Hi all. I want to talk with all of you who had or have problems with SXS.
1. YELLOW TINT
First of all, a way famous problem is yellow tint (which i sadly got it).
Does someone has some tricks, advice, any thing.
2. DELAYED TEXT AND CALLS DURING IDLE
Second my phone got weird problem (while sleep) might be kernel related.
To get the point, my phone went sleep for a while, if you try to call me you will get message that my phone is turned off (but is not, just in sleep), when i make a call to someone, then my phone freaks out and recive every call and message that i receive during IDLE TIME.
Few more people have this problem on diffrent operators, difrent country.

One more problem which i got, when i play some games (angry birds, tower and trolls, defender 2) my phone heat up a little and then touch screen get unresponsive while game graphics continue to work (3 buttons below screen dosnt responsive to) so only way to get phone back is restart.
4. BUZZING NOISE DURING CALLS ON WIFI/3G

For problem no1. Take it back

Got none of them
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
got no.3 when in .73 fw. now in .76 it's not anymore..
for no.2 i think it's related in kernel (and cpu)
for no.1 it's just pure luck, but warranty should cover it.
for no.4, dunno for sure.
btw, i have none of those issues (at least for now)
for me just the BUZZING sound , but it is only in GSM mode,at 3G is ok/clear
I've got none.. not with 2 months usage so far !
@OP.. u might wanna add an option like "no problems with SXS" to ur poll (as the percentage doesn't make sense without it imo).
None !
Add none option in the poll
Got number 3 (but rarely) also sometimes the phone freeze then reboots.
Got none of the problems.
Screen was kinda yellowish but all hints of yellow disappeared after a month or so.

Unresponsive Lockscreen......and problem when answering calls,(issue with the slider) on .76 firmware.
I don't have my warranty of the phone and have the yellow tint issue so i am basically SCREWED......
now if i need to get it repaired i've to pay
edit- screen is always yellow not only when it is above 40 degrees.....
my screen sometimes get yellow...most of the time...but sometimes is not
No problems at all here. And still got my warranty so still no problem. I'm just one big happy XS owner here.
Hope ICS will fix some of the problems people have, and not add more to the list.

Hello, i would like to know if someone else have this problem and maybe if they can tell me how to solve it. I have put a picture on a phone contact and for a few calls everything is alright, the picture is show in full screen. But after a whille the picture is become smaller and i don't know for what reason. Thanks...
My first unit had yellow display tint but i got that exchanged and other than the yellow tint i have'nt had any problems. As this is my first smartphone i was initally unhappy with the battery capacity but with every update (*.62 - *.67 - *.73 - *.75) it's gotten beter and better and now i'm well satisfied.

Only a bit house in calls with 2g in .73 now I'm on 75 haven't tried it yet, and sometimes it freezes but most of the time when is charging apart from taut all ok

Here are a few problems I have with the amaze so far...
1) Fluctuating service. I hate this. I will have all the bars showing and then all of a sudden I get no service. What's up with that? The sensation would at least holds two bars at all times. (Oh and no wifi calling!)
2) Overheating issue. This phone gets too hot for no reason. For example I browse for 15 minutes and bam..its really hot. I make sure I exit apps by hitting the back button and my brightness is at 15%. There's no excuse for this.

4) wifi turning off??? I could be on wifi for a good hour and everything is OK, then I turn on the phone again to use it and I'm not connected to wifi anymore. I manually turn wifi on and off to get it to work again.
5) On the bottom in between the menu and back key my amaze has some light leaking through. Its tiny. I didn't notice it until it was completely dark but its there and now I can't help but keep staring at it. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it.
6) Lastly and the most annoyong thing for me is a clicking sound. When I pick up the phone it sounds like something getting snapped in place. And its almost everytime. Wtf is that. haha.

