My Atrix2 flew from my hand and fell flat on its face onto the tiled floor, from about 8 feet height. The phone appeared to be fine, but I felt roughly about 2% its pixels became dead. The phone was fine otherwise but the dead pixels were plain irritating. Didn't have time to visit Moto service. Guess what, on their own the pixels are becoming alive, which was predominant today evening. I think, about 1000 of those pixels are still dead. Those of you who are knowledgeable on LCDs please explain this self curing mechanism. Am I lucky? For info, phone runs on stock ICS and screen is ON for about 2 hours a day.
Me too, but I think the cold weather was the reason, lol.

Thanks for sharing. But, I live in Bangalore, India, where it is hot nowadays. There has to be another reason.
The past two weeks I was reading a lot of pdf docs on the mobile. Is it that the prolonged voltages to the pixels brought them back ? Happy anyway.
maybe if anyone has this problem shall try to completely seal the phone and put it in the freezer,,,, then tell us the results.

That's a good one! Removed the battery and kept the phone inside the freezer for about 4 hours. Then dried it under a fan for 5 hours. Switched on in the morning. Voila, hardly about 200 pixels at still dead. Will try to bring all back to life in the evening. Thanks a lot.

Hey, sorry I just saw this.
Are these Pixels dead, or simply stuck. A dead pixel is black, and never on, a stuck pixel is locked to one color. Stuck pixels are common, and actually a certain number per screen are allowed to slip through in manufacturing, but if you have a bright one, it is really annoying. (trust me, I know, mine has a bright green one in the lower right since I got it.)
Stuck pixels can sometimes be cured just by time, and more commonly by flashing multiple colors rapidly in the problem area. There are many apps for this in the play store. They don't always heal, but it is quite common, unless you are me, then they never do.
Dead pixels probably do not heal under normal circumstances, however yours were caused by the shock of being dropped, which could have just disrupted some of the stuff in the screen, and potentially they could self heal.

Thanks for the info. I had lot of black pixels (in clusters) scattered all over the screen. The flashing screen apps could not make any impact. That idea of keeping the phone in freezer really worked. After three brief visits into the freezer, only about 90 black pixels on 6mm, 2mm & 1mm long lines remain. Week end may see the end of these too. I owe this to XDA.
BTW, only today measured the screen size, to know the count. It is a rectangle of 96mm x 54mm; 10 pixels per mm.
And the good thing it heals for ever - I hope so - it's been about 6 months since the screen heal it self, and since I watching it when the device over heat from 4G usage, and still okay, lol

Wanted to report that ALL those dead pixels are alive now, after the phone spent about 10 hours inside the freezer yesterday night.
So, folks, those of you with dead pixels on the LCD screens can try the freezer method proposed by abd-hhh, before visiting the service center, if you don't have time or are out of warranty. I hope the dead pixels don't appear again. Here's hoping for the best :good:

Hi. I've tried your way to restore those dead pixel. In first time try, those dead pixel seem cured a little bit, but then it becoming back as before where those dead pixel reappear again. So, i tried one more time, but only 4 hours in fridge (not in cold storage), the dead pixel come to alive, but then still turn to dead... I just wonder, what temp of your fridge when you put your atrix 2? Did you wrap it closely tight? I want to try above then 4 hours, but i just afraid my phone will really 'dead' totally. Can you give your steps how you doing it?

