snow mode. No damage, I broke glass in September.

First I would ask someone who can do it to change my name to Paradox1_CRO.
Autofill did it! (e-mail = username)
Back on my case;
name of the video:
Nexus 5 Screen....bug?!
can't put link, because I'm new.
c/p description
My N5 was bought on 31.8.2014.
I broke my screen on 3.9.2014. (fell asleep with him in bed)
Just glass broke, nothing more. Everything was ok until today.
Full stock, updated on 5.1.1.
The problem first appeared today, on 14.06.2014. about 11:25 in morning. He was in my pocket and I was playing Belote, on table in the shade. I went on whatsapp and then N5 started to be very slow ~3s from typing password to whatsapp, then I reset him. The same scene has happen before this video. I can hear screenshot sound, but still got black screen. Also those screenshots are saved (I have few of them on my HDD, look a like normal screenshots of start screen).
Also, if I don't restart N5, he stays in same position for ~25mins.
I left him for 25mins and still same thing. N5 stays cold all the time.
So;
what is this?
How bad is it?
What should I do?
When connected to PC, PC sees like usual. :good:
Yes, I know my camera is.... piece of crap, but it does record, somehow...
EDIT:
To find video, go on YT and set the filter on today!

"Ghosts" on the display

Hello everyone, this evening when I play with my s8 plus, i notice that when i swipe from one screen to another, there are "ghosts" goes from top and bottom of the device. The worst it is, when the bringhtness is set to center/low and bluelight sensor is on, ist that normal? I try to make a video and take the screen when I took the password. Phone is after latest update QDD, after I install it, i clear dalvik cache, after that I make factory reset. The phone after the update is little bit slower, and how i remember, befor update the antutu was showing acros 175000, now it is about 172-3000. Where can be problem?
The new video and photo what i take:

I see nothing on the pic and vid.
What ghosts?
Could you please draw in the picture and Mark the places with the ghosting?
Hello, yesterday I was in Samsung Service center, and they told me, that is normal display functionality. So I was going to the near shop and compare it to another galaxy S8+ and lets see the differences, my display is little bit purple, what i should do, they said I should wait to another update, but last update QDD im currently download and install it and the phone have still a little bit purple colors on some angles. PS: my phone is after QDD update more lagging than before, some ideas what I should do? I made Clear dalvik cache and after that factory reset.
If you are unhappy with a device costing 1k€ then take it back, I certainly would. I am not suggesting you have a lemon but let the retailer see the problem and if you are not satisfied insist on a new mobile. Mine, so far, is fine, zero problems (touch wood). If it misbehaves it will go back as it should.
Let us know how you get on.

I would suggest getting it replaced. However, if you have as much trouble showing them what the issue is as you are us, I doubt they'll swap it. You need to put up some solid color backgrounds and see what it does. The pics you're posting could just be banding in the original image. Not sure what to to tell you.
That's the problem when I try the service code and turn on the red, green, blue screen, everything looks OK. As soon as I go to the main screen or I go to the application menu, and the brightness is set to less than half, the problem is there. This is not a static picture, the "bubble" above moves. When I turn on the blue light sensor, so it's even worse, but if I give more brightness, the problem is not. Also, there is no problem in any application. It would be good to have someone who has s8 plus orchid gray, to check if have the same problem, or at least try setting the orchid gray theme. Anyway, when I compared it with the other s8, the display was more pink, and I did not notice the problem what I have.

I´ve same problem with the "ghost" when i try unlock
Believe me. I cant swe any hosting.
What I see is a dark screen where it should be dark.
I have orchid grey and I can check something for you.
PS. I checked every single picture posted here.
BTW. On yt video the animations are very slow. It looks like you turn on the specific option on the developers setting.

Maybe it is just software, we should wait. But at the night it is really annoying.

S7 Strange Screen Flickering

So I bought my used S7 recently, the device seems to be totally clean not even a scratch on the frame, looks like brand new and even the software status is OFFICIAL not even the Knox is tripped.
I found a thread on XDA about using an updated version of TouchWiz Home of the S8 for the S7 by installing the APK.
it worked like a charm until I started to change my wallpapers and notice something strange.
im using an application to change the wallpapers auto every 5 minutes, the problem is whenever the wallpaper i use has some bright colors like bright purple or bright red and i press the app button to access the app drawer those colors (ONLY) flicker , they flicker just before the screen get blurred and take u to the app drawer, and also when u go back to the main screen from the app drawer also right after the blur disappear.
i got scared so i uninstalled that Touchwiz Update and came back to stock, to notice that the problem is still there, but its not as noticeable as the s8 TW
i wanted to know if the screen is dying or this is something normal, and also wanted to know if its a software related problem or hardware one, and finally if someone is having the same issue ( i can share a wallpaper if anyone is willing to try wit it )
NB: the screen flicker ONLY ON THE BRIGHT COLOR before the blur effect happens and After it.
Thank you all in advance & i apologize for my English
I made this video If you focus on the second time especially ( when going to the home screen from the app drawer ) you can see clearly the red rose flicker. Sometimes the flickering is harder depending on how bright is the color.

This can only be a software problem, because its also visible in the Video. Your screen is not damaged, and it will not be damaged. This issue is not a problem, maybe only a bit annoying.

It is so annoying for me cuz i had an old S5 plus that ended up with the screen flickering so whenever i see it flickering i got a heart attack.
Is there anyway to fix it i tried factory reset but nothing changed..
Thank you anyway for replying
I think thats a Problem with the Launcher. I've tried it on my Phone, and it is also flickering. You can try to speed up the Animation-Speed in the Developer-Settings. Maybe then you wont see the flickering.
You can see it here, that it is also on my phone: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nYKM5ss9EKe3L0M43

Thank you very much !!!! You have no idea how much its relieving to know that this problem is not only present in my device.
For now ill just stay away from bright wallpapers until hopefully Samsung will make fix for this issue.
Thank you again !
EDIT : after i came to the pc and i saw the GIF u made i noticed that we dont have the same flickering , maybe the quality of the GIF wasnt high enough but for me it didnt seem to be te same, so i will ask you one last time when you tried that wallpaper did it show the SAME result as my video for u ?
thank you in advance
