Just got my G2 today and has a stuck pixel - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After a long wait for AT&T to ship my phone and going on amazon to order screen protector and case. It finally came in the mail today. As soon as I got it I slapped my screen protector on and went on playing with my new phone. I started watching a video on YouTube and a stuck green pixel around the middle of the phone. I Googled black imaged to make sure and even took a black picture in a dark room and yes its stuck green one.
Anyone have one of these? I'm running a pixel fixer right now Butt if this can't fix it I will have to call at&t to return it instead of getting it swapped out since they give you refurbished phones.

Are you sure? Did you try a pixel tester app?

Yeah I tried the pixel tester app and I can only see the green pixel when a black image is presented. Right now its flashing all lights and turning colors, I'm hoping this will fix the problem. I'm going to leave the app running for about 10 hours and see what happens.

Man, that just sucks what about going directly to LG instead of AT&T?

Seeing a stuck pixel at 1/421" in size is pretty impressive

Just to not look like a noob. Remove your screen protector before running a 10h stress test on a pixel. Many it's just an optical illusion from the protector... I'd not get it replaced. Messing with it might ruin your warranty

I have a stuck single stuck pixel on my Verizon variant. Surprised by some of the comments questioning its existence. I haven't done anything about it and its only visible on very dark backgrounds in my case. Good luck!

Not sure. No one has complained of this yet that I've seen. A google search might yield the proper answer.

I'm not sure but I have one dead pixel... I know two dead pixels would qualify for an exchange anywhere with any company

How long have you had a dead pixel?
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
A pixel can go out, yes.
Is it likely? No.
If you do have a dead pixel you can send it in to Samsung and they will send you a new phone (as long as you're under warranty)
I had my Nexus One for 6 months and I never saw a dead pixel.

Just noticed your post after i posted...yea i had same problem with nexus but it never became permanent or anything and mine was red not black...I almost returned mine but after all the BS about people getting refurbed nexus phones for replacements and nightm i took a chance and kept an wasn't really a big deal since it rarely happened.

(Q) is it normal for these screens.

Never owned a IPS screen or so.
Is it normal to have yellow tint on the edges when having a black background ? When I have a white background its pure white ( saw someone with yellow tint on white background) .

Nope. That is one of the problems that some users are facing. You should RMA your 7.
It would be pretty bogus if that was how ALL IPS screens were, lol.

True. After hours or researched. I came up with not much to go off by lol.
PC screens with IPS screens were saying that yellow tint were cause by a glue not being dry out evaporated yet and the more you use it they tend to just go away and get Better. I guess iPad 2 had similar problems. Most of them advice to use it more and they will go away so I might try that . I'd hate to be without this for a week to 2 weeks. But then again I got mine at Sams but their put and no way of knowing when they we will one.
Didn't happen doh until I got some heavy duty gaming last night. So might have gotten hot and was evaporating the left over glue? Lol correct me if I am wrong but that's what I gather so far..

I don't have it in mine and don't know much about it but my roommates IPS monitor NEVER had a yellow tint.
And Google will do an advanced RMA where they send you one and put a hold on your credit card until you send the other one back.

i have a white one with no issue. but i got something people can try. turn the lights out, and view a black screen/page of something and sorta manipulate the light from the buttons in the palm of your hand so as to use it as a flashlight (because a flashlight and blacklight wont work), i found some weird looking defect or hieroglyph in the middle left side. but it doesnt affect anything only i will ever know its there. kinda weird.. looks like a crudely drawn number 4 wrote with a stylus permanently embedded in the polarizing film
Is it that whitish color because dirt go in there? Or did it actually look like that when you got it?
I feel like I have a slight on the bottom of mine now...
I got gaps everywhere :/ Might see if VZW will exchange it then.

White pixel.

I posted last night that there is this really small white dot on my screen. It only visible on light colors like white . But its not visible if the color is really dark. Like on you tube where the search option is it not visible but when i go to Facebook i can see right next to my notification but its small. Anyways is there a way for it to go away? This phone is only like a day old :/ & it was bigger last night but it got smaller because i played a video that repeated blue red and green fast because i heard it make stuck pixel go back to normal.
Also is it a dead pixel or stuck?
Return the phone if you can't live with it.

I'd RMA it, pretty sure they'll replace it free of charge. Although it's just a pixel, stuck and/or dead pixels annoy the crap out of me because once you notice them, you can't stop looking at them every damn time!

Depends on Google/LG's interpretation - Samsung don't except anything under 5 pixels as faulty

I just saw a white pixel on the middle of the screen but I can only appreciate it at dark, when screen is black and brightness set to maximum (which I never have on dark environment). Was that an issue for you? I really have to look for it for a while in any other case. Pixels are sooo small. Don't even bother to rma. No other issue with the phone.
I'm thinking it's just a pixel stuck in a grey colour because it so difficult to see.

Anyone using the white LG G2?

As someone who has always been using black phones (be it iPhones or Android), I am a little wary of moving to the white version. I am buying it off forums and this person has only the white one to sell. People with the white one, are you liking it? Especially if you're coming from a black phone?
I'm with white and its good

I haven't seen the white version, but I bet it's just as great as the black. Might switch up if I like it more
TapaTalked From My G2
White looks too Samsung Galaxy to me. Black looks more like a Nexus device. Ah, decisions decisions.
been having black phones for years now. My last one is iphone 5. Got a G2 white and like it a lot... kinda like iphone 3GS white.
White One looks elegant, Black one is men
I'm using white one, i like it
sometimes I use black case QuickWindows

Oh wow. That is a deal breaker. Looks like black for me then. Thanks for the input!
With the black you almost feel like you have no side bezel and it does have that nexus look to it I had the white I could see myself looking at the side bezel more often cuz they were white

That guy was trying to seem as if the screen on the white phone seems smaller due to the bezel. Honestly, its the same & when I use it I don't even pay attention or notice. Play with both in the store and decide for yourself.
I have the white and its sick in person. Get nothing but complements everywhere I go especially because its more rare than the black G2

I got mine Black because:
1. Nexus-esque look
2. Looks awesome when screen off
3. I had a white Note for almost 2 years and wanted to change
The only good thing I see on the white one is that finger prints are not that visible.
Cheers!
white on the g2, because it doesn't show fingerprints, returned the black g2, looks kinda generic
black on the note 3 because its silicon like back
Black here. Cant remember being so much in love with the look of my phone before. I barely look at my girlfriend anymore.