the no wifi calling thing sucks, will be fixed with root/update so meh
my battery drains about 50% when i'm sleeping, though this may be to mediocre service that goes in and out, going to try and shut mobile network off tonight and see if it fixes the issue
Though I agree with most of the other "problems" ya'll have listed...
I was told by 3 representatives, and one sales person (who sold me the phone) that you have to activate the new sim card included with the device to take advantage of the new wifi-calling that T-Mobile is rolling out (this includes the new GSII on t-mo). - I spoke with so many because none of them could activate the new sim correctly...and were baffled themselves as to why it was so difficult...haha.
Honestly, I havent been able to test wifi calling because the place where I'm renting has never worked with mobile devices, except for apple devices (of course...haha). I may report back here later when i go somewhere else with wifi.
Just wanted to pass on some info I was told by 4 separate people - they all claimed that's what a memo showed on their system when they pull up the AMAZE and GSII.
I come from a mytouch 4g, i have the same issue, suddenly i have no service then it's back on again. Never had that with the mytouch...
Well, I have had mine since launch day. I have a little but not much light bleed. I have had no heating issues. Last night out at bars I saw the signal issue. One sec I could speed test and pull down 14. Then I would notice no 4G symbol, try to speed test again and it would say no signal. Still love it though, nice and fast!!
My buttons light up when it's dark, but not when it's light. Is there anyway to turn this light sensor off and keep these lights on so I can see my home, menu etc buttons?

This doesn't sound right to me at all. I activated a new sim and I don't have the feature. How can a sim control the software on the phone?

Definately seems there is a (buttons) light sensor, they do basically stay on at night, not in daytime.
Prolly see some update/option to this in the future, keep em' on or leave to the sensor.

The sim is not controlling the software, but it can affect what information is communicated with t-mobile.
I don't know what you mean by you don't have this feature. Among other ways to activate the hotspot capability, you should find the "Wi-Fi Hotspot" app on the device.
Just to repeat/clarify my original statement/post: The Amaze 4G and the GS II (according to others) allow you to activate the wifi hotspot feature, have your other wifi-enabled devices connect to your phone, but when you try to access the internet with those wifi-enabled devices, you are prompted to upgrade your plan to include the $15/mo. plan.
I hope this is clear to all.
Te whole service popping in and out is starting to drive me nuts!!!! 3 bars of 4g then nthing! 1 bar of 4g then it turns into 2 bars of 2g! WTH!?!?!? Never had soo many reception issues on ANY of my Tmo phones!
Dosent seem to matter where I am when this happens as it happens often, far too often!
I have to assume that of all the connection point inside the back cover of the phone at least ONE of them is some sort of antenna?????
Cmon Tmo?!?!?
Even if it does warm up, I doubt that you will feel it if you put it in a case. Unless the phone is burning up..then yeah.
I am coming from a HTC sensation 4G and it had WiFi calling and WiFi hotspot feature.
The manual that comes with the amaze shows how to use WiFi calling also the one on HTC's site,
If I could put the sensation Rom on the amaze I would be happy as the sensation had what I want working,
I love the feel of the Amaze it feels much more masculine and fits nice in my big hands I find my self not mistakenly touching the softkey's as much.
Also I can seem to figure out where 4gb or the Rom is as it shows only 9gb for storage and 2gb for something else
On another note I have seen a post that shows an Amaze with WiFi calling, the had an earlier firmware,

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but you guys can probably still exchange the Amaze for the SGS2. I'm really not having any of the problems described here. It dropped the GPS once yesterday... that's about it so far.

why would you get flamed. only 99% of the people on this site know more about the devices theyre holding and things their carrier offers to them then the actual employees, one of the most known things probably being the grace period you have to return/swap out your phone if you want... noooo, no reason to be flamed.

To those who are experiencing issues with the Amaze especially after returning it a million times before buyers remorse is up, I recommend testing out the GS2 aka Hercules. Other than the resolution this phone is really great. The resolution isn't that noticeable unless you have OCD.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I jumped ship to the GSII. So far I'm happier. The amaze does have more bells and whistles but it was a bit heavy for me and the GS II has got - not substantially - but improved battery life and a more visually appealing screen. Also my eyes aren't great, so I actually appreciate the lower resolution screen which keeps the icons bigger. I can see the pixels easier than on the qhd of the amaze, but i have to be "looking for them" to really notice.
Some people are having better luck with their Amaze so just like a ton of other companies out there these days...there's a big quality control issue.
Looking service is really getting on my nerves now and i dont like this any more. Wonder if there will a fix for this from HTC or Tmobile
Hey all,
I know a lot of members here at xda are affected by the camera quick launch feature. Some are not even aware of it. However, it did come to my attention that for the ones that stated their quick launch is working every single time, it is likely because their devices are not sleeping properly.
If you are one of the members that has a perfectly working quickly launch, please check your battery usage and see if your device is sleeping properly. Also, please make sure you run a few tests to ensure that your quick launch is working following these instructions.
1) Power on your screen with the top left power button, press again to power off and let screen idle for about 15-20 secs.
2) Activate the quick launch from black screen with the dedicated camera button. Repeat for 5-10 times and report your success rates.
Most people will notice that after the first few tries, it can take up to 2-4 times to activate quick launch feature.
I hope all of the xperia S members take part in this and convince Sony that they have to focus on this issue. It has been left unfixed for far too long. please follow this link and voice your issue there.

