u might have knock lose the lcd screen inside. u might jus have to replace the lcd screen. u can find them cheap online. took me 20mins to change out mine.
I'd phone BT and ask for a replacement you are covered as long as you don't say what you did, especially if still within the 18 month contract or renewed, if a problem with the customer service reps then the C.E.O would be best bet as if push top they tend to deal with things.
Contact detail for CEO can be found on BT Anywhere Forum
If not under contract then there is a guide for replaceing screen in the sticky, i'd check the wires are not loose first.
Spose you already tried a hard-reset probably wont help but worth a try.
thanx

This morning my phone tried to commit suicide jumping in the toilets...
So, (i pass the details on how i put it out of it...) i tried to clean it and dry it whith a "towel dryer", and finally i opened it to dry the motherboard.
After butting pieces together i got the orange led when i charge the phone, but i got a boot loop when i power it on, and it won't even start if its not on charge.
I tried to go to bootloader mode but it's the same, i can barrely see the bootloader menu 1/2 second and then it reboots..
Any idea that could help me ? Thanks in advance
FUBAR - hardware damage. Send it to repair/replacement.
You want to put that next to your face still?
I studied uric acid ( urine ) as part of my degree, bar it being wonderful to look at ... perfect diamond crystals, it kills electrical circuits .
it' the way it "charged".. Ions etc , therefore as said before , if you did turn it on , you would of shorted out the system.
They will have to give you a new phone.. so it could be good news !!
Ok thanks, i will try the rice thing... if its not working i guess i will be stuck with a good old HTC Prophet until the Galaxy nexus is out...

Well, my phone stayed on my desktop this week-end, and this morning, it came back from the dead ! ( 4 days after the incident, in your face Jesus ! )
This phone is just legendary
Wow, the phone works after a dive into the peehole... Anyway, although it is still under warranty you can't replace it. They'll see the damage and they will charge you for it. I had mine replaced due to the overheating reboot problem and when i left it to the service they told me if it is damaged by me, either by drop or water i will have to pay.

If its like Apple , as the other have said , they will blame you , as you to pay . My work chum shut his phone in the car boot lock last year .. had to get a new screen , they blamed him .. he had to pay 80 quid to get a new screen ... ( the phone worked other wise .. and still does ! ) I have dropped my desire from my loft , it fell down the stairs and hit the front door... still all OK !!
Something i noticed when setting my wallpaper, I have always used a black wallpaper since i had the Galaxy s2 and Galaxy Nexus to "Save battery" but I went to set one on the s3 and notice on the bottom of the screen it appears to have a "scratch" buit it only appears when using a black background.
I have ran the LCD test *#0*# and it does not appear on any other color other than black... is this a common issue or should i attempt to get it replaced?
Anyone else with this? It is almost like a DARK STREAK that stands out...Im kinda of OCD when is comes to things like this, is this something i could take it back for? and if so do i just let them know my screen has a dark spot?
LCD test isn't working for me on my GS3. You sure it's *#0*#?
EDIT: Downloaded LCD test and on black screen, it is completely black (like the screen is off), which is what it's supposed to look like. You might have dead pixels or something?
OP you're not crazy. I read about that somewhere. **edit** found it. Is this what you're talking about? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715936

Would dead pixels show every other color fine?
Yes this is something you can exchange it for technically.
Ok im trying to recreate the problem but just like the link said Im not able to get the "darker" pixels to show in rooms with light...
What would I say when I get to best buy?

Tell them the truth. If they say "no" then ask for a manager. If the manager says "no" then ask to speak to the district manager. Just don't be mean about it and they should be able to help you. They most likely won't doubt you as they won't be able to test it since those damn stores are so bright. It'll just be easier for them to exchange it.

+1 or have one of their techs take it to the bathroom and turn off the lights.
I'm on my phone so I'm not up to digging up the links, but this has been discussed several times, both here and in the international version forums. They're usually referred to as "ink marks" and from what little I've read, they're on every single gsiii, and maybe even some other amoled devices including older galaxy S's.
I love my screen. However just last night I was curious so I installed the dead pixel test app from the market. In a dark room, on the black screen in that app, if you get your eyes focusing just right, you can see some black-er spots. It really doesn't bother me though, because I never notice them during normal usage.
I'm not saying to just ignore what you feel is a problem, but beware your replacement may have similar markings.
Why does the title of this thread have Sprint in it? carrier is irrelevant for this question.

What happens when you do a factory reset? Does it load into CWM?
you can access download mode so you can unbrick your phone
I think its not a hardware problem because you can see the lg logo
If you can access cwm menu , wipe user data and cash , then flash hono stock ics.
Then if the phone startup was successful check the hardware parts via hidden menu in stock roms.

