Ok, so I am on my second One X now and both have had more than 1 dead/stuck pixel. You probably have some too and just haven't noticed it yet. The easiest way to check is to set the brightness to max then set the background to full black (you can get dead pixel testers from the market). You will see small bright spots. Look closely and maybe you might have to tilt the phone to slight angles to catch the sub pixels.
One phone I have has 13 bad pixels and the other has 3. Terrible QC.
My second replacement device had a handful of buggy pixels. They would flash on certain backgrounds. Got my third replacement, and it is perfect. I have no intention of painstakingly examining for ones I can't see. If I can't see them I don't want to know about them.
Rabble rabble rabble.
If i have to do all that to notice them then I am not worried about it.

The thing is you will eventually notice them and then by then it might be too late to exchange it. It's not like setting the screen to max brightness and a solid black background is something that will never happen on your device...
I have only one. I can only see it if i look for it hard though at an angle. Not enough for me to go out and replace risking a worse one. But kinda discouraging... Still in my 30 to decide if to keep in general

No no, it really is.
I have zero. I have ocd about dead pixles and have been checking every other day

I must have got lucky because my One X doesn't seem to have any dead or stuck pixels. I remember my PSP having multiple stuck pixels and that drove me crazy each time I used it because a couple were in the middle of the screen.
my first one had one dead pixel and back light bleed on the bottom, replaced it and my replacement is perfect.

No dead pixels here. Like davis, I had a stuck pixel on my PSP and it drove me nuts (replacement screen i got for 40$ from hong kong so nbd) Theres a tiny scratch in the glass of my Captivate which holds skin oil and refracts different colors like a CRT screen would do. That is by far much more annoying to me.
I got my phone yesterday and didnt notice it then, but now I see a dead pixel right smack in the center of the screen. It only shows on much lighter backgrounds, but my eyes keep gravitating to it. I might have to get it replaced. I hate that because I have my phone completely how I want it set up right now.

exactly what i was thinking
I found one that I can see ONLY when I use a screen test app on black background in the top right corner...going to exchange it. It's free to do so...so why the hell not?
Wow. This thread had me worried, as I've not closely examined my display yet.
I used a dead pixel tester from the market. Set brightness to 100%. The app cycled through several colors, including black and white.
I have 0 dead\stuck pixels. What a relief
No dead pixels for me either!

Dude, I remember buying the original psp on launch from my local bestbuy, bought the extended warranty they offered for up to 2 years and took my psp back to them after a 1.5 years and switched for a brand new one. My problem was 2 dead pixels on the bottom of the screen.
I've got one dead pixel. Either that or it's a piece of dust. Prolly dust since it's grey and doesn't really light up. Luckily it's in the top left corner and I have a grey widget there. You can't really see it.
*looks for it*
Actually... I can't find it today. It was there before, I swear.
Maybe it was actually dust....

Checked the first day. Found none. Not going to be obsessively looking for one at this point. Had a little light bleed at the bottom, but i turned off the backlight on the capacitive buttons. I prefer it that way. Better reading/watching experience in dim environments.
Found one in the upper right corner. Impossible to notice unless I have a dark background present. Added with the fact that the screen is super high res its so small that I could care less.
I'm not going to risk receiving a phone with more problems for 1 dead pixel which I barely notice.

I'm on my 3rd (and final) One X but all three I've had haven't had any dead pixels.
Btw can someone post a picture of what the light bleed looks like? I'd like to know if mine has it but I don't know what to look for. Everything seems ok.
I gave my sensation to my wife 6 months ago and got a note 2. The sensation is s off running a elegencia rom. Same rom for at least 6 months... yesterday my wife put the sensation in her bag and when she took it out it had a very tiny bit of moisture from a kids cup on the screen protector, but the phone would not turn on. I dont think its water damage bc there was no moisture anywhere else. I took apart the phone and there is no moisture. When I try to power the phone on, there is just a little bit of back light on the bottom left of the screen, but nothing else. It wont boot to recovery. I think its a hardware problem. ....
It is doing exactly what this person describes:
https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v2/discussions/30576
Any suggestions?
Anyone?
After switching batteries and trying over and over, it finally powered on enough to see it, but its just dark now....
if it is the screen or digitizer going bad, why would i be able to see it a little now? It is exactly like in the link that i posted...
any suggestions please?

