Hi!
Just got my Moto 360 today, and overall I am very happy. However, I got this weird pixel "thing" as you get when the screen is wet in sunshine. It's really hard to explain but I took a photograph of it and circled it with a red brush. This is around the whole screen where the bezel meets the display and not just on the sides as the photo is showing. This is only noticeable while having a white or brighter background. Is this normal?
Regards,

Nothing to be concerned about, I have that also and it's the glass cut around the bezel that's causing it

That's what I thought too. I think it's really annoying. Glad it's nothing wrong with my device. Thanks for answering!

Actually never noticed it until I read your thread, the most annoying thing is after you flash a Rom you have to hard reset your watch.

Well, that sucks... What is the main benefit of rooting Moto 360 right now? I usually root to install mods and ROMs, but there is just one ROM available at this time.

I haven't rooted my 360 and never will, my phone however is rooted and that's where the problem lies, after flashing any Rom on my phone you must do a hard reset on the 360 I order to pair it. Pain in the arse
I like the effect of the edge of the glass ...works nice for some faces

I read about screem gap but i was unsure what exactly was meant. I just took a closer look and found out that there is a tiny gap between my screen and phone on top in which dirt fills in and it pisses me off. I havent dropped my screen once and if i push the top left part of my phone i can hear a sort of "click".does that make my phone faulty? Im really annoyed vy the dirt that fills in... Apart from rhat phone has no problems.

send it back. that is what i am doing. left hand side of the phone between the screen and the plastic you can see dust getting inside there to. plus if you press the left hand side tad hard you can hear it creaking as well. i called HTC to see if they could replace it for me straight away without sending it for repairs..waiting for an outcome tomorrow...if they say no i will just send it for repairs and hope they find the problem and either fix it or replace it then...i know it will drag for a week but at least that way you know one way or the other it will get fixed...
i was going to say if it does not bug you then leave it..but you sound just like me that even though the phone works fine it will bug you cause you know it is there
should i go to my provider or directly cpntact htc? And just to understand it better. Gaps are not supposed to be there, am i right?

Dont replace it as you have no other problems. Go to HTC repair center and just fix it. If you replace there may be a chance of getting more faultier one.

It amazes me some of the reasons people will find to return an otherwise perfect handset. Considering the amount of serious problems floating about this phone, I don't think a creak or 1mm gap between the bezel and screen constitutes a return. Get over it and enjoy the phone.

Ive heard that the one x was made in 2 different countrys taiwan and china... china being the worst built ones buttt I must have a really faulty dhd. I've had it for 10 months now and my screen moves, doesn't fit right on the phone as there should be a lip round it but isn't my speaker isn't straight so is sloping. Looks like the cnc machine hasn't cut it right. Power button is really recessed too far in..... I think a little sqweek is nothing to really worry about if the screen falls out then ya I'd send it back.

well that is what worries me about the whole damn thing..if it gets to hot to soon and in two months down the line the screen actually does fall out
TBH ive just checked mine and it does have a slight gap with lint building up already (bare in mind ive had this phone 2 days) Also have the yellow blotch on the screen AND a dead pixel. This is by far the best phone ive ever owned...But my word these little niggles are grating on my moobs! Ive never had to send a phone off to a repair centre before but im not really willing to put up with the problems the phone has (however ridiculously small they seem to some ) You expect some software issues in an early batch, but dead pixels, discoloured screens, gaps occuring out of nowhere between the screen, its a bit much really! Im gunna have to get it sent off soon i think, gutted!

Do you even realize how big 1mm is?!!!! Get a ruler and see please....
I doubt even a blind person could enjoy a phone with a gap big as that. You would not just see this, but also feel.
I have a gap that's about 0,1-2 mm big (measuring with paper, which is about that in average I think 0,1 till 0,3 I think but also not sure) and its around the whole screen on both sides of the ring.
Ugh...1mm...
But seriously guys, how big are the gaps it makes you return it?
I mean should I return it with 0,1 mm ? (maybe less) seen a bigger gap on SGS 2.
Hey guys I'm having a weird issue right now. I don't think it's normal (it might be), but what happens is, when there is movement on the screen, It looks like previous frames of the screen are still on. It is a very minor issue right now, (is only noticable in the app drawer with black apps), but I got the phone a week ago, and it is still under warranty, so I might as well get it fixed. (if it really is an issue).
All I did to the phone was install a custom firmware and NXT 2r1, and I think the issue might have been there before, but I'm not sure. I only really noticed it after I installed mxplayer, (because the app is like pure black).
I took a video of how it looked here (focus on the mxplayer app)-
http://youtu.be/zDPQsGG-XKg
I'm not sure if it is a problem or not, so if it is, I might as well get it fixed.
Thanks in advance.
Noticed that ages ago, it happens with the colour red too. I think it's just the display's ageing design.

