Yesterday I bought a new HTC ONE X (INTERNATIONALVERSION) phone and I am in love with it but today I have observed that a small white bad/stuck pixel has cropped up in the middle of the bottom of screen. This white bad/stuck pixel is visible in all colours except black. Please tell me what to do. I am extremely worried. I sold my last Galaxy SII because of the same problem and today this new phone has shown the same problem. What to do? Should I replace it ?

I am completely fed up with phones and their problems. This is my second phone with this problem. I have neither the money nor the time to buy a new one X. May be I replace it after 6 months.
If this is a bad pixel problem then why doesn't this white pixel dot appears in black screen?
It appears in all other coloured screens including white.

Hi, I have my Defy for about a month and just now noticed 2 tiny stuck pixels of green/blue colour. They are actually visible only on black screen and in normal usage you can only find them if you know where they are, otherwise it only looks like a tiny particle of dust.
Since I only noticed it now it's too late for me to send it back
Have tried different software solutions and ran them over some nights, but nothing helped. So it seems they are permanent. I'm still on stock firwmare and havent flashed it yet.
It's sort of psychological thing... personally, I find it frustrating and it pisses me off because I know the problem is there and I have paid the full price for the phone to be perfect.
I was wondering how many of you experienced this and is there any chance that motorola would cover this problem under warrianty (in EU)?
My first Defy got a stuck pixel within the first week of me owning it. I phoned T-Mo and they sent me a replacement the next day. Before I did that though, I asked a T-Mo employee in one of their shops about it. He told me that if I couldn't get it sorted over the phone, to come back into the shop and they would help me get it replaced under warranty.
I don't really know how it all works but that was just my situation - hopefully it's of some use.
My defy that I just sold had two dead white pixels. One in the middle of the screen and one about the height of the volume rocker. Only visible on black screen though.

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.
The screen flickering is persistent now, and the top half of the screen is darker than the lower half. So, it's going back.
Replacement swap on Tuesday.
I had a thought today about why the screen may have darkened. I'd read about heat being an issue with yellowing the display, and wondered if the GPU had caused it to go darker?
One of the first things I did after the first charge was play Reckless Racing 2 for a while - and it got quite hot by the camera and on the screen itself. Could the heat from the Tegra have discoloured the screen glue at the top end of the screen?
This was while I still had the yellow spots - which disappeared after a few hours of screen-on time.
I think I'll "burn-in" the screen using Display Tester on my next one before doing anything that gets the CPU hot.
What do you think? Uneven heat on the display causing it to discolour on the top half? Anyone else had this? You can notice it on the Google homepage or any white screen (like on Display Tester).
can you take a photo of it? the so called uneven?..

i had this on my One X, uneven green in white and tint all gone after a week of use, the screen is perfect white now
So you're saying it sorted itself out after a while?

out of box it was yellowish yes and and whiter at the bottom, now its perfect, its known thing since the iPhone4 launch, screen lamination glue needs time to settle
Hi everyone, had my one X for a week now and while I love it, I have just noticed I've got a yellow dot on the lower left corner of the screen. Anyone else had issues like this, thinking of taking it back. Shame coz its an awesome phone. What's this screen test app everyone's talking about? Thanks
Hi,
I unpacked my new HTC One X grey yesterday and quickly noticed a little dodgy pixel down at the bottom left corner. It isn't a dead pixel, but it doesn't seem to be a stuck pixel either.
What I noticed was that when using an app which has the little black menu bar down the bottom one pixel was always shining white.
But when I used the 'Colours Dead Pixel Detect and Fix It' app I discovered that this little pixel can be any colour, including black -- but that it just doesn't take the colour its supposed to - the detect and fix app has a black menu bar down the bottom so the pixel should always be black, but the pixel takes on the colour which is flashing on the rest of the screen. When the screen is blue the pixel is blue, when the screen is white the pixel is white, when the screen is black the pixel is black. But it should be black all the time with that app.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Is it a software problem? I tried restarting the phone with no luck.
Thanks!

get a replacement, it's a hardware problem properly.

if its only a pixel i wouldnt worry about it, your eyes and brain will get used to it, however if you can return it still then go return it otherwise if you are out of return period then just keep it if everything else ok
thanks
What do you think it is though? So I can tell them when I call to have it replaced. It's not a dead pixel as they're just dark, and stuck pixels are just a single colour... ?
Thanks!
white pixel? visible at bright area and angles?
probably hot pixel
It's not just white though - it seems to take on the colour of whatever is brightest near it - so if the bulk of the screen is red then it's red, if the bulk of the screen is green then it's green. But if the rest of the screen is black then it's black. If it were a hot pixel wouldn't it always be white even if the bulk of the screen were black?
Thanks!

yup this is what im talking about, i returned my second HOX for this reason
its either a hot pixel or spec of dust under the glass
I've left it flashing with that stuck pixel fixing app in the probably vain hope that it will work - really don't want to have to wait for a replacement!

sorry bro don't bother pixel fixer wont help with it
its not a dead pixel
had the same and returned phone. for me, the pixel was always black.
where exactly was it located at yours? mine was in the left corner as well. more exactly: when you are in the homescreen and have the google play icon in the down left corner, the pixel was in the word "play" under the icon.
Mine's in the black menu bar at the bottom - on the home screen just to the right of the green mouthpiece on the telephone icon.

It doesn't sound like a faulty pixel in the typical sense, more the pixel connection has become coupled to another one, sort of a short circuit somewhere. This could be a fault in the LCD screen, the ribbon connection, or the LSI driving the display.
Either way just call it a dead pixel, as long as you describe how they will see it so they confirm it isn't right it shouldn't be a problem.

Phil
Thanks guys, much appreciated. They're sending a replacement on Tuesday. let's hope this one is flawless!
Hi
I have a problem with my SG N7105 screen. The phone is only 6 weeks old and the problem stated about 2 weeks ago.
At first I noticed a white line down the screen from top to bottom. I got an app from Google play store to test the pixels and the line only occurred when the screen flashed certain colours, so there is a pixel problem. About 2 days ago the left side of the screen has become discolored. It is more noticeable on a lighter screen and looks Green. It goes exactly to the middle of the screen.
I am having the phone repaired by my carrier under warranty, I just wondered if this was an issue anyone else was familiar with?
Thanks
