Hello
Yesterday at night when I was playing "another world" I noticed 2 unusal dots. The first one just above the search button does indeed move everytime I rotate the phone. Everytime I rotate the phone to left the dot appears but when I rotate it to the right, it comes back again, WTF? Anyone have this kind of issue? I have attached the pictures. Anyway to fix it?
EDIT: It doesn't seem to be dead pixles, it something else but I dont know what it is...it's moving when I rotate the phone and AFAIK dead pixles does not move.
Something else strange I have noticed is that everytime I close an app by clicking the "home button" for example Angry birds, the sound is still there. I need to close via the task manager in order to make the sound disappear. Not the sound of the game but a strange sound is still left
EDIT2: Is it possible that is water? Because I installed invisible shield some day ago...maybe little water got under the screen and is "floating"?
It won't be "water" cause water under/on the screen would never "rotate" with screen, I guess it's some "background" process that to monitor some action, and a minimum GUI was "1 pixel". So it a white dot

Ah oke I was scared it was water. So there is no way to get rid of it? Its normal?
Did these dot only appear while you play this game or always on your display? Try to make a pure black(#000000) picture and view it as Full Screen mode, if it always appear, then it maybe some social apps or monitor like face recognition or gesture recognition services. If it only appear in these game, it maybe some social tools integrated in your games or cheating tools.
I guess it's posterior one, so just leave it.
If it's always exist, and you ARE a GEEK, then check every PROGRAMES on your Razr and figure out which/what perform this
If you're not a geek and it always exist, try to backup your system and data, then do a Factory Reset. Everythings goes well means it was some issues within some Apps you installed, If it still there, then it must been some issues in your integrated apps or some ROM issue
you can use es task manager's screen checker to check for dead pixels, it can also kill task, and manage startup tasks. I find it faster than razr's built in task manager.
I have no idea what that little white dot is, I also noticed it when I got my Razr back in November. On the bright side I can tell you that out of 4 Razrs I've had and my girlfriends 2 all 6 of them have had the white dot in that same spot. I don't think it's anything to be worried about. Also, neither me or my girlfriend use a screen protector that requires a solution to adhere so you can rule that out as well.

I just tried a pure black picture from the app "Dead pixel Detect and fix" and the white dote was still there. It is not just in games it's always there but most visible when there is a black background. I reall have no clue what program I should check, I thought it was watchdog tasker but I unistalled it and it's still there. I am using stock Rom 2.3.6 651.167.21.NonEFIGSretail.en.EU
Is there a way I can take backup when I am not rooted? I have not rooted the phone yet.

I just installed ES task manager and used screen checker, the dot is only visibile when there is black background sometimes blue background to. Is it OK to kill all the apps to see if the white dot disappear?

Ah alright maybe it's suppose to be like that then...I have no clue
Edit: I am performing a factory reset, I will come back with the results.
Edit2: It looks like its still there after factory reset.
I'm beginning to think it's just an optical illusion brought on by glare and the capacitive buttons but who knows. It doesn't really bother me at all to be honest I just found it to be weird.

That means you have dead pixels. The other one at the corner of the screen is the shiny reflection from the phone design.
Bring it to a service center for an exchange, it looks like a big chunk of dead pixels at one spot.

Dont know if its worth exchange it and possible get one even worse..
I have emailed the store I bought it from, I think I now have had the phone in exactly 2 weeks. If its going in to repairs imo its not worth sending it. But if they exchange it then its ok. But the problem is I installed a Zagg shield on it...can I remove it and apply it on the new phone?

I don't know if you can take the screen protector off and swap it. I don't use one don't like them. Especially the wet install ones. Water and electric do not mix. Ever. Even in tiny amounts.
If it doesn't bother you just leave it. I'm just saying I wouldn't accept it. These devices are way too expensive to have any kind of defect however small.

I agree. I will definitely push the store to let them exchange it for me, even if it's one pixle a phone for 600$ should not have any damaged. About the screen protector **** it, if they exchange the phone for me I wont use one anymore.

