Just ran it twice, 30mins each time but unfortunately it had no effect on the 1 stuck pixel I have. I'll try it with a few other apps and post up results if anything is successful
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] PhilipL:
Hi

Dead or stuck pixels are faulty pixels. Flashing colours does not fix them, it is snake oil.

What usually happens is the process of running these apps for 30 minutes or so just heats up the display and some faulty pixels have connection faults that fix themselves with the stresses caused by expansion due to the heat. It is the same process that means gentle pressure can sometimes "fix" a faulty pixel if the fault is of a certain type on an LCD monitor. Pressure on mobile phones doesn't work as well as the front glass and display is designed not to flex under the pressure of a finger for obvious reasons.

If you are lucky, a pixel that starts working may continue to work, usually however it will just fail again at some point in the future. These faulty pixels that work for a while are the same ones that appear after an hour, a day or a week of using the phone after you thought you had a perfect screen. The fault was always there.

The best thing if you don't want faulty pixels and find them, is not to try and fix them, but to exchange the phone. Better to exchange it sooner rather than later.

Regards

Phil

Than you for this post. I have a very very small dead pixel in the center of my screen and it really doesn't bother me. I have to adjust my eyes and have a white background to see it.. Would this damage the screen further or do you think it would be fine? I don't want to have to get a replacement lol :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] gee2012:
Exchange it if it bothers you when you have a dead pixel, as your display should be as good as the money you paid imo :cool:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] PhilipL:
Hi

It is very unlikely to become any worse, so if you are okay with it no problem, you do not need to worried about more failing.

Generally LCD displays have an allowable number of dead/stuck pixels anyway. This is because otherwise the yield would be much lower as displays would be thrown out putting the price very high. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defective_pixel

Thanks!! This helped with 3-4 stuck pixels i had. Eventually i'll do an RMA but for the time being it helped.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Caelrie:
Regardless of the allowance, Google will RMA a phone with a single dead pixel, no questions asked.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Il.Socio:
Than app is quite good indeed, but unfortunately it doesn't support yet the full screen...

So it can't be used to detect dead-pixels which are located at the bottom of the screen.

I suggest you using this one, instead, which supports full-screen and can be used to detect dead-pixels and fix stuck-pixels:

search Perfect Pixel Checker on Google Play, because the board doesn't let me post links yet.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] GSLEON3:
Yes it does. It absolutely will render on the entire screen. You just have to touch the screen & the status & nav bars will hide.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] 3UR0TR45H:
FWIW I did something similar to my 6 year old Apple Cinema HD display and it worked wonders ironing out stuck & burned pixels.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Huey85:
ran for over 12 hours and didn't fix any of the stuck pixels on both the devices I received that were faulty. RMA'ed first, and now waiting for replacement for my other one. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Il.Socio:
Sorry to insist, but it doesn't and I just tried again just to be sure.

Open the Display Tester, wait for the countdown, then I select the "display pixel detection" option and you'll notice that the nav bars is hidden, but the color doesn't fill the entire screen, in the nav bar the color is still black...

so, if you have some dead pixel in that position you'll not be able to find it.

If you use the Perfect Pixel Checker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bgtechapps.perfectpixelchecker

the color will be shown in full screen, so you'll be able to find all the dead-pixels.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] ChongoDroid:
I have three tiny black specs on mine, one looks a little smaller than the other which is weird.. I wonder if they are dead pixels or dust under the screen
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] OzmodRom:
thanks for this post :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Venomous Viper 119:
My nexus 5 has a single dead pixel every since I bought it 9 months ago & I haven't had any issues & the phone is just as great as it used to be. Dead pixels appear as black spots on your screen & by "dead " it means they're really dead. They can't be fixed. Stuck pixels appear in multiple colors & they can be fixed by these apps. No need to be worried to an extent to get an RMA as I haven't seen anyone reporting the dead pixels spreading. If you want to be on the safer side, no harm getting one. But you can easily hide them by using dark wallpapers if you have one or two.

