I just got a stuck pixel on my phone in the bottom of the screen, i picked it up today from the local T-Mobile store, anyway to pix it or am i gonna have to return it?
best thing to do is to return it for another one
it's very rare to see a stuck LED on the SAMOLED+ screens
it stays even after a reboot?
yea i rebooted it 3 times and i also ran those youtube stuck pixel fixers that flash billion colors on the screen really fast...it didnt work its still there
Stuck Red Pixel
Anyone else have one?
It's really not a big deal, except that I've only had the phone for two days. They usually go away on their own after time but I have to admit it's annoying.. because I purposely look to see if it's their when I'm in the web browser, which is really the only time I see it (only really visible on white background)
take it back and change it ASAP
Dead Black Pixels? Picture not rectangle?
Okay so I was about to go to bed when I realized that the phone died...so I plug it in and I was like wooooahhhh wtfff...
I see all these weird dead black pixels and on top of that the battery isn't perfectly rectangle...the back part is zigzaggy...I tried to take a picture but it doesn't come out..
Try it. Go into a really dark room and turn phone completely off. Plug it in and wait for the battery picture to come on...any of you see the multiple dead black pixels and non rectangular battery? ?
An alternative way that I also tried was a black background on the lock screen...I saw only a few dead black pixels...not as much as plugging it in...dam I thought my batch was perfect...
You can take a screenshot by holding the home key and pressing the lock button.

That wouldn't help because its a hardware problem. I'm going to return it and wait 2 months and get it at a cheaper price....
are you sure those are dead LED?
there's no pixel in SAMOLED displays, each "pixel" is actually a LED
so are you absolutely sure those LED at dead?
if you put a HD picture on screen of a uniform colour, does it leave any black spots?
That's what I meant, thank you for clarifying....I see splotches on dark shades of black...its like the screen is dirty, but isn't.
I actually have a spot I didn't notice until last night, its a red spot that's stuck at the bottom. So that's a dead led?

I see the samething when doing the Screen brightening glitch in a dark room.
When I turn off my phone and connect to the charger in the dark, it show the battery charging and surrounding it are black dots and lines. is this even normal? does everyone got that or its my defective device?

I have what seems to be a dead pixel that constantly seems to change color (when displaying darker colors it becomes visible) on the middle left side of the screen. I also seem to have one that flashes bright only once on top of the screen (not always, just when screen refreshes seem to occur).
Anyone else there having such problems with their X One? Sounds to be like a hardware problem..

a lot are experiencing the same mate, we don't know if its hardware or software no words from HTC so far

Just found another (dead?) pixel. This one sits on the left side of the screen, and is only visible on grey or lighter backgrounds (not on black backgrounds). It is lighter than the rest when displaying a bight color, and sometimes flickery turns blue when swiping over colors on-screen.
Not all that disturbing, but I certainly don't like the idea of having a brand new phone with one (and potentially) two dead pixels on arrival.

Mine had 3 before I sent it back. Mine were dead, so stuck black.
Mine had a sticky pixel (the ones that can be seen over black background). It was visible only on very dark light conditions and over black background.
I wanted to go to the shop for replacement, but on that morning the pixel reactivated alone.
There are some apps on the play store that try to reactivate sticky pixel by changing the color of the screen very fast.
I doubt their effectivness, but they are worth a try.
I want to check One X for dead pixels in stock before I buy it.
How can I do LCD test at One X?
I try *#*#4636#*#* but I cant find LCD test here, so which code works for LCD test?

It is normally at the code you said, but seems to be missing on this handset. Use an Android app...there are quite a few.
But in stock Im unable to install any .app on it.
Any solutions how to check the display in stock?

Unless you have a very sensitive eye, I don't think you would be able to see a single dead pixel at the shop. The pixel density is so high that a single pixel is very very small. You need to watch very carefully to spot them.
Anyway, the best way to spot my sticky pixel was to take a picture covering the lens. You get a totally black picture, which you can view full screen and hunt for white/yellow/green/red pixels.
If the seller is veeeery patient you might be able to do that at the shop.
Maybe the same works for dead pixels, by taking a picture at a white wall.
What do the LCD experts think of this?
Anyway, all the apps on the play store for detecting dead/sticky pixel present the 3dots menu button. So they fail in detecting dead/sticky pixel in the bottom part of the screen.
Mine had a dead pixel along the top just right of the middle, I could only see it on dark colours. Took it back to o2 got a replacement there and then.

Attached a pic of the pixels I'm referring to. They are indeed 'stuck' pixels, not dead pixels. The one in the top only shows periodically. The other two are there constantly.
Also noticed the screen flickers on some apps. Now that I do find very annoying.
Requested a DOA return.
Mine was made in Taiwan.
i've been using the phone for a 3 days now, and i still have problem wit few pixels with exactly problem that is described in the first post. ota 1.28. did not help. did the pixel fix apps help, and if it did, how long have was the app active until the problem was resolved?

