Okay so I wanted to make a thread to see how many other people have stuck or dead pixels on their Rezounds. Please list how many phones you have had to exchange, and if the issue has been resolved or not. I just want to see if this is a widespread isssue, and we can notify HTC.
Phone #1 - Dead pixel replaced at store
Phone # 2- Given in store with dead pixel (rep denied seeing the dead pixel)
Phone # 3 - After getting another in store and hours after leaving the store a pixel popped up in the corner of the lower right screen :/.
Phone # 4 - All is well.
Mine has a dead pixel. It's red and in the upper right corner. You can't really see it during the day, but it sticks out at night. I already went in to the store and a girl working there confirmed that she could see it also(although she struggled). I decided to hold off for now though as I got it from Best Buy Mobile & have 30 days.
The 1st unit I tried did have a dead pixel right in the middle of the display, but the 2nd unit does not (I checked).
Seems like this is a widespread issue. I do have until the 22nd (tomorrow) for my 14 days. Idk if I want to go back into a store and pray for a good rep that isn't blind and can spot the dead pixel that is sticking out like a sore thumb.
Has anyone used one of the pixel fixer apps on the market with success?

Didn't Verizon say you have until Jan to return/exchange the phone if you purchased it on Nov 15th and on. Minus 35 restocking fee.

I came form the RAZR which I pre-ordered and it shipped out on 11/9. So that was before they offered that promotion . So 14 days is counted out form the 9th, so the 22nd is my last day 8(.

I tried something called Pixel Fixer 2.0.0 and Dead Pixel Detect & Fix but neither helped at all.
The pixel seems to be vanishing for me slightly and slowly. I have been switching inbetween these two. Dead Pixel Detect and Fix and Pixel Curer. Dead Pixel Detect is full screen and Pixel Curer is section by section. Give em a shot see if they help your stuck red pixel.
Updated in OP. THREE Rezounds in a row with stuck pixels fail. I didn't have any defects with my RAZR just the fact that it had horrible battery life.
damn dude, that sucks..that's some bad luck. i've got mine from day 1 and i've checked with programs and i have all my pixels fine. HTC must be made aware of these defects!

Yeah it's very annoying the fact that I would get THREE defective phones in a row. I'm going to try a few pixel repair programs but I doubt it'll work. I don't know if I want to deal with the whole warranty exchange process again. But it is extremely disappointing a screen of that caliber will have stuck/dead pixels. I could wait to see if it gets unstuck, but the longer I wait the higher chances the device I get will be a refurb from warranty.
That's surprising to hear. I've looked at dozens of Rezound units and have never seen a dead pixel. If you see this, please immediately contact your Verizon customer support to inquire about a replacement.

This is the third unit I'm, brand new out of the box from the vzw store. It's always a "stuck" pixel, so far I've had one white, one green , and now this one is blue D:.

Sounds like the same batch. Can you try a different store?
Let's Track It
In hopes of figuring out if these problems are just a bad batch of phones, I have started a thread asking if people with problems can list the problems and the manufacture date or batch number from the problematic phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359862
Maybe we can figure this out.
Thanks!
it might not be acceptable to you, but generally speaking on LCD displays, dead pixels are a reality and there is usually a threshold count on what fails and what is accept as "normal/pass" - its usually in the range of 3-5 pixels

1 pixel on a 4.3 inch screen sticks out like a sore thumb compared to 3-5 on a 20 + inch monitor. Also it's not acceptable for Verizon either since they're giving replacement units. I doubt anyone here with this phone will accept a single stuck/dead pixel on their phone.
Happy to say that #4 was the charm! No stuck pixels/dead pixels .

I have around 4 stuck pixels. They show up on grey screens as little light dots. Gets kind of annoying watching movies when and such. Tried the jscreen fix from the market but no luck.
Is this pretty normal? What's Sprint/htc policy? Just wondering if every phone has a few. Thanks in advance?

Take it back, tell them you want an exchange due to screen defect. If it's one lone pixel I can see it being dismissible but a cluster is not good.
In the general market they usually have a dual standard.
up to X amount of pixels bad is considered within tolerance however if the pixels are adjacent then the threshold is lower so it would fail quality control.
If they give you grief just ask for a refund and rebuy it
Take it back. Its defective. They will replace it

i tried my friends , turning on camera in completely dark room and didnt see any pixel issues
I have found from all these devices it is pretty common to see a stuck pixel here and there. I think you have to decide how bad it is or isn't. Sure you can exchange it but then you have to keep worrying if the next one will be worse and it will then become a never ending cycle!

Curious what you re going to do? I have 1 tiny one on the side of the phone that is only noticeable in a dark room on a black background. On the fence on what to do....I went through this with my TP2 and went through 4 phones and ended up keeping the best one of all of them but still had a stuck one. Just wasn't as bad as the other 3.

That program didn't fix my issue and with the other program I noticed a total of 4 all generally in the center of the screen. I am going to have Sprint exchange and see what happens on the next one. Since yours is in the corner I would let it slide.

