Hello all,
This evening I was playing on my SXS until the yellow tint started to annoy me. I started pressing the screen on the visible areas and noticed that they are fading away. I kept pressing the screen and now the yellow tint is gone in all areas. I even asked other other people and they said the tint is gone. Now let's wait and see if it will return.
P.S. Don't press too hard or you'll break your screen

When I tried this originally it soon came back. Pressing the screen will not solve issue!
This solution has been already posted by someone here.
It goes away & then it comes back...
Thanks for the replys. I didn't see the solution here. I'll keep repeating the procedure a couple of times and see what happens.

Just a question (off topic), I remember a guy named XeqtR from the team -GFE- who plays Crysis (a long time ago). Wonder if that's you.
Regarding the other post, I guess it was deleted by an Admin
pressing didn't help. my tint eventually became permanent and pressing didn't take it away anymore.
Try and figure out a better solution.
I'm not that XeqtR . Until now there is no tint. I'll keep updating the thread. I know it's a long shot but there is nothing else I could do...

The tint came back... The screen hasn't been on more than 2 hours since and it is the same. I'll try to get it replaced...

The only fix is replacement and confirmed by Sony itself, I'm on my second brand new phone and happy now

I just got an Xperia Active Billabong Edition today. My problem is that the lower right screen is bleeding. It's not the screen itself. It's actually the blacklight of the capacitive "menu" button. When I set the screen timeout to 2 mins and the capacitive buttons shut off before the screen does, there's no light bleed. Anyone else with this problem?
Yea i got the same issue. I have persuaded myself not to look on the bottom right corner
I think its a manufacturer error...

Thank god. I feel better now that I'm not the only one. Which active do you have?

i have same thing......does not bother me at all.......
Same error here.
Newly aquired Xperia Active with bleeding light in lower right corner, and it really annoys me.
That an the fact that the phone sometimes, without reason, goes into a vibrating spasm which usually do not last longer than a minute.
And sometimes the phone looses connection with the SIM-card, and I have to turn the phone off, and the on again to be able to connect to my carrier.
So it's a common problem? I think it's a manufacturing defect.

Anyone else experiencing this? My seller said his last unit also has this light leak.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I see the same thing. I just decided not to care
Me too on st15i
I also have the vibra-spasms
I didnt have them on CM7 tho. I think its Kernel related more than anything,
Same for me - don´t think about .............
BTW - it´s a famous fone and really water resitent - i tried this out yesterday.
That's just terrible quality control! It's alarming.
Strange thing is people aren't bothered by the inferior quality of their products.

I've been checking for light bleeding on a couple of active's but I can't see any. Do you guys have any picture of your light bleeding's? I'm interested too see it myself.

It's quite hard to capture it on photo but it's on the lower right. It's caused by the capacitive buttons light leaking on the LCD.
It's very visible at night specially on a black screen or just when you unlock unlock phone using the power button from sleep.

I saw that you made a thread about this on my "home" forum as well.
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/25624#
It's updated.
Hey,
have you ever tried to use the app "Screen Filter"?
The app should allow you to turn off the backlight of the softkeys!
Can anyone check if its working with the Xperia Active?
Let me know please... i dont have the phone, but maybe soon i have...
Same Here, i think what happend on my active
Please can anyone check if the "Screen Filter" app works on the xperia active?
There you can choose "disable softkey backlight". With this option the effect dont appear anymore...
please advice
Screen filter and unselect "Enable soft key backlight" works well. Soft key backlight is disabled, also when unlocking the phone.
The disadvantage being that in a dark room, you'll now have to "know" where each of the three soft buttons is (which probably isn't a problem if it's your phone and you're used to using it).
Thanks a lot! Happy to hear that...
Is there a possibility to autostart Screen Filter or have you to start the app manually after a reboot?
Thanks a lot again

I have a 12w09 AAAC without any issues on the screen.
Would you please report back if your AAAC 12w11 has any problems?
Thanks!
AAAB 12w11 without any problem (using since 7 Days)
I don't even know how a phone with this problem looks...
Mine is just perfect and I have nothing to complain about the phone.
From the battery to the screen everything is perfect.
I loved my old Desired HD but I do not miss him.
12W10 with yellow spots and light leak! It gets worse over time I think...
I have 12w10 with perfect screen
Just to mention, you have to make your phone get HOT in most cases (35 celsius and more) to see the spots and light leaks! Then just pull down the notification bar and see the lower part, if there is yellow tint you will notice it!

