I've seen quite a few posts regarding returning GTablet's because of a dead pixel. Is this a realistic concern of trouble to come? I paid for it so it should be perfect? or buyers regret with an easy escape clause?
I'm asking because I have a dead pixel but it doesn't bother me as long as I know it's not going to be infectious... anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
I've got no dead pixels on my GTab, at least none that I've noticed. However my Samsung desktop monitors each have a dead pixel (one turns white instead of black, one just doesn't work). They've been that way since day one, and are 3 years old. No sign of them 'spreading' to other pixels.
I exchanged a Gtab because of dead pixel (snapped and got a refund when the second one had bigger problems). It seems to me like on a touchscreen device, the most important thing is a the screen. If the screen is having problems from day one, I don't trust the device. I'd return it.

See I have similar experiences with LCD's as well so I never even thought about returning it. Didn't know if there was something different about these touchscreens that would be cause for concern.
Pretty much as the title says to be honest, have had the phone 14 days but three are being gits about the exchanging it for no particular reason.
I have tried downloading and installing any and every free pixel fixer from the Market and left them running any where from 2-30 mins.
Like I say its one green pixel right in the middle of the top third of the screen.
Any suggestions please or home made remedies, I have been advised about running a magnet over it quickly but not really keen n doing that to be honest.
Thanks in advance.
Well most dead pixel fixers should run for hours and not minutes... Also, there's the pressure technique which consists of pressing down on the dead pixel. Only catch is you can't really do that with the SGS2 because of the glass. So your best bet is return the phone for warranty replacement (If possible)
U said it is a dead pixel and u want to cure it using old tech used for LCD screens.
Our GS2 has AMOLED screen which is different from LCD.
LCD pixels physically twist to let block or allow light through them which is why they get stuck.Here all those apps or home remedies may work.
For an AMOLED pixel to get "stuck", it would have to burn out meaning it would be permanently black, or if the controller had a short that for some reason continually told a particular pixel to stay a particular color.
To make long story short-claim factory warranty ASAP.
After receiving my SGS3, I was extremely satisfied with the overall look and feel of the device. One of the main selling points (for me at least) was the deep-black color that a Super AMOLED screen had to offer. In the process of rooting the phone, I discovered several of the infamous black spots on my screen, against the dark black Downloader screen. I estimate I have about 10-15 of these, each of which are about 2x2 pixels in size, with the exception of one pattern that looks like this. ---> -__- (not kidding, lol) I've been on the fence about trying to get a replacement. So my question to you all is; How many black spots is too many? Or do they even bother you enough to do anything about them?

lots is usual
hi. i discovered something like 10 black spots on my s3 in total dark environment with dead pixel testing software while screen was total black. that's the only case you can see them. i checked my wife's s3 right after and had also black spots under same conditions.
the day after i checked my brother's s3 - same.
all of them have a few - i doubt if there is any display without. but why bother? do you ever have blank screen in black room? i found out with dead pixel testing, but i can’t trace them in any other case. Enjoy your phone and omit the insignificant - invincible - dots/patterns. i got over it after reading that is common and seeing the other two s3s. seeing your question i smiled understanding your worries of defective product it's common so omit it.
I don't like that my phone has but EVERY AMOLED screens have them. Trying to get it replaced won't do anything. My PSVita has them, my GS2, GS3 :/
It seems to be a fact of life with current amoled screens, and is really not noticeable unless you are looking for it. If you're really concerned you're probably better off with slcd like the one x or evo lte.

I would give returning it a shot if it annoys you, unfortunately the phone is in such high demand and short supply you may have to wait a little. I had the same issue with my Samsung laptop. I called customer service and they told me to return it to the store I bought it for an exchange. I did and they exchanged it for one that looks great.
Hi,
I just received a new S3, and I'm noticing what I would call a couple of dead pixels: on a white screen (but also red & green, on blue it is not noticeable/ I cannot judge) at any brightness, there are two distincs points (I would say, pixels) that remains black.
When magnifying the zone with a lens, I can notice the defect is circular with the size of few pixels (<10) with lower luminosity then the rest of the display, with the center emitting no light.
Anyone with the same experience? How this is evolving with time: starts working? worsen?
One pixel is towards the border and just the second (in the center) bothers, but effect is very small and noticeable only when you know it is there.
I took the phone on Amazon, so with great flexibility for returning it, but I got it on .de (and I'm living in .fr) because of the great price (359€) and it is a bit annoying returning it.
Thanks for the feedbacks

I ve has 4 S3's, all brand new, 2 out of the 4 had dead pixels.

