hi everyone,
just so to know, how many diamonds owner have a/some dead or stuck pixel on their diamond screen?
last nite, after about a week owning one, i installed a pocketLCD, and found one stuck pixel on my diamond, so sad, trying every way to get rid of it, but to no avail

I also have a (1) dead pixel
yeah I have a "dead" pixel since I upgraded to duttys 1.6 rom. Is it on the top of the screen in the middle?
*update
Ok just tried to use the pixel fix from the psp and the "dead" pixel is still there
ok this is weird, I watched a video or when rebooting with usually videos the pixel that is gone funny is fine. Its only on the main screen it shows up. I used the diamond demo video which has a black background and the pixel is working fine?!?!?! Why is it only a problem with the main screen top bar????
tried different black theme and still there

I too used Dutty's 1.6 and have a missing Pixel right in the middle at the top of the screen but I wouldn't call it a dead pixal as it's only while the task bar is there. If you watch a vid, view a pic, full screen browsing etc the pixel functions fine.

hi viinholland,
where your dead pixel located?
is it dead? or it lights up but won't change color that makes it visible?
hi kidd78,
like Trem said, it's pretty much safe
i too experienced the same thing, i forget what application i was running, but when it shuts, it's gone, hence i don't use the application anymore but i truly forget what it was
darn, my stuck pixel is still there......
i wonder if anyone else got the same dead or stuck pixels on their diamonds....
By the way Gsen puts a blank pixel on your top bar.
You can deselect this on the Gsen config!
If thats your "dead pixel" then ill LoL at you guys!
Maybe you all have the new GSENS 1.7 installed? It places one white pixel at y=0 and x=240 so right in the top middle to indicate that it is running?!

Opps didnt know that thanks for the correction. Sorted it now.
I went through update instead of finding it on the forums. feel shamed such a newbie should of searched first.
yah i am aware of that, gsen gives a look of Hot Pixel rite in the middle on top, but what i got is a hot pixel, or rather stuck, which i don't know, far left of the screen
i wonder how many diamond got the same fate as mine
I got one but it isnt related to Gsen at all because I don't use it. Plus, when I boot up the phone I can see the dead/stuck pixel. Does anyone have a stuck pixel remover program they could share?
here try the psp pixel fix video. All you have to do is play it on full screen think best to leave it for 20-30 secs.
It may fix your problem it may not

here's a little application, to test your LCD
carry this along with anything which is transferrable to other device, to test before you buy, i should have used it, but sometimes i was too lazy, but i make sure i won't next time
Here is a pic of my screen. Definitely not a dead pixel, maybe a stuck one? burn in? Any ideas? The yellow spots on the bottom center and left. They are not visible on dark backgrounds.

Any degauss-like programs to refresh the screen?
they are not visible on dark? what do you mean? what makes them most visible?
usually a hot pixel is easily seen on dark background, whereas a dead pixel is on the white or bright background, which are yours?

Look at the pic, his almost looks like it has a burn effect... Not an individual pixel, almost like a section of them are tainted.
Don't push too hard on the touch screen? :-\ Idk, best of luck in fixing it.

They are more like smudges with no clear beginning or end. On white backgrounds they are yellowish (like in the above pic - full screen only- very bottom)
On grey backgrounds (for ex. start up screen) they are white. On a black screen they are not even noticeable. On colors, barely
And as for pushing hard, I didn't even get the chance as it was like that out of the box

