Hello
YES CALL ME A NOOB IF YOU FEEL LIKE OR IDK WHATS THE WORD USED AROUND HERE FOR A NEWBIE
Well since yesterday my Xperia S display has the yellow tint issue I think it happened because of overheating. I left it connected to HDMI port for very long time but I had it connected for long time earlier aswell but didn't had this yellow tint issue.
I only came to know about this today and found it is an known issue. I was planning to get my whole body changed since 1 month as I don't want to buy a new phone I was quite satisfied with it but now I'm depressed as the whole things messed up.
Okay enough stories so what happened is the yellow tint stayed till today around 7 and now the display is totally gone I can only see the lights with black displa I mean its alive. I feel the vibration while trying to turn off or on whatever. I even watched a movie with it on my TV as it was clear on the LED TV.
I went to the service center and the chick did nothing but gave me her lovely smile and telling me it will cost 12000 RS INR, the display was there till then it went away after I got home.
I'm dying here depressed wondering if I have unread messages of chicks.
Now I saw a few displays of the phone on ebay around $35-$55 which wouldnt be more than 5000 RS INR.
I don't even own a credit card but I'll manage if you guys think I'll be able to replace the display myself and there is an complete guide here that will help me replace it. I've done a CDROM and HDD thing on PC but gluing and delicate things scare me and I just don't trust the normal shop keepers here they will charge me way too much and I'm 101 % sure it will cause problems in future.
So please help me. It's been only 7 hours without my phone and I've smoked 12 cigarettes in its depression.
Hoping for positive response.
Thankyou in advance.
Ok so your problem was a yellow tint and now a dead screen?
Well yellow tint is caused by high temps, aka direct sunlight and summer heat
Dead screen? Try shining a torch on the screen its self see if your backlight is broken (no light = very dark screen)
You may be able to replace the LEDs instrad of the whole screen
Ill try to find a guide for you

Well touch and everything seems fine. I couldnt sleep last night so this idea of connecting to hdmi came up.
Everything on tv screen was clear and my touch on the phones were resonding smothly which I could see on the tv.
I'll be really mad now if an easy fix is there and with less cost as I was just not able to live without it.
I went to this place in my city and He is changing the display for 4.5 k INR which is better than 12 k that sony was charging.
NO guarantee or warranty but my friend has his xperia sola display changed from there and it works like a charm however theres a thumb impression on it which the guy said can be fixed by gluing it again.
but my friend just using it for time pass like I just want to use this for some more time till a better phone comes which will make me buy it.
thankyou for your time.
LOL Unread messages from chicks haha. You want to buy another phone? Buy it. You don't deserve the SONY XPERIA S.

hey all i am currently having a problem with me htc s621.
when my phone is on it randomly turns to a white screen after a 2 day period or so. and after a while of turning off phone/taking out battery/taking out sim card and doing this a lot it goes back to normal. im getting pretty mad and was wondering if i need to get my phone replaced or what.
any advice is helpfull. and the phone is not updated to 6.1 or anything like that. btw it all started to happen after i dropped my phone one time. i am not sure if that helps or not.
thanks in advance

The phone may be damaged. Is it a stock phone or has it be flashed with a rom?
it is purely stock no upgrades at all. today it did something new, it was white then 20 min later wen back to normal without me turning it off or anything. should i bring it in into warintee or anything i can do to help it?
I have seen simular situations before. It is possible that when you dropped it, the ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the board became dislodged and is only making a partial connection. Or the LCD is just plain broken and needs to be replaced. You can get a new LCD on ebay for around $30 USD and do it yourself or take it to a repair shop and have then look at it for you.
i believe i will take it into the store tommorow. get a professional statement and opinion to see what i should do. thanks alot guys
White Screen, A Backlight Problem