Wrap with some paper then remove the battery and kept the phone inside the freezer for about 9 hours. Dry it with some tissue then switch on the phone. All dead pixel is gone (before is 4 hour in freezer about some dead pixel left after that the dead pixel spread back)
This is awesome, I'd really like to try this on my phone as it sounds like exactly what is happening.
A relatively minor drop, with no physical damage noticeable, has caused some pixels to go black/colors. However, I noticed that move sometimes! Like, one morning I woke up and found the pixels that used to cover a certain notification on my home screen had shifted over so I could see the notification!
I tried applying pressure and noticed that I could sort of make the dead area get bigger, then let go and the edges would sort of return to the earlier size. It almost seems like the LCD has too much pressure being applied and that's what is preventing those pixels from working. That's why I think the freezer trick works- the temperature changes cause the metal and silicon to expand and contract, hopefully returning the screen to its original position from the factory!
Here's my problem though- I don't have a Motorola Atrix. I found this thread doing a search. I have an HTC One X (sprint version, EVO LTE), which means the battery is built in. Should I be concerned that putting the phone w/battery into the freezer is a bad idea? I'm guessing due to condensation?
Perhaps it is worth dismantling the phone to remove the battery? What do you guys think? I tried to find reference of people doing this with other non-removable battery phones (cough* iphone *cough) but couldn't find much on that topic.

It's should work on any device with lcd screen.. But with battery inside...., I can't gift any word on that...
Btw.., If u wrapped any puff-up battery and put into freezer it will back to normal shape and still can be use normally...

I lock my phone and about 10 mins later I go to unlock it and the phone powers up meaning that it has been turned off. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the charge of the battery but it keeps doing this. The other week the phone wouldn't respond for about 5 hours I would touch it and the touch screen was completely dead. I locked the phone and then the screen went black and the touch buttons at the bottom lit up and that was it the phone crashed so I needed to restart it and it just wouldn't work. 5 hours later when I woke up it responded and Bare in mind I ran about 5 ruus to get the phone back to stock so it wasn't a software problem. So has anyone else experienced one of these problems. The random shutdown is my issue at the moment. I'm considering returning it for repair because isn't it true that htc have a 2 year warranty in the uk?
Sounds daft but I'd put a piece of folded paper on top of the battery to ensure it has perfect contact and isn't able to move at all.....I have heard of others who have experienced this issue.
I would also see if you could get another battery for a short time and try that just to rule out that it is an issue with the battery.

I have heard multiple users that they simply rang HTC up, complained that battery didn't work and got a new one sent out.....so try that....and attempt if possible to hang on to old one, as if it turns out to be device, you get a free battery
Same issue for me, it drove me nuts. Turned out to be a faulty battery when sent off to HTC/Vodafone for repair. They replaced it so I wonder if it's a known issue.

This.
My phone used to shut down randomly and I searched and found out that it is due to the bad design of battery placement in this phone. All I had to do was put a small piece of paper and it has never shutdown till then.
I'm definitely going to try this, I've been getting lots of resets and I'm relieved it's not a rom issue
edit: how many times did you guys fold the paper over?

i had issues with my phone turning off too, had it slightly wet at one point so i took it to a phone repair joint, they replaced a few things charged me and it had the same problems afterwards, a test battery proved it was the bloody battery all along!
the tech there let me know our batteries have a soft edge that when pushed up hard against the battery slot it slightly deforms, seems like a bad design if you look at the battery up close you can see one where the edges get pushed in a bit, (well on mine anyway) the test battery i borrowed didn't have the edges pushed in.
Had this problem too. Paper did the trick.

i used to have this fairly often but it's been a while now. i would fix it by wiping down the screen really well, leading me to believe that it might have something to do with grease or something that gets on the screen. not positive tho..

Well, now that i have installed some mods and other stuff it seemed to have stopped. Don't know why the mods would affect it... I will wipe it down though just to be safe.
It's just the way it is - as it's winter now, and it's cold, it happens to me and my friend all the time, when we are using the phone outside. Screen off and on and it's working for another 30 seconds
yea when its cold outside mine does this as well +4C and lower. I took it apart and re seated the connectors it made little to no diff. when its warm i have no issues at all.
Could also be something on the screen itself - even a screen protector that gets damaged could cause an issue.
Also a case could cause the problem - I've had similar issues with my case/screen protector interacting with the screen.

The same thing is happening to me. I thought I was going nuts! But yes, when it's exposed to cold temperatures (35 degrees or so and lower), the screen can develop a mind of it's own. Kind of sucks in Wisconsin!

