So now i'm truly dissapointed! Just found out my (2 month) Note has a entire vertical line of dead pixels that weren't there yesterday... Strange thing is that it only appears with some colors like red or blue. Isn't visible with white or gray backgrounds colors... I tried with *#0*# and the black line its pretty visible only in blue and red test screens.Tomorrow i'll take the shop where i bought it.

How it ended? I found the same problem!
I had this issue after the same amount of time. I sent it back to O2 they have replaced it with a brand new one.
I had this issue after the same amount of time. How do you solve this problem?
many thanks
First of all, I'm going to throw out a quick FYI fact: The One carries a 1080p display on a 4.7inch screen. The sheer resolution of the display increases the chances of getting a dead or stuck pixel. The ~469 PPI on the One also means it'll be slightly more difficult to spot these defected pixels.
Definition of dead vs stuck pixels:
Dead: These pixels are black and only visble on a bright background (preferably a white one). These pixels remain unlit (no green/red/blue pixel lights up)
Stuck: These pixels are essentially stuck on either red, green or blue colors and can be spotted on a background that is any color but of that the pixel is (if the pixel is green, you should be able to see it in a red, blue, white, or black background). These probably stand out best on a black background.
It's generally viewed that stuck pixels have a higher chance of repair-ability through flashing colors (white, black, red, green, blue) in succession on the display through an app.
I just want to know how much these defects affect HTC One devices as HTC has had some pretty bad issues with dead/stuck pixels in the past.
I, myself, have a dead pixel (unlit -- black) on the bottom of the display (barely above the "u" in Beats Audio when you boot up the device). It isn't bothering me too much, but I'm weary as to whether I should keep my unit as this may diminish future resale value..
Do you guys have a dead or stuck pixel on your unit?
p.s I'm not sure whether this should go under the "general" section or "Q/A", but I'm not looking for a specific troubleshooting Q. If it needs to be moved, please report the post (or move it if you're a mod).
I have a white pixel ，only can see it in black，but no in other pixel，what kind of this pixel

Mine stuck pixel is white-ish yellowish colour and can only be seen on a black background with the brightness quite high.
When I first got the phone however I didn't have this problem, so its happened over time, I have since sold the phone so I can get a 64GB version
I though i had a stuck white pixel on the notification bar at the top of the screen, after a bit of investigation it appears the stuck/white pixel is actually a defect in the stock wallpapers
can anybody else confirm this???
it look like jpeg compression has removed the stuck/pixel though you can still see the location.

I had one stuck (white) pixel but it disappeared after using a fixer a few times
the suspected white/stuck pixel still shows on the stock wallpaper, but as i said when i take a screen shot, it`s on the screen shot , so it`s a defect in the wallpaper.

You should use one of the dead/stuck pixel fix/detector apps from the play store, some free ones are good enough
I have used a dead fixel finder app, and no stuck/dead pixels show up on any color that i can see
It`s just strange the htc wallpaper has a defect that looks like a stuck white pixel.
thanks

Do you have to be rooted to see the system folder, as nothing is showing when i click on htc one\internal storage, no system folder is showing?

I happily don't have any on mine.
Do you think HTC would replace a unit based on dead pixels, and how many would be the threshold?
I have 1 dead pixel visible on white background, but each time i have to search for it couple of seconds even if i know the location, so it is not so bad...
If a WHITE pixel only shows up on a BLACK background, is that a stuck pixel or a dead pixel?

I had a single dead pixel and T-Mobile replaced my device. Not sure about HTC's policy, but I'm sure it's similar.
sadly got some dead pixels, the shape of the outline of the moon, though only i notice it hehe, my brother wich is a freak in those things and he didnt notice
I plan to leave my bad pixel until just before the warranty is up then I'll get it replaced and sell a like new phone for the HTC Two lol
Thanks for the heads up about the "pixel fixer" apk. Looking at the images, my phone is defect free. Rock on!

