So I got a refurbished phone a few days ago and it has these weird pixels

It's not a dead or stuck pixel. I don't know what it's called but every time I scroll through anything whether it be the internet browser or through the home pages these weird pixels show up in random places on the screen but they aren't permanent. I really don't know how to describe it but if anybody knows what I'm talking about, does the warranty cover it or is there any way to fix it?

You mean for example, you were browsing a webpage with a white background then suddenly pink pixels came jumping around, then disappear? Are there only scattered pixels or a column of them?

It is covered in your warranty but you should take them back ASAP.


Oh, Welcome to the forums

Yeah exactly! It's like random colored pixels scattered all over the place
And thank you

May I ask what type of phone it is? I do know that some HTC phone has problems with random colored lines showing up but not like your scattered ones. It can also happen to jailbroken iPhones.

Take it back to where you got it. And welcome to the world of refurbs...
