For everyone experiencing the yellow tint issue who either don't want to or can't service their handset for whatever reason, try this as a temporary measure. Works for me.

The yellow tint doesn't bother me enough to want to send it in but the tint sometimes becomes distracting enough to irritate me. Especially so when reading off the browser or an ebook reader. This app allows me to apply a filter to the screen and I've managed to adjust the color to a point where the tint becomes barely visible. The link is to the free version but there's an ad free version as well. Just play with the settings and see what works for you. I'd expect everyone experiencing the issue to require different settings to mask the imperfections.
Hope this helps some of you out there.

The .73 firmware should fix the screen color temperature issue. They made it less warm in terms of color.
Yup. I saw your mention on the other thread but I'm already on. 73 and it's still yellow. Good to know that Sony's taking measures though.

Actually, I am noticing the yellow tint since I installed .73..
What regiion .73 do you have?
One of trickes I use that my friend here told me is massaging that part of the screen and yellow tint goes away. I have found this to be temporary but works better than the rest.

Yeah, I just updated mine to .73 too, color still looks the same. Don't see a difference in temp. It was from Asia's firmware note. Anyone tried the SG? I'm on US firmware, so nothing from here. I do see a much better response on the buttons though. Mine had a little lag before, but now it's instant.

Well I know where to look at and how to test lol several times had that one over 40 degrees Celsius
So, I think you guys are much more lucky than me. I am in Viet Nam, and I bought XPS in Hong Kong. Now I saw yellow tints but can't go to Hong Kong to change it nor I think Sony Viet Nam would repair it for me. That's bored of such a big company like Sony. It's their fault of manufacture and lot of people have the same issue, they should replace or repair it with global warranty not only specific region though

Hi. I think screen shots won't be necessary as my settings are pretty straightforward. Under "color", I set all 3 bars close to the left so I get a dark gray. For "alpha", my bar is on the left - somewhere between a third or a quarter of the way. FYI, I keep the filter on all the time. My (system) screen brightness is set to about 77 when I'm outdoors.
Do play around with the levels till you're satisfied though. I don't think a one-size-fits-all configuration is possible.

Hi guys,
Can please somebody test for me if have similar issue as me...
I noticed that the grey on SGS2 suffers a lot in quality... more visible on reduced light.
I did create a file in Photoshop with fixed grey value.. as you can see from the screenshot attached sgs2 goes more magenta instead of grey+ plus there is a lot of noise too around this value R 100 G 100 B 100
As far as i know the grey is the most difficult color to display because needs to use all 3 leds in the same time...
Anyhow pls let me know if u also have distorted results as me!
Thank you
Yeah, my icons definitely look darker and has a redder tint to them side by side with the SGS. I've been informed that it has to do with Gingerbread as well, about how Gingerbread hosed up the colors.
I have exactly the same problem. All greys look pink / magenta. I am right now trying to replace my unit because of it.

the file test it is in a zip file, you need winzip or winrar to extract the file, after that you can copy to your device and view it...
Also, i made the test on another sgs2 device and they grey is as is supposed to be...
Do we think is a software or hardware problem this is the question?

I hate to say it but I suspect it's a hardware fault with some individual panels, although whether Samsung would view it as a fault is another matter. These screens are incredibly difficult to make and almost impossible to make every one identically, so it's inevitable some will be less than perfect even if that imperfection is only noticeable in certain circumstances (a grey screen in this case). There is another thread on here with someone having a yellowish hue line down the left of their screen when the screen is a certain colour -- another example of a similar issue.
Found it. Check the post out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13861159&postcount=12
if that is the case, a lot of devices will go back... first sgs software was horrible, now sgs2 hardware? damn it samgung u`ve done it again!
Yep, nothing wrong with mine either using that greyscale test image.
Imagine its a bad batch of SGS2's out there somewhere.
Mine is grey, like the SGS pic in the Op I know what teh pink looks like as my Desire AMOLED version was pinked

I'm not sure you are referring to the issue that made the screen gradually faded to a lighter color on one side, that was a software issue fixed on recent ROM releases.

