It is only visible at certain angles in a dark room.

Went to a dark room and with angry birds 2 I see a little bit through power button

Poorly made. That's the light leaking from the screen.

No I don't, I haven't had any Moto's Products, but because I have/had HIGH expectation from Motorola, thought, they did that on purpose, because if it wasn't, it is a BIG MESS, BIG... !

I have it as well, and me being me i decided to try to test its waterproof ability . And my phone is still fully working so it affect its waterproof capability and yes i did do a full submersion. Also I contacted Motorola Tech Support and they said that is is fine.
Also a little side note after submersion if the speaker doesn't work its because the headphone jack is full of water so the phone thinks headphones are plugged in so just blow into it to get the water out.

OK, so I have analyze everything written in this reply and it appears that the moto g have a secret waterproof(half supported)and about the light coming out of the buttons moto really made it and they MEAN IT( since you said that you contacted moto tech support and they said it's fine)

So basically to summaries the phone is still IPX7, about the light I don't know if they meant it but they said it was "normal" sooo I don't really know.

I think it is by design specially that the audio button has two spots and the power button is only one. Personally I find it cool!

Here's the official Motorola reply.
Thanks for reaching out to us. The blue "light" seen in the photo is actually a reflection of the display backlight off of some internal components and is not a defect. The Moto G uses a combination of external seals and internal seals to keep your phone safe from splashes and drops in water. The power and volume keys are protected by internal seals, and there is no risk of water leakage in these areas.

So if its not a defect it means its supposed to be like that. To me it looks like it was done on purpose due to the location of the light. So agree with the poster a few posts back.

i can observe it .. i also have those blue light lit

Mine has it too and I'm still not 100% sure about the waterproofing. Maybe they stop using an external seal and leave all the work to an internal seal that was originally intended has a back up or change it(?). If light leaks then the only way water won't is that the seal or part is transparent, if they intended is a possibility tho. But I don't believe is one intended feature since no advertising about it was made at all and no all moto g semms to has it. It'll be a really weird move from Motorola to add a feature like this and the strangest thing is that no all of their support team knows about it.
I got in contact with them yestersay and after seeing the photos they tell me to ask for a replacement... maybe the agent was new or just lazy? I'll give it a try again and see if it was just the agent not knowing or laziness... Finally there's almost no information about this,so maybe is something that just start happening which might mean that this is a change in production.

Every moto g3 has that hole where light comes.

A have it too better not b a defect ave rooted and modded mines to the hill so my warrenty is gone.

I took a look at the internal components of the device by disassembling it and saw little lights behind the buttons, so the lights are actually meant to be there, don't know why though.

All Black pixels are red -- hardware issue?

Not entirely sure this is a good place to post it, but I was going to fly on an airplane, read a few pages of a PDF at the airport, got on the plane, then went to turn my EEE Tablet back on after takeoff, and the entire screen looked red-shifted:

}
It seems all black pixels are red, though other colors are more or less okay.
I'm at a loss for what it would be. Is that a hardware problem or a software problem? Going into recovery, though, everything was also red; a friend of mine said it was probably a bad cable.
Does anyone have any advice, or has seen something similar? I'd feel really silly if I restored to stock, sent it in, and it was just some setting on an obscure settings page I accidentally changed.
Try the force power off method (10-12sec power button hold). If still getting the issue try a hard reset from the android settings. If it still does it, it's a hardware issue and you'll need to return or RMA it. Could be quite a number of things causing this strange issue. Bad cable connection, overheated gpu, glitch in the matrix, etc.
EDIT: just noticed you said 'restore it to stock'. Could also be a dodgy rom you installed. So yeah reflash a stock one.
Wow.. that's bizarre. Seems like it's a hardware thing to me .. try doing a factory reset? Do you have any accessibility related applications installed?
You mentioned it happens in recovery, what about when booting? The first Asus screen?
If so, its most likely hardware. But still try a stock flash
You didn't by any chance subject your tablet through any magnetic equipments at the airport did you?
Anyway, a search with Google with the keywords "red pixels black background" gave general results that the graphics processor has malfunctioned. You may have to get an RMA for your tablet.
Looks like a magnet got it to me.....
maby the xray machine fukkd up the sensitive ips, or maby the pressure change. this is the first ive seen of this
Did you go through the metal detectors with it before handing it over to be xrayed?
possible multiple stuck pixels?
try looking for an app to "unstuck" the pixels.
Or try youtube(Search fix stuck pixel video or something like that) and play a video in full screen. run it a few times and maybe itll get those suckers to light on and off and eventually fix it.
good luck
Speaking of airports..
Never traveled with a laptop/tablet. Do you HAVE to submit your device through the xray machine, and if so, is it a potential risk to the unit?
It's either the GPU output or the cable. It's hardware. It's broken. It's not magnetized (that's dumb-it doesn't happen to LCD) nor are those stock pixels. If it happens outside of the OS, it's not software.
RMA

