Hello Andy,

I'm sorry to see you suffer this issue as well, it is very annoying and if you're a person like me, it bothers you to the grave!

I can only recommend getting this repaired under warranty if the amount of dead pixels is so high that you'll have a Christmas tree.

However it does get worse in many cases, i noticed my two devices screen slowly getting worse after two to three months later after the first few faults.

i sent my device in twice to get it repaired and the first 4 weeks they will be perfectly fine, however after those 4 weeks, the pixel holocaust will start right over again. each and every colleague of mine who has the desire x suffer the same issue. fortunately they don't notice the pixels that well

And even now, i try to not notice them as it's a pain to be smartphone less for two weeks. You'll REALLY notice them when the screen is highly lit up, but most of the time if you set it to auto brightness it'll set it dim enough that you barely notice them

In the end it's an amazing phone, you really get a really great performance for the price, it never failed on me on anything else. the screen is a major setback, but not something I'd get rid of it for.

If you'd like to get it repaired you must go to this website;

HTC Phone support

Call them up and arrange a repair. it can take 2 - 4 weeks depending on the country of residense.

They will assign your faulty device to a in-depended repair center.

for Netherlands and Belgium users i can confirm that "Dynafix" will repair your device in less than two weeks for this issue

i contacted htc and as i got my phone on ebay i was thinking there was no chance but they said you have a warranty until 2015 but i need to send pics but all i have is my ipod and the cam is so poor on there everything looks pixalated even people looks like im going to have to grab my mates desire c and use his camera i love the phone its does everything i want to do but was watching video clips on it and i noticed the dots and once i notice something like that my eyes are drawn to it evrey time
[HTC Desire X] frostyhound:
Don't worry, i had this issue at first too! i highly recommend running the app called: LCD Pixel Tester. then go your settings>display> disable auto brightness and set it to highest manually. then go to the app and set it to black background. Find yourself a magnifying glass and try to get a good distance of it, take a picture of the magnified glass and you should see the pixels on the image clearly.

Also that app allows you to try fixing the stuck pixels with a rapid color spectrum flasher. always worth a try ^^
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
Thanks for that one i will give that a try now

Well it was close to giving me a seasure all that flashing lights but the pixles are still there but at least i can take a pic of them now thanks
[HTC Desire X] frostyhound:
Once you got a good picture, try to leave that flashing app running for a few hours. :)

And don't forget to post the pictures on this thread too, i'm trying to figure out if there's a weak area, where it might be a heat issue or something

Bad subpixels again

Hello, I had lot of green subpixels on black screen. In warranty service they change my screen. After 3-4 months I noticed again same problem. Now I am thinking if there is a point to sent it for repaire again. Is there anyone who has same problem again few months after repair ?
[HTC Desire X] waza97:
I have that problem as well however the screen still produces the screen quality it is only visible when on black so doewnt bother me as long as the screen is Still working and producing the correct colours

howdy y'all,

i have a stock ATT GS3 and I tried using odin with the fixboot.tar to root it so i could browse the system files. i ran odin and it said it was successful, but the phone is still not rooted. is there a different way of rooting the stock with baseband I747UCLH9?

thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newfold3r:
I have a Huawei Ascend G300 running Gingerbread. I've noticed a strange problem involving the memory.

The other day, my launcher kept restarting every time I pressed the home button. So I checked the running services and very few things were running. When I looked at the memory bar at the bottom however, it said 57mb used/1mb free. This device has 512mb of RAM supposedly, so something is obviously wrong here.

Since then, I have been checking the RAM usage bar in running services more often, and adding the used and free values together. From this I've noticed that the amount of total RAM varies wildly, I've seen values between 220 and 350. My RAM seems to just disappear and reappear randomly.

Does anyone know why my RAM could be disappearing like this?

When trying to update my TF I accidentally flashed an incomplete Rom (got lazy and didn't check MD5...) Anyway, ever since then it ALWAYS boots into CWM (5.8.3.4) If I boot w/Vol DN and let it cold-boot then it will go into a fresh install and setup fine. However, on the next reboot it will go back to CWM 5.8.3.4 I have flashed the newer CWM 6.0.1.4 v2 but it won't "take" the install seems to go fine but it always boots back to the old CWM. I've also flashed other ROMS and they don't "take" either.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonTonic:
Hello everyone,

Hoping you can help me before my mrs cuts my nuts off. She asked me to update her GS2 (GT-I9100 on 02) and completly wipe the phone as she has had random apps appear etc etc.

I said that wouldnt be a problem as ive done alot on my GS3, though i am still pretty new to the Android scene (Previously iPhone).

So she was on Stock 4.0.4 XXLQ6 firmware.

I followed the guide to root from here as i was aware of the hardbrick bug in this firmware.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

After that it was time for the Wipe data etc and flash the new rom. I chose JELLYBAM as its Android 4.2 with a mix of other things. Sounded perfect.

I followed all the steps EXACTLY from the Devs page:

http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/

All seemed to be going well at first, got to select afew options etc. Then it said it was Extracting the package...This is were the problems started.

