Anyone here has dead pixels? Or had and managed to exchange their device?
Mine is completely free of dead pixels, but from what I've seen I get the impression dead or 'stuck' pixels are not as common in AMOLED screens.
I've been very lucky with my gadgets however. Apart from 2 dead pixels on my PSP-1000 and a stuck one on my PSPgo (PSPs have an extreme case of them), I've never had a dead or stuck pixel on any other screen I've had such as monitors, TVs, phones, laptops, iPad, DS, etc. I count myself very fortunate considering the number of complaints I see online.
If you have a dead pixel (pixel is permanently black) or stuck pixel (pixel is stuck lit up on white, red, green or blue), you may be able to exchange it soon after buying it. Some places have a limit of a minimum number of stuck/dead pixels before they'll issue a replacement however.

Only had the phone for a few weeks. I see one minor blue dead pixel. Kinda of hard to notice but my OCD caught it.
Anyone else experience dead pixels?
So because I have one does that mean that more will come? :O
Guess I'm the only one?
I've had one dead pixel but I don't even notice it anymore. Maybe that pixel was reborn lol.
If you're lucky you might be able to return it and get a replacement.
blue blue pixel isn't a deal pixel but a stuck pixel

Download jscteenfix from the market. It may help get your pixel unstuck. Good luck!

Sweet; I'll try it out.
I don't have any dead pixels, but I have a minor screen defect that is similar to what a stuck pixel looks like, but it is only visible from certain angles and under certain lighting conditions, so I decided to live with it. It kind of looks like the distortion that happens when a drop of water gets on a screen, but only about the size of a pixel.
Hi! I have a question about should I be worried or not. Phone is two days old, and I have noticed, when I turn off the display, one pixel shows for a microsecond (it just lights up for a sec) on a black screen. I taught that may be some "dead" pixel, but examining the display with dead pixel app, there is none. Just that one little pixel when turning off display.
Should I be worried?
Thnx!
I would say no. Unless you're a paranoid and you think your phone could explode, you don't have to worry about it if you still have your warranty though, you can ask for a replacement
Try a couple different dead pixel apps, and if it passes on multiple apps then you have nothing to worry about...

Thnx! No dead pixels on any app. I noticed that sometimes on my boyfriends sgs+ also multiple pixels light up on turning the display off. So it must be that samoled reacts that way sometimes...
Can you run Dead Pixel Tester app in a dark room and check for any.

My first unit head a stuck green pixel. Swapped it out and got a handset with zero stuck or dead pixels.
The new handset does have a hot pixel on the camera sensor, however, but I might just live with that since it only shows up in low light shots and is located at the edge of the photo.
No dead pixels. No stuck pixels.

Hot pixels tend to disappear through time anyways same with stuck pixels. The one we should be worried about are the real dead pixels.
People tend to mistook stuck pixels with dead pixels.
Dead Pixels = Always black in color
Stuck Pixels = usually not the same color as the other pixels(Sometimes it's changing colors rapidly)
But they just fix themselves through time.
I had a dead pixel on my developer edition :-/ sending it back.

Really? I didn't know that hot pixels (camera sensor) can fix themselves. I was always under the impression that these get "mapped out" at the factory, but then other hot pixels can develop after the fact. I do recall that my Nikon D300 developed a hot pixel, however I haven't checked to see if it's gone.
Hey guys, I just got a replacement of my One (previous one had capacitative buttons' light leaking out of the rightmost bottom part). I just noticed that I have a stuck pixel in here (white) and but not black (which means it's dead, right?). So I was thinking to get a replacement again, but I'm afraid that the other one may have more stuck / dead pixels than this one, because I've read people complaining about multiple pixel problems. So, what do you guys say? Should I get a replacement or just wait for the pixel to un-stuck itself?
The only thing that irks me is that it's in the middle of the whole screen.
*BUMP*
Anyone?
There's a few apps that help with stuck pixels, they just flash the screen multiple colors until the pixel fires correctly.
I had 3 stuck pixels when I got this phone but within a week they fixed themselves

I have about 6 dead/stuck pixels. Tried the apps for a hour, i just requested a new device. Waiting for htc to send me another one before i ship mine back

I did use this app, the impact of the stuck pixel have seemed to be lowered (ran the app 3 times for 30 minutes) as compared to before. But it didn't vanish completely.
Ignore it... I had my HTC One for 2 months now and when I got it there was no stuck pixels... Then within the 2 months usage stuck pixel are popping out and just disappearing within days of ignoring it. Some last for weeks but they all eventually disappeared. I only have 1 stuck pixel now on my unit where somewhere within the 1st month it manage to produce up to 6 stuck pixels.
Wow. I was just thanking my stars a couple days ago that my One was perfect. No gaps in the corners, no dead pixels, no faulty camera, no nothing. But it bricked and now I'm gonna have to get a replacement. Hope my luck holds out.