Alright, so it's nothing to be worried about?
That's good to hear.
All of you are wrong (sorry if im mean here,)
Its because the Xperia play comes default with a screen protector and after a while it like Smudges with the screen and etc.. so it causes this

I have difficulties believing that: Somehow, a relatively outdated LED screen that has a noticeable delay when cycling between certain colours seems more believable than a vinyl screen protector and its mystery oil that selectively disperses a screen's light even when they're no longer in contact with said screen. What makes you think it's this "oil"?

I got my note 4 days ago. At first everything was ok, but yesterday I noticed my device is terribly creaking. Almost every time I touch the back it sounds like the plastic would break a little bit (Although I don't think it would actually break).
Do you have the same issues? Or should I sent it back and get a new one, since it's really annoying me...?
Thank you )

Mine creaks a little in the bottom right corner. Everything else is fine. I think it's the plastic back giving a bit. I had this on the Nexus 10 as well.

Yes, When I held the tablet with my left hand to touch the screen with my right it creaked like a rock band with bad music! Geeish.....the silver chrome or whatever the material is wasn't tight and it just bend. I returned it right away. I really didn't want to return it. However, I paid full price and not second hand money so I expect the performance to be right, that means no noise. When listening to music or watching a movie it seems as if someone was moving around and that can be pretty annoying. I tried holding it different ways with no change. So back it went. Let Samsung sell. This I know imagine you trying to sell it to the next person, what do you think they might say and how much will the value go down?

Yes, As soon as I opened the package, I noticed the bottom right hand corner was creaking an popping. It is not like I was looking for it. That made me investigate if the rest of the trim was doing the same. If you put your mind into into it, you can get some creaking from other ends of the trim but nothing like the bottom right hand corner. Every time I pick it up, it is annoying me so much that I feel I should take it back. I am not sure the guys at PCWorld would accept this as a reason for full money back or replacement claim. I do like the tablet, but do not want a noisy plastic in my hands.
Is this enough of a reason to ask for a replacement?

Sadly I dont think it is (pure guess so dont take my word for it) BUT I can 100% say that your Tablet will have a little bit of lightbleed along the bottom and sides....this alone is a good enough reason for them to accept and exchange - Good luck.

Put screen britghness to 100% and open this http://www.net-tracker.net/android/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/black_bg_1024x768.png, make sure it covers the entire screen inc notifications part and then switch off your lights in your room and you will then see light bleed, Its nothing major and common on LCD'S but it is a valid reason for a return/exchange.
I had lightbleeding on my first note but I found it to be acceptable however on my 2nd tablet I found the bleeding to be excessive and off putting so I got a refund from John Lewis,
Anyways this thread should give you an idea too - best of luck :good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554094

If your one is not creaking then this definitely should be a rightful exchange claim for all those unfortunate to pick up badly put together tablets.
I am even considering getting my money back and going the Apple way. Excellent build quality, and I know that because I got some for the kids.
yeah maybe idk. Sammy is also known for build issues lately so you have to really inspect before you take home. The Note 3 home button is all wonky and wobbly on a lot of units.

Sorry for the question, but what is "idk" in your post?
Having a creaking case, would that get worse in terms of speading all around the tablet's trim?
Any experiences but no guesses please!

"IDK" means "I Dont Know".
I guess if the creaking was coming from say a loose glass to the digitizer i think it could be something that spreads. Since if the glass isn't glued down well enough i could see slight dust getting in there and causing more separation over time. I doubt this is the case as you'd see bubbling at the edges if that was happening.
I noticed a tiny black dot yesterday and it really started to bother me so I decided to take a closer look at it and I feel it is under the pixels (if that's possible) I feel like the black dot is deeper in to the device than the colour on the screen.
Has anyone got dust trapped under the display? And did you fix it?
I can't really get a new one since I bought this in Portugal and I live in Colombia.

If thats the case I would say its a dead pixel, If you haven't had it apart it's pretty hard to get dust in there. RMA for a new one.

Yea, that's what I thought but I bought it from a retailer in Portugal, and that's 8000 km away from where I live now. I was hoping there is a way to fix it, my TV had a stuck pixel (always red) and by pressing and "massaging" the screen solved the problem.
Hi All,
This spot appeared out of nowhere the other day.
Is it water? Is the glue under the screen coming off?
There is no crack or anything.
What do you guys think it is?

Same happened to me on my OnePlus One, I figured it was from a really tight case that I had on it, taking it on and off, starting from the same corner. Mine was glass separating from digitizer..... It never effected the touch/screen function, but was terribly annoying.
I eventually replaced the screen and digitizer all in one piece. ( After a drop and screen smash)
Wonder if the 5t is built on same "layers" as the one.
Bummer.
