Probably stuck or dead pixel - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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?

Need Opinion on return device.

So I just received my Tab 7.0 Plus from Amazon and it has one small dead pixel. Super small but its there. Should I return it? Its on the right bottom corner and of course only noticeable in dark colors. I'm tempted to exchange it just for that little pixel.
I would return it but ask if they have a policy on it. Some companies put a definitive number of "acceptable" dead pixels (depending on screen size) before it warrants an exchange.
The only standard I know of for sure is Apple because their "acceptable" number is zero(0), as in there should not be a single dead pixel regardless. Amazon probably would accept it though, worth a shot.

have you tried those apps that try to help fix stuck pixels? on my nexus one i thought i had a couple dead pixels but apparently were only stuck pixels. some app i used did some flashing of different colors and the stuck pixels never showed up again.
One thing I like about Amazon's exchange policy is that they'll immediately send you another tablet while you keep the other. Once you receive the new one, all you have to do is send back the defective one. They don't seem to ask questions about it. I totally bricked my tablet when I rooted it and they took it back.
cool.. Suck that Amazon won't have it on stock for 3-5 weeks per their site. I asked wifey and she said it doesnt bothered her and wouldnt even noticed it if I didn't say anything. It was for her so she'll keep it. But If i noticed amazon brings it back in stock soon, I might just exchange.
Dead Pixels are not a good thing
This ISN'T my Transformer Prime
My story with dead pixel shortly.
I bought my GT6200, same night the battery got empty and the tablet start shutting down and at black screen I saw a dead pixel. Next day I was in the market and all I sed was: "There is dead pixel". No one even wanted to see it. The guy sad: "Ooo, it`s normal for Samsung" and gave me another one brand new. I was like this because this behaviour and returning policy is not normal in my country.

[Q] Nexus 5 dead / hot pixels

Hi guys. I have browsed the forum but haven't noticed any post complaining about screen problems (beside one about yellowish screen temperature).
I was bloody excited hearing my package was delivered only to get hugely disappointed by 3 hot pixels on its screen. Two blue and one bright red almost in the centre of the screen.
Does anybody else found this problem? Or it's just me being unlucky?
Do you have any experience with google regarding to replacements? Is it stress less process or I will have to be prepared for lots of stress?
If you had device replaced was the new unit fault free?
Sorry but I am former Samsung customer (8 Galaxy note8 replaced due to dead pixels) I almost gave up hope for dead/hot pixels free displays

I've got 7 dead pixels on my Nexus 5. Going to phone them in a little, I'll keep you updated.
Be patient. I have spent almost 15 min listening to classic music on hold. They have asked for evidences -so I have sent them photos and still waiting for their decision.
Will keep you posted.
I was on the phone less than 10 minutes. Exchange an email with a couple pics attached, showing the defect on my device. Then, 30 minutes later, had another reply with all the information needed to receive a replacement. And keep the current device until the replacement arrives. For me, great service. Defect is like a leak under the front camera. Where it should be all black, there is a little hole that leaks light from the display. Odd.

I have no dead pixels but yellowish screen temp on low brightness. But this will settle with time, it is the glue that needs to dry out. It was the same with my n4.
One dead pixel
I have one dead pixel, almost in the center of the screen. However, at this resolution it's hard to notice, I think I'll keep it, I don't want to wait for an replacement.

Shoot why it takes them sooooo long in my case? Still nothing. I have received e-mail from them. Replied with some photos and still no reply it's been already 4 hours and you had it all sorted well below 1 hour mark
Just got off the phone with Google. I got a "high call volume" warning but was only on hold for 7 minutes. My guy was very helpful and said they'll send out a replacement which *should* be with my by the end of the week. I keep my current Nexus 5 until then & send it back in packaging the new one comes in. Just waiting on a confirmation email now that this is what's happening.
Edit: Email received & replacement ordered. Fairly painless process so far! (touch wood)
I have one tiny green stuck pixel just under the status bar. It's only visible on dark backgrounds with high brightness so it doesn't bother me.