My solution to a stuck pixel
About Dead/Stuck pixel on OLED Device Display
I have a S3 GT-9300 that I use daily, the other day I dropped it on a hard surface and a single shiny green stuck pixel appeared on the bottom left corner of the display, it was a bit of an eye sore really, But I'll share my simple FIX if its a related problem like mine was*I thought if the drop caused it, then a related solution may fix it, so I simple activated display and went to the home page.then I turned the display facing my palm and held the device carefully at the top end and slapped it several times hard into the palm of my hand where the pixel problem area was. then stuck pixel went away...
I hope this works for you too*
@^
Well, that's certainly one of a kind....
So noob, just send it back. No biggie It's Samsung's fault for having appalling build quality. So just go into the store and scream your head off till you get a new one, or preferably an s4 for inconveniences.
Hi All,
I've preordered M10Pro, expecting delivery middle of this months but am still wondering if I've made a right decision. I have never used a phone with amoled as my daily driver. I drive a car quite a bit, using google maps for around 1h daily plus every 1-2 weeks for at least 5-6 hours a single day. Additionally I am pretty used to now using AOD (LG G6), it's not clear if AOD on M10Pro is changing its position in order to prevent burn in so these to plus navigation bar drives my crazy when I think I could spend considerable amount of money on a phone which will get burn in after a few months.
Unfortunately regular M10 won't be available on my market and I do not want to order outside as I am used to having my devices covered by 24 months guarantee.
What are your experiences with amoled? What are you feeling when it comes to burn-in and M10Pro? Should I be even bothered?
Thanks

i choose the Mate 10 6+128GB!
I know that for some of you there may be an option to choose between 10 and 10pro but for me, when I want to have a full guarantee locally options are -to buy 10 pro with amoled or to buy from competition which does not have amoled, so basically htc, which to me is not a real alternative
As per android central review on YouTube out today, after "several weeks" of usage he had no burn in issue for the Mate10 pro.

Will watch it straight away. Hope it clears all my doubts.
It will burn in eventually. It's a reality with AMOLED. May be sooner, may be later, as each screen is different but it will happen. This is why I really try to avoid AMOLED. I prefer peace of mind over a more saturated screen.
Not to mention I've never heard of the company supplying Huawei with their AMOLED screens. If I have to get one, it'd probably be a Samsung.
Not sure why LCD has so much hate. It's perfect on my Mate 10 and with HDR videos it's stunning. No worries about burn in too.

I have seen the AOD on the Mate 10 pro in different locations, so i understand it will be moving about.
And navigation is not static, so maybe it won't be an issue ?
Everyone is going oled whether its LG, Apple, Pixel 2 and OnePlus. And there is that BOE manufacturer ready to bring out their oled as well and so will be seeing oleds even more. Apple and others know that oled is prone to burn in and yet saw it as fit to use on their important iphone x, which means the probability is low and depends on a certain harsh usage.
If Huawei covers warranty for a burn in it would be reassuring though. Personally, i don't use my phone in max brightness and prolonged periods with a static image. And i use the auto brightness most of the time. I haven't had a problem with my oled on the P9 plus after 1.5 years of usage.
Every big player will get Amoleds to their phone....
Why? Because of money and bussiness....
Why to make a perfect phone that will last for 3 years without a problem.
They need more to sell...... I would buy a mate 10 pro if there would be a ips display.... oled no....
I had a lcd once, on a sony : I hated it. I always had oled screens, and never had any burn-in problem (I keep my phones for 2 years usually) and I also use google map a lot>
I have now had my Mate 10 Pro for about 2 months and i am absolutly loving it.
I can confirm that the AOD is moving around, so nothing to worry about there, and the screen itself is stunnig to look at.
Will i get burn-in over time? I don't know. But i really like the screen and the pictures it creates.

Blotchy Black
Hi!
Is anybody experiencing a blotchy screen when you render plain black images? I noticed this in my stock gallery app, Netflix, and video player. It is noticeable in a very dark room. It bothers me since I know that when an OLED panel renders black color it turns off so no light is emitted. But in this case I see a blotchy black.
This "sooner or later", burn in is not how it works. I have a Galaxy S3 and a Note4 with zero burn in, even though I used both heavily for years. (Even for GPS, etc.),
The content matters. Like my sister had an S4 and it had Facebook Messenger burnt into the screen because she was chatting for so many hours.
And after she gave the phone to me just a few months back so I can sell it, the burn in went away after mixed use.
Tl;Dr: Burn in is more of a meme, it's more like retention. I mean the Mate10 Pro has on screen buttons but that's not a 100% chance that it will burn in.
Send it back and get a new one from Amazon. I saw this problem with the camera in white or clears walls. It seems "banding".
I acquired a second hand Mate 10 Pro 3 weeks ago (first owner bought it on the 24th of November), it already had burn-in zones: navigation dock button, Google Search, bottom system buttons bar and many other ones from various apps' icons... These zones are mostly noticeable on clear or white screen/pages (eg: about:blank URL in Chrome browser). At reception, I immediately selected a black theme and activated Battery's dark mode. Now I can see my own apps setup marking the screen... After only 3 weeks...
Am I the only one ?
I'm contacting Huawei customer service.
I finally went to Paris' Huawei customer care center. They told me they never saw/heard about such issue, hard to believe.
They kept my phone 24h and they replaced the full front part (including battery): they only keep the motherboard (can't say if it includes cameras' parts too).
They ensured me waterproofing should be the same. 200 meters after I left the building, I noticed a huge gap where the back plate should stick to the phone's body. So long for waterproofing I suppose.
I immediately went back, and in 10min they replaced the back cover for a brand new one; things are better, but after throrough look, I can see back cover is not perfectly glued... But hey, I have an almost brand new device now.
I took time to compare the demo devices they have, and the Mate 10 Pro had a burned-in screen too, quickly noticeable thanks to Chrome's about:blank URL
