Hi guys,
I got my XL yesterday but I have just noticed a bright white small dot appears on my screen on black background but it is not visible in other colors
Is it a dead or stuck pixel ? Really needs help regarding that so I can check with the store to replace it if it is a defect

Try doing factory reset and check if it's going .
But I think it's a defect , So rush to Sony Service center soon and get the device "Replaced" .
If customer finds a defect in Sony mobiles within a week , then they have a policy to replace the device.

Thank you for your reply but I got it from a local shop.Do you think it can get worth or it may affect my phone ? I have read some posts saying that if it is not annoying you and you can live with it;then don't replace it.I am really afraid this option will be also hard as it was last piece available in the store and I believe it will be hard to replace it ?
PS: it is really so tiny white dot but I don't know if that means something wrong is there or just a small defect ?
and thanx again for your reply

have it replace, asap! that tiny white dot should not be included with the purchase of your unit.
a defect is a defect. if thats the last piece available. ask for a full refund. it could be the last piece because it has already been checked by someone and didn't get it.
btw, have you checked if the box is sealed and opened in front of you?
just my 2 cents.

First of all-thanx for your reply but all I meant that I have checked many stores in my area and they don't have it
So the problem now that I don't want another phone nor a refund.Also I don't trust repair center as they may get it worse !
It really doesn't annoy me but the only question I am worried it can be worse or affect my phone in the future ?
and again-really thank you guys-your community always helpful for android noobs like me :good:
if its ok with you or it doesn't matter you, then its fine.
my point is, of course we bought it with our hard earned money. we deserve to have it defect free.
I believe, it comes with a warranty? if it does goes worst. then have it warrantied

Yes it is really hard earned money but the point I am worried about if it can get worse through the warranty and is it dangerous or a sign of a bigger problem ? Waiting for you advice
PS: I love this phone and it is perfect for me - I don't even want to replace it with Galaxy S3 Mini which I believe is not as good as Xperia L

I came from S3 mini before having this Xperia L. All I can say is, XL is way way better than my previous one.
Rest assured that your XL will do fine, if your ok with that little tiny white dot. Unless of course bigger problem arises. Then thats the time you bring it for warranty. Sony service center will take care of it.
Does the store have the 7 days replacement policy or a full refund? If yes, I'd rather bring it back and wait for a replacement or have it refunded. And buy with other stores. For you to have peace of mind with your beloved XL.
Good luck.

Hi guys, yesterday i recieved my OPO and i noticed that there is a little dark point ( watchable only on white screen) which probably is a stuck or dead pixel. The point is very very little and amost unwatchable during normal use , but i m very finicky......what can i do? Is possible to obtain a replacement of the phone for only one pixel? Thanks for your suggestions!!!
Only OnePlus can answer that question, there's no point asking here because nobody here is an employee of OnePlus. If it is defective though, they should cover it under warranty.

But no one bere with a similar situation? Just no know if there is a possibility to obtain the change. I have already opened a ticket on OPO official site, but no reply at now.
Basic warranty policy states that if a device is defective out of the factory you are entitled to a replacement.
Transmitted via Bacon
I have a dead pixel too - but honestly - is it worth making such a big deal out of it?! Why don't you just live with it and save you all the trouble? It's not worth it in my opinion - what if you get another device with a yellow band in exchange? That would be worse wouldn't it? There are bigger problems than just one dead pixel - if it were green all the time that would be much worse.

ugh I have the same situation with my new oneplus one, this didnt happen on my old one but there is a dead/stuck pixel near the top that is green usuallly very hard to notice but sticks out like a sore thumb on black backgrounds. i am just going to deal with it unless it gets much worse is there any way to fix it short of replacing the hardware?
my co-worker has 1 stuck pixel, like you, its only visible on a white background. OPO's defective policy is only for 3 pixels or more. he ended up selling it on craigslist for the price he bought it at.
I have the exact same issue and feel the same way, though I haven't bothered with a ticket yet because I feel lucky to even have one given the extremely short supply. They haven't made a specific statement on dead pixels in the FAQs, but here are a couple close ones:
What is your warranty & return policy?http://oneplus.net/support/answer/what-is-your-warranty-return-policy
What should I do if I receive a defective product?http://oneplus.net/support/answer/what-should-i-do-if-i-received-a-defective-product
Other than that, thishttps://forums.oneplus.net/threads/dead-pixel.68381/#post-3362283 is about the most useful statement I could find from any admin on the topic. >.<
You can also do like I might and wait for your shared invites to come in, use one to buy a new phone, then sell your current one on eBay or something. Just be sure to be honest about any issues with it. Given the low supply you'd probably still get darn close to retail for it.

Stuck pixel here
Though I bought the phone nearly two months back, got it only today from a friend travelling from the US as my country is unsupported yet for shipping.
I discovered a white stuck pixel that stays on in any damn screen when the phone is on.
Pete Lau was drumbeating so much about being very strict with quality, but if so many people are complaining about the screen, this is not good.
Depending on whether the pixel is actually dead (meaning it either gets no power or shortened) or stuck (crystal can't rotate) you may be able to revive it. There are applications for that purpose in the Play store that very quickly toggle through several colors in the hope of jiggling the pixel free - leave it running for a few hours and check if the screen is fixed.

Hello! Yes!
I have a stuck pixel at my opo. I can just give you one advise. Don't change it. Just don't care about those pixels and more important: Don't search dead pixels. I wad also like you, and so i ordered 3x htc one x, 3x galaxy s3 and all of them had dead pixels or stuck pixels. Also my galaxy s4 had one, and my lg g2! So every ****in phone has them. It's like a big joke and you need very good luck to get one without.
So now i have my opo, and also have 1 stuck pixel. But you know what, i don't care. You have to learn this.
Otherwise you'll be going crazy. Just be happy with your phone. In some time you will get another phone anyway.
So pfff.

