OK, bear with me on this one. My SXS has been tint free for 2 months. I then went on holiday (temp 35C) and started noticing it for the first time. Not too bad, but definitely there. I came back to the UK (20C) and it went away. I thought no more about it.
I then got the ICS update. During the update process the yellow tint came back as strong as ever. I also noticed the phone was warm to the touch. While running ICS, the yellow tint has always been present. I have planned to take it back to the store I got it from on Saturday. Yesterday I put GB back on and the tint has virtually gone.
I can only assume that ICS runs warmer, perhaps significantly warmer, on my handset than GB does. Alternatively it may all be in my head.
Do you have the yellow tint? Has it got worse since ICS?
There is a thread about yellow tint. You shouldn't open new thread for this.
I've got my yellow tint when ambient temperature raised above 32C. Before that it was barely visible, almost on the edge of imagination. And the tint stayed even when the phone was in climate controlled environment with fixed 21C for more than 12 hours. Less visible but it was there.
I've just got my replacement and have to see what will do with ICS onboard.

This morning when I woke up
I realized there are some horizontal grey lines on my phone screen
Then I was outside jogging
I noticed the lines are gone
When I back to my room
I put my phone right under the air conditioner
After 15 minutes
When I pick up my phone
Those lines are there again..!
I bring my phone to my living room
My living room is without air conditioner
After 15 minutes I watched the lines are disappearing
I was so curious
Then I again... Put my phone under the air conditioner in my room
Those lines are back!
After this experiment
I assumed the temperature cause these grey lines on the screen
Is anyone also have the same experience?
Facts:
* even without *#0*# the lines are quite visible
*I lived in jakarta, indonesia my AC is set at 25C
*Outside my room without A I reckon about 32-35C
*stock kj2 with speedmod kernel
I'll wait if those lines keep coming back
Then have to visit samsung service center and the them about this.
Pics would be helpful ... because the early batches of SGS2 had the Yellow spots/Line issues!
i had that issue too. when i flashed MIUI rom and i could see horizontal grey lines on the white notification bar... so i did some research and its the hardware issue.. sometimes flashing a new rom goes a way but comes back randomly..
It is hardware issue
Just bring it to service center
They replace the whole screen for you

Apparently not.
Don't worry, I had the same problem. It happens when it's pretty cold outside. However the problem just dissapeared..
I had the same issue on my 26" led monitor, Galaxy S, Galaxy S II which bought in May and newer Galaxy S II which bought in November too. My room is 22C and outside is -8C.
Is this be a screen virus Its more noticeable on purple and grey colors. Android 4 uses grey colors and my CM9 looks bad.

im having the same issue. my SG2 is unrooted with latest firmware (2.3.6). im still under warranty can i get a replacement for this? is there any solution to this hardware prob?
yeah that can hapen due to a hardware error. take it to samsung because you cant change anything
About a week ago I had just checked an email using the gmail app and put the phone to sleep. I then remembered I needed to do something else on my phone, so I woke it back up. Upon waking, the entire screen was red, I could see the background still, but there was noticeable artifacing at the top of the screen. I unlocked the phone, and it was still the same. I could use the phone as normal, but the entire screen was a translucent red. I put the phone to sleep and woke it back up and everything was back to normal.
I am still in my 30 days of ownership, so I was wondering if anyone thinks this was a one time bug or if there is a deeper problem. At the time I was not rooted and was running 100% stock.
I'd most definately take that phone back and exchange for another.
It _might_ have been a one time issue, or it might have been a symptom of a hardware issue. Why risk it?
Thats not really a common issue... in fact the first that Ive heard of. Could be a one time issue... or a hardware LCD/screen issue. Id take it back.
I hadn't heard of it either. When it happened the phone was only a few days old.
I regularly replace iphone 4 screens and I have come across red tinted screens. At least on them it was a sign of screen problems, not software. Samsung does/did make screens for Apple. I've never heard of an iphone having a red screen then dying. I have heard of them being red and not ever going back to normal colors.
Not worth the risk for me. If it was my phone I'd exchange it.

