Stuck red pixel showed up after 2 weeks on TILT

I bought my tilt 2 weeks ago with flawless screen. 3 days ago a red pixel showed up. I played a video for a while and i see the red pixel blinking from dark red to bright red.
Then after a few uses it disappeared. I turned it off and the following day the red stuck pixel appeared again.
I ran the PSP video for stuck pixel using TCMP ( Found in this article )
and still there.
the next day (today), I ran it again for 45mins and now its gone..
Instructions said to run it longer (2-6hrs) but I would like to know if it will ever come back. I can still return this and the red pixel is right smack in the middle and very annoying to look at.
Any experience with RED/STUCK pixel appearing, disappearing and then never coming back??

I had a stuck red pixel the second day I bought my phone, got the phone in Singapore but I live in India where theres no service, so I was devastated, then I sort of massaged the pixel a few times after turning off the phone, and viola pixel gone , but it did come back a week later, another massage and since that day I have'nt seen it since , its been about a month now.

somebody pointed out that its going to be hard actually hitting the LCD surface because of the touch screen lining. but anyway massaging will be my last option.
It reappeared again by the way and I did the 2nd option which is to take out the battery, it turned it on and its gone! gone again.

I picked up two tilts from best buy online and both had stuck pixels. One blue and one red pixel with each pixel being at about 120 pixels up from the base in the center of the screen. I had them both replaced and the new ones are perfect. If you have only had it for two weeks I say exchange it before your 30 days is up.

Dont do a proper massage, just lightly slide your finger up and down the dead pixel area. Dont apply pressure. Should solve your problem.

instead of red pixel, I got green pixel after 2 months of use. So I just claimed through AT&T warranty and now I got me a new kaiser. So that's what you should do if you have warranty.

did u have to buy the warranty with at&t?

[Q] Dead/stuck pixels on the Nook Color?

Hi,
I got a Nook Color for Christmas and instantly fell in love with it once I realize it was running Android and could be rooted.
The problem is that it had a few dead pixels, so I returned in and got another one. This one had 1 stuck pixel and 1 dead pixel. So I returned it again. This latest one still has 1 dead pixel. I've returned that one as well. I bought the last 2 NCs from a different store than the first.
I'm thinking I might just buy TWO of them at this point, and hopefully one of them will be pixel-perfect, then I can just return the other one.
Kinda frustrating, is anybody else having problems like this? Are there any Nook Colors out there without any dead pixels?

u have to be very unlucky lol
3 bad nooks in row lol
just trolling... i have no problems with mine

The one I opened Christmas morning had one dead pixel. I returned it and got one that didn't have any problems.

Mine has a dead pixel, right in the middle of the screen. I'm going to exchange it when I manage to dig myself out of the snow. Did you have any problems returning/exchanging? My wife got mine from BN.com, and I'm hoping I can exchange locally...

I have one stuck pixel, but doesn't really bother me.

Mine was bought at a store but I had no problem exchanging. The manager even knew what a dead pixel was to my surprise. She didn't even take more than two seconds looking at the screen before exchanging it.
I'd call a store and see if they'll do that for you.

Mine was purchased locally from B&N and returned at the same store without a problem. The second/third NCs were from Walmart, and I also didn't have any problems returning those.

Been there, done that
I am on my 3rd nookColor now.
First had 6 stuck pixels and the second had a bad touch screen.
It suffered lots of random presses that prevented me from completing the setup process.
Third one seems ok, but I must say I am not impressed with the build quality so far.
I bought mine from the local BN and did not have a problem returning the first one.
However they were not keen on the second exchange, kept telling me I needed to type slow on the screen and it happened to them at first too.
So I said if they could complete the sign in process I would keep it. They could not make it work either and had to take it back, but still claimed I was not typing correctly.
YMMV however.

Sam thing happened to me. Had to return it, but the next one is perfect.

No problems here, but I hear it can be hit or miss when it comes to dead pixels. Sounds like you were pretty unlucky OP, don't be discouraged until you get a good unit.

Well. I've noticed a flicker on about 15-45ish percent. I'm not sire if the other one had the fluked but im just going to keep this one and either use low brightness ir 50%.