Yep had that with my first one was really bad with yellow burn circle at top right corner and a yellow spot at the bottom around 40 degrees Celcius I had it along the left and right edge too... 12W09
Now the replacement is fine still testing 12W11
Hello guys, now its been almost a week since i've had my s3 but yesterday night before going to sleep, i just unlocked my phone in pitch black darkness and what i saw was white light originating from the left capacitive key extending to the screen which looked really bad like a screen burn or some kind of weird white patch on the screen as if i've cracked it, and if it were from both keys i cud have convinced myself that its normal but its only the left key! and its not at all noticable even in a little light and if your screen is not using a dark black background.. so what do you guys suggest me to do? can you guys check your phones in a fully dark room with black blackground and touch keys lit up?? and will my warranty consider this an issue and cover it? i feel so bad right now :/
I'll check later tonight, but I generally have those lights permanently off since my S2 as the intermittent on/off at every screen touch is an annoyance particularly when watching videos
I would suggest turning them off, the buttons are easy enough to find in the dark plus you save a little bit of battery.

Yep right its leaking, turn mine off ALWAYS plus its better looking when turned off
i dont know how but getting to know that the rest of you have it, i feel fine now and as most of you said, i'll turn them off, thanks
how do you turn them off?

i dont have it and i also turn off those capacitive lights. either you have to live with or go far an exchange.
You sure?
Are you sure?
It can only be seen in a dark room and with a black background on the phone.
I dont like having flaws on my new stuff. I am gonna try to exchange it.

I went to the dealer and they said that they would send it to the shop to check if it really had a failure, and if it had a hardware failure they would exchange it in one week!!!!!!!!!!! i will just stay with my phone as it is. It is more possible they will really screw it on the shop with something really bad to worry about, and I bet that the next one will have the same flaw or another even worst, so I prefer to stay with mine.
hi all i own the white version and i notice that when i am in a dark place and the lights of the back buttons is on its kind of splash to the screen...
since then i disable this function and turned the lights off at all time.
i just wanted to know if that a known thing or is it just a problem in my phone...
If you mean you can see light through the phone, then all white phones do that. The blue doesn't. But not sure if it goes all the way and affect the screen.

So recently my z ultra has been acting up there's a single black line that flickers across the screen at time and then the screen turns sort of white and whatever image is on the screen at the time of this happening stays there if you scroll to another home screen or open an app it eventually goes away if you turn the screen on and off multiple times but then it happens again sooner or later......i will upload pics or a video later to give you guys a better idea on what im talking about

If the screen is not all white then you have LCD problem.
If all white that's mean your LCD is good,maybe try flash another ROM or factory reset.

Sounds like you're having the same problem as me. You only have a single line though, while 2/3 of my display is like this. Mine gets like this whenever it's a little under room temperature, and it's a hardware defect according to Sony.
Post some pictures though. It could be software related (if you're lucky).

My XZU has this 1x1 cms 'purple cloud' at top mid center of screen all the time. I see it at the phone boot animation also. Its not captured on screen. So I guess its an LCD burn mark
Its visible only at medium and high brightness on a black background. Not on white background.

Just checked out your video, and i'm having this issue too. That's called "ghosting", and that means that the response time of the screen has gone to hell. The issue gets triggered on mine when the temperature drops a little.
Try this:
- Is it functioning normally in room temperature? If yes, put the phone in your refrigerator for 2-3 minutes and see if it's still functioning properly. If not, well.. then you're having the same issue as me, and i've talked to Sony, and it's a hardware defect and you'll have to use your warrenty and get a new screen. I sent mine in for repairs today, so i'm crossing my fingers.
IF you decide to send it in for repairs, remember to call them and ask them to do whatever triggers the issue, or else they'll simply re-flash the firmware and call it a day. That's what happened to me the first time, and you don't want that to happen

Alright, so it's the same issues as i have, and it's a production error according to Sony, so you'll have to send it in for repair. This is strangly enough only the second case where this happens, that i've read or heard about (including my own Ultra), so it doesn't seem to be that big of an issue. It could simply be an issue on a batch of Ultras that we got. It's a really strange defect though.
Alright, so I got my Ultra back yesterday with a new screen, and the problem is solved. I tested it by leaving it in my refrigerator for about 5 minutes, and there were no signs of slowdowns or other defects, so that's the way to go
