How often is the "dead pixels" problem?

Hi guys!
I'd like ask all of you how often is this problem in Hero series?
I bought one a month ago and it has some stucked pixels, but I heard that the chance of getting even worse phone is bigger, so I decided to keep this one, because these dots are practically invisible during the common work with the phone.
I can see one or two if I set the brightness level to full, but thats my second question- how many of you use brightness on full or you do prefere to keep it on automatic? I discovered that on manual setting the phone loses light sensor function, am I right?

A couple of dead pixels here too... But can only really see them when I boot, so it's ok. So far...
p.s. I use half of the brightness. Full brightness i s great to show off but sucks up too much battery!!!

A few can been on boot on my phone too. Not really a big deal though.

From all opinions I got (plus from the other forums)- here is the statistics:
38 people don't have any/ 34 do have this issue...
Not good for HTC...

Hardly an exhaustive sample! Plus, you're more likely to get "positives" based on the thread title, because it's far more likely that people with dead pixels will read it!
That being said, it is *very* common, and not just on the Hero. You don't need to google for long to find that the iPhone has similar issues.

Yes, you are right, but still.. even those people with this problem are enough evidence that it's something wrong with the quality control. I am not saying that it's happened only to HTC Hero, but it's a big problem in general and I don't agree to give 400+ boxes for getting stucked/dead/bright and so on pixels. This is just kind of thinking, and when the manufactures realize that it would be much painless for us- the clients. It's all about the quality control- in general- monitors, TV's, cameras, laptops...esspecially when the items go above define price. You get it what I mean..there is no room for joking with the clients. Ok, I am gonna change the device- once, twice, three times, but where goes the starting point that has made me convince to buy exactly this model? Nowhere..the same with Iphone, Sony Ericsson, Nokia... We are living in 21st century and the perfection is tide connected with this time..or at least that's my point of view...

The issue is that the yield of 100% "perfect" LCD displays is actually quite low. As this article states (under Quality Control) it is economically prohibitive to throw away otherwise perfectly good LCD panels for the sake of a few dead pixels.
Unfortunately, as it currently stands with LCD manufacturing methods, for us all to be *guaranteed* screens free of any dead pixels, we'd probably have to pay an awful lot more for our devices since many screens would end up having to be thrown away.

Dave

Ive got none however I do have a little light leak in the top right of the display

I have 2. But I dont think they're dead pixels but dust that's visible on the black background with booting. Cannot see them at all with normal use.
If they were completely dead pixels it might have been more nasty.
It's in the nature of fabricating lcd displays. And has been a problem for a long time. Anyway, with my Hero I can't be bothered about it.

If you have stuck pixels, try JScreenFix. Its free from the Market. worked for me!

i had alot on my first device.. i traded it in.. this one has 2.. they only show up during booting.. so i guess its not a big deal

I've had a couple of Heros by now:
1. very visible dead pixel (centered in market search field) -> returned
2. Really large gap on top side of display glass -> returned
3. happy until after 3 months suddenly loads of dust appeared below display glass -> returned
4. dead pixel in prominent place -> returned
5. I'm very happy again. hope that dust will stay away from underneath the display glass.
So, my personal record so far: 4/5 Heros are flawed (3/5 Heros on arrival).
That's really sad as it is such a great phone otherwise.

I've posted about this before, if they appear as bright white specks when brightness is up full (such as during the boot animation) then it's dust, not dead or stuck pixels. You can open the phone up and remove them. I've seen it on multiple handsets, turned out to be dust every time.

In my case the first pixel was permanently green, while it was a red pixel in the second case, definately not dust. (I think these are correctly called hot pixels, not dead ones.)

i hab a dead pixel on the first day after i bought it. But i went to the T-Mobile shop immediatly and they changed my hero with a new one without any problems! With my "second" Hero i dont have any Problems till now. Seems like there are 2 generations of displays!
*edit*
my dead pixel was near the upper left corner and it was totally white. actually you could only see it if the rest of the screen was red or black. but as it was a mistake i changed my hero anyway!

Screen littered with white stuck pixels. HTC policy? Warranty?

My screen is littered with white stuck pixels. Best visible with an all black image and 100% brightness. I don't know if they were there from the start. I guess I was too excited with the HD2 to even notice them at first.
Now I have at least 7 of these stuck pixels and 2 of them are only 2mm apart.
I can't find the policy regarding dead/stuck pixels anywhere. Not on the HTC site (I live in the Netherlands, Europe) nor here on the Leo forums or even trying google.
Does anyone know the dead/stuck pixel policy HTC has in Europe?
I bought the device on december 12th.
It would also be nice to use this thread to find out if more people are having this problem with the HD2.
Thanks!
EDIT: Added a poll. It might be nice to know how many of you are suffering from dead pixels to get an idea of the quality of the HD2 LCD screens used.

