Does anyone have a problem with their Atrix flashing a yellowish flash rather than a bright white when taking a picture or using it as a flashlight? I was wondering if it was just my phone that had a bad LED flash or if it's all Atrix..
Mine is yellow also.

mine is yellow but i'm more concerned about the flickering when on a flashlight app. warranty time if yours does the same.
I think the yellowish tint is intentional to mute the buttons. My Fascinate buttons were bright white and really drew attention. I like the muted off white color.
edit: I mis-read the thread and posted about the led backlit buttons, not the LED flash... my bad. However, there are threads about the yellowish buttons!
Yeah i prefer the yellow, i had the bright white on my nexus one and it always washed pictures out.
Yes my flash leds are yellow as well I think this is standard.
I honestly like more the yellow tint than the insane white of other phones. Gives a more natural color to the shots.
Hmmm good to know this seems to be standard. I took some test pics and looked very odd to me. Maybe it was a combo of the off screen colors and yellow flash..
My Atrix is yellow but my girlfriend's atrix is white... I will show pictures later if there is any interest...
So did anyone already found some dead pixels or subpixels, or yellowspots / stains in the screen.
Let us know here.

Lucky you, i have a "dead pixel", green one.
And a yellowspot in the rightbottom corner, but that'll fade over time. (i hope)
I'm glad that the screen has a very high resolution, it's really hard to even notice the dead pixel.
I have noticed a yellowish tinge at the bottom of the display. Only really notice it when there is a white background. Is it likely that the display is somehow faulty??

I have the exact same, a yellowish spot in the bottom right corner.
I hoped it was the same problem as the iphone or SGS2.
They say the yellowspot is from the glue that they use to stick the screenlayers together, but it needs time to vaporise and should go away over time.
But I have my phone now almost a week and i still get the spot back now and then.

Lol software problem :')
Sounds like bull**** to me.
I had contact with T-Mobile today, about the dead pixel and yellowspot.
The guy told me he's going to get information for me, and see if they can replace it. he'll send me an email later.
Same hear.
Barely visible yellowish (only on whites) at the bottom part of the screen.
It varies depending on the view angle.
Perfect screen here

Lucky you! I'm still waiting for update from Sony! Will see if they can replace the unit.
I also noticed that at times the yellowish spot disappears and appears back again! I wonder what it could be!!

Ah you are the guy from the T-Mobile forum (Hiraj) with 5 dead pixels.
Anyway they told me it's in stock again next week (Monday 19th)
Just noticed that my screen keeps flickering, this is more noticeable on white backgrounds, is this normal as in the auto brightness or should I be worried?

Hi guys just wanna update you regarding screen issues.
I've spoken with people on the forum of my country, other 2 guys with Xperia S and both of them got that really barely visible yellow tint on the bottom part of the screen (also, one of these guys has 2 Xperia S -him and his brother- and both of them have that tint).
Really difficult to explain it on forums (nothing compared to the GS2 yellow tint) because it's really hard to see and only visible on white/clear colors uniform backgrounds, but according to what I'm seeing it's a common issue, not a problem of a single faulty unit.
Got a blue/whiteisch pixel to the top right of my screen
They said i need to have more then 3 to get a new phone :/`
Can i fix this ?

I have the problem too. I called technical team dept from where i bought the phone, and they asked me to do a screen test over the phone. I tap the screen it shows all white, tap again red, green etc etc. He asked me if i could see a yellowish tinge running across the bottom of the display when these colours appeared on the display which i couldn't to be honest. I took it back to the shop, and i dont know if it has to do with the bright lighting within the store, but it didn't show up hardly at all, barely noticeable. It seems less noticeable in a well lit environment, or outside as opposed to when i am at home where it i notice it more. It is midly annoying, but this shouldn't be the case.
Can anyone throw any light as to what this could be??
Thanks

I believe that yellowish tint has something to do with warmth from the screen or the battery or the screen staying on for a longer time or something or something.
because when I'm using it alot, playing games, browsing, whatsapp etc etc. for like an hour. It gets more visible.
And then it's from "barely noticeable" to "hard to miss"
I can clearly see it on Grey (notification slide down) or Blue (startscreen DrawSomething) or White.

Same here. Interesting what you say. I would still like to know where the consumer stands on this issue, and if Sony themselves would recogonise if this is a somehow a fault with the display. My Arc had no such problems.
Hi guys,
I'm new here, but I was reading the threads on the S from the start.
Reading through the screen problems I was thinking about the following:
The Xperia S's screen is glued- as I know -, like for example the iPhone4/4s'. Some i4 users noticed this yellowish tint as well, and they've came to a conclusion it was because of the glue what was used to put the screens together and it disappeared after about 1,5-2 weeks.
This could explain the reaction to temperature differences too.
Hey guys, had a AAAB 12w11 with yellow gradient at the bottom of the screen (not the tint thing), switched to HTC One X that has tons of build problems, so I'm thinking on trying a ABAC 12w14 that the seller offered to me. Just wondering if anyone got this yellow gradient on the bottom of your Xperia S screen also refer what is your batch and week number.
thanks
There's a whole thread with this information.

I do know about the thread, I'm just trying to be more specific on the gradient problem instead of the tinting! Got it?
Mine is W17 which has some yellow gradient at the bottom of the display. All five handsets that I have had have had this to some degree. From what I have read this yellow gradient at the bottom of screen is quite normal.
Overall I am happy with the display on my XS, even though it has the yellow gradient.