Ok Looking for some help to see if anybody know how to reset the horizontal calibration on this phone.
I flashed a new ROM yesterday and when I went to set the calibration after I pressed the horizontal calibration and green circle centers it will shoot off to one side once it's finished which and forces everything to be in landscape mode. The only way I can get the phone to not stay in a constant landscape mode is to off the auto rotate function.
It wasn't the ROM because after several downloads and flashes (thinking something may have not downloaded or installed right) it kept doing it. Trying other ROMS gave the same results. ODIN back to stock gave the same results.
Has anyone ever had to reset this or have any other suggestions on how to go about correcting this problem?
Thanks in advance
Just lay the phone down on its back and push calabrate horizontal in the gereral settings

LOL thanks but that is the problem, when I push calibrate the green circle brings the ball to the center and when it finishes the ball shoots to the right side and stays there. not sure if its a hardware or software problem but it happens no matter what I try do do. I even odined back to pure stock hoping it would reset it but no luck so far.
Just to clarify, when it's done calibrating and still lying on a flat surface, the green ball moves?

Yes, the green ring brings the ball to the center and when it's done calibrating that you get the little pop up "calibrated" the ball will shoot to the right side of the screen. Iv'e look all over the internet for a solution and downloaded some apps that monitor sensors, looks like the horizontal axis seems to almost stuck in that position. I was hoping a reset of some kind may do the trick but there seems to be no way of resetting the accelerometer on these phones. Vertical axis is working just fine according to the sensor apps I have tried..
Sounds like a hardware problem. Has the phone been dropped or jarred in some way?
Actually I dropped it a distance of about 6 inches while sitting on my desk at work. The phone landed on my desk, it slipped out of my hands while I was rebooting it. It's got that thick T-Mobile rubber cover around it so it's well protected but who knows guess stranger things have happened.
It sounds like your going to have to send it back to Samsung to get it repaired.

You are absolutely right about that, good thing for insurance and being a T-Mobile customer for 5 years. They are sending a replacement phone 100% free of charge even though I've had this phone since day one of rollout.
Hey... what could be happenin with my vibrant? if i open a keyboard on a grey screen (like msn talk or.. something grey ), the keys remainds for a little bit (not at full color, just the silhouette). It's not annoyng but.. i think that not all phones do this
Check for burn in.... I am getting my vibrant replaced within the next week (when they send it) because of a large C on the middle of the screen.... It only shows on grey or brown screens... Go to the market and search for jscreenfix and download it and there is a screen checker too.... Best of luck

but is not a burn in.. because i try with all screen testers.. and there's not any burn image.. just a second when i put the keyboard or something on a grey color screen
My phone did something similar, i was test my gps after doing the GPS Fix. Was using GPS Test by Chartcross. and i let it sit for maybe 20-30 minutes, cause i forgot about it, and when i went to close the app, the image was burned into the screen, took atleast 5 minutes for it to clear up. Is this the sign of the AMOLED's degrading? Cause thats what i read about them before i bought this phone that the organic material in the display is prone to degradation.
If this is the case, phones only, what 8 months old? if this keeps up, my screen might fail before my upgrade is due.
you have to go with hours of use not months. Either way, sometimes amoleds can be slow in clearing images that are on the screen along time especially, if the the phone is always being used. To question a burn in image you need to test for that specifically
Hello guys, now its been almost a week since i've had my s3 but yesterday night before going to sleep, i just unlocked my phone in pitch black darkness and what i saw was white light originating from the left capacitive key extending to the screen which looked really bad like a screen burn or some kind of weird white patch on the screen as if i've cracked it, and if it were from both keys i cud have convinced myself that its normal but its only the left key! and its not at all noticable even in a little light and if your screen is not using a dark black background.. so what do you guys suggest me to do? can you guys check your phones in a fully dark room with black blackground and touch keys lit up?? and will my warranty consider this an issue and cover it? i feel so bad right now :/
I'll check later tonight, but I generally have those lights permanently off since my S2 as the intermittent on/off at every screen touch is an annoyance particularly when watching videos
I would suggest turning them off, the buttons are easy enough to find in the dark plus you save a little bit of battery.