Whew, well!
So, today I bought another NC from Walmart. Had some dead pixels, but off to the side so not as bad. Kept that one for the moment and bought ANOTHER one from B&N, that one had dead pixels near the center of the screen, so I returned it promptly.
I thought about then keeping the one with the dead pixels near the edge (from Walmart), but I knew that Walmart had ONE Nook Color left on the shelf so I went back and picked that one up. Examined it in the car and .. PERFECT!
Returned the one I bought earlier and I'm a happy camper.
So, sixth time was the charm! Took forever but I'm in a good mood today now.

Geez. It took 6? That's pretty poor quality control on B&N's part.

The 1st one I bought had a speaker problem and a dead pixel, the 2nd had dead pixels, the 3rd had a stuck pixel, the 4th is solid and flawless. Kind of sucked to have to return something so many times, but BN was really cool about it.

My first had a speaker problem, too. I'm on my second and hopefully last.

A friend is helping me get one from US, first & second had dead pixels & cracks on screen! Interesting point is that they don't change it at local shops because it was bought online, new ones have to come from B&N HQ which is taking ages now! Quality control is really awful!

Mine got a piece of dust under the screen. Took it back and the new one had two stuck pixels right in the middle of the screen. Took it back and opened the new one in the store with the sales person right there. Stuck pixel right in the middle of the screen. I ended up getting the very first one with the dust back...just didn't feel like messing with it anymore. The dust is clear over on the right side of the screen...with luck it may work it's way out.
I have to agree...from all the reports of stuck/dead pixels it seems like QC has been shoddy. Might have to consider the extended warranty on this thing.

OK so there's nothing we can do about it? B&N should calls this batch of faulty devices & replace them all, it's not acceptable for a E-Reader to have broken displays, the main role of this thing is to show material right!

I can't believe how AWFUL their QA is on a $250 device! I broke down and bought one yesterday morning.
It has no dead pixels, but I'm having a b!tch of time inserting that stupid mini-USB cable, which presumably should insert/remove fairly easily/smoothly. Managed it twice yesterday, but gave up this morning, so this one's going back as soon as B&N opens. (I had this vain hope that it would work it's way smooth, but no go...)
I'll give them one second chance, but if there's ANY problem with #2 it's going back, and I'm returning with cash.

My first had dust and a dead pixel.
Second has a stuck pixel on the bottom right.
Bought at Best Buy who now has included tablets on the 14 day return policy.
I rarely see the pixel, but when watching videos etc, the screen usually has a black frame around it and it glows bright white which is a bit distracting.
These things are out of stock at most of the stores near me.
I don't know if I should try to return it again, risking one thats worse, or just keep it, or get a full refund and buy later..
I won't buy again from Best Buy since they were not happy exchanging the first one.
Uggg...

Stuck/Dead Pixels On display

Hey guys, I've just bought my Z 2 weeks ago and have just noticed stuck pixels on my screen. 4 white tiny squares.
Well 3 are tiny, one's a little bigger.
Already played a dead pixel app off on it but they're not responding.
According to guarantee, 1-4 dead/ stuck pixels are no reason for a replacement or fix.
What else can I do to get rid of them? Any idea?
Apparently they disappear by themselves or stay forever:what:

Are you sure that 1-4 are considered normal? In one of my booklets (titled Important Informations) that came with the Z, it says that up to 2 defective pixels are considered normal, meaning 3 or above are enough to claim warranty. This might depend on the country or carrier maybe, but I think it shouldn't. Could you post a picture of the booklet/warranty where this is written?

Check your warranty booklet and other leaflets that come with the phone. I had 3 dead pixels and read that up to 2 are acceptable so I sent it on warranty.
But if yours says that more dead pixels are allowed then I'm afraid you did what you could by runnig the pixel fixing app.
Although since you say 3 are tiny and one is bigger this one might actually be more than one pixel. It could be a small cluster of dead pixels. I suggest you go to the shop you bought your Z in and ask them to replace it. It won't hurt since the worst that can happen is that they say no.

Well. Been at the shops today, they declined. Lucky as I get, I'm only left with 1 STUCK pixel. Because it's sometimes blue, sometimes white, it's definitely not dead

If it's not dead, you can use pixel fixing app that shows different colours like this or this. You can also find videos on youtube that does same thing like this one or that one (second video is actually better because it's for FullHD displays but shorter, so you will have to repeat it couple times)
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks, but I've already mentioned that I've used pixel fix apps, even.had them launched for 1-2 days! 3 have vanished, only the slightly bigger one is still there! And it stands out by miles on a dark screen:banghead::screwy:
Edit: funny thing, these stuck pixels keep disappearing and reappearing again and again. Rather annoying!

