Dead pixels?

Well to go with my dust thats under the screen today i got a nice dead pixel as well. I was in gmail and can see it on a white background. Im very sad that after a few days all this has happened to my phone. Returning it today but im scared to buy another one. What would u guys do?

I would swap it and get a free replacement

Hey there. I got dust on my phone and in addition to that, i also realised that i got two dead pixels. So i was checking out this warranty statement that comes with the phone in the box.. correct me if i'm wrong.. as in the picture, does this mean that we can't get a repair/replacement due to dead pixels? Dead pixels mean dead spots right?

I swapped mine at Walmart last week due to 3 dead pixels. No questions asked after they saw the dead pixels.

I see. I once saw online about htc australia's warranty policy saying about at least 3 dead pixels for a replacement or 2 dead pixels which r 5mm apart. I'll wait for another dead pixel, then i'll drop by at the customer service center for an exchange. Man, this phone is just perfect except the dust and dead pixels. Even harder when the owner is a perfectionist lol.

Hey lightforce, did u manage to swap ur phone due to a single dead pixel?

I have held 4 Sensations and seen 2 dead pixels on one phone.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

my third sensation is perfect aside from having a column of about 3-5 stuck pixels. On a black screen, they appear red. Without any way to take a proper full backup of this device, I'm really getting tired of having to get replacement after replacement. Get it together HTC.

single dead pixel here. keeping it. no other problems, very happy with the phone

With how inconsistent Sensations seem to be, you're making the right choice. Better to live with a tiny problem than risk having much more serious issues. I wish mine was dead, or that it was just one pixel. A column of bright red near the middle of the screen makes me want to punch things

a dead pixel is like a pixel that does not light up at all. especially obvious when you are on a bright white screen, say on gmail or messaging app.

Expanding on that, because it's related, a stuck pixel is a pixel that lights up, but is stuck on, even when the screen should be black. Theoretically it could be any color, but usually it'll be just red/green/blue that are stuck.

i posted this before and actually i only got one dead pixel, while the other one when looked closely is just a stuck pixel which can be gone over time lol. phewh.
and odd that my warranty statement that came with the box says..
"Due to no assurance of 100% free of dead or bright spots in the manufacturing process of LCD display thus far, please note that no warranty is granted for LCD display to be without dead/bright spots."
which is similar to the warranty statement for Windows Mobile which i got from here http://www.htc.com/sea/support/warranty.html
but when i compared to the warranty statement for Android which i also got from http://www.htc.com/sea/support/warranty.html, it says..
"Due to the complexity of liquid crystal displays on handheld
devices, dead or bright pixels may sometimes occur. If the
following occurs within DOA period, then you can ask to replace
the LCD at our authorized service centre.
(1) 3 or more dead/bright pixels (*) anywhere on the liquid
crystal display.
(2) If there are only 2 dead/bright pixels, then they must be
within 5mm of each other"
why would HTC provide warranty statement which is for Windows Mobile in an Android phone's packaging? odd right? my sensation is a SEA version too btw. check it out yourself if you have all the time like me lol.

Oh yeah I forgot, there's an app for that! JScreenFix. Sucks to pay a few bucks to possibly be able to fix a manufacturing defect but oh well, just a few bucks. The app says to try it for 10 mins and get a refund if it doesn't work, how nice of them.

Paid apps are not shown in Asia so i tried apps called Pixel Curer and Pixel Fixer. they don't work. lol. i even tried to leave it overnight. blegh. is JScreenFix any better than other stuck pixel fixing apps? have u tried on your stuck pixels yet? if not, u can try the free ones first i hope u can get yours sorted out.

I tried it for half an hour with no luck. I could try running it while I sleep but I only sleep for an hour or two at a time so it probably wouldn't be effective.

Weak display glue & creaking camera?

Just got my AT&T One X a couple days ago, and I noticed that the bottom two corners of the display are very slightly raised, and pressing down on them pushes them in, and presses against the display as if the entire display assembly is raised. In dark areas, there is noticeable light leak from the capacitive buttons where the display is raised.
In addition, the circular housing around the camera creaks when pressed in, as if it's ill-fitting. Definitely annoying and concerning.
I took my phone into the at&t store and they told me "oh, all phones are like that to a certain extent, if we exchanged it the new phone would have that too". Should I go back and try harder to exchange?

I think so. Mine has none of those issues and is very solid.

