6 days later ... here's the qaulity of the iPhone 3G.
-4 Dead Pixels, one massive dead pixel in the most noticable spot and found this sucker on the first night when I got the unit.
*Seen 4 units with this problem and now 5*
-Dust between the LCD + Digitzire
-Housing is flaking and peeling near one of the edges.
Pls do this check on your iPhone asap to get it swapped for a new unit
iPhone 3G Dead Pixel Check
Follow the steps and you’ll most likely find one or many dead pixels, I strongly suggest you to do this check once every 3 weeks.
1- Create a jpg that’s 480px by 320px – Full Black
2- Sync it to your iPhone
3- Turn up your screen 100% Bright & turn off the lights
4- View that jpg in full screen mode landscape format
5- Position the iPhone in front of your face and make sure it’s level to your face. Start tilting it down slowly, and start looking. Repeat this a few times and make sure your entire LCD has been examined. The dead pixels will appear green.
I thought I was the very few that had this bad luck, but my GF’s unit was checked today and found 4 tiny dead pixels that are not noticeable in normal lighting. Both of our units are less then a week old.
Another solution for iPhone 3G Dead Pixels
You might have a stuck pixel; to cure this and release them is simple
1- Get the application called FlashLight from the iTunes store.
2- Turn up your screen 100% Bright & turn off the lights
3- Set the application Strobe mode, let it run
4- Position the iPhone in front of your face and make sure it’s level to your face. Start tilting it down slowly, and start looking. Repeat this a few times and make sure your entire LCD has been examined. The dead pixels will appear green.
This method has a 20% success rate and you could be lucky to release it.
Since you have a 1 year Warrantee, book an appointment with the G BAR (GayBar) aka Genius Bar *they only wish they were at this level* and they will replace it when you come in. They are going to pull some ; “LCDs aren’t perfect and blah blah blah” but, you have 90% chance they will replace it, if they are big and located in the most annoying spots.
Thank you Apple for such quality products and a proper QC!

I have at least 7-8 dead pixels.
I have had the for the past 2 months? maybe more?
Another thing i have is "wifi charging" yup wireless charging. Because once an a while once i disconnect the phone, it still shows its charging and my home screen is the battery status bar. THEN sometimes it wont even register that the phone is charging when its connected.
Ohh yeah it also has a big crack on the screen (still). I am waiting to abuse it a tad bit more before i go get a new one. :eek: |
