Motorola Droid :: Anyone Getting A Dead Pixel Or Two?
Nov 9, 2009
I got my new Moto Droid on the day of release, which so far I absolutely love. However, I just looked at it and noticed that there was a single dead pixel in the top left corner. I wouldn't have even noticed it had it not been on the gray background of the top status bar the rest of my wall paper is black so it would've been easy to miss.Has anyone else experience dead pixel(s) on their new phone? I'm going to try to get it swapped out this afternoon which I think they should do. It just makes me mad that I have too.

This might be really nit picky but there's a dead pixel on my screen and it's very obvious when I surf the web with the white background. I'm coming from the iPhone apple would replace the phone..do you think verizon would or should I just suck it up?

Do you have a dead pixel? Are you living with it?

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?

I called up service just now and looks like I have a dead pixel that a battery pull didn't make go away. I am annoyed now because I will have to do what they called a master wipe or something and all the customizing I have done will be gone. I don't even know what I am doing but I will just go to the store by work to have them walk me through it.Is there anything I need to know about a master wipe and keeping all my stuff intact?
Is there something that wrapsol will do now that my nicely protected and wrapped phone is going back to the verizon God's?I also told them about the 2 times in the last week the phone went to sleep/blacked the screen while scrolling through the home pages without hitting a button or anything and they said neither the pixel or the phone going blank are known issues

I got my evo last Friday and I have noticed a dead pixel. It's on the e key when the keyboard is up and can only be seen on a white screen. My question is should I exchange it or is one dead pixel nothing to worry about? It looks like a little purple or red speck.

So when I bought the Evo, the first unit had a crack on the bottom of the LCD, then I got a replacement that same day and it had a dead pixel. Sprint said they couldn't exchange three in one day, so they said they will call me when my replacement unit comes in, but I want to know if there is anyway to fix this one dead pixel?
This is a dead pixel, not a stuck one. I can only see it on a white background and its a black dot. Any thoughts?

My desire is fantastic, was delivered when they said it would be and all the staff I've dealt with have been fab. The only gutting thing was that my desire had a stuck red pixel in the middle of the screen that was visible on any white background like a web page or the dialer. It is small but it is annoying so I decided to phone up T-Mobile. Amazingly they have arranged for a swap to happen tomorrow. Can't fault them at all.

My poor Desire appears to have 1 dead pixel. I can't see any others. Would you accept this? I am tempted to take it back and get a replacement, but I am worried that the replacement might have more? I have always been unlucky with dead pixels.

Well, I did this on my phone and noticed I had a lot of dead pix. Here is how you do it:
1. Go to the your backlight setting and turn it up to 100. MENU>Setting>Sound & Display>Brightness You have to disable the auto blacklight first.
2. Launch you camera app
3. Hold your finger over the camera lens and count the dead pixels
I was disappointed to actually see so many. You really don't notice them during normal. Unfortunately for me, Best Buy has a cap on Sprint phones (only able to exchange 3) returned and exchanged. I have to take mines to a authorized Sprint repair store.Does anyone else have dead pixels?

I bought the Thl W5 and he came with one white dead pixel and slower i expect.
To correct the problems i decided to flash the phone with the latest update from the THL website.
For my surprise the oficial ROM from the THL do not support the Brazilian Portuguese, only english and chinese.
Could backup and upload the international ROM that comes with my language?

I love my new vibrant and recently developed a dead pixel. I've whipped my phone clear of finger prints now and still when I open my flashlight application, I find a single blue pixel. Unless it's grey/black it becomes quite annoying. I hardly notice it with my nexus one live wallpaper but thats about the only time I don't notice it. Should I stop complaining and deal with it or should ask for a replacement and throw out 10 bucks(and later pay 15 for a new screen protector)to ship it back hoping it doesn't get lost by the postal service which would mean I'd have to pay for the replacement/further deal with hell in that situation(Sorry, never had good times with them)and start backing up now?

I've had a HTC Evo now for 2/3 weeks, and I love it! But over the last few days it's started to act funny....
What it's doing is lets say I unlock the phone and have it laying on my desk, in the past it would show the screen in portrait orientation....but over the lat 2/3 days its been jumping to landscape and I have to pick up the phone, tilt it to get it back to portrait, and if I lay it back down it will go back to landscape.
This is mainly annoying when checking emails/texts/etc, but also if I am on the train and holding it near my waste, depending on the angle it will bounce back and forth from portrait to landscape!
I originally did a reformat when I bought it, and I am going to do it again shortly to see if that helps....just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if it's fixable (and yes i do want auto rotation)....
My phone has a few other problems such as minor light leakage, and a dead pixel (which I was going to look past and keep the phone)...so if this is something wrong with the hardware it would be a pretty good reason to get a replacement within my 30 days....

I have some png files that I am applying a color to. The color changes depending on a user selection. I change the color via 3 RGB values set from another method. The png files are a random shape with full transparency outside the shape. I don't want to modify the transparency, only the RGB value. Currently, I'm setting the RGB values pixel by pixel (see code below).I've come to realize this is incredibly slow and possibly just not efficient enough do in an application. Is there a better way I could do this? Here is what I am currently doing. You can see that the pixel array is enormous for an image that takes up a decent part of the screen

I am having issues.
So far, I have:
-Lowered the brightness all the way
-Taken the Sync off
-Turned off GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth
-Let battery drain all the way down and then charge it.
Still, however, my battery is draining very quickly with moderate use. In fact, when it is in standby and locked (screen off, no activity), it still drains at an incredible rate.
Is my battery fried?

I noticed my phone has stopped being charged by the wall charger. Not to sure why this is. I tried several different outlets in my house and it wouldn't charge. I then used the same cable and plugged it up to my computer and it charges with no problem. My car charger cable works too. Any ideas why the wall charger would want to stop working all the sudden? Its not the cable because like I said I have it charging via my computer.

For 2 days my battery has been draining quickly. This morning it is dead in less than 4 hours. I sent four texts. Checking battery usage, this is what I found: com.android.launcher - 46%, Beautiful Widget (just uninstalled) - 37%. I have never noticed these processes taking up so much battery. Background: I have been receiving a low storage notice so I deleted some apps, texts and pictures and plugged in for the night. The next morning the severe battery drain began. I was concerned about shorter battery life after the latest update so I have recently changed my settings to lower frequency for refreshing email, etc.

I really like the walking dead show and was wondering if there is any walking dead wallpapers floating around for droid x?

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.

I rooted my phone.No problem with that.The phone was dropped and will not power on.It is still under warranty.Will Motorola be able to tell that it was rooted and void my warranty if I return it? Would it be better to make insurance claim?

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.

My phone was completely fine since day one and when i plugged my charger a little later I noticed that there is a whole line of dead pixels going across 1/3 down the screen.... restarted, rebooted, battery pull, factory reset: none solved the problem

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.

My first DroidX only had dead pixels appear in the camera and camcorder applications.
My replacement Droidx has no dead pixels but it has a small dent.
I hope that my next replacement Droidx will have no problems.
