Hi
Just got home with my Note 2 and have been loving it except for a possible issue with my LED light. When charging and the screen goes off, the red LED comes on which is good, the issue is that it is very dim. The odd thing is that when I power the device off and leave it charging, the LED indicator then turns bright red like it is usually supposed to be(like it is on my S3). I was just wondering if someone could power off their device while charging and tell me if the red charging LED is brighter than when your device is powered off than when when it's powered on.
One other issue is I tried to charge the Note 2 using one of the many Android charging cables I have laying around and when I use anything other than the charger supplied in the box, I get an intermittent tone and the device will not allow me to turn the screen off.
Would be much appreciated if someone can test these two possible issues and let me know if theirs does it too or if it's just mine.
Thanks for your time!!
I believe the led light is sensitive to light, meaning it will be dimmer in a darker area and lighter in a lighter area.

That was it bro, thank you!! I was doing all of this is a dim environment and after reading your post I grabbed a flashlight and shined it at the front of the Note 2 and at first no change....but then all of a sudden it switched to the bright red LED. Big time thanks man I was not wanting to have to go back to the store and exchange again. I already had to exchange the first of for what was either a stuck pixel or dust under the screen. This one the screen is perfect so I want to keep it.
Can you or anyone else test a random charger for me and see how the Note 2 reacts. Wondering if this thing needs to be used with the supplied charger to not make this sound and the screen staying on. The odd thing is I just tried my Nexus 7 charger and it works without issue but all my other chargers act wonky with the Note 2. Again man thank you for your time to post it helped me out big time

Used my gnex charger and supplied one and both work fine
Hi hoping someone can help. Had my phone around 3 weeks now and all was great until yesterday. The screen just stopped reaction to touch mainly on the right hand side but I don't think that this is a hardware issue and the screen works everywhere when rotated. I tried a factory reset and problem is still there. I have never rooted a phone in my life so keep it simple haha. Thanks in advance
Any help guys? How can I add a screen shot on here to show what firmware it is running?
I have not had this problem, but I did have a similar problem on another phone before where part of the screen went dead , I think it's related to moisture try putting the phone somewhere dry or blow a fan on it for a few hours see if the touch comes back.
if you have it in a case try removing it
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.

No, they are still present. I actually don't have a lot of time to go after Mi for a replacement. But I might go and talk to Mi service centre this weekend
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.
I accidentally threw my Swift X2 into the toilet last week. it was only partially submerged for a few seconds.
I switched it off, buried it in long grain rice and today - 5 days later attempted to switch it on. screen flickers, black stripe about 1cm wide on right of b+w boot screen then nothing.
should I just leave it for a few more weeks in the rice or is it doomed? a teardown guide would help to get the back off and improve airflow/drying. I've searched but couldn't find.
bought a cheap nexus 5x as backup but hoping my Swift will live again.
thanks for reading. any suggestions welcome.
Have you tried adding soy sauce?

Help: Note 9 display blinks after being hit by rain
Hello Fellow note 9 users, Please any advice will be appreciated, i got drenched by rain and my note 9 display starts blinking and some parts of the screen wont even respond. I couldnt power it off because of the pin which can be entered due to...

I've had issues with my black shark 3 pro just being super slow all of a sudden and basically being unusable. All apps seem to function normally except Youtube which just gives me a black screen when opened. Everything is so delayed though and phone is so laggy that I removed pin just to unlock it easier. I've already factory reset it once with no luck. I've attempted emailing black shark support with no help. So any suggestions or ideas would be nice. Thanks.
Glad to see someone else with this problem. Had it 6 months ago. Try to press hard in the middle of the display and swipe left and right when the screen is on. This should fix it for a few minutes. It's a hardware failure. I am using now a oneplus 8 pro because this phone is sh!t and Xiaomi Support really sux.
Also cant get spare parts in europe
