Hi, guys.
I just trade my lg optimus 2x for a moto razr XT910.
However, I was playing with it last night, i found out there are some tiny blue dot appearing when the screen is totally black, ( like when the phone is booting)
I researched a bit and found that they are called stuck pixels.
Is there anyway to fix it?
Please help!!!
oh, i tried using an app called dead pixel fix that flash the screen with different colors, but after 3 hour or so, it did not do anything.

I too have one. YOu just have to live with it. In day to day use it hardly matters. And if have a habit to stare at a blank screen in the dark, it is YOU who needs help and not the phone. LOL! Just kidding. There is nothing we can do for it at the moment.
you can replace screen. with glass and touch. but this is madness

Last night I noticed one. It sits at the bottom of the landscape screen almost next to the clock. The weird thing is that it is visible only with a bright background, or if I put a bright widget above it. Does this last thing means problem with that section of the screen in general? Tne tab is new. Would you return it just for that? Is there any danger of this spreading to other pixels?

Hi
It's not dead,it is just stuck. On PC there are solutions to solve it (google stuck pixel). On Android I think some app that change status of pixel a lot in short period of time should work also. Like watching some Anime with lots of flashing in the region of this pixel or something similar.
Hi!
If you're lucky, as the above poster said. Try to "kick-start" the pixel by watching/running something that rapidly changes between different bright colors, such as red, green and blue.
After a few sessions of that, you might be lucky to get it working again!
If it is dead tho, different companies have different "dead pixel policies". I can assue you that it needs more than 1 to get it replaced tho.
Good luck!
i have one stuck blue pixel in lower half of the screen,
do you think i should return it?
or can i for only one?
does anyone else have any stuck pixels?
i can live with it but its annoying knowing its there!
If you can, then I don't see what's stopping you.
I returned an N73 with a dead pixel and i'd do it again without hesitation.
To be exact, LED-screens (including OLED) don't have stuck (sub)pixels since there are no moving parts.
Only LCD's can have stuck pixels.

Serious question then:
Yesterday I had what appeared to be a dead or stuck pixel. It was extremely annoying and after running a dead pixel test, I rebooted it and it was gone a few minutes later. What was it?
surely if it was dead it wouldnt be blue?

I don't know, the guy above me just said pixels can't get stuck on OLED, so now I"m confused.
Return it for an exchange...
It would kill me to have something so small ruin a great screen.

i bought mine from Argos, i hate the pink tint on the front camera and the ink marks were in some bad areas on the phone, im getting my 4th S3 tomorrow. I hope i dont get ink marks (big long thick ones) in the middle of the screen. YES I SAID 4th Galaxy S3 replacement. best thing about Argos is, they send someone to pick it up from your house and the guy gives you the new replacement.

"Dead Pixel Detect and Fix". I let it run for a few minutes then when it looked a little smaller I rebooted and it was gone.
tried that for over 30 mins, ive got one stuck pixel so it cant get smaller its either there or its not
No idea then sorry, mine looked to be two or three consecutive. The app lowered that down to about one and then I rebooted and it was gone.
Defenitly exchange it!
A couple of days ago, i discovered that I have one pixel that is stuck or frozen. It's a very noticeable red spot, which is easy to see on light backgrounds.
I have tried to download pixel-fixer-apps from Play, but none worked after i ran them for 30 minutes.
Is the only solution to get a replacement phone?
Yep, this new i'd be sending it back for an exchange

Before you try anything stupid, there is an LCD-testing program built in to any and every Samsung-branded device, open it by typing
Code:
*#0*#
in the dialer-pad.
Then test your screen, if you still experience those problems, try booting the device into recovery, it may just be a problem with Android, if the problem is still noticable in Odin/Download and/or recovery mode, then get a replacement, if not, try flashing a new ROM.. It doesn't have to be custom...
I personally have never experienced such failures of device screens, I've seen touch-screens not sensing touches, I've seen screens go black, out of nowhere, but I've never, really, never heard of a dead pixel on a HD super Amoled, or Amoled at all, in fact...
I wish good luck in finding out what it is!

Thanks for the replies!
I've done some research, and tried different types of troubleshooting. The dot is still visible while testing with the samsung-code, and it's there in recovery/download mode. I've reset and installed different types of roms, customs, stock, and different kernels, without any change. I think I'm just going to send it back. Triangle Away and flashing a stock rom worked flawlessly
OLED screens don't suffer from pixel death. There might be some "lazy" pixels but the pixels don't just die on OLED screens.

Okay, thanks! Maybe I should try that first.
Any idea how long it took?
I'm also having this problem the past few days, blue pixel in the centre of the screen.
Tried the solutions mentioned here and on other forums but no luck yet
Hey guys,
in the last couple of days I noticed that there are quite a few 30-50 dead or at least stuck pixels on my screen. It really bugs me, because I'm kind of a perfectionist. They are all in the same color. It's a light grey or white. Due to that they're only visible on black surfaces.
Is there anything I could do about this? I already tried to run a stuck pixel fixer, but nothing changed. Ran it about 10 hours. Is the warrenty covering this? My phone is unlocked btw.
Hope you guys can help me. Thank you!

Basicaly Yes, because you had more pixels than the minimum requirement for most of brand or trademark
but you must notice two thinks, first the phone must never to be drop or schoked or any trace about user damage.
Second one, Normaly the phone lost all waranty if you unlock it but normaly if you put the phone with the stock recovery , stock rom and lock again the bootloader, that should be ok for the technical support.
Same here matey, allot of dead pixels around the vertical edges of the phone. I had it checked out and people tell me it's dust. I did get a nod from HTC to send it in for repair. It's covered by warranty
