there is a huge black dot on screen of my motoactv and is getting bigger every time I use the device. Is this normal?

I have not seen this black dot. My display is clear all the time. Does this happen when you are at the end of screen selection? if you are seeing this while at the end of the left or right of the main screen. This is normal , to let you know there in no more selection. Hope this helps

It is water damage. There is a class action lawsuit against Motorola for this.

That never happened to me... Restart and if still there, claim your warranty

This problem normally occurs if u connect it to a gps screen with a video input which is powered by a cigarette power socket. If that's the case, u have to change the power socket wires to thicker ones.

my screen seems to have a glossy finish to it in the off position. Sometimes I might not get the clearest picture due to the equipment by my service provider. I have noticed the picture would get choppy from time to time due to the signal.

I recommend you change the screen including the digitizer. I had a similar problem with an Nexus 4 and resolved of this way.

I dont think you can really visualize that though. I'm guessing that the location is constantly being updated in your system but the screen/map might not reflect that. Also i think it depends on your resolution and the aspect of your current screen (ie, how detailed is the map being shown, is it in a street view or is it in a city view, etc). It wouldn't make sense if you are in a "zoomed-out" view and your car icon is constantly (2,3 times in a second) being refreshed and moves. Unless you are driving at like 200mph or using your GPS on an airplane...

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

I just took delivery on one from Amazon, a BRV46 and in any picture mode it looks like I am watching throw a window screen. I am not sure if this is the vaunted "mura" or "clouding issue". But I am not happy.My house is a little cold today, which could be a factor. But I must just return it and swap in a Panasonic plasma for about 1/3 the price.

I agree it is very dark or dim when I have it plugged in. If I unplug it the screen is very bright. Will contact garmin to see why. Also volume is very low

I have not experienced this affect to my screen. I've had it for more than a year now.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried changing resolution, using Quicktime and Real Player and get the same results.

On mine, what is "normal" is that there are black LCD segment digits on a blue background for about 15 seconds. IMO, seeing nothing at all on the display is not normal.

Shouldn't be the screen causing this. Maybe the antenna connection needs to be checked? Mine worked great! Good luck.

There is a long lag time in the auto mode. That is the only mode I have used.

Yes, on my approx 5 year old SD870 Elph. Black spot grew from pinprick to 1/3 of the screen over about 6 months. Doesn't show up on pictures, but makes it hard to see what's on the screen. Screen is losing pixels or something.

You may be viewing in the full-screen mode which distorts things. Try using a different setting like actual size I believe.

Hi Charlene, I too experienced the very same issues you mention. For me, I noticed that the biggest cause for the lag/freezing was MotoBlur. Even if you dont use it, it is constantly sucking up resources. You will have to do a factory reset (make sure you back up your contacts and pics/videos prior!) and when you start your phone again, SKIP signing up to MotoBlur by pressing the menu "button" (the one left of the home button) and choose to skip-then continue as normal. 2. once you see the home screen, go to apps and open up task manager. Whatever apps you see running and dont need constantly "on" (like youtube, media share, maps etc.) simply add to auto-end by checking the box and choosing auto-end. This will help you free up some precious RAM. 3. Install a custom launcher. I use ADW launcher but you can try and install different launchers and experiment to see what works and looks best for you. I now have a very clean and attractive interface without lag and have been freeze-free since. Other tips which helped me: Avoid using a live wallaper, theyre pretty but also a drain on resources. Dont allow apps to auto-update Do not update the music player. Do not use "panoramic-camera" apps Do not keep huge logs of your sms, this stuff can get cluttered especially if you send/recieve a lot of pics. Avoid the Skype app. Enable data but not backround data (settings --&gt; battery & data manager ---&gt;data delivery) this will keep whatever apps you install from constantly running without your input. I hope this helps :)

This also happens if you put ANYTHING into the hot shoe - such as a bubble level.The delay is activated, the flash icon no longer shows, and the LCD is not responsive to exposure changes!Ed
