Just got my Inc4G, and there is a yellowish tint/hue at the top of the screen. Anyone else have this problem. Its pretty noticeable on a white background.
Not on my unit that I can tell. Guess just get replacement unit.

Nope, no issues here.
Seems the issues has gone away, all is good now!

Soooo, how long did it take for this discoloration to go away? Because I just realized that I've got it too.
I only noticed it when I turned the brightness all the way up and played an episode of "Firefly" on Netflix to kill the battery. When the phone automatically turned off, the discoloration was very obvious against the whiteness of the splash screen. I usually keep the screen brightness fairly low to conserve battery, plus my wallpapers are rarely brightly colored. I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.
(And this is why I've never been an early adopter; I like for the bugs to be worked out before I buy something. Damn you, Verizon, for forcing me to an early upgrade.)
Took about 5 hours of on screen time

Well, the iPhones/iPads had this problem. It's simply the adhesive that bonds the display to the glass. It likely hasn't fully cured and using the phone is enough to heat it up and have it fully cure

Yeah, this is weird. It's gone now. The screen has been off for the past several hours while I slept. I wonder if it will come back after a few hours use. I certainly hope not. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this?

^ read up one.
Had this issue as well... it hadn't gone away by today so I returned mine and got a new one.
The discoloration is back now. I've had the phone in my possession for just over 24 hours but I don't think the screen on time has exceeded five hours. If it doesn't permanently go away in the next weeek I suppose I'll try my first phone exchange at Best Buy.

Yeah, that's why I plan on giving it a week before I try to exchange it. I've been putting on a Netflix video and just letting it run too. Hopefully that will hasten this discoloration's permanent disappearance.

Ok, this is annoying. I exchanged my phone and the new phone has the same exact issue. Must be a bad batch.

First post here, hello all. Got my phone on friday last week and noticed a yellow spot (mine was in the lower right, basically on top of the 4th icon in the default dock)
I believe this is spot due to heat. It will show up when I am messing with the phone a lot, but if I set it down or power it off it will go away. I am not surprised to see others are having the same issue, but I was a little surprised to see that the spots were in different locations. I figured there was an especially hot component house behind my spot.
Interesting...
I have two of these phones now with no issues. Must be some bad batches out there... *sigh* c'mon HTC, quality control.

I also cannot report having this issue. However, for the people who do have the issue, considering how cool this phone runs, I'm not sure general use would be enough to heat it up to a temperature that would affect the adhesive if that's the problem. Maybe leave the phone on the charger at max brightness on a white screen for a while?

The employees at Best Buy also thought it's due to heat. I honestly think it's just a few bad batches. I exchanged my phone at the same Best Buy where I originally purchased the phone, and second phone has the same discoloration in the same exact spot as the first phone. I plan on exchanging my phone one last time before the 30 day exchange period is up and hopefully the batch in stock at that time won't have this issue.

On two occasions I tried watching a few shows on Netflix on full brightness for at least an hour. After the hour was up, the discoloration was definitely more visible; there was no lessening of the spots. Perhaps I didn't run it long enough.

I think we should start taking pictures and circling the spots. I will post mine later tonight. If it is indeed some screen defect or adhesive problem, that could explain why it was happening in different spots (if it is) If the heat spots are clustered in one area, maybe there is some specific component producing heat in that area that is discoloring it locally.

Got my Note 2 about 2 weeks or so ago and like it so far. However, I notice it runs pretty warm consistently. Using system tuner, the temp is upper 40s°C Most of the time. And this is just sitting in my pocket, not gaming or anything intensive. Anybody experience this? The screen is pretty warm and is even uncomfortable to hold to my ear. Any help is appreciated. I did look and didn't find too many threads about it with the Note 2, and apologize if I missed any. Thanks!

I was sitting out in the cold at a dog park playing N64oid for a couple hours, never could feel any heat from my phone at all. I never have.
Man, I hope that doesnt mean something is wrong with the phone. I just restarted it and I immediately started feeling heat from the screen when it turned on. Are there any ways to see if an app or something is the cause rather than hardware, etc? I'm trying to keep an eye on any apps I downloaded and might reset the phone as a next step...

