When I chose calendar, i got a black pixel on the calendar bar (gray bar, just under the black start bar)...and when I choose Excel or contact, it's gone...but they are same gray background...
Doesnt make sense...my display passed all colors on PocketLCD ???!!!
and my two "stucked pixel" at Contacts are exatcly the same spot as the ones in the GSMARENA screenshot review...this is weird !!!
Anyone care to explain ? Do u have the same behaviour too?

I can at least confirm this. Same pixels occur on my device. No explanation to this here.

Same here on the contacts screen.
I've got the same, and looking at screenshots on the web, it seems specific to the HD.
ie this diamond shot seems OK:

but HD not:
http://i.gsmarena.com/vv/reviewsimg/htc-touch-hd/sshots/extra/gsmarena_004.jpg
Yep, got this on my HD too, weird. Perhaps a quirk of the HTC customisations?
i have a dead pixel too when i start my camera. it's strange because the same dead pixel does not appear when doing something else.
i can also confirme the 2 stuck pixels in contacts manager.
strage ....
I'm not going to look for it - if I see it once, it will annoy me every time I look up a contact.
Sounds a curious little feature though.
Yup had this problem once when i installed GSEN had to delete it because it cause my screen to display a dead pixel when their was none. so try uninstalling programs which might be causing it.
Regarding GSen, that is their way of showing the GSen app is running, small white pixel top dead center of the screen. If you soft reset you'll notice its gone until you re-launch GSen again.

Then, we need a new ROM to fix this issue... I wont be bother since it's a SW issue not HW one...
I have the same dots in contacts, doesn't look like dead pixels, otherwise it would have shown on the snowpicture on fullscreen.
its just some lame graphics issues when they made it.. dont worry
I've got the same thing, but it doesn't look like a pixel problem. I hadn't noticed it before, now I can't ignore it anymore

Hi,
i just recognized a blue pixel on the screen when i start the cam .
So i downloaded a tool called "smartUDPixel" to check the screen for dead pixels BUT everything looks fine.
What`s going on? Why`s the blue pixel only shown by using the cam? Any reason for that?
Thx for your feedback.
Stefan
I have one white pixel that shows up in while in camera mode and shooting a dark scene. Strange however as its not visible in any other programs.
Same here too addition to one black pixel dead appears when the screen on blue color :S
If you can capture it, it won't be dead pixel on LCD.
Hi
The pixels as per the original poster is something to do with the WVGA resolution I think as I see the same thing on the Topaz, but not on other devices.
Regards
Phil
WOW............are you all talking about those tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny teeeeeeeeeeeeeeny little dots that can barely be seen?
Man my eyes must be **** lol I have them but I had to put my glasses on (there for reading and even then I could barely see them)
Whats the big deal? Flash a new ROM with a different contact UI
And I thought I had OCD lol

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this same problem. When on a white screen like a Google search or aldiko, where the text is displayed portrait mode to the left and right of where text is displayed there are like faint bleed lines where the text is displayed. I tried with brightness all the way up and for the most part they go away but around 50% brightness if you look closely I can see it. Do any of you see the same thing. Just wondering if the amoled screens are like that the Samsung behold II is like that. But godly enoguh in landscape I don't see it. Just portrait. Just hoping nothing is wrong with my cool new phone.
Here are 2 pix of what I see
http://tauruspc.net/pix/1.jpg
http://tauruspc.net/pix/2.jpg
And a better one. Just look to the left and right
http://tauruspc.net/pix/3.jpg
I *JUST* answered your question on google support lol
I have the same thing but mine is definatly not that easy to see.
I just checked and i cant see what youre talkin about so i guess my answer is no
Talk about ironic timing. Weird will look then. And the weird thing is on xda page I don't see in Google support I do. LOL.
Also, I am using Dolphin Browser not default so that may be in play I'm not sure, try downloading it and see if you have the same problem maybe.
Yeh I will do that mainly seems with just black on white portrait mode like Google support. Not xda though.
Wonder if it has to do with power consumption. It takes more power to display white pixels. With the black on the same line maybe those lines with text are consuming less power on the line making the rest of the LEDs on that line of the matrix receive more power, making them brighter?
I tried for about 10 minutes to make that as unconfusing as possible lol
Makes sense. Weird only on portrait not landscape. but just spoke with HTC and they say that haven't heard of any problems like that and can send this in get a problems like that and can send this in get a temp one while they fix it and then switch around again
haven't seen much improvement setting manual brightness either.
I get the same thing, I think it is simply a scaling artifact. When you double tap to zoom the lines are no longer visible.
You can see this effect in the boot loader, but only adjacent (the right of) to where there is text at the left. if you look down where there is no text, and just white space, the ghosting lines across the white are not present.
either way, doesn't really bother me, you really have to look for them to see them.
Yeh double checking I see it there too. So yeh just not me then. Probably just amoled tech. the kind of blinky static lines is what bugs me. Don't happen that often and still kind of have to look to see those but since I have been using heavily since I got it about every 4- 5 hours I see where it gets like static lines horizontally about one pixel think blinky faintly in random spots all over the screen but kindof like static or noise from chip shielding or bad power frequency.
Hey didn't really read anything abouth this, but the os part of the phone from samsung is really getting to annoy me. It's pretty ugly and doesn't look good...
I am wondering if I am the only one with this. Is it the screen or is it just not well made? Because it also looks like some banding.
I will give some examples but you can see it everywhere...
Like the battery icon when your phone is off and you are charging, wtf is that? It's banded like wth...
Also these two next examples are bad. Can you check if yours is the same?
It seems with a screenshot it's pretty normal on my laptop screen. On my phone it's not like that. How are these examples with your phones??
In this first pick, look at the grey from every different alarm. On my phone it is very banded!! Not smooth at all like this picture, some pink lines in between and stuff...
Here you should lok at the grey of the keyboard. And the green telephone button. Doesn't look smooth in my phone.
I also have a question abouth, some burn in? When i pull down the pull down menu/notification bar, and I watch the bar where your thumb is up, it chancges slightly in color i noticed. When i look closer, i could see that what is behind the bar is visible for abouth 10-15 sec and than it fades. So i could read the word contacts pretty good, when i pulled it all the way down, so it's kind of a burn in for sometime? Is this normal and can ohter people check this on their phone? Thanks
Yes I agree it's pretty ugly, use go launcher, go contacts and go sms pro, much better looking...