I had a similar experience, except the screen went green, and wouldn't go away until I rebooted. It was probably due to CF.Lumen though, or at least that's what I thought.
On my Captivate, every once in a long while the screen would boot or unlock with a weird color tint. Seem to recall it having been green, but couldn't swear to it.
Either way, a quick lock/unlock again made it go away. Always figured it was a software bug somewhere in the display driver...
I clicked on a link in Dolphin which opened the YouTube app. The video started loading and went full screen. Suddenly the whe screen turned different shades of Grey stripes. Then slowly the stripes started changing color to a darker Grey starting from the middle of the screen and almost morphing to edges of the screen. It looked really cool but also scary. Then the phone crashed and rebooted. I thought that this would be the end and I saw myself having to but another phone. I have never seen anything like it.
Alas, everything was fine.
I'm running Ineffabilis Deus with the Cubed kernel.
The Other Side was trying to communicate with you through your phone
The cubed kennel never works for me on any Rom except viper. I'll lose damn near 50% battery in 8hrs just sitting in my pocket. Not to mention all the other funky sh*t that happens

I had a similar crash with my original rezound, except I didn't get gray a gray screen... it turned blue like a BSOD on windows except with no text. This happened like 4 or 5 times with in a month last February, and finally after one such crash the screen never turned back on again. Verizon sent me a new Rezound and haven't had a problem like that since.
So recently my phone has ghost images, leftovers from other apps on the screen. (eg. The top bar showing up ghostly when it shouldn't, controls of a game showing up on home screen after closing the game in a ghostly effect) It is not a software problem. I know it goes away on its own after some time, but it's very annoying and its freaking me out. Anyone else got this problem? How do I fix/prevent it
i got it to.not know hot to fix it
Very disappointed from xperia screen
I have also the same problem and it looks like a hardware issue. It's very noticeable when you increase the screen brightness. Notification bar icons/time appear all time against any dark background. Very annoying, even cheap phones don't have that problem.
Example I found online -> lnv.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79782iF19656F933D1C741

I read that certain types of screen cause it, and it cannot be fixed except wait, which sucks, but I can't say for sure
Screenshots showing problem
I took these photos from my phone to show you how the screen retention problem looks like in Sony Xperia X.

Yes, thats exactly my problem. I noticed that it gets worse if the device is overheating
Sorry for the bump, but is any else having the same issue?
Mine seems to be getting worse and worse over time, to a point that it can literally retain half way up the display.
I use to have the same issue with my iPad Mini Retina until I took it in for a replacement and it hasn't happened since (2 years ago).
Any experiences with Sony replacing the display under warranty?
Thanks,

Not really. After buying the phone, I used it for two months without having this problem, then rooted, so no warranty

Wow, yours got on the next level. Mine isnt so bad. Actually , I rarely have the problem lately. Do you run poison 7.1? That particurar ROM I was using was problematic, causing the phone to overheat and the lcd problem was present all the time
Mine is completely stock and unrooted.

running completely stock & unrooted. Mine has this problem too. However, the image disappear after 10-20 minutes :|
I had this problem on my unit as well. Tried to adjust the white balance and it seems the issue was barely noticeable on the status and navigation bars.
The good thing is that screen retention falls under manufacturing defect and you will get a new screen.
Mine got replaced with a brand, spanking new one, but the issue has started to creep in just a little bit after a few months, but its very faint.
So I know this is a pretty common issue with this phone, but all was good for me until I was playing roblox with my daughter for an extended period and the phone got slightly hot. Now every time the phone gets even slightly warm the corners and notch, as well as anything on the screen, will repeat down the screen several times in a weird purple colour and the left edge has a green tint. I'm assuming this is a hardware fault and judging from the forums it is getting worse by the day (more users experiencing it). I tried contacting motorola but they are not getting back to me. Has anyone on here had this happen and if so how did you get it fixed/contact motorola?
Same here, it was good for a couple of weeks. A few nights ago I observed a green cast when adaptive brightness was on and the brightness was set to low. Today the purple artifacts appeared. now they are gone again.
I read that motorola has been trying to fix this with software and is stating that this is not a hardware issue.
disappointing though.
