All was going well with me and my sensation, once my phone got dropped on hard surface and now splash of green dots (dead pixels?) are appearing on the screen.

Help me to sort it out, I'm not liking to see my sensation in this condition. :(

Screen shot attached.

As stupid as it may sound the freezer solution actually works ..just Google ..dead pixels freezer xda ...you'll get tons of successful results ..

Also I myself used this solution thrice on my device ..I got same dead pixels after it has fallen

If you got those dead pixels after a fall then I bet my RC status on this solution that it works

Now what you need to do is
1. Remove battery, sdcard and sim card from the phone
2. Tightly wrap a polythene bag or any other plastic bag such that not even a single drop of water can enter it ( I used rubber bands to keep the wrapped bag intact )
3. Keep the phone in freezer for 6-7 hours ( or for a night )
4. After that take out the phone ..leave the phone outside for 15-20 minutes to let it go to room temperature
5. Pop in necessary stuff and turn on the phone and see the magic
Note: after the above process even if a single dead pixel was left keep the phone back in freezer for another hour ..because if you start using the phone with that single dead pixels ..all the other dead pixels starts coming back during the time you use the phone

Worse? They were worst in my case.. Covered half of screen and I kept the phone in freezer for two nights.. To completely remove them.. And this means yes the process removed the dead pixels completely

Btw iirc I made a post with screenshots of screen with before freezer and after freezer conditions long ago

Tried the freezer technique, left the Mobile in freezer for 8 hrs.

Dead pixels are certainly reduced but not completely vanished.

So I put it back in again. :good:


BTW @ganeshp, How many times you did this to get rid of ur problem with pixels ?

Twice only one time and all the pixels were gone.
And once I have to keep the phone in freezer twice to get rid of them

I did it on my phone twice! which is now being used by my brother

There are countless examples.. Just Google for "freezer dead pixels xda" you'll get countless results.. With screen shots on various phones.. I said various phones because this procedure works for any device having an ips panel
