Guys pls help me,my display is acting weird, every 20-30 hours it develops a glitch like colors wash out, lines develop on screen, display greys out etc, on restart phone works fine again for few hours. I also did factory reset but problem persists. Seems to me like a GPU issue. However, I am afraid to give phone to moto service center because of their horrible service in India, I called few of them here in Delhi, they simply said they don't have any parts for moto x style, therefore they don't service, moreover it is hard to reproduce the problem to show it to service people as it occurs randomly, kindly help me, is it some software glitch or GPU issue as I suspect and which is the best service center in Delhi, is there any way to get it replaced it by Motorola as they don't do rma in India.<br />

I got a serious problem with my mda vario here.
sometimes, 7 out of 10 times, when i get a call the screen gets totally corrupted and jumbled like on the picture in the attachment. i can only see black vertical lines on a white screen. in order to make the screen work properly i have to turn the phone off/on (stand-by mode) then.
does anybody know where the problem is?
i have to confess, that the phone slipped out of my hands and fell on the ground 3 times so far.
thanks
well, you say youve dropped it 3 times already? is it possible that something may be loose inside? is there cosmetic damages from dropping?
yes, there are some scratches on it. i don't really think that something is loose or broken, because the screen gets only on icoming calls corrupted.
so i don't think that it is due to a loose contact or something like that...
I have exactly the same problem. I personally think it is unlikely that dropping the phone has caused it as it corrects when you cycle the power button. Any help on this from other forum member would be much appreciated.