I am skeptical that running those apps will actually fix things. That was also why I returned that phone to be replaced. Got my new one today, and it has no dead pixels. It does however have a very vague yellow bar on the top of the screen. Almost not to be seen, only when the screen displays only white.
If it really is a problem, I'd contact my retailer and get it replaced.
Last night I was laying on my bed watching a movie on my phone. I notice somthing is wrong with my screen, when there's no light in the room and my phone is on a black screen. I have something wrong with my black color on the bottom of the screen, its really hard to describe but if you look at it, it looks not normal. But when im not on a black screen the screen looks 100% normal you cant even tell there is an issue with my screen. I was wondering if other people are getting this issue. Just go to a room that's really dark, put your phone with a black wallpaper and look at the screen you might have to turn up brightness to see it.

OOOOOOO wow... thats lame but I feel alot better that you said that. thanks for letting me know.
mine has it too its normal
In very dark conditions, all these screens seems to have a noticeable glow on black, and lines, dots, and/or spots that are darker (like ink marks). I got mine replaced twice and settled on the third with only a single small spot on the right middle of the screen.

Yea, i have it too. never really thought anything of it... kinda figured it probably was just something to do with amoled screens. Not like i'm frequently looking at a black screen anyway... and it's only really noticable in the dark.
they look like black blotches of paint or something right?
My Infuse and SGS2 both have them is thats what you are referring too. if you load a brown image like XDA brown far more noticeable.
that is how i noticed them on other two devices.
Maybe I'm just lucky. But I don't have those blotches on my s3. Did have them on my atrix 4G though. And this sgs2 I was borrowing from a friend. Only had my gs3 since yesterday though. Maybe age matters?

What's funny is. On my Atrix they were visible even with "color" showing. Faint. But visible. Very noticeable on black screens though. Gs2 wasn't too bad. But this gs3 shows none whatsoever.

Typical samoled issue. There are tons of threads about this issue.
either you deal with it or get another phone. Besides. When do you sit in the dark watching a totally dark phone!?

is this spots & lines r normal?is it going to be big in future?

So I understand this is a recurring issue with some AMOLED displays, but is anyone else noticing black splotches on your screen if you put a fully black image on the screen, turn the brightness all the way down, and look at your phone in a very dark room? I'm curious how common it is before I complain. I'll post a picture tomorrow if I can capture it. It looks kind of like an ink trail near the middle of my screen. Thanks!

I just checked my over 2 year old SGSIs screen and do not see any blotches. You are also the first person that i have read about that has any problems. That does not mean youeare alone however. I have heard many running 4.2 complaining about black artifacts being seen on the screen.

I have them on mine; there are two splotches about 3/4" long roughly in the middle, just left of center. Doesn't bother me though, since I can't see them during normal use.
Had the issue on mu-tiple Samsung skyrockets...the original note and on the s3.
I have seen them on some note 2 but mine I have not found one yet.

I have a small one at the top left of the screen. My first one was right down the middle. My OCD took hold and I swapped it out. It's the same thing on my new one.
Sure, I wish it wasn't there but you really have to have perfect conditions to actually see it.
It actually has something to do with inconsistent electrical charge or something. There's actually a team for this but I can't remember it.
LCDs have dead pixels and amoleds have these splotches.
The DROID Razor is really bad as is the PS Vita. It's just that tech.

I just had my phone replaced because of a power button issue.
Didn't notice with the first one, not sure if it had it, but at the bottom of the screen there is a slight tint of blue in color shift vs the top of the screen.
Kind of like a blue haze coming up from the bottom of the screen about a inch or so.
If you put on a white screen and look at the top then bottom you I see the shift in color.Mainly on white or grey color though.
Is this normal or did I get another bad one do you think?
Yep same situation happened to me.. unless u dont mind. Get a new one.

He he yeah it would bug me.
Guess it goes back.
I am having great luck. 2 with issues ha ha
Yeah well.
Thanks for the advice though.
The store is going to love me brining back another one
There seems to be some build quality issues.
Well it is about 3:30 here now and I am off to take this back to the store here in FL to see if they will take it back.
Wish me luck.
Will let you all know what I find.
Sorry for the late reply.
Forgot to when I got home.
Just showed them the color shift in the store and that it was on all screens and not just a particular app and they set me up with another one.
Screen on the display unit that didn't have the haze and the new one both look good, but not quite as bright whites as the one that did have the haze to it.
But I am okay with that.
I had a green tinted area in the top half of the screen showing on white and dark screen backgrounds. I came across someone whos screen turned completely green one day and didnt work at all afterwards so I took mine back to be on the safe side. Im now on my 3rd S4 in a week. Still love this phone
