Lucky you, i have a "dead pixel", green one.
And a yellowspot in the rightbottom corner, but that'll fade over time. (i hope)
I'm glad that the screen has a very high resolution, it's really hard to even notice the dead pixel.
I have noticed a yellowish tinge at the bottom of the display. Only really notice it when there is a white background. Is it likely that the display is somehow faulty??

I have the exact same, a yellowish spot in the bottom right corner.
I hoped it was the same problem as the iphone or SGS2.
They say the yellowspot is from the glue that they use to stick the screenlayers together, but it needs time to vaporise and should go away over time.
But I have my phone now almost a week and i still get the spot back now and then.

Lol software problem :')
Sounds like bull**** to me.
I had contact with T-Mobile today, about the dead pixel and yellowspot.
The guy told me he's going to get information for me, and see if they can replace it. he'll send me an email later.
Same hear.
Barely visible yellowish (only on whites) at the bottom part of the screen.
It varies depending on the view angle.
Perfect screen here

I've had 2 Xperia S's so far both have some/one dead subpixels, T-mobile will call me when they have it on stock it again.

Lucky you! I'm still waiting for update from Sony! Will see if they can replace the unit.
I also noticed that at times the yellowish spot disappears and appears back again! I wonder what it could be!!

Ah you are the guy from the T-Mobile forum (Hiraj) with 5 dead pixels.
Anyway they told me it's in stock again next week (Monday 19th)
Just noticed that my screen keeps flickering, this is more noticeable on white backgrounds, is this normal as in the auto brightness or should I be worried?

Hi guys just wanna update you regarding screen issues.
I've spoken with people on the forum of my country, other 2 guys with Xperia S and both of them got that really barely visible yellow tint on the bottom part of the screen (also, one of these guys has 2 Xperia S -him and his brother- and both of them have that tint).
Really difficult to explain it on forums (nothing compared to the GS2 yellow tint) because it's really hard to see and only visible on white/clear colors uniform backgrounds, but according to what I'm seeing it's a common issue, not a problem of a single faulty unit.
Got a blue/whiteisch pixel to the top right of my screen
They said i need to have more then 3 to get a new phone :/`
Can i fix this ?

I have the problem too. I called technical team dept from where i bought the phone, and they asked me to do a screen test over the phone. I tap the screen it shows all white, tap again red, green etc etc. He asked me if i could see a yellowish tinge running across the bottom of the display when these colours appeared on the display which i couldn't to be honest. I took it back to the shop, and i dont know if it has to do with the bright lighting within the store, but it didn't show up hardly at all, barely noticeable. It seems less noticeable in a well lit environment, or outside as opposed to when i am at home where it i notice it more. It is midly annoying, but this shouldn't be the case.
Can anyone throw any light as to what this could be??
Thanks

I believe that yellowish tint has something to do with warmth from the screen or the battery or the screen staying on for a longer time or something or something.
because when I'm using it alot, playing games, browsing, whatsapp etc etc. for like an hour. It gets more visible.
And then it's from "barely noticeable" to "hard to miss"
I can clearly see it on Grey (notification slide down) or Blue (startscreen DrawSomething) or White.

Same here. Interesting what you say. I would still like to know where the consumer stands on this issue, and if Sony themselves would recogonise if this is a somehow a fault with the display. My Arc had no such problems.
Hi guys,
I'm new here, but I was reading the threads on the S from the start.
Reading through the screen problems I was thinking about the following:
The Xperia S's screen is glued- as I know -, like for example the iPhone4/4s'. Some i4 users noticed this yellowish tint as well, and they've came to a conclusion it was because of the glue what was used to put the screens together and it disappeared after about 1,5-2 weeks.
This could explain the reaction to temperature differences too.
Hello,
I was just wondering if this is a hardware error or software error but my screen seems to have a slight yellowish tint, but the very bottom seems more white.

I'd guess it's because of glue which is used to hold screen and glass panel together. Probably it haven't dried yet. Wait couple of days and screen should lose it's yellowish tint. If not then RMA the phone.

So I ordered a OPX on 8th Nov and got it on 10th Nov, What an awesome device with brilliant Display !!!!
Then my cousin saw it and wanted on for himself, so I ordered another one for him on 11th and got it on 14th ...
But when I saw compared both the phones, I realized that my OPX's display has a Yellow Tint
So after the Moto X(gen 2), Nexus 5X ... The OPX also has the same problem ...
I wonder what might be the reason behind this and why none of the company ever commented on this issue before ????
I want all of you to check your device and see what type of display you have, so that we may be able to conclude which one is defective, and if a particular batch is affected .
Here is the information of my 2 OPX :

Month and Year of Manufacture: Oct 2015
Month and Year of Import : Nov 2015
QC: 2003D

Just wanted to Know that is this is Software problem or i have got a phone with defective display .
Maybe it's your personal taste of colors ? I haveQC2006N

I've read about a slight blue tint when looking at the display from an angle, in several video reviews.
I've came here to rant as well, bought the OPX and have used it for a few days, mine also has the yellow tint issue on the top half of the screen (bottom half is a nice white). It is visible on day to day use which makes it annoying. Would've been able to live with it if the whole display was slightly yellow but the fact that part of it is and part of it isn't bugs me.
I've seen possible solutions like using a hairdryer of leaving it on the car dashboard but this issue is not my fault-I shouldn't have to go through **** to fix it. OnePlus better do something about it or I want my money back.
I've opened a ticket/RMA hopefully they get back to me early next week.
On a side note camera isn't as good as it could be, sd card bug is annoying, battery isn't great. My LG Spirit served me better to be honest.