I went to the dealer and they said that they would send it to the shop to check if it really had a failure, and if it had a hardware failure they would exchange it in one week!!!!!!!!!!! i will just stay with my phone as it is. It is more possible they will really screw it on the shop with something really bad to worry about, and I bet that the next one will have the same flaw or another even worst, so I prefer to stay with mine.
I try not to be too anal, but the brown screen, particularly when in Lock screen with a black wallpaper, and when in some apps, like Astro, is getting to me
I am in my 14 day period, and my friend Macky, who is a pro like a lot of you,said, no that is not normal. Take it back
Do you agree with him on the screenshot attached
Thank You

You do know that when you take a screenshot to show us faulty hardware it actually looks fine for us because our hardware isn't faulty.
You need to take a pic of your screen.
Although what's up with the 'smudging' in the bottom right hand corner of the screenshot?

I am not sure what you mean. whether u are looking at it o n your phone or puter, the quality of the picture, in this case, sound etc....is only as good as the source. so that confuses me.
moving on, yes that is what i mean the corner and the whole right side The lock screen And in Astro
What I mean is that if your screen is **** I can't see it if you post a screenshot.
I don't know what the problem with the smudging is, if I were you I'd exchange it .

If you turn off the ripple effect in the lock screen settings it should fix that. At least for the lock screen.

I did turn off the lock screen. And I can't see it. Bit only to the degree that that screen is not there. If I could see that screen with no lock then I would know
But attached is another screenshot (no other phone or camera. I am sorry)
Of Astro and the right side still behaves the same way

I didn't mean to turn off the lock screen, just the ripple effect. When ripple effect is on it distorts the screen especially on dark wallpaper.

Now we are getting somewhere. I appreciate all of your patience
So I found the ripple effect, turned it off. And waaa laa.
Maybe about 98% and there may be hardware or software differences as to why screens may ne different color in different areas
But the last problem.
Astro. It still is like that. I dont think It is skin. It is on the right side even more obvious but mainly when transferring files
Any continued help or flat out declaring it is definitely not a problem is appreciated. I know a few of you have posted a few times and given a lot of your time
But I would like the reassurance it one of the pros on xda
Dont get me wrong I dont want to exchange it. But dont want any flaws

Just install astro on my phone:
-open astro: no issue
-try to transfer some files: black/white gradiant on the transfer pop-up (same as on your screen shot)
So, for me, it is just how stock astro is skinned...
Pardon me if a thread already exists for this but I have tried to search but didn't find a thread describing this problem any where. Redirect me if you know of a thread like this.
So here is what I am experiencing. My One Max is a week old but from day one I have noticed that while i am typing a text message or email screen brightness increases a bit as soon as I hit any key on screen. Sometime it happens sometime it doesn't. I have also noticed that it only happens wherever key pops up on keyboard e.g E, R, G, O etc etc or it happens when I am scrolling messages or any thing which is in Black and White contrast (May it be messages or a web page with different dark and light pictures/rich text)
Mine is a brand new Stock Phone. No unlocked bootloader, or S-Off or Custom ROM or something of that sort. Brightness is at around 30%-40% in settings. Phone CID is HTC__J15 (Arab CID and International version).
I don't think its an hardware problem but wanted to share it with you guys and find a reason as well as a solution to it.
Cheers.
It sounds like your light sensor is adjusting itself very rapidly. I can't confirm if that's an hardware issue as your environment or fingers might have preventing light from falling on the sensor.
I would suggest you to ask a friend or a family member use your phone and see if that happens to them also, this way you could make out if your way of handling the phone is creating the issue or the hardware might be faulty.
Might be you were typing in a landscape mode.
When typing those letters, your left thumb blocks the light sensor.
If yes, then I would think It is normal.
It is just how do we use this beast.

I agree. This flickering doesn't matter to me too because this phone has so much more to offer that bit of a flickering wont bother me at all. I bought Note 3 for $710 and sold it right after 10 days for $600 because I didn't like touchwiz at all. But this One Max is an ultimate phone for me for next two years I believe
I've noticed it but only in low light situations. I just set my brightness at night or in dark places to eliminate the issue.

No, I haven't noticed any brighter spot under front Cam or over hardware buttons. Don't have this problem at least in my phone but yes flickering is something that I notice regularly.
Its not something which bothers me in a great deal but I believe we must get a perfect product because we spend a serious amount of money at the time of purchase. In my country HTC One Max is for $700 and I believe this is a lot of money to spend on a phone at least.