you know what they say thou beauty is in the eye of the beholder , so im guessing most people either a don’t notice it , or b simply live with it.
I showed my first phone which was quite bad to numerous people some people spotted it straight away and was shocked like me, others didn’t but did notice it when pointed out, but said they could live with it on another note they all noticed the pink spot instantly anyhow .....
I’ve had 2 now both from different batches and awaiting third tomorrow ive checked the device out in numerous shops and they all had it to various degrees along with smear / ghosting text (which not many people seem to complain about). Reminds me of when Sony released there flagship tv the x3500 followed by the led version the x4500 both of these flagship tvs had smear / ghosting. This was acknowledged as a draw back of that technology as the panel needed to warm up.
However Samsung haven’t said anything in relation to this i.e. if its a fault or a drawback with the technology which leaves most people who are unhappy with there device swapping it endlessly looking for a perfect / working model free from yellow tint or pink spot when in reality there is no such device.
thanks bcoz of ur replays.
but today i c one of my friends that have sgs2 and they sgs2 have not this issue )
i root and install cm7,criscelo,Villain,litening but i never c yellow issue in left side
NOW I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW SGS2 WITH OK LED :d

You can replace the screen a million times, the software is the culprit... the issue has been fixed by Samsung. They adjusted the screen sensors to distribute evenly the light intensity.
Fun test for yawl... If you find the "tint" noticeable... Go to display settings, turn OFF the option that says "Auto adjust screen power"
viola.
No more tint.
however, only a true black pixel is "off" now, and battery might suffer, I haven't played too much with it, but I noticed it.
It is a software issue, but the reason some people see it more often than others, is simply the color of the images and text that they display on their screen more often. OLED will always have "warmer" tones than a standard LCD, you can tweak the software to cool them, but they are noted for VIVID color, not accurate color

Alright I found a fix for the Black Crush Problem.
Note these steps are just how I stumbled upon the fix. I'm not guaranteeing it would fix your Black crush but it fixed mine. I listed everything I did before it was fixed.
This is for you to Re-Enact It's not a guarantee.
WHAT IS BLACK CRUSH?
Watch this video for an example:Click Me
Explanation: It's when our phone can not display the black levels correctly resulting in clipping where there would be shadows, grey areas, dark areas, etc.
To Test if You Have Black Crush/Clipping
Watch This Video:Click Me To Watch
The most notable part if you have Black crush begins at 0:11
If there's no Black Crush/Clipping you're straight. If not try this out then test it again afterwards.
I know YouTube isn't what causes the black crush. I'm just listing what I had expereinced so you may re-enact it and hopefully reach the same solution I have.
On CMW Recovery Update your rom to
"[Rom]~[UCLF5]~TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION|06/28|SGSIII|S Voice|Fast|Spiced UP RC1"
Click Me
Now Follow the Instruction to Update to that rom by every detail.
Update to RC1 Non Flash after Successfully Booting the rom.
Youtube should be broken (At least mine was) Uninstall with Titanium Back-up
Uninstall Launcher with Titanium back up
Boot into CMW Recovery and clear Dalvick Cache and Fix permissions
Reboot
Re-install Youtube
When You reboot It should say "Optimizing Android 1/140" and it'll boot up normally.
After that black crush should be fixed. Test it with YouTube or any of your Pictures that had Black Crush on it before.

Nahhh, my youtube was just broken I just included every detail that I could so that you guys could re-enact my actions. I re-installed youtube right after.
So, I've noticed I even get major distortion in the black borders of some trailers like these two from Iron Man 2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNQowwwwYa0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siQgD9qOhRs
It's like there's some crazy static in the borders. Is everyone experiencing this, or did I just get a particularly bad one?

Black Crush/Clipping
Black crush/clipping can not be fixed. No one is even sure what causes the issue (is it software or hardware?), Samsung denies it even exists, the level of black crush/clipping varies on different Galaxy Notes, and there are some people who claim their Notes are perfect and show no signs of black crush/clipping at all. All Devs that were working on this Issue have given up, the closest thing to a fix they could come up with was moving the clipping point from between 0/1 to between 6/7 on ICS.

