dead pixel - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

guys i m trying to get rn4 from four sales and recently got to know that 90% of devices dead pixel problem, now i m cofused that really that much device is affected or not. i know those pixel cant be seen after device boots but the feeling of having new device with manufacturing defect really hurts..

I bought redmi note 4 too and I have been using it for 2 months. Yesterday I noticed some dead pixels when I was rebooting the phone. But since it's xiaomi I can't do anything about this because their after sale service sucks

No dead pixels for me.

I have the same problem, 10 or 15 white pixels when the screen is black or when the phone is booting. I got the redmi note 4 global edition. Very bad quality... Phone is 14 days old, I can send it to China but that takes 1 month to get it back and since many many phones are effected I don't do it.
I just hope it don't spread, seller won't give my money back.

you cant do anything about dead pixel..its manufacturing defect.. you will get dead pixel in new one even after replacing display ... dead pixel dont just show in new phones..it takes some time to appear..i bought rn4 and first thing i checked is dead pixel and there was none..i was happy but after using some days it began to appear.. unfortunately 10 days replacement of flipkart already passed... anyway i sold it on olx bearing 200rs loss.

u will get in somedays..i m sure...keep checking

well, if somebody has dead pixels it would be good to know which panel is affected. you can check it in about phone -> clicking kernel 5x in cit menu 1.

The first step in the way is to check it before you bring home. Dead pixel or bright only from the beginning of production. So, you must be smart.
God bless, no dead pixel or bright pixel for me

I give up

after month of participation in this forum, i'll stop beeing actif here.
Indeed the battery I ordered is still not at home (i ordered it on 6 June....) and my battery is so ****ty now that the phone power off at 86%....
This pissed me off a lot, so i just ordered some other phone.
As I need a phone with removable battery (to not have the issue to order a battery in china), a SD card and 32GB internal memory which make very good pictures, who should last for 2 years or more, i choosed for once to pay the price and ordered a LG G4 (i planned to buy a nexus 5 2015 or a mi5 but these two are not out yet and i need a phone, can't wait one or two month like i already did... and bying a phone for 100-200€ to change and change for the phone i want in 2 month is not really what I have in mind.
So good luck to other owners.
The hardware in Nubia was ok before the battery issue, but as I am not the only one....
and the software... well it is not entirely bugfree but start to be in the right direction
For me this was the first nubia I bougth and it will be the last one ... Having hardware and software failures is really a no go for me.

Too bad you have felt so many problems. Wish you best of luck.
I'm running into a different direction : I repaired my old Xiaomi Mi2a , udate it with Miui 6 and an AOSP 5.1 version and ......surprise ! It look like a brand new phone ! I'm using my Nx507 only as a media player for few days.

I sold my Mi2 about one year ago.... it was a terrible idea ^^ as it is very good suported and still a very good phone :/
Same problem with the battery,i ordered one a few days ago from aliexpress.
Zte should take responsibility for this problem.
now I have my LG G4 and I must say I almost forgot how it is to have a smartphone that last more than 5 min ^^
I'm still a bit lost with the button on the back (and not physical button on the front)
but it react well, takes great pictures, don't become too hot when playing and of course has all fonctionnality fully working...
only bad point : the bootloader is locked, I can unlock it but the process is done with one LG official tool, so doing so will disable the warranty (that is something that I don't understand... not sure if the laws accept this... )
It is like you change the radio of your car and the manufacturer says : no more warranty...
My Z7 Mini also had a battery problem. The battery simply don't charge. Don't want another nubia also. Not reliable and ROMs very unstable.
Now waiting for a Xiaomi Mi 4i...
I had both a Z7 Max and Mini and loved both phones. Didn't have problems with either of them, but gave the Z7 Mini to my wife. She loved it as well but dropped it a few times until she killed it. I bought a couple of new phones and sold my Z7 Max.
I still miss that phone!

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Xiaomi Mi Max 2, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
According to me, it is one of the best phones in this price range. Overall performance is very much satisfactory
My Mi Max 2 arrived two days ago, i'm really really happy, battery lasts two days with strong use, and everything is smooth. It was not so easy to go through the unlock procedure but now i'm done.
Me to, very happy so far. Coming from Samsung Note4, and that seems to be the end of Samsung phones for me!

