I experienced it today for about a minute and, it was just a yellow tint over the screen. My screen went back to normal after a minute or so. So the question is has this ever happened to any of you guys???
No. Your phone is probably going to explode soon.

This. I used to have an E4GT and then I got the YSOD and 5 minutes later my phone exploded, shrapnel flying everywhere. Still have a piece of the screen lodged in my groin, doctors said they can't take it out because the risk of losing my junk was too high. Was going to replace it but honestly, it's not worth the risk. Decided to play it safe and got an iPhone 4S instead.
Be careful OP, the YSOD is serious sh*t.

A yellow tint over the screen can be two things. Either your ribbon cable connecting your screen to the board is loose or damaged (new screen will fix the problem) or the GPU on your board was overheating (whole new phone if it burns up). Are you running any custom ROMs? What were you doing when it happened? Have you dropped your phone?

It happened about 20 mins. after using odin to go to stock ek02 I was reading an article in wikipedia and all of a sudden everything had a yellow tint I thought it might just be the site but, then I found it was the entire phone screen. I wasn't doing anything that could have overloaded the gpu and, I haven't dropped my phone at all. After a quick google search I found that it could be a software problem since some other people have also had this problem but, it could also be a defect with the screen.... If you have any ideas please let me know.

Also it went away after a minute or so and, has not come back. I have had no problems with anything rendering from the gpu other then this quick glitch.

No. I took a grenade to the head back in 'Nam. At the time they didn't have all these fancy surgical reconstruction techniques that they have now.

I have had the Sprint Epic 4G Touch since launch day and today everything on my screen turned into a deep shade of red for a couple of minutes and I thought it was a dead screen I would have to return to Sprint and then the normal color returned out of nowhere. Does anyone know if this is something I triggered or was this just a glitch? The home button, screen off/on, changing screens did not fix this problem. All functions were working from what I could tell and I could make everything out on the screen and it was bright but everything was a shade of red.
My phone is stock and I have Go Launcher running on it with many Go Widgets. I had about 50% battery from what I remember. I may have had the Words With Friends application running at the time if anything. I have a few emulators and ROMs on my external sdcard that were not running but everything else on my phone is normal.
Thos happened to me also. i am rooted with stock kernal. was weird. i rebooted and hasnt done it since then.

it happened to me once since I got my phone but hasnt since. It reminds me of the red render effect in CM 7. That's the best way to describe it.
It's similar to this, not exact but similar..

this also happened to me once for a few minutes...freaked me out...went back to normal and not since
Since a screen shot was made
Its probably a bug sammy overlooked
If we blast sammy's twitter about they will be forced to give us that update
Why you ask
Because the other variants of the gs2 hasnt come out yet and if they wait super long to give us these updates chances are less ppl will buy the gs2 for t mobile and att

This is extremely close to how it looked on my screen. I tried recreating it but couldn't. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Like I said everything was functional I just thought the screen took a nose dive on me. I'll blast sammy's twitter also.
I've had the same strange red shade. Thought maybe it was a hardware problem; glad to see it wasn't just me.
I've had another weird screen mode issue - "safe mode." No idea what this meant, but didn't notice any limitations. Just had a little shaded rectangle at the bottom left of the screen no matter what I did. Had to restart the phone to make it go away.
I've also had a warning that I was overheating the battery by flying through Manhattan in Google Earth with 3D rendering turned on. Not a bug - just didn't think it would be possible to pull that off when the phone is in an environment of standard room temperature.
See the attached screenshots.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to remove the battery to replace with a 3800mah one, but it's stuck and I can't get it out. I've tried wedging the damn thing out and it still doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I destroyed the battery because I can't turn my phone on now, I just want this thing out, what should I do?

But the phone turned on before? What compelled you to need to take out the battery in the first place? Sounds defective from the start.

