HTC Droid Eris : Dust And Dead Pixels

Dec 24, 2009

I have had my Eris for about three weeks now and noticed three dead pixels at the top where the signal is meter is. They are pretty much hidden all the time unless the phone is on a black screen. I've also noticed a few dust particles sitting in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Anyone else getting dead pixels or dust under their screen? Small issues, but irritating knowing they're there.

Will Verizon swap it out for a new handset? When i first upgraded I got the Motorola droid, but returned it for the eris. Will that be an issue if they swap out the phone, as I've already exchanged it once?

Motorola Droid X : Row Of Intermittently Dead Pixels

Sep 17, 2010

Have a new X on the way... and I know for certain it wasn't there when I first received it because I specifically checked for dead pixels before I started customizing everything.... it just showed up one day, no drops, nothing significant.

Motorola Droid X : 1.13.604 Update Produced Dead Pixels

Jul 21, 2010

I had my DroidX Cell Phone since when it was released last week.

The Cell Phone was working very well with no dead pixels on any of the menu screens, none on any of the software applications, and none on the Camera or Camcorder applications.

I had checked for the dead pixels using different colored backgrounds, and using dark screens especially with the Camera and the Camcoder application.

On Tuesday afternoon I downlaoded and installed the DroidX 1.13.604 Update.

The DroidX now has some dead pixeks in the same location only in the Camera and Camcorder applications, and not in any of the other applications or menu items.

You need to use the Camera and Camcorder applications in very low light and viewing a dark screen and you will definitely see the white colored dead pixels.

If you using the Camera and Camcorder applications and you are looking at an object in a bright light or in an outdoors setting you will probably not notice the white colored dead pixels.

Since the dead pixels only occur in the Camera and Camcorder applications it is probably a software related bug.

Motorola Droid X :: Dead Pixel Or Dust Under Screen?

Jul 22, 2010

note: this is an artist rendition because my digital camera is terrible and i couldn't figure out how to get the dust in the shot. but it looks just like this. it's a black speck under the screen that can only be seen on bright surfaces and only if you are looking at the screen head on. i'm not sure if it might be a dead pixel. i can certainly live with this problem although i'd prefer if it wasn't there.

1. is this a dead pixel or dust?
2. how do i fix this, can i just exchange it at the vzw store whenever they stop being sold out?

Motorola Droid X : 1.13.604 Update Adds Dead Pixels In Camera

Jul 20, 2010

My brother and I both just updated to the new firmware and noticed something.. Go and open up the Camera app (hold the red button) and tap "Switch to Video" and then tap it again so you are back in the picture mode. Look closely at the screen (point it at a white/black wall), do you see a couple light blue/green little dots in random spots? I noticed it on my phone first and then went and asked to borrow his and sure enough, his has them too. They don't seem to actually be in the pictures themselves.. just on the viewfinder screen.

Motorola Droid X : Software Update Causes Dead Pixels For The Camera And Camcorder Applications

Jul 21, 2010

My DroidX was working for the few days with no dead pixels on any of the menu screens, none on any of the software applications, and none on the Camera or Camcorder applications.

On Tuesday afternoon I downloaded and installed the DroidX 1.13.604 Software Update.

My DroidX now has some dead pixels that appear only in the Camera and Camcorder applications, and not in any of the other applications or menu items.

Since the dead pixels only occur in the Camera and Camcorder applications, could it be a software related bug or mayme something else?

Sprint HTC Hero : Dead Pixels - Strongly Considering Getting

May 13, 2010

I currently have a 8830 Blackberry. I really want a droid phone and the HTC Hero has gotten good reviews.

A concern I always have when buying new stuff like this is.. have dead pixels been common with the HTC Hero?

Also I see some negative threads.....

What is the general consensus of the Hero? A good phone? Worth paying the full price (since my contract isn't up)? Is it worth waiting for a different model? Etc etc.

HTC Incredible : Dead Pixels - Always A Blue-green Color

May 6, 2010

So today I noticed what seems to be a dead pixel (Not really dead, it just stays the same color). I'm not 100% sure if it is,but I notice that it's pretty much always a blue-green color. I tried doing a pixel fix by using one of those videos on youtube, but no luck. I did notice, however, that if i paused the video, the pixel would be filled in on a blue or green picture, but on red it would turn black. Anyone have any suggestions? If not, do you think I should try exchanging it?

Nexus : What Could Cause Dead Pixels To Appear - Specific Live Wallpaper Cause This

Mar 20, 2010

Just wondering if something specific could cause them or simply a quality issue.

My first N1 (T-Mobile purchased day one) developed a tiny dead pixel after about a week of use. I returned it to HTC and the replacement I got didnt have any but about a week after I got it, a dead pixel appeared on it. The phone was stolen so I never called HTC. I just bought an ATT N1 and again it's perfect to start. I know nothing about how electronics work but I wonder if:

-Could a specific live wallpaper cause this? I used the Grass one on both previous models.