How does it compare to your old note 4? I have a note 2 that is just about completely dead and hope for a sizeable jump - my only real worry is camera quality.

Me too, i want to know as my note 4 is failing and would like to upgrade
I've a Note 3 running Resurrection rom. Just got this last Friday and love the bigger screen, I remember getting the note 1 and nobody could believe the size, and now the note 3 is just about average, lol. Anyways I'll be missing the stylus and removable battery, but other than that it seems good. Just waiting for the 72 hrs to pass so that I can root and unlock the thing. For less than half the price of a Note 8 and the same price here as a second-hand several year old note 4 I don't think you can do wrong.

Buddy, How is the screen quality conpared to the note 3?
It's amoled vs lcd / 380dpi vs 344dpi. Im really considering this one or the LG V20?
Is it too big for pockets?
Screen seems ok to me, it's not as vivid but wil do the job browsing and reading pdfs which is my main use. I've thousands of photos too and they seem ok. Sizewise it's longer and sticks out a little bit from my pockets but not enough to bother me.
I am in love with this device, But bit disappointing with MIUI which uses more ram. Waiting for stable custom rom.:fingers-crossed:
I have a Redmi Note 3. I'm looking for a larger phone. My mom wants to take my Redmi once I get a new phone.
My only concern with this phone is custom ROM support as I don't like using MIUI. Are the chances this will be supported by LineageOS officialy sometime soon? (Mi Max 1 seems to have great custom ROM support). If yes, I'll be buying this phone right away.
Also, I'm confused. Some pages mention this phone has NFC and some don't. Does it have NFC. Doesn't affect my descision to buy this phone but still.

Yes, only thing I'm missing is the picture quality from Samsung, even though it was very much slower to focus, noticed specially when scanning bar codes. In very dark envioment it can be seen that it has ips screen and not amoled. But it cost 1/5 of a new Samsung Note, so i don't care. Specially since my Note4 failed with the "mmc_failed" error after 2 years, and Samsung wont emit it's a production failure.
Camera Quality

now the quality of mi max 2 is better than mi max 1
i have both Mi Max 1 and 2
Decent but the lack of multi color LED notification is a big downer.
Battery was awesome
but a little unconformtable when heat
10 -- except for the battery ...
I got the phone cheap $229 4/64 (it was 199 yesterday at Gearbest). TOTAL LOVE. Perfect build quality. Fast. Gets a great signal on AT&T (the only signal in my neighborhood). Better than my Samsung despite AT&T's claims it would barely work at all. Yes, it says H+ on the display instead of 4g, but I suspect I was getting H+ already, marketed as 4g, which is what they do in the states.
What's more, I'm getting Volte now with AT&T prepaid -- prepaid customers don't get Volte! (Not that it's much use with this carrier).
In call volume is fine and the speaker quality is great. It wasn't loaded with crapware and unrooted, I was able to disable some system apps (some apps, like the calculator, are terrific).
Regarding the battery: I got a lemon. It's lasting a full day, maybe a day and a half -- but I'm a light user! No gaming, not even online much. I don't run anything except for downloaded audiobooks. But it goes to show you how much I love the phone that I wouldn't even consider sending it back for warranty service. All the way to China? I'd be without it for days, maybe weeks!
It's not perfect. I can't believe TV out is missing -- no way to connect to a monitor with OTG, no matter how many adaptors you use, I'm told. And Xiaomi's firmware prevents you from doing full backups or downloading nonessential updates unless you're on wifi. They claim you can toggle this, but they're sneaky buggers ... you toggle, it says downloading, but when you look for the completed file it says 'scheduled'. I *****ed and moaned in the forum, but hundreds have cried before me, to no avail.
There are a few odd little paternalistic issues with the OS -- not that ATT and Samsung don't dictate what I can do with my device and service -- they're a thousand times worse -- but their preferred forms of control are motivated by profit, not concern for what's 'good' for me. What do they care if I guzzle data?
On the other hand, Xiaomi employees actually monitor the forums. After the major software update, they solicited bug reports and issued fixes for them in a couple of days -- even for the minor bugs.
On a 1 to 10 scale, the phone is a 20, and I'm thrilled to learn they have a wide range of electronics to check out because -- so long Samsung, you suckered this consumer for the last time.
I do love Xiaomi Mi Max 2 except one thing. I can't unlock bootloader on MIUI 9 Global Stable, I get the error 86006 (with some Chinese letters). I know that it can be fixed by flashing on developper rom but I would like to get it fixed without flashing the device.

