So I noticed a dead/faulty pixel on my sony Erricsson Xperia mini pro sk17a night. On the most bottom, right part of the screen of you look at it portrait. This pixel flashes whenever I scroll down webpages nut flickers often even on the home screen. Either that or its really dim. It's just one pix I think.
So is anyone else getting this or just me?
Also, to fix this I go to my phone service provider to get it fixed right? Since its Rogers and it said they will fix it for free or something. I have not rooted or done anything to void the warranty.
Exactly the same problem.
I have exactly the same problem on SonyEricsson sk17a . Did they fixed it ?
There's a screen test on service menu: dial *#*#SERVICE#*#*, go to Service tests and test Display. It will go to a color every time you touch the screen, press back to exit. There you can see if its a pixel problem and wich color the pixel is stuck in (or dead).
Then you can take it to SE for repair (warranty of course).

Yes I would do the same.
10x.I'l give it a try.
I also contacted with SE's support. Just waiting for there reply ( to be honest it looks like a software issue ) . When there is static image on the display , it is OK.
Hello guys,
So what happened finally with that issue? Was it software problem finally? I have the xperia Mini ST15i and there is a dark pixel on the very left of the screen and it's only visible when there is motion, but not in static images of any color!
Please tell me what happened with your case.
Thanks!

Make a test in service menu as said some posts above.
If pixel is indeed buggy, take your phone to shop, should fall under warranty.
Its the screen's issue. If im not mistaken companies keep the 5 dead pixel policy. Not subpixel, but pixel.
If a subpixel is faulty (i think) you cannot see one of the three RGB subpixels, If the whole pixel is faulty you get a white dot where the pixel should be. So from what i understand you have a faulty subpixel, therefore the company itself wont hold it under warranty but your Service Provider might.
Pixel problem .
From the support center here in bulgariq , they told me , that they will forward this issue to SE .
No response till now . My problem was ( and still is ) identical . Pixel is OK on all the colors, except when there is moving image ( than it is not , white , gray or some other color .Than the pixell i just black (dead) )

I think I have the same issue, my pixel is ok in all colors, but when there is moving image (for example scrolling in browser) even in white color, there is a dark dot flashing.. when the scrolling stops the dot dissapears too!
Is it the same as yours?
dead pixel
Exactly the same behavior.
Same here... A pixel in the bottom of the screen, it works good, but when I scroll, the pixel turns black :S should I send it for the warranty?

Dead pixel issue
Try to send it . I wil contact them again and will try to point the problem more precisely. It is strange. It is not dead subpixel because it shows all the collors correct. I think the display controller is not OK. not the display itself.
so do you think that is the display driver? Or perhaps the build 0.62? Do you think that's good idea to return to a previous build? Is it possible to fix the issue?
I mean it could be graphics driver software issue as well.

Androids do not have such problems. At least never happened any problems with graphic drivers.

I mean its not the screen for sure because this flickering pixel is only obvious in scolling for example.. also its located on the very bottom of the screen. its close to the XPERIA logo and light on the right. if the refresh rate is high it flickers fast so its difficult to see it.. when its static image there it dissapears..
Ofcourse it is an issue of the screen... You have a faulty subpixel. Maybe on non scrolling occurences the color is stabilized with the remaining 2 . This isnt windows/linux/mac, you dont upgrade drivers as you would on a computer. And no its not your GPU. If it were the gpu it youd be going haywire in random parts of the screen not just a specific 1x1 pixel area

To be honest I don't know if its a subpixel thing.. For example when Safari is loading, even on a white page, this pixel is flickering. When it stops loading the page, the pixel dissapears..
Have the same issue with my Xperia Mini ST15, I have a stuck pixel in the middle of screen (yes... that sucks) but it's only visible when the screen is showing a black color, its a shine pixel.
I have SE LWW i love this phone but what i have notice that it has some problem with the sensor that change the brightness according to the light conditions.
What happens is that sometimes the screen start to flicker that is continuous jump
between low and high brightness which is very irritating.
So please share if any one of u face the same problem or know anything about it.
I m using LwW from yesterday but havnt seen this kind of issue may be needing more time to cross check, will update definitely.

yeah mine too.
i think it's coming from the device light sensor, n we can't fix it until sony put an update.

Weird had the lww too and never had that problem. Do the ones that have it updated your phones?? I am currently on lasan's rom but never encounter it.
thanks for replying guys but i think it is the ambient light sensor problem that means it is a hardware problem so it might not get solved by update.
Be positive most of the times it is a kernel related problem or take to a service center and see if they give you a new one
Live With Walkman
Live with walkman has a ambient sensor in it which changes light accordingly
but i never noticed any flicker in my phone my suggestions would be take the
phone SE service center
the flicker shows when u look at screen from side. but from infront of the screen, it's hard to see.

I confirm this.
When brightness is not full(I used on half on Stock and Hybrom ROMs), then in some conditions the screen indeed does flicker a bit.
That is caused by ambient light sensor, which detects many different light levels at some point, that is the reason for changing screen brightness so much at that time.
Currently, I am not aware of solutions for this, as I do use custom ROM, where I haven't noticed it yet.

Is not a bug, most other phones have it also, that means light sensor works.
It shouldn't damage your phone.