Yup! Stuck pixel here, it appeared after having the device for less than a day, it's 1 red pixel, so it's not visible on white background. But dark background its right in my face.
I had a little cluster of white pixels on my m7, never really bothered by it.
The way oneplus handle this, I don't think I'll even bother to try to get a replacement device. Well, that's the price we pay for buying from cheap Chinese manufacturer.

You do know that "3+ dead/stuck pixels" is what major brands also require for replacement?
When its completely dark, and the notification button lights are on, I can see light coming out of the bottom bezel (this is the part where the bezel meets the plastic part, between the home and back buttons). Does anyone else see the same problem? Should I ask for a replacement?

It does sound like a defect. Flipkart anyways has a return policy, right? I think you can return it and get a new one if that's permitted.

Yes it looks to be a manufacturing defect.
You can probably talk to the customer care guys in your area to get a solution on this.
Or just ignore this as other users do.
I have placed a replacement order and flipkart customer care called me and informed me that the courier agent will come and pick up the phone in 3 days. Once they take the phone to the service center and if the phone is 'eligible' to be replaced, they will send a new phone within 15 days. I am just curious if this is worth the effort as i have read in some other forums that someone else got yet another defective piece as replacement.. What do you guys think?

Did you talk to the customer care people for replacement or flipkart?
Im one of the lucky customers who got to try 3 Mi 4i devices! lol.. First 2 devices had the same defect and as a last bet, i went with another replacement instead of refund. Luckily, Im now holding the third device which is defect free
Edit:
For me, replacement was no hassle. Initiated replacement in Flipkart, Rep called me to confirm and next day, they delivered a new device and took the defective device. When I placed replacement req for already replaced device, Rep told that they wont provide replacement second time and instead he was ready to process refund. But I insisted on getting replacement for which he accepted and sent the replacement the very next day. I guess the city where you live in matters.. and I live in Bangalore.
I also got a replacement, but the new phone also has the issue. But its less prominent and I have to stare hard at the phone to see the gap. Anyway, I just decided to live with it and turned off the button notification so that's not a bother any more....

Hi everyone, i've noticed that this device is very very weak on the body ..
Let me exain this correctly..
2 days ago i drop my A9 from my bed to the floor ( 50 cm) and the screen turn into a very ugly face... i mean pixel issue like old television when u search frequencies..
I was very scary and i noticed that i just needed to make a pression on the screen to get back the clean pixels and the normal screen..
I think i must get back the A9 to HTC to get another one or repair it..
But this thing is very very weird...
First time i get this kind of things from an HTC device...

I beleive It was a big fall which causes the big issue
If it's unlocked u.s version then it's covered under oh'oh warranty
HTC A9 is very beautiful device but the glass is curved 100% covering the front facing of the phone
This gives absolutely no chance if it falls on any side of the front
Good luck

It was very weird because the falling was very small.. i was amazed when i saw how much this device is weak..my old m7 had a big fall and never turn this way.. personally i'm from france andhtc told me to send the device to get it repair but personally i prefer to get a new one.. but it's impossible in my case because i bought it on Cdiscount and they told me that the warranty is available only for the htc themselves..
Now i wonder if i send it to repair or keep the device and buy a case :/..

Hey Guys I just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 Orchid Grey.
It has only been a day and I love the phone but I was so disappointed to see that the phone suffers from light leak.
There is light bleeding from the bezel between the front camera as shown in this picture.
Is this normal and accepted? I saw some phones at a demo shop and the black ones didnt have this while the others did.
Do you guys have the same and if so does it affect water resistance?
Shall I keep it or exchange it and get a new one I got to pay 200$ for it.
Have attached pictures of my phone along with a reference picture of better quality.
please do let me know what you think
i had ordered my phone off amazon and noticed the light bleed. searched around and it didn't really find a clear answer to say if its a defect or just something that the phone has. i sent it back to amazon, thinking it was bad, and picked one up from best buy, they were the same price, so no big deal. opened up the new one and was met with disappointment, it looks like its a typical thing for the phones. guess its up to you if you want to just go with it or try again with another one. i did take the one from amazon to a shop to see whats up, they suggested to just return it. if they were to try and fix the gap, the water proofing would have failed. best of luck with it, seems like a good phone so far

Hey thanks for the reply.
So the one you got from best buy does it have the same problem?
Does light reflect and if so where?
This is what samsung chat told me
yes, the best buy model has the same problem in the same area. the light shows at the front facing camera and the iris scanner. i talked to a rep myself and he had suggested that i take it to a repair center.
*the person you talked to could be right, maybe it is just the lens or something.
Go for replacement. Practice the warranty thingy.

I dont have warranty since I purchased it out of the country. The only option i have is that i spoke to a shop seller who is ready to exchanged it for a new phone with warranty and i have to pay 200$. So i am wondering if the new phone i get also has the same issue.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it is normal or not. I'm hoping it is normal, I'm keeping the one I bought from Best buy. I guess in your case it may be worth it to get the exchange, since you'll get a warranty with it. Best of luck with everything!

No, I don't know anyone with the same phone. The light comes directly above the front facing camera and the Iris scanner.
I do not have this issue here, so I would say its a manufacturing defect, and they are aware about it, and they actually try to make it look like its normal.

You must having it increase your brightness to max and keep a white background/wallpaper and then check.
I just went to a Samsung Service Center and first he told me that it was normal and not an issue then i insisted on showing me another phone so he showed me a device whose repairs he had just concluded with a brand new screen and that phone had the same issue! not an issue its just reflection apparently.
