AAAB ver7 and absolutely no issues...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zimbashka:
12w14

so far no issue with the screen

bought on April 23.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kalix89:
I got the same issue, although it only appears random after heavy usage so it's really not a problem for me.

Though it would be good to send it in and hopefully get a new one, since mine feels like it's 95% complete with a few squeeky noises from the bottom part and the back.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
Just spoke to phones4u and they've decided to exchange my phone as a courtesy gesture even though I'm just outside of their 28 day limit ( had it 6 weeks) :D:D

They did say this is a 1 time only gesture, next time I will have to send for repair. I do get a new 28 day period with the new phone though so I'll be keeping an eye on it and making sure it's OK

I emailed complaining that the phone was faulty from start and I thought it was wrong that someone buys a new (faulty) phone and is then expected to give it up for 1-2 weeks

I wouldn't put up with it, why should we? plus who knows if it'll get worse down the line. I'd contact the retailer and see what they say, maybe they'll just exchange
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eyados:
simply, if you don't use your mobile v. much, u will not get the yellow tint :D.

Sony made this phone to be used under 1 condition:

- don't let the battery temp to reach 40 C deg,

so:

1- don't use your SXS to see long movies.

2- don't talk for long time

3- don't play games for long time

4- don't keep connecting to internet though wifi

5- don't stay in hot area's ( bad news for whom working in fields)

so, this phone is perfect to be used in ESKIMO.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
i don't think so there are many people who tested their devices many times with no issues.. And i think a lot people would want this phone to use it heavyly
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alsaqr:
loooooooooool thats a good one :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Just got mine today.

12w10 AAAB Touch 7.

Been doing the Stress Test for one hour now and temp is around 42C.

I keep the phone wrapped with a blanket to get the temp up lol

No yellow spots so far.

Going to run for a few more hours tonight.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HlmRan:
I got it in a T-Mobile store in Glasgow, UK
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Ok after a while there are yellow spots around the screen and in the corners.

Glad the eBay seller is willing to accept return and issue refunds.

Guess I am going to wait for an additional month?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bryan_hk:
Replaced with a dim and yellowish (beige) LCD

Mine xperia S is 12W09 machine, first found the yellow tint at lower part of the LCD display. Contacted local Sony repair service and they repair it for me without a new Xperia S replacement.

Disaster comes!

When I looked at the LCD display which they claimed it was repaired. It was beige when I opened the screen of white. All the red/blue/green/yellow are dull. Not as bright and brilliant as the original LCD display. It is UNACCEPTABLE. The bright and brilliant LCD display is ONE of the selling points of Xperia S!

Please think before repairing your Xperia S for the yellow tint problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
I read from chinese forums that revision AF is available.

So better wait for that. I am returning mine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
Hi whats revision AF?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
The first two letters of the four letter code just above the week number.

Like AAAB or ABAB

This means a lot of revisions were done after release.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
so its true that the all the version from AB an on are ok?

how many time do we have to wait until AF is in market? i'm going to buy it from UK

and I read that this phones is being sold a looot.. and that more stock are going to arrive at Uk and othres soon
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
I think one more month or two.

I probably will buy it in late May.

Or the price will be lower once Hayabusa announced.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
so AB AC ar all right then?

i think i will buy around 20-27 may then

whats the name of the chinese forum?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Seems with less problems.

Most yellow tint are AA revisions.

The site is bbs.gfan.com

Maybe a bad screen? Time to send :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] redragon95:
12W11 AAAC here, I noticed the yellow tint on the bottom after having the phone for 3 weeks.

Is there a software that lets me backup everything(including settings etc., like getting an image of my phone's current state)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
I think PCC does that when you backup the phone, is that right? I need that as well if the yellow tint gets worse.

Sent from the Delta Quadrant using a transwarp conduit.

AAAB 12w09 and first noticed tint today. It is along the bottom and up both sides and a spot in the top right corner.