Yes the same problem is with me too!!
Hi, a few days ago I've updated my Z5C to the last firmware (32.0.A.6.152). Everything went fine, except for this problem with contrast or gamma right after unlocking the screen. It goes all the way up, stays crazy for a few seconds and then goes normal. It happens only if Adaptive brightness is turned on.
I really have no idea what is going on, but I've seen around the forum that others had the same issue with Z3C, but no solutions were given.
Any idea of what could it be?
Thank you.
I have same problem. So I use 3rd party application in google play. (like lux auto brightness). Then the problem solved.. (My eng is not good. I hope you will understand.)
Same problem here. The problem always had been here, since the first firmware. Wait and see.
Same here, I also noticed some extreme oversharpening (LG G3 style) while it does that.
I can't reproduce this issue because sometimes it doesn't do anything and sometimes it does.
This was a known issue on the z3c since it surfaced never got fixed, I believe Sony acknowledged this issue too.
If we indeed have the exact same panel in the z5c then its almost understandable why it is occuring on the z5c.
However I have not yet noticed this issue on my z5c (adaptive brightness turned off.)
It is caused by adaptive brightness. Yeah i had it before on my z3c as well. Only solution was to turn auto brightness off
How could it be possible that Sony still has to fix this? I mean, adaptive brightness is quite useful, what are they waiting for?
Yep.
For now turn it off, as that's the work around for now buddy
Same problem here, it is really annoying since adaptative brightness is very useful... don't want to change the brightess manually 5 times a day ...
Same here with z5 UK
Same here too. Z5c spain

Same...I thought it was some app going crazy, lucky I found this thread. Z5C HK on the latest version.
Same problem here aswell, but i also noticed i dont know about you, when i scroll text its getting blurish and greenish dont know really how to explain, if it problem with something in software or screen panel?
I opened this topic weeks ago, uploaded a "bug report" to a Sony forum member (a few weeks after). And he contacted the development team. After that he told me that it will be fixed in Marshmallow update.

So recently my phone has ghost images, leftovers from other apps on the screen. (eg. The top bar showing up ghostly when it shouldn't, controls of a game showing up on home screen after closing the game in a ghostly effect) It is not a software problem. I know it goes away on its own after some time, but it's very annoying and its freaking me out. Anyone else got this problem? How do I fix/prevent it
i got it to.not know hot to fix it
Very disappointed from xperia screen
I have also the same problem and it looks like a hardware issue. It's very noticeable when you increase the screen brightness. Notification bar icons/time appear all time against any dark background. Very annoying, even cheap phones don't have that problem.
Example I found online -> lnv.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79782iF19656F933D1C741

I read that certain types of screen cause it, and it cannot be fixed except wait, which sucks, but I can't say for sure

Yes, thats exactly my problem. I noticed that it gets worse if the device is overheating
Sorry for the bump, but is any else having the same issue?
Mine seems to be getting worse and worse over time, to a point that it can literally retain half way up the display.
I use to have the same issue with my iPad Mini Retina until I took it in for a replacement and it hasn't happened since (2 years ago).
Any experiences with Sony replacing the display under warranty?
Thanks,

Not really. After buying the phone, I used it for two months without having this problem, then rooted, so no warranty

Wow, yours got on the next level. Mine isnt so bad. Actually , I rarely have the problem lately. Do you run poison 7.1? That particurar ROM I was using was problematic, causing the phone to overheat and the lcd problem was present all the time
Mine is completely stock and unrooted.

running completely stock & unrooted. Mine has this problem too. However, the image disappear after 10-20 minutes :|
I had this problem on my unit as well. Tried to adjust the white balance and it seems the issue was barely noticeable on the status and navigation bars.
The good thing is that screen retention falls under manufacturing defect and you will get a new screen.
Mine got replaced with a brand, spanking new one, but the issue has started to creep in just a little bit after a few months, but its very faint.
Nobody but a few owners complained about "adaptive brightness" bug , issue or whatever is it !
Is this a randomly issue or is a general problem ? To me is a very annoying problem so I'm thinking to sell my phone only due to this . Several updates received didn't solved this bug so I'm thinking next major update to A12 won't solve it as well . More then that it seems OnePlus 9 , 8, 8T and Nord series have problems with "adaptive brightness" wich meening a well done display brightness in sun light but indoor or poor light brightness is dimming under absolutely low suported values .
What can I do , I'm very frustrated !!!
How is yours ? Works well ?
No problem here, auto brightness is working fine in low light / medium light conditions.
The only complaint is the very placement of the ambient light sensor and proximity sensor (upper right corner) , when I bought a new bumper case to replace the original one provided in the box I noticed a lot of dust was accumulating between the bumper and where the sensors are in the corner of the screen, resulting in lot of issues with auto-brightness and pocket detection . Now I have a very thin protective case with a better cut and I didn't had a single issue since then.
Same problem here. Every evening when it gets dark, the sensor doesn't work properly on auto brightness.
For now, only solution is the app ''Velis auto brightness'' from the Play store. With this app the sensor works fine. I reported this bug 3 times but no solution in the updates for now.
I know , I used Velis for a time but Isn't correct , common sense to use a third party apk for solve bugs phones . Since December I found only you claimed this issue but rest of owners ?
Seems to be only us ? Now I'm going to think this problem affect only a few phones !?
Hmm - I have kind of the opposite issue, not a bug though.
For my liking - and compared to my old Mi Note 5, the screen could be more dim.
Id there a way to tell the phone to tune brighteness in general lower in adaptive mode? Also for the sake of battery life...

Anyone still had this issue recently? I am suffering here and it's quite frustrated.
Yes , the problem persist although there was an major update but is diminished . It's not a big issue , now . Still exist !!!
