All was going well with me and my sensation, once my phone got dropped on hard surface and now splash of green dots (dead pixels?) are appearing on the screen.
Help me to sort it out, I'm not liking to see my sensation in this condition.

HAHA...!! That might be sarcastic reply from the suggester, dont try to do that and i didnt take any special care for that as it was not interfering in my work, and it vanished slowly like a wound would heal
As stupid as it may sound the freezer solution actually works ..just Google ..dead pixels freezer xda ...you'll get tons of successful results ..
Also I myself used this solution thrice on my device ..I got same dead pixels after it has fallen
If you got those dead pixels after a fall then I bet my RC status on this solution that it works
Now what you need to do is
1. Remove battery, sdcard and sim card from the phone
2. Tightly wrap a polythene bag or any other plastic bag such that not even a single drop of water can enter it ( I used rubber bands to keep the wrapped bag intact )
3. Keep the phone in freezer for 6-7 hours ( or for a night )
4. After that take out the phone ..leave the phone outside for 15-20 minutes to let it go to room temperature
5. Pop in necessary stuff and turn on the phone and see the magic
Note: after the above process even if a single dead pixel was left keep the phone back in freezer for another hour ..because if you start using the phone with that single dead pixels ..all the other dead pixels starts coming back during the time you use the phone

Worse? They were worst in my case.. Covered half of screen and I kept the phone in freezer for two nights.. To completely remove them.. And this means yes the process removed the dead pixels completely
Btw iirc I made a post with screenshots of screen with before freezer and after freezer conditions long ago

Tried the freezer technique, left the Mobile in freezer for 8 hrs.
Dead pixels are certainly reduced but not completely vanished.
So I put it back in again. :good:
BTW @ganeshp, How many times you did this to get rid of ur problem with pixels ?

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
Hit thanks if this helps

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:

hi guys,weeks ago i dropped my phone and the screen was cracked (the phone was dropped on the screen side hitting the floor),
yes, the phone is still working and everything seems to be fine except the screen, there was dark lines here and there inside the screen.
there is this thing that worries me that the screen might no longer going to work anymore, i dont know, maybe sooner or later because the cracks seems to becoming worst day by day.
attached together is the figure of this phone screen condition.

Hi everyone . I have been using nexus from about a month now.
Yesterday my phone went completely mad .
I had just come back from washroom and tried unlocking the screen .
My phone didn't even register my touch . the emergency call started itself. Buttons got pressed on it own on my pin screen . it took me ten tries to even enter my own phone . then the home screen wasn't responding. The touch went off calibrated . I tried switching off and on . tried touching power off . airplane mode started and was switching on and off . I finally got it to power off . then restarted it again . no use. Same thing. Tried again. Same . and again. Same .
Finally with great difficulty logged back in my phone and did a factory reset. That too buttons kept pressing itself . I dunno why this happened. I haven't dropped it or anything. I lost all my data . even after the reset it doesn't feel.like it felt first .
Did this happen to anyone else ?? Please help .
Did you get it wet in the washroom?

What this guy said.
Turn it off and come back in a couple days. You should have done this in the first place but hey, woulda, coulda, shoulda, you didn't know. Hope it works for you otherwise it's RMA time.
Try putting it into a bowl of rice for a few nights. This generally pulls all of the moisture out. It definitely sounds like you got some moisture in there somehow.
I've also read somewhere that putting your phone in a bowl of metho will pull out moisture. But do not quote me on that haha.

I had a samsung nexus s and whenever there's moisture on the screen (mostly sweat), it randomly presses anything. So I wipe it off and leave it for a few minutes, then it's back to normal. Didn't happen yet on my N5 though.