It's not dead pixel but a screen failure.
You sure you have no bubbles of air under your screenprotector or have original screenprotector still on it?
from the problem reported, seems as if i am the unlucky one with defective pixel on my screen......
darn, should have brought the pocketlcd tester with me and test it on the spot, but weird is the shop claims each of every diamond got the same pixel problem, is it really that bad?
Hey guys and girls,
I got my brand new X1i on an O2 contract today, ordered through the internet.
However, when switching it on, the first thing that stands out is the screen isn't all black. The upper right hand corner fades to like a dull greeny tinge as if its under pressure or something.
After fiddling around with it, it seems to be the backlight as in bright light, the colours all look fine and black is black. This is also the cause if the backlight is put at it's dullest, but it's most noticable when its at it's brightest.
Is this a issue with all Xperias or just mine?
And is this serious and worth contacting O2 about or will it be okay?
BUMP.
Could anyone tell me simply if this is a common problem, if not, I'll ring O2 now.
A quick reply would be nice
I haven't seen it before and I haven't seen it reported before. If you think it looks out of the ordinary, too much to leave it be, you should indeed phone O2.
Cheers, I shall call now
Post a picture so we can compare and lets us know how it turned out, mkay? =]
Heres the best photos I can snap.
The first two don't really show it well, but the third is the best.
Trust me, when you first switch it on and the Sony Ericsson logo appears, the whole screen is black and that corner fades to that dull green colour. It stands out quite a bit, it's also noticable on the Panels screen.
If you have a dark photo showing, it can affect the colours on that too.
For such a pricey phone, I expect it to be flush black across the screen.
(They're big, so I left them as links. I left them big to show the detail)

I just got off the phone to O2, they get the phone from a third-party so I am expecting an email from them. The woman on the other end said, most likely they will swap it for a new handset at the door, or take it for repairs....but it will say in the email.
Ah, classic case of backlight bleeding. Send it back and you'll get a new one.
Well, hopefully, before next week is out I shall. Just waiting for that elusive email, they said I should have received it by Monday.
Thank you for you're help, I appreciate it
There was a thread on this, some have it too.
I have it as well, black light bleeding. I dont really mind it much since I rarely notice it.
Ive decided to leave it alone since my X1 is unlocked and it'd be a massive hassle to send it away to SE.
I'm pretty sure its common. Even high end LCD TVs have the problem sometimes.
I had it on my first x1 (which I dropped and got a new through insurance), and I've also got it on my new x1.
However, I barely notice it, so I'm okay with it
I wouldn't mind so much if it was white but its a green colour, thats more annoying.
It's gonna get sorted anyway, most likely, they'll swap it at the door for a new one.
I was looking for information about the SPB mobile shell and found this thread.
I also have this issue with the top right corner of the screen, especially when I switch the phone on (on the black startup screen with "experia" written in white).
After startup, I don't really notice the issue since this area of the screen is almost never black (except when switching panels and sometimes when watching videos, but it's hardly noticeable). I'm now wondering if I should return it or not, I got the phone on tuesday and already had to do a hard reset (and reinstall everything I had just installed before) because I couldn't send or receive text messages! I really hope this won't get any worse...
(My phone is a french version, and my carrier is SFR)
Ive had the same issue w/ one...i just returned to BestBuy yesterday and now the replacement is also doing this as well...1 day later
Me too, bugging me like crazy, but seems to be quite common.

