Moto G 2015 model scrolling/screen sensitivity
Jmac-25
29-06-2016
I've just bought a 3rd Gen Moto G, running MM, and I can't scroll though anything without opening links and 'liking' things - the screen is hugely jerky and oversensitive (particularly compared to the 1st Gen, which still works like a dream). I've set touch delay to long and decreased the mouse pointer speed but its made no difference. Is this a known issue or have I just got a bad unit? About to send it back.

Try this app to see what results you get: Touchscreen Calibration

I've got a 1st Gen Moto G and passed all the tests with 98% - 100% results.

If that doesn't help then you could try a factory reset. If still no improvement then I would send it back.

Hi ya,
yes it is known about quite a few haveing problems....I have been in touch with motorola over this and notification sound problems but they aint bothered...all excuses...just keep telling to do a default settings....then works ok for a few days then back the same. I like motorola phones but mine is the last straw.
Looking for another brand know.

I've got a third gen Moto G as well, never had an issue with the screen and ran the above test to make sure, scoring 100% on majority of tests. Only two of them scored 98%.

Thanks. I used the app, 97% -100%. But it's clearly not right - next to my 2013 moto g and my Nexus 7 tablet it's pretty much unusable. It's just crazy - a light attempt to scroll down makes the screen zip past at a thousand miles an hour and if you touch a link or photo it just opens them.

Wow - I took the glass screen protector off and it seems to have fixed it. Strange.

Still think I might send it back - for me it's a tad too big. It's a struggle to use it one handed, my fingers won't access all the keyboard easily. Or maybe I've just got freakishly small hands.

Does anyone recommend getting the Moto G 3rd Gen?

I've currently got one at the moment, though I'm in the process of moving to a a new device. The best part of it for me is the camera, it's excellent, in fact I believe it's the same camera sensor found on the much more expensive Nexus 6. Battery life is average, a lot of heavy tasks will drain it quicker but you could probably get through with a day of light usage. Just make sure to get the one with 2GB of RAM.

I haven't had the screen issues others have had so maybe I've been lucky
