Yellow tint. Will they change my phone or just repair it? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
After 6 months I'm getting a huge yellow tint on the left side of the screen.
I know this is a normal problem with the phone, but I've got it on steroids.
Even my white clock widget is really yellow on one side.
I've tried flashing different roms etc but nothing works..
Do you think that if I go to a support center, will they change my phone with a new one or just send it to repair?

After 6 months they wont supply you with a new phone it will be off to the repair centre. Where it will probably come back "fixed"
Ricey

update to the latest 2.3.6 rom, it solved the problem in mine.

take it to the repair centre to change your screen unless it's a software issue

[Q] HTC HD2 screen has become yellowish

Hi,
My HTC is giving me problems. The screen has become yellowish.
Earlier the screen used to become yellowish for 5-10 mins and it used to occur in two weeks or so. But now the phone has permanently become yellowish. I am also attaching a picture along with this thread. As you can see, the areas in the pic which are bluish is showing the true color of the background. Rest of the screen is all yellowish.
Can someone help me with this problem.
Best regards,
MOhit Goyal
Looks like a faulty contact from your Motherboard to your screen (bad connector, bad flex-strip or something like that)
IMO you need to send it in for repairs.
I have had the same with my p3300, but was able to fix it myself (connector was not completely pressed down, had come loose)
Hardware problem?
Do you think this is a hardware problem?
Why I doubt that is because:-
1. Whenever I touch any place on the screen for opening an application, the area shows the actual color, but if I just touch the screen the colours doesn't change.
2. Usually the phone starts displaying the correct colours after a restart
Should I take chances and reset my phone or something?
I'm having the exact same problem every now & then (often occurs when I keep the phone in my jeanspocket) A light tap on the screen often helps. Had it in for repairs earlier, but they only re-flashed it (!) So the problem is not solved
What to do now?
I am not able to play any game. I hate looking at my phone. It makes me so angry.
How do I get it fixed. Its the fourth consecutive day with the wrong colours.
Someone please help.
Performed a hard reset but still not working properly
This is not happening. I performed a hard reset thinking that it might just work but it did not.
Can someone please help me here.
Of course it is a hardware fault. Send it in for repair - or repair it yourself
I think is a virus or something else, because has happened to many people lately.
I also had the issue as pictured above.....and exactly as described in the first post.
It began to occur about three weeks....and gradually was getting worse.
Its getting worse
Again I am doubtful that its a hardware problem.
Now, I am not even able to open anything on my phone. I keep getting thrown back to the main screen. No matter what I open, what application I am using, it just keeps throwing me back to the main menu.
In addition to that, even when I am not using the phone, it just keeps flashing. I lock it and the screen turns on again. Its like the phone is getting used every second.
I think its a virus. Does anyone know any anti virus solutions for HTC HD2?
Thanks,
Mohit Goyal
i got exactly the same problem - check my photos here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716002&page=2
i donth think it is a virus - why? - becase if it so the virus should go when you reflash the rom or flash a new rom - i douubt also about the virus but when install new rom the color issue still existig.
i sent my device to the dealer for repair and i will apdate you about the real reason when i got the answer from the dealer.
however, the same issue happened before to one of my friends and the device was out of warantee - he took it to a repair shop and they told him it is a kind of default in the mother board.
this time we will get dealer answer so lets wait.
thanks
a member in other forum advised me to use the attached cab which solve a similar issue in Blackstone.
but it is too late for me because i returned the device to the dealer
however- other member faced a similar issue and the dealer told him it a default in the motherboard.
Send in for repair......

Listen to the others... You need to send phone in for repair... My phone use to flicker on and off to the point where I couldn't call or use.... I sent to be repaired and they replaced the mother board, but didn't fix my other problems (phone will not turn off and when u put in battery phone turns on on it's own)..... I would send in for repair.......................
htc contacted me an inform me that the reason was the motherboard
yea its the motherboard isue i droped mind and d screen has changd its colour to yelow blue and sometimes wnt wake up aftr remvng 4m poket.gave it htc repair center they said a socket or conector has a problm whch cnt be repaired and so mothrboard needs to b changed.motherboard cost 8000rupees/190dolars whch is **** expensive for repairing
I had this same problem and read on some other forum that you're supposed to "flex" the phone. So I bended my phone a little (the top and bottom backwards, be careful the screen also has glass in it) to try to get a bit of a curve in it and by god ...it worked!!!!! The screen flickered and then the yellow screen was gone!!! I'm so glad because I mailed Htc two days earlier and I still don't have a response from them. I hope it works for you
Just to confirm... The same thing happen to me its either (A) the cable from MOBO to Screen came loose usually by flexing or bending the phone which can happen in someones pocket. (B) the cable connector came loose by same methods (C) MOBO went bad usually by same methods. Either way one should it in for repairs or crack it open and see for your self.
I got same problem before, it happened when the screen is moist. it looks like there is an absorbent layer behind the screen which got damped. try drying it.....found article to contained the unit in a seal container with rice overnite for drying electronic gadgets, and see the result.remember to take off the battery. good luck.