Yep, I had the same problem. I don't understand why Xiaomi does this.
I ended up giving in and installed a fresh dev ROM and then it worked perfectly.
Loving mine in Canada. I am a heavy user minus gaming(unless you count Scrabble) and I get 2 full days on a charge consistently. I stream sports and movies onto it, lots of music and other normal surfing/social media stuff and it doesn't get hot and the battery just keeps on going. It's early but so far I would definitely recommend the phone and the company. Excellent build quality and attention to detail. This phone was made with me in mind

Time to Upgrade ?!!

I bought my nexus 6p on January 2015 and still work perfect with no issues except the performance , it seems cant handle new heavy apps and games , in the other hand multitasking become useless over the time so i have to clear apps frequently .
In this Thread i am looking for your advice >> should i wait for any new device with new generation snapdragon processor 845 ? to get most of the performance ?
or
buy Pixel 2 XL ?
or
wait the Pixel 3?!!!!
i will take your answers seriously .
I just bought a Pixel 2 XL and it blows the 6P out of the water in performance.
Also it supports LTE-A already if I'm not mistaking even though when don't have that yet in the US.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
when the original pixel got released... the dual front-facing speakers on my 6P kept me from upgrading
and now Google released the pixel 2 with dual speakers but no headphone jack !
its like they deliberately forcing me not to upgrade -_-
.........................................................
i would still recommend the pixel 2 xl over any other device in the market right now.

I am having the same issue, My Nexus 6p is giving me a lot of problems (battery, performance) but apart from that ,I love this ****ing phone
I don't want to spend a lot of money in Pixel 2 so, I am searching for a cheaper option
Any advice??
I upgraded to gs8 plus a few months ago. I hate it. Im giving it to the wife, so im going back to the 6p until i decide on a new device . Im thinking op5t. Pixel 2xl is just too much money.

I would still be on my N6P were it not for the boot loop issue. My battery had degraded to 90% but would still last a full day for my normal use. The N6P is a powerful, fast phone. If all you have are performance issues, then I would back up the phone and completely wipe it. Use a full image and install it fresh. Returning your phone to stock will make it perform like a new phone, guaranteed. When and if the phone finally succumbs to the boot loop issue, THEN replace it with the new best/fastest phone on the market at that time. The Pixel 2 XL is a phenomenal phone and I love everything about it, BUT I would still be using the N6P if it hadn't developed a hardware issue. I was able to use the 4 core fix to get it running and Google gave me a $155 trade-in, a $100 credit at the Google Store, and a free Google Mini speaker. I paid $400 for the N6P new (Amazon Prime day) so I don't have any bad feelings. I've had every Google phone since the Galaxy and this was the first one to give up on me before I was way past ready to upgrade. With the latest price drops on the P2XL, I would say you can afford to wait a bit and see if they drop further or offer better incentives. Cheers.
Huawei replaced my battery and USB port/daughterboard for free a few months ago (RIGHT before my warranty expired)...but you're right. the phone is painfully slow when playing certain games.
have you seen any good deals on swappa?

Until the 31st (?), Google has a trade in program on pixel 2/XL. 6P that turns on with no screen cracks is giving $144.(https://store.google.com/config/pix...gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CMyK-tbjqNgCFYIkhwodgksAtQ). That leaves a lot but not as much. For about two months, we've been battling that battery deterioration. It's now cutting off at 50% battery. It was a first day Google store purchase, but we're still gonna try Google support since this is a well-known hardware issue. When that fails, we'll have to replace the battery. We have $0. for a new phone at the moment. It was such a great phone----until it wasn't.

