Dead Pixels on the screen - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

So after month of owning this phone (SD version), yesterday I noticed that there was green pixel on dark backround. After a while of looking at black picture with max brightness, I noticed several small red-blue-green dots all over the screen, which weren't visible on other backrounds. I have already sent it to repair centre (free screen replacement). I just wanted to ask, is it frequent problem with RN3 or I was just unlucky? Is there any side effects of replacing the screen?

I'm using this device for about 6 months now and i haven't seen even one dead pixel in my phone till now, but I haven't noticed even one dead pixel on the screen till now...
So, I guess you were unlucky and your device had this problem...

Can you check it on dark room, with dark backround and 100% brightness? Just want to make sure Also, I think I was unlucky too, I hope replacement screen is better.

I have rn3 sd version.
and I noticed 3-4 dead pixels on the screen
it cannot be seen on regular usage. hardly can be noticed when lcd test (dark screen full brightness)
I think many rn3 phones have same problem. many users just have not noticed yet.

it's common and expected, for the price you won't get the best panel, i also have 2 stuck pixels, one green and one red

Yeah I got one too and maybe 2-3 more...but not visible in normal usage.
Happened after like 5-6 months.

hmm, it seems that many are having stuck pixels, mine just had too many and it's free screen replacement anyway, so Thanks for replies guys.

I bought it from china so hope it works well long enough...its not an option to send it back

can't say, haven't tried custom roms yet. Flash stock rom to be sure it's not software related

flashing

I couldn't spot any dead pixel on my phone....
I guess I'm the lucky one then:fingers-crossed:
Some of my friends have the same device and they also don't have any dead pixels...
Well, see if your replacement panel also have the same issue...
Edit: I don't think that's a kernel bug as many users including me are on Radon and none of them reported this issue...

I have a unusual red fingerprint that barely visible on the bottom part of my screen.
You can only see it on still black screens and you will have to look carefully to see it.

It is a comment problem to LCD screen my all phones have dead pixel except Redmi note 3

Yeah, I'm pretty sure thats not kernel related (I haven't flashed any custom kernels anyway). I hope replacement screen will be good.

I had a orizontal green line at bottom only on miui.
On aosp doesnt exist.

My phone has several blue and green patch, when I purchased never noticed it till 1 month. After that I got screen replacement when I visited service center, Now my phone creeks.. If grabbed hard its back panel creeks.
I don't blame, Its a cheap company and cheap phone. But performance is good.

Creaking is actually common on RN3. Althought mine didn't (well, I was using a silicon case) and I don't think screen replacement did that, unless service center did a bad job at it.

Actually back panel is rubber glued. (The speaker and upper panel) I think when they open up phone, for screen, they removed rubber glue, so now it creeks against plastic..

[Q] Stuck pixel, would you return it?

i have one stuck blue pixel in lower half of the screen,
do you think i should return it?
or can i for only one?
does anyone else have any stuck pixels?
i can live with it but its annoying knowing its there!
If you can, then I don't see what's stopping you.
I returned an N73 with a dead pixel and i'd do it again without hesitation.
To be exact, LED-screens (including OLED) don't have stuck (sub)pixels since there are no moving parts.
Only LCD's can have stuck pixels.

Serious question then:
Yesterday I had what appeared to be a dead or stuck pixel. It was extremely annoying and after running a dead pixel test, I rebooted it and it was gone a few minutes later. What was it?
surely if it was dead it wouldnt be blue?

I don't know, the guy above me just said pixels can't get stuck on OLED, so now I"m confused.
Return it for an exchange...
It would kill me to have something so small ruin a great screen.

i bought mine from Argos, i hate the pink tint on the front camera and the ink marks were in some bad areas on the phone, im getting my 4th S3 tomorrow. I hope i dont get ink marks (big long thick ones) in the middle of the screen. YES I SAID 4th Galaxy S3 replacement. best thing about Argos is, they send someone to pick it up from your house and the guy gives you the new replacement.

"Dead Pixel Detect and Fix". I let it run for a few minutes then when it looked a little smaller I rebooted and it was gone.
tried that for over 30 mins, ive got one stuck pixel so it cant get smaller its either there or its not
No idea then sorry, mine looked to be two or three consecutive. The app lowered that down to about one and then I rebooted and it was gone.
Defenitly exchange it!

crap, exchanged phone and new one has horrible dead pixels

Guess it's back to the store tomorrow to exchange again.
This has a stuck pixel that shows up on light pages, which is 90% of what the background is on most apps.
It actually looks like it's more like 4 or 6 pixels together that don't work, because there are 2 others that are stuck that are 1/4 of the size if not smaller.

I've read about app which supposedly works great for HTC One..it detects and takes care of stuck and dead pixel..
(though i don't understand how dead pixel can be removed.. )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect&hl=en
But i would recommend replacing it again till you get perfect piece..

I did, but now I had to go back to silver, I liked the black better but this store didn't have one.
The power button on this phone doesn't seem as good, but the screen looks good so far. Only issue is today is day 14, so I'm stuck with this one. If any issues come up I'll need to file a warranty claim.

Stuck pixel

I notice there are stuck pixels on my reno 4,is that normal?do you have stuck pixel ?and anybody knows how to fix it?
i have notice but i see them only when booting my phone there are many .. But i dont see them when phone is booted everything is perfect so i dont think its problem
I think there is a percentage basis depending on the manufacturer but If you have anymore than 3 dead pixels I would be looking to have the panel replaced under warranty.

not really stucked pixels, you should try with maximum brightness, black screen to see when you phone boots up completely.