Onto three customer services tomorrow. As long as they don't leave me without a phone It'll be cool. None of my spares take this micro sim lol

Sent from my XperiaS via subspace beacon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bikutaa:
(new to here(!!) hello)

so I bought Xperia S on release about 6 week ago:

AAAC CB5

12W10

I didn't notice tints for a few weeks (but they were likely lightly there)

but hotter weather then meant it would appear on a 2cm band smear at bottom more prominently and a small blob at the top left (on white screen, more than half the internet..)

I got a replacement exchange (from O2) kindly enough:

AAAC CB5

12W12

but I can see a fading into yellow at the bottom,

I will stress test it tomorrow to see clearly and document in photo

before another exchange..

the thing is O2 did not guarantee from a new batch or whatnot so it could go round and round.. til I get what I have read here in this thread

an AB--or AC-- seems to be highly likely free from this defect,

I'm guessing in general it's something most people don't notice or doesn't matter to them so don't know how many times I will have to exchange until a perfect one turns up(!!)

if only I could receive one from a just arrived batch..

I guess it comes down to me being picky; everything else about this phone is pretty perfect(!!)

thankyou everyone for providing their info and collaborating in this matter, I have learnt a lot reading this thread and the other one (that I can use to explain to O2 about why it would be easier to exchange me a new batch one)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
You can stick your micro sim in an adapter and use it as a full size.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
Mine actually came with an adapter now I think about, maybe Sony knew people would need it for when they sent their phones for repair LOL
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NightSky256:
AAAB

12W8

Touch FW: 7

i didn't noticed any tint issue
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Your phone sure will have the issue, just a matter of time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
It can go either way... Not everyone has the issue, its only a small percentage of the phones have the yellow tint. A small percentage doesn't mean all phones. Only 50% of registered here on the forum reported the tint (if everyone took the poll anyways), and this thread has multiple postings from the same people so this isn't a adequate count either. Less than 50% is no reason to say 'you will get it' if you have a older production.

I have one (two if you count my partner's phone) of the 12w9 phones since it released here and haven't had any yellowing with intensive use. Had it for almost two months and no issue.

Im not colorblind and check my phone constantly for yellow, but nothing at all...nice how some people here are becoming doomsayers and making people paranoid for the tint now.

If you have it, you can get it taken care of or get a new device, if you don't, you don't.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
Takes a loooooong time to get it fixed though. Mine's been at the repair center for a month now. Still "in progress" status.....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jodelboy:
Earlier I voted for "my device has no display issue".. I have to correct that now.:mad:

Even when I pushed some benchmarks/burn-in-tests over it, it didn't display any yellow tint.

But: This week, it got really hot in Switzerland. I saw the yellow tint myself the first time :mad: Its a yellow circle about 1cm above the home-button.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NightSky256:
hmm i'm trying to spot this out, yesterday i've played abot 1 hour with Swords and Soldiers, then i gave the phone my girlfriend who played temple run for a while... the phone was hot, sure above 40°C, opened a white web page... no yellow at all...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] depulle87:
Well my screen died and is on its way to sony now so i hope they replace the screen.

So if i get it back i dont have to sent it again if i get the yellew teint

Am I gonna have the yellow tint problem? i never heat my phone to the 43degrees, but if it is possible to know it without pushing it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lord Takyon:
Lmao that thought never even occurred to me. I'm fairly certain I've got one laying around.

Sent from my XperiaS via subspace beacon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nemer12:
my phone had two days ago 51 degrees :O ...yellow spots bottom and up in display.

I have a question I don't have a waranty..and I'm from romania, at the service they require waranty, I've understood that they have to repair it because it's their fault with the damaged display .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samp52:
AAAC, with problem
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] igorbt:
Bought mine 3 days ago, had the tint from the start, but only when I'm on my home screen. As soon as I enter the menu, or run an application, the tint is gone.

And it doesn't bother me at all!