I'm moving on to OnePlus 5T. The 6P battery issue have become annoying. I have a replacement battery on the way but lets face it, the Snapdragon 810 is just an inefficient processor and sooner or later I would probably have battery issues again or worse.
I would love to stay with Google (I've owned Nexus 4, 5 & 6P) but the Pixel phone's asking price seems unreasonable vs what I use my smartphone for.
Goodbye to guaranteed software updates & support. I've been spoiled by Google too much in that regard but that's the way it goes sometimes.

FWIW, I agree with everything you've said. Wish I could afford the 5T but glad you can. I just need one more year out of the new battery then a new phone.

I'm moving onto Pixel 2 XL. For the past few months, I've had the strangest issue with my 6p and I can't seem to solve it. The phone will shut off randomly. But it's not completely shut off. I need to press and hold onto the power button twice before i can get it to turn on again. If I leave it in that "shut off" mode, the phone gets warm after some time, so it's almost as if it's in some sort of a suspended state. I know it's not a battery issue because when the phone is turned on again, it's at the same battery percentage. I've tried multiple roms and still had the same issue. I've tried not installing any custom kernels with no luck. The breaking point was when this "shut off" happened overnight and i didn't hear the alarm in the morning. Don't want to deal with it anymore. The Pixel can't be delivered soon enough.
wait for a price drop of pixel 2.
when it goes down to 499$ get it.

Just ordered a Nexus 6p (did I make a bad decision?)

So, I had $200 and I was looking for an android device that can keep me going for a few months til I’m eligibility for an upgrade with my carrier.
After looking around for a few hours, I narrowed my decision down between the Honor 7X and the Nexus 6P.
Ultimately I decided to go for the Nexus 6p due to USB type-C, stock android and dual front facing speakers (3 major things I look for in phones now)
I ordered my 6P from an eBay seller who states the device is in 9/10 cosmetic condition, fully functional and will be here on Saturday.
After searching the web a little more I noticed that a lot of people are talking about the battery shutdown issue.
I remember buying a Nexus 6p at launch and didn’t have this issue, which is why I decided to order it again. But, now I’m kinda scared and wondering if I made the wrong decision.
Can someone shed some light as to whether every Nexus 6P is affected at some point and if replacing the battery will fix this issue.
6P is a great phone, just keep in mind the battery issue (replaceable and relatively cheap) and - more serious - bootloop issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279 <- read it.
My two cents: install AccuBattery in order to check your battery's health (if below ~ 70%, replace it or you'll suffer from random shutdowns), unlock the bootloader (search here how to), flash TWRP and keep the bootloop fix handy. If things go south, flash it and at least you can have your phone alive again, despite the poor performance.
Hello

I owned a htc 10 but gave it up a little while ago. Had iPhone for 2 years and that was my DD. I got this Nexus 6p 64gb used for 150 $ and I thought the same thing. Hopefully the battery doesn't fail on me , but so far so good. It's been about a month and no complaints. I think you will enjoy the phone . Development seems to have died down a bit or we are just late to the party but I actually can't find anything I dislike.
For a 2 year old device, the development is pretty decent. Switch to f2fs. Try crDroid or ABC Rom + f2fs kernel from ABC Rom.

I'm in the same situation looking for a phone for my father. 6p def seems like the best for budget if it didn't have those battery problems. my other choice is also the 7x but I can tell 6p is more of a phone my father would like because of the front speakers. might have to go with 7x because it can be bought new and will probably have less problems+batter battery. just worse sound and skin. looking into the cheaper Xperia z phones next
yeah .. u did lol

Using my phone since 2016 April.
(Android stock 8.1)
With Pixel 2 launcher https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-rootless-pixel-2-launcher-google-t3688393 and Pixel Camera https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...d-camera-nx-v4-google-camera-zsl-hdr-t3494435 it works awesome.
This is the best phone I have ever used and also my first phone I used so long...
I did not have any battery issiues. But, i had a microphone issiue. But i fixed it by editing build.prop file after rooted. So far, its working perfect and i do not need a phone...
But do not forget that: 2-3 years later, battery performance will be not the same.

