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?

[Q] Flickering Screen

Hi guys
Have a problem with my Xperia Z, screen seems to start flickering (3lines, from top to the bottom of the screen) You can only see this while playing games. I've already had a screen replaced due to the same fault. With my previous screen it started exactly the same. First I noticed playing the game. Gradually became worse and worse (in the space of two weeks). In the end I couldn't play or browse because I was not able to see anything due to the fact the whole display flickered. Looks like its going to be the same. Hope someone can help me with that. Appreciate for any help.
Regards Luke

Touch delay with two fingers

Hello everyone!
I have an Honor Play, and it seems to be a great phone. But I have one big problem: if one finger is already touching the screen, putting an other finger on the screen and moving it respond only after a short time.
This occurs in all the games I tried.
This is not clear, I know... Let's take an example. In PUBG, I have my left finger on the screen. The I want to rotate my view. So I touch and move my right finger. But there is a small delay (maybe 100ms or something) before the view rotates.
I feel like it's coming from the ROM (HiTouch maybe, because it use two fingers touch), because I don't have this behavior with others phones.
Of course I tried to disable HiTouch, but it doesn't change a thing :'(
Does someone have this issue? And maybe a way to solve it?

Touch delay
I Had the same problem too..since the 1st day I bought honor play to play Pubg.. since I'm a hardcore gamer.. Not only Pubg.. Same to goes to other FPS games Such as crisis action, and free fire battleground.

Samsung Note 9 - Display Discoloration & Overheating

Who else are facing the same problem ?
1)Initially, when I unlock phone by pressing power button the display was changed to dim colour(mostly yellowish) and with horizontal lines displayed when the brightness is below 50%. After tried with multiple times pressing on power button the display came back to normal.
2) Next stage, it's not solved with power button. I have to keep my phone aside for some time to get back to normal display. It's been 15 to 20 min then.
3) Now, I would get normal display only in morning. Else, I need to keep my phone idle without touching for at least 4 to 5 hours. I've also changed screen power off time from 30 Sec to 10 Minutes. So that my screen wont turn off and I can keep the normal display. If I forgot to use or kept aside more than 10 min then my screen would go off and display would gone again and irritation starts with that discoloration problem..
4) If display changes to yellowish to reduce the horizontal lines problem I need to increase the brightness to 80 or 85% but this causing my phone with another problem "heating issue"
Samsung haven't responded on this issue yet, how could we bring up the issue and get the proper resolution from Samsung.

This happened after last March update installation?
What note 9 do you have?

Probably not a hardware fault if it happened after recent software update.
A number of note9 affected although samsung seems to disagree at the moment.

Hello,
I also have a problem with the display after waking up with the POWER button. There are tinted colors distorted and some stripes like dim lines and slow refreshing. Everything started after updating to Android 10. In fact, when the display lights up incorrectly, it starts to heat up from the bottom. Putting the smartphone aside for a moment or cooling down causes the display to work correctly.
Workaround? I turned on Active Display and first knock to activate it, then the display lights up correctly and then I unlock the screen and use normally. It is known that battery consumption increases. Of course mine is Exynos.

hi guys,, i remember a similar experience sometime back.. try this. if u have turn on the proximity sensor i mean the advance feature where the phone screen doesn't turn on while in pocket , switch it off and restart the phone and see if the problem still exist.

whats the firmware version u are having now and phone model?

Try wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work then back up your device and manually reinstall the OS back onto your device.

Im having the exact problem. I flash LineageOS and it worked by max brightness then back to auto. I installed brightness widget to max brightness and back to auto everytime I turn on screen.
This issue is popular after March update. I tried everythings you mentioned above, reset, flash new firmware, even April update, wipe cached, flash cooked rom, heat screen, turn off features, disable gpu overlay, etc... Samsung Vietnam guaranteed can fix with new screen but I'm out of warranty.

I dont have any issues us unlocked snapdragon xaa model on latest android 10 version.

Can we confirmed that a screen replacement fixes the display problem or is it still a software issue

No one knows what is the exact cause here, its noticed in many devices right after this March update but few are noticed months before. But, now the problem came to many users at same time. So its been brought up by many tech blogs, websites.

I'm having the exynos version too but with ITV (Italy) firmware ...never had this problem and now I'm on April's version after March's version.
This looks a little bit like what happened to the S5 years ago when after 1 and a half/ 2 and a half year's the screan began flickering, having green spots or lines, randomly didn't go on with low luminance settings since it completely died....a lot of people said on forum's that it was the screen and a replacement solves, but when it happened to me years ago the Samsung assistance center told me that it was another component (never told me what it was) causing the issue and once they changed it , they solved the problem.
So, after my experience with the S5, don't know what to think now for what is happening to some guys even if I think that this issue might depend with something happening after marchs update because for the too many people having it after the update, coincidences are not credible.

Yes, many people were facing this problem and how many times we have contacted the Samsung they are behaving like they just hearing the issue for the first time. Just created and posted the link in Members app and 67 members joined so far. Everyone having the display problem out of nowhere. All of them on out of warranty except one or two. Still members app floating with the display problem messages.
Display issue got noticed in S20 too but they immediately released the security patch and solved it. Don't know why they were silent on Note 9.

TOUCH PROBLEMS (maybe not?)

Hello, friends
I heard about all the complaints about the touch issues on this phone, so i went and try that touch scree test
Turns out, during the test, the phone records input that i didn't made, but, for my surprise, out of the test in real use, i never got any ghost touching any zoom problems, scroll problems, nothing.
I have the phone for more than a month now. EU snapdragon version, fully UNLOCKED (6GB/128)
I even try to make the ghost touching happen in real use, scrolling just like i did in the test app i tried it on youtube; instagram; reddit; youtube music; play store; on the samsung news feed, etc...
Does anyone also had a positive test, but didn't had any real issues?
Thanks
video of some guy about the problem:

I also had a positive test, but I didn't have any real problems or at least I didn't notice them!

Weird right?
Gives me mixed feelings about it,because the problems that are being reported are impossible to note notice if you or me had them
It's like a fake positive in a COVID-19 test XD

Looks like the latest firmware update has fixed the problem.
S20 FE Touchscreen Issue Thread : Galaxy_S20 (reddit.com)

This is a problem for people who play games like pubg mobile. The top left corner which is on left of camera for me the problem lies there. While keeping 2 fingers on screen and pressing with the 3rd finger on top left side of screen will result in a double tap instead of single most of the time