It is on my phone bad back-light. (on upper-side you can see more white light from the light-tube... or what is there, down by hardware-buttons is instead less light it seems like burned out)
These two things with flickers - flickers less than the back-light worry's me.
You think it can be solved by reclamation on warranty repair. (i´m afraid that they say, ... this is normal by these kind of lcd) and they do nothing...
But i will it send because we are customers, and we payed not for a brick bud for high tech.... so i hope it well be good.
Before i had no problems with htc warranty's..... ( i try to show you pictures of it.... )

I certainly believe that this must be covered in warranty. None of us paid that much of an amount to own a faulty handset. If they tell you that all units are like that then you should take your money back and look for any other phone. My brother owns HTC One, my wife has HTC One X and they don't have this faulty backlight issue then how come it can be a default feature in HTC One Max.

Here are my photos of this issue... On the web-browser you can see, that it is everytime on just the lower side of the phone. On upper side you can see more light .... On the video is the issue for further epilepsy... Bottom line is that I use the phone in dark places so, internet browsing, movie watching, is not possible on zero backlight just from 26... 27% it's seems be to eliminated... But my eyes are after that like from welding. So be or not to be ..(welder or epileptic)

Bottom line is that I use the phone in dark places so, internet browsing, movie watching, is not possible on zero backlight just from 26... 27% it's seems be to eliminated... But my eyes are after that like from welding. So be or not to be ..(welder or epileptic) video added
One Max screen brightness fluctuations
I noticed this to be the case on my One Max the first couple of weeks playing with it. i noticed at times the screen would get dimmer and dimmer. While it wasn't ovewhelmingly annoying, I decided to disable automatic brightness in settings-brightness and all my screen troubles went away! :victory:

In your video I can see that screen brightness changes and that happens to me too. This happens when webpage or movie has different Black and White contrast and screen goes kind of crazy as what it should do and there it starts kind of flickering. However, Screen Backlight Tubes problem in those photos that you posted earlier, I dont have that issue in my phone atleast. I belive that is something you should get your Unit fixed/replaced from HTC.

Thanks, i search now for a cheap android device for the weeks, when my MAX will be away .... My older phone DHD has my girlfriend, so now i search for a cheap android device and after that i send it ..... .
The flickers .... i see too the problem with the black - white contrast but the normal htc one has it not ... so i think they should work on it ..... and try to fix it ..... maybe could it by a software problem
I newer wanted samsung because of their amoled displays with they burnout - i had this on my phone on samsung omnia with windows mobile..... and the reclamation was a walk through the valley of darkness .... on the end, they told me ... that the oled-lcd how i have it on my phone is normal ... and there is nothing to repair .... ( he had white stripes in it too - so samsung and oled is for me a route to hell)

FLICKERS - HTC REPAIR SAIS THAT THAT IS A attribute
→ behavior
→ cast
→ characteristic NOT A THING TO REPAIR SO I ASK WHY IS THIS JUST UNDER 27 - 30% OFF BACKLIGHT VISIBLE - IT SHOULD BE EVERY-TIME THERE ... ( DISAPPOINTED.... BECAUSE NOWHERE IS WRITTEN THAT THE HTC ONE MAX HAS THIS BEHAVIOR .... HTC ONE HAS IT NOT .... SO SHOULD THE USERS OF ONE MAX USE A SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT ? WHERE IS THE QUALITY OF PRODUCTS IN THIS WORLD DISAPPOINTED - WE CAN GO IN THE MIDDLE AGE WHERE IS NO ELECTRICITY .... OR WHY USE A TOP END PRODUCT WHEN WE CAN USE SOMETHING FOR 40% OF THIS PRODUCT)
THE BACKLIGHT TUBES PROBLEM THEY SAID, THAT THEY SEE NOTHING ... SO I WAITED ON THE PICTURES AND IT IS THERE, HOW MANAGE IT NOW? (DISAPPOINTED AGAIN)
SAMSUNG NEWER .... AGAIN
HTC I THINK NEWER AGAIN TOO THE DAYS ARE GONE WITH THE QUALITY
LG.... OR SONY ... MAYBE ... BUT .... LG WITHOUT THE SD CARD ....
