Stuck pixel. There is no red in your screenshot. I do see some white pixels where they don't belong, however.
Does this happen on KTU84P?

Hmm on my screen the blobs are red and not white. Is there s way fix this? I am on 4.4.4 BTW Cleanrom.

Oh, does it use the navbar from the 5.0 preview?
You might try something like this? https://play.google.com/store/search?q=stuck pixel&hl=en I have no idea if it will help, though.

No I changed the navbar myself. And do you think I should RMA this?

unfortunately not

Anyone know if this is something Google will fix using the warranty?

I have the exact same problem except I have it in the top right corner and I notice it on darker backgrounds , as far as I know their is no way to fix it because I think it is a hardware issue

Yea are you going to try to replace it.

Yes they will, but the process goes like this. Contact to get RMA, they of course try troubleshooting first ( which is basically factory reset), when that doesn't work, they inform you that you need to order a replacement which they will send you a special link to order. You order it with a credit card, they place a hold for the amount of the new unit, they send it to you and you return the defective one and they release the hold. You receive a brand new unit, not a refurbished one. As long as you have relocked your bootloader and flashed the stock ROM (assuming you did at all) all will be good. I have not had any touch problems with my replacement or pink spots appearing.

im thinking its maybe dead pixels?

[Q] Icon and text distorted

Newly bought M9. Icons and Text seems to be filled or surrounded with pixels in red. See screenshots attached.
I have checked and am sure there is no dead pixels on the screen.
Does anyone have this problem and know how to fix it? or should I return the phone to the retailer?
Thanks!!

Take it back. That doesnt seem right at all
If it's showing in screenshots too, it's software error.. So either try out some different roms, or if you don't like doing that, try a full reset and if it's still go back with it.
Thx guys, took it back and got a new one

Flashing rectangle next to battery percentage in drop down.

So when I drag down the mode menu, to the right of the battery percentage a rectangle flashes for a second. I've attached an image. In the image it's black, but sometimes it's green and sometimes it's white. Just seeing if anyone has this.

Same issue, I believe I have noticed other screen artifacts, but this one seems to be the one that is most constant
Yep I get it, not always but sometimes. Only seemed to occur after the most recent update.
Same here,
Did anyone reset the watch after update?

Yeah. Same issue.
Damn, I got the same thing.
I didn't even want to search for this. I just love my watch and wanted to pretend that this small thing didn't exist.
Good to know I'm not the only one

Yeah, it's not great. I hope they fix it soon with an update.
For me It's a non issue really. Very small item in the scheme of things.
I thought I was the only one with this. Seems like others have it to..
Anyone know a fix to get rid of it? Bothers me each time I pull down the drop down..

It is, and doesn't seem to affect anything. But it shouldn't happen and you would think they would fix it. It's just a bit sloppy.
Solution
This issue is fixed by changing the font size on the watch to small

Color balance issues and a few others

I finally got my new OP3 but I've noticed some color shifting when tilting the phone. Is this normal? Also I need help with something else. I want to completely remove lockscreen wallpaper on oxygen OS, so that it shows my home screen wallpaper. I'm rooted and I've tried deleting the keyguard wallpaper files, but all it does is show me a black screen unlike on the OP2. Can someone help?
1) there is no colour shifting on my op3, do you have a tempered screen guard on your phone?
2) when on oxygen os launcher long press on empty area of your home screen and select the lock screen wallpaper from there. its annoying that everytime you have to switch to oneplus launcher to change lockscreen wallpaper.
Isn't it possible to straight up get rid of it? I remember doing it on the OP2. By uninstalling the keyguard wallpaper file in system/users. But it keeps coming back after a black screen... And about the color balance, it only appears if I tilt my phone, which I read is a common problem with AMOLED screens all over. Can you confirm?

The only way is to set the same wallpapers for homescreen and lockscreen, there is no way to get rid of the wallpaper so you'll have to do it manually.

I'm not seeing any colour issue when i tilt my phone also i dont have any lag on my phone. I'm on stock rom and kernel. I clean flashed the signed rom via twrp and flashed supersu after it. I didnt go through the initial setup process.

Ok. I'll give that a try and report back... Thanks for you prompt response. Do you suggest I request a replacement if the issue persists?

black tinting on top screen...hardware fault or software?

Hey guys!
i am having this black tinting on top of my screen, its bugging me alot on wallpapers,
is this the software fault of the hardware. i just got my op3 last week.
i am posting the screenshot.
You can't be serious!! That's definitely software. It's not even an issue. try some launcher settings or new launchers to get rid of that shadow. FYI, If it's a hardware, it won't appear on your screenshot.

Can't really make out. But if its in the screenshot..then it's software. If it's hardware you will have to click a photograph with another camera for it to be visible
Seems like your screen got cracked after a drop. Can you make another screenshot so we can confirm the cracks as well?
great! just was confirming, thanks
