I was just doing a reboot and on the white screen I noticed a black spec. Its extremely small... Like maybe the size of a period or so. Do you think its dust? Do pixels burn out on these like a LCD tv? Should I try and take it back?

I have a few of these small black specs. It is a little smaller than a period, but that combined with the dust is starting to get on my nerves. I am going to wait as long as I can to get a replacement in hopes that they fix this problem with newer hardware, although from what I understand nothing new is going on the hardware end of the storm.

Yes you can have a dead pixel. I'm glad if I do have any I can't see them. It would drive me crazy. That's why I never really look for any.

i didnt notice till i upgraded to the 5.0 hybrid and i was watching the white screen to see how long it took to boot up... i saw it and now i cant stop staring at it. i have a couple bubbles in my screen protector and they dont bug me anywhere near as much as that pixel hah

those are the sensors on your screen that tells the phone where your finger is at... they have those on any touch screen.... atms iphones all of them.

just make sure you have insurance for the phone and throw it against a wall! lol

Yeah i know what you are talkin about and this is not one of them. Im 99.9% positive that its a dead pixel.

I was told it was dust in between the outer screen and the mesh where all the video comes from. The video actually comes from a mesh of sensors that form the pixels for the video. I was told that this is a smart phone and not to be kept in a pocket, to be kept in a holster. I've had no problems since i got a replacement and kept it in a holster.
