Hi guys.
I'm interested to know whether Hero sets from overseas are experiencing this problem. apparently, users who bought it in Singapore (where i live) have this problem, and it's pretty widespread.
just curious to see if the problem is limited to Singapore or it affects other territories as well
Hi. I have T-mobile G2 in UK and I also have dead Pixels. As Fact I know people have this problem and It's not rare. I didn't send it back cos I Can live with it but i know people who sent it few times and still have received with dead pixels. Sad but its true.
i got 1 tiny little bright one.
annoying at first but i forgot about it after a couple of days. theres more important things in life to worry about. besides, most bright pixels right themselves after a few days/months...
i'd live with one or two dead pixels myself, but people have reported up to 8 dead/bright pixels, so it's kinda worrying
I do have around 8-10 dead? pixels but you can't notice them. One of them is bright enough to notice on black backgrounds and menus, but you hardly notice the other ones.
It's kind of weird though, they all appeared after 1-2 days of usage.
I have 1 bright pixel after 2 weeks using. The shop don't change the device with one dead pixel. Sad. In Hungary/Europe.
2 bright spots here. they are really tiny tho and i only ever notice it while booting which is not that often. no dead/stuck pixels on my hero *yay*
stuck = bright
sounds like someone needs to create an app for Android, like the apps to fix bright pixels on normal computer monitors, where u select the region on the monitor where the bright pixel is and the app constanly flashes different colors...sometimes rectifies bright pixels after a couple of hours.
i believe some of the bright pixels might well be enclosed dust ...

i have to say that i don't have ONE dead pixel on my screen. It's really great. My past device (xda orbit 2) also had another problem: dust gathering beneath the display. i don't have any issues with the build quality with my htc hero and i'm really picky too.
it's an unbranded german white HTC Hero.

If it was dust though, wouldn't we notice an increasing number of bright pixels as the days pass?

i haven't looked into this myself ... just quoting other people here.
the people in the other thread seem to have come to the conclusion it is dust enclosed in the assembly process. the seal around the displey seems to be quite good ... so no new specks of dust over time

Me too, I have 8 - 10 dead pixels but it hardly to notice them! you will notice them when boot the device.

i am not sure if mine is considered dead pixels but when the device boots up, the upper right side seems to be brighter than the rest of the screen (light shining out more from there)
however, once the device is booted up, it is no longer noticeable, maybe becoz the screen is not totally black. the only way thus far i can replicate this is to shutdown and boot it up.
does anyone have this issue?
Yeah, I also got the brighter screen in the upper part of it during boot, I think it is because of the backlight to the device so I don't think it's you really need to worry about.
But concerning the topic, I also experience dead/bright pixels during the boot up, around 3-4. I didn't even notice them during boot before I saw this thread and decided to take a closer look, not that a huge problem for me as i can only see them during the boot, and neither got I the patience to wait for it when it is at service.
first day with my hero from orange france and 1 dead black pixell !! RRRRRR
Use this soft to be able to see more pics dead: --> http://fr.androlib.com/android.application.vidyaworks-oxeye-qqn.aspx
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.....
Hi to all,
I would like to share my brief experience with Galaxy S2. After changing 4 phones when I saw defects on the screen of the 5th one I fed up and returned it for good.
The manufacturing quality of these displays are absolutely garbage on these phones. I own SGS and the screen is perfect. I expected the same thing with SGS2 especially if I pay 700 for a phone. when I came home and compared 2 phones I was disappointed.
Here is my experience with 5 phones. I live in Toronto so these phones purchased locally. First three of them from Best Buy, last 2 from Bell.
1.) Colors were fine but there was a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. A black dot. I exchanged the phone.
2.) In store I checked the phone for defects and couldn't find one (because of bright environment). I went to movie right after the purchase and realized in 2 min something was wrong with colors. When you dim the light, there was no grey. It was purple. keyboard was purple, gmail was purple. I exchanged it.
3.) Colors were so so. Still had a visible pink tint on it. and when you tilt the phone and view from different angles colors were changing, having a blue tint. If you view with 90 degrees it was pinkish again. (there is no such problem on my SGS)
addition to this, when in a dark room if you open a pure black picture the screen was showing some defects (dark black lines and spots on screen).
When you pull down the status bar, in low brightness there were some bands.
I returned the phone, got my refund and wanted to buy form somewhere else to see maybe its a batch problem.
4.) I went to another place. Got my phone. Screen had no defects but it was like someone pissed on it. It had a yellow tint. whole screen. colors were so pale. I actually kinda missed the pink tint. which was better and giving more vivid colors. I exchanged it the same day.
5.) It had a pink tint( which is ok since I got used to it). It had no banding when you pull down status bar and displays pure black very good.
BUTTTTT!!!! when you pull down status bar there was a half centimeter diameter white spot. And once you see it u never not see it. It was there in every pic (mostly grey colors)
I had enough and returned it. I wish I could find a good one like my SGS(which I didn't have such problems)
I tried 5!!!!! phones and none of them had a perfect display. Such a shame for a 700 dollar phone. I decided to wait and see if its gonna change in several months or not.
Maybe they shipped all the dodgy ones to Canada. I have a UK model (bought just over 2 months ago) and my screen is fine - no dead pixels, no purple or yellow tint...