Yes you should go back. You are paying good money for that phone and the service! Also, there is an old saying that I think that AT&T is forgetting or has forgotten. "The customer is always right."
I am shocked a little that she would just pooh pooh it off like it was all cool and that you would believe that they are all that way? Such a shame that these new shiny expensive phones are having these cosmetic flaws. There was an issue of a discolouration on one of the newer Sony phones.. *shakes head* Hate to say it but this phone was ruined for me when I found out it was gonna be only 16gig..
Good luck there, friend

It's hit or miss just like anything else. I hate doing unnecessary exchanges for small petty stuff.

Take it in and demand a new phone. What you are describing are definitely defects with your particular phone, mine is flawless. You paid good money for that thing and are stuck with it for two years, you should not have to settle for anything less than a perfect device.

Wow, that kind of pisses me off for some reason. Don't let retarded ATT personnel tell you what is expected build quality. Most of those floor clerks don't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to technology. Like the other dudes said, take it back and ask for an exchange, make them bring out two or three other units and pick the most solid one of the bunch. You're paying multi-hundred dollars for it and signing a two year contract, don't let those same retards that told me the one x has "a amoled screen" and that I should get it because "it works even with a lumia 900 sim card" lecture you about build quality.

Most of our htc one x have this light leak from the buttons, look for the thread, its normal.
The camera area is plastic.
and can you post a picture/video of the screen issue? just so we can get a idea of how much you are pushing it in lol

Yea that's a defect, you should able to exchange that...

I had similar issues with the creaking and the top right of the screen being "mushy". I had bought mine outright at BestBuy and I took it back and told them it was a defect confirmed online, which for the most part is. When I got the next one not a single creak and screen is solid.
Just take it back and tell them you did your research on the issue and found that it is indeed a defect, because it is.

Common with HTC out seems. My inspire was exactly the same.

Awesome! Went to the AT&T store again, got a manager, they basically said "oh yeah well that's just how displays work, if you touch a TV screen with enough pressure it does that too". I told them I only have to lightly tap on the screen for it to warp, and they said because the phone just came out last week they haven't gotten enough feedback from people to know of any potential issues, and if my problem was impairing my use of the phone then they'd replace it, but because I can still use it they "can't replace it". He said he was going to email his HTC rep and see if my problem is a common issue, and let me know later today.
That is such bull****, they can't replace it because it hasn't been out long enough and it's only a cosmetic problem? I clearly showed them how it was different from the display models, and they still said oh its just too new to tell. Great.

Go to a different store, post on their forum, "tweet" at them, hit them on facebook.
Honestly, it seems like the social media people at AT&T do a lot better.
Worst case scenario? return the damn thing and take your money elsewhere.

AT&T told me if I wanted to exchange it I would have to go down town to one of their offices. Apparently they wouldn't let me exchange it at that store. Which is kinda bull, since it's an official AT&T store.

I noticed that the lower part of the screen was not as flush as the top. I just went around the whole phone applying slight pressure and it appears to be flush now. Even before, the difference was negligible.
I saw your pictures too. To be honest, mine does the same but you have to apply some pressure. Same when pressure is applied to the screen.
The screens are VERY close and often adhered to the glass, so yes, pressing down will cause that.
I can replicate the very same thing you show in your pictures, but I do have to apply pressure. This amount of pressure I would NEVER apply in a day to day use.
Looking at your fingers, I can also tell you're applying similar pressure. (the tip of your nail has been pressed so far that the blood flow has been restricted, thus the faded, white hue under the tip of your nail)
I can only conclude that you're being anal about this issue.
If there is light leakage to the extent you have shown WITHOUT applying pressure, I can see why you'd want to exchange.
I just think you're nitpicking at an issue that doesn't exist.
I'm not saying that all phones are flawless or that this phone is flawless. But my hardware resembles what you have described, but I consider them as non issues because they're not really issues at all.
However, when it comes to software of this phone. There is a LOT of be desired, and I've only had the device a few hours.
HORRRRRRIBLE!!!! keyboard, just atrocious.
Weak wi-fi signal, I'm 20 ft from the router with no walls, WTF.
Random network disconnects
flawed multi-tasking
These are the issues you should be MORE worried about.

That's what I thought at first, too. I felt silly for going in there yesterday. But today, its gotten worse; I'm typing this on my phone right now and I can see the lower screen warping as I type. I agree with you, when I took those pictures last night I had to apply slight pressure in the corners to get that effect. However, now all it takes is a regular tap on the lower right quadrant of the screen to see the screen warp. For example, if I press and hold on my home screen (with a gray background) to pull up the wallpaper menu, the screen looks like it does in the third picture I posted. That's definitely not normal behavior.

