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...

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.

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.

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.

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
Today ever since lunch my vibrant has had a reddish tint? its like red with a little bit of blue and its really annoying me. i tried reflashing cyanogen mod but that didnt do anything! i havent wet it or anything so im confused as to why tis is happening. its like a slight red tint.
Go into voodoo control app. Towards the bottom select on gamma hack and choose default 2.3.3

Maybe you set your phone to 3D mode
Ok, joking aside that's really strange. Try backing up, then using odin to go back to stock. Once on stock see if your phone still has this issue. If it does you may have a hardware problem. If it's gone, try re-flashing Cyanogen.
yeah i did all that before posting this. and i thought i accidently put it in some 3d mode lol. so i guess it is a hardware problem. damn it. i just got this phone...
How recently did you get it? Is it under warranty?
I got it saturday and im not sure. my dad sent it to me.
Flash back to cm7, put on a voodoo color kernel and use the voodoo control app... then ggo into rgb multipliers and lower your red, maybe your blue.. play with those till you acheive perfection
.. i spent some time until my screen became perfect, witb snow whites and vibrant colors now i get satiafied by just looking at my phone every day

could i do all that using miui?
I have SE LWW i love this phone but what i have notice that it has some problem with the sensor that change the brightness according to the light conditions.
What happens is that sometimes the screen start to flicker that is continuous jump
between low and high brightness which is very irritating.
So please share if any one of u face the same problem or know anything about it.
I m using LwW from yesterday but havnt seen this kind of issue may be needing more time to cross check, will update definitely.

yeah mine too.
i think it's coming from the device light sensor, n we can't fix it until sony put an update.

Weird had the lww too and never had that problem. Do the ones that have it updated your phones?? I am currently on lasan's rom but never encounter it.
thanks for replying guys but i think it is the ambient light sensor problem that means it is a hardware problem so it might not get solved by update.
Be positive most of the times it is a kernel related problem or take to a service center and see if they give you a new one
Live With Walkman
Live with walkman has a ambient sensor in it which changes light accordingly
but i never noticed any flicker in my phone my suggestions would be take the
phone SE service center
the flicker shows when u look at screen from side. but from infront of the screen, it's hard to see.

I confirm this.
When brightness is not full(I used on half on Stock and Hybrom ROMs), then in some conditions the screen indeed does flicker a bit.
That is caused by ambient light sensor, which detects many different light levels at some point, that is the reason for changing screen brightness so much at that time.
Currently, I am not aware of solutions for this, as I do use custom ROM, where I haven't noticed it yet.

Is not a bug, most other phones have it also, that means light sensor works.
It shouldn't damage your phone.

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
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium
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...
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium
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
just emailed sony about mine, is the full screen yellow or just the corners?

Hi guys.
I just wanted to confirm something regarding the touch light keys(menu and back keys) on the white S3.
When they light up, the surface around them will also have some dim light probably because they're too bright.
Is this normal? Does this happen to all white S3 users?
I attached a photo to make my poor description clearer.
Thanks a lot.
turn them off
Yes, happens to all of themthem
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yes it happens on mine also.
Thanks for the reply. Now I'm relieved.
One additional question, does this happen on the blue S3 too?
Same here, i just turned them off because you cant miss the buttons. And i think the phone looks better with them off.
It happened on my white one - I call it the halo effect. That's why I swapped to the pebble blue. It doesn't happen on the pebble blue.
So it doesn't happen on the blue one.
But I still love my white one, bored of dark colour already although the blue S3 is kinda unique.
And yes I'm gonna turn them off, looks clean and sleek.
This is normal. You will also notice that the notification LED will have the same effect e.g. blue LED - whole front of phone will turn blue when the LED is on.
Does not happen on the Blue one.

It's not a problem.
All white models are made in this way.
If you don't like,turn it off.
On this subject. Does anyone know of a way to change the brightness of the buttons? I have them off atm but would like them on but dimmer. The light blur looks quite cheap and is a design oversite in my opinion.
I would be very interested also in any solution to adjust the brightness

It would be great if there's an app to adjust the brightness of the touch light keys!
Any news about the adjustment of the touch key brightness?

I've turned them off. I don't get it at all. Why do the buttons light up? What information is it giving you? "Don't forget - this is a button - press it and something will happen. In the case of the back button what will happen will be entirely unpredictable 90+% of the time! Might go back, might quit, might even take you to a page you've never been to! But you can press it!"
Any news about it? Someone knows if it's possible to adjust the brightness of the touch keys?
Every solution is welcome
I have white s3 and I prefer the lights like that.. looks cool.
