Some Xperia S users complaining of yellow tint display issue

I don’t seem to have such issue

Yep mine has it.  Only noticable on a white background.  Don’t think I’ll be getting too fussed unless it gets worse.

|feel so sorry for people suffering this defect. Maybe the S stands Syria lol. 

Haven’t noticed it on mine but I do have a dead pixel. But you can only see it if you look for it thanks to the awesome resolution.

why do people complain about that? is their life so boring that they have no other problems apart from this, and cry about it?!
It’s not like ruining the picture when you view one. only when it becomes really noticeable and ruining the screen as a whole then you can complain about it, but you have to really see that there’s a problem, cor

my one does not have it so  at  least i dont see it 

dont have it on my s 

When i used  ”any do”…i saw it.    Damn it!!!!!

Have Xperia S, and saw another one and both have the yellow tint like the last picture!

yellowish at the bottom of the screen

 BECAUSE THEY PAID FOR IT!!

Got this exact problem on mine

 XB I dont think this should be allowed here.Keep it clean.

I used to have it quite heavy on my X10 from day one.

I have that on my Xperia arc, showed twice in the past few days, very random, don’t think it’s heat, ‘coz it’s seen summer already with me, I bought it in May last year, no idea what this is, a lot of people are complaining about it!

I have it

My have the yellowish spot at the bottom of the screen. Not really noticeable. Only noticeable when browsing the web and using twitter. 

I have that . But I guess is the heat causing it. I had tht comes up when charging and surfing the web for quite a while. But it goes away after the phone is cooled down

I noticed mine today, bad times all around!

I do notice a slight tint when i am using the market but other than that, my phone seems fine. 

Got my xperia s this morning, have been using it all day but can’t see any tint/ colour issues on white or dark backgrounds. 

Mine has it

becuase they are tech enthusiasts , why are you on this site? fool

I’ve got it too. I noticed it after browsing for a 30 minutes or so.
It seems like a weird place to have a heat issue as the phone gets hot at the upper end of the device and then only when playing games and other more demanding apps.

Maybe there’s less isolation at that place or something…

S stands for shitty.. Like you

I have the same exact problem. Still existing after 3 weeks of usage.

Hows your phone now? Is theyellowish tint still gone?

Has anyone reported this to Sony? Have they responded?

Hello Sony, I am getting same issue in bottom of screen like a yellow bar, kindly advise

http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/03/sony-xperia-s-yellow-tint-problem-limited-to-a-small-number-of-units/

There is an official reply from Sony on Gizmodos.Com. According to it its not a software issue and you should turn in your phone for repair/ replace it.

Finally a forum that has this problem! Thanks for the pics avex btw; sorry that you felt ripped off.
My phone screen also displays this problem. I was fuming about it but my provider has offered a rapid replacement. I hope the next one does not do this as I adore the phone but this problem is infuriating due to many people desiring the phone for the crisp display; the high quality makes defects stand out that much more!

My unit has this issue, O2UK are going to do a doorstep swap for a new one.  The problem occurs as the phone get s warm, it starts as a spot about 1 third of the screens width and is noticeably yellow (think urine in snow!). As the phone continues to warm up it spreads to be a frame around the entire screen.  

The problem I have now is that O2 can’t replace it at the moment as they are out of stock of this phone completely.  Its liveable with but when your phone costs near to the £400 mark you’d want it to work correctly (and sony are saying this is a hardware issue).  I’m happy to wait as it just appears that this phone is in great demand and this appears to be a manufacturing oversight that they are willing to rectify.  

The yellow tinted problem also occur on my xperia S. I have send the hp to the sony Ericsson’s service center. All they can promise is check my phone without even promise for changing the display screen. I am so disappointed with the Sony in Malaysia branched.Moreover, Sony claim the UV coated of the cover will repel dirt but it so obvious that the cover will turn to yellow and some of the stain are hardly to be removed!!! Again, i ask the people in service center. All they say is the cover not under warranty and very expensive if wan to change it…Sony design…i have no more good comment to this product… 

Not only at the bottom portion but also at the top. Try to open google, then view it in landscape and you’ll see a yellow tint or smudge like at the top of the screen. When you view it in landscape, then it should be at the left part of the screen.

