iphone 4 pixel

**theodred** · 10-06-2010, 07:16 AM

my phone has this tiny dot at the edge that is visible when the background is of light color...the tiny dot is brighter than the rest of the background and i don't see it if the background is dark....is this a dead pixel or something else?

there's a free app called flashlight. it makes your screen red blue green white and black. this isn't a dead pixel finder or anything but its helpful i think since you can check your screen with that app.

That might be a stuck pixel. Try downloading that flashlight app posted above and cycle through the colors. That could get it un-stuck.

i got my iphone 4 last weekend... after a few days i noticed the proximity sensor is faulty.
just got a new unit as a replacement... 1 dead pixel near the top of the screen.
will let this one go...

Went to a Globe business center to have the dead pixel examined. After a while, they decided they should take my phone and send it to Apple for repair or replacement. It will be a long three weeks of waiting.

can you replace the iphone 4 on globe even if its only 1 dead pixel?

^ I could not tell if it was just one pixel

. But it was large enough to be noticed, even by other people. In any case, they took it in under warranty; I just don't know if they are having it repaired it or replaced altogether.