Your device probably has a lack of thermal paste on the motherboard or they didn't put enough past in between the display.

Have you run any benchmarks? If there is an issue then it won't be good for the phone, but it'll tell you if it's throttling from heat issues. You also may be able to trade it at verizon with just the heat issue since it's noticeable so fast, but I'm not sure..
Ran a benchmark and everything seemed fine for that test. I'm resetting it now and will see if that makes a difference. I'm just past the two weeks and know I'd probably get a refurbished if I went to exchange it now. Everything else is working fine, so if this can be figured out then I'd much prefer to keep this one. Thanks for the advice guys. If anyone else knows something else to check before I possibly exchange it, that'd be great!

We have the same issue.. First install the android tuner, remember that the battery temp is not the same as the CPU temp.
I have my note that sits 38-42 CPU temp when Idle and 28-32 battery temp.
When I am browsing I could really feel the heat on the upper part of the screen. my CPU temp rise to 47-50 and my battery temp rises to 32-34.
Check your note.
I was browsing rhrough the forums and saw that you had the same problem too. My CPU temp is about 42C idle and goes up to 50 or just over when doing pretty much anything. My battery is about 33C at idle

Where did your note made from? What country? Mine came from china and assembled in vietnam.
Ill check in a little while. I tried resetting it and it was doing better at first but doing the same thing again. Easily going over 50C if I'm just in the camera for about 30 seconds and most ither apps. Might just exchange it, even if I get a refurb, and take my chances

I doubt verizon stores would have gotten refurbished phones by now. I exchanged mine last saturday for other reasons and got a new one.
My phone has never overheated (unlike my Razr maxx constantly did), this thing is a beast.can't wait to get my kickstand case.

Turns out it was an app or two causing it. I think one culprit was running wallpapers through picspeed instead of saving them first. Lesson learned and still monitoring cpu and battery usage. It's now running normal temps (low 30s even 28-29 sometimes when I first wake the screen). Thanks for the advice!

Hi all...thinking about getting a Smartband just have a quick question...
does it have to be connected to and near the phone all the time? So for example if I leave the phone in the house and go out in the garden do some stuff and come back to the phone will it connect again and sync everything that I have done whilst away from the phone?
Pretty much a deal breaker for me if it doesnt so would really like to know
Thanks!
It carries on working when unconnected to the phone, don't worry. When it reconnects, it syncs previous data.
Example, I turn my phone off at night and the band tracks sleep data and syncs in the morning when I turn the phone on.
The only issue I have (not with the band but with the Lifelog app) is that every two days or so, it appears as if it no longer collects data and shows no updates in the timeline. The first time this happened I tried all kinds of things to get it working again and ended up factory resetting. it still wouldn't log anything. However, I have discovered that after a period of time, the data miraculously appears and everything has been logged. I think this is either a bug which an app update will remedy, or maybe something server side with Sony.
Either way, if you see stuff not appearing in your timeline, don't worry, it will show up later.
Great thanks for the reply...now going to see where I can get the best deal on one!

I did not dry it after shower. I take it off only for charging.
I didn't test it underwater yet, but it should be fine according to Sony:
Your SmartBand is waterproof and dust resistant in compliance with the Ingress Protection (IP) rating IP58, as explained in the table below.
This specific IP rating means that your SmartBand is dust resistant and is protected against low pressure water stream as well as against the effects of immersion for 30 minutes in fresh (non-saline) water up to 3 metres deep.
You can use your SmartBand:
in dusty environments, for example, on a windy beach.
when your fingers are wet.
in some extreme weather conditions, for example, when it’s snowing or raining.
in fresh (non-saline) water depths of 3 metres or less, for example, in a fresh water lake or river.
in a chlorinated swimming pool.

Have you installed the software? You can only use one application at a time. To activate it press the button once and tap on the smartband on top of it, not the button. You have to press it before the three LEDs flashes.

