Dead pixels?

I have noticed at the top of my screen in the notification bar clock there's a 1 to 2 mm line of black no matter what's on the screen colour wise. I have turned the screen off and put it under a bright light and found no dust evidence. So it must be dead pixels, Is there nothing I can do about this? Will it get worse over time?

Never noticed such an issue. But it could be a stuck pixels instead of a dead pixels.
Search for "Dead Pixel Detect and Fix"-App it could fix your problem.
(sry can't give you a external link, cuz it's my first post )

Thanks, found it and used but didn't work.

Hm sorry for you.
Are you using stock or a custom ROM ?
If so maybe give it a shot on an other ROM ?

Try looking at those pixels with full screen images of single colours at full brightness. If you don't find anything wrong around the pixels then there isn't anything wrong.

Tried that with 4 different colours and it stayed the same, every thing else on the screen is fine apart from a 1 to 2 mm black line just above the time above the time in the top right hand side of the screen.

Had the exact same problem. Sent it HTC and they confirm its a hardware problem covered under warranty. Still waiting to get it back though! :S

When did you send it?

It was in the same place? Not sure It's worth sending back so long for such a small fault which you can hardly notice. Unless it will get progress and get worst?

I think dead pixels tend to get worse over time. That was the reason why I sent it back in the first place. I don't think this kind of delay is norm. I was told that they were missing a part and they had to wait for it to come from abroad, hence the delay.

What to do with a phone I got of eBay and have branded from Orange to stock sin free. Do you think they will honors the hardware warranties.

They should honor the warranty, I had a phone bought from Mobicity in Australia and then I moved to Croatia. After a couple of months I had a dust issue and I sent a e-mail to the authorised servise in Croatia and they checked the IMEI if it is covered. I also dod S-ON and flashed an Asian RUU just to be safe.

I have a green dead pixel near the top left had it since day one :/

Was it very small and did it get worse? Did you send it off to HTC?

i might be a little late here, but did any of the guys with the various problems mentioned in this thread got their issues resolved ?
I am facing the same problem with these stuck pixels so any help is greatly appreciated

Would you take back a phone for this reason

I just got my replacement sensation 4g and it is like 2 little dots of light that like idk seep through the screen. Its really not on the screen thqt you touch its on the bottom left corner next to the home button. It is kind of annoying when I take my case off and see them but maybe I will get used to it idk. Would you take yours back for this? I also am having my htc sense keep crashing and my phone randomly reboot itself. On T-Mobile chat they say it is an app causing this and not the phone because they fixed that problem with the last update and want me to delete some apps off my phone to see which app is causing it. Anybody else having those issues?

Bottom line, if you aren't happy and able to exchange it, then yes I would.

Its not on the touch part of the screen. Its on the outer black rim to the edge next to the home button.

Try this: in a (very) well lit room, place the phone in front of a mirror and take a pic with the front cam...

I tried and I couldn't see it. I think you can only see it in the dark when its light I couldn't even see it (this is the first day I used my phone without a case with the case on I couldn't see it). But its still kind of annoying. Maybe I'm just being anal.

Sense 4 and slight hum background noise?

I just noticed on Viper Rom (probably any Sense 4 Rom) that when using a good pair of ear buds that block out all sound, you can hear a hum in the background when swiping between screens and going into apps. It's almost like a touchscreen thing. Once you stop swiping and settle on a home screen it stops, but once you switch screens again the hum comes back. Anyone know or can verify this? I'm using a pair of etymotic HF2s with a really good seal, so no other noise is present.

Sorry to bump this back up, but anyone willing to test or confirm/deny? I'm going to roll back to Sense 3.6 and see if the same thing happens.

Can confirm

Thanks for testing. BTW - what Rom did you test this on?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2

That could be a hardware problem to me and could be a ground issue there shouldnt be hum in the back ground of any kind

I went back to a nandroid of Sense 3.6 and it virtually disappeared. So it leads me to possibly think of something in Sense 4... But who knows....so many factors...kernel, base, firmware...
I still love Sense 4, but would be great if more can test.

touch problem... :(

hi all, my sensation xe keeps on screwing me up with touch problemz...
having listened to some music, when it gets a little warmer in its bottom, touch quality gets terrible, in a way that i have to tap the screen several timez til it'll let me unlock the screen. of course this issue persists when the phone is lied on its back. n i'm sure that it ain't relevant to softwarez or rom. only hardware i think.
what do u suggest for me to do? n what's ur opinion about putting a little alumminium foil on the metal part on its back connecting it to the back cover? plz hel me
