best thing to do is to return it for another one

it's very rare to see a stuck LED on the SAMOLED+ screens

it stays even after a reboot?

Default Stuck Red Pixel

Anyone else have one?

It's really not a big deal, except that I've only had the phone for two days. They usually go away on their own after time but I have to admit it's annoying.. because I purposely look to see if it's their when I'm in the web browser, which is really the only time I see it (only really visible on white background)

Thumbs down Dead Black Pixels? Picture not rectangle?

Okay so I was about to go to bed when I realized that the phone died...so I plug it in and I was like wooooahhhh wtfff...

I see all these weird dead black pixels and on top of that the battery isn't perfectly rectangle...the back part is zigzaggy...I tried to take a picture but it doesn't come out..

Try it. Go into a really dark room and turn phone completely off. Plug it in and wait for the battery picture to come on...any of you see the multiple dead black pixels and non rectangular battery? ?

An alternative way that I also tried was a black background on the lock screen...I saw only a few dead black pixels...not as much as plugging it in...dam I thought my batch was perfect...

That wouldn't help because its a hardware problem. I'm going to return it and wait 2 months and get it at a cheaper price....

are you sure those are dead LED?

there's no pixel in SAMOLED displays, each "pixel" is actually a LED

so are you absolutely sure those LED at dead?

if you put a HD picture on screen of a uniform colour, does it leave any black spots?

That's what I meant, thank you for clarifying....I see splotches on dark shades of black...its like the screen is dirty, but isn't.