I hate to be that guy but, if the yellow band was not fixed with the new cooler color temp added to the update, then all is pointing towards hardware not software. Opo's screens are bottom lit. Which means that the screen is illuminated from the bottom, up. If the glue or sealant was not applied appropriately, the screen and the glass won't seal correctly it creates the yellow band because the light is going in-between and going through the glue which is yellow. Thus creating the yellow band. Software could only do so much. It is a good idea though.

I don't think that the goal is to completely get rid of the yellow band, which just seems like it is not possible, but to reduce the amount of yellow tinting within a select area of the screen by countering the yellow with a gradient blue tint at the bottom. It seems like it could help if done right, which will definitely take some testing to nail the correct hue, gradient size, strength, etc.

Hi ...I got Xperia X (f5122) few days back & on the second day I noticed a weird light on the screen of my phone .There are two large spots at the bottom where the gaps are.I am attaching pictures here.
This is very frustrating and distractive even in daylight I can see this light coming off screen .Notice the area where the ' Back ' & 'recent ' keys are.
I haven't see this kind of light bleed on my previous Sony devices.This is easily noticeable even i don't look at it & execpt it's on 10 % or lower brightness.
May I request anyone from SONY to confirm this as manfacture defect or some issue with my device as this isn't a standard of a product ?
And anybody elese facing this issue please attach your pictures and do tell whether your Xperia X has it or not?
It will be very useful to me.

Are you sure this is bleed? Reminds me a lot of some pressure marks I got on my laptop lcd. And it's definitely a defect it seems like noone else has this issue. Did you in fact ever put excessive pressure on the phone?

Excessive pressure ! Hell no! 1st day I got the device ;it was sealed pack ,set the device through setup guide ,charged it to 100% .and made sure that wifi was working because I need that and one 2nd day in morning I started disabling pre-installed apps and I noticed this.
I had atleast 9 Sony devices before & I don't remember having this issue.
Thanks for quick reply.
I am just curious because bleed is ( or whatever it is ) exact on back and recent key and they look organized ! lol ! So want to confirm from XPERIA X users do they have it on exact same spot.?
I am getting your point but do you have Xperia X & can you post a picture of it?
Set brightness 80% or more then dial *#*#7378423#*#* on phonepad -go to service test-display-click until u get black screen.Notice & post a picture if you can.

I have already ran the test, I can 100% assure you noone has this problem my screen is fluent no flaws, also from YouTube videos noone has this problem. Very weird. Wait some time maybe someone replies to you with a similar problem, but it's very unlikely

My XX doesn't show this either. I'd return to the shop and get another if I were you.

Can anyone post a picture even if they have not this issue.
please follow this and post a picture .
1) Disable adaptive brightness
2)Set brightness to 100%
3)Dial #*#*7378423#*#* on phone dial
4)Go to ' SERVICE TEST " - DISPLAY -click screen until you get black one and see if there are unusual lights coming out from anywhere .
Post a pic here ,please it would be helpful to me.
DON'T DO THIS ON DEFAULT OR CURRENT BRIGHTNESS WHICH YOU HAVE ; INSTEAD SET IT TO 100%. THEN DO THIS .

By replacement unit you mean new phone or new screen? I own the white/silver version, single sim.

I mean new phone.The reason I required to post you to a picture or video because that's way I can show service centre guy that this is defect with this or this batch & I need a proper one.
Please get a camera and post a picture a video! ( and please do on 100% brightness on black background)
Can anyone help me who don't have this issue?
you can send me a message on [email protected]

woah, that's messed up. How can this be..

Hi ...I got Xperia X (f5122) few days back & on the second day I noticed a weird light on the screen of my phone .There are two large spots at the bottom where the gaps are.I am attaching pictures here.
This is very frustrating and distractive even in daylight I can see this light coming off screen .Notice the area where the ' Back ' & 'recent ' keys are.
I haven't see this kind of light bleed on my previous Sony devices.This is easily noticeable even i don't look at it & execpt it's on 10 % or lower brightness.
May I request anyone from SONY to confirm this as manfacture defect or some issue with my device as this isn't a standard of a product ?
And anybody elese facing this issue please attach your pictures and do tell whether your Xperia X has it or not?
It will be very useful to me.
