Go to market and write "dead pixel" there is a lot of test programs.
"Dead pixel detect and fix" is one of them, try a few and see the result
Dead pixel or someone flushed out from an aeroplane

Uuuuhm guys....
Dead Pixel apps attempt to fix DISPLAY errors. He obviously has an issue with the CAMERA having a dead pixel.
Nor does the kernel have much to say with such issues!
Your only chance is to bring it back and have it replaced or the camera unit swapped (="repaired").
You best bet is to take multiple photos in multiple locations, crop them as you did with the the one attached and show them to the staff so you can convince them.

Airplanes have holding tanks for body wastes. Only the water from the handwashing bassin is AFAIK released into the air on some models.
Well you can never be sure with the russion Antonov's but I guess even they have (or at one point had ) holding tanks.

Omg, seeker. It was a joke
Info:And yes they use tanks but only to a certain height then it is dumped as u flush. As i recall it's at 6k's height they open the flush tunnel..
About pixel you're right, pixel fixer can't help in any way here. If it's the camera at all, u need a camera hw replacement

---

It might be as easy that there is a spec of dust between the rear plastic cover holding the lens and the camera module? but if it is the camera module have it replaced not fun with a dead pixel

---

That a dead pixel on the sensor, you could easily clone that out if it bugs you.
Olympus use to do something great in their DSLR camera's for that problem which was called pixel mapping, which basically mapped the sensor looking for dead pixels and automatically clone them out.

I don't recall the exit being large enough for anything other than fluid on either the Boeing 747-700 or 747-8.
Are you sure it's not just the water they dump? They can't dump water either below 2km since people would not be very happy about it
However... who would even go to the toilet during take off or landing? It's strictly forbidden and dangerous on all sorts of planes...
And if you're less than 2km above ground in cruise mode, there is definitively something wrong

Dust typically doesn't give a single black pixel. If it's small enough to only cover a single pixel that would be some sort of dark grey, otherwise multiple pixels would show black or distorted colors.

If it's on your cam, best case scenario is that it's just some dust although it might prove a pain to dislodge, worst case it's actually the cam.
Only thing I think you could do is return the phone.