Yes, you have to submit it if they ask. No, it won't harm it.

It's clearly stated on TF manual:
There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and magnetic wands
(hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can send your Eee Pad through airport X-ray machines. But do not send your Eee Pad through airport magnetic detectors or expose it to magnetic wands.

So I guess it's the magnetic detector.

Manual schmanual. There is nothing in this device that is sensitive to the magnetic field emitted by the metal detectors at the airport.
If it had a hard drive or a CRT screen, then maybe.

I walked thru a metal detector and nothing bad happened to it, it's not a very powerful machine.
Edit: Maybe it has become self aware like that Droid bionic and it's trying to figure out how to kill you with no moving parts. Careful when you plug it in.

Id say real, looks like a authentic photo with reflections on the poster
Shows 1.2ghz Dual core Processor, with the dates 10/11/2011 or 11/10/2011 american date
Super amoled which we guessed etc 4.7" screen it says
I agree with you. Lets wait for HK tonight and confirm all this
one thing that i find strange is
Why are the 3 dot connectors on the same side as the power button? if u have it docked on the side how would u turn it on?
Seems abit silly which could indicate fake but its hard to call something real when its unreleased
But "what if" that is not a connector?
any theorys on what else 3 dots could do? 3 dots is pretty common for dock connectors
what if they are on both sides?
like ,for fingers, not to "slide" from hand ?

That doesn't make any sense at all. (No offense, just being brutally honest.)
The dock pin connectors belong on the other side but otherwise this is pretty much spot on.

The official teaser video showed the pins on the same side as the power button. The only thing I see that makes me doubt it is the lack of curvature on the screen.
i like it and think thats what its going to look like. we will see today and i work at a cell phone store and the nexus is in my cellbrite for like two weeks already and we get promo posters and cards and t shirts all the time before phones come out so why not and its china we all know the chinnese got the inside info on everything

Yeah, but I saw the enhanced photos from the video, and the curve on the actual device appears much more distinct than the Nexus. We'll see though I suppose.

What concerns me is the bottom bezel. It looks like there's a lot of black after the on-screen buttons on the bottom. Seems like a lot of wasted real-estate. In the leaked videos, it's even more apparent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9TfZGie48

[Q] Vibrate Motor

Not sure if hardware questions are allowed here, but my vibrate motor (I purposely avoided using the term vibrator) is making a chirping noise now, and I'm wondering how hard it is to replace. I saw some YouTube videos on replacing the screen, but nothing specific to the vibrate motor. I build/upgrade my own PCs routinely, and also repair my laptops, cars, a/c unit, or whatever else needs fixing, so I'm not scared to work on my cellphone either.
I know what happened to cause the noise. I sprayed some electrical contact spray into the mini-USB port to clean it out, and apparently some of the spray got into the vibrate motor as well. Doh!
Probably should still be in Q/A , but anyways. If you can work on a PC, or have worked on a PC Mother Board. Then replacing the motor should be no issue. It's fairly straight forward. It will take you more time to get to it, then to actually replace it.

Probably most similar to working on a laptop with all the layers involved. PCs are easy to open and work on. On laptops, you have to remove the keyboard before doing anything else, so similar to having to remove the panel underneath the battery on a cell phone first. The biggest problem may be finding a schematic of where the vibrate motor is located. So far, everything I have seen is about changing the screen, so they don't mention the vibrate motor.