Sorry I didn't mean to come off as an ass, but your issue MAY be legit, I'm not saying you're lying or anything . Just lots of people on the forums tend to make a mountain out of a mole.
here is my advice. You have 14 days to return the device. I say use it and see what happens. OFTEN times, because of rush to deliver, these phones go from the line into the box, then into the box and then a box....
Basically, let it air out, any glue used to adhere the screen to glass may still be curing.
I've read multiple cases where after a week, similar issues have disappeared.
14 satisfaction policy (30 in CA).... return it and go from there if you can't get anywhere with an exchange.

I'm just going to deal with it

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.

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

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.

Blue Tint Screen?

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.

ATT first vs second shipment

After reading many build and quality issues with the 1.73 original shipment handsets, I was wondering if people with the factory 1.85 second shipment handsets are seeing the same issues.
Personally I have a second shipment 1.85 handset and it is very well built, great on battery, no dead pixels on any color, rarely gets hotter than warm, very minimal light bleed on lower right corner on all black screen, no corners lifting up and running like a superstar with clean Rom 3.0(ran outstanding on factory 1.85 also).
Only issue I am having is the phone seems to take longer to charge than my inspire or vivid with real HTC charger. I have tried more than one. Not so long that I think there is an issue, just longer than I have experienced in the past.
Please post your experiences with 1.73 vs 1.85 handsets and maybe we can figure out what has been fixed on the production line so far.
Personally I think they definitely tweaked it and fixed some early build issues.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I had an original 1.73 and dropped it so I replaced it and got a 1.85 device. For me, they are both EXACTLY the same. Never had any issues on the first one.

I got a 1.85 One X about a week ago. Strangely, the box it arrived in was somewhat warm (for whatever reason), and the device was warm when I first took it out of the box, but I don't believe that's affected anything on the phone. Everything seems in good shape with this model; my only question is the light bleed you're referring to on the bottom right corner of the display. I think I have that too. When it's an all black display, or at least all black in the bottom right corner, it seems to be a little bit "brighter" in that area, so to speak. I also notice that the "stage light" arrangement for the backlit display on the bottom of the display (above the capacitive buttons) seems a little brighter in that bottom right corner. Sorry for the rambling, but is that what you're referring to?
On a side note, that "stage light" appearance of the backlights on the bottom of the display are supposed to be like that, according to an HTC Customer Representative. In case any of you were wondering lol.

4 of my HOXs had those "stage lights" as you call them, one didn't have them at all. The one that didn't have them had a really crappy screen that was all washed out and had yellowish whites. All the ones that did have them had vivid colors and bright white whites. Be happy your display is the one with the visible backlights, the other one sucks.

Anyone having the corners of the glass lifting away from the phone issue on the new batch? Mine are all perfect on the 1.85. Any dead pixels or dust issues?

This one that I just got today *seems* perfect. I say seems because as history has taught me 4 times over, only time will tell.

I have a 1.73 and have had zero issues with build, the only issue I had was software (clock not updating time when on wifi and coming out of deep sleep)...which has not returned since the 1.85 update. I have rooted and unlocked bootloader and currently running cleanrom 3.0, standard...and DEV editions! It has never run hot, screen is flawless, and I am happy

I dont think having 1.85 on the phone qualify the device as second shipment. Maybe one of the many numbers on the box would indicate to this. My first was 1.73 but had a dead pixel, then my second was 1.85 and was about the same minus the dead pixel.

I could give you an electron and you would probably find something wrong with it compared to all the other electrons.

He would complain that he could predict where it is but never find it!

As long as the electron had a separating screen, faulty sim reader, terrible battery life and dust under the screen, or a bad vibration motor and overheating problems, then yeah, you're probably right.

i had my first one replaced at bestbuy for dead pixels. He took out a new one x and had dust under the screen. So he set that one aside and gave me another which over all is good. However when I push down on the screen I can see an ink looking blotch show up for a second. Kind of annoying.

Agreed -Does take longer to charge
But I love the battery life on the HOX running 1.85.

I've had mine a couple days before it released on AT&T officially and my co worker has a white One X from the second shipment and our battery life is identical. Give or take an hour or so but build is exactly the same. We do this for a living and are very particular about our devices. I actually swapped mine out twice until I got the perfect one -_-

So glad I DOA'd my phone. Battery life is much better. Haven't had any wifi issues anymore. And the vibrate motor doesn't rattle.

I can't tell the difference between the two build quality wise. I know that I battery life changes drastically from phone to phone. The grey one I had the battery was perfect. I thought it was getting too hot so I exchanged it. Boy do I wish I didn't. These replacements aren't coming close to that battery life. I'm doing all I can to get one that does and hey if AT&T wants to keep sending me replacements then I'll take em.

Omg after reading this and inspecting my phone I feel like I am going crazy