@op - try using a screwdriver or something to pry the battery out...if you are screwing around i'm going to be mad..i'm assuming its really stuck and you have taken the battery door off.
It's actually stuck lol, i've watched videos where it seems so easy to take out, anyway of taking this out without damaging the phone?

I've searched all the burn in threads and don't see anything like this. I use my phone as an alarm clock on a dock; a couple of days ago I noticed what looked like little yellow squares on white pages. It was driving me nuts so I took a screenshot and nothing was there; I used another phone and took a picture to email to myself. When I enlarge it I can clearly see it is clock numbers. The phone is still under warranty and I opened a ticket for repair but can't get a clear answer from the service personal; does anyone know if this is covered under warranty?

I use the genuine Google dock and the Alarm clock moves around the screen thus avoiding the burn in you have, just a thought in case they replace your phone and you dont want it to happen again
Aaaaaaa! Is that what will become of all our GalNexes eventually?
Would something like this go away over time?

Unfortunately not. This will not go away usually. The image is "burned in". The technical term for it is "Image Persistence".
Just Google for a 10h white YouTube video and run it for awhile, it should be fine then. No need to send it in..
Beamed from my Grouper.
I guess I have nothing to lose so I plugged it in and turned it on. Fingers crossed and thank you!

Some sort of Pixel test would have been better it has an all white screen.

Wouldn't youtube be fullscreen too since it's a video?
That has got to be the most severe case of burn-in I've seen yet. I'm curious as to the results of the 10h white video. Be sure to report back!
I used this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9___k_6srY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I tested this one, it's full screen.

Unfortunately it seemed to make no difference. I ran it for 3 hours; the only change was an overheating battery.

I just got my replacement phone from Sprint and there are some things that are different from the phone that I got at Radio Shack in July. The pictures were taken with my old S2, which is now my mom's so that's why it has a pink care.
First, the colors of the phone are different. The new phone is more of a grayish color. The replacement phone is on the left and the old phone is on the right.

Next, the power buttons have different sized icons and again you can see the color difference. New phone on top old one on bottom.
Finally, the home buttons are completely different. The new one is a purplish color and is long and short while the old one is a gray color and is short and tall. The new one is on the left and the old one is on the right.
Also, the buttons are much more clicky and I like that, but they squeak sometimes.
So, which phone do you have?
I got the exact one you got in July. Also got my at launch .I think they changed a few things because the pebble blue was in such demand and they couldn't keep up with production and probably used a third party to help. Which is why some are different .

I got the white phone so I don't know
There was some cosmetics issues that kept appearing in the original pebble(the one you previously had) and Samsung fixed those issues with the next pebble blue(the one you have now).

It must've been pretty shortly after the main production where they switch the color. I bought my phone maybe a month or 2 months after lunch and it too also has more of a gray appearance like the replacement you received. However I'll be getting that phone replaced because it's dead now so make sure to let you know what my replacement looks like.

Last night i disassembled my E4GT because my power button was sticky. Ive done this quite a few times so its not i dont know what im doing. After pulling out the button and cleaning it. I reassembled the phone and have no service. It goes in and out of roaming with no bars whatsoever. Also loses all network all together by showing the cicle with a line through it. I do have working 4g as im sending this message using the device. Gps works and i cant test wifi as i dont have it. Im probably going to go to my sprint tepair center but just curious if anyone could provide some feedback.
Edit. I can get a signal roaming but will not connect to sprint network. Also updated prl from a custom corporate prl. But cannot update profile

Sounds like your antenna isn't making a clean connection with the motherboard. You will need to disassemble it again to check that. Hopefully the leaf springs that make that contact are not damaged.

On the bright side, I had my phone replaced last week and they didn't lie when they said it was over nighted. Got it quick. I hope you have the same experience with them.

Went to the sprint store today they said it got wet. I have no idea how this happened. There was a dried up water drop around the connectors. So I fuess I have to make an insurance claim. This is my fifth E4GT I have had in 8 months 2 where insurance claims this is getting pretty old. Thanks for the help it is appreciated.