So I use Tmo's $30 plan and also VOIP in the native dialer for calling. Had no problems over WIFI but over cellular call would ring, then hang up right away. I figured out it was the IPv6 setting in the Mobile Networks/APN for Tmobile. I changed the fast.t-mobile.com APN Protocol to IPv4 like it was on my Nexus 4 and no problems, LTE works, calling works and so does VOIP over wifi and cellular. Might save someone some headache
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maamdroid:

[Moto X Q&A] JhonnyMichel:
Well, I woke up this morning and my Moto X had 1% battery left. (Yeah, I know I should charge it at night and use in the morning, but sometimes you just fall sleep while using your phone, you know). I ran to put it to charge but I couldn't make it in time. So I ran out of charge and then connected the charger.

Everything was ok, but I was late for work so I took it off from charging at 50% battery.

Late in the night, I put it to charge again with 20% battery. And then my phone died! it wouldn't turn on. So I disconnected the charger and try to wake my phone and it did turn on. But now everytime I connect the charge the phone turns off! I checked out if the battery was actually charging and at least I'm ok about it. It's charging. But I can use it until I disconnect the charger.

Anyone has been through it? Any solutions? Or I just need to wait till it get 100% charge?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] RolandD:
Problem:

Certain apps that must remain in memory (e.g. PhotoContacts) get knocked out by WinCE's wonderful memory management mechanisms, after other programs are loaded.

What's even more hilarious, Program Memory (RAM) never goes below

~45MB (I have 77.57MB in total dedicated to RAM), yet apps do get terminated.

1. How can all that memory be utilized fully? Is there a way to descrease the threshold? E.g. terminate apps when only 10MB remains

2. Is there a way to "lock" an app in memory? Or mark it as "system" so it's not touched by memory manager under any circumstances.

P.S. My device is PDA2k

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] TranceChaos:
I currently own the Note 2 n7100, but today I saw Note 3 on display and played around with it. I was quite impressed by the screen quality and the new s-pen. That tip felt a lot better then Note 2's slippery plasticy one, and I actually enjoyed doodling some stuff with it.

I use my Note 2 mostly for sketching, watching movies, and reading some books.

But I want to know how the Note 10.1 2014's screen compares to Note 3's in terms of brightness, contrast, and clarity? and for watching movies in dark

If I buy the Note 10.1, I get to keep the Note 2 as well.

But if I buy the Note 3, I will have to sell my Note 2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ddavtian:
I don't have a Note phone, still on S3, no value added from me to your post. But 2 gadgets are better than one. Get Note 10.1, keep your phone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] wilsonhuang:
The Note 10.1 is exactly like the Note 3 except bigger screen/resolution and can't call. You can also use the note 10.1 s pen on the Note 2. Therefore keep the Note 2 and get this tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
Yea, the screen looks like a larger, more higher resolution version of the Note III. It's beautiful. Like when your walking around the mobile phone displays at the store, the Note III's screen stands out above all the rest in clarity and detail. You can just instantly pick that one out over the others from a glance. Well, it's the same thing with the Note 2014, surrounded by all the other tablets it just makes you just stop and take a look at it because it's so clean.

Once I pick up my Note '14, I'll have exactly what you have. A Note II and a Note 2014. It's seriously the way to go in such a situation.

And personally, I never use my Note II's S-pen. It's hand cramp central writing with that thing, but writing on the 2014 in the store feels very comfortable because of the size of the device and placement of the hard buttons.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] inolvidable:
I also think note 2 + note 10.1 2014 is the way to go. For the uses you describe the tablet makes a perfect fit. IMHO the only real drawback of the note 10 . 2014 vs note 3 is the contrast ratio. But unless you vitally need very very deep blacks, this screen is gorgeous and... big

On the other hand, I think the tablet has better outside visibility, although I am not 100% sure about it

iiSo say we all!! from my SM-N9005

Own both in fact Samsung should give me a great customer loyalty rating because I own the Galaxy Gear too.

The Note 3, I use for phone calls, apps .... It is the device I always have with me.

