White areas around the edge of screen?? Will that be the faulty "Yellow Thing"?
I have noticed today that my Sony Xperia S when it the battery level is low (almost 10%) the screen is has white liens along the inner edges of the screen (uneven lines with fainter color).
Now can anyone tell me is it the same problem that you talked about and needs to be replaced by the agent? And will the agent will replace just the screen or the full set?

Thanks for answering in any direction!
You are RIGHT!!!
Yes, the photo you posted here is exactly the issue that ppls are discussing about.
Its Yellow Tint Issue...
Me too...
About the replacement? I'm waiting for the reply from sony service center,
they told me that they will replace my display only, but not the full set of phone. (SAD)
btw, your photo were taken during March, but you just post it now? Hehe
They told me I have to wait for 2 more months, early July they will have new replacement screens, tint-free

I see the yellow gradient at the bottom all the time when I look directly to the phone, but it's gone when I tilt up about 10 degree.
been meaning to get mine repaired, sony are upstairs in the building I'm in so may just see if they can book it in without calling up. takes ages to get through

What do you mean "you should get fixed" that don't we get it fixed by the sony care centre?
Hi all I have the same issue with OP here. Just want to ask, do I need a warranty card or something to get the free fix, or do I just need to show them the yellow tint?
I got my phone from a carrier and I didn't find any warranty document in the box. Plus, my yellow tint only show up occasionally.
Please advise thanks.

As per my post in the main screen thread, if you bought it locally bring it back to the shop! I'm 99% sure that Australia will have similar consumer law to the british isles where responsibility is with the retailer. Go to them and tell them "its not fit for purpose" and insist they repair or replace it.
Here actually, I'm bored so:
Summary
A consumer has the right to a remedy if goods or services do not meet a
consumer guarantee.
The consumer guarantees apply to both major (serious) and minor problems.
The type of remedy, and who must provide it, will depend on the problem and
which consumer guarantee was not met.
Gift recipients have the same rights as a consumer who has bought goods directly.
ACL reference: Division 1 of Part 5-4

What sort of problems do
the consumer guarantees
deal with?
Consumer guarantees apply to both
major and minor failures with goods
and services.
What is a major failure?
A major failure with goods is when:
> a reasonable consumer would not
have bought the goods if they had
known about the problem. For
example, no reasonable consumer
would buy a washing machine if
they knew the motor was going to
burn out after three months

Have a read, if the staff in store see you know your rights they'll be less likely to give you the run around.
I had the same thing on my Xperia S for a day or 2, and then it disappeared...?
(im stuck with a dead pixel though)
I experienced that yellow teint too, but the problem isn't always visible. I think I will take it to the shop where I bought it when I have time.
Does anyone know if Sony has fixed this problem? I contacted a seller on eBay and they said that they have received new stock last week and they assume that it does not have this problem.
Can someone please confirm if the new batches are yellow-tint free?
Has anyone from the UK sent theirs back yet?
I took mine back to the Carphone Warehouse who told me they couldn't replace it, only send it back for repair. Seeing someone post on the previous page saying there won't be new screens until July, I'm apprehensive about sending it back.

Hi fellas,
I have recently bought a new HTC HD2 phone and it arrived a few days ago from Hong Kong.
Other than checking IMEI, is there any way to find out if the phone is a fake/replicate one from the phone appearance, etc.?
If I had known there are any fake HTC phones, I would have bough from more reputable retailers. I really didn't think the modern technology of HTC Hd2 can be faked...
Any idea would be appreciated.
If you can upload pictures that would be great. If its from Hong Kong and you bought it on eBay for a super low price its most likely fake. But you can tell if its real when while operating it the phone should feel like a badass piece of equipment. Or compare it to the people who show theirs on YouTube.

Look at the difference between Revisions of the two different parts of the box:

img571.imageshack.us/img571/5381/img5656m.jpg (REV A ) look at the red arrow
Why they should differ in Revision? Is your phone boxing is the same?