We need a fix or a straight forward answer.
Mine worked first time, but then the next NINE attempts all failed
I'm running .50 unofficially though, as the .45 update hasn't even made it to the UK yet, so Sony would probably say in my case its because I have hacked firmware :banghead:

No, Sony just need to understand that A LOT of people are affected by this issue. Most members dont even know they have this issue until they tried, thus Sony is sort of down playing this issue thinking that only a small fraction of people are suffering from this bug. But the truth of the matter is that a lot of people are suffering from it. As long as you flashed the .50 firmware and the bug is there, it will be there for you even if you get the official update from PCC, it makes no differences.

An issue is an issue whether big or small! Buggy camera Quick Launch is the biggest issue for me on ICS, because I use this feature a lot (and only to see it fail many times). I understand that such a feature might not be of importance to you, but it is to many like me. So, kindly be considerate to others' issues than being outright dismissive !
not a big deal
i don't use the camera it self for about 3 weeks and i didn't get the phone to use the camera
so it's not affecting my daily use of the phone call me idiot or what ever as you did on your last reply but trust me we using human made product and you have to expect bugs and faults of any kind and solving issue could take time so be polite nothing will change you have to phone keep it or give it away.

For the members stating it worked 100%, did you make sure to let the phone idle on the black screen for at least 15 seconds in between ?
Hm, mine is working but i noticed something else - every time i'm at the office, where the reception is pretty bad, the phone is constantly awaking. when i'm at home, where the reception is really good it's sleeping very well. So, do you think the bad battery life might be something related to poor reception? Also is there a way to disable totally the quick launch, i never use it and if i can get better battery life with disabling quick launch i'll be more than happy to do it.

when the phone gets a long idle, it will usually work on the first try. however if you try to let it idle anywhere between 15 seconds - a few mins, it will have trouble in between. usually if i leave the phone alone for 2 hours and try, it will always work too. however once i activate the first time and try again in a minute or two, fail rates are extremely high.
and if i sounded angry for calling someone an idiot before, it was because he tried to be an ass and made me look like a bad guy for pointing out a bug in the phone. i'm usually very respectful towards other people.
First time i had this Bug was on GB wenn i've installed vintage and the QL-Button seemingly couldn't find out which app to choose . after setting the camera app to default it worked until ICS... but since my clean-install of .50, the rooting and the removing of all the bloatware its gone and its working every single time for me, no matter how long i wait in between or whatsoever.
maybe another problem for unlocked BLs like the BE b/c mine is locked.
This morning i tried with data off and let the screen off for 20s and 4/8 success rate! Now i tried with data on! Do the same success rate is 100% 9/9! Might me my line, my messenger, whatsapp keep the phone a wake!
Don't forget to hit thank, if i deserve it!

Hi, I tried it and I don't get waves. And I know from PC days I am quite capable of seeing flicker. I think what you are seeing looks like a video sync problem. What have you got installed? Maybe you need to check your graphics settings or perhaps Power Saving that may have altered the settings?

