Hi,
I just got my Ultra from Clove. My screen has a yellowish cast. Does anyone else have this? Switching off optimised backlight makes no difference, though turning brightness to full clearly helps. Thanks
AFAIK, it's fixed with firmware .526

I am on build. 475 in the US and have the same yellow tinge. Anyone know how I can update to the build that fixes the issue.

Hello guys. Does the update really fixes the yellow tint? Has anyone confirmed it or it is a speculation and wish thinking?
Also, Any chance we Can modify White balance. APK from Xperia z, zl To work To our ultra? That would surely help To our situation...
Thanks
Maybe is my eyes but I am with .532 and still see yellow cast.

Hi all,
I'm still waiting for the update to find out....having said that, it looks less yellow now after a week of use........but on the other hand I might just have got used to it. It definitely has a warmer look to the screen than my galaxy note 2 - but then that was more blue.
Once I get the update, I'll report back.
Guys, please let me know how I can update the build on my phone to get rid of the yellow color on the screen. Do any of you have the build files that you can share? Are the build files dependent on the country the phone was bought in?
Can you please help? Would really appreciate some guidance.

Going by the feedback available on this forum, maybe only 2-5% of S2 owners had this problem.

Mine have it but i think its not an issue since most of device with the latest screen development have it
It mean including the ip4. I still running my original firmware,try to browse in here it been told that might be gone when it get upgrade firmware

Could be due to high resolution. Most of the apps images are build for standard resolution.
Lack of high res apps might be one of the reasons but yeah the phone has 720p screen and 16m colors !

true...but if the resolution of the image isn't there, it's not there notice the pixelation as well on those examples? They just don't scale well...
Exactly, as well as some apps are just not written for this screen resolution
like Photobucket.

It's not an issue in the phone. It's an issue in the app using a low-quality image.
Your 2 year old desire does not have a high enough resolution or color depth to show this, but if it did, you would see the same thing.

I'm actually more concerned with why my screen looks so different from kdadone's. Same phone and same application.. His pic looks at least much more acceptable than mine.
Does using the root image from development section affect anything in terms of 'display driver' that renders the screen?

I have exactly the same as you have. I think his is the same as well, just resized to a smaller version. Think the resize smooths it out a bit.

hmm..perhaps the jpg compression?
I dont believe that I altered the snap shot, all I did is that I took a snap shot from the phone which is unrooted btw and attached it in the topic! I'm running firmware. 67

Hi, Im new here. Im from Malaysia.
I bought S3 last 3 week ago.
The 2nd day i found my S3 screen got problem(only when at night or dark place).
The 3rd day i go change the new one. And it got the same problem.
My question is, Should i change again new phone or let it go?
Is anyone here got this problem too? When watching Movies or Black color picture at Night/Dark place, u can saw the black splash dot. Annoying.
ps, sorry for my bad english. hope you guys understand what i asking. : )
It happens on my device too. It's an issue with amoled screens. Quite common for all amoled devices.
Doesn't affect screen quality that much and 90% of the time you can't even notice it so don't worry too much
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
it is a known problem with amoled on lowest screen brightness with black background
This problem is not a fault. unfortunately Every phone has this problem.
I did not notice this in S2. But the HD amoled has this issue.
I was thinking, maybe something was wrong with the screen protector,
Moreover the spots are visible usually during low lit/night time
I changed my s3 three times and all of them have the problem... so nothing to worry about

Hi,
I think same cause on my S2 also have the same issue. Well then, it should not have to affect us since it just not a problem. Hehehe...:fingers-crossed:
Thank you all your reply!

Thank You for all your times to reply on this Thread!
This really help me!
Maybe the amoled company doesn't have Qualified QA + QC Worker. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
If for other company, sure this product will be asking RETURN ALL for RMA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Btw, My Samsung Galaxy S2 don't have this kind of problem.
Hope Samsung know about this problem and upgrade to the next new smartphone.
At last, Once again Thank You ALL!
Hehehe...start saving for s4....those who interested on my s3, pm me...hihihihi

Hello everyone.
I have just recently purchased the Xperia Z Ultra and it's a pretty big phone.
When I press the sleep/wake button to unlock the phone, there is a slight delay before the screen lights up. Is it normal? Do you guys have it on your device as well? I didn't expect it to be like this since Z Ultra has very powerful hardware, so I don't get why there should be a delay.
Another thing I noticed in the promo video for Xperia Z Ultra by Sony was that the settings background was like a white colour, but on my Z Ultra it has black background and text in white. I have the latest software version available.
Looking forward to your answers.
Thanks.
Have you updated to. 471 yet? There's no lag at my end.
Sent from my C6802 using xda premium
No lag with mine... I have seen reports of the screen turning grey for a split second before turning on tho.
if you installed bunch of crap apps it will be like that
Yes I've already updated to the latest software. The lag isn't that much but it's still noticeable, especially compared to my iPhone 5.
Sent from my C6802 using xda premium
I haven't installed a bunch of crap applications. I tried hard resetting it a couple of times but the slight lag is still there. Maybe an android thing?

My ZU also has a really noticeable screen wake delay. It was similar the the Z on it's earlier firmware releases.
So I think everyone has it, they just don't realize it.
I am on firmware .471 (which is the latest I think). Pretty unhappy about this but oh well.

Thanks for that. I'm also on firmware 471.
So I'm assuming Sony fixed the delay in Xperia Z with a firmware update, right. Hopefully they'll do the same with the Xperia Z Ultra as well, and soon.
And I don't think the current firmware on the Z ultra is market ready yet. It's quite different from the one they showed during the launch. I'm hoping we'll get the update along with the global release (LTE) next month.

Go to Settings - About Phone and look at build number at the end. If your last 3 digits not 471 then download Sony pc companion and update.

I don't have the delay on mine, but I did watch a review on Youtube, and he mentioned that and how annoying it is. So maybe some have it and some don't.. Mine has brutal battery life, and the sim door pops open a few times a day.. others have other issues. Not sure what to say there.
Does anyone know why my zu won't let me use anything but my finger?
my too don't worry !
it's new updates...(they fix problems with screen sensitivity)
Same here. The screen is super annoying

It seems that a 3.5mm audio male works on it. I'm on the second latest sony update.
I'm on 510 and it works just fine here. Probably a new bug that got introduced in a newer update.