Btw, been reading you guys for quite some time, and I see that everyone is posting the approximate manufacturing date of your phone. How do I check that on mine? :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Open the back cover.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] springdancer:
AAAC, 12W11

I bought the phone late March, today it came back after 3 weeks warranty service; prior to sending, the bootloader was unlocked. I also had a matte screen protector in place of the default one.

The yellow tint problem is gone, this is the list of parts replaced:

1 Cap Micro-USB Black

1 Sheet ACF Relay

1 FPC Main Assy

1 Sheet LCD FPC

1 Cover Front Assy Black LT26i

1 Cushion Sub PBA

1 Sheet Relay FPC

1 Foil Adhesive Transparent Front

Also, the firmware is now 6.0.A.3.75.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reptile64:
A friend of mine just bought XS these days, the screen is awful!!!!!

It's all yellow ( just like the yellow tint on mine) and the blacks are awfully grey!!! Mine has the yellow tint but the rest is pure white and the blacks are bottom pit black! :-P

I worry now that if I send it for repair will have the same ****ty screen as my friend!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yakandu:
i found some yellow new screens to... wtf
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
I got the AAAB 12w11 and no issues here...

the whites are a really really bit yellowish... but it doesn't really bother me

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theXperiance:
My model is 12w12

Can anyone confirm that this doesn't have the white tint?

Btw this is a unique model sold in Australia exclusively on Vodafone and got cancelled a month later due to poor sales of the white model

My model is 12w17

for now all ok

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rabangus:
I have a 12W15, ABAB. Was fine when I got it, but the tint has been getting more and more noticeable (becoming quite distracting when reading books with a white background), so it's getting carted off for repair... :-(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] batman_112:
So by the looks of it Sony did not really repair the yellow tint and you can get it even if you have a new batch!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dgattenb:
Had my phone for a while all fine, now just saw a little yellow tint in bottom right on screen mmmm we see how it goes
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reptile64:
Sony don't give a **** because not much people are like us and not get bothered by it, they even sometimes can't see it!!!

We should blame the company(s) that supply them with screens and Sony should do something more drastically about it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] crimilde:
I got my phone in March from Expansys France and never had the yellow tint issue until a few days ago.

I was browsing through Twitter and I suddenly saw a yellow tint about 1cm high and 3cm long right above the app drawer button on the home screen.

The battery temperature was about 38 C. When I left the phone alone after rubbing the offending spot for a bit, the temperature fell to about 30 C (I was outside and it was a hot day) and the tint disappeared.

It hasn't appeared since, so I'm not sure what to make of it...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whitep0wer:
Mine is 12w14, ABAC. So far no issues with screen, everything is OK.

Tested using stability tester up to 40deg and service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) for color screens. All look fine and saturated, with white being pretty ok, no distinguishable tint, and black being evenly deep gray (too bad this is not AMOLED :p )

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rabangus:
Sent mine back on Saturday and was impressed when I got it back this morning. Problem is, just noticed the illuminated bar doesn't work anymore! Sending it back again...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Porchy12:
Hah! I thought I was the only person that noticed!

I wonder why the camera changed?

I'm now on my third XS (12W12) and after a month of constant use, it seems to be ok still. (Touch wood)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rabangus:
UNBELIEVABLE! After they broke the illuminated bar (and volume down barely works anymore) whilst replacing the screen, I sent my phone back again to be repaired, and it came back this morning and all they had done was a 'software upgrade' - for a hardware problem of their making!!

When I phoned them up all they wanted to do was send it off for repair yet again! Not accepting that - waiting for someone to call me back and tell me what they are going to do to make me happy.