How about yours?
it happened to me lol. The MI bootlogo got stuck for 1 minute. It was like an amoled burn in but after that it went away.
HOW IT HAPPENED: I was installing a ROM and it took some time to boot at the MI logo (3 minit) and the MI logo got burned on the screen. After that I used the phone as usual and the burn in MI logo disappeared. I cant guarantee my problem is the same as yours tho.
When I bought my phone I checked it for like 5 minutes in the store to make sure that I don't have any dead/stuck pixels and only after I verified that I bought it.
Anyway I think they won't cover it under warranty unless it's more than 3 pixels but you should try anyway.
And by the way burn-in and stuck pixels are different and since this is an LCD display the burn in will go away after a few minutes but a stuck pixel can stay forever even if it's not a dead pixel.
It's a known problem with the Redmi Note 4. The panels are bad \ low quality.
A shame really, great phone other than that.
It seems the number of stuck pixels is increasing with time. I also didn't have even one stuck pixel when I got it, and I have around 20 after 1 month of use.
Yep. Have stuck pixel. When I got it, I checked it and did not have any. Over time two appeared. Since it's a low budget phone and low quality , i think it's normal. I usually buy a phone with quad hd screen to bypass this problem. Cause with quad screens, the dpi is so high that you won't noticed any dead or stuck ones. But oh well, you get what you pay for.
Has anyone replaced screen panel and fixed the problem?
bump, looking for a solution to this.
i got that too :crying:
because mido have 2 type lcd
i forgot the name
1 type is have a good quality
and 1 type have a normal quality

Manufacturing Defect?

Just got the new Redmi Note 4 (64GB+4GB) yesterday and spent half my day setting up the phone and transferring all of data to it. Some time late in the night I did a reboot and while the phone booted in the first boot screen that is, a completely black screen with Mi logo on it, I noticed a few coloured spots ranging from the bottom of the screen to the top. Once it booted up, I went into the gallery and opened up a completely black wallpaper, turned on the brightness to full and zoomed in the black portion of the wallpaper and again saw those spots at the exact same place.
Is this a manufacturing defect?
Thank you for your help.

Have they gone away? The screen is known to have temporary burn in that goes away after like 5 hours
I also noticed these spots on my screen. Is it a hardware or a software defect? If it's a hardware defect, Xiaomi should address this asap. I can't have a brand new phone with burnt dots on screen.

Just checked again and there are still some spots. Majority of them seem to have gone away. Will check again in a day or so.
I don't have any spots on my screen at all.

Have you flashed any Roms since you got it? Could you be running a buggy vendor/reseller ROM?

Haven't flashed anything yet. Got the phone yesterday. Contacted Xiaomi service centre, waiting for their response
dead pixels. xiaomi phones have always had dead pixels at least in all the phones i have used. redmi note 4g, note 3, mi4, the 2 replacements for redmi note 4g all had 5 or 6 dead pixels. sometimes they are not visible until you forcefully try to look for them. 1 or 2 dead pixel is fine and i used to freak out earlier but now i have accepted 1 or 2 dead pixels whenever i buy a cheap phone. only my mi pad had no dead pixel. almost all brands have 1 or 2 dead pixel and that can be ignored but more than 5-6 can't be ignored imo.

Stuck pixels spotted
Hi
Even i have more than 30 stuck pixels,
some are small and 4 pixels are big among them and they are Cyan blue colored.
Same problem here. But my wife's phone doesn't have it. Same model
Please raise a complaint to Xiaomi and get it replaced at the earliest. Sounds like dead pixel issue.

[HELP] Screen leftovers from other apps, (lcd image burn)?

So recently my phone has ghost images, leftovers from other apps on the screen. (eg. The top bar showing up ghostly when it shouldn't, controls of a game showing up on home screen after closing the game in a ghostly effect) It is not a software problem. I know it goes away on its own after some time, but it's very annoying and its freaking me out. Anyone else got this problem? How do I fix/prevent it
i got it to.not know hot to fix it
Very disappointed from xperia screen
I have also the same problem and it looks like a hardware issue. It's very noticeable when you increase the screen brightness. Notification bar icons/time appear all time against any dark background. Very annoying, even cheap phones don't have that problem.
Example I found online -> lnv.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79782iF19656F933D1C741

Yes, thats exactly my problem. I noticed that it gets worse if the device is overheating
Sorry for the bump, but is any else having the same issue?
Mine seems to be getting worse and worse over time, to a point that it can literally retain half way up the display.
I use to have the same issue with my iPad Mini Retina until I took it in for a replacement and it hasn't happened since (2 years ago).
Any experiences with Sony replacing the display under warranty?
Thanks,

Wow, yours got on the next level. Mine isnt so bad. Actually , I rarely have the problem lately. Do you run poison 7.1? That particurar ROM I was using was problematic, causing the phone to overheat and the lcd problem was present all the time
Mine is completely stock and unrooted.

running completely stock & unrooted. Mine has this problem too. However, the image disappear after 10-20 minutes :|
I had this problem on my unit as well. Tried to adjust the white balance and it seems the issue was barely noticeable on the status and navigation bars.
The good thing is that screen retention falls under manufacturing defect and you will get a new screen.
Mine got replaced with a brand, spanking new one, but the issue has started to creep in just a little bit after a few months, but its very faint.