-Could the dock cause this? When you place it in dock the screen dims and you get that floating clock. I wonder if extended stay on the dock could be the cause?

Or like I said maybe just not the best quality parts.

HTC EVO 4G : Dropped - Appeared All In Green And Black Dead Pixels

Oct 11, 2010

I recently dropped my evo for the 2nd time. 1st time no noticeable damage. 2nd time (it has a Seido Inocase II) at the bottom of the screen a large ironic smile appeared all in green and black dead pixels. I have insurance, but its pretty pricy to replace this right now I also noticed 2 weeks into this phone (which is a replacement for my first 30 day phone) that I have dust under the screen (same reason I replaced the first at RadioShack) in the top left corner. Do I have grounds for a manufacturing defect from HTC? Or am I completely boned into paying the 100? Please anyone with insurance and/or HTC defect experience let me know!

HTC Incredible : Dead Pixels - Always Discolored And It Especially Noticeable When Background Is White

May 5, 2010

Today I noticed that my Incredible has some dead pixels. They are always discolored and it is especially noticeable when the background is white. I bought this phone at a cellular store and not a corporate Verizon Wireless. Can I still bring it to Verizon for a replacement? Is it covered under warranty?

HTC Incredible : Dead/ Bright Pixels - Loads A Fully White Screen

Apr 29, 2010

Went into the mall where I work this morning, there's a verizon kiosk right outside my store. Pick up an Incredible. Start driving home while playing with it. At a red light I notice a bright green pixel over an orange area of my wallpaper. Indeed it was there throughout any application I used. When I loaded up the browser and went to "about:blank" (which loads a fully white screen) I was able to see it there also.

Bummer. I live 14 miles from where I work, and where I picked up this Incredible. So I head over to another Verizon store closer to where I live. I show the agent, and he agrees and we swap it. Next phone... dust under the screen, 3 particles, right out of the box!

Once more another replacement. This time a red bright pixel around the same area (lower left quadrant of the screen) as the first phone! 4th phone into it, finally no issues.

Has anyone else gotten dead/ bright pixels in their AMOLED displays? Open your browser and enter this address in. about:blank, just like that. look hard, tell me what ya find. Took me four phones to get a good one. Hope everyone else here doesn't have to go through the same.

HTC Hero : Dead Pixels - Dots Are Practically Invisible During The Common Work With The Phone

Dec 9, 2009

I'd like ask all of you how often is this problem in Hero series? I bought one a month ago and it has some stucked pixels, but I heard that the chance of getting even worse phone is bigger, so I decided to keep this one, because these dots are practically invisible during the common work with the phone. I can see one or two if I set the brightness level to full, but thats my second question- how many of you use brightness on full or you do prefere to keep it on automatic? I discovered that on manual setting the phone loses light sensor function, am I right?

Sprint HTC Hero : When Do A Soft Reset - Power Cycle Phone Off And On - Dead Pixels

Oct 27, 2009

I've noticed that when I do a soft reset (power cycle phone off and on) that the start up screen has what looks like dead pixels. When the phone actually boots up to the HTC screen with Android waving the "dead" pixels disappear. They only appear on start-up and go away at the HTC screen with Android. I noticed about 5 "dead" spots. Is this normal?

HTC Droid Eris :: Random Bright Pixels

Jan 10, 2010

I got my Eris on Friday, and it has 4 pixels (2x2 square) that are significantly brighter than all of the others on the screen and they stand out like a sore thumb. This really bugs me and is distracting when that area of the screen is white or colored (doesn't show up when black).Has anyone else had this problem? Will Verizon exchange my phone for a new one? Seems like if I buy this phone and I'm stuck with it for two years, it should be flawless when I get it.

Android :: Relationship Between Pixels And Scaled Pixels?

Jan 4, 2010

I used the layout editor in eclipse to mock up my ui layout and then I created the code to populate it dynamically and things are showing up as different sizes. The XML I use to add the star images looks like this:

<ImageView

android:layout_height="22sp"
android:layout_width="22sp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="2sp"

HTC Droid Eris :: Bluetooth Pairing - Battery Is Almost Dead

Nov 10, 2009

I am new to this forum and just got my Eris today and yes the battery is almost dead. I paired the phone with my car today (a Prius) and it worked fine. However, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to unpair the BT. With my old phone, the BT would shut itself off after the car was off and I would walk a few yards away. I couldn't figure out how to shut it off. I have learned a lot from all of you over the last few days.

My 30 days is up in the next few days, and I have some dust under the screen.

Motorola Droid :: Few Pieces Of Dust Under Screen

Nov 12, 2009

My droid is in the 3909 batch, and so far I've had no software problems. However, there are now a few pieces of dust that have found their way under the screen, around the edges. I keep my phone in my pocket, which I make sure I clean out every day. Is this normal, or is it something that I should exchange the phone for? I'm worried that if it's happened within the first week, it will continue to get worse.
