Hello,
Does anybody know what this can be?Little black dots on screen, not everywhere only in the middle of the screen.Any suggestions?Please!!!
Those are dead pixels, there are many tricks including putting your phone in a freezer(I'm serious) as well as pixel "repair"apps from the market that try to force stick pixels to work again by flashing the screen several times.

I just dropped my wildfire and now it has a weird mark on its screen, Ive rooted it and I' running Cyanogen so i think my warranty is void.
It looks like some kind of watermark in the center of the screen
Please look at the attached image and give me any suggestions of what it could be and how to fix it.
Its about to give up from what it seems. The best bet in my view will be to change the screen. Since this comes under accidental damage, I am pretty sure it is not covered under warranty anyway, but, if you wish to try your luck, Unroot your phone by flashing a RUU from Shipped ROM's which will give you your stock, unrooted phone back.
If its warter stick the phone in rice for 48h asap

what would putting it in rice do?
Dry out the water. Rice is said to emit heat when stored due to which it is also used to ripen fruits.
see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8-0ugigDKs for why
Ok, my story. I`ve dropped my phone on the floor about 2 months ago. After that there were stucked pixels on the screen. I`ve run JScreenFix to try to fix them, but in result i`ve got more stuck pixels + some black stripes. Anyway I was running that JScreenFix software just to checkout what will happen next and unfortunately while phone was running program i`ve put it on external hdd with the screen on the bottom. As result i got less those stuck pixels and stripes, so i`ve decided to put my phone on the radiator and run software. After some hours my screen was like new and still it is
Happy end
I hope that my solution will help.
Or you could do a pixel massage

How long did it take for your light to go out? My defy has been showing a dull red glow now for just over a week, and that's regardless of weather our not the phone is on or off, when the phone is powered down the dull red glow is still there.
the only way to stop it is to remove the battery.
Odd. Didn't.notice prob a week.or so. Sorry to hear bout it. Try.leaving the batt off for a few.ours

My brand new pad has a pixel that won't show green...running one of the apps that says it fixes that... If it doesn't work, i'm going to see if I can get a replacement.
Just a warning to everyone. Be on the lookout.

I've got a dead pixel as well. Near the top left. Doesn't really bother me that much, so I don't really care. Surely one teeny little pixel doesn't warrant you returning it ...?

I used to think that. But if its been like, 3 Weeks and there's already one dead pixel... What does that say for the possibilities?
Just called Asus - he tried to get me to do a wipe.
Are you kidding me? wipe all my data? Asus - get rid of the spiel, its junk. Get ppl who know whats up on the phones ugh

My first pad had a dead pixel. I found it the second day and returned it as soon as I could. It was kind of in the middle of the screen, and I could see it every time I viewed a white web page. Needless to say, it bothered the heck out of me and had to be returned.
i went through 4 tabs until i got one that was fine display wise. first one had a cluster of discolored pixels, like someone pressed their thumb hard on the screen and damaged the area. the other two each had a couple grains of what looked like sand under the glass. All of these were around the same area on the tab, mid-lower left area of the screen.
Mines mid high right...
I'm worried about an attempted unlocking... I tried to unlock my tab before they fixed the c4okt issues, and im wondering if it might've sent them a file about that... Also wondering if unlocking will void it for a screen issue.

Dead and stuck pixels are far from unique to Asus. There is a difference by the way, a stuck pixel is one that is, well stuck displaying one color, these can sometimes be fixed by programs like you are running and/or gently massaging the area with a pencil eraser or something similar, dead pixels don't display any color and are rarely able to be fixed.

My dead pixel I guess just happens to be in a place where I rarely notice it. I tried one of those dead pixel detect and fix apps but it didn't fix anything.

There is one other thing you can try, VERY gently massage the dead pixel with a something like a pencil eraser, that will sometimes get it working.

That's fine and all... but there's a much thicker layer of glass over a capacitive screen than there is over a resistive touch screen... or just a LCD monitor.
Unless I'm missing something here, this advice does not apply anymore.

The screen will still flex. I am not sure whether it would work or not on these devices, I just put that out there hoping it might help.

Don't feel too bad. I just made the mistake of looking at an all black screen on my Acer a510.
NINE stuck pixels!
One little cluster made a shape exactly like the big dipper. Very artistic, with pretty multicolored stuck-pixel stars.
Needless to say I wasn't thrilled. So much for quality control. Sounds like Asus at least isn't this bad.
So I have this weird issue. The very bottom of my screen does not respond well! At first I thought it was a bug with the navigation bar, tried several roms and tried PIE controls until I figured that there is something wrong. I have the navbar now set at 48 dpi and I have to press at middle of it to work, where the very bottom is dead. I activated 360 rotation so that my statusbar now is at the bottom of the screen instead of navbar and it does not respond at all! Anyone can explain ?

I have Tried like lots of different roms with clean fresh installation and the problem is still there ! I think its a hardware problem. For ezample right now if I set my navbar to 32 dpi it wont respond at all because the bottom of my screen have lost the touch sensitivity. I have droppes my phone several times, could that be it ? I cant really remember when I exactly started noticing the issue...but just few days ago...I have tried PIE and same **** :s I have to set the trigger area to max for it to respond...and yes im talking about experiments after a clean install before installing ANY third party app

okays... Now I think it surely a hardware problem,as you said you havr also dropped your phone several times.. All the best goto the service centre for the repair.. dont tell them that you have dropped your phone else they will charge you badly even if you are under warranty.. You are welcome..

Think Im gonna give no damn about it and of course buy the nexus 5, which I would have done either way..but im surprised how can a touchscreen lose a part of its sensitivity somewhere on the screen ?

If you look closely at your screen at an angle with the screen off you will be able to see the digitizer matrix that is fused to the screen.
It is a series of squares.
Each of them squares has 3 horizontal lines and one vertical.
Behind the bezel there will be the circuitry that connects every horizontal and vertical line
If say for instance after one of your phone drops it has damaged one of the connectors at the side, you will lose the entire row of touch detection. Which is probably what has happened

Alex is right i had this happen to my moto defy. I'd say get it done under warrnty no matter if youre keeping or selling. Improve your resale value and protect you from having the entire digitizer die on you

Try that freezer method: take out all internal components like battery, sim, memory card, wrap in plastic bag and put in freezer. Keep for ~12 hours and take out device, waiting for any condensate to vaporise. It may get fixed by that