Hello,
Guys i did the whole unbricking guide but still when i restart the phone it goes into grey screen when the phone start up even after flashing the stock ICS and the Gb(No i was not able to gain access to CWM). The phone goes into grey screen and wont start up to set the account but if i revome the batter for a few min i can start it back up and go through the google account set up. But after a while if someone called me in the phone i cant hear what they are saying and they can hear me, if i restart is grey screen of death again. :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thank you drumist for looking into this.
No i was not able to get into CWM. I have to do the unbricking guide to ICS was not able to go to GB as i cant root it goes into grey screen after the phone restarts while rooting causing the root to loose connection with the phone.
Please help.
I have the same problem. This is a problem in the system board. When pressed at a certain point the phone can turn on. I think the problem is contact a BGA chip

Yes this is the exactly the issue i am facing day by day it gets worst. The whole thing started after flashing CM10 ROM. the small bsod you get leads slowly into this. Guys i took real good care of my phone it never fell down from my hand nor does it have a scratch on it. never over did the flashing part as well, my advice is stick with the stock ICS. My Nitro is game over i bough a new Samsung s3. just a word of advice dont over do your beta flashing. :crying:

Please advice i tried every thing in the book and did not pull though.
You need to check the power IC, and make reballing
I was treated to the service (good repair workshop), they said that one of chips was soldered askew.
I think it one of this - Qualcomm PM8901, PM8058 and PM8?7? I do not know exactly.

you might want to retract this statement if this issue is caused by faulty soldering and not CM10

Dear Friend,
i believe i am still right the BSOD now a days Laptop are common mostly HP, its Due to the VGA chip being BGA(ball grid array) they are chips with small balls with soldering underneath them used for comm between the chip and the Bord. but went to chip overheats it melts the solder underneath and when it cools back down the solder get solid it a different area(we moving the phone like taking out of pocket or so) which causes lack of communication between chip and board(when they are back solid) it causes BSOD. I believe the Graphic chip in NITRO HD is using the BGA tech(It makes sense) so if our phone overheats too much the chances of De-aligning the solder in the chip is high cousin BSOD. We all know CM10 at the early stages caused overheating while in black screen coursing huge power drain in battery(we have stigmatic data with the help of battery analyst app).
So summer Nitro HD = BGA , CM10= overheating, Overheating=Bad for BGA(Causes BSOD) so overheating Nitro HD causes BSOD there u have it. i case if the phone really overheats while its in your pocket of in a uneven place and the solder goes out of place then you are in trouble like me.
Solution= Re balling or heat gun(temporary) Can FIX it.
So it's pm8028 near mdm9200
I got the same problem last weekend. I woke up and found the screen on and no sound from alarm clock. I checked and the phone got no sound at all.
I restarted the phone and got the gray screen. Late at the day the phone boot again but after another reboot it got the gray screen and never recovered.
I use CM10.1 and wind kernel with no overclock.
Too bad I didn't find any shop that reball the chips so my phone is dead
I got a i9305 today to replace it.
cn you fix the re-ball?

Can you enter recovery mode? If yes, do full wipe then flash your ROM.

Make sure the phone is fully charged before you try to boot it up, if it is fading out after the logo splash screen it either sounds like a dead battery or a badly flashed rom. You can enter into recovery by holding the volume down and pressing and holding the power button till you get prompted to wipe the phone.
I have had a couple of grey screens (or "black" screens) which I was able to recover from, simply by making sure the phone was powered off, then fully charging the battery for 4 hours, then booting into recovery and flashing a different ROM

ok... will attempt to reload
will try and download and attempt .....

Hi guys:
Tomorrow i am going to buy a Xperia S, i can test all hardware parts over 1 thing that i saw people say that when they play hard games for like 30 muinits they got yellow spot on the screen...
When i will buy the phone i can test it for just some muinits and i can't play on it for 30 minits to see that if yellow spot will apear or no.
How to know if the phone have that problem with less that 5 muinits?
im playng on my xperia S and sometime longer then 30 min. and i dont see any yellow spot
My xs has the yellow tint, it took about 2 month to start as well but got mine from new. It's like it burns the screen, if you get chance to check one just check it on a white background, you will be able to see it almost straight away

It was only the first lot that had the issue. Its since been fixed. So find out how old it is
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
I had the yellow tint problem. It occurs in certain phones when they get warm - the screen gets a sort of yellow cloud which then disappears when the phone cools done.
As far as I know this issue, as others have said, has been resolved and is only present in the very first Xperia S phones manufactured. I don't think you'll be able to find out if this problem happens in your phone in just 5 minutes unless you put the phone somewhere very hot.
I was able to return my phone for one without the yellow tint. Make sure you buy it from somewhere reputable and keep your receipt!
Good luck! It is an excellent phone!
Thank you guys , i hope that i will not have it because the phone is from the oldest Xperia S phones.

It is a problem of all Xperia S before 8 week of merchandise. Also my phone has this problem. In Italy is possible to change the screen, in warranty, with the only spedition cost. The screen works good, the only problem is the tiny yellow color. But your phone has all its functionalities
Sorry for my bad english
