The issue seems to appear when browsing a webpage which has a black background. The far bottom left of the screen shows a bright white pixel, which originally I thought was because I had a faulty display.
You can see an example of this by going to the www.blackle.com or EA Android site
I'm slightly confused now
I just downloaded an app called 'Dead Pixel Test' and no white spots showed up at all, so it seems it was more a software glitch rather then a faulty display
And changing the background in the homescreen? Does that solve the problem?

It seems like it's being caused when I'm in the Browser
The website is http://eaandroid.com
I haven't tried any other sites, so I would appreciate it if someone wouldn't mind testing it out that link on their phone and letting me know if they're getting the results

Are full screen pop over ads going forward the new norm on xda? If so i guess we just have to live w/ it, but ads like this are incredibly annoying...
Happened to me the first time I logged in today but thats it.
I've gotten it on my phone and on my computer the last few days...
Are you talking about accessing xda on a laptop or on a phone's browser/app? Its happened to me viewing the web version from my phone. Really annoying.

I have seen this on so many tech sites lately. I am just doing the nasty thing and using ad-block for chrome. I wouldn't use it if the ads weren't as intrusive but these are just silly.
You are using chrome.. is there no AdBlock-Addon??
Never seen that

All the forum sites are using pop up ads, flash, etc. these days, and it freezes the browser momentarily at times.
That's why I use Tapatalk-based Android apps like this one.
Too bad I can't see all the fancy signature blocks, etc. but I can see & reply to messages quickly.

We are not choosing to put pop-over ads on XDA. If you see them, please screenshot them and send it to "svetius".
Full screen ads on my Gingerbread Nook Color are a total fail! I usually don't mind ads, but this is going too far.

Yeah, this totally sucks, and could be a reason for me to not visit XDA. When I'm viewing this on a phone, it's ridiculously tedious to close the damn thing down on a small screen.
My apologies if this is the wrong section. I can't seem to get my avatar to show in threads. It just says "rorytmeadows's avatar" with hyperlink to my profile. It's only 2.4 KB and is less than 80x80 pixels. It's just on the desktop...mobile app seems to be fine.
The file is attached.
Am I crazy?

I believe that is an issue with the picture file not being synced across all servers. Try re-uploading it or just give it some time and it will get resolved.

Not normally...I have seen a few other ones like that as well in the last day, so there must be something going on there. I suggest renaming the file and then re-uploading it.
+1 happening to me too.
It could be a server issue, i'm having it too.....already contacted our Administrator so i guess this will be fixed asap.

Well I had this problem too. I wanted to change my avatar to a new style apple logo.
Tried different things: upload to xda/upload to tinypic, different formats, ...
Always getting a blank image (not found).
I then tried changing my profile picture, it worked. As a bonus this is now also my avatar
PS: transparant png pictures work too. Now it looks great on the 2010 theme with that non-white background.

Look at the pictures in flipboard and the notification bar in the second screen shot.
To me it looks as if the renderer doesn't read the end of the image files. I don't know what to do about it though.

flipboard.
ah and the second picture, with my telephone status, is only to show you my firmware setup
it s not an graphic bug^^
i only want to know, if anybody has this problem too, like in the first picture
Try disabling developer's options, their known to cause lots of bugs with touchwiz lag, crash on deleting homescreens ...)

When I visit a site, (especially xda) with the new nexus 7 it keeps refreshing constantly, like it'll load the page up but after like 10sec it'll refresh the whole page I think it might be the ads causing it to do it but its just a guess.
I'm Using chrome.
Yup I think its to do with the ads on xda, I just downloaded the app from the play store, solved that issue, but it really needs to be fixed, I made a post about it yesterday, its extremely irrigating

I use chrome on Android and haven't seen that - does it change when you zoom?
It'll change if I zoom, scroll and "mess" around, but I can't reproduce it with the same behaviour one time after another. It's random. And sometimes it don't change at all, it stays unreadable.

More information:
Some time ago I used chrome beta and had the same issue. That's why I started to use the stable chrome and everything was fine.
Though, I guess now with the latest stable release on play store the changes in the previous beta got merged.

Is there any way to send feedback for chrome? I left a feedback, but know nobody sees play store feedbacks
Hah, not sure. I've been messing around with line-height CSS settings, I thought perhaps that would fix the issue. I believe it has something to do with re-flow or lack of re-flow. It seems to me to be a bug within Chrome mobile browser since it doesn't show up on desktop. Perhaps if we all submit a "Report an Issue" eventually someone will see it?
@bitpushr I bet we can solve this by enabling or disabling some of the flag at chrome://flags
Don't know wich one though

It seems to be a bug in Chrome out of our control - I was able to recreate the issue but various CSS settings (line-height) did nothing to fix the issue. It has to do with Chrome redraw I believe. Someone reported that they saw the same behavior on other sites so figured this one is above us. Please report the bug to the Chrome team as I think this is the best way to fix this.