Video sync? Wait I see those waves by naked eyes. And did you tried it with full brightness? And no I haven't did any under clock.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I may be using wrong terms. In the old CRT screens it was called sync - that's what your video reminded me of.
Have you tried JJ's suggestion of Factory Reset?
Also do you have anything installed other than how the phone came? If so, list the changes you made - you will probably get more responses if people don't have to ask 'did you do/have this?' and have you say, 'no I didn't' or 'already done that' - tell us what your phone has, what you have done, what conditions etc.
e.g. CF-Root, Omega JB Rom, All Power saving options on - anything you can think of including the ROM/Kernel versions

The issues definitely look lie Vsync issues, though with the quality of the video you posted it's hard to tell. If you phone is now on a true stock rom with no root or anything, then it's likely a hardware fault. Take it back to where you purchased for a warranty repair, there's nothing else that will help you here I'm afraid.
Hello,
I got my galaxy s3 for a little over 5 months now. About 3 months ago this started to happen:
/watch?v=yck3t4-tDDA (youtube vid, can't post links yet)
This clicking noise and the loose home button (end of vid) is bothering me quite a bit. I was thinking
to go to the store and ask what they think about it, however i'm aware that if i can get the phone replaced
the new one may even be worse ( screen problems, overheating, short battery life, etc). So i thought i'll ask
it here first , what do you guys think and do some of you have the same problem?
Thx in advance!:good:

guys i request all of you to share ur expiriences with this buggy tablet........all the screen shots are below
isuues i had the past week are>>
1)flickering
2)the bottom touch bar dissapears(the one with touch buttons dissapeared)
3)camera failed(last screen shot)
4)sleep of death(no screen shot)
Most annoying one is the
ZERO BRIGHTNESS
this issue occurs frequently for me when the brighness is set to full...
sometimes when playing games or watching movies,the screen brightness turns to 0
this is not a screen timeout issue as i set it to 30 minutes:
check the second last screen shot for this
remember i had these issues in the past week

if tablet freezes sometimes the os restarts without actualy restarting the camera driver causing issues with camera, i asume it works after a reboot which further proofs my point.
just report their freezing issues shutdowns don't really matter their related to each other.

point being issues are related because your forced to shut it down and reboot its just as anoying >_>
Wow..TS has many issues.
As for me, My camera is buggy and the flickering i think is a common known problem.
Sleep of death happened to my tablet before but very rare. I used the reset button to revive it.
I've never experience the missing status bar or brightness issue.

Well it defiantly was't known at sony, heck why they made thread their the xperia tablet s also have these issues all related to sony poor memory management probably that will be fixed in jelly bean for xperia tablet s.
Screen tearing and camera probs that's it. I feel this would be so easy for sony to fix lol

I'm glad more people reporting issues now.
now i understand shutdown issue on tablet s1 little better to now older android visions it would freeze like sleep of death.
guess since last update they also implented time out function in tablet s1 i guess because they consider it less anoying and normal........
well guess its time for them to stop slacking and stop doing work around fixes and fix the actual problem.
On my xts i have:
1. screen flickering mostly while reading pdfs or browsing
2. have expirienced shutdowns while browsing 4-5 times total
3. youtube playback buggy as hell
i think 1 and 3 are ics 4.0.3 bugs and should be fixed with jb(if that comes out in the near century)
I'm done with sony i think.
sony products i have problems with
3dtv with no decent pair off 3D glasses because latest one's flash you right in the eye with a blinking led thru eye glasses which is the most shameless issue they never ever fixed.
a 3D blu ray player i need and squeeks like a pig sometimes, a ps3 that can't play a game in 3D thats listed as 3Dtv supported game.
a ps3 that can't play 3D blu ray's with dts trueHD bitstream in 3D even tough its a new ps3 slim
Looks like sony is as bad as samsung, guess sony is the second brand i'll fully boycot........
my world becoming really small now i think i slice my self to death, because the world is filled with idiots like sony that only wanna make your life as bad as possible while stealing your money.
I might asswell just grab my money grab a lighter burn my money its same thing as throwing money at sony or samsung...........
Screw this corrupt world......
Good luck boycotting im sure youll take Sony down for sure lol

If i have to boycot them i'll consider ending my life also.
Seriously don't wanna life on a world where 2 big brands have upset me and keep acting corrupt.
Sony eitherway has to apoligy for issues and compensate everyone make this known on any tech site xda xperia blog etc tweakers.net
i won't trust sony again otherwise......... they should have done this already.