Maybe they rushed the manufacturing for Canada. who knows. But one thing is obvious there are literally 2 different screens. I had been many stores. Many. And Checked maybe 30 display phones and from different stores and there are either Yellow tint screen or Pink tint screen.
Even if half of all the SGS2's have defective screens, the probability of you getting five in a row is 3%.
Yeah, maybe Toronto is receiving all the defective, returned ones. Or maybe you're just really unlucky. Or cursed.
Wow, that's a string of badluck. I've had mine for a couple of months now and have had no screen problems.

Yeah its probably because of my girlfriend. She never wanted me to get this phone since I am already in 3 year contract with bell owning SGS and had to purchase the phone with full price.
Also many first time buyers might not see those things. I have SGS at home and can compare. My sgs has a blue tint too but at least when you view from different angles colors don't change at all and not a single imperfection. And blue tint makes the whites brighter and less irritating than having a yellow white.

You should have kept number 4. Yellow tint was a software issue and KG2/KG3 fixes it.
I only had to exchange once due to 2 dead/stuck pixels on the bottom left. Haven't seen any of the other issues you mentioned.
Sorry about that my friend, Hope you get a good one soon.
My screen is fine, but i noticed something as you said. When seeing a full black color while using any screen test app. I see many lines like drawing if looked closely :

Exactly. However when I open the same test pattern in SGS and put side by side, my sgs is smooth ad butter. Nothing on it. Just pure color, no imperfections whatsoever.
I have a question to you. When you dim the light do your status bar and other button colors band whites (such as keyboard, swype keyboard) has a purplish tint? Is it normal or a defect?
When I opened keyboards those buttons appear purplish. In my sgs they are grey.
I'm in Vancouver and got mine a few days ago shipped from Bell. No problems here with screen colors or dead pixles. My son also dropped it on tile already and not a single scratch, thank god. Still waiting for my case from ebay.

Nothing else except that, and bro my phone is always having 0% brightness hehe.
and to be more precise those drawings on full black color looks like burns on old CRT tv when suddenly power cuts isn't it ? haha
Anyways, Colors are vivid and really better than my LED TV.
and no viewing angle problems.
Do i really need to worry about those drawing while on full black? though you see them only if you look closer or focus ur eyes for long
mine has a blue tint when viewing off angle
so is this not normal because my buddy's is the same

I dont know what is normal or not no one knows. But I am assuming if there is no color shifting when tiliting on my SGS this one shouldn't have it either.
I really wonder if people don't realize whether their screen is yellowish/purplish or their phones are just perfect.
As far as I see there is no natural color phone toronto by now. And belive me I am not exaggerating it. If you put those two phones side by side their color tint is completely different. What kinda manufacturing is this?
I can even say which stores in toronto have what colors.
If u wanna see purplish tint display phones:
-Future shop in dundas
-Bestbuy in dufferin mall
-Source in dufferin mall
-Bell in Eaton center (lower floor store)
Yellow tint display phones:
-Bell Eaton center second floor they had like 5-6 displays which were all yellow)
-virgin mobile in dufferin mall.
I don't even remember some stores. this doesn't mean if u buy from there u are gonna get the same color phone. Its totally random. These are the colors of display phones.
i dont understand man, i have mine for 2 months now in UK, screen is fine it is the best screen i have ever seen.
it could be a trick from Apple hahahahha not wanting SGS2 to succeed in the USA and Canada.....

Apple has patented the concept of a display that completely works. If Samsung didn't have some sort of defect, Apple would file another lawsuit.