Yeah ok, the look is something else, everybody has it own taste.
But i was talking abouth the banding on the grey of the numeric keyboard, and the alarm for example...
At these screenshot they look pretty normal, but on my phone they don't look like that...
So is it the screen that make them look like that???
Do these things look the same on your phone screen as on your pc screen? Or do you also have banding on these things?
PC screen is not the phone screen stupid to compare them .
For what is worth I see no banding on Dialpad on phone likewise ringer volume .
jje
There is a topic about the banding, I think it's a software issue it probably doesnt use 24bit color depth, just use go contacts/dialer

Yeah i know it's stupid. But you should think it is optimised for the phone.
On the dialpad I see banding on every number's grey "button".
And it is not the ringer volume, that was an accident when i made the print screen, I accidently pushed the ringel volume at the same time.
It's the grey from every alarm, very banding on my phone...
So if you don't have it, my screen is defect?

Factory reset first to clear any problems .

I am sure the screen response will loosen up over time. I noticed too initially but it's all okay now.
I remember first two weeks of my tv was almost painful to watch while the pixels caught up with the action. Maybe oled isn't much different to lcd in that respect

Hi- this screen never appeared before and now it does -.- tried wiping factory resetting and this image wont go away from my homescreen. Idk what happened please help looked everywhere of how to remove this but no one has had this issue. This never appeared on stock until after i unlocked my bootloader and installed cm. Tried to use the repair assistant and its still there.
edit: idk why it does not show in my screenshots. here are some photos taken from my iphone... hard to show but there is a white line that is in the background of my homescreen. Shows an sms icon slightly transparent. Annoying **** to look at when I take pics on snapchat. As you can in google playstore and the snapchat photo a SMS icon appears behind the mic in play store and under the switch to facecam icon in snapchat. Does anyone know a fix??
I still have no idea what you are talking about.

lol. ok before on my screen it will be normal fine no graphical errors no visual glitches. pictures wont show it for some reason but if you had my phone in my hand it would show up as SMS icon at the top of my screen like right below the navi bar. Shows up in camera and on my snapchat. Never happened till now. Idk if my screen got messed up or if its the constant switching of roms etc that gave me that glitch. its like a white line that separates the navibar and the rest of the screen at the bottom shows a menu bar on the left corner and some icons. its very transparent under the homescreen display like if the stock rom overlapped
like it shows a small phone screen is under the home screen. in the background- get me?
It's screen burn in. It happens with amoled screens if they are left on a static image too long. You can try some burn in fix tools in the play store. That's why you don't see it in your screen shots it's a hardware problem.

thank you! do you recommend any that would work?
I've looked all over this forum and elsewhere but i was not able to find any solution to this issue.
I recently bought this phone brand new and I'm having an issue that can be seen in the pictures.
Any text white on black background or darker background shows this shadow type of thing and if anyone has any solutions for this please help.
it is showing in the applications and even on the drop down notification panel, white icons show the smear across the screen.
If this is in a wrong place i apologize.
here are two better pictures where you can clearly see the shadows

You have hardware problems... to be sure, perform a factory default, but I am guessing it will still be there. Return the device for a replacement or send it in to Moto for repair, you cannot fix this with software.
Get it replaced from Motorola before it's too late.
Thank you good sirs your help is much appreciated. I bought it at Best Buy hopefully they will exchange it.
I came from an S7 EDGE and I just got my OP5 and there's something I hate about my new phone. Every photos videos on YouTube, Reddit , internet in general looks washed out. The colors are good but when you pay attention, you can see the same artefacts you see on a highly compressed video/photo. In other words, the screen looks like it's not even a 8 bit color panel. Do you guys know a solution about this? I never saw this problem on any phone ( I'm a cellphone seller in Canada ), not even on my S7 EDGE, Alcatel IDOL 3, Nexus 5
Maybe it's because it's pentile or something
You might want to change the screen calibration method under settings / display and see if that helps at all.
Unfortunately the problem is still existent. Look at the uploaded screenshot with your phone The colors on the dialer supposed to be gradient but it's not. That my problem .

The dialer looks lighter at the top and darker at the bottom--are you saying there isn't enough transition between the two or that the colors in the screenshot are inaccurate? You might want to do a search for gradient android dialers (which should have screenshots) to verify the problem is with the phone rather than with the specific app you are using. All of the gradient screenshots I pulled up looked fine on my phone but the color changes were a lot more subtle than the one you provided. It's possible you have a bad display or that it's calibrated incorrectly for some reason. I've never noticed any problems with the colors on my OP5 and never read a complaint similar to yours.
You might want to make sure Night Mode or Reading Mode aren't on in settings because both would affect the colors.
Also make sure ambient display is off to verify that isn't doing anything screwy.
Have you rooted your phone or installed a custom kernel or anything like that? Do the colors look exactly the same when you boot into safe mode?
I see the banding in the dialer (the background where the dialpad is). Given that it's a screenshot though, that part is likely to be how OnePlus designed the dialer app (screen issues wouldn't show up in a screenshot).
