Stuck Pixels-iPhone 4 (White Sprint)

Okay I bought a used iPhone off of Amazon and at first it was fine. Then a thin vertical blue line appeared and people referred to it as stuck pixels. Is there any way to see if its still under warranty or if there is a way to fix it myself? PLEASE HELP!!!

try to press home bttn and the turn off bttn(both together) for a minite.....then when the iphone start up.....cnct with the itunes....and press shrnz or restore.
if that doesn't work go to the apple store that u just bought the phone and required a brand new (ur privilege)
don't worry because some people have a strange first experience with the iphone...give it bck and get a new for free...

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

IPhone 5 stuck pixels

i have 3 stuck pixels on my screen. Can i use my warranty for this?
what is the policy of Apple about the stuck pixels?
Thanks

Hi there,
I had my iphone in my pocket yesterday when I was in the workshop at college. I was in a car and my leg got wedged by the steering wheel, the leg with the iphone in the pocket. Checking it after, the phone was fine and is protected by a leather case. Later on, I was in my car using my phone to play music. I noticed a little cluster of greyish pixels. Thought not much of it, as it's a second hand iphone and is out of warranty, but this morning, (after my partner threw my phone across the room onto the bed), there are now lines travelling a long the screen from this small cluster.
I'm not sure whether they're dead or not. I would rather have apple look at it, but I want to know how expensive it is to get a screen repair, or whether it worth paying for a whole recondition phone.
Not having luck the past two months with phones. If I get a new one, it'll be my third.

So I have a tmobile iphone 5s and it's stuck on the white screen with black logo I tried restoring it with iTunes

MMy phone been stuck in recovery mode tried to restore it nothing worked what can I do its at mobile iphone 5sSo I have a tmobile iphone 5s and it's stuck on the white screen with black logo I tried restoring it with iTunes & iTunes is just telling me errors and my iphone would shut down put a blue screen then go back with the white screen

Has the phone been unlocked officially? Has the phone been jailbroken in the past? If yes, these could be reasons for the behavior of the phone.

Stuck Pixels after Installing iPhone 2.0.1 Update

Has anyone else noticed any new stuck pixels after installing the iPhone 2.0.1 update?
As you can see in the image linked to below, my 8GB iPhone 3G began displaying a stuck pixel in the upper-left immediately after installing the 2.0.1 update. At first, I figured that this was an average stuck pixel that coincidentally appeared immediately after applying the 2.0.1 update. However, after further examination, I don’t think that this is a normal stuck pixel.

A few hours later, my mother updated her 8GB 1st gen iPhone, and as you can see in the image linked to below, she now has a vertical line of stuck pixels in the same region as mine. Since her stuck pixels also appeared immediately after installing the 2.0.1 update, I’m beginning to think that my stuck pixel may not be an isolated issue.
http://skitch.com/macmanx/1i88/stuck-pixels
I have tried to restore both iPhones, adjust the brightness, apply light pressure to the stuck pixels, and run the Knox Pixel Fix for iPhone. Neither method worked. To further complicate the issue, the stuck pixels appear to flicker when viewed through the LCD screen of my digital camera.
Stuck pixels are (as the name implies) stuck, they do not flicker. This, added to the fact that the issue occurred immediately after applying the 2.0.1 update, leads me to believe that this may actually be a software issue, possibly involving a conflict between the display drivers in the update and the display hardware shipped with certain iPhones.
If you have also noticed new stuck pixels after installing the 2.0.1 update, I'd love to hear that I'm not the only one seeing this. And, if you have somehow managed to resolve the issue, I'd love to know how you did it.

As already pointed out, "stuck pixels" are hardware related. They will be evident all the time, regardless of the particular screen being viewed. If they show only on particular screens, it isn't a dead pixel, but a software/ driver issue. I see a horizontal line in my Unlock Screen that I didn't notice before 2.0.1, but I'm not sure I really looked for it before. However, I don't see it in other screens with a black background such as the Home Screen, indicating it has something to do with the Unlock Screen image, and not the LCD pixels.

What is apples policy on dead or stuck pixels on the iphone 5 ?