Can you access your bootloader.
I can now, as now i am able to power it on after switching batteries a few times. now it boots normally, but it is really dark and poor resolution...guessing its hardware? If so, what would accessing the boot loader help with? the screen looks really fuzzy and low quality and sometimes when i turn the screen off, it just stays black again......Guessing the LCD is going bad????

Your going to have to replace your LCD or buy another used sensation.

I had an Ericsson that got water damage, and it slowly got more functional. After about 3 days was completely back to normal. But that was in 2004 lol, ..don't know if phones are more resilient now, or less.
Good luck.

So, back on track...
I got the new LCD screen and digitizer and installed it...Nothing....its not working....so it must not have been the LCD...
Should i just trash the phone?
Is this for waranty or not, device is old 2 months and yellow spot appears on lcd?
Bump
Anyone know does this issue cover warranty? I mean will sony accept this and fix my device?
I've got the same issue on mine, but rather worse and mine is nearly a year old. Had no issues up until about a month ago an then there was a small issue and it's been gradually getting worse and worse.

Yeah my damn phone same deal, I just posted a thread as well, right by the change port, interestingly enough if I hold the phone in my hand when I would go to lock push the power button, my thumb is right where this mark is as well, so I am now wondering if the slight side pressure over time has done this.

Possibly, it can't really be charge port related in my case as i don't use. I haven't plugged the USB into my phone for about 4 or 5 months now. I always use a dock/cradle with magnetic charging in it.

I sent mobile today at t-centar,now i need to wait and see will they accept warranty fir this. Il report back when i get device
I've just had mine repaired for a very similar discoloration under warranty. My screen also started to lift - there's some conjecture that the discolouration is the glue melting!
Had mine delivered back to me this morning after sending it back for this issue. Came back repaired with new screen protectors and new bezle fitted. Through warrenty
guys, can you pelase confirm it the replaced screen is the same as the original? I had it replaced but the screen I got is not the same as the old one..while viewing in extreme sunlight, i could clearly see the LEDs on the display...but now all i see are vertical dots...seems like they fitted a chinese display that looks exactly the same...

Mine had dots before I sent it away and the screen it came back with also has dote, although now they seem less visable. They were extremely noticable before. Also, my pictures look amazing compared to before.
Before sending it away it was on 4.4.4 but now its on 5.1.1 so weather that has something to do with it or not I dont know.
Ok finally got device back, i got completely "new" unit, only motherboard is my old one..so full cover, digitizer and lcd is new one.
Hello,
I saw this few minutes ago, and haven't seen it during all the week end though i was playing with my S8+...
What do you think about it ?
Thanks for your comments and/or advice...
Is that a sort of software thing, or a defect with your screen ?

I agree. I've been seeing over on xda and reddit people with dead pixels, half black screens, laggy scrolls and the famous red tinted screens as well. Unfortunately i have the red tint issue and I'm getting a replacement on the 28th. Setting up is a headache... i wasn't expecting these much screen problems at all.
Yea screen is bad. Probably glue down with to much pressure right there. Exchange it under the 14day return
Hi guys,
2 weeks ago I replaced my nexus 5 screen and battery. Everything was fine till I noticed some white dots on the screen. I don't know whether I should make a complaint letter or do something with it by myself. I read that it may disappear after some period of time but I'm not sure about it. Do you guys know what is it? And how could i fix this? ;c
I also have a photo of the screen but can't add this here because I'm a new user...
if you mean discoloration, (some screen areas brighter than others) you should try to get a refund and replace the screen if possible