Good idea. I stopped by the store today and they just about laughed me and my 5 stuck pixels out of the building.....tossers.
They ran a "test" and said everything was fine and a few stuck pixels were fairly normal. I called sprint and they offered a new phone that should be here Monday. Kudos to sprint!
Hopefully the new one doesn't have the same problem.

keep us posted, good luck
I've gotten tests to check my pc monitors so I googled to find something for an Android phone (Rezound will be my first) and came up with several options, a few apps and some methods without using an app.
Apps I found were:
Dead Pixel Test
Dead Pixel Tester
Dead Pixel Detect
Any recommendations on these or other methods?
Antutu Tester. You can text pixels, battery and touch points I believe.
Ask Xoxigenboy, he actually has a dead pixel and can probably verify which ones work.

on my screen the dead pixel is red. you can't realky see it during the day, but at night it stands out when the background is dark(if you have a dark wallpaper, watching a video)
I'm currently waiting outside a Verizon store for them to open & hopefully they'll be able to see it.
but basically, an easy way to check is to set a really dark background(preferbly just black), set the display to auto & wait till you are somewhere with low light. any red dots and its exchange time.
Did they do the exchange there for you? I've never been able to swap a device right at the store, they always overnight it, so I just call now lol.
Thanks everyone... I'm anxiously awaiting my phone to check it all out.

they told me that since it was purchased elsewhere(best buy mobile) that id have to go there for the exchange.... which I figured, just hoped they'd do it there at verizon. although, since best buy allows an exchange within 30 days I think I am going to hold on to this one a bit longer(then will exchange on like day 29 or 30).
You are probably better off not fighting holiday shoppers anyways, lol.

Verizon chick rep told me there were like 5 accidents by the mall today LOL. I shoulda hit on her cause she had huge tits, but I was more interested in my phone LOL. Then some blonde customer was next to me and shes was like omigawd what are you getting. I just looked at her and stared with a blank expression on my face. Considering she was also buying the Rezound which was in my hand.. DERP!
I just met my girlfriend of 8 months parents today (She/they are from Boston). I took them to Granite City for dinner and I didn't think how idiotic of an idea it was until I started driving that direction. I avoid the Mishawaka commercial area like the ****ing plague and I remembered why 45 minutes into my 9 mile drive.
nice. topic went from dead pixels to holiday traffic.

Don't need an app to see that you have more than your share of dead pixels.
Ok I think I have lit pixel. When I lower the notification bar over the home screen I get bright white lit pixel on the lower right of the screen. It's only noticeable when I lower the notification bar and not on any other black screen. Anyone with this problem?
green pixel
I have single green pixel here. Like you, it only appears against a dark background and it's located in the bottom-right corner. Best Buy didn't have any extra units for replacement but assured me that next week I'd receive a replacement if I just brought it back in. My OCD has kicked in though and it's bothering me more each time I see it!
Yeah I have a dead or lit pixel. Its white on a black back ground My Best Buy had extras that they couldn't sell but I'm guessing they could do a exchange so I'm not that bummed out.
Looks like HTC did a good job of this not being a big problem, base on the lack of dead pixel threads.

are you kidding me!! for the past two weeks ive been trying to get a flawless phone ive been to 4 sprint stores, all the evos id seen had dead pixels, so i dont know what are you talking about, i am really frustrated with this phone and htc for using cheap screens on this device, I bet most of you do have a dead pixel, download the detect dead pixel app and youll see
Wow... maybe its just me. But I think exchanging a $600 for a dead pixel is a little too excessive... I have 1 dead pixel near the bottom, but it doesn't really bug me that much. It's gives it some personality =D
Dead pixels have been a problem with LCD technology since the beginning and these screens HTC are using are anything but cheap quality. This is simply a recurring issue with LCD's in general.
I'm not saying you have to deal with it or that you need to stop being so picky. Hopefully you find the perfect phone.
And FYI I don't have a single stuck or dead pixel and I bought this phone off of Craigs list. It was a roll of the dice and I got a perfect defectless phone.

ive had dead pixels on lcds and phones before, over time they do come back to life.
pointless taking it back unless theres a cluster of dead pixels in one spot.
I am on my third Lte because of dead pixels. The sprint store didn't like me when I came in to replace the replacement because of the same exact problem. I told the salesman that I had paid full price and I would not stand for a defective product. I told him look at it this way, would you buy a brand new car with a dent in the door without them fixing it before you signed the papers? I think not. People should not stand for anything less than a perfect phone when it is brand new. If HTC and Sprint had better quality control then I wouldn't have had to return 2 phones.

I had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. I thought I could live with it until I tried watching a movie. It looked like a baseball floating in the middle of the screen. If I am renewing my contract and buying a $600 phone, it better damn well be perfect. There is no reason to accept a phone with a manufacturer defect if it bothers you, regardless how small.

