Note that you are not manually setting the background color of the
button. You are manually setting a color filter on the background of
the button.

If I had to guess, Motorola modified some resource that you are
explicitly or implicitly relying upon. You may want to copy the
standard button background out of the SDK and into your project, then
use that for your buttons (e.g., via a theme).