Sony says just a little share of xperia has this issues but when i read your post i am in trouble about this issues
On a french blog we think if after 2/3 week this issues appear, what happen in 6 months??

How they fix it? will it be ok after that?

Be released from NTT DOCOMO of Japan, Xperia acroHD there is a yellow spot. Not long to buy, I want to replace it.

The yellow smudge burns my eyelids so now, I’m wearing dark glasses to protect my beautiful eyes. Hey, it’s one of my assets!

However, when I’ve red the whole documentation that came with the box, it says there that IT IS a product feature – and I quote “…..a yellow smudge will appear on the screen after 1 – 3 weeks use to remind anyone who bought our super ‘duper’ deluxe smart phone that it is equally a bloated junk like the ip4s by people from hell like in any typical marketing deparment. This is a reasonable ploy for neurotic, stupid, naive people brought upon in this world not because of love between their parents (but plainly because of libido). This is for those who think that having a cool expensive smartphone would improve their miserable lives when they could only heave a lonely sigh every night because they were born to suffer. So, thank you for your purchase!!!”, end quote.

Well, there you go. Can anyone post a cool place where I can download more stuff to ease the pain of living our miserable lives?

Toodle looh!

THIS JUST CAME THROUGH SO I’M CHECKING IT ON THEIR WEBSITE:

SONY WILL REPLACE ALL DEFECTIVE SCREENS WITH LIFETIME SUPPLY OF REMORSE AND PICTURES OF SMIRKS BY THEIR EXECUTIVES.

Hope Sony Malaysia Will Make Repair Of It ASAP!!!

Experiencing the yellow tint issue. Bottom screen. Also top screen very subtle discoloration. As dont have a warranty (but phone is in mint condition) i wonder if they will repair it, change screen or other. In Sweden they charge screen subtitution without warranty. Are there some consumer rights that apply here even if you dont have warranty? On another note, phone is perfect. 

I’ve had my Xperia S for just over a month and mine has developed the ‘yellow tint’ at the bottom of the screen. Also at the very top edges. Contacted Sony who said I have to send the phone to them for repair which meant I’d be without a phone for up to 2 and a half weeks! I’m not going through that so contacted Carphone Warehouse as thats where I got the phone and they have said to call in at any of there stores and they will do an express replacement….whatever that means! Fingers crossed they’ll sort it as I’ll be heading there tomorrow [18/5/2012]

hi, I have purchased my Xperia S a month ago (11 April 2012). initiall the screen did not show any sign of yellow tint or should i say it was so light i could not notice.  its a month now and it is very pominent. i had a talk with the customer care and they informed me that my phone cannot be exchanged as its 1 month and xchange can be done within 1 week of purchase
Q: where is this documented, nither the site nor the manual.
another question is if Sony is accepting that this is a manufacturing problem with some of the initial manufactured hand set, the sony should help its customer and xchange ther handset. (its just a month old).

Sony can contact me.

No yellowwish on my Xperia but my messaging touchscreen got problem on the day i buy it. So the next day i went back to the shop for a one to one back but they refused.they say the only thing i can do is get a repair for 7 to 14 day. i have a new handphone for first day and the next day i have a repair handphone. Is there anything thing i can do about it?

This annoying yellowish “stain” just appeared on my Xperia S’s screen today.

I’ve just noticed the problem on my Xperia S today. So, I’m not the only one with this problem then!!!

Have been without my phone now for two weeks. Keep being told that they are awaiting a part. The units should just be replaced. Had the initial batch as I had mine at the end of March.

i had this problem,,,i bought this mobile from america and i live in egypt..what can i do?? i went to agent in egypt and refuse to fix this problem..whta can i do

Hello, Im a new user of XS. I just bought this phone yesterday, and I just found out about this yellow tint now.

