Stuck Pixels after Installing iPhone 2.0.1 Update

Has anyone else noticed any new stuck pixels after installing the iPhone 2.0.1 update?

As you can see below, my 8GB iPhone 3G began displaying a stuck pixel in the upper-left immediately after installing the 2.0.1 update. At first, I figured that this was an average stuck pixel that coincidentally appeared immediately after applying the 2.0.1 update. However, after further examination, I don’t think that this is a normal stuck pixel.



A few hours later, my mother updated her 8GB 1st gen iPhone, and as you can see below, she now has a vertical line of stuck pixels in the same region as mine. Since her stuck pixels also appeared immediately after installing the 2.0.1 update, I’m beginning to think that my stuck pixel may not be an isolated issue.



I have tried to restore both iPhones, adjust the brightness, apply light pressure to the stuck pixels, and run the Knox Pixel Fix for iPhone. Neither method worked. To further complicate the issue, the stuck pixels appear to flicker when viewed through the LCD screen of my digital camera.

Stuck pixels are (as the name implies) stuck, they do not flicker. This, added to the fact that the issue occurred immediately after applying the 2.0.1 update, leads me to believe that this may actually be a software issue, possibly involving a conflict between the display drivers in the update and the display hardware shipped with certain iPhones.

If you have also noticed new stuck pixels after installing the 2.0.1 update, I'd love to hear that I'm not the only one seeing this. And, if you have somehow managed to resolve the issue, I'd love to know how you did it.