I don't know about steve---but I've owned 8 iPhones (5 for me and 3 for my wife) starting with the 3G and ending with my current iPhone 5 and none of them had a display problem of any kind.
Several of my family members also have iPhones--about 10 more, I'd guess, and none of them have a stuck pixel, either.
If I had received a display with a stuck pixel I would have definitely returned it immediately.

IPhone 3GS works fine, unless I the screen goes black after no use. Then I'm stuck on the white screen until I reset the phone.

The title kind of sums it up. After having my 3GS for over a year without issue, it started acting up today. I had my phone on my desk at work, and had been checking my e-mail, news, and web intermittently throughout the morning. I set the phone down, in it's typical spot without issue. No dropping, no hits, no...nothing. Just set it on the desk and go about my work.
The next time I pick up the phone to use it, and hit the button, I'm greeted with an all-white screen. WTH? If I press and hold the home button the phone makes a "dunk" soud, like maybe I'm enabling the voice feature. Long story short, I can restart the phone, and reset the phone, and it's fine.
UNTIL the screen goes dark from inactivity. From that point on, it will ONLY come back in the full-white-screen mode UNTIL I reboot it again, in which case it's again functioning normally...UNTIL the screen goes black from inactivity. I can hear the phone make text-alert noises as texts come in, my e-mail continues to download regularly, etc. But it stays stuck in this white screen anytime the battery saver turns the screen black.
Any ideas on this?

So, I've received and installed a replacement digitizer screen / component. The good news is that the digitizer works just fine! Screen swipes, finger tracking, etc are all great.
The bad news...is that it didn't fix my white screen issue. Same symptoms...everything works fine at boot. As long as I keep the screen from going dark, everything continues to work fine (rapidly consuming battery, of course). If, at any time, the screen goes dark (get a call, accidentally press the top button to shut down the screen, etc), the screen will only come back on as a white screen.
All touch components are working fine at this time. I've grown to remember where the "power down" swipe is located, so I press and hold the power down button, then swipe where I know the "power down" swipe is located. Phone will shut down.
Restart the phone, and repeat the process. Anyone have any other ideas?

Stuck Pixel on my 3g iphone what do i do

i have noticed a stuck pixel on my screen and it is bothering me what do i do

umm, well is this just one pixel or a block of pixels? im sure if you have a lot of dead or stuck pixels they would exchange it for you, ive heard of people getting replacements for 2 dead pixels, so if i were you and it bothers you that much make an appointment with the genius bar at your local store and ask for a replacement, ill be doing the same except i have dust under my screen.

IPod stuck pixel problems

Bought a new video iPod at my local Apple store, got home and notcied it had several stuck pixels (white glowing dots- mostly noticable against a black background and in a darker environment). Took it back to the Apple store, the genius tried to give me a line about how the screen "takes a while to burn in". What?? once he realized I was not an idiot, he agreed to exchange it sans the restocking fee.... You guessed it, the replacement has the same problem I am sick and tired of this issue with LCD screens. It is unacceptable for retailers to sell defective screens and claim that they are "normal". There is no clear definitive standard for this pixel problem, and I have had it. Went through 3 PSPs as well and returned them all before finally giving up. I am taking this iPod back, and telling them it is unacceptable. They can open as many as it takes to get me a defect-free screen, or they can refund my money and I'll look elsewhere. It is unbelievable that a company can sell a product meant for viewing video on a 2.5 inch screen and can claim thta glowing white dots are "normal pixel anomalies". My 42 inch plasma doesn't have a single dead or stuck pixel, and I expect the same on all my electronics with an LCD or pixel based screen.

Have you tried the Pixel Fixer for iPhone?
I know if you do a Google Search for it there will be an App for the iPhone that will test and attempt to fix stuck pixels.
Otherwise you may wish to follow the basic article below for iPod Touch Hardware, and then make an appointment at local Apple retail for assistance or contact iPod Touch Support.

Dead or stuck pixel

Hello,
I'm new to the forum here having recently converted. I've done a search or 2 on this issue but found nothing of note. I have one dead pixel(well its green or white sometimes) in the middle of the screen and its very annoying. I've read through all the support pages and found the usual pixel anomalies page explaing all about it.
But It only mentions LCD's. There's no mention of LED screen, so would I be right in saying that there is no material specifying the restrictions of this and it would be considered a fault?

