How to Fix Dead Pixels on Android Phone

How to Fix Dead Pixels on Android Phone

Posted on August 11, 2021 by Madalina Dinita Leave a Comment

If your Android phone’s touch screen has been acting up lately, and some areas have become unresponsive, some pixels may be dead. Fortunately, this is a rare problem. Dead spots usually occur in the four corners and the middle of the screen. But they can also affect keyboard letters as well. Let’s see what your options are when dealing with dead spots on Android.

How to Fix Dead Spots on Touch Screen

Take out the Case and Restart Your Phone

Your case could be interfering with some of your phone’s sensors. This often happens if you’re using a case that’s covering small areas of the screen. So, take out the case, restart your Android terminal and check if your display is working properly now.

Remove Your SIM Card and Battery

 

If your phone has a removable battery, take it out. But first, turn off the device and remove the SIM card as well. Wait for one minute, and then reinsert your SIM card and battery. Turn on the device, and check if there are still dead spots on your screen.

Enable Safe Mode

Boot into Safe Mode and check if you’re still experiencing the same problem. If the issue is gone, this indicates one of your apps is the culprit. Restart your device to exit Safe Mode and start uninstalling suspicious apps to solve the problem.

Uninstall Recently Installed Apps

If Android conflicts with one of the apps you installed on your device, this issue can potentially “kill” certain pixels. To identify the culprit, remove recently installed apps. Then restart your phone and check if the issue persists. If it does, uninstall Facebook Messenger, disable your live wallpaper, and remove all system optimization apps and RAM cleaners.

Take Your Device to a Repair Shop

Dead pixels are usually the result of hardware-related issues. If you’re still experiencing the same issue, go to an authorized repair shop and have a specialist take a look at your device. If the hardware is faulty, you’ll need to get a new display.

Conclusion

To fix dead pixels on your Android device, turn off your phone and remove the case. Then take out the battery and SIM card. Additionally, uninstall recently installed apps and well as RAM optimizers. If the issue persists, go to an authorized repair shop and have your phone repaired. Did you find other ways to fix dead pixels on Android? Share your ideas in the comments below.
