Hello everyone,
I just booted up my Hero, and I noticed more than 6 dead pixels.
I used these unstuck applications but didn't seem to work...
They only appear when in black, so they ain't that big of an issue but do you think I should send it for repair?
Thanks
Definitely.
I'd send back a 1920x1200 PC screen for less than 6 faulty pixels... it's completely unacceptable for a 320x480 screen.
Dead pixels won't show on a black screen. I'm assuming you mean possibly hot pixels on the boot screen. They're probably specks of dust.

I agree with Switchbitch dead pixels will always been seen the color will be always wrong and not only when its black. still its intresting how dust get up there.

Well no, they appear after boot screen, too. For example in Market/Settings or wherever black color is.

What color does the dead pixel show is it red??
Yeah I think so. I just tried to shake the phone and it seems that they are gone or whatever. But now I can clearly see a dust piece which is white. So I suppose the gap does exist at least in my phone.
Not annoying but oh well... if it gets filled with them I would need to send it for repair.
Does warranty fill these kind of issues?
I might have the same problem but it is no dust or hot pixel but the space between pixels.
It seems to me the film layer wasn't cut properly in the factory with the result that backlight shines between the dark pixels.
It isn't dust because there is no sidelight to light up dust and the spots are shining very bright white so the light definately comes from the back.
Furthermore my screen fits fine into the casing.
Maybe it is because I always have the brightness at full I notice it more than others. When I run Spark in classic mode or Draw! you get a complely black screen to test it... a pixel-test program is an option also.
I noticed it in the beginning when 3 positive-dead pixels where so very small they could not be hot pixels. Now, one month after the begin of use it has grown to about 9 of them but they are so very very small that I am not going to make a hassle about it.
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?

Running on the assumption that its a dead pixel the only way to repair it would be replace the lcd but its seems quite drastic for the sake of one pixel.

The pixel is visible (bright, white maybe?) so it's not dead, just stuck.
And no, stuck pixels are not fixed under warranty unless they cross over a certain threshold (a certain number of them over the whole screen, or another, smaller number if they're all close to one another).
But it's not the phone's fault, almost all screens develop these over time. My old screen had 2 of them in under a year.

Yea. Mine was. I ended swapping it to full immersive mode root.
It went away mine wasn't to bad. But it's a common issue on any and all oled screens.

I also have burn in issues, my device is about as old as yours. In my case when looking at a blue screen I see the Whatsapp phone call icon (the one used for Whatsapp phone calls when in a chat). Also the borders of the upper notification bar is slightly visible. What did you end up doing?

What did you end up doing? I am considering contacting Amazon because it is still under warranty but on the other hand it is barely visible (but still, it's there and as you said i can' unsee it) and who can guarantee that it won't happen again?

I am using the rainbow/colours screensaver when charging, I read somewhere that might help to reduce the burn in over time, but I don't see any improvement after a couple of weeks using it yet

Nice solution to this is to install Renovate ICE ROM, change status bar colours transparency to about 60% so the whites are dimmer / less vivd.
I also use XDA Nav bar with split pill mode so I don't have any full white static parts. (Nav bar moved below screen) (See screenshot attached) All I do is swipe up onto the screen in the apropriate area. (You will have to config pill yourself unless I can get a config over to you)

I have Amazon warranty of 2 years so I guess they would replace it or refund me if I contacted them... in my case the burn in is visible but not that bad in everyday use though it still bothers me... I also think there is no point in getting a replacement from Amazon without having the guarantee that it won't happen again after some time.

Let me guess, you had black navbar, status bar, and keyboard. If that's the case then of course they burned in. Burn in is nothing more than uneven decay of pixels. The black one didn't decay but the rest of your screen did

Ive started to notice in life yea amoleds look good but black screens = burn when you got bright colors on that black.
I have keyboard burnt in , a Whatsapp chat and some icons of a game...what can I do?
So, I am 1 unlucky in 1000 who has a tianma lcd panel and facing screen ghosting since one month after buying the Note 7. Is there any software fix for this? I heard Redmi note 4x has similar issue. It doesn't affect performence but unpleasing to the eyes. I am not looking forward to replace the lcd as the phone us still brand new. It is imported, so there’s no way to return it. Thanks in advance.
Same thing is happening to me, sadly... Don't think there's a way to solve this through software, as it's a hardware issue
Bought Redmi Note 7S (Lavander) Onyx Black 4GB/64GB Yesterday , Faced Touch Ghosting.
Edit : Requested For Replacement * From Flipkart.

Actually, I did a little goof. Turns out I have a BOE panel instead of Tianma which is good, but even on that panel, I still get some ghosting... so I can't imagine how bad it must be for the worst panels Guess that's what you get when you cheap out on a phone

Wouldn't I need to pay for the replacement? Or if covered under warranty as it's a manufacturing issue?
So basicly even if you replace the phone under warranty, you will get the same panel and the ghost screen will be there again after some use?
you can use this tips to modify the display color a little, to minimize the ghosting effect.
I have tianma with pretty nasty retention, and modifying the display kcal does the job.
**You need use custom kernel with kernel manager or simply a LOS-based ROM to apply this mod.
I have tianma, everything just looked fine, this is only "things" , not she or he , so for me just use it
Fix for now
I thought I was the only one. Bought this device from China and started having this issue after around 4 months.
The problem does not occur with pitch black wallpaper.
I did some research and found this app (Ghost screen).
It's not in play store.
https://apkhome.net/ghostscreen-1-0-1-4/
I do not face the problem anymore.
Try it. And let us know.

Solution in Pixel Experience Rom
I found a workaround in the pixel experience rom without any apps .
Go to Settings > Display > Live display > Colour Calibration > and set all 3 values to 92.
Weird. I have a Tianma display, yet I am not experiencing any noticeable ghosting. Maybe your screen is faulty.