And two pics from from the battery section.
img585.imageshack.us/i/img5658.jpg/
Is the IMEI stickers color inside of your phone is grayish? Or is it white? ( mine is grayish )
img38.imageshack.us/img38/4948/img5659n.jpg
Is the only word on your battery is "HTC"?
Thanks buddy
Our phone boxes are 500% different, when i get home i'll upload a picture of mine for you to see.
As for the phone itself i noticed a few differences b/w yours and mine, (NOTE) phones can get modified by the company and be released in a new batch to fix errors from first release.
But in the picture where the back of your phone was showing, at the bottom left theres a red dot.. On mine it's yellow, at the very top of that theres a white dot, mine is black. Small variations nothing too drastic, but as i said, when i get home (Currently in school) i will edit this post with pictures of mine.
The battery is the same

Thanks mate. But I would delete the last image because all your phone specifications are visible...
Other than the box, our phones are almost similar.
I just tried to upgrade my ROM and received this message: The serial number you’ve provided appears to be invalid. Please try again.
So I am still worried.

If you meant your phone specifications in the images provided, I have heard they can clone your phone using your phone specifications. So I would delete it soon!

just to say, mine looks exactly like urs. the battery not, but ur battery is just a newer version than mine my friends got the same...
oh and the box looks like mine too, but i dont know my revision
lets just say, if its a t8585 and runs as it should, and if u can flash custom roms, run android and so on, its real. and i really think its real

When I received my HTC Amaze, the camera had absolutely no issues. Since that time, I have, essentially, "garaged" my phone. I installed a Steinheil screen protector on it and have kept the phone in my room. Today, however, when I attempted to use the camera application, I was met with absolute failure. Whenever the camera detects a light source, lines flash across the screen and the camera application temporarily freezes. Pictures can be taken, but they have "digital" lines and sensor errors across them (example picture). Sometimes, the image is shown twice, over a horizontal "split screen".
I have no idea what could have caused this, my device is entirely stock.
I have reset my phone and the issue is not caused by fluorescent lighting.
This is my third replacement phone (I had two replacements for my Sensation). I want a working phone.
The screen protector is worth $7.50...
As far as I know you can't do anything else, and even rooting might not help. I know it sucks, I got the Amaze instead of a 4th mytouch4g, but getting another one is your best bet. I haven't seen or heard about this type of issue, you prob got a fluke. HTC's quality control isn't the best...

Hmm I'm not sure you can really call that a "known" issue.
My sister, her boyfriend, my brother and I all have an Amaze.
No problems with our phone.
Honestly though if I picked up my phone and my screen did that number I'd call and get a warranty exchange with a quickness.
No need to post or ask about it cause it's pretty obvious it's a defect.
"Known", in that it is now something that exists. That is why I extend the statement by mentioning the purpose is to establish the issue in the situation that another individual has the problem.
Phone was 100% stock.
I am now on my fourth T-Mobile replacement. The replacement that I just received has the antenna connectors broken off.

AFAIK, most of them have the first batch, i.e. 12W08~12W10, rev AAAB.
I don't think that knowing the batch or week where it comes from would be of any help since Sony hasnt given any clear cut-off or official statement on when or what batch we need to find to have a defect-free screen.

Yes this is the problem because Sony hasnt provided us with any clear info. Its very clear that its a hardware issue and its also easy to determine if it has it or not. But what i am after is to know on what batch is it safe to buy the Xperia S. I already bought one and sold it because i cannot claim warranty because it was a grey import. I would want to buy again but i want to make sure that it does not have that problem anymore since its really a hassle to exchange it when the problem occurrs. I am located in the Philippines and excahnges here are really a hassle and most Sony reps here are ignorant of the problem.

w16 means week 16 and would also mean that its produced later than w13 thereby chances of having the yellow tint is lesser provided that sony really did fix the problem.

Take it back. Why would you keep something with an obvious defect when they will exchange it with hardly an explanation? Walk in an tell them what's wrong and you'd like an exchange. They will do it.
It may very well be a dead pixel. Dead pixels are not all that rare. I'd say go to/call sprint and say you want a replacement. Who knows how long it will take for you tovget one though.
I would definitely bring it back....it does look like a dead pixel. I had the same problem with my old 2g iPhone and after a few months of use the dead pixel went straight across the screen overnight. Dont wait just tell them you are not satisfied and want a new one. At least you know too that you wont be getting a refurb this early in the game.

