My Razrs screen has a slight flickering on gray screens such as the loading screen in the market, and bright whites. Is this normal, or did i get one with a bad screen?
I'd call vzw. I don't see any type of flicker at all.

I agree. My screen is flawless, and I have never seen flicker of any sort. Get that Razr to the store and get it replaced stat!
I am really amazed and in awe of my Razr. It is everything I have wanted in a phone, and much more. I was a huge fan of the OG Razr series as well. That phone was way ahead of its time.

I has got the same trouble. I will take tomorrow in the store for a change. I have a little clouding in dark screen on bottom left corner

Vzw exchanged mine with no hassle. New one is good, no screen flicker
how did you prove to them it was flickering? Mine has started doing this randomly... doesnt seem linked to any app etc... just flickers on boot or while in CWM....

Ii just traded my epic touch and got this phone plus 2 otterbox's and 100 bucks and hdmi cable. Problem is on a bright white screen I can see these black almost invisible shadows near the middle of the screen that won't go away or change shape. Anyone know what this is?
I believe its The back lights, they are on both of my photons but only can see them when the sun is shining on the screen

This is pretty much all the time that I can see them, I have to look for them, but not too hard. It's like a shadow shade type look.
Mine looks like a checkerboard across the whole screen

thats the pentile display lol. mine is shaped random, like an amoeba
Does it change at all when you adjust the screen brightness.
it looks pretty much the same. doesnt change shape.
Are you within the exchange period?

"amoeba" LOL... reminds me of that live wallpaper that was going around with the microscope image of sperm swimming around on the screen.
I bought the phone off of a person, so I doubt it. Lol yeah amoeba.
I fixed the screen issue,

I had a problem
My first photon had a light patch a splotchy patch on the left side of the phone, I returned it and got a new one, no light splotchy patch any more.
The pentile screens are great, crisp, sharp, real colors, great for viewing outdoors and use less power.
If you set your photons 4g display to AUTO BRIGTHNESS, you will not see any screen door effect, if you use the phone on mid to higher brightness you will, Auto brightness is truly the best setting for these displays.
No issues with my second unit, others comment on how good the screen looks, one of them has an i phone.
On most phones auto brightness is not your friend, on the photon it is definitely the setting to use.
Not to be off topic, but my screen doesn't look like a checkerboard when its Otterbox Defender.

Apparently the pre release models are having lag and also when setting screen on low will make the screen look green. Is everyone.else getting this?

I ordered mine on Friday and received it today. I notice a slight tint as well but this phone is ninja fast.
Mine is plenty fast as well but they didn't have any razors on display for me to look at another razor's color. Def will check out tomorrow asap

No tint here just brilliant vibrant colors
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
On Facebook, a couple of users posted they DO have the tint when the phone is ser on low brightness. Others said they don't have anything like that.
Its a bit of a confusion out there. Some have it, some don't...phew...
No lag at all for me. No tint either and I'm on auto/low brightness.
If it means anything my first razr the colors went whack while I was watching a movie. The blacks went purple and the brightness was permanently set to the Max. Tried a reset, blah blah but it was a defective screen. New one looks beautiful tho!!

Wow, is this a fun, beautiful phone.
Curious to who I know around here. Any x2/bionic peeps around? Curious to all of your thoughts on this phone and if any of you here are cheesecaking.
I must admit, I think I like this better than the Nex. Additionally, Moto made some very nice improvements to their interface (*blur*) on a lot of different levels.
Anyways, just saying hello to all of you. Let's keep this forum alive.
Cheers.

Hey 'Wolfe. Glad to see you here. I made the jump from the x2 (wife needed a working phone & I needed a new toy) the day this came out. So far, it's been a great experience & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Glad you're on board.

I don't use hotspots so I haven't experienced this, but I do know I don't lose apps after a reboot
So far mobile connection seems far superior, as does performance. Also, huge fan of the screen, although I do get kind of a greenish tint at times where I feel it should be white - market hang screen for example.

It is great mobile. Am coming from nexus s after i broker the glass :'(.. So o designed to take this mobile over samsung s2

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand the trade-off bit...apologies...but when I saw it once, I was looking for a faaaaar brighter screen, considering the fact that its a sAMOLED...but I found it a little dark...but was told in some forum its because of some ambient setting...will make sure to check it next time properly...
But am surely buying it for sure...in a while... Congrats on your phone BTW.

Hope to see you here soon, this really has been an impressive improvement on Motorola's part. As far as the screen goes there's an additional option to allow the os to manage auto brightness to conserve battery. Net effect: it's about 25% dimmer at times than just "normal" auto brightness.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I believe the dimmer look is attributed to the AMOLED screen. What I was saying as far as a "trade-off" is that I'll take a slightly dimmer screen to get a less pentile effect. This screen looks much nicer than the Bionic in my opinion...
I just "upgraded " from the nexus to the razr and I am absolutely loving it. The nexus' radio was awful. This phone is just so much more solid overall.

