I noticed that i have some dead pixels... and when i say some.. i mean LOTS !!!!!! i took an app called "Dead Pixels" and on black screen... my screen is full of little white dots.. should i go to replace my phone ??
Are you sure it's not dust ? Dead pixels don't light up at all, they are black.
I have my Desire exchanged at warranty because I got dust under the screen.

Desire S only comes with AMOLED? I thought dead pixles only appear with SLCD
Could be stuck pixels, dead pixels are black.
Also the desire s has a S-LCD screen not a AMOLED screen.
Why not upload a picture?
Sent from my Desire S using XDA Premium App
i can't upload a picture cause the dots are very small... just 2 of them are bigger... the thing is that they are white on black screen and on white screen they kinda disturb the white... i tried that app with pixel fix.. and they are still there
maybe i should go at my provider with the phone and they should change it :|
hmm, i got a scratchy line too that shines in RED when the background is white...... I always thought those were dead pixels...
I also have couple of pixels that shines light blue when the screen is black, didn't know about them until I tried "Dead Pixels" app, it really doesn't bother me.
It dust guys, not dead or stuck pixels. I've exchanged mine once.
Sensation has the same problem due to unibody chasis design. I know it's stupid but what can we do...
I feel like the Desire S is the first phone I've had that doesn't have dead pixels.

Hi,
I am seeing 2 single white dots on left side of my phone screen. I like Galaxy R beacuse of its specification. But same time I was worried about its screen size as I am too used to keep phone on left front pocket of my jeans pant. When I drive 2 wheeler I see sometime it gets pressurized. I don't know how else I can keep this phone with me.
So the question is, did my phone create any dead pixels just because of it might have got some pressure? Anyone can help to know are those really dead pixels and how to fix them?
I can only see them when camera switch on/off and display for a moment becomes black or when watching video. Otherwise with full colour background wallpaper, dots never be seen.
Well as we have lcd screen, i dnt thinkk that problem like dead pixels in amoleds can be happen here (correct me if i m wrong)
try flashing stock rom and wipe cache and dalvik cache, may be it help. Do update ur prob resolved or not.

i don't think they are dead pixels, it may be because of dust.. similar thing happened to my friends Optimus One because of dust..
First let's confirm its not due to the background of the picture that was on your screen.
- Type *#0*# => Press Vibration(Black) => Now check if there are any White spots.
- If there are white spots on the screen then take it to the service center and have it checked, if its just dust as guys above me have mentioned then they'll clean it.
- If you can't see any white spots then it was the background that you were talking about which had white spots & nothing is wrong with the screen.
Hope this helps.

I have a similar white spot... well, i am saving that one, given that the R is now out of stock, if we dont see an ICS build or if samsung says they can't get to update it to ICS, i am gonna take it to the samsung centre and ask them to change the screen as i am getting that white spot and because of no stocks, i am sure i will be getting my refund
Even I had a white pixel on the left hand side of the screen on my SGR. You can observe it only while having a dark background. I read online that its pretty common so I left it.
You can try an android app - "Pixellator" (?!).. I am not sure if thats the name.. It has been made specifically for such white pixels.. Its dint work for me though... But no harm in trying

Thanks for this information. I was not knowing such hidden interface. I did above test and found no white spots. I am actually confused now. I do have scratch guard on my screen. Don't know but those 2 white spots can be seen randomly only when black background is on screen.

Then it's the background's problem .
I know CM7 has such a system app called CMWallpapers.apk , and they have the choice of setting it as "No Wallpaper" . Can you try extracting that from the CM7 ROM and giving it a try ? Don't know if it works though *shrug*

try turning on the brightness to max and then do the vibration ( black) test...
then you can see them easily...
it is there in my case...

Switch on the camera and cover your camera & manually turn off the flash. Now take a picture it would be completely black.
Do update on the progress here.

I can now see those 2 very small white spots at the same place. Do such spots are problematic in future and should be fixed at service center soon? Do they will fix this under warranty?