9 dead/hot pixels here, mostly in the corners of the screen. Called Google and was told to restore my device (I was on it at the time). They told me they'd email me the instructions and for me to call them back. I had already restored from Bootloader and I don't think my guy understood the difference between software issues and hardware.
Anyhow, new one is on the way, hopefully this one doesn't have any issues because I really like the phone.

Its not faulty, Google are only changing them out of goodwill, all companies have dead/stuck pixel polices and the higher the resolution the more dead/stuck pixels are allowable before the panel is deemed faulty.
I tend to disagree with you. Yes companies have their policies regarding to dead pixels and how they will treat the claims but do not forget about customers rights. For me dead or faulty pixel on the screen is not acceptable and if I feel unhappy I can (within 15 days) return purchased device. Of course if will do it this would be lose/lose situation as I will not have new shiny phone nor google my money. Thus they are happy to replace it (as long as it is as new and they will be able to put new stickers on it and sell it again - maybe next customer will not be as picky as me). So it is not really about "good will" as Google is not a non-profit organisation it's well calculated. On the other hand I would not expect such "good will" to replace the device after 15 days tho. But who knows maybe I am wrong

I have brought it from a local store here in Romania.

Got the nexus. And one dead pixel.

First one. White 32gb. And I have one dead pixel.everything else is great. Its not too noticeable and I'm sure there are people out there with worse that do not know.
My question is would you send it back over one if everything else is good and you're happy? To possibly get a worse device?
And if I kept it. My one year warranty can't I send it back and rma on the 11th month if I really wanted?

Hell yea I would send a new device back over a dead pixel, you shouldn't have dead pixel.
Contact google about RMA asap, don't compromise about the level of quality of your device.
With the amount of pixels in these phones its very likely you will get at least one dead pixel. If it really bothers you that much then go ahead and RMA it. Most likely though you will get another device with 1 or more dead or stuck pixels.

This is something you could do of course. I would keep it if it werent near the middle of the screen myself but I would also factor in things such as CPU binning, as well as any other defects like the vibration motor. Don't know how common that is since I haven't visited that thread for a while but if I had a near perfect device with a high CPU binning and the pixel wasn't very noticeable I would accept it. If i had a cruddy CPU binning in i would certainly send it in hoping for a perfect screen and high binning. Its a surprise Google RMAs devices with 1 dead pixel. Most displays have a certain threshold that must be reached and its usually higher than 3.

Same here. I had one dead pixel...so of course did a RMA. I was like you and contemplated dealing with it, but then I realized I didn't get a discount for the dead pixel So the phone should be perfect.
My RMA replacement shipped today.
All depends on what you're willing to live with. There are 2,073,559 other pixels that are working, so, me, I would live with it. Beats going without the Nexus 5 for an unknown period of time.

You would keep your nexus til your new one arrives, so your never without a phone. Plus my RMA took about 5 days to get me a new phone, including a weekend.

Why? If you can get a free replacement with minimal effort on your part, why not?
I have 3 that I can see that are brighter. Look like stuck BUT even though I know where they are, I just can't see them at normal brightness levels. The density is tight enough that dust looks bigger. I am not bothering with RMAs. I guess I am not that picky.
got one dead pixel
got one dead pixel on the nav bar to the left of recent button.
going to replace it today itself.
got it yesterday.!

Does it bother you? If so, then yes. I think you should either way, because even if it doesn't bother you yet, it will play on your mind. You didn't pay for a broken one, even if the defect seems slight!

I don't quite get how spending $400+ and expecting something to be exactly what you paid for is classified as "picky". Maybe you were raised with a silver spoon or something, but this isn't a $10 eBay purchase.
I wasn't "bothered" at all with a simple phone call to Google for my free replacement.
To each his own though.

Two Questions

Part 1 - I want to buy the white styleswap cover and I am aware of OnePlus is selling it next month. However is there any place I can buy just that piece now? I checked OppoMart and nothing there.
Part 2 - I have a pixel that's stuck in one color. It's yellow I believe but who knows maybe its a different color.
I've tried a handful of methods such as Running an color fixer app(handful of them), leaving it off for a long period, hitting it with an object(end of plastic sylus), applying pressure, and that's it I believe.
Any suggestions for those two Questions?
They're nothing you can really do about a dead pixel, apart from having the display changed. An RMA is probably your best bet for that. And I'm not sure where you think you're going to get a Styleswap cover before they've even been released.

