Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
well you could replace the screen. or just take it back & get a replacement device. within 14 days verizon would give you a new one. not sure about other carriers.
I'm from belguim.there is no verizon here ^^

If it's red it would then be a stuck pixel? There are some ways to potentially fix those (flashing images of different colours very quickly), but being brand new I would replace the phone.

Keep it going for a while.
There's an 8-hour version if you're willing to try that overnight before returning it.

If only one pixel out of 2073600 pixels is stuck or dead and it doesn't affect you much, then keep it.
But if it bothers you, you are fully entitled to exchange your new phone.
Same problem here, bought a S4 this morning with one dead or stuck pixel (green dot on black background).
Already exchanged at the store with no problem.

These things never does. I have had a lot of devices with stuck/death pixels - always seems to be a 1st batch issue. And always we find these "fix" recommendations but they NEVER work Swap it.
I had a red stuck pixel on my Galaxy S2, I removed it by simply rubbing the screen on the dead pixel while applying pressure.
It disappeared and never came back
I'd be devastated rather take it back.

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.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
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.)
I just got my note this Week, and I love it, but I had a quick question. When I qm trying to write accurately,the pencil will go crazy on me, effectively giving my letters tails, Is this normal? Should I exchange? It doesn't depend on the location of where Im writing (from what I can tell)

It's not normal. It could be the display but it could also be the S-Pen. I got my S-Pen wet and even after it dried what I'd write on the display was sometimes off. Whichever it is, if you can exchange it, you should.
Thank you. I'll probably go tonight and exchange it. Glad I bought from Sam's club instead of Craigslist!

What else is different?
I think I found an old guy who does not want his N4. Can I pull my att sim card from straight talk and put it in the n4?
What other things should I look for before I make the purchase from someone who has had experience with this device? I am coming from the note 1.
Thank you for any help!

You may need to create the APN, but the phone is Sim unlocked.
Look for scratches, cracks, touchscreen unresponsiveness, earpiece crackle (some is OK. Just make sure it isn't unbearable), dead pixels and yellow spots on the screen.

Lol I was not trying to offend anyone.
I was stereotyping him because he said his wife had to order the phone online for him and that kind of phone wasn't for him. I am guessing it might of been his first smart phone. He is selling a 16 gig for 300 bucks and he used it one day.
He wanted the money to get a iphone:banghead:
I need a new phone cause I think my note 1 has about had it. So it could potentially could be a good timing thing.

It's an unevenness in the way the backlight lights up the screen. You'll see brighter spots around the edges. Some say it's the type of screen. It's not something I've ever looked for or noticed. It doesn't bother a lot of people, but perfectionists let it get to them.
make sure its not blacklisted..yes google can and had blocked the n4..

For an extra $50 bucks and shipping you can get a brand new one and not risk buying one with an issue.

When you get to him. Ask him if you can call Google and get the warranty transferred over to you. At the same time ask google if it has been blacklisted. If he does not agree, don't buy it.
Hi I have the iPhone 5 with iOS 7.
I completely hate it.
I'm stuck between the s4 and the htc one.
played with both today the s4 seems kinda "plasticy" and the htc one reminds me of the iphone build and the htc one in black is hawt.
why should i buy the s4 over the htc one?
i plan to root / custom rom the s4 once an exploit is found.
thnx
If you drop the S4, it bounces. The One will dent and put pressure on the screen and buttons if dropped causing more possible damage. I suggest a case for either one. The S4 has a larger more vibrant screen. A 13 megapixel camera vs the Ones 4 mp camera. Yes they say ultra pixel but it just takes pics with bigger pixels. Its a load of crap if you ask me.

Same dilemma I had. Chose S4 easily tho because SD card support is high on my list of must-haves.
The need for this new device was due to frying the last phone and not being to access the built-in memory at all after. Altho nothing I cared for was lost since everything was on an SD card.

Ok so ive had the note for 3 days now, used the pen maybe two or three times, and the last time I used it I must have set it down somewhere cuz I cant find it anywhere. I do however keep getting this little message popup reminding me to put the pen back in the phone. I dont know wut triggers the message. it pops up quite a bit with no noticeable pattern. Sux too cuz I never really got to play around with it for more than a minute or two. Does the phone have a feature that can help me find the pen or do I just need to buy a new one? Gracias everyone!