Think back to Nexus 4, so many people were running different colour profiles lol
I don't know if it's plcaebo or it really happened. I stay in Mumbai which has a hot and humid climate (40degree is normal for us) and went to a cold place with temperature around -5 degree. I noticed that the screen got a yellow tint but it got back to normal once I got to warmer place. Now it could just be my illusion. Could anyone with some knowledge on this opine on this??
Hi guys,
This is my 2nd XZ1 from Amazon and have a weird problem with the display, not sure if it's common!
Lines shows up whenever I rub/glide my thumb on the screen up and down at moderate speed!
Please check attached pics
Any ideas?

I have a similar problem on my xz1 blue buyed from Amazon.
I have return the xz1 blue and I bought the black color that currently has no problems.
In blue color I also had touch problems
Well that sucks! So you are saying its a problem with the blue color! I'm just gonna send it back to Amazon and get the XZ1 Compact instead.

I believe that some of XZ1 screen does suffer from serious issues for me it was yellowish screen and now this, I think Sony should check what they are selling
Guess what! Just received XZ1 compact in blue color and that phone has the exact same problem! Sony is using some low quality screens on these two phones! The XZ premium I had got zero problems! So disappointed...

Guys I have this exact problem on my X compact
Im not sure about what you said about gliding up and down,
Ive been using my phone for more than a year now and never seen this problem untill today
The exact horizontal lines showed up when the phone was on charging and then faded out after some minutes
Any ideas?
I have the exact same issue currently toying the idea of getting rid of it because it's only 3 weeks old *sigh*
Hi got the same issue, is this common or
I have the same issue. It happens every single day and almost every time I push down on the screen. Please report this to Sony Customer Support; it seems to be a widespread issue. I will link this forum post in my report to them. Do the same in your ticket please.
i have noticed this issue on my phone in the first 2 weeks, but after that it's gone. The issue was also temporarily solved by restarting the phone.
Mine seems to be worse when the phone is cold

Do you also see a grid all over the screen?
Yes. Looks like we can see digitizer, this grey lines... but if you mean pixel location as,, grid'' then no.
Does anyone knows if there are many manufacturer for xz1 screen ?
As said in other thread, I personnaly do not have this on mine but had this on one of my previous xz5.
If there is different screen... How to check/determine which one is to share with potential buyers ?
I have not seen this problem. I have a black XZ1 dual with a glass screen protector on it.
I have had every color of the XZ1 and I never saw the issue. One of my phones had a weird ghost touch problem so I returned that one but over all they have been fairly problem free.
I unlocked bootloader and have same problem.
Will sony fix it free?

Anyone else experiencing this? See attached photo. Bottom end of the screen, pretty much half way down and onwards, colours and get lighter at 0% brightness. Top of the screen is black, like an AMOLED panel should be, bottom is light with an almost green tint. Used a screen test app and can see the shift even more and also navbar burn/retention.
Not impressed.
As I ordered this on O2, via Mobile Phones Direct, who do I contact or do I go to Huawei? Only been using the device for a weekend!

Ok so on lowest brightness in a dark room the darks on xda for example is greyer bottom half of the screen. But tbh any oled I've tried struggle a bit at very low brightness on dark/grey colours. Staying that yours does look particularly bad on the bottom 3rd
I have that too in the bottom right hand side of the screen. I already spoke to Sky to get a replacement and they want me to send pictures.

I'm printing out the photos I've taken in colour and including it with me return, keeping them for my record too. They want me to factory reset the device so last thing I want is for them not to be able to replicate the issue. Unsure what tests they'll do, as it's going back to Mobile Phones Direct
That sucks mate. I've not followed screen issues on OLED devices closely across the brands...so surprised this is happening with a premo device. Hopefully there are only 1 or 2 cases for some of these major defects...as many more becomes worrying!

Another thing, sorry for off topic is I've switched from Three to O2 (number transferred a few hours ago and now using O2 with old number) and I'm getting absolutely terrible 4g speeds. At work at the moment and signal hasn't always been the greatest on my office, but hoping when I test speed when I leave and also when I'm home that speeds are decent. Otherwise I may end up cancelling this phone and contract, and maybe I'll see about the Pixel 3 XL on a contact back with Three, or maybe I'll go sim only and get the Oneplus 6T - as the likelihood of getting root for this device is looking slim.....
Wait for 1/11, which ius the AUS release date of the phone and an extra week and see if Funky Huawei offer rooted versions of this phone. The hardware by itself is far superior...it's a same there's a lot of bugs and problems letting it down though...and then there's EMUI...

have you received your replacement device yet ? and if so how is it ?
Hi, i just received my 9s. Luckily it didnt have screen bleeding but upon checking closely i noticed some shadow around the punchhole more prominently on the bottom. Its quite noticeable on a certain angle and in white background. Do you guys have it too? Pls state your lcd manufacturer too if you dont mind. I have tianma display if that helps. Thank you
Update: so i went to an Xiaomi outlet. I compared my 9s to the display unit 9s, the display unit doesnt have shadows around the notch and edge. The colors are very even, its near perfect. I did check the lcd manufacturer, its huaxing.
Yes, i have it too. The shadow is there. I usually use dark/black themes and this helps a lot because that shadow is not visible anymore. Also my panel is without screen bleeding too. Cheers!
I have a tianma display too and yes the shadow is quite visible on the camera punch hole but no bleading issues on the side screen. I think the bleeding issues is visible on huaxing display only.

If its possible, you can go to your local xiaomi store and check their 9s display unit if it is has the same issue as we do. I myself cant do it because my city is in lockdown again. Let me know too

Well got the replacement and it too has the same issues. I guess that's some cost cutting measure by Xiaomi. I wanted to ask you a different question. I found a glitch where when you rotate your screen to the left side there's a short black glitch for 0.5 sec. I've attached a ss. See if you have this issue?