I recall reading some time back concering the cause of the white screen had something to do with the backlight time, try making some adjustments with the backlight. Also do a serious search for that old thread dealing with this problem..............!
You would probably need a new screen and the best option would be to replace it yourself because you could find a cheap one off ebay and then just youtube and you could find on how to install the new screen.
Hello,
I have an S620 running WM6.1. Everything has worked well for ages, but for no apparent reason today the screen "crashed" and is 90% white noise (like a TV with the antenna cable pulled out).
I tried a cold boot which seemed to work, but when I then shutdown and put the SIM back in and re-started - no dice. Back to WHite noise. I have subsequently tried a few more cold boots but all I get now is the top 10 % of the screen shows the green windows startup logo all squashed up.
The wierd thing is the phone itself appears to still work - but the screen is useless.
Can anyone offer any help ?
thanks
ur screen seems to be cracked.. u need to replace a new one
You can easily get a cheap on off ebay and then there is a youtube video that demonstrates to you how to install a new screen. Its fairly simple and cheap.
but if ur gettin the dream jus wait and dnt wrry
ok, thanks for this guys. Its a bit strange that its a cracked screen as I haven't dropped the phone and it looks in perfect condition from the outside. I did wonder if perhaps the internal ribbon cable might have fractured somehow or become loose.
I will crack the phone open and have a fiddle !
If anyone else has any thoughts I#d much appreciate it.
The phone isn't worth much but I really like it. I even handed back a Nokia E90 communicator (which I personally think is crap) to my company because I prefer the 620 with WM6.1.
Last night I was out and during the night I pulled my desire z out of my pocket to find that the screen was dead, the soft touch buttons were still lit up and working but no display. I pulled the battery and tried to reboot and no luck, you can hear it booting and even unlock/receive calls and txts etc once it has booted up just the screen stays blank the whole time so have to do everything on feel.
Essentially does this just mean my screen has a hardware fault? is it worth trying to fix? I assume the only option would be to purchase a replacement screen and dissemble and reassemble it?
(warranty is not worth it as I live in New Zealand and would have to send my phone back to the UK where I bought it from, also I have dropped it quite a few times so probably voided anyway...)
Thanks in advance for any input
Does it never display anything? So not even a flash during boot or something?
Because then it is probably a hardware problem.
Since the soft touch buttons do still work I think there might be a little crack or something in the flat cable that connects the bottom half with the top.
Maybe you could check whether you can see if the cable is broken or not?
The best thing to do then is to look for a replacement and try to fix it yourself or bring it to a shop where they can do it for you.
No it never displays anything, completely dead the whole time. The touch input is still working though as I answered a phone call this morning on it by making the usual gesture just without being able to see anything. Doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the cable itself as far as I can see. Yea might have to get someone to have a look at it.
My phone is acting the same. I dropped my phone in the pond before, but pulled battery out on time and had it in rice for a day. My phone was still working for about two weeks after that incident. I dropped it and had one little crack at the top of the screen and about a week after that it died when I had a water balloon fight with the phone in my pocket. D;
Do any of you know if the replacement lcd screen/digitizer for the Desire Z would work for the G2?
I had the same thing happening to my G2 screen, only it was intermittently working for a little while, then just completely died and wouldn't work. It was doing this crazy flickering thing then the back light wouldn't go on at all. If I held the phone at a certain angle in the sun, I could see that the pixels were indeed working on the display, but there was no backlight to make them normally visible.
So I purchased a replacement screen from ebay and carefully followed the directions on a youtube video for a G2 take apart. Its not a hard task to take apart and get down to the screen itself. It was rather easy. After putting it back together the screen still didn't work! Sounds work, i can also receive calls etc. But the screen still doesn't work!
Is there any way that this could be a software issue?
Oh and PS, I believe the LCD replacement would work for both the desire Z and the G2. They are identical phones after all right? I'd say its a safe bet. The screen I bought was only 35 bucks. Didn't think that was a bad deal.
Another dead screen or something else?
Few days ago my phone fell of the couch onto a rug - no big deal, so far it has survived much worse, but when I picked it up, the colors were all messed up - overly green and red. Tried restarting - no luck. Everything worked fine, except the colors, but then the screen turned of completely. I could hear notifications, phonecalls, but the screen was dead. After some tapping on the screen, it turned on again - with ****ed up colors. Then started flickering and was gone again. Few more times I could turn it on by tapping before it was dead for good.
Figured, after all these drops it survived, maybe the screen connector is a bit loose. I mean, I could sometime get a contact when tapping it, so I dissasambled it completely, secured all the connection, put it all back tougether and fired up - same thing: dead screen, phone working.
Has anyone had such problem before? Is it screen that is dead, or connector or... I have no clue... I would like try to fix it on my own, with some replacement parts I could get on ebay - but, what gave?
Hello there.
I bough my second hand Xperia Play few months ago and it was fine. I rooted it, but kept stock ROM, as I found out my device have forbidden access to bootloader (and it cannot be done, or at least that's how I understood it - nevermind it now).
It was fine, until let's say 3 weeks ago. My phone started to graphically glitch in a very weird way. It grew worse and worse and now I cannot use it anymore ... unless it "wants" to, because sometimes the phone works perfectly normally.
I captured the problem with my second phone ... it's not so high quality, but please try to imagine the weird colours and shapes you see on the screen, only that in reality, they are extra sharp. It looks like colourful grains of sand
youtube.com/watch?v=S1qkkiuEU8M&feature=youtu.be
I suppose something has happened with graphic chip in the device and while this has happened before (to my w550i), this case is a bit different. It works sometimes. I push OFF button and it shows grain. I push it again and grain is there again. But sometimes it normally shows me unlocking slider, I unlock it and it's OK. Sometimes it stucks during unlocking and while the phone works, display shows last working state, for example unlocking slider in the middle of sliding.
I've tried to search for such topic, if it happened before, but wasn't able to come with good search terms to start with : /
I also tried to restart the phone many times, to no avail (grain display is simply during startup too), or even install ROM again through SE updater ... nothing. That was my last choice, now I'm clueless.
Anyone who knows about this issue, from different mobile phone (it doesn't matter), or if it can be repaired by me, or in shop for money (that wouldn't cost more than new phone) or simply any hint you can give me ? I'll be glad, will appreciate it.
EDIT: I added photo too:

