Ive been enjoying my g tablet for the past few days and have noticed a stuck or dead pixel. Do you know how I could fix it? Its red all the time. I have tried a couple of pixel fixers from the market, but I have had no luck. One had been running for about 9 hours and yesterday I had it run through the night.
Is the pixel dead or....?
Thanks
Sounds like you should take it back for a replacement.
This may fix it http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php It is a java applet that flashes colors to unstick stuck pixels. I have used it many times on client's LCD to fix stuck pixels.

Ive got a dead pixel on my Orbit 2. Is there anyway of recovering it without changing the whole screen.
I hope for you that it's not a dead pixel, but a stuck pixel.
Stuck pixels you can fix by massaging the screen or by playing the video in the attachment.
Good luck

It's dead... return to POS.
Hello!
Please help me to fix two (maybe there are more, I haven't noticed yet; but I hope there aren't any more) stuck pixels on my Cynus T1's IPS display. One pixel is somewhere at the top of the screen and is blue when the screen is black and... is dark when the screen is blue. Another one is always white and located somewhere on the right side.
I tried to fix these pixels by running JScreenFix with maximal brightness. Overall this app has worked for... errr.. 3 hours with regular pauses when I wanted to know whether these pixels have been already fixed.
So JScreenFix did'nt help. Maybe run it for more than 3 hours? BTW can other pixels get stuck because of this app running and display working for a long time.
Another idea I have read in one forum is to... freeze the phone in a refrigerator (previously putting out acc, cards and sim). It is claimed by some people that this method will help to free stuck pixels.
To say more, currently my phone is in a refrigerator. I hope this won't at least damage more pixels... Or should I run and get it out of there??
So, what can you suggest?? I repeat: screen is IPS type....
Entire Screen is color dotted I cant see anything rebooting the phone wont work taking out the battery wont work. Ive taken best care of this phone and had a case mate, never even dropped it on top of having a case mate, what seems to be the problem? Its very aggravating going to bed with a phone working waking up finding out that your phone wont ever display anything again, I had this problem 1 night before this happened the night before it happened for about 10 mintues so I ignored it got home from school took a nap, and its permanent. any ideas? thank you
Maybe it is dead or stuck pixels
I had an issue which was similar to yours a couple of months ago. Actually my phone fell and some black spots appeared on the screen. First I thought am screwed badly cause they kept on spreading all over the screen. But after I searched internet, I found some information on this topic. There are some softwares on play store which help to find and remove stuck pixels. But, in my case they weren't useful. So I searched more and found a thread on xda where a member with the same phone had the same issue. He kept his phone in the fridge everyday for a few hours and eventually the dead pixels came to life. I followed the same thing and my phone came to life in a matter of days. Thanks to him, now my phone is perfectly fine. If you have stuck pixels, then you can try those play store softwares. Just search dead pixel on play store and check what you need. Stuck pixels are colored dots on the screen and dead pixels are black dots on the screen.

Have any of you had a stuck pixel appear on your Infinity? Mine is blue and relatively near the center of the screen. I tend to notice it most often when watching videos or anything with a dark background. Ignore the dust as I forgot to wipe the screen before taking the pic. http://bit.ly/XXfale

I had a stuck pixel around two weeks ago.
It was white and toward the left side...I thought oh-boy here we go.
I forgot about it then noticed it went away after a few reboots.
Had this happen on my 6 month old notebook also and that stuck pixel disappeared after one shutdown.

I had a vertical yellow bar appear on mine. It went all the way up the screen. I was past the Amazon return window by 6 days but they overnight-ed me a new one anyway.
So far, I have run Dead Pixel Detector and Pixel Curer, both over night without success. I have also tried "massaging the pixel", both with the screen on and off. Because of the tablet's glass top layer, I'm not sure how effective this method is though. I just press down enough for a few seconds to see some flashing movement on a black background and have the "waves" move through the area of the stuck pixel. Any other suggestions or stories of a similar experience? Has anyone been able to get a replacement from Asus because of a stuck pixel near the center of the screen? This problem is the only thing holding me back from rooting and unlocking.
Has anyone else experienced the appearance of a stuck pixel on their tablet?
I just got a replacement Nexus 5 which is fine except for 1 stuck green pixel just about at the centre of the screen. It's a bit annoying. I don't know if they would send me a new phone over this or if it's worth the hassle.
There are a number of apps that claim to fix stuck pixels by cycling through colours. I've tried a few for a few minutes. People in the comments have said running it overnight fixed their stuck pixels.
Does this really work? What's the principle that would allow a stuck pixel to become unstuck?
If I want to try this should the screen be set to maximum brightness or not? I'm a little concerned that leaving the phone plugged in with the screen on at max brightness may cause damage to the phone or screen due to overheating. Is this something I should be worried about?
Thanks.

Usualy its hardware (screen itself) related so software cannot fix that.
No. In answer to your question

So what's going on with people who claim it's worked for them?
In any case, I think I'll call Google and see if I can get another replacement. Maybe third time will be the charm...
Because it can work.
Think of each pixel as 3 switches.
One red. One blue. B one green.
In your case one pixel has the green switch stuck on.
These apps are designed to force the switches to keep turning on and off.
Sometimes you can get lucky and the switch will eventually free itself after so many tries.
Sometimes it will not work no matter what.
These apps just try to get it unstuck.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't