Just for the clarification; was it a white pixel? And if you increase the brightness of the screen, the brightness of the stuck pixel also increases?
Yes it is white sometimes changing color constantly I know what stuck, hot and dead pixels are
And by the way it's not noticeable on lowest brightness so yeah it's visible only on high brightness

Thanks a bunch, you saved me from getting my second replacement. I was just clarifying my concept of stuck pixel, and not judging your knowledge.
Oh yeah, and what was the average period they got fixed by themselves? How many days / weeks?
Like I said it's random... Only those I've noticed is 4days, 9 days and the longest was I think 5 weeks I always noticed the 5 weeks because it seems like 2 pixels got stuck which is side by side to each other so it created a much brighter white. But it got fixed by itself in 5 weeks estimate. Not sure how it got fixed though probably the constant video playback(I'm an anime junky) or must have cured itself because I'm always setting brightness to the lowest level.
If pixel fixers which changes color everytime does indeed fix these issues then I'm pretty sure it got fixed because of the video playback... Watching anime videos for 4 hours a day sometimes 8 on weekends is an overkill for constant color shifts.

Did you ever try pixel fixer? And that anime stuff is very interesting (changing colors). I used pixel curer for like 80+ minutes on my phone but the pixel doesn't even change itself from white or I think I might not be able to notice as it is so small.
Thanks for all the help, I am limited to 8 thanks / day, so as soon as 24 hours pass on, I'll thank you for all your posts.

80minutes is nothing compared to mine... When I watch an anime you can compare it to running pixel fixer for 4 hours a day And like I said it get's fixed in days or even weeks.
So running 80minutes of pixel fixer is not even comparable to what I do on my phone
xperia e stuck piel
I recently got an xperia e on orange pay as you go from my local carphone warehouse. Last night i noticed a blue/white spot on the screen. After looking at the screen closely more smailer specs appear when you tilt the device around but this one stays visible throughout. They are especially visible in the dark but not so much in sunlight. Another thing to note is that it only appears on dark backgrounds e.g. black.
I have tried a stuck pixel fixer for about half an hour but to no avail.
Since its only a few days old i thought i could return it to carphone warehouse but dose anyone have experience of doing this. I know, because i got my phone on orange, that i can not just replace it for no reason. However i would like to know would they try to fob me off by saying that they can't see them or saying there needs to be more of them to warrant a return. There are a few other things i could say to get a return. For example the proximity sensor does not work in the diagnostics app and there is "no signal" at my house Its hard to get a picture of it otherwise i would've included one.
So really my question is should i try and return it (in the uk we have pretty strong consumer laws (the sale of goods act)) or should I just ignore it and run the flashing light show for longer.
Thanks
James
I though i had a white stuck pixel on my notification bar, i took a screen shot, and it appears on the image, so it appears it is part of the stock htc one wallpaper. :laugh:
John.
My wife has a Note 8 that she uses quite a bit. It's her primary internet device. She's had it since the beginning of October and already has burnin on her screen. It is a darker horizontal lines about 1/5 of the way down the screen and probably corresponds to a calendar or email widget that she has on the screen.
I know that there have been reports of navigation bar burnin, but she doesn't have that.
She came from a Note 4 and that thing had a massive amount of burnin.
This phone is two months old. I feel like for the money, it should last longer than two months without burnin.
Anyone else have this? Is it even worth bringing it to a Verizon store?
I have a Note 8 as well, but no burnin. But then I don't use my phone like she does hers.

That's amoled screens for you... however I've never had burn in either on any Sammy oled device, had this Note8 since release date and it's fine.(as with all other Sammy oleds)
But don't think device is the problem it's how you use it like you said her note 4 was the same... Both are amoled screens,
My suggestion is either swap it for a phone that's not amoled or get rid of those damn widgets/theme the device so all the screen is being used / not used :laugh: if you had say a black wallpaper and white widgets on your screen , half the screen is actually turned off (where the black wallpaper shows).
Brightness levels and screen timeout times also would be worth changing
But sounds like the damage has already been done
I wonder if it could be a warranty claim or at least a screen replacement claim.
Wouldn't hurt to take it to the store and ask. Or chat with Samsing support online and ask them. Send them pictures of the burn-in. Samsung replaced a Galaxy Nexus I bought used back in the day that had really bad burn-in.
