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?

eXplicit815 says there is an app called dead pixel test on market that can tell you for sure whether there is a dead pixel or not. The post is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683245&highlight=pixel&page=2

Run the app for 1 hour and that might fix it. It has worked for others.
Dumb question: is there any danger in running the fixer for that long?
Thanks, BTW

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.

I was thinking the same thing. The way the OP explained it, it sounds like it's not even noticeable. BTW I was told that yellow cloud will improve as time goes on.

Yellow cloud?
I've heard of these dead pixels and light leakage issues. I don't see any dead pixels, but I work nights too so my phone is always at lowest brightness setting.
Think if I knew I had one it would drive me crazy staring at it, lol. Anyone have a pic of what one looks like, maybe zoomed in?

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,,,

1st customer @ RS and my first phone has a dead pixel in the upper-right hand corner(very noticeable on dark screens). I get an exchange. Take this one home and there's a dead pixel in the circle around the menu button. On top of that, they never switched the serials, so I couldn't activate. Not even Sprint could help me, they said to return the phone to RS. I'm now on my 3rd(no dead pixels).
To be honest guys, the phone is cool but I'm glad there wasn't as much hype surrounding this one cause I don't have that same feeling I had when I got the EvO4G. Maybe it's bc I've been running Sense 3.0 for months now
The 3D is pretty cool, I took some shots with it and once you know where to look, pix look great in 3D. One thing that is annoying me is the screen color. That yellowish tint is disgusting! I guess I'm used to the 'cool' temp in the nova panel I have on the OG EvO. I guess I'll see how I feel within the 30 days *shrug*

I've got 2 of 4 to exchange too. One has a bad power button and the other had dead pixels on the top right hand corner... Both are Hardware version 002.
I'm was contemplating doing the same thing but I just got done weighing this 4oz snickers bar and its coming in at 3.97 so I might as well shoot two birds with one stone.
Hehehe seriously though to know you have one bad pixel will just kill you everytime you use the phone. I'd take it back too. Thats like buying a brand new car that had a scuff on it!
I saw this thread and downloaded Dead Pixel Test just to see if I had one. I do, I found it near the bottom right of the screen. I'll probably wait till the 30days is almost up and return it for a new one. I'm not too concerned about one dead pixel that I probably wouldn't have noticed anyway. Hopefully though they'll have the next HW revision out be then, they did with the OG EVO, and I can get one of the newer versions. I'll give it a bit and see if these early HW versions have the issues the OG EVO had.
No dead pixels here.
Thanks I like that program. Made finding a dead pixel quite easy. Everyone should run this before they leave the store!

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?

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.

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 .
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.

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.

Was watching the raven on phone at work last night and had to turn brightness up high since its so dark. Noticed about 50 little white dead pixels all over the screen.
Anyone else have this? Checked this phone when I first got it and no dead pixels at all. Makes me mad I've taken so good care of this phone. The display is ruined now for me.
I know now that the raven sucks and this display burns out too quick for whatever reason. Never had this issue with any other phone.
You need to return that thing, it's clearly defective. And as far asa burns out too quickly? That's obviously an opinion not based on facts... I have had my LTE since May, no dead pixels. Not one.
Word of friendly advice, when you take that jacked up phone back to the store for an exchange.... Before you leave with the replacement, go to the market and get the dead pixel tester, run it before you leave the store.
I'm just gonna keep it. Already s-off and all that, this is my 3rd EVO LTE. Can only see it when the screen is black and brightness is all the way up.
I'm really leaning towards getting a *gasp* Samsung for my next phone. I love HTC and sense, but there are so many issues with this phone u need to mod, dwnld app to fix phone, flip into/out of airplane mode to get data, and not to mention my first 2 exchanges.
Sorry this is so "ranty". This phone is like that super hot/cool girlfriend that has crazy issues that really get on your nerves, but u keep her around bc she is there and you've been thru too much w to get rid of kinda thing.