And the most specific thing is to try it out.
Some got the tint, some dont. I got one of the problem numbers, and still, no problems here.
Haven't had the chance to send mine back, but it actually seems to be resolving itself.

what do you mean by yellow gradient ? can u show an example please ?
yep...I have it too...you can see very clear when typing a message on fb "messenger" (phone standing up). If the keyboard is down the line where you write is yellowish but it you touch that to type and keyboard goes up you can see the difference...the line where you write the message becomes clear white.
I also get the yellow spot if the phone heats too much but then it disappears after it cools down...so I'll not change it until it's more severe.
I have 12W10
I got the same, AAAB 12W11 touch 7
(not the yellow spots)
Same here, ABAB 12W16.
That's normal...

Looks like you are just using the gold or lime Xperia Theme.
Means your dock just changes color.
Has nothing to do with a defective screen or something.

Look at the video on my last post, i'm not talking about the theme glow on the dock!, I talking about yellow gradient on white backgrounds
Seem like nothing we can do about it but place the phone in the golden angle where the gradient is less appear.

Agree why would you even look at an angle at your own phone
Has anyone's S3 experience the same problem as I do?
It only appear in the white background, and easily notice there is a purple ink spot bottom of the screen.
Bought the device 10 days, didn't notice until just now LOL ><" Perhaps, just appear?
Well, is there any way can remove the ink spot?
I've tried did the colour test in *#0*# but it seems nothing wrong.
I'm Noob, please guide me. =D
same
same problem here !! and i think its growing over time .. as i attach the device to the charger !
so whats up with that samsung !!?
Purple fade at bottom of the screen
I just opened and have this problem, at the bottom of the screen mainly on white background it fades from purple to white and covers gives whats on the screen in the place a purple tint? Sending it back tomorrow to get a new one!
Hi,
When I am using the flash indoor and it is dark , my pictures have a blue tint. I can see it already when the flash starts, just before taking the picture, that my screen has a blue tint.
I have noticed that , if I don't use the flash indoor and it is dark, I still have a very very little bluish tint but negligible.
When I take a picture indoor , but it is bright, , and the flash is set to on ,my screen doesn't become bluish and I have a "normal" picture"
Any idea what to do?
Daniel
Hi,
could it be that the blue tint comes from the LED being kind of blue? Not to sound sarcastic, but I think this could be the answer to your problem. Because when you look at the LED when switched on, you will realize that it is not pure white, but just a little bit on the blue side, that's at least my impression...
Check the white balance option in the camera settings, it's probably set to daylight or something, change it to auto or flash. Obviously the latter if you are using flash at that moment in time.

No, it is not the white balance option because it is always set to auto.

Does the problem show if you transfer the photo's to your computer?

Thanks for your advice.
I have transfered the pictures to my PC and there is no blue when viewing the pictures on my PC.

I had a thought that if it wasn't the white balance then it might be whatever colour setting you have the phone's screen set to. Try changing the display mode to something else then view the photo's again.

Daniel
Settings -> Display -> Screen Mode
Try changing it from whatever it's currently on to something else, then check the photos again, repeat this with all the screen options. There could be a screen calibration problem with your phone on one of those settings.

Thanks but I have tried this already before and there is no difference between the 4 modes and the blue tint.
I think that my S3 has a little blue tint because I have compared it with a friend and there is a difference when viewing an application with a white background.
Daniel
Sounds like a faulty screen then, take it back and ask for a replacement.
And you are absolutely 100% sure your finger/thumb/whatever is absolutely no where near the flash? As that is by far the best explanation for this and common reason for this. Just check anyone on Facebook and look at their mobile uploads... You'll see lots of photos with blue tints and it's because people take photos with their fingers to close too the flash reflecting light back at the lens.

I am sure my figer is no where near the flash. And like I wrote earlier, on my
PC the pictures don't have a blue tint
yea ive tried all the above suggestions but it doesnt really work
the tint happens when there is another light somewhere in the picture

I find that is the issue for me also, I've noticed it happening when in a room with a TV on for example.
The GS3 has a hard time picking the right WB, it would be nice to have a WB setting for the cool White LED the flash uses.
Maybe a simple piece of scotch tape placed over the flash (with a light yellowish tint) will counteract with the blue tint.
I tried this with some painters maskingtape, the yellow paperbased tape. The pics aren't so blue anymore.
The only problem is finding the right yellow tint.
Maskingtape is a tad too thick and it interferes with the range of the flash.
ahh yes, my friend vs my sgs3, we did a flash light comparison. my i9300 version infact has a slight blue tint to it compared to his neutral tint (att version). I can confirm the blue tint is in fact a real thing

rosco swatchbook on amazon. just ordered the small one; i'll experiment and pick what works best on a neutral white sheet of paper. i'll cut it out and sandwich it between my phone and it's case right over the led.
ridiculous oversight on samsung's part not to white balance the flash's led. pisses me off that i have to resort to this on a flagship phone.

I am on yureka . i can easily confirm pic is bluish because flashlight is bluish. How to solve this. Some other camera app has two type of flash one tourch and other is default flash. Tourch light gives good pictures. How to make a tourch flash by default.
The bluish tint could possibly be how you perceive the image on the screen of the phone.
For example, I just took a photo on my i9300 and can clearly see that it is in the blue spectrum when comparing the photo on the i9300 against real life.
I sent the photo to my HTC M9 and on that screen it looks more like the original real life with no bluish tint.
Therefore I know the camera is good and taking colours correctly but my screen on my i9300 is what seems to be giving it the blue hue.
