[Q] Screen problem - not Yellow tint

---

Hello Everyone,

i bought my Xperia S two months ago. Unfortunately, i got couple of problems but more importantly a screen problem. The problem with the screen is that the colors were displayed differently. I noticed that the moment i turned on the phone the first time. Although i was using the blue theme, when i go to the Dailer or the system settings or other apps, the colors seem yellowish or maybe brownish they just felt wrong. I could see that clearly when i use my keyboard Swiftkey which i have been using since Xperia Arc. The theme colors of the keyboard are displayed different that what they were on the Xperia Arc. Anyways, i took my phone to the Sony service and repair and they fixed it, they told me that the screen problem was a software problem. i took the phone although i was not convinced that it was totally fixed even though the screen got much better. Later on i met my friend who just bought the Xperia S and when i saw his phone i could clearly see the difference. its hard to explain the difference in words but mine was more of yellowish or brownish and in other words the blue factor was not dominating specially with the theme. His phone screen is has more cool colors where mine was very worm. I don't know if this is part of the yellow tint problem they have been talking but keep in mind that i don't have yellow spots, its just that the colors are displayed differently very worm. I dont know if this is a software or hardware problem. Also another thing i noticed in the display is this weird shade in the colors in some areas on many apps i don't know if it is only me or all Xperia s phones but one thing for sure is that i dont see it on my mom's galaxy s2. i will post the picture down but unfortunately i cant post the pictures regarding the display colors issue because when i take a screenshot, the phone actually captures the actual colors of the system rather than what is displayed so i dont know how i am gonna show what i am talking about. i am thinking maybe i will take a picture of the screen using another phone if the pictures were clear and could show the problem.

Hi

First no need to feel bad or sad cause the screen problem youre describing is not a problem at all. Its called warm screen(or something like that). Its totally normal in high end device nowadays, go google some topic about some samsung device or htc or any high-end smart phone and you will see its common. As long as you dont see the yellow tint than there is no need to worry about. My xperia s got the same yellow-ish warm screen just like you(and a yellow gradient at the very bottom). and my sister got one thats appeared to be normal, or some people will describe them as "cool" screen.

And believe me there are many people who got the warm screen version, some just dont care about it some just cant tell or didnt notice at all

Its a hardware version thats normall causing this, go to dial and put in *#*#7378423#*#*
go to service info and check the firmware of your screen. It should be touch firmware 6,
This firmwre 6 is believed to be a revision after the yellow tint devices are reported
But it depends on your luck though, i know a lot of people got version 6 screen but has a normal white screen on their device

Hello buddy thank you so much, finally I know what the he was up with the screen now it makes sense. I can finally rest and not worry or feel that bad that I payed 600$ for thins phone although i prefer the cool screen. The I checked what your told me and it's the firmware version 6. Honestly I wanted to flash my phone to ics but I thought it's better to wait until it's done from the Sony repair Centre, and but after I read your comment I said "what the hell" I could live with that screen. So I didn't take it to the repair store. I instead, I I flashed my phone with ICS and I am lovvvinggg it, it's so delicious I can't spot tasting it. I and quess what..? The color shading problem that I talked about actually went away with the ICS update and I am grad it. I wanted to post screenshots of what I was talking about the but I keep getting error when uploading the pics so i uploaded the on drop box. I you can see the screenshots before and after. so ANYWAYS THANK YOU,

one more thing is that you can find some app to tune the overall color of the screen, like an app called adjust your screen, they have instruction of how to make your warm screen looking normal. I personally do like using the app although people say it consume battery, I haven't noticed any changes in the battery at all (I still get about 15-19hrs a day in average).

weird though the warm tone should not be changing in anyway even flashing or doing soft-toning of the phone cause its the hardware that is causing the problem, but like i said these color preference is always depends on people so I am glad you now feel oky for your screen like i do

I didn't mean the warm tone that was fixed. Oh god my English is bad. I I meant there was another problem other than the worm tone. I dont know how to explain it. I I wanted to post pictures but the forum is giving me errors both on my phone and my laptop I don't know why, but it says contact the administrator!! The forum doesn't even allow me to post the pictures from drop box I don't know why. The other problem I was talking about was related to how many apps on my phone show blurry or unclear shading. you won't understand until you see the pictures. I also I couldn't find the app yo were talking about, there is this app call Screen Adjuster, is this what you were talking about?