Do u at least have any suggestions on what I can try? I haven't tried putting it in the sun or fridge yet(or just placing an ice pack on it.)
Last two things I've seen that could fix it. :/
You said color fixer app but not sure what that is....I had a stuck pixel before and used an app like Stuck Pixel Tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueburn.StuckPixelTool and let it run for quite a while and it took care of the issue. Is that the type of app you meant by color fixer?

Lower half of screen has red tint - replace?

So I noticed today that the lower half of my display has a red tint, and now I can't stop noticing it. It's apparent in both night light and regular display modes. Do you think this is something they will send a replacement for?
It's very noticeable in apps using dark theme like XDA, reddit is fun, and imgur.

You paid premium price for a factory defect... Yes they will replace and you should call... Now

use that premium 24/7 support and report back how it was handled. we're all curious how it goes...
On first attempt, I used the chat function. They kept asking for a screenshot showing the red tint, but a screenshot doesn't work like that. Then after 45 min, I was told that this is taking too long and that I would get an email. I asked about a warranty replacement, and was told that is an option if this doesn't resolve.
I just want a warranty replacement...
I'll just call the Google Store during their business hours, obviously the 24/7 support and the Google Store are two different things.
Keep us posted.
I'll be calling the Google store first thing tomorrow, but in the mean time here is a picture of the issue. It's much more apparent in real life, but you can see the right side of the screen is darker than the left.
Just a quick update, they are sending me a replacement device. Hopefully the replacement doesn't have issues!
Good call. Yea that looks pretty bad, I would have returned it in a heartbeat.
Let us know how the replacement is. I have a XL and the top half has a pinkish hue. I'm debating if I should exchange it or not. I have noticed it on every device I've ever had with Amoled to a certain extent or another. It's for sure not as bad as other devices I've had. I'm debating getting it replaced. I'm just worried if I do the next one will have it worse, or a different issue that's worse. But for the amount of $ we paid for the phone it should be perfect IMO. I'll tolerate it on a $400 device.. not a close to $1000 device ($946 to be exact with tax)
Dunno. Ide exchange. I have had perfect amoleds on my note 5 and 7. Its possible to get a near perfect one.

I have the exact same thin on my Pixel 5 inch. Could it be the adhesive for the screen/digitizer needing time to cure? I read that in several places with some older phones and iphones. I might give mine some time and then send it back if it doesn't settle... Is anyone else having this issue? Or can anyone else confirm if their screens are perfectly uniform using a white screen?
Just went to a Verizon store and noticed the display models don't have this issue, I'm planning to get mine replaced...
Is there more than one factory making pixels? Or are they all made in the same place?
I know with the samsung line i had alot of issues with screens made in Vietnam, but all the phones made in China i had were perfect.

I received the replacement and it does not have the same problem, it has a uniform tint throughout the display. Now to see if they accept the warranty exchange or tell me that it falls within "acceptable ranges" and charge me for the replacement... I doubt they will reject it, but hey, it wouldn't be a possibility if they didn't put that in the warranty exchange terms

I wouldn't worry about getting charged... there were a LOT of 6Ps that got exchanged for the same defect and I never heard of anyone getting charged. I went through 4 Nexus 6Ps before giving up on the lotto and getting a 5X. The issue seems way less prevalent this time around, but OF COURSE my Pixel has an uneven screen. Its not as bad as any of the 6Ps I had, but I've had my Pixel since Monday and I just can't live with it. I ordered my replacement yesterday. So far, everyone that has gotten a replacement between here and the XL forum they have been defect free! Fingers crossed.

I got a replacement and it is perfect. Good luck!
I also sucessfully got my Pixel replaced due to the right 1/3 of the screen being darker and pink tinted. One question though: for those who got replacements, did you send back the accessories (cables, charger) or keep them?
I'd love to have an extra charger...