[Q] Help Please With My Screen :( i9100

Hi,
I dropped my Galaxy S2 Yesterday (have no idea if this relates to it) But i plugged it into the charger this morning and everything was blue & some of the screen had turned black and some icons had burnt into the screen it looked like.
After taking it with me because it was still usable, Its not completely black except for maybe the faintest part of blue.
Im running Lite'ning rom, The newest one im pretty sure.
Just wondering if this is a virus? Or the screen is dead. I just cant see how it could suddenly die when it was flat and not turned on.
Phones not under warranty by the way. So maybe you could give me some options?
Thanks heaps guys
Probably the problem is hardware related due to the fall, but you could back all your data and try to do a factory reset to see if it fixes or not. If it doesn't fix maybe you should check your screen hardware.
Thanks for the reply,
I just reflashed Litening with Odin 1.85 and still nothing, I get the vibrations, touch lights, sound ect, But only occasionally a tiny little strip of blue along the top.
How would i check my screen hardware? Because i pulled apart my galaxy s after it died and accidently cracked the screen & Glass
How would i do a factory reset by the way? Since i cant see anything
I'd imagine it's dead. I'd take it to your local store and ask for an estimate on how much it would cost to fix it. If you can't see anything, then the screen is either broken or it got disconnected (or maybe some of the ribbons did at least).
Yeah, I just dont really wanna take the phone apart unless i know its likley to fix it.
When i first got it, I noticed it had black splotches on the screen in very dim light on a white background. Nd im guessing id have to almost buy a whole front screen assembly to replace the front screen D:.
Would i be better just to sell the phone how it is? Or repair it?

[Q]How to get rid of a stuck pixel? Xperia Ray

I've got a blue stuck pixel at the bottom right of my phone screen :S I've tried unstick it by flashing different colours off and on, however I am still unable to get rid of it. Any other way?
Try to update/repair the software and see if it helps. If it's still there after this I don't know any other way than to have it fixed at a service center. One broken pixel is however not covered by the warranty so it would come with a cost unfortunately.

In case that software update is useless to help:
If you still have warrenty - then contact the SE service center or shop )
if you don't scare of everything then disassemble the phone
and gently massage the pixel with something soft (eg. Wadded stick)

lol it looks like you're talking of G spot
the way of curing stuck pixels on lsd screens is like this
but much more gentle on mobile devices
on my desctop monitor i use to do it rude and with my finger
damn LSD screens,, G-spots..
I meant LCD

SGS III Screen turn to green

Hi Guys,..
my friend bought a Galaxy siii last week , and he dropped his SGS iii accidentally, not single scratch but the screen turned to green ,....

here is the image that prove that .

tell him to return it back to the shop he got it from for repair or replacement
It's not software bug, I'm pretty sure.
Something broken inside, and it'll be great if they don't need to replace the dispaly, because it's a bit too expensive.
This happened to my old Samsung phone. *Not an S3* Just had to open it back up and one of those weird square thingys for the display was partially on.
Definitely seems to be a hardware prob, maybe the display got damaged. Only option is to return to the shop for repair, or if lucky a replacement .

Yellow spot on display near on off switch

Does anyone have this problem? I get it from 2 days without any fall down or else. There is a yellow spot close to on off switch. On italian fb group there is somebody else that had this kind of trouble. I would try to fix it without send the phone at repair center, but i think need to disassembly it completely. Attacched there is the picture.
I think you have to send your honor 9 at Huawei's repair center if you don't want to invalidate the warranty.....
Display problem. I have the same issue on h8, they replaced my phone.
I know this is a display problem...