From what I've read in another thread, someone spoke to HTC when they had 1 dead pixel and HTC said they'd need 10 before it was a warranty issue. Personally, I think it should be an issue if there's any dead pixels, especially when the thing is only a month old!
Get in touch with them and see what they say themselves.

I'm waiting for an answer from HTC. They are not that fast..
I also read that thread, but to be honest I've never heard of so many pixels needed to be dead to be covered by warranty.
The title of that thread states only 1 dead pixel (which is normally not covered by warranty), so I thought it would be a good idea to open a new one and check out the experience of other xda users.

Found this for the Asia Warranty, and it states on page 4 of this document, http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q...&gl=uk&sig=AHIEtbQJk8yP96b-ddibr9YKV3EYPCjKXg
14. Due to the complexity of liquid crystal displays on handheld devices, dead or bright pixels
may sometimes occur. If the following occurs within 14 days from the date of purchase, then
you can ask to replace the LCD at our authorized service centre.
(a) 3 or more dead/bright pixels (*) anywhere on the liquid crystal display.
(b) If there are only 2 dead/bright pixels, then they must be within 5mm of each other.
(c) However if the conditions listed below occur, then this warranty is null and void.
(*) ”Dead pixel” – a pixel on the liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows no light at even
when it is supposed to.
(*) “Bright pixel” – a pixel on the LCD that shows only 1 color (usually white) and no other
colors at all.
What (C) refers to I don't know.... the 2 conditions below are knackered pixels! Give them a ring - on laptops it was 6 or 7 accross the screen, or 3 or 4 towards the centre. I wouldn't tolerate that many on something like a phone, as you're looking at the entire screen all the time.
Good luck

Again a different answer. I hope HTC replies soon.. Someone on tweakers.net told me they look at a % of dead pixels. I think I will give HTC a ring tomorrow instead of waiting for an e-mail.

Wow. I had four of these, the last one I sold still sealed in its box but the other three were perfect with regard to not having dead pixels. How unlucky! If I were you I'd return it for one of the numerous other faults, never mind their dead pixel policy. Say the SMS fault is the issue, or the crackling call quality (if you have it) etc.

Those faults are something to try indeed if they reject the pixel claim.. However the sms issue can probably be fixed with a hotfix.. Can't say anything yet about crackling call audio, didn't use it to call yet. Still playing with it and awaiting my soft resin case + screenprotector
I just noticed another white pixel.. So that is a total of 8 already.. Seems like they are all suddenly appearing (not that I'm paranoid, but I didn't notice any white stuck pixels before and I would swear there were "only" 3 yesterday morning when I first noticed..)

Ok, I gave HTC Netherlands a ring and here is what they said:
There need to be at least 4 dead/hot/stuck pixels present, OR
There need to be 2 dead/hot/stuck pixels at a maximum distance of 5mm from each other
So I brought my HD2 to back to the store I bought it from and they have sent it in for repair/exchange. I don't know if they will replace the screen or the complete handset, but I pushed them quite a bit to replace the entire handset (it's only a month old and I don't like the idea of it being taken apart already :S) I'll keep you all informed.

Good to know.... hope yours comes back fine!

Thank you! I hope so too! Good thing is that they (the store) also filled "in perfect condition" in on the RMA form. Sent back a Nokia once and it came back all scratched up and I couldn't fall back on anything to prove it wasn't scratched when I sent it in.

Indeed

I have a UK Tmobile HD2 Ive only had it 2 weeks and had noticed a white pixel appear a couple of days ago and now I have spotted 2 more (bottom left, middle and top right of the screen) and I can also just about see 3 not very visible RED stuck pixels.
I will be taking the handset back in to the store tomorrow to see what they plan to do about it, they will probably send it off for repair but i will ask for an exchange although the store does not have any instock.

my HD2 suffers from a dead pixel too.
Luckily it's only 1 (and i hope it won't get any more).
I have my HD2 a week, and yesterday i first noticed the dead pixel with brightness on 100% and a white background.
Hope they do something about your situation, because that many dead/hot/stuck pixels isn't fun anymore, and the worst part is you can't hold your eyes of it once you noticed them.

Is there a software to fix stuck pixels??? I have spotted a red point which can be seen only in some applications with black background. But it isn't seen in a totally black picture.

Any update on this?
i live in NL and curious to hear if its fixed for free.

Black dead pixels?
Are dead pixels black or white? I have few in a small area after I bought it used a year ago. They haven't spread but does anyone else have this problem?

i am on it too .... a blue pixel only on black font.....

Week old nexus one, already dead pixels.