Mine has it too but its really not a big deal. I've only noticed it on bootup.
Yeah, don't mind it on startup - who watches it start up?
But I notice it when using the camera (in the black border) and
when switching panels, that's where it's annoying.
- Anthony
yeaa, i got the same problem too. Went over to the sony ericsson centre and they don't have a clue what it was. They said they'll look into it, and thats it. No replacement.
Not happy
i live in indonesia by the way..
Mine too has the issue. Both upper corners are bleeding greenish. It's obvious when the screen is black, not only on start-up, all the time. For example, look at it when playing a movie trailer with really black scenes, it's there.
It has to do with the pixels, not the back-lighting, from what I understand of TFT functionality.
Remember the dead pixels issue on TFT screens? Well, the dead pixel means the transistor of at least one color out of the 3 (RGB) is dead, either locked closed or locked open (anyway, not being able to modulate the light intensity of the subpixel color), so the color is either missing or present at a fixed value, the overall color of the pixel not being the required one. In this case is an issue of mismatch of transistor parameters.
The GREEN pixels do not close completely to block the light. Being a progressive issue from one area to another, it's clear that the thin film transistors are progressively mismatched by the process errors. This is process error in the TFT technology (I work in microelectronics). The process masks can get errors (not the case here), or the masks are ok but the etching process is not properly adjusted. In my Xperia the bleeding gets progressive towards the corner, having a starting point like a center from where it spreads. That is because the etching involves chemicals and liquid flow to spread and cleanse those chemicals. My opinion is that the flow in the case of this particular TFT screen model is from the bottom to the upper side, where the upper corners are the bleeding areas for the chemicals and the effectiveness of cleansing is lower, combined with surface tension of the liquids. The transistors get progressively mismatched in parameters (beta factor) and since they all get driven with the same signal, they block the light less than the good ones. Nothing to do about it. Theoretically it might be possible to map out those pixels and provide a corrected voltage for the mismatched transistors (correction table in the GPU DAC ROM), but this is like tooth extraction through the ass hole (or replacing the spark plugs through the exhaust pipe). It's simpler to just get the ****ing screen right. Sorry guys, we are out of luck here. It seems the 800x480 3inch TFT's are not yet top quality, or at least the ones used by SE. I'm really frustrated that the manufacturer used a cheaper screen in a 600-800$ product. This is how a company can loose customers and get the image crumpled.
Hello i am sitting here rigjt next to a friend of mine and hiwt galaxy as a colder display. Like blue tinted. Mines is red tinted a lot which kinda bugs me.. I am using jm5 and he is on stock o2 rom. My device was bougth on amazon. His was bought on o2 germany...
HTML:
Any notoced the same thing? I know blue tint everyone has. But red??
have you check the display settings? Somewere in settings I remember there was a setting for the display "normal" "cold" "warm" if you set cold the screen went bluer and warm it was red. I just looked in my phone and i cant remember/find were i seen that setting
It could been when I put the phone is "service mode" by the way.....
It's in the video player app, supposably it keeps the setting for the whole phone though lol.
We tried it both on normal his screen ich much more blue than mine. Mine has a warm tint like rred. And exiting the app does not save the changes
the last resource alternative is to use factory reset all settings and data
then you can compare to see if it's a hardware thing, or a software thing.
Hello,
I have a brand new HTC One, and the camera is acting weird.
As a video is worth a thousand words, I managed to capture the problem and put it on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqRLqJZ89g0
As you can see, the camera randomly clicks as it looks like it tries to focus or something. The clicks are very loud too. It does so in full daylight as well, randomly, I could not determine a pattern.
Also, there is a pinkish halo on the center of the screen, at times, but it might be a different issue.
Did anyone else experience this?
In the meantime, the phone is being swapped today, but I wonder if this is an isolated problem or not.
For what it's worth, it is a late april, Shanghai manufactured model, unbranded, gray, bought at a retail store in France.
It may be your one Zoe should be fixed. Try not to move around very quickly. If the problem remains, send it to HTC customers support.
Hello,
I bought my P7 in September and since few week I have a yellow zone in the bottom of my LCD. It's visible when I am on a white area and it's very ugly. I think it's a hardware problem.
Someone else has got the same problem?
Thanks

On my p6 i had a blue zone on the left site in black areas. I had to replace the display.
I think it's a different problem for me, maybe associated with the backlight. I don't know if it's "normal" or if I am unlucky :/
I think its the same...its a display failure. If its an Software Problem flash new and you will See.
Hardware
Somewhere is written it's the display-glue.
My phone has also a yellow shade at the bottom of the display.
Just google it...
Up
I am the only one with this problem?
obviously
Maybe some more people have the same issue, but thy now how to use googoogle......
Aegliyen: Yes, I have this problem too. And this problem reports more users.
Unfortunately, Huawei says: that it's okay
I think that's a manufacturing defect.
I have the same problem. It is noticeable when I try to read in the dark. Is there any solution or do we have to live with it?
From what I read, if it is the glue then it might clear out after a few days of leaving the brightness on to full.
Sent from my HUAWEI P7-L10 using XDA Free mobile app
Me I can see the problem even I am not in the dark and my brightness is set on auto The yellow band take two cm of my screen... I found a solution on the Play Store but it's not perfect : Screen Equalizer. With this app you can add a blue band on the yellow to hide the problem but there are some problems with the navigation bar. It will be good if Huawei solve that with a software solution integrated in the ROM.
If it's a problem with the glue looking like the One Plus One maybe we can resolve it with some UV...
