Hi all,
I've had my Xperia S for about 3 months now...just went to look at my phone and noticed the yellow tint problem has occurred.
My only problem is that I won my Xperia S from ThreeUK and therefore obviously has no receipts, ThreeUK are not obliged to pay for repairs as it was a prize gift...so do you think Sony will fix it?
Thanks everyone,
Matt
Yes they should fix it since they are aware af this issue.

Thats one of the very first batches, you were pretty much sure to get the tint.
mine is also one of the first units germany has got.. only 3 were there and im so lucky that i dont have the tint *-* get a replacement
Can you please say what was written on the sticker on the box? Something like SI 1257-xxxx
I have just bought one white and has SI 1257-2735.7 and has the tint
They should fix it fine, they fixed my xperia arc cracking issue without receipt. They just look at the manufacturing date of the handset and as long as you're within two years that's enough proof to fix it under warranty and obviously yours will be.
thanks

Cursed myself earlier as i dropped my Xperia S onto a ceramic floor from about 150cm, got a slight dint on the corner where I usually got the yellow screen issue. Now its not there any more even when the phone is roasting!!
Still cursing myself as i was hoping the yellow tint issue was still there so i could get a replacement, now i gotta live with a tiny dint which will annoy the **** out of me lol!!
Da fuq? Are you sure?

F888 yeah
Send from the best device ever.
The fall disabled a core now you only reach 20 degress
Wish I knew about this fix before I sent my phone off to be fixed - would have saved me weeks of having to live with the Samsung dumb phone they have given me whilst I wait!
Lol, reminds me of the story I heard about some batches of the Amiga 1200 that Commodore advised people to drop from a certain height & angle to knock an incorrectly fitted component back into place back in the early 90's
I sold my HTC One X, and have found the Xperia S and I'm ready to buy one from a USA Importer like Xpansys.
I read about the screen issues so what SW does the thing need to have to be in the new batch without the screen issues.
Also anyone using this phone on ATT, i take it it gets full HSDPA + data.
Thanks
All new comes ready to roll eithout yellow tint. Only first wave had that problem.

Not really, stock in a shop could be a month or two old. And you cant tell manufacturing week/build line from the box. Ask the staff to show you the backplate and look for 12w12+ and Not AA [eg AB are reportedly clean].
Also, read the screen thread.

Oh yeah, forgot, think it only gets EDGE bands on ATT, do a search.

The Global Mobiles is not listed on Amazon, I guess they are out of stock on the phone.

Hey everyone.
A friend of mine bought an Lcd and screen from eBay but it didn't fit his phone. He got a refund and asked me to look at it. Now... The code on the back of the broken Lcd says it's 2012 the one my friend got was 2011... Where can I get a 2012 from? I have looked but people never even knew there were different years.
Any help woukd be appreciated.

Most of you know me, or have seen me around.... so are probably aware of my, 8 week cold turkey stint without my Ultra.
Reason being: There was a small repair needed.
... However today I took my family on a small tramp, in the sun, to a water hole for a swim..
I was taking some picture with my Ultra, and the screen started flickering... so i powered it off and then back on... 'black screen'
Everything was still working, but black screen. (obviously can't see anything) Went to do a hard power off, by holding the red button, and hmmm whats that. the white humidity paper is red. **crap!** the lens on both the front and back have fog all over them. No I've never even taken my device underwater, it may have received a few splash's today, but caps are always closed... and they were today.
conclusion:
The last repair was completed, and the device was not sealed properly...
So... awaiting a response to my rather lengthy email... (very polite) and will see what the company say whom i bought it from.
They are based in Hong Kong, and it cost me $120 NZD to send it there and back... (I had to pay both freight costs)
SO.... there you go. fricken awesome! My device is dead again!
Oh god no.. I don't know what to say. The typical thing now is that you'll ship it away (again) and we'll receive 4.4 the day after. Just watch it happen.
hey lord I send you a private message. nothing important but. i'm going off topic but can you tell me or any body knows how to make the screen home page larger or to expend once the DPI has downsize to 280 DPI
In the imortial words of Toyta: Bugger
Oh man that sucks. Maybe you could buy a new one and when this one finished, you just have to sell it?

Will have a think. If the company even reply and acknowledge their fault....

Not for sale here, they are all imported
So basically it didn't survive the water test? Makes me think twice now with regards to taking my Z Ultra in the water...
It's a shame your not covered by insurance.
Oh my ... Sorry for your loss :/
They can't replace it instead of repairing ? i mean that's a lot of money especialy if you have to send it back again !
Yeah, Thats what I'm saying man. The freight charges could have paid for another phone. I'm sure there's some reputable online retailers that does RMA for free?

yeah but we are talking about NZ dollars here so the $120 is only about 50c US
as a comparison they are currently selling imported for about $6-800
This is bad news Hamdogg, you didn't got much change for enyoing this device. Hope this will be solved for you in good way.

I've used it in the rain, before I had the initial repair. worked fine, the humidity paper was still white. BUt the last repair company was complete rubbish. Was not my call as it was shipped to Hong Kong (where i purchased it) and they had it repaired.
So if your device is new, and not been opened then you're safe.

Yeah i'll get it repaired, and then sell it. I've bough a C6833 in New Zealand. Its not a sony store, but at least I don't have to ship it overseas. Should arrive next week I'm guessing. I was looking at the Z1.... but just couldn't do it. size of screen is obviously more important to me than a better camera... plus i have the QX10 so there's that.

This is a little concerning if I am honest, the 4K video heat thing is a bit obvious though and you should only be taking short videos with it.
Definitely going to be waiting a little while to see how the launch in the uk goes before deciding what I get

I also do not see it as a problem but as normal, since 4K requires more processing power!
Yup its true... I think this problem is in international set. Taiwan uses another model.

Hmm no such problems.
I've gotten two Z1 Compact and both had the gap. One more than other.
I don't know if it is relatively normal or simply a not so good construction by Sony.
Has it been confirmed that the gap compromises the waterproof qualities of the phone or is it just sloppy construction??

I guess it's the construction. But I didn't pay my money for sloppy QC.. My front camera alignment is way off. The hole is nearly touching the glass edge

Mine have the gap too.
White unit from Taiwan.
Actully, don`t care about the gaps, it`s just not quite exactly glued the glass, need to rotate counterclockwise just a little bit
Much more concerned about single speaker plaiyng when incoming calls
This is a fail of the fails!
This is a little worrying. But as with all new devices, there's release bugs.
Ordering my Z2 (Purple with any luck) in a couple of weeks when we have them available here in Australia. Hopefully the batches coming to us are a little more refined. The single speaker on calls should be a simple software update I would imagine. Same for 4K recording overheating, but hell, the power of such a small camera in a thin device, can't expect to record much more than a few minutes regardless.
