[Q] Pixel Stuck or Dead - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Actually I bought a new Note-GTN7000 but later after four day's I've noticed that there is a tiny green dot appearing on the not exactly but middle of the OLED. It is not a dead pixel as it appears on a dark background only like when we go to the settings menu(Dark Background) & it disappears when I switch of my handset.
Could be a pixel stuck.
Q!: Is there a way to take it off.
Q2: Tried different apps like JscreenFix and pixel fixer for about an hour or two continuously but didn't work out.
Any other possible way from any body???
Please help.

I once had a stuck pixel on tytn 2 and this is what I did:
Hold your finger or "closed" pen on a pixel(so you'll know where it is)
Turn off your screen
Press the spot on the screen very hard
Turn on the screen
This procedure helped me to "unstuck" the pixel. I cant guarantee that it will work om amoled but I think it is worth to try

Pushing the spot hard and Switching the display on, Heating up the screen works for LCD Screens. Not LED.
Don't try these silly steps posted everywhere, You might end up permanently damaging your screen.
The only solution to this is, Stop looking at it. I have a stuck pixel on lower left corner as well. They don't spread nor hurt anything. In fact its so tiny that You wont notice it until you continuously focus your eyes on it. In a couple of days you will forget that It's their.
For LCD Monitors back in the days - Samsung only replaced Monitors with new ones if "only" they had Five or more dead pixels. If you have one , or two you're stuck with that for good. #yearsago

Strange pixel problem

I have a galaxy s i9003,i recently discovered a problem with two pixels on the screen, whenever the screen displays black the two pixels will not not turn dark they will have a different colour, apart from black they work as normal with any other colour displayed on the screen, so its neither a dead pixel problem or a stuck pixel problem, have issues only with the black colour and you can only notice it with careful observation.
any suggestions?
try google for a 'pixel fix video' if that doesnt work, i suggest you send of for repair, the i9003 isnt even a month old and already you have issues.
not good
will surely try that thanks

[Q] Need help after replacing my amoled screen

So my Screen broke and I bought a new one so I could replace it, the touch screen/digitizer didn't break though... at first the colors just started washing and fading untill the screen ended up completely dark, I could still use the touch screen and feel when I would unlock it, after a day the phone would not give me any feed back by vibrating or turning the orange light while charging, so I dismantled it using some tips from these videos:

After I put everything back together the phone is giving me feedback again and I can notice its charging because of the orange light, but the screen won't turn on. Does any one know if I might need to do something on the software side? like needing to re install anything? or do you think I just got a bad screen?
Update: I just took it apart again and reconnected the ribbons, its back together and the screen still won't turn on.
You have the AMOLED screen and not the LCD?
Did you compare the #'s on the old and new to see you got the right part?
Cables are the same, they look the same, part # and stickers are different...
What are the part numbers on your new and old screen? I just went through the same thing, but I'm fairly sure I got the wrong screen replacement. Will have to look more into it later tonight.
My screen wont turn on at all. I was so excited to get my N1 back in action as well.

One pixel on when switched off

I have recently noticed that my screen seems to be always using about 40-50% of the battery even when the note is off for long periods of times. I have also noticed that I have 1 pixel that stays on red even when the note is off. I need to be in complete darkness to notice. I keep my screen on min brightness and I dont use the automatic adjustment, and it is in standard mode (not dynamic).
My question: is this pixel keeping the rest of my screen on? is this likely to be a hardware problem? Is it covered by the warantee? any ideas or is anyone having similar problems with excessive screen battery use?
It seems unlikely that that red pixel would keep the rest of your screen on. Your battery problem is most likely due to a rogue app.
To troubleshoot that pixel, get an app called dead pixel detect from the play store. It flashes different colors on your screen so you know if the errant pixel stays red, or changes. I'd also recommend that you reboot the phone and check again, to make sure it's not a software thing. If that pixel is actually a dead pixel, then yes, you can avail the benefits of warranty. The service center person will most likely try to talk you out of it, though.
same here, the pixel stays on for 30 seconds even if i lock the screen.. i can advice an LCD test: type *#0*# tap "green" or "Receiver (White)" and look if you have one pixel black (look very close to screen), if yes you have a dead pixel like mine

Green vertical line when switching off the display

Hello everybody, I have the following "visual effect". It happens roughly 50% of the times the display switches off. It doesn't matter if it is by it self, by the power button or by a software button. In the very moment when the display switches off, a greenish dot in the center of the display flicks for a split second, along with a same color vertical line trough the whole screen. Obviously it is not supposed to be this way Beside this issue, there is no other problems with the display or the phone( for now). What do you think about this? Thanks in advance
Sounds like a screen off CRT effect, check you tube to see if that is your problem
Isn't the CRT effect a horizontal white line ending up in a dot?
I genuinely think the OP's screen may be defective...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
do a lcd test and check if all pixels are working ok
Unfortunately it is not a CRT effect, although it looks a bit like it. The difference is, that the line and the dot( little spot) appear simultaneously for a fraction of a second. In a daylight it is hard to see it, even more it happens just 50% of the times, but not every other time. Its somewhat random.
The *#0*# test do not show much. No dead pixels. On blue you cant see anything, on green and red I think I see a little bit darker spot in the center of the screen( where the dot/spot appears), but there are such darker sports and elsewhere on the screen.
BTW, I noticed recently, that when the screens dims a bit shortly before switching off, this dimming happens not so smooth. How should I say it... it happens on a several steps, although the whole thing is done in less then a second, it is not so fluid. Is it supposed to be this way?
Thanks for your help guys
have u tried flashing a different rom stock
I am on the latest German stock 4.0.4, tried several others, including 2.3.6. .Currently with Hydra kernel. No difference whatsoever. I think the auto-brightness doesnt work so good. When set on fixed value it dims more fluidly.
if u on stock rom and not rooted then take it to a service center

Weird behavior from the screen

I have a samsung galaxy M32 that I bought like 2 weeks ago, and I noticed sometimes when locking the screen, once when I attempted restarting it, once while the screen was locked, a narrow strip of pixels, it feels like it's one pixel wide and it goes from the right side to the left side of the phone flashes independently for like a second and then turns off, the strip isn't in one place of the screen and it happened to me in multiple parts, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with specific pixels, is this a bug? Something wrong with the screen? Can you help me?