Again - it looks like that, only much sharper.

Imo that should be the flex cable problem, the cable which connects the motherboard and the screen, is damaged. Unroot, send to Sony centre, or maybe you can purchase it from eBay and fix it yourself.

Thanks man a lot, because you gave me what I needed (second to) most - search terms through which I can find more.
I knew that there has to be cables connecting display with main body somewhere, such as there are similar cables in hinges between notebook display and main body ... but I supposed they would be well crafted, because the mobile is suppose to be sliding between these two states quite often.
I also saw this, to which your another post helped me to go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646537
I will now try to learn how to take the phone apart (some are easy, some are hard to do so) and hope for the best. The good thing is that display is probably OK. Display usually costs a lot, right ?
So if I won't be able to take it apart by myself and will be forced to go to repair shop, I will have KNOWLEDGE ( ) and won't be fooled by greedy repairmen, who would want to tax me new display or something apart of cable-replacing/connecting.
Good luck to you mate. All the best.

OK, news update - so far, nothing real has happened. I contacted one friend whose father repairs stuff, maybe it will help. I also bought set of T4 screwdriver heads so I can remove those buggers on the phone (and if that father-repairman plan fails I'll just do it myself). I also contacted guy from whom I bought the phone (because it's only 3 months old), maybe he will feel a bit guilty (it's actually a shop, not just person) and help me to repair it for bargain price.
We'll see.
And just one question for you, or anyone else who ever did this. How often it is needed to replace flex cable ? Or in other words - how often just connecting it again is enough ? Because buying form ebay isn't option for me (no credit card, no paypal, or whatever is needed - and I live in Central Europe). Not sure if such specialized parts are freely available to buy in electronic shops. After all, Xperia Play isn't so widely spread android phone and to add to improbability - flex cable replacement isn't usual problem too. Or is it ?
Just food for thoughts.
Hi all!
I´m a proud user of the E975 after 2 years of LGOS
Unfortunately now an error occured I can not stand - after using 10-15 Minutes a yellow spot appoears. It absolutely depends on the temps of my hand.
If I store the device at my work (abou 27°C) the spot already is shown. Then 5 minutes in my hand are enough to bring back the ugly thing...
Could you give me any advice? W-Support (repair center in germany) told me that the display works within the LG´s standards. Has anyone notices such display bugs as well?

Same spot and problem with me
Probably Yellow Tint, LG should replace the LCD.
I still stick with this, because not as extreme as my ex Xperia S
maybe when the warranty 1 month left i will go LG SC and replace LCD
I see
Hi meld!
Thank you for your reply. I will contact SC again! Xperia S´s yellow spots are very sad. I use smartphone for so many years but except for classical display bleeding I never saw something like thak before... Although display becoming better and better at higher res...