If u want u can raise claim and yes they will fix it for free as its a display prob and ur phone is in warrnty period.
Before giving in ssc ensure that u have flashed stock rom of ur country, ur download counter is zero and ur phone is not rooted.

i had my Samsung tablet 8.9 since January and all of a sudden i noticed a white spot on the screen. it appears as gray when the device is on and the screen is white and it appears as white when the device is off or the screen is black. has anyone encountered the same problem? what is it? and why it suddenly appeared? how to solve it?
it is a normal thing. almost all lcd screens have approx. 0.03% dead pixel in whole screen even if it is new. there is no point to be worried about this.
Ok, so I am on my second One X now and both have had more than 1 dead/stuck pixel. You probably have some too and just haven't noticed it yet. The easiest way to check is to set the brightness to max then set the background to full black (you can get dead pixel testers from the market). You will see small bright spots. Look closely and maybe you might have to tilt the phone to slight angles to catch the sub pixels.
One phone I have has 13 bad pixels and the other has 3. Terrible QC.
My second replacement device had a handful of buggy pixels. They would flash on certain backgrounds. Got my third replacement, and it is perfect. I have no intention of painstakingly examining for ones I can't see. If I can't see them I don't want to know about them.
Rabble rabble rabble.
If i have to do all that to notice them then I am not worried about it.

The thing is you will eventually notice them and then by then it might be too late to exchange it. It's not like setting the screen to max brightness and a solid black background is something that will never happen on your device...
I have only one. I can only see it if i look for it hard though at an angle. Not enough for me to go out and replace risking a worse one. But kinda discouraging... Still in my 30 to decide if to keep in general

I must have got lucky because my One X doesn't seem to have any dead or stuck pixels. I remember my PSP having multiple stuck pixels and that drove me crazy each time I used it because a couple were in the middle of the screen.
my first one had one dead pixel and back light bleed on the bottom, replaced it and my replacement is perfect.

No dead pixels here. Like davis, I had a stuck pixel on my PSP and it drove me nuts (replacement screen i got for 40$ from hong kong so nbd) Theres a tiny scratch in the glass of my Captivate which holds skin oil and refracts different colors like a CRT screen would do. That is by far much more annoying to me.
I got my phone yesterday and didnt notice it then, but now I see a dead pixel right smack in the center of the screen. It only shows on much lighter backgrounds, but my eyes keep gravitating to it. I might have to get it replaced. I hate that because I have my phone completely how I want it set up right now.

I found one that I can see ONLY when I use a screen test app on black background in the top right corner...going to exchange it. It's free to do so...so why the hell not?
Wow. This thread had me worried, as I've not closely examined my display yet.
I used a dead pixel tester from the market. Set brightness to 100%. The app cycled through several colors, including black and white.
I have 0 dead\stuck pixels. What a relief
No dead pixels for me either!

Dude, I remember buying the original psp on launch from my local bestbuy, bought the extended warranty they offered for up to 2 years and took my psp back to them after a 1.5 years and switched for a brand new one. My problem was 2 dead pixels on the bottom of the screen.
I've got one dead pixel. Either that or it's a piece of dust. Prolly dust since it's grey and doesn't really light up. Luckily it's in the top left corner and I have a grey widget there. You can't really see it.
*looks for it*
Actually... I can't find it today. It was there before, I swear.
Maybe it was actually dust....

Checked the first day. Found none. Not going to be obsessively looking for one at this point. Had a little light bleed at the bottom, but i turned off the backlight on the capacitive buttons. I prefer it that way. Better reading/watching experience in dim environments.
Found one in the upper right corner. Impossible to notice unless I have a dark background present. Added with the fact that the screen is super high res its so small that I could care less.
I'm not going to risk receiving a phone with more problems for 1 dead pixel which I barely notice.

I'm on my 3rd (and final) One X but all three I've had haven't had any dead pixels.
Btw can someone post a picture of what the light bleed looks like? I'd like to know if mine has it but I don't know what to look for. Everything seems ok.
Got a new HTC One X Rogers version.
One dead pixel.
Screen ripples with pressure on the side.
Small light bleeding at the bottom.
That's about it.
I bought it off someone. No returning it.
I'm going to try my best to deal with it, I mean who cares about the light bleed? I'm not staring at a black background in the dark all night so I won't see it much, the dead pixel is so tiny and somewhere where I won't notice it too often unless I look and I never regularly apply that much pressure when using my phone so the other issue is okay too. Phew... calm down. No need to resell it. Ugh.
Whatever this is a decent phone but HTC get your freaking QC together.

