Line/Dead Pixels In Screen
 

I ve had my touch pro for about 4 days, and it seems like the bar from the AIM messenger burned into my screen. There is a permanent line going vertical on my screen from when I ran it in landscape mode. Even after restarting and doing a hard reset it will not go away. Anyone else experience this? I took it back to sprint they said they would order me a new one, but i kinda dont want a new one if the next one will do the same thing. Think they released em too early?

I think he meant to take a picture of your phone with a camera so we can see exactly what you are talking about. I am also interested.

any thoughts?

not good at all.....send it back for an exchange.

You could try a hard reset just to make sure it has nothing to do with tweaks..etc., but I really think it is a hardware issue with the screen.

Re: Line/Dead Pixels In Screen
 

ya that is definitely a hardware issue.

I've seen the retention issue on desktop and video LCDs but not on a phone. It looks like an embossed edge of the bar is retained rather than a solid area. Sometimes a batch of LCDs will have this problem so one device may have the issue while another doesn't.

Crazy thing is, it is getting worse and worse now lol. Sprint giving me BS about not having any in stock because its new and the warehouse is on back order. I ve been waiting a week for my replacement

Re: Line/Dead Pixels In Screen
 

i thought there was a program that would flash different colors on your screen to possibly get rid of stuck pixels. that was back in the mogul days...that seems so long ago

Hey, **** happens with screens. I think it is safe to assume it isn't a widespread issue, a lot of us have had our phones for 3 weeks at this point and you're the first to report this. Get the replacement (even if you have to wait a week) and be glad Sprint didn't give you any hassle is my personal take on this.

Definitely looks like some sort of hardware anomaly, and I'd be willing to bet it's not caused by AIM specifically.

OOh.. that looks quite painful!

You should have no trouble replacing it... so long as Sprint gets the phone back in stock!

Yea ive come to the conclusion that line wasnt from the aim app, because there is about 20-30 lines all the way on the right side of the screen from other apps I ve run. The combination of all the lines has made it into one really BIG grey/white line going down the side of my screen now. I m guessing its from running different screens and apps in landscape mode

Re: Line/Dead Pixels In Screen
 

My Diamond did this too. and Sprint replaced it no problems.

I'm also waiting on sprint to get some in stock to exchange mine. I just have one small black dead pixel in the bottom, not nearly as bad as what you have. But still annoying for a $500 phone.