last 3 years if been thru lot presure, my childhood was awfull, never got any help anywhere.
I'm not the kind off guy that suicide over just a tablet, but when i see nothing but corrupt world everywhere, i can only feel sad and depressed and verry angry........
Don't wanna life that way, if seen nothing positive happening so far, sony is the ultimate proof that its only about making money.
and that every big company is a evil company.
They contribute nothing to decent well payed jobs for people like me, for that i hate them.
I think we all become way to tolerant in this world that big company's like sony or samsung keep crossing the red line, if been thinking for long time now its time to put that line back few miles back again.
spoke to peterT on skype
the tablet s1 issue has been re produced by the devs, peterT him self has't been able to re produce it.
peterT is't respondsible for android at all btw, but he has meeting with the devs pushing devs to even release jelly bean for tablet s1 and roll out updates much faster, trying to proof that we customers have issues more often then they find them.
he's bassicly just community manager doing what he's supose to be doing.
Anyway i don't really have any news for now, if their is news he'll will defiantly post about it.
It would help btw if you guy's gave this a try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S54dHJhbG9naWMuYW5kcm9pZC5sb2djb2xsZWN0b3IiXQ..
And send logs over to [email protected] and include what tablet you own the tablet s1 or xperia tablet s
i'll check the logs then for any specific errors see if their pattern in these logs i am asuming they all have the same errors.
if set this mail acount up just for logs btw if you wanna add me on skype you can send me a pm with skype details and i'll add.
just trying to understand issue.
another test can consider doing is not playing video's at all for least 2 day's see if you still have shutdowns and freezes.
I observed on my s1 gen tablet issues:
1) screen flickering - light blue area blinks when useing high resources consuming apps ( video, search, antutu, virus scan app etc) blink takes about 0.5-1s its hardly noticed but it appears.It creates right triangle like figure with right angle at the lower right corner (system overlay bug? miniapp bug, graphic ? demuxer?)
2) sony movies app didnt rotate , problems with watching streaming videos from internet ( for about some time playing video slowing down -> app stops the message appears 'you can not play the video' .I have it after r5,r5a update
3)stock browser self shutting down ( usually when open 4-5 cards with sites includes java objects, banners , graphic etc) when opening again all these sites loading again, even if I turn off tablet. ( browser must have assigned own ram from system and remembers it - overload it may result shutting down) I suggest include rule to clean ram when app closes.Also with dev option bacground process limit max 4 processes on
4) sometimes standard (stock) keyboard self minimalises during posting on eg xda forum, sony community forum. to continue I must click on area again to show keyboard again.
5) sleep of death after r5,r5a . Reproduction for it: reading ebook with sony reader app or adobe. Tablet is chargeing (in dev option : debug , stay awake , allow mock - all turned off) display (sleep after 30min) , wifi turned on .
No other app on background except readers .Next leave tablet for about 45min.
After 30 min screen turnes off - the problem is the power button doesn't wake tablet. Need push restart button or about 10s power button to start the system again
6) loss wifi signal, disconnects in vary routers. Long time waiting to connect to network after sleep mode
7) camera app sometimes force closes - stops responding after taking a picture, the picture or movie doesnt appear on low area plate-like. Need clear camera app data to fix it. But this problem is in future again and again.
9) I dont know if its is issue but I demanding exFat support on sony tablet s, video and music unlimitted on more countries
thats all I think about. If it will be fixed I will be full satisfied
Got call from chris mcdonalds, this issue has just gotten high priority to be fixed asap, he told me to be patient because this issue is known and is taking bit longer to be fixed.
Anyway if their is news i'm first one to known will receive this news within 2-3 business day's
I experienced all the issues and much more, the status bar disappearance issue is due to the System UI trying to render but there is other stuff forcing itself in while the device is trying to stop malfunctioning but the tegra chipset is not helping at all meaning that it is too much for the graphics, I do have a screenshot of the log somewhere.
That issue occurs when while your in the application draw in ultimate lag, opening the notification shade will only hide the status from the bar and not show it in slowness causing too much so the Android System attempted to try to do something about it but the issues where so bad that the "2 force closes detected must stop application to gain stability" feature in the Android System cannot do anything about it since the "application" keeps opening since it is an important part of the Android System so the Android System opens the application but there is too much code and bugs going in the same time that there is too much conflicts causing it to force close constantly and sometimes the launcher can join in with the conflicting killing the wallpaper and flashing the application draw switch and guest mode switch, sometimes it really goes so bad that it crashes in a loop to the boot animation onto the system with the system ui force closing constantly, lagging causing the system to crash the system server (yes that is how it ends up in the boot animation) going into the same loop and to brake the loop you need to power the device down.
