A friend of mine had an similar problem with his SII.
a pink field began to grow in a corner of the screen and it went bigger and bigger until the whole Screen had very strange colors. He was very lucky because Samsung changed his display for free because of warranty.
It looked very similar to your photo...

Hm wierd because the display should new.
But sadly i dont have the reciept for the phone. Maybe i can just talk to samsung directly, and ask if its still supported by the warranty.
But thank you very much for your input!
i would still like to here if there is a quick fix or anything.

I'm not sure you are referring to the issue that made the screen gradually faded to a lighter color on one side, that was a software issue fixed on recent ROM releases.
99% have that tint? Ive never seen it in real life... Mine is normal, no yellow/blue tint, I got it at release day.

And you've seen 5,999,999 phones to be able to draw this conclusion? Some people have problems and in certain regions exchanges seem to be coming from the same batches so I can see why it may seem widespread. It's not or more people on the forum would be *****ing.
Mine had this issue and after replacing screen it has it again but little less. Mine frend has it too. so conclusion is only blind people think they dont have it

I don't think I am that blind compared my screen to a new sg2 I don't see the yellow or blue ting I purchased mine Aug 3rd. Is anyone who purchased their SGII in North America having this issue or is it just the first release batch outside of North America that is having this problem? Some on asked for a screen shot so we can all see what your looking at how about it.

None of tge SGS II has a yellow lcd display issue.... the SGS II doesn't have lcd but oled
Anyway it's a non-issue, if you really don't like the color balance of your display you just change it using chainfire3d pro

you know what they say thou beauty is in the eye of the beholder , so im guessing most people either a don’t notice it , or b simply live with it.
I showed my first phone which was quite bad to numerous people some people spotted it straight away and was shocked like me, others didn’t but did notice it when pointed out, but said they could live with it on another note they all noticed the pink spot instantly anyhow .....
I’ve had 2 now both from different batches and awaiting third tomorrow ive checked the device out in numerous shops and they all had it to various degrees along with smear / ghosting text (which not many people seem to complain about). Reminds me of when Sony released there flagship tv the x3500 followed by the led version the x4500 both of these flagship tvs had smear / ghosting. This was acknowledged as a draw back of that technology as the panel needed to warm up.
However Samsung haven’t said anything in relation to this i.e. if its a fault or a drawback with the technology which leaves most people who are unhappy with there device swapping it endlessly looking for a perfect / working model free from yellow tint or pink spot when in reality there is no such device.
thanks bcoz of ur replays.
but today i c one of my friends that have sgs2 and they sgs2 have not this issue )
i root and install cm7,criscelo,Villain,litening but i never c yellow issue in left side
NOW I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW SGS2 WITH OK LED :d
THANKS

You can replace the screen a million times, the software is the culprit... the issue has been fixed by Samsung. They adjusted the screen sensors to distribute evenly the light intensity.
Fun test for yawl... If you find the "tint" noticeable... Go to display settings, turn OFF the option that says "Auto adjust screen power"
viola.
No more tint.
however, only a true black pixel is "off" now, and battery might suffer, I haven't played too much with it, but I noticed it.
It is a software issue, but the reason some people see it more often than others, is simply the color of the images and text that they display on their screen more often. OLED will always have "warmer" tones than a standard LCD, you can tweak the software to cool them, but they are noted for VIVID color, not accurate color

[Q] Does anybody knows a good service to replace the screen in UK?

I just got the phone this morning and I had it in my pocket, I have touched the wall by mistake and I heard a "crack" sound... yes, it was the screen of my brand new phone. The Galaxy S3 is very fragile, I still have my (1 year old) Galaxy S2 and that one survived to many accidents. This one I would not recommend... the screen is too fragile... now back to the subject, does anyone know any good service near London or a site were I can buy a new screen?
Thank you!
Can't answer your question about service but I know what you mean about the S2 screen. Months ago I jumped on my S2's screen three times in a row really hard because I was peed of with it and it never cracked. Wish they stayed with the original glass on S3 as S2.
its the size of the screen that makes it weaker... all the big screen phones are much easier to break.. the s2 was a strong phone but stretching to the 4.8 screen on the s3 has made it weaker
There is 2 places in wimbledon that will do it . You can walk in and wait while it's done . But you'll have to make sure they have what you need in ...
Giving it some beans on my blue s3

I've had it on every iPhone and every Android device I've ever used. It should really only be visible when taking a picture of something lightly colored and even (like a blank piece of white paper). Generally it shouldn't be noticeable at all in regular photos.
Moved To Q&A​
Please post in the correct section​
that is depressing... my little brother just got the S3 att, and it doesnt have the same problem. it's very noticeable taking pictures in my home.
so im guessing every unit has this problem?

[Q] SGS2 screen went pink with some other distorted colours

I have rooted my I9100 GT model several times, this is for the first time facing the challenge after installing some fonts using root manager on 4.1.2 leaked stock rom.
I went to samsung service centre last day and they tried by changing LCD display without having any serious test. still the problem is there, I reverted back to my original screen. I tried many official/custom roms. Now my screen often goes all pink for a split second. Some times the screen looks fine sometimes like purple/pink ink spilled here and there..Even the authorised service centre guys don't know to resolve..:crying:
Any idea anyone faced this challege?? Please help me to solve this issue..plzzzzzzzz
Still no solutions, suggestions, replies
Look for LCD test code(ussd) then try all colors.
Send form Galaxy S2. But I don't have it :-\

I already checked that but no use all colours worked well..(RGB). I guess this is a type of LCD bleeding problem. Has anyone here know about that. Any info about the LCD digitizer..

[Q] How quickly Galaxy S2 screen shows burn in

Hello everyone. If its posted in wrong category then please Move it.
I'm interested in buying Galaxy S2 (used one) for playing. I want to know that how many people reported burn in issues with their S2 ?
Is its common in S2 or very rare ? I found a S2 without any burn-in issues. so how many chances are there that it will show burn-in ?

Nor did I...can you explain us Panjgoori,what do you mean by burn in?
If you display bright static images on the screen for long enough/often enough, you will get burn in to one degree or another. I don't think you'd find a phone on the market today where this isn't the case.
As to how noticeable the burn in is, that's another thing entirely. Many of the cases I've seen on here you'd have to turn the brightness right up & have a completely blank screen/the right background to notice it I.E you probably wouldn't notice it using the phone day to day.
Don't let this kind of thing stop you buying any phone, chances are you won't even notice it if it does happen.
I'm having that problem. I've bought the GALAXY S2 GT-I9100 3 days ago by Amazon.com. A family member brought me the phone to Argentina, and just now, after 24 hours of that I give in my hands, I discovered this problem. The truth is that I'm super disappointed with Samsung and bought by Amazon.com thinking it would be all 100% OK, but apparently not. The problem is that in Argentina this Cellphone is discontinued and costs the twice that this costs...
Seba, show us a pic.
You can still buy it in mercadolibre, it's kinda cheap right now.

I couldn't take a picture yet.
PD: No se que decis de mercadolibre, ¿donde lo ves barato? 4 lucas te parece barato? yo lo pague menos de $2000 por amazon.
I saw it around 1900 - 2300 pesos in mercadolibre.
Why can't you take a pic? Don't you already have the device?
Sent from...this is not even my S2
I have this 'problem'. The old Whatsapp lay-out+contact name/photo is burned into my screen. However, I only see it when my screen is almost white.