Little toddler nephew threw it in a pitcher of water. Sister dried it with a blow dryer and she couldn't get it started to so asked me to try so here I am. She tried to turn it on once about a MONTH ago but nothing since. I'm not sure where to start the trouble shooting so any help would be appreciated. I've taken apart a few devices so I'll be doing that shortly as well.
1) I THINK it's charging but there's no charge indicator at all. A red light came on the first time I plugged it in very briefly but it never came back on again. I'm guessing it's not the battery.
2) I've tried all the button combo to try to get it in various modes, no joy here.
3) The phone vibrates when I hold the power button ( or various button combo ) but the screen doesn't come on.
4) Computer ( Win 8) sees the phone as Nexus 5 but when I click on it, it's blank. The properties show me, LGE, Firmware 1.0, and its serial number. Power source: Battery
5) Several times that I've tried the button combos it would play a little jingle. I'm guessing it's a default LG jingle.
Any suggestions on what the problem will be ? I will probably dunk the thing into alcohol once I take it apart. I'm guessing the display would be the obvious guess but it's a bit pricy to buy just to find out that it's not the screen.
Thanks .
Ahh.. Aren't you suppose to NOT turn it on? You shouldve disassembled it first and extracted the battery then clean and dry. I surely hope it hasn't caused any short circuits from all those multiple tries.
Also the Nexus 5 does not produce any boot sounds.

If you didnt let it dry for at least 24hr min before turning it, then its as good as dead... you maybe be lucky that half the things work but over time, you will find it frustrating not having able to use the full features..

Agreed, but like I said it's not mine. I'm still on a trusty Samsung Galaxy 1.
I'm going to pry it apart just to see.
It may still be able to be saved. Open the device up, take a soft tooth brush and some rubbing alcohol, scrub the whole board, breaking away any corrosion that started to build up. If there are any black scorch marks on the connections, then take a pencil eraser and use that to help get those off.
I've heard of using rice to help absorb moisture in cases like his. Might not help now but can anyone confirm if this is maybe a good idea for anyone else faced with a similar problem?

Bag of rice is the immediate first action to take after water
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I know there are many threads about this but some didn't cover my questions and they don't say what to do when you have done things you aren't supposed to do.
So I dropped it in the toilet, I don't even know how but as soon as I did I took it straight out, dried it with a towel and TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND CHARGE IT. I later found out that I shouldn't have done these things. Anyway afterwards I put it in a container of rice with the lid shut. It seems to be much drier now but still isn't working, however the computer makes a sound when I plug it in. I then went and took the back cover off and saw one of the wires (on the right side) seemed to have a busted resistor, I was wondering if that was the problem and it could be fixed?
P.S. When I charge it all I get is a red light.
I'm from Australia so country related help would be great.
UPDATE: I just plugged it into the computer again and the screen seemed to light up a bit for about 30 seconds and the phone vibrates when I hold the power button.
UPDATE 2: I can hear noises like the screenshot noise and the volume up and down noise.

Sorry about the wrong section I didn't realize that there was a troubleshooting one there. Please use proper English next time.
I am getting notifications and the notification LED is working but the screen just lights up without anything on it.
Keep it a few more days in the rice. I hope you didn't fried it. Do not try to charge or connect to pc yet, don't power on for some time. After 2 or 3 days on rice, try to start it up. If it vibrates but not starting you need to wait some more time on rice or just go to a repair shop. Don't try to charge the damn thing !!!
I had to keep my x10i about 7 days on rice, I almost abandoned it, but it's working just fine now.
God luck.

Thank you, I just took it off charging straight away. Is there a specific way I should do the rice and will it still work if I have been charging it but it still vibrates etc as you described?
Rule number 1 after dropping electronics in water:
turn off and leave to dry for at least 3 days before turning on again.
If you follow this rule, you'll have luck in 80% of the cases.

Should be completely covered in rice. Vertical positioning is recommended, keeping about 2 or 3 centimeters from the botom of the jar ( or bag or whatever ). Shake it slowly every day then put it back on rice. I have no idea if it will work or not, even without charging it, it's about how much water got inside.

Ok, thanks, I don't think very much water got inside, when I opened it there was just a bit on the back cover and some condensation on the front-facing camera.
I hope you get lucky. I didn't disassemble mine completely, just the back cover, battery, sim and SD card, but it wasn't a nexus.

Search for threads about how to clean the board with alcohol so it doesn't corode.
More than likely you're out of luck cause you turned it on and even plugged it in directly after. It's likely shorted out now.

It seems like everything but the screen is working. As I said it seems like a resistor blew, couldn't I just replace that little cable?

I had to leave my sons iPod touch in rice for two weeks before it finally fired up and started working as normal (even after I charged it and switched it on as soon as it hit wet)

I thought it was also important that you take out the batteries
