hey guys, when i used the dead pixel test, i could see a white dot which would show red blue and green colors on different viewing angles. I dont know if its a stuck or dead pixel. And also can it be fixed?
Thanks
No cure for dead pixels. Live with it or return it.
If it's dead it will just be black

Anyone else experienced dead pixels? Looks like I have a couple dead in one spot or at least one color is. On solid white shows light blue.

Dead. Call att/samsung
Yay no more fc
Sounds liek a stuck pixel rather than a dead one to me, I thought if they were dead they'd be black. Are there any apps in the market that will quickly flash different colors on the screen in an attempt to unstick them? That worked on my iphone before. Also what I've done in the past is put slight pressure with your finger on the screen where the pixels are, sometimes that will make them go back to normal.
Dead is black, stuck is green/red/blue.

There's a free app called Color Flashlight
Does seem that the blue and green work but red does not in that spot. Will contact samsung later to see what they say...

Do you have any dead pixels, because i spotted about 4 in my opb, three are nearly visible. I wanted to know do you have some experience in fixing these kind of problems and does a guarantee cover it up?
You can't fix the dead pixels. You need to replace the display. I think guarantee cover dead pixels problems, and in your case, 4 dead pixels . Good luck!
I bought mi o.b. and i spotted in the dirst night a dead pixel, they cahenged the phone right away, and i live in Romania..
yeah, above is best advice, but if it's a SH, phone, from my experience you can unblock dead pixels ....
On tv and monitors, a gentle massage gets things going sometimes.. too bad that on phones screen is protected under a glass sheet!
I have one bad pixel too. It is visible at white screen.
Hi Guys,
After hearing so much problems with the Note screen, I had another good look of mine tonight and found these weird looking white lines/dots at the bottom left of my screen.
Are these dead pixels or stuff underneath the screen?
HELP Please.....might have to get an exchange with handtec...so much hassles....
Those look like stuck pixels to me.

You have taken a pic with the default scratch guard on just remove and slightly clean the screen and see if it goes away, but most probably its 2 dead pixels, mine 1st one had 1. Quality issues with samsung !

I'm pretty sure it's not between the screen and the default protector....where did you buy yours from?
Seriously...I'm very disappointed with Samsung now....I mean, I have heard many people having problems with their screens, but never thought I would get one of them defected ones....
Looks like dead/stuck pixels I'm afraid.
Can you get a macro shot? It's kind of hard to tell without a closer view. When I've had stuck/dead pixels in the past, they've always been very discrete, tiny dots without any haze or blur, which it looks like yours has. I also wonder if it's something to do with the screen protection film. When you do a macro shot will you lift it and clean the screen?
Here....I have lifted up the screen protector....I didn't take off the screen protector was because maybe if I didn't handtec might exchange me the phone quicker....but what the heck...I need to be sure anyways...so here are the pictures.
Man.....so much trouble for this phone....very disappointed with the build quality of the screen now....
Now I will have to wait for a while to get my exchanged new phone ....
Any ideas how long it might take? I read on handtec that if the item is returned after 10 days...it will go under warranty and so does that mean they won't exchange my phone straight away??? Anyone got any experience with them??

nuh...I have tried to count them...there are a least 4 dots plus a line....very strange....they are also bright green instead of being white.....can't see them with the black background....
Shows you how bad of quality the phone I got....
I am very surprised I have not noticed them before.
Just found out online...there is a difference between stuck and dead pixels, and apparently stuck pixels can possibly be fixed yourself...might give it a try....
nuh...none of the apps seem to work
Been using JScreenFix for the phone for about half a day....just flashing the screen.....
I think the pixels have gotten a bit darker......don't know if it's my eyes playing tricks on me or not....but will continue to flash the screen for the rest of the day and then check it again tonight....hopefully then will be gone
The thing I don't really get is why the green dots (more than 3 of them) would only appear on Green, White and Grey backgrounds, and not appear on the Red, Blue and Black Backgrounds.....Anyone got any ideas?
because every colour of the spectrum uses green except for red, blue and some combination of red blue
black is when the screen is off