Dead Pixels

I received my brand new Note 8 on Saturday and was disappointed to see that I had a small cluster of dead pixels right at the bottom middle of the screen (near the "home" button). After running a "stuck pixel fixer" app for an hour I managed to get this cluster back to one dead pixel that was showing no signs of life.
Given the price of the phone I decided to return it for an exchange, so have sent it back today and will not get a Note 8 back until later in the week.
Has anyone else had any dead pixel issues? I know it bad luck and can happen to anyone at any time, but I would like to see if anyone else has had problems, just out of personal interest.

pic?

You want to see a picture of a dead pixel? I didn't have another phone to hand to take one (and a screenshot doesn't work, because you know...it's a hardware issue!) Imagine a tiny black dot somewhere on the screen on all colours except black - it really is very small and can easily be mistaken for a spec of dust on your screen until you notice that it never goes away.

Rotten luck especially as you now have to wait even more time for a replacement. Mine, so far, is fine but I bought the Nexus S that was made by Samsung way back and that had a dead pixel problem. I returned it to the outlet the same day and got a new one. Its a pig when this happens.
At least you are intelligent and reasonable enough to realise that a lemon will happen with all such devices. Shame you have to wait though. :crying:
Ryland :highfive:

None here. I would immediately return the phone for an exchange.

i have the same issue on my phone, but it is on the top of my screen

This happened to me. Received my phone on the 7th, placed another order on the 8th, which I received today, and returned the defective one.

Just return it, be done with it.

Edge screen has same green tint problem as Edge+

Right side for me. Still, just because it's faded doesn't mean it's over. I wanted to unlock the bootloader, but I can't go voiding the warrantee when I may end up needing it.
I'll probably return it and wait for the US release of the G 5G equivalent.
If all it needed was a break-in, that should've been done at the factory.

I am in the same situation. I see the green tint, but it isn't as bad as when I first turned it on.

I posted a new thread over in the Q&A with a poll about it. The moto support forums are starting to buzz with folks complaining, and the best buy reviews are starting to roll in with photos. Moto may have a slightly big problem on their hand.

Mine did the same after just 1 week, i send it to the service and they said they ordered the hardware for replacement, couldnt return the phone and get my money back

UK model (single sim) MOTP-EDGBLK - same issue.
Only apparent when the brightness is below 50%.

I received #4 replacement
This time I noticed some changes in hardware
The screen looks OK for 18 days
Nothing funny so far

I returned mine back to Amazon and bought another - after 3 days, same issue.
Gave up, got a refund and bought a Pixel 5.
Such a shame, I really liked the Moto Edge design, size and battery life. Unfortunately it seems that Motorola can't make phones, had a screen related issue on my Moto X Force a few years back too, seems like Motorola have not improved at all.

I assume it's difficult to have good yields due to the waterfall design. There could be a relatively high failure for this type of design.
It's funny how my 2nd Edge is exhibiting the same green tint. I was so sure I could put this behind me.

The waterfall design isn't new though. Other OEMs have made similar style displays (Samsung, OPPO etc) and none then have such a high failure rate like this.

Whatever the source is, Moto is clearly struggling to obtain good panels. Reviews say the screen is great but they fail so easily. It's beyond strange.

Day 23 of #4 replacement unit
It's still too early to say trouble free, but compare it with the one on first post

I changed the theme to white in all apps, it's weird because the only color that appears green is grey

Green tint seems to come before purple streaks and double images, no? Look at reviews on best buy, green tint is the least of your worries.
Also you could use swift installer to make certain apps black. I only noticed the green tint cause I happened to have another phone next to the edge.

3 days in from bestbuy retail stock, box has a 20 october 2020 date on it. No screen issues. Of course, when I have the light theme enabled there are often situations where I can see a slight greenish/grey hue to the edge as it begins to curve. That's just optics and not at all as some of the pics I have seen. Sweet ride so far.

As of December 8th, no more purple blotches, which has shadows of the notification bar, and cutout. Hasn't happened in about 2 weeks. I did notice, with the latest build(October), that the battery drains a touch faster. Still don't know if it's curing of screen materials, or update.

Screen is still perfect after full 8 weeks