The Gear, is a convenience get email in the meeting glance to the watch. Got myfitnesspal, and a few apps on my Gear. I love the device.

The Note 10.1 use for games such as Dead Trigger II, magazines, movies, browsing the problem with the Note 10.1 is being a tablet I am not always carrying it, also no LTE.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
I have Note 3 and 2014. Perfectly happy and I use both A LOT.

But I would double check the S-Pen compatibility thing. Sometimes when I'm using both, I will use the larger 2014 S-Pen on the Note 3 and it works most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it's a phone issue because the Note 3's pen works flawlessly 100% of the time with its phone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] bruce16878:
Having both, felt note 10.1 is a tone down note 3 with bigger screen without NFC & proximity sensor. I prefer note 3 as it more easier to bring out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] abacus0101:
Its not the greatest for watching movies. I find that dark scenes in movies appear very washed out looking, almost like watching on an LCD TV, where there is some light bleed coming thru on the blacks. Just my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mi7chy:
Stick with the Note 2 if that's all you're doing.

IPS LCD can't compete with the pure black of SAMOLED for watching movies in the dark. IPS will show black as grey.

Sounds like your best choice is keep the Note 2 and get the Note 10.1 2014 (Snapdragon 800).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
I watch movies and shows on my Note 3. Nothing, in my opinion, can compete with SAMOLED for that. Work, etc. gets done on the 10.1, which is awesome for multi tasking and getting business done.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] TranceChaos:
Thanks for all your input guys! This has been very helpful.

I will go for the Note 10.1 for now. And I will probably get the Note 3 next year after its price goes down a bit.

For movies, I'll have to stick with my Note 2 for the nice contrast.

Hey all. I am really new to the forum so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. There seems to be a million places this could get posted so Ill post here to start off!

My gf's mother gave her this cheap tablet called the Supernova from Pandigital. As some of you might now, Pandigital went out of business so there is no support for this tablet. It is still running android 2.3.1. I read that andoird 4.4 only needs 512mb of RAM and felt like it is the perfect opportunity to upgrade this tablet. My gf gave it to me to tinker with so I would love to get KitKat on it!

So i guess my question is how can I start learning more about installing android on devices so I can possibly put it on this tablet? Also where is the best place to post about this device.

Hi - great site loads of good info

Ok i have a few questions i cant seem to work out even after reading ! so no laughing !

Phone is a SPV M2000 on Orange monthly pay sim,

What is a Radio Rom ? - does this mean this phone has a radio built into it ? if so how do i unlock it / get it to work ?

My Operator version is 5.31.1.162 / ROM 1.31.00 but i have some problems with the phone - mainly when the phone rings or i dial people ..... basically we cant hear each other or talk, kind of like its on mute or something ? ..... a soft reset usually sorts it but it is really annoying and happens on and off ...... also the phone seems slow ? ..... i have slid the memory line over to 2/3 system memory but still a very slow i think ? .... ive tried searching for a patch that someone talked about but cant find anything ?

Can i upgrade to a new ROM ? ..... id like a UK spec if possible as i don't want funny things going on to the system in foreign languages !!! i have seen a T mobile one, could i use this ?

i have just done the sim unlock and it seems to be ok although i haven't tried on another sim yet

please try and keep it simple, with good links etc if needs be

Thanks in advance

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TKLondon:
Hi

Ill answer what I can, as im pretty new to this too.

The radio is not a FM type radio, but the electronics that do things like WIFI and Bluetooth.

The no sound issue is a well reported bug.

I have an orange spvm too and I had it replaced.

The support line took ages to acknowledge the fault, but in the end replaced the phone and this so far is working well.

If for you it does not, then by law you can reject the phone as having an inherrent fault regardless of how old it is, as it was not of mechantable quality when you got it.

The speed,

I noticed that even when you click the little X in the top corner, the app is still running, so this will slow it down.

Your best bet maybe to every now and then do a soft reset just to clean things up.

The Tmobile Rom.

Not sure, as Im also thinking about this.

What I want to know is , will this Rom give me Tmobile settings?
