So the other day i got a call on viber (a calling app) and when you get a call the status bars not transparent so it was still black anyway after the phone call i noticed a black dark pixel on my status bar and it annoyed me it was on my home screen, on the play store. If i watched a video in full screen or a white screen i couldn't see it. Anyway i gotta viber call again and thru the black status bar i seen the same black dot glitch like it couldn't turn the pixel off anyways it magically fixed. Well it was gone till i woke up this morning it came back, it looks like a dead pixel or a dark grey pixel or something. What should i do. I have 12 months of waranty from wanda mobile but im not sure it will do anything
You sure it's not the proximity sensor?

It's hard to say if this is really a dead pixel. If it's really really tiny dot then it is probably a dead pixel.
Other wise it could be a glitch from a app causing a black dot on screen which isn't impossible.
So try removing viber completely and see if it stays if it does then it's probably a dead pixel or stuck pixel. But if it disappears immediately and never returns then there is a bug in viber app causing it to do tiny dot on your screen.

I just uninstalled viber and rebooted my phone, the dark pixels still there

I had a very similar issue, but in my case it was white pulsing light after Viber call and only when I was tilting the phone. This resolved after reboot.
I would suggest you download a dead pixel checker app from the store and see if it is really a dead pixel. Also, is it always there or only when tinting the screen? Is it constantly there or pulsing / going away and then appearing?
I use this app to check dead pixel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bean.android.screeninspector&hl=en&gl=US

So its not dead because if i watch movies or videos in full screen with nice color i cannot see it but if im in an app with a grey blue, lightblue, etc i can see it. But it bothers me a lot especially considering this was a 1400 dollar phone
Switch screen resolution and see if it does anything. Sometimes these artifacts stick just because samsung is too buggy.

Mine is also on the same place, but mine is proximity sensor like a dot. Your seems like there are some dead pixels around the proximity sensor.
That doesn't look like dead pixels at all. If it was dead pixel it would be clear black dot not ha transparent grayish type of spot. I also checked my note 20 ultra for this by going on gray background and saw nothing like this on mine. So either it's a burn mark that it has burnt something in that the viber app has caused or it's something else.
Download Display Tester from the play store and take some pics with solid colors being displayed. It looks like the aggressive usage of the proximity sensor from Viber has effected that area.

Try to use the software to test dead pixels on grey blue and lightblue background to narrow down the issue.
For me, it happened everywhere and fixed once I rebooted the phone.

When set to auto does anyone have the screen lighten up then darken as you browse through a site?
It is really noticeable when I am on Google+(white background). I don't remember having this happen on my G2. Anyways I now don't use auto.
Just wondering if its normal.

It might be that while holding your phone you cover the light sensor and by that simulate dark surroundings?
I would guess that you have it near some surface. So when it shows white background, the light reflects from surface and the sensor thinks its "bright" outside, so turns on the brightness. As you surf and see some picture or change page (or w/e what doesnt have so much white) the sensor detencs that its not that bright anymore and turns down brightness...
Atleast that would be my guess. Screen does make some light and sensor can get affected by it (its above screen, u can see it true glass).
I noticed this too while playing on the demo at a TMobile store. It was only when I went to the HTC Play or movies or whatever it's called. Some of the movies would darken the screen when they started playing. Kind of odd. I wasn't moving around (changing light on the phone). Just standing there at the counter playing with it.

I have noticed this
This happens to me as well, along with this yellow tint when on low brightness, anybody else getting the yellow tint? Or is it just me?

I believe I have seen this as well. Brief, full screen, yellow flicker/tint.
Happened to me during, or immediately after, the unlock/flash/root process, and haven't seen it since. Happened with a new notification came in, seemed to almost revolve around the notification bar. Is this consistent with what you saw?
This is common amongst a lot of light sensors. Happened to me on my Vibrant and when I had a iphone.

I think my nexus 5 may have a dead/stuck pixel bunch. It is in the navigation bar on the bottom left corner (see picture) and it bugs the heck outa me. it did it out of the box but im only just now noticing it. only shows up on solid black background (hence the nav bar) and on a few other certain solid colors. it isnt terribly visible when im in is on a multicolor image, but its annoying. i dont really want to have to return it as i may be waiting 4 weeks for a replacement!
i guess i could wait til they restock then call about the issue and get a replacement quicker? If anyone knows any fixes, im all ears. Tried rebooting, changing brightness, and running a dead pixel fixing app for about 10 minutes

dead pixel is dead pixel and no fix for it
all apps that named dead pixel fixer is fake they might work for stuck pixel but not for dead one.
however the black/white means dead pixel
stuck pixel will show a color.
:good:
My Moto G LTE has a stuck pixel. It appears white on background colors such as red/orange/yellow/white and disappears on background colors such as green/blue and black. Does this mean its broken or stuck? Or is it a software issue?
Also is this common or should I look to replace my phone? I have it for about 3 weeks now.

This is a dead sub-pixel(s), prolly a blue one. Basically it's not a big deal and they may even refuse to change it under warranty. If it doesn't annoys you too much, then just keep using the phone as normal and after a while you won't even notice it anymore.
Of course, using your warranty should be your first resort.
I don't really know what is happening but my year old nexus 5 seems to be developing a display problem.
It got a yellowish tint at the bottom of the screen but the top 3/4 is totally fine. What is causing it and is it just me who have this problem? Also, if you have any, please post some solutions to the problem without RMA or replacing anything.
It might be something about light leak but I am not seeing any when the screen is displaying a black picture.

I have a similar thing but it tends to only be on the bottom 1/8 of the screen.
I tend to find this is because this is the least used area of the screen - being where the soft keys go. Try running it full screen, full brightness on a white page (probably using something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester&hl=en_GB). When you do this, does the yellowish tint fade over time?

By Over Time do you mean 30 minutes or a day? I tried this method before for about half an hour and it does not seems to be working. Will try it again now. But will it really help?
My OCD is killing me. I told myself not to look at the tint and I end up just staring at it.
Hi, just got my HWatch 2, upgraded from LG G Watch R.
one thing ive noticed is that the screen is tinted purple-ish when the standby screen is on. I emailed and tweated Hiawei, email said it was an issue, twitter response said its normal
So I thought id throw it out there, is this something other people have seen? tinted white text when standby screen is on and normal white when screen is on full?
Screen off - tinted
Screen on - ok
thanks
I havent noticed this but this seems normal because if the screen had some kind of problem, it would have been like that in every white situation
but if you tell me which watchface this is, I will try to test it for you :good:
I agree. I think it's fine but wanted to check.its a stock watchface called explorer