Vermelho88 wrote:
But what I mean is, they have no policy for LED screens stated yet so therefore its just plain faulty, as in "not as described" so wouldn't they have to replace it straight away?
It's still an LCD display. The Al MacBook displays use LED (as opposed to fluorescent) backlighting. A dead/stuck pixel is still an LCD malfunction. One dead pixel is considered normal. If it weren't the cost to the manufacturer would be considerably more in terms of rejected parts and warranty returns.

T510 Random Stuck Pixels?

I received my T510 FHD Thinkpad about a month ago and over the last few days it started to display random stuck pixels (always on - white). I say random because they eventually go away when I open and close windows or reboot the computer. Mysteriously reappearing later at random (not in the same spots if I recall correctly)???
After doing some internet research, I ran JScreenFix (http://www.jscreenfix.com/) for about an hour on full screen. The problem persists.
My son suggested this could be a driver issue (supported by the fact that the pixel becomes "unstuck" when shutting down Windows XP and doesn't appear until Windows finishes booting up). I am using the most recent Nvidia drivers so I'm hoping this is not isolated.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
Stephen

Update
This is apparently an issue exclusive to Windows XP. I used a separate HD and installed Windows 7 - no temporarily stuck pixels.
Have to assume this is a driver issue. Hopefully, Lenovo/Nvidia will release a fix soon.
Any other ideas/fixes would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Stuck Pixels + Dust

I have had my iPod for 4 months now and have had 2 stuck pixels since i got it, they have only just started annoing me as i have now started watching movies.
Added to this i have quite a large amount of dust behind the screen mainly in the top left corner, there are also one or two coloured particles whitch i am unable to identify, they are the size of 4 pixels and still appear wjen the screen is off, clearly the seal is broken or somthing along those lines as i have allways kept my iPod in an Apple iPod sock from the day I got it. I feel rather dissapointed by theese factors as the Multi-Touch display is the main feature of the iPod touch. I would like advice on where to go next... Should i visit an Apple Retail store os Send it in Online? I would also like to know if a refund is a possibility because as old phone has now ceased to function, i would like to get the iPhone... Would this be possible and how could i do this.
Thanks for Your Help Phil.

Phil,
There isn't much you can do about returning it or trading it. Apple gives you the 30 day grace period after purchase to return for a full refund and clearly 4 months is beyond this period. My suggestion would be to take it in, have it replaced (as it is still under warranty), then try and resell it on CraigsList or eBay.

Stuck Pixels

How is the quality of the iPhone display? Anyone seeing stuck pixels? Mine is free of stuck pixels but incase I find something odd in the 14 day exchange period I want to weigh that against the stuck pixel, which I would hate! How hard is it to remove the sim?

Go to the following link on your iPhone Safari browser. It is a handy (and free) web-based application that helps you see if you have any dead/stuck pixels.
http://iphonedpt.bravehost.com/
A few posts have appeared on these forums about dead/stuck pixels, but it does not seem to be a major problem.
The SIM is easy to remove. See page 113 of the iPhone User Guide.

Any way to fix a stuck pixel?

I have a 5530 with one stuck pixel. Not dead. Glows white, so I know its alive. Is there any way to fix it, or should I bother complaining about it to the dealer? It really doesn't bother me much, because it is in the edge of the screen and normally I do not notice it, but I do know it is there, so I am asking for advice.
Thanks.

Stuck pixels. Would you put up with them? Pic inside.

Here's my screen.
http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/5430/stuckpixelscn4.jpg
See the little white dots on the screen? Am I just too picky? Would you put up with it?

This is a week 38. You're right in arms length most of them are not that noticeable but I can still see some. Of course you don't realize they're there when you watch music videos since they're usually fast but when watching dark movies or seeing pictures you can see them.
I would think that for such a small screen costing $400 they should be near perfect and stuck pixels, negative blacks shouldn't be present in any of the production batches.
I'll give it try on replacing it next week and maybe I'll get a week 39 and hopefully it will be a little better.