That's the only problem with 'take it back', you might have to wait a while. Its not that easy. Sprint stores still have preorders they need to fill as well (which they haven't done yet).
Agreed, swap that sucker out. Good luck on finding one though.. Hopefully the stock issues will get taken care of swiftly.
I had to return my OG evo within the first 30 days because it had the crack by the power button on the casing. Turns out, most of them eventually did this, but they replaced it and before they were giving out refurbs.

If you call them they will drop ship you one just as easily too...I'd call around and see if the stores have any in stock(not likely though)....If not just call and you'll get one shipped to ya for less hassle for going into the store and likely just as fast if they dont have any in stock right now at the store...

I got told this as well for my proximity sensor problem. They told me they are not allowed to just ship another phone out... such bull****.
I have a similar spec of dust under the screen in mine. It's so small I barely notice it. Unless there are more serious issues with the device, i'm not going to lose sleep over it or bother returning it.
This spec is only noticeable on a white background. I'm not OCD enough to be bothered by this When viewing the phone in a bright environment (outside), you don't see it at all. Having a spec of dust under the screen protector is much more noticeable than this.
Like many pre-orders, I received mine on Thursday.
I was disappointed, however, that the seal has been broken and there were scuffles and smudges in the back near the camera.
Perhaps, mine was opened by US Customs to examine.
I'm wondering if there are many others out there who received their phones in similar condition.
Also, I couldn't find any headphones included. Is that right?

The serial number, hex and dec number on my box were different from the ones on my phone. I had all kinds of problems getting it activated until i pulled the back cover and saw different numbers. The tech support guy at sprint i was on the phone with said he has only seen that 1 or 2 times in the several years hes been there. Customs must have taken it out of the box and put it in another.
Yall are just the unlucky bastards.
1st guy... Probably did check Yours and the agent didn't give a crap.
2nd guy... Lol that is 100 percent the agent was a retard. My of broke it and put a different one in it.
Cough get dna... Background cough
Wow that really sucks....I hope you can get that replaced...or at least replace the top plastic.
i'd be madd pissed.
denggg.. so did the customs agents just randomly open boxes to check? i thought maybe they'd take one from each batch or just one period for investigation. rediculous.

Like many pre-orders, I received mine on Thursday.
I was disappointed, however, that the seal has been broken and there were scuffles and smudges in the back near the camera.
Perhaps, mine was opened by US Customs to examine.
I'm wondering if there are many others out there who received their phones in similar condition.
Also, I couldn't find any headphones included. Is that right?

Damn this is making me glad I just pre ordered a couple days ago and am getting the 2nd batch so mine doesn't show up like this :sly:

Since nobody answered: no they didn't come with headphones.
I hope you get some kind of compensation.

The numbers being switched isn't customs. It was an error htc made. Check out some other threads or insidesprintnow.wordpress.com
Maybe the ups guy just wanted to play with your phone not many people have laid eyes on the thing
ISN said phones opened by customs would not be reinserted back to the general pool of evos on their way out for shipment

Maybe the phone that was originally taken out - was NOT but back in, but they kept the packaging/labeling and threw in another phone? Hence the mismatch numbers. Just a guess Would probably be easier to open a box with no label and just put that phone in the labeled box.

All the phones I have ever had come with headphones (and micro SD too). Odd.
It's a $500-$600 phone, and doesn't include headphones. That's quite perturbing.

That's really sh1tty. Sorry to hear that.
@other
OG Evo didn't come with headphones either. Box. Phone. Charger.

My last 2 phones were the EVO, and the EVO 3D, neither of which came with headphones. The way I see it is the headphones that come with phones are usually pretty crappy and I'd rather have them spend that few cents on improving the build quality of the phone. They're most likely going to cut corners somewhere to pay for the headphones they include.

When i was at best buy the dude next to me was playing with his until the tech said that he was unable to do something for the account, so the guy left. I wonder who gets that phone?