Thinking of buying the phone but concerned about screen bleeding issue - help

Hello everyone!
I am a long time Samsung user, but I've been thinking about buying a mid-range device and I've been looking at the Samsung A51, but after alot of reading online I found that the Xiaomi note 9s has better specs and is slightely cheaper. So I am thinking about making the big move from Samsung to Xiaomi and I was kinda convinced with this device, until I ran into some reviews that talked about issues with the display like leaking. So this is actually very important to me as I will not be able to change my phone for another 2 years at least, So according to your experience with the device can you please tell me if you notice any bleeding at all? and if after a year the bleeding will increase?
Also, I read online that after a year LCD displays on Redmi phones start to have something called "ghosting" in which the screen gets stuck sometimes at the previous frame. Is this true?
And I read here on this forum that the bleeding issue is with a certain type of screen, so can you tell the type of screen before buying the phone?
I'm sorry for the long question but I'm very unsure if I wanna move to Xiaomi or not and I wanna make an informed decision
The display is perfect. Mine is fantastic. Note 9S. Don't listen to whiny tech reviewers like Frankie Tech on YouTube.
No problem here, too. Redmi note 9s - Curtana
Bro its LCD and dont compare it with amoled..by the way xiaomi fix maximum screen bleeding issue via update..mine also have no bleeding issue..
So just use your phone and enjoy....dont focus on screen bleeding you will be fije than
No problem in my Redmi Note 9 Pro. It has very good display.
Mine doesn't have bleeding too but i do noticed some shadowing around the punchhole notch. If youre coming from an oled expect some downgrade in display quality.

Like how much of a downgrade it is? Is it a deal breaker? should I look for another phone?

You should definitely check some comparison vids on YT like redmi note 9s vs "some amoled phone". Im used to lcd display as ive used several phones with it (redmi note 7 8 poco f1) but this particular phone has the least best looking display among all of them (less vivid and natural looking) despite that the performance itself wont fail you.
screenbleeding was only on those early indian versions. not heard of any on the global 9s version. but even on the indian version it was really rare.
i think we just got used to amoled that we're not used to backlighted lcds anymore
I've come from an amoled and haven't noticed anything wrong with the screen apart from around the camera and I believe that gets fixed in 11.08

Screen bleeding is definitely in 9s. I have read many complaints in our local 9s Facebook group

I've come from an amoled and haven't noticed anything wrong with the screen apart from around the camera and I believe that gets fixed in 11.08

screenbleeding was only on those early indian versions. not heard of any on the global 9s version. but even on the indian version it was really rare.
i think we just got used to amoled that we're not used to backlighted lcds anymore

Are you sure about that? Based on what you say I might actually buy the device.
There's no return policy here so if I buy one with screen bleeding I either can replace the screen or just get stuck with bleeding and both are very bad for me because I don't wanna start thinking about repair parts immediately after buying a NEW phone.

You should definitely check some comparison vids on YT like redmi note 9s vs "some amoled phone". Im used to lcd display as ive used several phones with it (redmi note 7 8 poco f1) but this particular phone has the least best looking display among all of them (less vivid and natural looking) despite that the performance itself wont fail you.

Agreed. Jumping from rn7 to rn9s. The display is somewhat feels less vivid compared to my previous rn7. Maybe because of different panel used? idk. Performance wise, for the price tag, sure is a good bang.

Hello everyone!
I am a long time Samsung user, but I've been thinking about buying a mid-range device and I've been looking at the Samsung A51, but after alot of reading online I found that the Xiaomi note 9s has better specs and is slightely cheaper. So I am thinking about making the big move from Samsung to Xiaomi and I was kinda convinced with this device, until I ran into some reviews that talked about issues with the display like leaking. So this is actually very important to me as I will not be able to change my phone for another 2 years at least, So according to your experience with the device can you please tell me if you notice any bleeding at all? and if after a year the bleeding will increase?
Also, I read online that after a year LCD displays on Redmi phones start to have something called "ghosting" in which the screen gets stuck sometimes at the previous frame. Is this true?
And I read here on this forum that the bleeding issue is with a certain type of screen, so can you tell the type of screen before buying the phone?
I'm sorry for the long question but I'm very unsure if I wanna move to Xiaomi or not and I wanna make an informed decision