After pressing the button once you have about 15 seconds to make a gesture, like tapping on top of the band to start the musicplayer or tapping twice to play the next song.

Might have something to do with it only being used as a charging port, as opposed to a data and charging port.
Though honestly, I don't really see how water could get inside the band anyways- creates a pretty decent seal.

Water can go in usb port but that won't harm your device.
It's just like jack on top of your Z1/Z2 - no matter it's opened - it's waterproof.
You can go swimming with smartband without any worries, it'll be OK.
That's the whole idea, swimming, running, showering, sleeping with it... - That device should monitor your life, I guess that's why they pick name LifeLog...
I didn't believe in this thing, now my brand new smartwatch sleeps in a drawer while I'm using smartband - it's 10 times better and useful then smartwatch...

Did you leave your phone on the dash, in a closed car, at the sun? Especially the black version of Xperia? Black color is the color that accumulates the heat from sun the most, which results in your Xperia just toasting inside. I cannot imagine how hot it become on the inside and outside. Software might not help with this, you might have simply melted some connections or something like that...

Can I know which rom version you are using right now ? Because before I update my D6503 to 402 , I also have the same problem. But it's not about heat I guess. If you have ever run any huge 3D game under hot sun, then see how hot the body can be. It still work fine in that situation . So try to update it to last version and see how it going ?

Clearly you can't read. The phone is certified to withstand water correct. Water does not mean heat. Heat and water are two different things. Google them and you will see as it seems you have a difficulty with understanding the difference.
Disappointed? That's user error. Not the phones fault. You should have not left it in the heat. The phone can't walk or go somewhere else.
If you want something that works in heat get a Nokia brick or something.
Sense these days is uncommon now.

Guys obviously can't realised how hot could dashboard be...
(great link, mate - it's incredibly how hot can it be)
My buddy had car with a leather seats, in a middle of the summer he left his car on a direct sun for hours.
Believe it or not, when he sit in a shorts, he fried his legs and end up in a hospital...
I'm not trying to say Z2 couldn't be colder when it's working but would like you to do same test with S5 or m8 and post results...
Problem isn't in 60-70C temperature, problem is because car become an owen and keep temperature at 60,70 maybe even hoter for hours...

it was about half an hour to 40 mins the phone was in this temp .. god forbid any one that buy this phone in a warmer climate than the UK on a warm day then ! funny thought ... the phone manufactures themselves ARE in a LOT hotter climates than the UK sorry but a phone should have tolerances built in .. if you can only use a device between certain temps or conditions . not a lot of good to average man that need a phone they can rely on wherever they are and what conditions

Haha....
Well....I must admit you are right in some way...and I'm very happy Sony is working on overheating problem.
But, if you don't install air-conditioned back cover - try to move your device from direct sun.
When I'm in the car, I never put my device(s) "on sun" - that's just not smart thing to do..

You want heat? Come on down to my neck of the woods in Thailand... Its so hot here, you sweat taking a shower. Any event. Direct sunlight magnifies several degrees hotter when penetrating curved glass such as that of a windshield. I'm surprised the phone didn't melt away

Nah for that he'll have to place the fone in front of the Walkie Talkie building here in London. That building melts cars parked in front of it.

Just wanted to share my stupid experience, it works fine in showers and dipping it in water, though after a swim, it stopped working... So its more like weatherproof than waterproof, just so u guys dont make the same mistake i did, its dead, hoping i can get a new one but i doubt it
Google IP67 rating.

Just got back from Mexico. Put the gear s through its paces, i.e. beach, pool, snorkeling and it still works like a champ.

I took mine into a kiddie pool, definitely not a meter and less than 30 minutes for sure. It has no power, so I left it in my car, with the SIM door open for two days. Now, it has power, I can send and receive texts, but battery life is awful (2-3 hours) and no has no audio.
I made sure the door was secure before taking it into the water. I was going to hit Samsung to see if they would replace it, citing the IP67 certification.
Has anyone had any luck with Samsung regarding this?
Good luck, I can't even get the cradle replaced for a prong breaking off...not even 5 months old
