Hey,
My phone can often get into a state where the graphics become very messed up, like shown in this video of somebody who has the same problem. It can not happen for a week or so, or can happen multiple times in a day.
It was originally an Orange locked phone, which I unblocked, followed by getting an unbranded ROM, and finally installing the official Dev Preview of the Mango build. I have had this issue since the unbranded ROM, though it could have been before, as I put the ROM on after a week.
Is the problem with the hardware, or is it something I could fix with a new ROM or the official Mango update?
Thanks for your time.
Do you have the latest firmware for your phone?

Think so. It says 7.10.7712.60 Mango Dev build.
But I had this before on NoDo and the one before that.
Thanks.
That is the OS version, not the firware.

Sorry, it's: 2250.09.12306.401
You could try applying the Mango firmware from the developer forum. Then you will get 2250.21.40600.401. It may or may not solve your issue.

Would I get this update with the official Mango update?
As far as I know: no.

I'm not sure but i thought that the yellow tint is a hardware issue and has nothing to do with software whatsoever.

I don't think someone will ever notice that you didn't install the official over the air update you were supposed to get.
And also, it's not like you unlocked the phone and installed a custom rom. It's still an official Sony rom.
I don't see any obvious reason why a repair center would check your firmware version. After all it's a known issue and the solution to the problem is there.
And no, i don't have a backup image or so of my stock firmware.
There was a post here on xda with all GB tft files and there was a Belgium one.
Just search for that post, I can't seem to find it anymore tho

I'm quite sure they won't bother
I think of it like this, your phone arrives at the repair center. The person who has to repair it reads what is wrong with it. He then says: "Ah, i see, the yellow tint issue. Time to get to work, but not without checking the software version first".
It's a very unlikely scenario if you ask me. He's just going to fix the screen, check if it still works completely and maybe do some additional tests in the service menu or so.
But you could indeed just do what Hitmax117 mentioned, just to be sure.

Quite some time ago I rooted my S2 to get it unlocked. I then shortly after unrooted and flash ICS onto it when it was first due to be released. Ever since it does not ever find any updates.
Can anyone help with why this may be?
whin ics was firsted released from this site was never considered official, just leaked firmware. OTA updater will not recognize leaked software it is not stock, it was modified slightly.
You would need to find a stock ics which was releaed about mid 2012. Flash that and OTA should work.

Hello all,
Since OTA updates are beginning to be pushed out, I think this issue might deserve its own thread outside of the development thread.
Has anyone received OTA updates after they've flashed their phone to a different ROM over the original ROM?
I'm currently on my original RM-821_Polkomtel_Poland_VAR242600_v2_6_Black (059R079) ROM. I would like to flash it to an unbranded German or UK ROM, but I'm afraid that might prevent OTA updates.
Thanks in advance.

Flashing a ROM from a different product code does not affect the delivery of OTA updates. OTA updates will then be based on the newly installed ROM. Meaning if you flash unbranded German ROM you will get unbranded German ROM OTA updates

yup, I can confirm it because a few days back when I flashed the german Vodafone pre-portico rom, I got the german portico update. Was originally using EE UK firmware and flashing around to see which firmware is the most stable .
P.S: I later flashed back to EE firmware and also got the EE portico update, so flashing different ROMs does not screw up the OTA system.

You are a life saver.
So in the event that my phone needs to be repaired under warranty, will Nokia be able to tell that I've flashed my phone if I flash it back to my Polish ROM?

Not a problem : ) I just hope there isn't some sort of "flash counter" or something. I had an HTC HD2 and I was used to flashing all sorts of stuff on it. The Devs made it so that it was possible to return the phone to factory condition just in case.

+1, I flashed a few Roms then flashed pre portico EE rom and straight away found ota portico update. Have since gone back to CV_GB unbranded rom but still no portico update.
The only problem when you flash other ROM is that every time you backup your phone, it will show you the backup process, but really will not save the setting and app installed and every time you want to restore your phone, you may need to install and setup everything manually unless you have the original product code install in your phone. 100 %Tested.

Oh okay, I don't use the backup anyway except for text messaging. Is it safe to assume that text messaging will not be backed up as well?

I can't receive anything
strange, text messaging backup works even if I flash another rom (different product code). After restore, all my stuff is inside as usual...
the sms backup is not device specific.... it's synced with your live account...
I have the WP8's and all the SMS from both phone numbers are synced to both phones....
Hi,
I've noticed the issue and it started to annoy me
When I get the phone to landscape position it does not auto-rotate.
It was working previously, but I don't know when exactly it stopped and what could cause it.
I have tried to restart the phone, to wipe the cache partition, to restore factory settings - nothing helped.
Is this known issue or should I ask for service and hardware repair?
It's happening with my Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 8.0.0.146(C461).

Until now it's just you who reported the issue here, a few questions before you go for service repair:
Since when do you have your phone?
Did it fell sometimes?
Are you using a custom ROM or the original one from Huawei?
And of course I had to ask even though it's obvious, do you have auto-rotate option ON or OFF?

Let's answer one by one
I've purchased it brand new one month ago (9-Nov-18).
It never fell nor bumped hard.
I'm using original Huawei ROM.
Auto-rotate is ON, of course

Good morning
I have some news for you, there is a current problem with also a person with problems on the compass (sensor for rotation) @Rondrey, and I can see your versions are the same.
So before you guys send your phone to warranty I suggest the following:
Either downgrade to the previous version of the EMUI or wait for another update from OTA.
To install or downgrade official software please look into this thread/guide by @kilroystyx:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/rom-official-emui-8-0-huawei-p20-lite-t3773999
So either you guys wait for the latest update 8.0.0.147 on build C461 of your country and see if it fixes it or downgrade to 8.0.0.145 or 8.0.0.144 using a dload package (step 7 of the guide of kilroystyx).
Kindly,

it happened after an official EMUI Update to latest UI. And I have seen multiple communities even huawie people have no solution people just change the device and stopped updating it.

Should be fixable by software, it's Huawei's fault obviously altough right now, the only thing you can do to make it work is either having a custom ROM to see if works alright which it should if it doesn't try custom kernels and check if it works out
Else you need to downgrade to a version which was working before.
