Motorola Edge Plusowners are taking to forums to voice concerns over display issues that have manifested after a recent software update in early June.

Edge Plus users complained on Motorolaforumsthat the edges of their screens became tinted a greenish gray. Otherphotosalso showed darkened spots and even entire displays turned a green hue. Here’s an example one userposted:

Motorola rushed out a software fix, though some users reported that the issues persisted, even after replacing the phone (a forum adminrecommendedusers swap out their Edge Plus devices if the greening didn’t go away in a day or two).

If the software update (located in Settings > System Updates) doesn’t fix the issue, Motorola advises users to contact the Motorola Support Team for individual actions. For now, this seems like a limited problem, but given the forumthreadis nine pages long at the time of this writing, it doesn’t seem like an exceedingly rare issue.