I have sent mine for a replacement today because of the dead pixel and a small darker spot on the display. HTC support said they are replacing defective units(dead pixels) 30 days after buying. Hope my operator will give me another one in the next few days.
My screen has been like this since day one. In the pictures you can see brighter back light bleeding from the top center/right, the right middle/bottom, and the bottom center/left. Also, a bit of light shines through the white bezel in the bottom center which now that I notice, won't stop bugging me.
Was hoping it would go away but I got this on Amazon so an exchange would be easy as long as it comes back in stock soon (white 32GB).
Is mine the only one plagued with this? Keep in mind that this is with brightness turned all the way up on a black screen.
Yea I have screen bleed at two spots but it doesn't bother me unless for some reason it starts to expand then it will become an issue.
Most LCD panels, which are backlit, will have some light bleed around the edges. You can return the phone for a different one, but you'll probably have the same issue. It is the nature of backlit LCD panels. AMOLEDs don't have this problem since each pixel has its own light source.
Thanks for the input guys!
I don't seem to have this issue on mine. I can't notice anything like this when I turn on Moto Display. Is there an easy way for me to test this out?
the nature of LCD. one of the reasons I enjoy amoled as well.

I have this screen bleeding too.
I've got my device yesterday and started "Dead Pixel Test", on the black screen i saw the screen-bleeding.
All my previous devices didn't have a screen bleeding, or it wasn't noticeable like that.
I've my XT1572 purchased in July, 2016. I notice a yellowish tint on screen. However, my other friend who has XT1572 too doesn't has any yellow tint and the whites look truely white instead of any other color's tint. So is my display defective? Is there anyone else who is having the same issue? My phone as well as his phone isn't rooted nor any modifications are done to any. I've started this thread because most of the threads on yellowish screen tint in Moto X Style are from countries other than India. So if any Indian XT1572 user has faced the same issue, please help with the same.
I had it... But i replaced my device.. Now it's bright and beautiful.. There's no solution for it. You can either replace the handset ( if possible ) or can change the display from service center

My replacement period is already gone. So changing the display would do I guess. Do you have any idea how long it could take to change the display?
It depends on your location. Go and check
My screen felt slightly yellow too from what I was used to on a Oneplus one. So I installed frankenkernel and KCAL color control, now my display has pure whites and colors almost look like an amoled screen.
But if its super yellow and you think its a hardware issue and not calibration you should exchange it.

Good to know that. I checked it with another MXPE and a OnePlus Two, both had pure white, mine instantly looked yellow on bring the devices close to each other for comparison. Also my XPE has a bit of screen bleeding on left side beezel.
Hey all,
Yesterday morning woke up to my MZF's screen being all weird. Anything dark looks fine, but the white levels are very subdued and even seem to have a slight reddish tinge. And there's also these two black dots that wont go anywhere. Seem larger than just a dead pixel. This has been going on for a full day now; every once in a while it seems that the colors go back to normal, but the problems seems to always return.
Photos below show my MZF (right) next to my buddy's MZF (left). Both displays are at full brightness. Didn't purchase protection through Best Buy or Verizon, so I'm likely gonna have to deal with Motorola Customer Service. Yay.
Any one else seen this? Any ideas?
Do a factory reset and see if it calibrates itself

Yeah, I did that right after posting. No luck. Thanks tho.
Try the hardware tests from device help?

Tried those too, no luck. Have a new MZF on its way from Motorola, warranty is covering it.
I JUST sent my Moto Z Force in for nearly this same issue. I was cleaning the screen off and I had a black dot pop up and after about 3 hours of it showing up I had a bright yellow line running from the dot to the top of the screen. Warranty is covering mine as well.
I had the same problem with the color/contrast on my Moto Z Force, but without any black dots. Mine had the same blue tint/haze to the display. I did a factory reset with no luck. I am getting a warranty replacement today, but this morning the problem disappeared (6 days after the problem started). I think I'm still going to take the replacement.
I have a little different issue. Screen has 4 rows of multi colored small lines. Unreadable, yet the touch and buttons are still functioning, any ideas?