Reading LOTS of people complaining about this yellow tint, and Sony WON’T give any responsibility to people who already spent LOTS OF MONEY BUYING THIS DEFECT PRODUCT, I’m just thinking WTF is Sony thinking, releasing a product with factory defect like this? This phone is not cheap for God’s sake, and it’s a flagship too.

Geez, have you guys really lower your credibility into some shitty brand?

Anyway, it’s still a wonderful phone though

i have a problem i love my xperia u, while i capturing photos the blus spot is diplyed and i thought it to be ok but the same spot showed in my pictures when i take photos kindly help me please i realy get worried

Mine has yellow tint what should I do about it

I got it since the first day of my using. I feel disappointed with this problem too much. Any solution for this problem.?

Yes, my Xperia S is showing two of those spots one on the right and another one on the bottom of the screen, am in Egypt and I called the agent and will go check what to do tonight

same problem,what should I do

may i ask if this problem can be repair? how long it will take

Yes I have the yellow tint too looks horrid and even at 0% brightness. I I thought maybe screen burn but you can’t have screen at 100% as battery won’t last 5 mins lol. It seems to be where most functions are so maybe heat transfer or pressure? Any how great phone shocking battery with yellow tinge phone max 2 months old.

Well, I finally had time to take my Xperia to the o2 shop. They sent it away for repair and it came back two days later (nice fast turnaround, o2). The display is fixed and I’m happy with the phone. Just hope it stays fixed. But let’s face it, Sony should never have released this phone like this in the first place should they?

I bought my xperia a month ago,
but watching hd videos with a yellow tint, annoys me like hell.

My White Sony Xperia S also got the same issue. The Yellow tint. It’s annoying. I hope the company will solved this problem ASAP. Thx god

my sony xperia s the screen has all of a sudden died after 2 weeks of having it but can still receive calls whats going on?

My Xperia suffers from the same problem, it’s really annoying that yellow tint on the bottom screen, I would like to replace mine ASAP

Even my xperia s have yellow spot below and I want to change with a new one.and if the background is black the yellow become white…

I too suffered this problem after a month of using the phone.
Ive since had it replaced twice and about o recieve a third one all because of the same issue..

The phone seems to be very poorly designed, all that extra power from the dual core causes it to overheat. Ive never felt a phone get as hot as this does when using the screen for anything longer than 10 mins.
Major dissapointment after waiting so long for what looked like a very good phone.

my “yellow tint” is located across the bottom abouve the buttons and also in two places along the top precicly where the battery indicator and notifications display recomendations?

I have an xperia neo , same problem ……..

I sent mine in for repair. It was quick, only took a week. How ever they appear to have fixed my screen by making it all slightly yellow. It now looks like the phone of a heavy smoker.

I’m having yellow spots at bottom and slightly at right side bottom at display.. During browsing it can be recognized clearly… What I should do for this..

i have the same problem with sony xperia S my mobile is working but the screen is totally yellow can any body help me plz what should i do ??

ya i have the same problem..:( wht should i do??

Its either just totally froze up or the full screen goes yellow and then a black screen, all you can do is force close the phone as nothing works, do I goto sony or o2. Thank you

I am having the same issue with my Xperia s.. Whay should I do now??

he’s not a xperia s (or any) use … even if he has one, that might snatched from someone else… people like him should not worry… -_- cuz if such probs occur he can snatch another from other person…

Hi. Were there any reports of the same issue happening on Xperia U? I have one here and it’s just 4 months old. It is also having problems with the screen. Particularly with the tint thingy, I think it is also occurring on my screen everything I play games for like more than 15 minutes. It looks like a discoloration on the 4 corners of the screen. It is more like pink color rather than yellow on the xperia S as reported by users. It also happens after 15 minutes of browsing the net, on google play and playing videos. Any suggestion or any sort of help will be highly appreciated. thanks.
