So I've noticed recently that my screen on my CPO X has gotten a faded spot about an inch from the bottom of the screen. It hasn't reduced functionality or anything, it just... urks me, lol. Anyone else have this, and do you think Verizon might help me out? It makes the device significantly less attractive.
D: Also, only visible when the screen is on on a white page, but still.
Haven't over heated the phone once nor dropped it, running SetCPU at 1000 max 600 min.
Running on rooted stock, also.

had this on my original and refurbished droid x, quite strange
Think I could get a new one if I ***** about problems with responsive problems? XD
I have this same problem in the same spot. Its really annoying lol

Sorry, typo. Anywho, yeah, very annoying. It's only my second Android device, too- I came from the HTC Eris. Probably no way I can fix it, either.

You might as well talk to Verizon about it. There's nothing you could lose from that

The screen works as it should, theres just a bright spot on white or light colored backgrounds.
I just traded my Incredible for the X. I really like this phone but this spot is driving me crazy! I wish I could fix it somehow.

I may have just found your post on DroidForums about the same issue.
Did you ever contact Motorola, by chance?

Same exact problem here. I talked to my guy at verizon and he saidd it for sure falls under a warranty replacement for a refurb phone. But it doesn't bug me enough yet to make me do that. I'll wait until my one year is almost up then replace it.

Yes I did but I don't have the receipt, the guy I traded with said he will take care of it. Hopefully they'll replace it for me. Its not a huge deal but it gets on my nerves.

I have what appears to be a dead pixel at the top right of my screen. It's a CPO and I received it this way. It has bugged the **** outta me since I got it. It was a replacement phone because the first one wouldn't stop rebooting. I think I'll call and complain as well, but I don't want my third X to have some other problem lol.

Try Jscreenfix, its free on the market, let it run for like 30 minutes... It fixed a dead pixel on my Droid 1.

Will try, but I don't think its a dead pixel. It just looks like a half inch wide faded spot.

I was playing with my friends new DX today and his screen looks so much better than mine for some reason, my screen looks really washed out and it has the ugly spot. Maybe by the time I get it back Gingerbread will be out
Are you gonna send yours in?

Just picked up my TF, turned it on and noticed this. This quite beyond what someone would refer to as light bleed. Wanted to find out if this is normal or not? You can only see it from a certain angle, but still...

What phone(s) does Asurion give out as a replacement for the Incredible? I thought I read that they ran out of Dincs.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Anybody?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
DInc2. A quick search would have provided the answer much faster.
Not a fact.....they the inctedibles in stock. Best way to tell is to file a claim and see what they offer. Mine was. Dinc 2 for 5 days now its an original. Bottom line if they have a incredible that's what you'll get. Changes day to day. Good luck.

What the guy above said. Most are getting The Dinc2 but sometimes you'll get lucky and get the Dinc1 since they seem to be in and out of stock.
Yeah my gf got a Dinc1 not too long ago from them... It could also be a regional thing too. I'm sure she'll be more than happy to trade someone for a Dinc2 though

Well if you're lazy like me then no. But if you feel like you've been conned out of your money then return it.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
sure... you paid a fair deal for the phone- if you're dissatisfied, then samsung/retailer should rectify it.
but it does sound like lots of hassle for a single pixel.
of course...especially when you will be noticing it, everytime when you look at it
i'd return it . im sure now you see and look at the dead pixel everytime you look at the screen as you have already spotted it.
Well, kind of how I feel guys.

Probably not, depends on how noticeable it was.
If everything else works fine, there is always the chance you'll return it and get something far more annoying.
It reminds me of friends who used to return monitors that had a bad pixel.

Yes I definitely would. Not sure if they'll accept the return though because of just one dead pixel.
yeah im sure it will be fine with exchange to newset.

I would return a monitor for one. I haven't had a dead pixel in a monitor in a very long time.
This one is pretty noticeable being in the center and all.

I would definitely exchange it coz i know how annoying that one dead pixel is.. i had a iPhone like that and i took it to apple store and they exchanged it for me.
I would definitely return it.
You deserve a new and defect free screen when you have paid for a new device.
Definitely I would. You'll never forgive yourself if u don't do it
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Talking with the vendor, hoping they take care of me. They have a pretty awful policy on the books there though at 11 dead pixels for a return...
They're talking to the supplier, i will keep you posted.
Aren't there any apps that force colours to all the pixels which then, in turn, might unlock the green one?

Just found 'Pixel Fixer V 2.0' and its free. Give it a go. You can't lose really.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Exactly, there are methods of fixing dead pixels with a good chance of success. I would definitely google it and try them out (and maybe try to figure out which may be best for AMOLED screens).
Then, if nothing works and the dead pixel is in some annoying place I would ask for a replacement.

Even if you don't mind, say in the off chance you sell it later - and the buyer notices it and decides not to - you'll regret not getting a new phone.

Thank you, I already tried that overnight to no avail (and then again several times for a few hours.)
Does Asurion have any Incredibles left? I screwed mine up and I'm probably gonna end up getting a replacement. Or would they replace it with an Incredible 2?
How you screw yours up? Many times ive thought mine was toast, but it keeps on goin!

Yeah, they should still be doing refurbished Incredibles , but if you had one with a AMOLED screen you will probably end up with SLCD

Im pretty sure they replace them with whatever they have in stock at whatever distribution center they have closest to near where you live. I've heard people say they replaced their incredibles with refurbished droid x's, facinates, incredible 2's and regular incredibles. It's a luck of the draw what you get really.

if you filled online it should of told you what your replacement is, if you called then I don't know how to tell

It's getting here tomorrow, let's see what it is.
Likely an incredible. I got a couple from them recently (Wisconsin if it matters). First one was online, second was over the phone, and both were Inc's.
Funny part was that my coworker got a replacement from them a few weeks earlier and got a inc 2.
PS. So you don't think I break phones weekly, on the 1st one the accelerometer didn't work. Haha.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Ended up getting the same phone, but with 2.3.4 :/
Trying to get it rooted again.
I have tried asurion online about everyday for the last month and they seem to always have OG Dincs in stock. I have a cracked screen so it is cheaper for me to just replace that myself. Just hoping to get a Dinc 2 instead so I have a newer device until HTC releases their next super phone a april/summer. My dinc has been great though with CM7.
Has anyone got a Dinc 2 from asurion recently?
So I just noticed a dead pixel on the left middle hand side of my n7 while viewing a black picture should I take it back to office depo and get a new one or should I not worry about it , I have never had this problem before.

Yeah man, guess I have had some bad ones. I had an Evo that was plagued by a couple issues, one being a dead pixel. It seemed to develop another rather quickly. Thankfully the last phone with any issues. My first N7 had one, found during a screen test. Replacement is perfect. (replaced due to screen lift) Good luck.

A single dead pixel popped up over night.. right in the middle of the screen. That's really annoying..
It's black.. so it's visible in most apps. But is that enough to order a replacement?
Besides that, my N7 is flawless. Damn that's unfortunate.
dead pixel already!?

i have one on the lower right hand side of my N7 though its just a tiny black speck but only noticeable with light colored backgrounds but less noticeable with blue backgrounds. anyway one dead pixel is not enough to be covered by its warranty
