    I have a dead pixel in my galaxy s2..it wierd though as it only shows itself on certain sites. Even if I download a pixel checker app it does not show up...

    Anyone confirm if they have it? Go to this site: www.yonkis.com

    Look at the very bottom left hand corner..do you see a single bright pixel..then touch the screen/scroll, it disappears but returns when you take3 your finger away?

    Cheers

    if it only happens on some sites, then its not a dead pixel.

    Sooo weird....i gave the same web example here... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=72578723

    this is common issue and cannot be fixed - maybe with next soft.
    This is defo not pixel issue as it does not show up on different browser - for example opera. It also disappears when you touch the screen... Type in on google and you will get plenty of it. These small issues made me to return the phone back to supplier and get different make.

    Yes...I didnt bother me in bright room but it drove me crazy in dark room where this while pixel was screaming - I AM HERE!! HELLO I AM HERE...

    Sorry for the brief post earlier, i had to run.Which browser are you using? I tried that site on the stock browser and on opera and don't see it all on either. Have you updated your phone through samsung kies? Worth a try. Mine updated from KE1 to KF2 last week so maybe that will fix it. Definitely not a dead pixel though. I'd say its just a software bug.

    Just an update to anyone else having this minor issue..just updates the firmware via Kies, solves the issue.
