Hi,
After powering on my Xoom today, I saw there is a horizontal dotted black line across the screen (Vertical if i put the screen on portrait mode)
Going into Fastboot mode, the dotted line becomes white color. Anyone experience this before and any solution to fix it?

Thanks in Advanced XDAer!
I can't seem to pull up the photo, but it sounds like a hardware issue from the way you're describing it. Your only choice is to send it to MOTO for repair. Since there's no way to prove it wan't from abuse you'll likely have to pay for the repair. :-(
From the picture it seems to be hardware related.
Use the following two tools to see if its not a "stuck pixel" problem.
Display Checker
Display Checker will help you identify dead pixels
Pixel Fixer
If an LCD display is subjected to physical shock, this could cause one or more TAB connections to fail inside the display. This failure is often caused by horizontally flexing the chassis (e.g., while wall mounting or transporting a display face up/down) or simple failure of the adhesive holding the TAB against the glass. TAB faults require replacement of the LCD display module itself. If these connections were to fail, the effect would be that an entire row or column of pixels would fail to activate. This causes a horizontal or vertical black line to appear on the display while the rest of the display would appear normal. The horizontal failure runs from edge to edge; the vertical failure runs from top to bottom.

That looks like your problem.
Hi Guys one question or more like interesting observation;
If i love something on my GS6 is amazing screen, specialty true black color which gets truly black by shutting down pixels. so this happens every time, but not on lock screen. When I set black lock screen the black color is not truly black anymore and the back lid light is seen. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
(its kind of disturbing to have black lock screen and home screen and when unlocking phone u get so clearly different color) - you can even try it out yourself and give it some feedback what u think of this
here is link to the black wallpaper; BLACK WALLPAPER
So if any of you know how to fix that or this is something that cannot be done and i just have to say bye to true black color on lock screen?
Thanks and wish to you all the best!
and also home button clicking sound..if i quickly tap on my home button its clicking.. annoying.. You guys also have this or its just mine? so i know i can put it on warranty.. for that money i want no mistake phone..

Most seem to have this. Ive had 2 and they both make the same noise
I have the exact same issue and more...
Please try the camera in a dark room and see if you have a white shadow almost like the one in the black lock screen?
I try to exchange the device but they say, and it´s true, that if it was a screen problem we would notice everytime.
If you look at the black image in the gallery you don´t get that white shadow!

That's because the lock screen has an effect. When you open the lock screen, it is set to lighten the wallpaper and zoom into it. It's because of the effect the lock screen doesn't appear truly black. I know it sucks, but I couldn't find any options to turn off the effect. I've simply resorted to using one of those active display notification apps from the play store that mimic the active notifications of the moto X. Screen stays pure black.
Hi guys
So I bought this TF101 at an auction and got Kisskat 4.4.4 on there. However I have green across the LCD which is very noticeable on the keyboard in the form of lines. In images its like the whole image is a green overlay though. Reminds me of the OLD crt TV's when something goes wrong and you loos a color and everything goes blue or red or green.
Plugging the HDMI cable the display is perfect on my TV. I can also see the green in recovery but with TWRP being blackish its not really that noticible. Also pure white backgrounds like a clean browser screen is fine. Its when colors are introduced that things get messed up. Icons and photos look pretty bad.
When I press on a key on the keyboard it turns the normal shade of grey/black just on that key. When I let go the green is back.
I did check the lcd cable inside and it was semi out on the one end but pushing it back in and even re seating it a few times did not solve the problem. I saw some super scientific methods of slapping and dropping the unit but either I didn't slap mine hard enough or its not working
It like the green pixels are moving -- difficult to explain. Also the screen flashes sometimes at when I switch it on .. like a florescent tube switching on. Do I need a new LCD or is the a motherboard problem? Anyone had this before?
The Green line doesn't show up if I switch off the phone and on it. But when you use it for a while and put it on screen lock mode display off) and switch it on back after a while (about in 10-20 mins) then a green color line appears and it's very clearly visible on grey colors. And later on another mildly visible line appears right below the top line on the bottom side but it's not as visible as the line appears on top. Is it display problem? do i have to change the display?
please help me

appearently yes, it looks like a Display problem.
Woke up today to see that my screen display has somehow shrunk and now I have a black border and my display does not fill up the entire screen panel. All apps get cutoff by this new black border. Is this a setting or something? I looked through the whole phone setting and couldn't find anything that would make this change or reverse it. Please help. I guess another way of saying it is the screen doesnt stretch to fill up the entire panel like it normally should.

Try with adb from pc use command prompt to type
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Or use terminal emulator type as below
su
wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Need root.
Post the picture so can see if it does not help
I dont have root. Can I do any of this without root?

I have attached the pictures. The 3 phone pics show the odd black border or the screen just shrinking in as the corner contours are still there from the edges. The Guardian Tales image is from taking a screen shot using the Power + Vloume Down key combo and takes a picture of the whole screen without the border issue. Its really odd.

I still don't understand your problem, I don't see anything wrong with the picture. And for the screenshot it will be always perfect as those are not related to the display.
If you look at picture 4, bottom right corner, the KONG logo is cutoff, it should look like picture 1. The black border in pictures 2 and 3 shouldnt be there, the homescreen should be fully covering the display and not have that thick of black broder cuase the display shrunk for some reason.
your display is not shrinking, the LCD is failing.

What do you mean failing? Its brand new and not even like 2 months old @[email protected]
Not sure if there is a setting or not, but my phone has been the same way since purchase. The screen does not go right to the end of the bezels. Some apps are cut off in each of the corners, because it seems it's scanning the image to a perfect 90 degree corner, meanwhile the screen itself not a 90 degree corner, but more of a concave corner. Because of this, the app is getting cut off in the corners, not much, but some.
I always assumed it was due to the way OnePlus has its screen and apps not properly scaling to the screen corners. Some apps have black bars on the side and it's not known or shown. Other apps that scale up to full screen in landscape mode, to the edges of the screen, those are the ones that get cut off at the corners.
In your picture, it's the same, that image is being scaled up to full screen in landscape, since the word Kong is in the far bottom right corner, it is cut off when scaled up.