Well I received my nexus one about a week ago and I absolutely love everything about it...
Unfortunately I've just noticed two dead pixels on the screen. One top left and the other bottom right. Both about an inch in from the screens edge.
I've seen a lot of posts of people complaining about clicking edges and dust under their screens but I'm pretty sure this is not dust. The specks look identical to each other and are tiny in size. They are mainly visible on light/white backgrounds.
Unfortunately I live far away from any of the Google supported countries so doing any kind of exchange is going to be really difficult :-(
Anyone seen similar issues? Any suggestions?

There's a coupla apps on the market to check for dead pixels.
All they do is flash up white, black, red, green, blue so you can see what pixel is stuck. It might be worth trying one of those just to make sure they are actually dead pixels.
If they were working before, they might just be stuck pixels, and alot of toggling between colours may unstick them.

But if it was a stuck pixel then you would see it lighting up on dark backgrounds but these are only noticeable on white or bright backgrounds.
BTW I have already tried the market apparently and no joy.
Has no one else been noticing these?

I had one stuck pixel that appeared a couple days after i got my phone
but i fixed it and it came back like 5 times.
But knock on wood its been 4 weeks and it hasn't come back.
Mine was weird it would only show on the lock screen and it was very random but once i swiped to unlocked it went away so it wasn't that bad.
If i were you I would return it especially were its two pixels and software isnt fixing it.

OLED have very deep blacks so its hard to tell if its stuck on black or if it is dead
...anyhow if you cant fix it you should return it.

Man returning it is a such a mission as it was bought in Singapore and I'm not even there any more...
I suppose I could find a way to send it back there and then from there back to the US.... heh. The problem is that I only received the handset about a week ago so if these kinds of problems have been reported since the launch whaat says the replacement wont have the exact same issue? Which would then be a massive waste of time and money ;(

Thats the problem i even set up an RMA to return mine but had a gut feeling i would regret it. So i canceled my RMA and prayed the pixel would eventually not stick anymore.
I didn't want to take a chance of getting a referb phone with other issues.

I feel your pain EVERY device that I get now days that has a LCD screen ALWAYS has at least one dead pixel. But to my surprise my Nexus One is 100% fine .

[Q] Light Bleed? Common issue? Faulty?

Hi,
I have just received my Asus TF today, and I absolutely love it!
However I have just noticed that in the middle of the screen @ the very bottom the light is slightly bleeding out (ie there is a lighter spot on the black bar).
Its just right above the docking point.
Is this a common issue / design, or is mine faulty?
Sorry, its probably a completely stupid question, but I just want to figure out if I should be asking for a new one....

It's a common issue, you're not alone.
Some of us have returned TF's with light bleed, while others accept it.

If you just have one section at the bottom, keep it. Mine had four different areas of bleed.

I have light bleeding but only noticeable when showing pure full screen black picture in a dark room. So its not really a big deal for me ( I guess nothing is perfect). However, I wonder if others have worse.

I have some light bleed at the bottom of my screen in 3 different areas. Its not too bad and i can only see it on a black screen. Its better ecer since i put the sceen on auto brightness

this problem will exist with LG ips screen. :O

Got my replacement from BestBuy today, Original had one bad light bleed and 3 smaller ones. Also had a dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
New one has small light bleed in lower corner, hardly noticeable and no dead pixels.
Now I just need to pick a ROM to put on ;-)

No. No it will not. LG IPS panels do not even have backlights; not inherently, anyway.
I hate when people blame light bleed on IPS. It's not the IPS technology, it's the poor quality edge-lighting

Yes, that's probably true. Asus might be responsible for the backlight, or they may have bought it from yet another third party, but it's probably LG's.

Mine has very small ribboning of light at the bottom of the screen, would have never noticed in normal use. I checked my Ipad that I have had for a year and its exactly the same and in the same place, never noticed till I looked for it. Possibly all tablets have LB to some extent if its not noticible in every day use its only a problem if it bothers you looking at a black screen in a dark room

Not all tablets have lightbleed.
Most do, though, because of the form factor basically requiring edge-lit backlights, which are very tempermental

I just received mine yesterday & don't seem to have any light bleed. That is unless I don't know what I am looking for.
My only real issue seems to be with the power button. I have to push it 2 or 3 time for my transformer to wake up.

I have the same issue, 2 spots at the top of the screen. I don't think I ever see it though unless the display is entirely black or at least very dark. If it were much worse I'd consider getting a replacement, however from what I've read on the subject it doesn't seem to get (significantly) worse over time under normal conditions, however excess strain may worsen the effect. Thankfully the TF101 seems pretty solid so I don't think its going to be much of an issue.

Mine has it in about three or four places too, I don't really care about it though.

Sadly I just noticed two spots in the middle of my screen that are white. I do not think it is light bleed but I have already issued a RMA with NCIX on this.
I noticed that it is an issue on Amazon as well....according to this review.
http://www.amazon.com/review/R21G1E2O7DUE83/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_alt_1
Dammit.
Ah well. Will RMA it and if that fails will get a refund and get a Acer Iconia instead.