Any resoluation this? I have the exact same problem!!
Oh dear ... somethings in the air...
mine's got it also. first time i saw it was a couple of days ago. only happens with the alarm clock in the morning :?
My phone is crap like hell... gotta hard reset and reconfig the damn thing. acting up lately...
(ps... AFAIK i barely dropped the phone... maybe 1 or 2 times. nothing more)
I have the same problem
I have read the service manual of wizard and said:
Unusual Vertical / Horizontal lines or partial display
(1) Check the connection of LCM FPC whether is properly connected. (Is a conector between motherboard and LCD)
(2) Try with another LCM. (LCM=LCD Screen)
(3) Try with another Main Board.
(4) Replace LCM if necessary
(5) Replace Main Board if necessary.
(6) Once the defective part has been identified, verify it again with the defective part whether the
symptom could be duplicated
Any sugestion?
Okay..
so far, i have installed Molski 2.26 rom (30meg free version) and upgrade the radio rom form 2.25 to 2.47.
I have not had another occurance of this so far.
Maybe a fluke.
Screen fixes when pressure applied to bottom of the screen
Guys,
I now have to keep my finger pressed hard against the bottom of the lcd unit to get the screen to display to work properly. it is under warranty with Imate but they want me to send it to Abu Dhabi for repair. I'm in Canada and concerned that I may not get it back.
So has anybody else identified this as being a loose connection rather that a real hard fault. Also has anybody fixed their unit by dismantling and reseating the connections.
Finally has anybody used the Imate repair service and was it timely & reliable?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Mick
This is a real hard fault.. had it with my mini s, took it into the shop, it was away 2 weeks... and in the end they gave me a replacement!!
I agree - took it completely apart and cleaned everything ....
And still have the issue.
Serves me right for buying something in Middlesbrough I suppose
It must be a hard fault with the LCD assembly. Will have to see how Dixons handles an overseas repair.
Take care & thx,
Mick
I had the same problem, in the end i took it into my local t-mob shop to have it repaired, they ended up sending me a new one.
Well, I've exactly the same problem since the past two-three weeks, it also occurs only in the morning. I'm living in the Netherlands and this is happening since it's rather cold over here, especially in the morning (3-4 degree Celcius). Since my bedroom window is open during the night, it gets rather cold in my room.
During the rest of the day it is +8 degree Celcius, and the phone works flawless. Maybe this problem has something to do with the Temperature?
Temperature
Bebob - don't thin so as I have had this problem for a number of months and the temp here in the summer is high (30+ degrees C)
It looks to be a bad connection type issue and may be a bad screen cable. It makes sense though that the issue is at the bottom of the screen cos this is where we press the select buttons all of the time.
Pls keep me posted on how you do. mine is going to a local repair shop (on my dime) tomorrow to see if they can fix it.
If not can any of you guys recomend a new unit that could be considered an upgrade to the KJAM ?
Many thanks
Mick
suggestions needed
friends, i have o2 mini s and got the same problem with screen for the last 3 weeks....
can anyone tell me that will the problem aggravate or else will i be able to use my cell properly for few months...
and also what will be the approx cost of repair..
all suggestions will be warmly appreciated...
It's happened to me as well. I have lived with that for one month now. It is happening, when I touch the cursor keys or when touch the lower part of the display. I tried "shaking/hitting" the xda and it looks better, so I assume it is a faulty connection cable.
I have active Cleartype and no more vertical lines for the past 2 days.
I seems to be a problem when background is white and leters are black.
Regards
similar problem
i dropped the phone (T-Mobile MDA Vario) and now when i turn it on the screen is fine for 5-30 seconds but then it scrambles, but works again if i smack the bottom of the phone on my hand!
t-mobile staff told me there are sensors to identify if it has been dropped. I'm suspicious that it could even be programmed to go "faulty" once it is dropped as the screen is fine for a limited time so it obviously works somewhat. do you know if this is the case? or what's happened? also is it a simple thing i could do myself? i didn't take out insurance so that's why i haven't just claimed off that as i'm really broke
Any help is appreciated
Regards,
Steve
whiteish screen / over temperature
hi,
I have a problem smilar at qtek 9100. I had upgade to my ppc wm5 to wm6 around 3 week ago and overclocked to 221 mhz with batery status today plug-in . 2 days ago Screen became whiteish (almost no contrast or over gamma) and working temperature is around 30c. I tried to re-flash with many kind roms but noting chaged.
Is there anybody has these kind of experice. If I can not solve. I am planing to buy new LCD ( I am not sure new LCD will solve the problem)
Thanks
Same problem here. Dropped it ONE time and the screen went crazy. Sent it to my t-mob shop and they got it repaired. They said in the report that they changed the "flex". Dunno if this helps.
So my RMA device is defect, the OS sometimes glitches out and freezed (the BG still moves) and sometimes randomly the touchscreen stops working (deadzone in the middle of the screen, cant touch that part) and when that happens, the touchscreen also randomly clicks stuff without me doing anything, but sometimes its fine
Is it a broken digitizer? and one question is, WHAT IF I RMA it, and then the guy is like the phones fine, no lag or touchscreen issues, will they bill me? even if there is a problem and it happens randomly? and i have a bump soo, idk if they will charge me or not, any thoughts? the help threads are really much help :/
ps im noob, tell me if i should have not posted here
A proper service should insist on trying to reproduce the problem and not just having a look and conclude it is OK.
They will factory reset your phone though to see if it happens due to your configuration.
But I think they usually RMA what has to do with digitizers.
Even if they find no fault you should not be charged.
You are covered by your warranty.

Hello folks,
i have a very strange thing with the display of the new S7 edge from my girlfriend. And after reading arround 4 hours in the forum, i´ve decided to open a thread and asking for help.
I will try to explain what happend. The phone ist brand new and arrived today. After unboxing we running the first start process and during this i realized that the display had a "dead zone". In this zone it is nearly impossible to type or click someting. The rest of the screen works as intened.
After the start process the Nougat update runs and the issue is still there. While scrolling it looks like a lag, but there is no lag only these wired deadzone.
Can someone give a hint what this can be or is this a hardware issue?
I have 2 vids from the issue, but im not allowed yet to posted it here.
Thanks in advance so far.
You have dead pixels, which is not uncommon.
It is a screen issue which can be repaired by replacing the screen under warranty.
You just need to take it back to where you got an show the problem, they will either repair or replace.
I think he was refering to dead zone on digitizer. It doesn't register touch on some areas.
Type *#0*# in dialer and u will be prompted with test app, U have the display option there. Tap on it and U will figure out the rest. If it doesn't draw on that area of the screen, the digitizer isn't working and take the phone to samsung if it's under warranty.
Iam planning to buy moto g4 plus, i heared there were 2 batches with 2 types of screens LGD and BOE . please tell me how to check the screen details of this mobile. and also please tell me what should i check before and after buying this mobile as this is highly controversial model. Thans in advance
Install DevCheck System Info. Search for the 'Hardware' section, and then scrolll down till you find "Panel", it displays which screen do you have (BOE or LGD).
You shouldn't check anything else, since the only bugs of this model come from the screen (always can exist an exception, like in every smartphone).
Short story:
LGD = possible image retention (can be fixed).
BOE = possible ghost touches while it's connected to a PC/Charger (can't be fixed).
Thank you
Thank you very much ..
Sir,
I just found that my screen is an LGD . should i worry about image retention ? is it common in all devices ? (my device mfg date - september-2016).
Is there anything else should i be careful at or worry about ? please suggest..
thank you