So it appears that I have a dead pixel. I can't really tell. It's definitely not on the surface, so it's either dust underneath the screen or its a dead pixel. But it's a very very tiny black spot, right on the white part of the clock on the homescreen. Should I take this baby back? I can probably live with it for 2 years...i guess...it's just knowing it's there that bugs me. There's no danger of more dead pixels is there? Is one dead pixel indication that more may happen?

If you look right at it you could suffer a seizure.
If the pixel is the only screen issue I'd say keep it. Swapped mine only to get one with a dead pixel somewhere else and now I also have the dreaded yellow cloud towards the bottom of the screen. So count yourself lucky if that's the worst of your problems. Take care.

Judging from the review on the market, NO. But, I haven't used it personally. however, I would think if something bad happened, you would see a ton of bad reviews talking about this.
HI, I just wanted to add something to the list of problems that the new evo is having, yesterday i went to the sprint store to buy an evo lte, but i couldnt take any home, since all of them were plagued by dead pixels, the sprint rep open six boxes and all of them had a least one dead pixel, I went home very frustrated i cant understant how HTC uses cheap screens on its premiun devices, I am one of the guys that cant stand to know to have a dead pixel on my screen, since once you know its there is a pain not to look at it. So i will keep going to every sprint store until i find one with no dead/stuck pixels. It may take months but ill be worth it. I personally suggest and encourage that you guys download the app called dead pixel test, and try to find any dead/stuck pixels on your screens if you do find some, take your device to sprint and return it, and get a new one without any deffect, lets make htc to stop giving us cheap quality parts in our premiun devices, we are paying a lot of money so we deserve to have a device with not deffects. I can understand a dead pixel on a tv screen because is big, but on a small screen is unacceptable!!!. Please tell me what you guys think about it, and please bear with my english since is not my first language. Thank you

Dead pixels and LCD screens go hand in hand. Its the nature of the beast. Just wait and see when the GS3 gets release.
I noticed last night that I had like 2 or 3 dead pixels
i can probably understand a dead/stuck pixel on a big screen but on a small screen is just unacceptable.
JFYI, I ran the dead pixel test on my old 3D and had some obvious ones on that phone, but I just ran it on this one and what I thought was a dead pixel was just a speck of dust. Kept thinking I was seeing them and kept being able to just wipe them off. Sounds dumb but try it.
well my experience with this phone has been a nightmare i have been to 5 sprint stores around my area including best buy, and i have checked 24 htc evos lte and all of them had a least one dead pixel on then, im really frustrated with htc for this, i really like the phone but im starting to think that all of you phones have a dead/stuck pixel as well but you havent check it throughly. i really want a evo lte but i not longer wish to fight with the sprint reps for going over and over and keep returning phones for this. i am not crazy maybe im just having bad luck, but its embarrasing going back to the store and all the reps looking at me like (i dont want to sell you anything), oh i really hate my luck. but i hate htc the most for using cheap screens on this phone.
Wow, I have a slight bit of the yellow cloud toward the bottom of my screen, and I thought about going to try and swap it... but from what I'm hearing about the amount of devices out there with dead pixels, I think I'm going to keep the one I have since there are no dead pixels on it. I've checked.
You may want to report these issues to Sprint either by calling them or by posting on their forums.
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. My phone doesn't seem to have any issues at all. Curious to run that app, but don't want to be disappointed and find something wrong with my phone,,,

However, 1 dead pixel out of 2M is still quite a tiny fraction. Haha. I didnt have a point.

The Gap Issue
If your within your 14 days exchange it , if you got It outright full price you have 30 days .
Personally if it's very minuscule and not worth crabbin over ,just let it be .
HTC would not have let this go if they thought it would pose a negative Sales risk.... or hurt the lcd with dirt and debris.
And by the way ''The gap ''It's on almost every device just fyi.. probably a million .

i had 3 htc one's, all of them has stuck pixels.. i got my first htc one online and sadly i got a refurbished one, it has 4 stuck pixels to any color and a gap top-to bottom side was perfect tho. so i returned it and i will get my money back within 30 days i think. so i decided to my local tmo store and got another one, but it has 1 tiny stuck pixel which is annoying at night time, its noticeable in black background so i went back to tmo and they give me a new handset and it give me the same result so what i did is just return the item and got refunded again.. the handsets i got from tmo store was build way better than the one i got online, it is almost perfect but there still gaps of course.. so once i return the handset i ask them to give me a call once they get a new batch in stock. so hopefully next time i will try to buy one, i'm getting a better batch. x finger to me..

Yea, I just called to get an exchange, i'm crossing my fingers that I get a good one.. lol. I will get it on the 6th so.. here's hoping! And hope you get a good one too
I have 2 stuck pixels on the bottom that you can hardly see, especially when you're outside. I don't notice it, but only when the screen is pitch black and focusing it dead on.
Something I can live with especially I have 0 gaps and the speaker grills are flushed with the screen.
If it's something minor, just stick with it. In my experience, you'll just end up getting another unit that may be worse.
I can agree that I have not seen any dead pixels in a long time–The last time I remember seeing one was when a child poked my laptop screen. Other than that, have you dropped or damaged the phone in any way?