I have had this problem with the both the new Q LTE I received when the Q LTE launched, and also with the refurb unit I have received from Sprint.
Is there an explanation of the issue and a fix?
Should I swap it out at the Sprint store for another refurb?
Thanks.

HI
Since last week a small black line started appearing on my screen. It was small last week but now it extends end to end horizontally. It gew day by day. I believe these are dead pixels. Apart from this line, there are small black pixels wlsewhere on my screen also.
My question is what are these & why have they appeared? As I remember these appeared after the phone fell from my hand last week.
Secondly, are there any service centers in Noida/Delhi (India), now that Motorola has stopped operating in Asia?

Do not worry.
It will be alright in few weeks.
I faced the exact same issue.
My phone fell on the ground and there were lot of black dots, a week later those dots were spreading horizontally.
Then later the phone "healed itself"...
The thing is its LCD right, the liquid again flows back in. That's what I think what happened.
So don't be tempted to replace the screen.
Play lot of games, like temple run, fruit ninja, etc...
(but don't rub the screen too hard to break it) Its going to be fine.... :angel: :angel:
Hi I had the same problem 2 months back as my son dropped the phone on the ground. The black lines kept spreading horizontally. I didn't do any repair, but I noticed a strange thing that if I use the phone continuously, as the phone gets heated up lines slowly started disappear. It took almost one month for the line to completely disappear. So don't worry have patience

I don't know if it's a typical Android phone feature or something unique to the Atrix 2, but I did see other threads about how dead pixels eventually revive after usage. It's funny at the same time 'cause it's like the phone can 'heal' itself lol.

Keep it cool Bro...
that'll heal on its own, For a quick recovery there are apps on PlayStore. Install "Dead Pixel Detect and Fix" from play store, run it 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes. You'll see the dead pixels reducing at a faster rate.
If this helps you, a "Thank you!" click would be appreciated

What is the science behind this method? Why will this work?
I have no idea. I was extremely skeptical when I first tried it, and i was really surprised it worked. If you decide to do it, just make sure there isnt a chance moisture will get in the bag. Other people have also met success through this

I have 2 fairly large black spots on my screen. I'm going to try to detect and fix pixel app but I doubt it will work. Has anybody else tried the freezer method?
IF you guys do the freezer method, after taking out your phone from the freezer, you will probably have to dry it off constantly for about 10 minutes due to condensation. Then when its totally dry you can put your battery, sim, sd card etc in.

Yes i have tried kept in under freezer air tight under foil and after one hour taking outside the frezer all black lines were gone in one night i kept onehhour in open because it feelt little wet forme untill the phone is fully dried do not insert battery
Anyone has photos of these black lines, dots? Any before and after pics after doing the freeze method?
My phone, never dropped, absued or roughly used ever! suddenly had a finger tip size round black spot and and remained so since 7 months now Motorola support declined to honor the warranty. Its difficult to know who calls as the location of the spot is top left.
Don't worry bro keep your phone in an air tight plastic bag and put it in freezer for 3 days . Your problem will be solved . I was also having same problem . But after this method now every thing is fine.

Yesterday dropped my Atrix 2 twice in quick succession, its not a common thing that I drop my phone. Today morning when I check my phone , I found lot of black lines in middle of the screen.
Did know about this thread and the refrigerator method so have packed my phone in a plastic bag, put that bag in another bag having rice and put whole pack inside freezer.
Will check the results in the evening.
UPDATE:
Wow! This refrigerator therapy is really magical.
Just took out my phone out of the freezer and turned it on after drying it out. TO my surprise all the black lines have gone
Atleast 25-35% area of the screen was affected by those black lines earlier but now when I checked a white page on the screen, there is not a single black dot on the screen. Who is finder/inventor of this therapy? want to thank him deeply from heart and to all others also who tried it our and posted about it in this thread. :good:

Hey guys, I have a Nexus 5 that was dropped 5 floors down a lift shaft(wasnt me,was me dad,Im extremely careful with my stuff ) .
Anyways the display was still working and there was ZERO damage at all(thanks to the capdase cover that took a mild scratch and saved the rest of the phone, dont ask how).
The display showed washed out colours and a mild dead pixel for a few hours and next morning, it went back to normal like nothing happened.
This phone was used for 3-4 more weeks with minor washed out colours from time to time that went away after leaving the phone alone for a while until yesterday when it suddenly went crazy and became extremely washed out with a pinking-purple hue but still usable , which once again went back to normal once again after leaving it in standby for an hour, to my shock.
I love the Nexus 5 and I swapped out the data and sim to the Redmi Note 3 just to be sure since its for a parent and I decided to keep the phone to experiment and repair DIY style if possible since the phone is an absolute legend.
So my question is , is this a display issue, display ribbon issue, motherboard issue or the charging cable assembly thats at fault(saw it on youtube, helped some people for some reason).
I dont mind spending a bit for a new display but Im skeptical of fakes and I dont want to waste money without any solution.
My last resort is to sell and buy another Redmi Note 3 but I dont like its camera, thats the only drawback and I already have one RN3 in the household.
Any suggestions?
Keep in mind this phone is still working and again shows no signs of display issues and it comes and goes randomly and even when it does, it doesnt affect working or anything at all and is fully operational.
Mods sorry if its the wrong section or something, Im new here. couldnt see anyone else with the same issue as me either, so created this.
Have you opened it and checked the connections? It might be functioning, but it is faulting, something is dying. 5 floors is quite a drop, something must have gotten bashed up in the fall. Seems it would be difficult to pinpoint what exactly, but at least you could check connections on the motherboard.
If the connections look okay, my best guess would be a screen replacement. I have replaced 4 phones with a display from Aliexpress. Yes, the Aliexpress screens don't look as good as the original but it is sometimes hard to spot the difference unless you have the Ali screen right next to an original screen.
Maybe is the flex, displays are so boolean, they dont **** for no reason and when they do, theyll do it forevah i thought.
But walter-ver (like a chinese said), u can try to force any kind of error by messing with the phone while is on, i mean touching and moving the flex to isolate the problem and then proceed.

Recently when ive been on my LG stylo the screen on my phone will suddently get whiter within time, then eventually go back down to the regular colors. And before anyone tries to respond thinking i am a dumb ass, THIS IS NOT A BRIGHTNESS ISSUE!!!!!
I can not replicate when this happens as it happens randomly. But to further describe my problems, every once in a while my screen will get whiter (as if someone were to turn up the contrast on your tv [which is why this is not a brightness issue]) then a little while later it will return to normal. It almost looks like my screen is attempting to burn-in an image.
If anyone knows what is happening please tell me. I can not post any pics of this phenomenon unfortunately as i can only use the screenshot feature and as everyone that is here should know, screenshots wont show any problems.
Hello, I have an LG Stylo 2. I've had the same thing happen a few times during this winter. I would go and touch the screen and it would turn white. Later it never happened again. I thought the screen was going bad. I think I correlated it to static electricity. I twas cold and dry in the office. When I touched the screen some static discharge possibly charged the screen??? Is it happening often. First time it happened I took the battery out and let the phone rest for an hour. After puttiing back together it didn't do it again.
oh wow. I have had this issue numerous times on my stylo in the past month, and I have en had this issue before on my iPhone 5S... Considering LG makes the screens for the iPhone 5S, I wouldn't deny the fact that LG LCD's are weak under low temperatures. Literally eactly what you are describing has happened to me numerous times! I have even had to replace my 5S screen before because of this issue. My advice would be try to warm the phone up by putting it by a heater for a few minutes under your supervision, or wait it out, or maybe you can try to put it under your legs and see if that helps.
It us a know issue with the screen on all stylos best bet goto where you bought it and they should replace it

Yea, ive had the phone for 6 months, and bought it off of ebay, thats not an option.
But for anyone else that would be good advice, granted it happens within 30-90 days. Or have a contract with a carrier. (which i have neither)
