Replace the lcd. It's the only fix for a dead pixel.

send it in for warranty and get a new one. That's the easiest to fix it .
Does one dead pixel really bother you? Who's to say the replacement wont also have a dead pixel or two?
Few apps on the market to try, one called dead pixel detect. Another one that scrambles the screen to try to unstick the pixel, but I forget the name...something like jd pixel or something. Worth a shot.
You can try an app called JScreenFix. Run it for at least 10 minutes and stop anytime afterwards. I found two pixels that changed color and ran this program, but it didn't help me. I think the pixels were fine, but it might have been the touch sensors above it that refract the color of the pixels.
Good luck with finding a solution.

I was told by HTC Customer support that if you encounter what appears to be a dead pixel, do a few tests to check it out.
First they told me to take a " black picture " by covering the camera up and snapping a shot. They said to examing the pixel closely and see if it flickers and to see exactly what color it was.
HTC states that if it is white or gray then it is a dead pixel or " Unresponsive Pixel "
HTC states that if it flickers or is any color other then gray or white, then to take the battery out and let the phone set for about 10 - 15 minutes. Turn it back on and reinspect the effected pixel. If that doesn't work, they will replace with HTC Warranty Exchange and send you a New " not refurb " phone.
I got my new phone in 3 days after making the phone call.
thanks ill send it out

I was wondering if anyone of you have experienced this issue. If I press down on the screen right under the search icon in the lower right corner, the glass ever so slightly, very softly presses down. Almost as if the glue is soft or there is nothing hard there. Also I get the screen discoloration that happens when you do that to an lcd screen.
I have read online that others have this issue and even the demo units at the att stores do it as well. Keep in mind that there is no light bleeding through and the glass is not raised just presses down.
What do you all think?

I noticed this on my aria. Its how I got it upgraded to the inspire. These screens are attached with a thin layer of double sided adhesive. Think of it as ultra thin 3m tape. I think it might actually keep the screen from breaking under light stress. I would keep an eye on it and if it gets worse maybe call HTC for repair.
Never had any issue with the digitizer because of it tho.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how it makes me feel though. I don't think I'll return it just yet.

Mine does the same in the bottom. I've also noticed not all 4 corners are equally flush with the black ring that goes around the screen. O well, small thing really. Phone is so amazing.
Yeah I love this phone. I swapped it out and now everything is good. The only thing though is that out of the 3 they pulled out, 2 had dirt under the screen. That tells me we might need to figure something to fortify the screen better.

That bugs the hell out of me! I wish i would have saw that before my return period expired
Your phone has a 1 year warranty tho. So if it gets worse you can at least have it repaired. I would really suggest getting it fixed because that creates a paper trail.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
mine does this too. I guess I'm heading to the AT&T store.
Did you have any issue swapping it out ? I'm 2 days past my 30

I tried to swap mine out within my 30 day period, and the sales guy told me he couldn't give me a new inspire (because the demo model and his personal one had the same issue) but would let me get an atrix. I still have my inspire, funky screen and all!
Mine does the same thing. I wonder if all of them do it? did the one you swapped for do it too?
Also when I went in and talked to the radio shack guy he told me that if I put something heavy on it overnight it would reattach to the double stick tape if I didnt want to return it. Also can your return a phone with this issue rooted and s-off? or do you need to go through the process of returning to stock?
I would take it back stock. It seems to be an issue that doesn't affect the phone. Only thing that sucks is returning it to find out the replacement is worst or better yet, get one with dust under the screen. Also it seems to be at the corner of the screen where you normally wouldn't press on the screen.

Mine new one is better
I had no problem trading mine in at all. My new one is much better. Well, actually it has no problems at all. My screen was making an audible clicking when I pressed it down. I just don't touch that section of the screen at all cause I am afraid to hear it again.
My screen is okay. I guess this problem is there for most devices with LCD touch screens. To make it slim/light/cheap the screen rests on a really thin platform I feel.
On a off topic : -This happened with my iPod. I went to the "genius" bar and that guy brought 10 different iPods out and showed me by pressing the bottom right part of the screen that this is "common" .... I had no better argument then.

My friend compared maps on his nexus s against my sensation, and I noticed something I hadn't seen before, the amount of red in our background. I know there is a rgb colour fix for Samsung phones, and I was wondering if somebody could work with ours to figure put and correct the problem. Anyone able to actually do this?

You can't really compare 2 different devices that have different hardware. BUT when I got my wife's sensation and put it next to mine I did notice that hers had a orange/yellow tinge to it.
there has been a lot of discussion on that. i also hav a red/orange tint at several angles. from what i have read the sensation screens are built by 2 or 3 different compsnies and i believe the sharp screen is the only one (whhich the tmob stores use as displays) that stays white at any angle. no display fix that i know of but there is a siscussion in general that talks about this issue and tells u how to check which screen u have. several have exchanged theirs. i have the aus or something like that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131592
check this out app called screen adjuster on post 1243 read around a little supposed to only change blue so read up lol hope this helps u nik http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131592&page=125
If the screen have some tint when looking straight, try using SCREEN ADJUSTER from market.