Hi there. I just bought the Note few days ago and I can confirm that I have the EXACT problem as yours. Except mine is just a dot. It's like a pixel that seems to be the only brighter pixel when the screen displays full green, white or grey background (specifically used the LCD test *#0*# & Burn-In Tester Pro app).
I assume that it is a stuck or a hot pixel simply because.. it lights up. Unlike dead pixel is like.. a dead bulb/pixel (Assumptions. HEHE.)
Actually on the day that I bought the Galaxy Note, I was really careful. I even dialed the *#0*# LCD TEST at the shop to look out for screen defects. It was FLAWLESS. So I bought it. And I have this habit to look out for defects even after purchase, so I always go to the LCD Test and Burn-In Tester Pro app to check, and is still perfect.
Not until, last night, I dialed *#0*# and hit "Black (Vibrate)" with the intention to check for the "blemishes/blobs" in a totally dark room. It was only apparent after my eyes had adjusted to the darkness and I do see the not so obvious blobs. So after noticing that, it didn't bother me so I happily watched an Blu-Ray quality video (Despicable Me) and that's when I noticed the BRIGHT pixel which I assume it to be a STUCK/HOT pixel. I hope it is just a stuck pixel which hopefully can be fixed over time. Don't know about hot pixels..
Right now I'm playing a Full HD video of a downloaded YouTube video called Pixel Fix, on loop, with Video Brightness set to full. My instinct says to try it out but i do know that after awhile, since it's an AMOLED technology, colors could be darker over time as the pixels slowly 'burn-out'.
AND if it doesn't work, I might try to turn off the phone and leave it somewhere really cool/chilled. And switch it on after awhile when it reaches room temperature. I read it somewhere that it works to remove stuck pixels. They put their phones in a fridge in a wrapping and they said it worked. I forgot though where I read it from.
Oh, it's this one --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21025093
Someone managed to fix a dead pixel. Hmm, but it's a phone with an LCD screen. Nyeh.
Good luck to us. Man, it was only few days ago when I bought the Note. *sniffs*
Seems quiet here. Seems like not many people have or aware of this bright spot defect.
But I found this which seems to concern about the matter. http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/7955151.html
I guess it gives some idea of what it really is. Cheers.
And I am gonna let this 'problem' go this time cos it's so small but I do hope that it won't get any worse. Or if it fixes itself that would be a miracle

Noticed today that my one has one stuck green pixel and one dead black pixel within about 1/8 inch to each other..... Kind of sad becaus i purchased the phone from kijiji and have no warranty...

Just wondering, isn't it terrible difficult to notice the state of one pixel on a 1080p 4.7" display? Isn't it a group of pixels?
I opened up a brand new 32gb T-Mobile M7 and saw these marks, not sure if dead or stuck pixels as they only show with light colors (most prevalent in white)
It's the pair of dots that almost look like a distant light reflection, bottom right corner of the screen, each cluster is nearly a mm in dia
They almost look like nicks in the between the touch panel and lcd
When i got the phone 3 weeks ago i noticed one green pixel on the screen cursed my luck and promptly forgot about it. I only remembered last week and checked and its gone. So it obviously wasn't "dead" at all just stuck. I never ran any program to get rid of it or anything
I went through twelve units (not only because of screen issues) and for me one thing is certain: There is no ONE without pixel defects. Just depends on your surroundings if you see them and how closely you're gonna look for them. This one has four green ones visible on black backgrounds. If you watch closely you can see the area around them flickering in every color. But I keep it since it's the best one and those pixels are rarely ever visible under normal circumstances.
I bet mine has also dead pixels. But take a look at the pixel density, what would a dead pixel matter?

I was just as pessimistic as you, regarding getting a screen with no pixel defects. Fortunately, I did swap my One out and this one has zero stuck or dead pixels (used a pixel testing app in complete dark -- believe I'm OCD and looked extremely close to the point that my GF was questioning my sanity). So getting a good panel is, indeed, possible.
BUT, this handset does have a hot pixel on the camera sensor. Go figure...
I seem to have a dead pixel on my S3C its in the middle of the screen, most noticeable when viewing a white page or backdrop. Anyone know whats the return policy of the S3C to dead pixels?
Screenshots?

Screenshot I took shows zero dead pixel on my computer screen... but I can definitely see a small white dot on a yellow or green screen. On black there is nothing there. Could be dust but then it woudnt show as a white dot on a yellow or green screen...
Dead pixels don't show in screenshots lol

Same here, one dead pixel is visible on light backgrounds. After returning 2 nexus 5 half year ago (first one had 3 dead pixels, another like 20) I'm not sure it bothers me enough, probably I'll keep it this time.
