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!
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
Display backlight is not working of a sudden even when i keep the brightness at max and second screen is working but the display is not working with good backlight ! I just took the phone from my pocket and what i seen is the display is dim ! Display is so dim even when the brightness is kept at full and i dont know how this happenned and someone tell me the way to solve this problem ! Screen is very dim even when i adjusted the brightness level at max and i even tried formatting phone but the issue remained same
Hi this also just happened to me. Image is working but no brightness in screen except some bright ess in top right corner. Phone overheated a couple kf times and shutdown after this initially happened and consumed 2 full batter chages in minutes. Now the heat and battery problem is gone but screen still dark. Any ideas
Hi guys!
I`m having the very same problem. Back light of the main screen is gone, and it doesn`t matter how I adjust it, it is always dark.
Have you guys solved your problem already? Any ideas?

Having the same issue as of yesterday, been Googling possible reasons and it seems the 'backlight controller' has malfunctioned and the entire screen needs replacing (allegedly). Considering a new screen costs almost as much as the V10 itself on ebay these days I'm going to be trying to take mine apart to see if an easier fix is possible, it is more than likely there isn't, but I at least have to try. Let me know if any of you guys have any luck in repairing your phones

Update: Having replaced the screen with a new replacement screen, I am still having the same issue, indicating an issue with either the mainboard and/or the chipset. Can't really go much further with this it would seem so unfortunately I don't think the issue has any DIY fix...
Sorry guys... RIP my V10

I have Same problem,, Any solution ? please help me
My LG70 just did this for a few minutes
My LG70 just did this for a few minutes. Scared me to think my phone was dying. Restarted, still the same. While I was googling it, the screen came back on. Hope it stays that way. Really strange to take it out of my pocket and only have the screen lit in the upper right hand corner. I hope this wasn't a preview of things to come. Love this phone and want it to last!
Just got the new Redmi Note 4 (64GB+4GB) yesterday and spent half my day setting up the phone and transferring all of data to it. Some time late in the night I did a reboot and while the phone booted in the first boot screen that is, a completely black screen with Mi logo on it, I noticed a few coloured spots ranging from the bottom of the screen to the top. Once it booted up, I went into the gallery and opened up a completely black wallpaper, turned on the brightness to full and zoomed in the black portion of the wallpaper and again saw those spots at the exact same place.
Is this a manufacturing defect?
Thank you for your help.

Have they gone away? The screen is known to have temporary burn in that goes away after like 5 hours
I also noticed these spots on my screen. Is it a hardware or a software defect? If it's a hardware defect, Xiaomi should address this asap. I can't have a brand new phone with burnt dots on screen.

Just checked again and there are still some spots. Majority of them seem to have gone away. Will check again in a day or so.
I don't have any spots on my screen at all.

I Don't worry about those things, I'm getting 8 to 9 hrs of overall SOT.
My brand new Redmi note 4 switches off when I lock the screen. Also the fon switches off during a call.. Is it a hardware issue or a software. And what is the solution?

Have you flashed any Roms since you got it? Could you be running a buggy vendor/reseller ROM?

Haven't flashed anything yet. Got the phone yesterday. Contacted Xiaomi service centre, waiting for their response
dead pixels. xiaomi phones have always had dead pixels at least in all the phones i have used. redmi note 4g, note 3, mi4, the 2 replacements for redmi note 4g all had 5 or 6 dead pixels. sometimes they are not visible until you forcefully try to look for them. 1 or 2 dead pixel is fine and i used to freak out earlier but now i have accepted 1 or 2 dead pixels whenever i buy a cheap phone. only my mi pad had no dead pixel. almost all brands have 1 or 2 dead pixel and that can be ignored but more than 5-6 can't be ignored imo.

Stuck pixels spotted
Hi
Even i have more than 30 stuck pixels,
some are small and 4 pixels are big among them and they are Cyan blue colored.
Same problem here. But my wife's phone doesn't have it. Same model
Please raise a complaint to Xiaomi and get it replaced at the earliest. Sounds like dead pixel issue.
So after month of owning this phone (SD version), yesterday I noticed that there was green pixel on dark backround. After a while of looking at black picture with max brightness, I noticed several small red-blue-green dots all over the screen, which weren't visible on other backrounds. I have already sent it to repair centre (free screen replacement). I just wanted to ask, is it frequent problem with RN3 or I was just unlucky? Is there any side effects of replacing the screen?
I'm using this device for about 6 months now and i haven't seen even one dead pixel in my phone till now, but I haven't noticed even one dead pixel on the screen till now...
So, I guess you were unlucky and your device had this problem...

Can you check it on dark room, with dark backround and 100% brightness? Just want to make sure Also, I think I was unlucky too, I hope replacement screen is better.

I have rn3 sd version.
and I noticed 3-4 dead pixels on the screen
it cannot be seen on regular usage. hardly can be noticed when lcd test (dark screen full brightness)
I think many rn3 phones have same problem. many users just have not noticed yet.
it's common and expected, for the price you won't get the best panel, i also have 2 stuck pixels, one green and one red
Yeah I got one too and maybe 2-3 more...but not visible in normal usage.
Happened after like 5-6 months.
hmm, it seems that many are having stuck pixels, mine just had too many and it's free screen replacement anyway, so Thanks for replies guys.

can't say, haven't tried custom roms yet. Flash stock rom to be sure it's not software related

I couldn't spot any dead pixel on my phone....
I guess I'm the lucky one then:fingers-crossed:
Some of my friends have the same device and they also don't have any dead pixels...
Well, see if your replacement panel also have the same issue...
Edit: I don't think that's a kernel bug as many users including me are on Radon and none of them reported this issue...
I have a unusual red fingerprint that barely visible on the bottom part of my screen.
You can only see it on still black screens and you will have to look carefully to see it.
It is a comment problem to LCD screen my all phones have dead pixel except Redmi note 3

Yeah, I'm pretty sure thats not kernel related (I haven't flashed any custom kernels anyway). I hope replacement screen will be good.
I had a orizontal green line at bottom only on miui.
On aosp doesnt exist.
My phone has several blue and green patch, when I purchased never noticed it till 1 month. After that I got screen replacement when I visited service center, Now my phone creeks.. If grabbed hard its back panel creeks.
I don't blame, Its a cheap company and cheap phone. But performance is good.

Creaking is actually common on RN3. Althought mine didn't (well, I was using a silicon case) and I don't think screen replacement did that, unless service center did a bad job at it.

Actually back panel is rubber glued. (The speaker and upper panel) I think when they open up phone, for screen, they removed rubber glue, so now it creeks against plastic..