Do you use it? what do you recommend the blue/green settings to be at?
Yes. I have USED before.
Basically it depends on your screen. Not all screens the same. I use to keep green3 & blue3 in stock ROM.
just try to adjust with some white background......

It is pretty crazy how people who have the skyrocket ignore that the screen looks awful when dim. Its even worse that Samsung has not stopped production to fix the problem either. You would think the white one would come with a fixed screen. Usually by this time you have people writing reviews and ranting about phone defects on YouTube, yet with this phone nothing. Just hoping someone agrees with me and maybe we can stick these problem up samsungs behind.

Dont think anyone cares that much
Why use the screen dimmed? Kinda defeats the purpose of having a super amoled

Agreed.
I have mine set at 50% and its bright enough for me all the time.
I never go lower than that though, so I personally never experience poor screen quality.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I've never notice the problems mentioned throughout the forum regarding dim settings and colors/lines. I'm sure that to a good eye mine is too afflicted.
One a side note, took my screen protector off today, and man! is that screen gorgeous. It's gonna be hard to put it back on, but I learned that lesson with the Atrix when I took it's protection off and it hit the ground.
You see, and that is the problem. You are ignoring to issue. So when your in a dark room you have your screen full brightness? I don't so it does bother me.

I agree my screen sucks at low brightness. I mainly run my low to save power only turn it up when outside. I wrote a review on Samsung site and did give a bad review on the screen.

I just picked up a white skyrocket yesterday and I've got the screen issues / lines. Looks like a "brushed metal" overlay on top of everything.
I'm going to be getting it exchanged for a new one tomorrow.

Maybe I got lucky... I've had my I727-SR for about 4wks now and haven't experienced the screen lines / screen problems others are posting.... I consistently run at low brightness with a screen protector and screen looks perfect.... no lines, blobs or other anomalies.

Mine has it. So does the white one I looked at. It bothers me and I notice it often. But its the only phone on AT&T that I want and LTE just went live a week ago. I will sadly have to live with it :-(

My screen is great. No lines or any of that kind of stuff.

just picked one up today. white one.
i see the lines below 50% brightness. above, they are gone.
I believe this is just a simple issue of having the same pixel density of the galaxy S2 but with a larger screen.
this should be device wide.......i dont see why people should have different results....
edit: i have it only above 30% brightness actually....
No problems here... at 0 it still looks great, no lines or weird issues

I have personally seen this vary from device to device. what may not be that bad on yours could be 20x's worse on another. others of us are in fact picky and expect more for what we paid for this device.
To each their own

playing video
When I play video ie Netflix YouTube etc I notice that the picture quality is not.what I expect.from a 250$ phone. I love this phone and that is.my only complaint. I have tried.adjusting.the brightness but it doesn't seem to help. Is this a problem that all are having?
I just got the Skyrocket today and just now turned the brightness all the way down and did not see any issues with screen clarity. Looks pretty good to me.

Mine has the same issues. However, they are ignorable if you customize the look of your phone. I changed the screen density and customized my phone with a dark bg and modified system apks.
HTC = Hate The Consumer
I have returned my unlocked HTC One X due to the gray flicker problem and I'm considering getting the AT&T version of the HTC One X. Does the gray flicker happen on the AT&T version too?
There's two easy ways to check. The simplest way is to start Dolphin HD, then immediately hit the back button. This will cause a popup confirmation window, and gray out the background screen. The gray, especially around the popup window, will strobe and maybe even flicker.
Or just open the attached image. It will look almost like a flouresant light in an office building that is going bad.
Thanks,
Thit.does it to me only on Twitter though

Digitizer is just a touch sensor... If he has dead pixels he needs to change the whole screen.
Perhaps a cable got loose in the phone. But I wouldn't bet on it.
Anybody know of any other fixes? I really don't want to open this phone

Restore the phone to stock and use your warranty? That's what I did when I had a dead pixel.
As a last resort, there are a few more to try, although you've probably tried them all!:

I'm skeptical myself, but it's worth a shot.
Let us know how you get on if you find any "Miracle Apps".

i have stuck pixel and use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect
but my stuck pixel is from when i bought it, not because i drop my phone.
Ive had some luck with using a damp cloth that has been heated in water and put in a plastic bag, I used it to rub some of the pixels back. Its improved alot, not perfect yet but I will keep everyone posted. Also I still have some dark green stuck pixels. Those apps help but not much. Any other suggestions?
Thanks everyone