Sir, I have a BOE display. As per your post, it can't be fixed. But will it be replaceable for free, if I go to the service centre?

Yes, it should. Since it's a manufacture fault recognized by Lenovo. Some BOE screens will never suffer from this fault, is not my case, mine has ghost touches when is conected to a PC, since the zero day, but it is not big deal for me, obviously is a clear failure and can be very annoying for these who need to use their phones conected to a PC or wall charger (in my case i never faced ghost touches while is connected to a charger).
@pinke93
In the case of the screens made by LG, the image retention can be corrected setting all the 3 RGB values to 240, you will need root for this. Some people uses a blue filter app from the PlayStore that does not requires root (i didn't test this method).
I "fixed" a normal moto G4 from a friend, with LGD screen doing the RGB value re-setting.
You should not be worried about something else, and is not a certain that it's going happen to your device.

Thank you very much. I agree with you. It's not a problem at all since I do not use my phone that much while it is charging. Moreover the turbopower technology gives me at least 80% charge in nearly 1 hour or so. But in emergency cases, say during doing a phone call, sending important messages, when the ghost touch starts popping up it is indeed really annoying. So as per your advice, I will have to go to the service centre to replace the display panel. And by the way I have rooted my device on the very first day I purchased my device.

Same here haha, i bought this device because my Nexus 5x die, that model has a terrible design failure (same as LG G4), suddenly it went turned off and never could relive it (hardware break: the welding that holds the CPU attached to the mainboard get broke). So, the ghost touch issue for me is literally nothing.

Yes. Despite packing some decent hardware, the Nexus 5X always had these problems. Even some had filed a lawsuit against google. But I don't think its entirely google's fault. It was the fault of the OEM's, and LG (for Nexus 5X) and Huawei (for Nexus 6P) faced lots of criticisms from the customers.

Thank you very much sir,
But, I dont want to root my mobile . iam not a techie ,not good at this kind of stuff, so dont want to void my warranty... as you suggested i think colour filter apps might work.
And, Incase if i get this issue in future, can i request the service center to change my display to boe ?
when i connect my earphones to moto g4 plus, its not showing any icon on status bar ( headset icon that we generally see at the top ), please tell me how to get it.
Thank you once again.

The company is bound to replace your screen under warranty
Also you wanted headphone icon in status bar
For that swipe down from top on home screen and long press on settings icon you will see it rotating then leave it. You will get a toast notification that system ui tuner ....
Then go to settings you will see a new section at bottom called system ui tuner under that you will find status bar and then you can select icon to show
Thank you @ Sobhan Bhuyan.
will try it
My Mum's Mi A1 has been acting up the last 3 months.
Phone seems to have a mind of its own. The problem seems to be with lots of ghost touches. For example, she will open contacts and then it will call someone by itself without an presses.
She says what she notices the most though is that she is unable to type anything properly. Words are all jumbled up and cursor will random move around whilst typing so you end up entering words in the middle of the sentence. This happens on the keyboard in any app and with all different keyboards..gboard, stock and swift
She is on 8.1 July patch and a factory reset has already been done.
Problem was there before the latest update too.
Can anyone help? I'm hoping a custom rom will fix it or does it sound like hardware?
Sounds like a touchscreen hardware issue to me.
Touch Interface i.e digitiser is damaged. Cover it under warranty
Or screen guard if any & test.
Take it to a service center asap
This is a hardware issue and can be fixed under warranty
I did read about there being some software issues but the phone has been reset twice now and received 2 major OTA updates and the problem is still there so pretty sure it must be hardware.
Unfortunately it was an eglobal purchase so I'm going to claim through my Nationwide mobile phone insurance to save my sanity lol