Every One X I've seen has that screen ripple when putting quite a bit of pressure on the sides/corners of the display
Okay that means all I'm really dealing with is the light leak (makes the bottom part of phone bright and a dead pixel.
For instance it's black but around the bottom there is globs of light that makes it slightly less black and more grey... light leak. Meh barely noticeable.
YES I CAN DEAL WITH IT A FREAKING DEAD PIXEL PHEW. I CAN DO IT.
I returned mine over a dead pixel, it also had light bleed but I was fine with that. My new one is flawless in every aspect.

Sigh... still trying to deal with it lol but this is really so disappointing...
The fact that HTC has such a great design but this phone is screwed up by the various issues because HTC doesn't have good QC.
Dead pixels
Wifi Issue
Screen Banding
Screen flickering
Screen rippling
Build Quality in general from creaking to glass problems
List goes on. Honestly I had a Galaxy Note before this.... 0 problems.

Haha Yeah, I'm quite pleased except with these two issues...
Galaxy Note was a bit too unpolished with TouchWiz 4.0 and I didn't want to brick it with flashing ROMs and I figured the Sense 4.0 would be smooth and I was right.
Stupid dead pixel. That's all that's bothering me right now because that's all that I can see ATM haha.
Naw it's sold ):
all i have is a little bit of light bleed from the bottom which from the looks of it most people have.
Ohh, dont push on the screen
I figured out my bleed at the bottom was actually light spilling from the capacitive buttons.. OP did you try a pixel fixer app? Worked on my nexus1 back in the day.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Probably same here for me too, capacitative button light leak. Meh :/ And I did but it doesn't seem to work. I assume it's stuck and not dead because it's white lights up?
Try rubbing it with a pencil eraser. Also, the Amaze suffers from light-bleed from the capacitive keys too, I'm sure a fix to turn them off will be out in time.
Hello,
So I got the HTC One X last week and the first one had a dead pixel so I swapped that one out. Depending on the day I go to the store, you see sometimes a nice lady is there or a mean lady is there. The store is Target Mobile. The mean lady I don't think has a blink of an idea of what cell phones are. She doesn't even know what a dead pixel is...
Anyways, so my new replacement phone seemed to be perfect, however starting from the bottom of the screen it has a visible blue tint and as you look at the screen from bottom to top, it seems to disappear. By this I mean the screen looks like a grayscale graph but instead it starts with a moderate blue tint and to an accurate white. It's actually really annoying when I'm typing in landscape mode beause the color differentations of the halves of the screen. Also, it seems like a piece inside the camera is loose because when I shake the phone there seems to be something inside moving. Also when I focus in the camera, it makes a physical click whenever I focus. So are these reasons enough to convince the sales rep to swap out my phone?
When I was changing my dead piexeled phone, she said " How do you know that it is defective. That may be the way the manufactuer makes it...
Anyways do you guys have any other counterpunchlines to use when she says stupid things like this?
Thank and sorry for this WOT.
I gave up looking for a phone without dead pixels. I tried to exchange my 2nd and two AT&T employees claimed that they couldn't see them. I almost wanted to tell them to get their eyes checked because I can see them at full arm length extension.
But screw it. I'm sick of wasting my time trying to find the perfect screen. I feel like the dead pixel epidemic is getting even worse with these super high res, high DPI screens.
From what you explained, I would exchange it. Is it obvious? If so it will be an easy exchange. Inspect the new phone carefully before agreeing to accept it.
I can see what appears to be a small fingerprint size bluish smudge in the upper right quarter of my screen. I actually only notice it on gray screens.
I keep telling myself it's not there in order to make myself believe it is truly the best phone ever.
So in an act of complete contrition, I'm going to rescind what I just said about the bluish smudge...
My screen is perfect... Hahahaha

Mine has exactly this in the middle of the screen. I can only see it in dark rooms when on a dark screen. It looks exactly like a finger smudge. I almost took it back at the 30 day mark, but was scared of getting one with dead pixels. so like you I convinced myself it wasn't there. It was, but now it isn't
I havent seen any blue tint or dead pixels on my One X

The HTC One X has a LCD, a liquid crystal display. The black is the liquid moving around. If it cracks the black will leak under the surface like ink. Stop pressing so hard. I think all lcd screens do this if you press hard enough.
Well this didnt happen on desire, lg nitro which has lcd
This phone is designed differently, the LCD is fused to the digitizer so there is no space between them
So when you're pressing you're actually pressing through the digitizer onto the screen
