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'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..

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.

New Phone, New Style

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 .

lol
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.

I've used it for about a week now and I like it a lot better. The screen seems to also be improved. My other phone had scratches all over it after the first week and this one still looks brand new. The only complaint I have is the squeaky buttons.

Screen issues

SO only after having my T705Y for only a couple days, not even a week that there are 2 black spots on the screen. No idea where these came from. My tablet has always had a case and screen protector on it so could this be factory defective? Should I return it and get a refund?

Have you tried a simple reset to factory settings, have you flashed or rooted your tablet.
John.

I think your screen is defective. The black parts are the normal parts. There is a thread somewhere on the forum regarding the problem.

My tablet is running a version of CyanogenMod 12.1 and i'm trying to download the stock firmware to set it back to factory so maybe I can return it.

So the black parts are normal and the other parts of the screen are defective? Do you have a link to the thread? Thank you.

So here's a clearer photo

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/tab-s-8-4-screen-homogeneity-issues-t2826661

So I've read that this is known as the Mura effect and every OLED type panel has it. SO should I return it in the hope that the one they exchange it for has a better screen?

Before flashing CM on it, did it have the black spots?
Don't forget the thanks button, if I helped you.

So 2 of my friends have the same tablet and they have the same problem. I also went to the store to exchange it and they let me look at the screen before I choose one and they also have the same problem. So this is something related to alot of the tab s 8.4.

Well. .. yes. I have never seen any problem with the 10.5 one. I'm unsure what to do now since the store you went to have all the same issue.

Seems like there's a lot that can go wrong with this screen. Now i'm worried of Burn in on my screen but My brightness is always at 50%

Does the screen work outside the OS. In recovery for example?

I had a similar problem on a RedMi Note 3G after I applied too much pressure on the screen, now, I can't say if is exactly the same but if, then yes, it is hardware.

What did you do prior to this? Also can you get to recovery?

Your screen is damaged! Happens with me months ago while running, My sweat did this. My solution was a screen replacement

No it is not working any where. Not even in recovery. I tried to install a RR Rom using TWRP and when i tried to reboot after patching the rom, The screen started flickering. I thought it might be OS issue but i tried everything. I tried to restore to Stock OS & stock recovery using different tools but still I can't get the display properly.
Also my phone fell down while i was talking from my shoulder height. Nut that was a day before this happened.

But i am very sure there is no water involved in my case. The screen fell out of my hand from shoulder height which was a day before this flickering started

In my case was water but in yours was other thing. Anyway, your screen (LCD) is damaged. I'm afraid you'll need a replacement

Thnks for the info.
Can you suggest me some links for the screen.

Or look look on the aliexpress, you may find it even cheaper than on ebay

Check Amazon for omnirepair part. That's who I used for mine and they are top notch. And they provide decent tool set and support that makes job much easier. Slightly more expensive but with it in my opinion. I've had no issues except one spot that is slightly brighter.