It was stuck at 2% for AGES, then out of the blue the screen just went BLACK/BLANK......Hmmmm i thought!

I have since been trying to source info from everywere about how to turn the phone back on but having no luck at all. I have tried all the Soft/Hard boot methods, ive left it on charge (Yes it gets hot near the camera) and tried all boot methods whilst plugged into laptop with ODIN loaded up.

Nothing seems to be working.

Any help what so ever will be much appreciated. This device was never previously rooted. Im gutted a it was all going so well...I shoulda guessed something would go wrong.

Are you able to enter download mode? If you can make sure you have samsung drivers installed! Also JellyBam rom is not only for i9100 but other models too, are you sure you had the right rom? If you can't enter downlaod mode then try a USB jig?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonTonic:
Thank you for your reply, Unfortunatly i cannot enter any mode what so ever. The phone is literally dead...yet getting VERY hot as its plugged in.

Was thinking about taking it in to O2 2mora and seeing what they can do. Damn.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
If your still under warranty you should get a new motherboard.They won't be able to tell you've rooted it since it seems hard bricked.

Next time,get a custom kernel on it a.s.a.p and backup efs and make a nand backup before you start flashing roms.

Either that or stay away from 4.0.4 stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonTonic:
Thanks for your reply, I did put a custom kernal (Sirayh?) on it prior.

The phone was a year old august just gone! Not sure Samsung be interested.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
See if you can get your hands on a usb jig.If that fails try for a jtag.

Samsung warranty should be 24 months if you need it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cenobite_:
So you did a wipe on a Samsung 4.0.4 ROM with original kernel? Then you have indeed hardbricked your phone. You said you were aware of this bug, so I can't figure out why you would do a wipe?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonTonic:
No i changed the kernal, but followed the guide posted by DEV to install the ROM. Guessing i made a mistake somewere down the line as the phone is bricked!!

JIG & JTAG....will these help solve my problem? Not really clued up on them though i have done a brief look around. JTAG services is not in my area.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaReDeViL:
NO, on hardbricked S2 JIG/JTAG won't be useful. You can check my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756242 for more info.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaReDeViL:
:)

if your s2 is still under warranty, just take it to the reapir service and tell them that the phone was on charge all night and didn't wake up in the morning ;)

they won't be able to know what you did to it since it's completely unaccessible. If you successfully convince them, they'll change the motherboard !

PS : That isn't my idea but from what I saw in the hardbrick warning thread, most of the concerned people did the same trick ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonTonic:
Yeah i think this is the route imgoing to have to take :( Just spoke with them regards my GS3 and they said itll be 2 weeks to repair and return. No phone for 2 weeks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Please be more specific if you expect anybody to bother to help you.

When you say "can't really do anything" that doesnt tell us what you have tried and not tried!

1) Can you enter recovery mode?

2) Can you enter download mode?

3) Have you tried a USB Jig?

4) Have you removed battery for 30 mins?

5) What happens when you power on phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pooshkis:
Sorry.

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) trying to find now what it is

4) For 30 mins no, for few minutes - yes

5) It starts and then i got some errors memo.process, process.acore and few others (can't remember now). I can get email, explore through home screens and menus, but can't call, receive calls, write messages, look up contacts or memos and stuff only going through screens. Maybe I could do a hard reset or wipe the phone, but then won't i brick my phone?

EDIT: As user Pilaf suggested (thanking him a lot!) I installed a new siyha kernel then did a full wipe / factory reset, seems everything is backing up from google account and phone is working..

Hello @ all,

I installed Windows 8 Pro and am now trying to sync my phone with HTC Sync. I currently use Android Revolution HD 6.8.0. With Windows 7 I had no problems.

What I did:

- install Full HTC Sync

- then I had no connection to my phone, I read in other threads that I have to manually install the Win7 drivers. Then Windows recognized my phone.

- Start Sync

- confugured Sync to sync my contacts and calendar

- then it started to sync and seems to stop after more than 5 minutes syncinc

- I aborted the sync and restarted HTC Sync

- I saw, that my contacts were synced, calendar too

- When I now try to sync once more it starts to sync but after some seconds HTC Sync crashes without any message...

Does someone know where the problem is?

[HTC Sensation] snewby:
Solved - easy

Well it looks like HTC are a bit slack packaging all the correct bits for HTC Sync ..

I solved this by..

1. First deleted all the HTC components

2. install the new HTC Sync Manager sw (it has bits that HTC Sync can use, like HTC Driver Installer that will actually install)

3. then installi HTC Sync. (It will figure out what it needs and wont re install bits that got loaded in step2)

4. You may then like to open HTC sync and say OK to the Adobie Air (not esential)

5. Plug in the Phone by USB as usual and it should now find HTC Sync

Good luck, .and hope this helps someone.

ps, My Phone was a Sensation

Someone else may like to figure out what can then be uninstalled from HTC Sync Manager and still allow HTC Sync to keep running???