Yeah, gotta love the deadpan humor. Some members here are quite good at it.
I had a dead pixel when I ordered mine when it was released in UK about 2-3months ago. The dead pixel went away within 2 days of owning. Maybe your 1st device was your best 1 with a little more patience.
Theres no excuse to you having 5 devices with problems. I really think there might be quality control problems with the screen manufactors. But I do know this is probably a very small percentage since it doesnt seem widespread.
Wow man messed up. I bought mine from China and it's the best. Absolutely perfect no defects at all! Perfect just Perfect!
well I just got off the phone with Samsung and they told me that what I'm seeing is a defect
I don't know if I should exchange it for another one or just return it and stick with the Atrix
Hi! I bought my GS2 with Docomo the day it was launched and I have been enjoying it. One little problem, after using the Widget Locker application, I noticed a round circle near the lower right side of the screen, excactle the same shape and position as one of the circular shortcut from Wideget Locker. I uninstalled and waited a few days but it was still there, although barely visible. I went to the docomo shop the other day and the lady was as surprised as embarrassed and even checked her own GS2 to look for screen burns. Interestingly enough the demonstration model has a permanent screen burn of the dock bar (probably since the screen is always turned on).
After looking for similar issues on the forums, I found a thread about light blobs. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197743.
Anyway, they agreed to change it for free. I went there and obviously very carefully looked for any screen defect. Only after removing the screen protective sheet did I notice the blue tint. Comparing it to the GS2 I had just returned, the new handset white was clearly tinted blue.
Will the tint go away after a bit, or is it a long lasting manufacturing defect?
The store agreed to change it once they receive a new stock of GS2 next week.
Is it possible that this specific store has received an unusually high ratio of handsets with defects? After all, what are the chances of me getting two faulty devices in a row...
Yes I know there have been other posts about this but this one is a little different, or at least not one that I have seen before.
I've taken a long exposure shot of my Note II in the dark with my DSLR to show the spots on the screen when it is black. I've only noticed them with my eyes when actually trying to look for them by turning all the lights off and waiting til my eyes adjust to seeing nothing so they don't bother me at all but thought it was interesting anyway.
My galaxy s2 had that ... but my notes screen is perfect ... Blahhhhhhhhhh that sucks man it's just luck of the draw

Like I say I never notice it when actually using the phone so really not bothered by it. I prefer what I have with the really dark blacks to the LCD on my last phone which was nowhere near black.
Folks, bought my SGN2 from New Delhi and I seem to have the Black Ink mark/line on the screen. Its only visible in the dark under the certain colors, eg. Grey when you use the stock Android SMS app.
Should I get the phone checked at the service centre or is this normal as I've read that this is a Samsung AOMLED manufacturing process. There were a lot of Note & Galaxy 2 phone with it. Even the Note 2 seems to be plagued.
My S2 had that problem. I haven't noticed anything like that for my Note 2 under any lighting conditions. I've been looking by forcing gray backgrounds and using stuff like screen filter to reduce dimness. Still looks good!
Mine Note 2 has a big spot on the upper right hand side of the screen

I assume its completely normal as there are a lot of people who faced this Black spot thingy, I bought my Note 2 three days ago and yesterday I noticed a big black spot on screen, but its only visible in a completely dark environment with pitch black picture on my phone.. It doesn't affect my experience with note 2 in any way, but still we want 100% perfect screen when we pay such a huge amount. Btw I bought it from local store at Chandigarh,India and the box says made in Vietnam.
PS:- As AMOLED screens are really thin, May be some glue accumulated on the back of the screen is the reason for these spots. And it is completely normal as If it were a defect it wouldn't be on almost every screen.

i also had black dots on screen and bubbles under the glass.service center replaced the display and now the black dots relocated to different locations but bubbles are gone.
i bought from kolkata. i would suggest not to take your phone to service center as they added 15-20 scratches to back cover , 4-5 dents to metal lining on side and 3-4 scratches to new display.Samsung service center in india doesn't know how to handle cellphones.They did this to multiple people.
This is an extreme case of OCD. All amoled screens have this issue. The fact that you need to try so hard to find it is why it is consisted acceptable for what you otherwise get with an amoled screen.

Yeah, Samsung India is not up to the mark in providing customer satisfaction and as you mentioned that how they handled your device, is the reason why am just dealing with this spot issue. its still better to have those spots then these scratches and dents.
Samsung should replace the handset itself if its not more then one month old, not just the display.
Had a long vertical 'Black Line" after the 'Samsung' Logo and it went from one end to the other end. It was noticeable during the startup screen of Grand Theft Auto III and on certain colors, eg: Grey. Several other black dots were around the screen as well.
Sold it off and bought another Note2. So far it's perfect
miura, this is one of the flaws with amoled, try getting it exchanged
also, you seem to have the vertical line issue too
dark spots

I had this same issue and im thinking that it might be a component that touches the screen below.
Let me ask you all a simple question, Where are your Note 2's Made? You find this information by removing the battery cover and checking on the white sticker behind your phone. Let me know, as this can suggest something.

We don't know actually what it really is, but it is considered as normal in AMOLED manufacturing criteria.
Its annoying when you see it, but it doesn't affect screen or device in any way, So, am living with it. As its only visible in dark room with pitch black or some grey shade screen.
^^^^ where is your note made in?