Got this phone a week back! Totally loving it. My old Xperia X8 was almost driving me nuts! Already rooted and safestrapped!
So how's your RAZR experience?
Hi has anyone had a problem with the screen on there RAZR where in a dark black room and you watch a video for example and you get to a black screen there are black spots all over the display and screen leakage on top of where the capacitive buttons are.
I have had two razrs because of this in a week I can't stand it and I just called verizon today and they said that there is nothing wrong with the phone like they don't believe me but I don't think they went into a dark room to really test this issue.
Just want to see if anybody has had this issue and what can be done to possibly show verizon proof that I am not lying about the screen on the phones they have given me.
Thanks

Thanks for the response it is appreciated but for the newbie stuff I am not a newbie to xda and searched what I could but as I am on a phone with no computer available the search function sucks and I didn't find one answer so again thanks for your help this issues annoys me it might not be big to others but for me it is I came from a sensation never had this issue I have also had a evo 4g, a desire, a Samsung intercept no such issue and screen quality is a big deal for me I just needed an answer

I posted the same question thread and it got locked down because it is a known quantity however I find it to be sloppy craftsmanship.
That being said, I accepted it and it does not bother me one bit.
MAXX
I have noticed it on my Maxx too, but I have only ever seen it while playing one particular game when the screen is really dark. Other than that, you can't see it at all, so it doesn't bother me.

It's a minor issue and imo not worth making a big fuss over. Overall the razr is a very high quality device. Great hardware, and software (although updates can be slow to push) we will be receiving JB.

To me it is unacceptable I got a new phone worth a defect would you buy a laptop with screen issues I wouldn't so this isn't good to me at all.
So I went into Verizon told them about my issue talked to someone on the phone found out I was in my 14 days still and Gabe it back can't have this problem but one good thing came from it I now game a RAZR M and it is beautiful without the screen issue also thanks for everybody helping and enjoy your RAZR it is a good phone but not for me with the screen issue on two different new phones.
By the easy RAZR M is a great step up in my opinion same size screen better quality screen though (even though technically it is the same) and fast.
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
You will probably have the same.issues with the RAZR M. It's not a defect per say, it's just something that happens with this type of screen, which the RAZR M also uses.

I don't think the M or the HD's will have this issue. They are using different screens.
I really am surprised Motorola released the RAZR with this issue.
So I noticed on my droid sms if I turn my auto brightness off and keep my screen on the brighter side and tilt the phone a certain way I see a green dot. When I til it to the right I see green, then red. The other way I see red then green. Straight on and if I tilt the top of the phone towards me the dot is no longer visible. I doubt its a stuck pixel due to how it acts. It is NOT visible on black or any other color from normal viewing angles. I saw a similar effect on my Razr HD when I had an otterbox on it due to a weird texture on the screen protector. Thanks for any help!

Do you have a case that is putting pressure on the back of the phone. Dots appearing are usually from pressure being pushed on the back of the phone.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I have the seidio surface case, but its literally like the size of a pixel. Its there without the case on as well. I remember seeing someone post about the HTC One having a similar problem and came to the conclusion it was an abnormality under the glass in the glue or something. I have a TINY piece of dirt under the digitizer as well but every other DNA I have owned had multiple dead and stuck pixels, horrible capacitive button bleed, backlight bleed, or extreme uneven backlighting. Most of these were a combination of pixels and backlight. So I'm keeping this one, just wondering if anyone else noticed this.

Nvm? I just find it odd it disappears at normal viewing angles. On my 32" from a few years ago I have a stuck green sub pixel and its only visible if I look directly at the screen head on. It wouldn't only appear at an angle if it was a stuck pixel, right? It also seems when I use Auto Brightness it is almost impossible to find, even at an angle. Its still there just need to use shaper angles. Its also a LOT dimmer than say, at 50-100% in the dark. During the day its almost not there when the screen gets brighter. In the sun it looks like there might be something above the spot but I'm not sure. Anyone else having this issue? It took me almost a week to find it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I didn't read your entire post.
Anyway, the pixels are so close together I can't imagine it being too noticeable. If you can see the green pixel at a certain brightness keep it at that brightness and run a dead pixel fixer.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Well its not thay I see a green pixel. When I look at the screen normally its not there at all, at any brightness. If I tilt it away from me and to the left or right the dot becomes visible. To the right its green and then red if I tilt it farther. If I tilt it to the left it goes from red to green. They aren't bright. I had a DNA with a stuck green pixel and a stuck red one and this definitely isn't a stuck pixel. If it is, its news to me. They were obvious on everything. This one can't be seen unless I view my phone from an angle.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Edit 2: I don't recommend it but you can rub the screen with the cap of a sharpee wrapped in something soft. This can damage the screen, so its up to you to try. I wouldn't worry about it if you can't see it during normal usage though.
Edit: you'll obviously have to rub kind of hard but use your best judgement.

Just checked all the colors. No black dots on any color, no stuck or dead pixels show up, until on gray or black at an uncomfortably odd angle this odd spot shows
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I don't think its a problem unless your usually looking at your phone at an odd angle. If it really bothers you, you can always try to get a warranty replacement, but I severely doubt they would replace your phone for one broken pixel.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah, plus I'm 99.9% sure its not broken or stuck... Again because it works on all colors like it should. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this odd occurrence.