No-go on replacing the vibrate motor. It's soldered into the board, and too risky to heat it up because it's so close to other connectors. The battery and USB connectors are right next to the vibrate motor, and you don't want to melt those connectors by accident. I guess I'll have to live with the squeak. I've already turned off all Haptic feedback responses, and am just leaving vibrate on for ringing and messaging notfications.
There are places that will replace parts like that for you around here. But where you live IDK. You could ask at an electronics shop. See if they have any people they could recommend.

That was actually the advice I got from one of those shops. Very nice and knowledgable guy. He popped the back and removed the board while I watched. He said he could try it, but that it was very risky and he wouldn't advise it. I suggested spraying some WD-40 into the motor, but he said it would leave a white residue everywhere from the propellent gases of the can, and possibly corrode some of the plastic parts, which made sense. He did blow some regular compressed air into it, but that didn't help. He didn't charge me anything.
It was kinda cool when he booted my phone and saw the flash screen (a spinning blue bee at the time). It started a whole discussion about rooting.
That's definitely the route I would go. I've seen the repair shop around here do some really delicate work. They have some specifically designed equipment to get the job done. But I've seen them work on everything from a Motherboard for a CPU, to an OG EVO. A Spinning Blue Bee you say

Tough Screen on the Note 3, very tough!

I've had a little accident regarding my Note 3. I was taking part in my hobby (Horse Riding) during a trot my phone decided to fall of my pocket. (when not having lessons I have a Bluetooth ear piece for taking phone calls). Long story short, my phone got trodden on by 200lbs, twice, 200lbs per hoof.
What I want to know is, is there anyone else that has had a lot of pressure placed on their phones?

I didn't think people we're replying... I don't that was just a wild guess (the horse (Small pony) + tack + me is 800lbs...I don't have a camera to get a picture...but the little tiny crack is still there in the bottom left of the screen.
not sure how much kilos but my daugther always steps on it and thinks that its like something to step on. and she always throws it here and there. i has gone through a lot of throwing. it even landed face first on solid concrete from lets say 20". (not to imagine it was thrown really hard). but not a single dent/crack whatsoever. really happy with it for now. its handling the brutal day to day life. lol
btw, mine has a back case. and the lower/upper side of the phone is completely unprotected. and it has a screen protector that wasn't cheap and that the guy that sold it to me when i bought the phone said it is genuine stuff. lol

It depends on how it fell and if it was face down or face up. Pretty sure it was fave down in the dirt. The dirt probably soften the hit and the back of the phone is straight plastic

[Q] Capacitive Buttons Brightness

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the brightness ? Mine seems very dark currently and I'm on Slimcat Official Build 7
I've tried the "Capacitive Buttons" apk and it's no help.....
Not at the moment.
The lighting is exactly the same on my OPPO Find 7A which shares a lot of the same hardware as the OPO. I think it's a hardware issue otherwise we would have seen a fix for it by now.

Bummer this is my only gripe so far with this phone.
Please don't take this the wrong way but does it matter if they are not bright as they never change or move so you know where they are and what they do. I think it looks good the way it is because the front of the phone is very minimalistic except for the silver frame but that is uninformed around the hole screen. I thought the idea for the dim keys was to give a more stealth look to the phone, hence no branding in the front glass.

Are the buttons bright enough to see indoors now?

They've always been bright enough for me to see indoors. I can't answer for you though, perform a nandroid backup and try the ROM for yourself to see if its bright enough.

Please don't take this the wrong way but does it matter if they are not bright as they never change or move so you know where they are and what they do. I think it looks good the way it is because the front of the phone is very minimalistic except for the silver frame but that is uninformed around the hole screen. I thought the idea for the dim keys was to give a more stealth look to the phone, hence no branding in the front glass.

Yeah, I kind of wish they were brighter too.
A little brighter would be nice. Fortunately, I pretty much know where they are now without looking. I still miss the mark though once in a while. I am just thrilled they put the back button on the right, where it belongs, so I am not going to complain.