Fix uneven/yellow screen with intentional burn-in

So I was on my 2nd Nexus 6P and like the first it had an uneven screen. Normal/slightly pink at the top and at the bottom it's more yellow. Instead of returning it I've decided to try and fix the yellow tint by intentionally causing a burn-in on the over-enthusiastic green pixels in the bottom half of my screen.
To do this I flashed a kernel which unlocks the high-brightness mode of the display, the awesome EX kernel, set my screen timeout to 15 minutes and left the display turned on for 3x15 minutes in high brightness mode with a black-to-green gradient open full screen in the Photos app (absolutely nothing else on screen). After each of the 15 minutes I checked the progress, after the 3rd time I considered it done. I'm happy to report that this has nearly eliminated my uneven screen problem.
So far I've seen no ill effects, just a nice even screen.
I used this black-to-green gradient that was a close match to where my screen was yellow. My first 6P had a different pattern of yellowness, so that would have required a different gradient, more like black-green-black.

Interesting, the normal slightly pink at the top transitioning to yellow at the bottom describes the screen on my original nexus 6P and it's replacement.
I'll look into giving this a try as well.

I´m not sure if something like this could be considered as a defect. If you look at a very high angle, you might see some sort of "rainbow effect" on the screen. You should be careful about "burning in" Pixels in a Amoled screen. High brightness will wear out the LEDs faster than you think. At least this is how I remember my old Samsung Galaxy S3 but maybe Amoled technology has improved a lot.

I can't really comment on if the OP's method is safe or not, but it is worth noting that the gradient/tint change is noticeable even when viewed straight on under normal use, such as browsing etc.
It could sort of be likened to the old TN based flat screens from a number of years ago where the top and bottom looked slightly different colours, however a lot of this was down to narrow viewing angles. I'm wondering if the same applies to the specific AMOLED display used by the 6P as well.
The AMOLED screens on my Moto X 2nd Gen and Moto X Force don't have the same problem.

I have a slight purple tint too on the screen but it is only visible on a white background. It does not bother me, if you set a higher brightness it is barely visible. Maybe all Nexus 6P have this sort of display and you simply have to live with it.

Would you happen to have a before image for your screen? I would like to try this on my phone but can't say for sure what exact color the uneven section is. Most of the screen seems to have a pink tint that fades into a green/yellow tint in the bottom left corner. I don't want to stress the wrong color accidentally.

Can you post before and after pics of your screen please?

Its a well known characteristic of samsung AMOLED screens. Samsung users have been complaining about this for some time. Its actually worse on the sgs6. But more brightness will make it less noticeable. Honestly, if you forget about it and stop focusing on it, you will stop noticing it.

Yeah I understand some are really bad you should send it back.but if its slight. There's no.point obsessing about it. It takes the joy away from using the phone

It's impossible not obsessing about it since the display is very thing you look at when using a phone, people wouldnt tolerate if it was an LCD, dead pixels or any other defect at the advertised price, but since it's amoled we should be expected that these errors occur.
The issue on slight displays is that the screen is uneven on white, so its impossible to ignore on web browsing and how dark ui and gapps is not provided by Google, I would prefer it to be slightly pink/blue all over not half so you won't notice it.
Not meaning to rant and whine but consumers shouldn't have to accept this or fix the issue themselves, when I show the phone of friends, they notice the inconsistent white background and are shocked when I say its something you have to live with, the features are not going to outweigh the display issue
The joy of the phone is still there, just wish they implement quality control.

I complained about this on my Nexus 6. Ended up buying and returning a total of about 8 phones from various stores until i found the "perfect" one. Its incredibly irritating when you can notice it and its the first thing you see when the pixels light up. Some people may care more than others but im not willing to compromise anymore. AMOLED displays look great, but LCDs seem to have a better yield or QA. I was of course down voted and flamed about this. Good to see people starting to take action against garbage quality AMOLEDs.

This post is old but I wanted to try this nonetheless. You can't just burn in or wear out the pixels in such sort of time no matter what. 45 mis is not enough to cause such an effect. I tried it as I have a screen with the same exactly issue but there is no change. And I did it for far more than you. I let it all the night long for 3 days. There was no change. I don't think you can fix this issue this way (or any other way)

You guys keep saying "AMOLED issue". I bought 6p after having OnePlus X - it has AMOLED without any issue, it was perfect screen! Nexus 6p is great phone, but screen really bothers me... I hate, but I need to replace the phone. And I am not sure whether I will get a good phone or not. Support told me that if I would ask for replacement - they could send me a refurbished phone. Only buying new will give a new phone. I can still return it as I have it for few days...

Hey,
Seriously, a refurbished device just after a few days? Like you had it for 10 months, lol? Is it Huawei?
Escalate the case to a supervisor and don't give up until you get a "proper" new phone!
Good luck...