This one didn't have dead pixels when I first got it. I remember checking it. Best buy ***** wouldn't let me check the other phones, said I had to take the one she pulled put. I asked y and she said it will start activating when she turns it on. God that pissed me off she is either stupid or I am for letting her get away with that comment.
Needless to say, this one was perfect then. So that means over time a new one will only burn out like this too. Probly just wait until it gets really bad before I exchange it. Everything else is great. Feel lucky.

Wow I have owned quite a bit of HTC devices. Even since the HTC apache! The only phone I have ever had a problem with was the evo3D and the digitalizer not being accurate.
I am now on my first evo4glte since launch and have not had a single issue except browser reloads on the stock shipped rom.which made me split decision with a galaxy s3. But to be honest , after rooting both devices I find the evo more fun to play with. And has never gave me any sort of issue. Wifi/3g works as it should. Nothing ever reloads,the screen is still amazing with no dead pix or blurring of the screen.
I'm sorry some of you guys are so unfortunate to end up with 2+ replacements,giving you a bad experience with HTC. Some devices come defective even the iphone5 & sgn

If you're getting exchanges that aren't new, the reason why you're seeing so much crap is because the refurbs aren't repaired or checked carefully at all.
My replacements were brand new phones. Didn't even have refurbs then, was in early June, early July. Got my first EVO on release day.
So, I just discovered that I have a dead pixel. Can only see it when when the screen is black. It's only one that I can see. Is it worth trying to get a replacement or getting it fixed? Can't they replace the screen?

I have two dead pixels that are only visible with a very dark screen.

Got this beauty on launch day after calling up about 10 different tmobile stores!
I love this phone and its killing me to have these dead pixels especially because one of them is in the damn middle of the screen, the worst part is that it is sold out everywhere where I live so I cant even exchange it.
Get your **** together HTC and don't let your customers go through this frustration!!!
That sucks.
Hope when I get mine I don't have any issues like that.
Mine came in perfect, no issues whatsoever

I thought the same till I ran the dead pixel test.
Anyways i'm glad for you enjoy it, its an epic phone!
So hold on you was happy with your phone until you ran a test that told you had a dead pixel? Sounds like nitpicking to me!
I also have couple of dead pixels, only saw them when I ran the dead pixel app..otherwise can't see them...
I feel some are just reaching to find a issue with there phones. It would be different if it affects anything but if you can't see it and everything us works ok just be happy with your phone.
How about people stop making threads complaining and just exchange their device.

So I just noticed I have a dead pixel as well. I'm within my 14 day period but I unlocked my bootoader. Does anybody think I will get a problem from HTC when they get it back? I know they won't notice in store.

I had 2 stuck pixels on the bottom left corner of my screen, but I noticed one day they both went away.
Got mine a week after launch. Cant find any dead pixels. Are you guys going to exchange your phones?
If I had a bunch in the center of screen I'd replace it. If it's the same as my One X and I just have 1 or 2 in the corner I'd probably keep it.

I made an exchange, second unit has one dead pixel on the top left but I decided to keep it.
Mine had a piece of dust inside the digitzier assembly. Ironically it was not able to be shooken out due to the "goo" that is placed in the gap between the digitizer and the LCD to prevent dust. I went to exchange it and I am fine now. I was pretty bummed out because my girls didn't have any flaws lol.
I have two stuck green pixels in the middle of my screen. What's weird is that you can only see them in the dark. I ran a stuck pixel fixer to no avail.
It's past the 14 days and I bought my phone from eBay. Does anyone know if T-Mobile will replace it? If not, no big deal. I can live with a few green pixels. Plus it's rooted, so I don't think they'd replace it, even though it was there before rooting.
I have 3 dead pixels on my phone. I was at day 16 when I noticed it and T Mobile is graciously exchanging it for me.
Will they replace it if it's rooted, or should I un-root it first?

I would definitely un root the device before sending it back. From my understanding you can't re lock the boot loader so that is really just a crap shoot if you get a tech that actually checks those things.
