I'm thinking about buying an Xperia S, however I'm concerned about the yellow tint I've read about that affects some of the Xperia S'.
Is this problem still present or have Sony fixed the manufacturing malfunction?
Thanks

I didn't understand what the 2nd part of that means...
The store I'm buying on says the phone gets shipped direct from manufacturer so I should be safe?

It's the production week
When you look at the box of the phone
There will be imei, s/n, and production week (you can also find it on the back of the phone)
If it says more than 10 or 12 i forget the excact week but is has to be more than 10 then you're good to go

Sorry for not understand so if mine is Touch Firmware 7, it's likely I'll have yellow screen issue?
To add, remove the back cover of your phone you'll see something like "AAAA, ABAA, ACAA" etc.. It was confirmed that all AC versions and the newer devices doesn't have the yellow tint issue. Mine is ACAG and it's 3 months old, I used it for gaming(3D gaming) like MC3, The Dark Knight Rises, N.O.V.A 3, etc.. no yellow tint for me..

Mine is shipping directly from Sony's warehouse so I should hopefully expect to get one from a new batch? It is only the older Xperia S' that have yellow tint?

Has anyone seen this lockscreen, it's a bit odd different from the normal one? It shows it's face just randomly about every 150 times I unlock it. I'm on stock .73 fw.

I know can change it in the system ui if im correct, but have kniw idea why it is showing some times and not all off the time, i didn t see it before
I advice a repair with seus ( original update from se ) cause it is something in your rom, just reflash original rom with sony update center and you should be fine
You are on locked bootloader right ?
I don't get whats different ... looks like the standard lockscreen to me

Omg, you care so much? It shows up in some 0.05% cases (if ever). And if you read the thread carefully you'll see that I already posted that this will be 'fixed' (rather 'removed') in ICS.

It also shows up as the alarm screen, for me and at least one other member.
But I really don't care much, seeing as I'm definitely not awake enough to notice most of the time ;-)

Wow someone dug this thread up from the grave
Hi guys. Just picked up my sgs3 yesterday coming from s2.
I got it from t-mobile store. I think it's unbranded. Not seen anything t-mobile related.
I updated firmware via kies yesterday as there was an update available.
Is this the latest firmware for unbranded phones in UK via official channels ?
Also. Are the stock roms on here a massive improvement or are they buggy?
Cheers

If you got it from a t-mobile store, it will be t-mobile branded. Phones from phones4u and carphone warehouse are unbranded
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thats what I would expect, however there are no T-Mobile apps, no t-mobile logo in boot animation. To clarify when I say T-Mobile store, it was one of those Everything Everywhere T-Mobile/Orange stores, I believe all stores will be that soon?
Lfb is the latest European firmware. Easy to spot because it has a brightness slider in the notification tray.
The firmware has only been released a couple of days now so you might not get it straight away. Plenty of ways to download it here on xda though.

Off topic slightly but thanks to your screenshot i now have calls working on cm10 thank you squire your a legend!
Anyone else experiencing a slight lag when pressing the home button and it going to the home launcher? It's like.. a second. You press it and it waits a second and then goes.
Also, anyone else seeing weird dots on some letters? For instance, sometimes on the letter "r" on a page, I'll see a little dot on all the "r"s on the page. They scroll right along with the letter. I set it to small font, so that might be it. I put it back to normal and am trying to see if it'll happen again, just checking to see if anyone else has this issue.
Thanks
Anyone? :<
I have not seen this. Are you using a different launcher?
Can you screenshot these dots? I'm curious.
Yes I would say there is probably a 1 second delay between when I press the home button while in an app and the time the home screen comes up which I assume is normal. I have not seen the "r" issue but I also haven't changed text size... although I did change from the default font to another one without any issues.
I've been trying to get it to do the dot issue all day since switching to normal sized fonts. I'll try to switch back and see if it does it and get a screenshot.
I'm just using the stock TW launcher, I'm rooted though. I had this before root, though.

Notice the lines in the capital H's and the little dots on the lowercase n's? It goes away after you switch screens, but it'll hijack one letter and add a dot somewhere on the letter on the entire page. This is on default normal sized font. Haven't tried factory restore yet.

Skinomi, but they still charge you $2-3 for a replacement, instead of the full $12. Maybe I'll try a different one this time because the Skinomi was being torn up around the edges from my TPU case.
EDIT: Just called them, they're going to be sending me a replacement screen protector free of charge! She said that you need to let it adhere for a few days without the case, and they make them with a little leeway so that cases don't tear them up. What great customer service! Going to exchange my phone tonight. Nobody else has had this issue it seems so exchanging should solve it. Hopefully I don't get another problem with a new one.

Well, the root you'd have to do under 532 or some older firmware. The screen though if it's happening before it even boots into android is definitely a hardware defect. Rma time.

That was on the old firmwares when it was first released. I would sat it's a hardware defect like dodgy connection or something.

i rooted the phone and i installed recovery and i can't install new roms because i get an error..
also i think the problem is from gpu .. can someone give me a link for a kernel that overclock the gpu? or underclock it?
thanks!
I have these 3 blue dots on my front facing camera
only shows in the dark
there is nothing covering the lens such as screen protector or etc
I covered the camera with my finger to show you what I get in low light

No worries, I thought I'd better let you know.
No really, I used to get the same sort of thing on my M7 but it was only one large purple dot and disappeared after a few months
Is it just three x 1 pixels or are the larger than that?

Sounds like stuck pixels you could try a few of these techniques
From the research I did on this, the best way was to Vibrate the whole device very fast but with a small amount of movement. (Kind of like how a hair trimmer vibrates , small amount but very fast)
Also when we have RAW ability they will be even less noticeable .
Duno if this info will help . but I would try for an exchange if you are unable to fix/live with these blue pixels.

It was a long shot.... Hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction and they don't mess you around.
Good luck mate

I'm thinking of replacing the phone once I find another phone in mind to buy.
I'll sell my new replacement and get a new phone [emoji12].
My phone comes with 2 years warranty and Has 2 different warranty. One from Samsung Middle East and Another one from the company I bought it from.