At this point I can only say that if you have this problem with 3 UK you REALLY need to hope you don't have any problems with it because they have no idea how it works or how to fix it...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] harvy20:
bottom part has a slight yellow tint, best seen when viewing a white image (like zooming into white part of google on browser).

its around the bottom edge, might take back to tmobile

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Why So Serious?:
No yellow tint but one dead pixel... only noticeable at about 60%+ brightness so not a big issue for me :)

Only problem is they exchanged my sim unlocked o2 phone for a sim locked one so now having to wait for an unlock code :-(

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hawkPL:
I thought I got lucky with mine being a perfect screen, but unfortunately after almost 2 months of use, I did notice a yellow spot on the bottom part of the screen. It only appeared once, after I was using the phone on a (very) warm day, battery temperature was about 41 or 42 degrees at that time. When the phone got cooler, the spot disappeared.

I was considering sending the phone to a service center, but having read how many people are having a terrible experience with their phones being sent back with keys not fully working, scratches and other marks on the phone, loooong wait for the new screen to get delivered... And with the new screens reportedly having a warmer look, I think I'll just wait and see if this spot appears again or not. Might just keep the phone as it is not to risk having it broken. :/

Mine is a ABAC 12W14, Touch Firmware 7, so the theory about AB** series being problem-free no longer stands...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ishamm:
I am in the same situation as the poster above. Fine for a month and a bit, now it's a hot day a yellow spot has appeared, which noticeably goes away if the phone is put in shade an cools a little. Honestly not very bothered about it, so my sites aren't quite white when it's hot, not worth sending back imho. The amount of hot days were having in the UK currently us so low it's hardly going to be a recurring issue XD
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] plotinus:
Too bad the XS has this screen problem... I was thinking on buying one but here in Costa Rica I can't take the risk of buying it and having this issue... Stores sucks over here. .. I'm sure that if I get the issue they will say that it can't be fixed or that it was my fault... And charge me for "repairing" something Sony its responsible off.... Guess no XS for me! :-(

I'm trying to backup Angry Birds settings and hi-scores using Android Debugging Bridge. The command:

adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/highscores.lua C:\ab_highscores.lua

works perfectly for Angry Birds original. It is also pretty obvious how to get savegames from Rio and Seasons.

Now, what is the path for Space? The most obvious one, "angrybirdsspace" is giving me error "Remote object not found".

Alternatively, how can I list content of /data/data folder? I think it's not possible with ADB.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
That only works if he is rooted which I am guessing he isn't.

For Space it depends on version of which three exist

com.rovio.angrybirdsspace.ads

com.rovio.angrybirdsspace.premium

com.rovio.angrybirdsspaceHD

Even though currently you can't actually purchase these things in Space you may want to also backup eaglepurchases.lua and episodepurchases.lua or at least know about them for the future if they come out officially for Android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karamvir Singh:
you can use ultimate backup pro.download link is http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/2403866/?ref=3634 .and do this on your mobile. make sure you are rooted

Or you can use angry birds space backup-its a nice little app that will save all your levels and scores on your SD card so when ypu uninstall/flash a rom/factory reset you can just restore the data with a single click.

For Space backup, i think, got something when i put com.rovio.angrybirdsspace.premium in the above command.

The result i got is..

42 KB/s <1104 bytes in 0.025s>

But i cant find the file in C:\.

i tried E:\ab_highscores.lua in place of above C:\ab_highscores.lua thinking it would save to my sdcard.

Now the result i got is...

20 KB/s <1104 bytes in 0.053s>

[YES, GOT THE FILE IN COMPUTER'S E:\ DRIVE AS "ab_highscores.lua" with ONLY "1.07KB"]

Why the low size??..

I got nothing in C:\ when i ttried the first command to pull..but can see it in E:\.

What that mean?.

is that the original backup?.. But only 1.07 KB, i suspect

How to pull the same file to sdcard?

should i change E:\ with SDCARD\ to save in sdcard?

IS THAT THE BACKUP?..please anyone

Also if we change highscores.lua to ab_highscores.lua then will app recognize the file on restoring...??

[Update]: One thing i noticed with the pull command above is that it export/create any file with any file name and extension with size 1.07kb.

i experimented C:\highscores.lua with C:\highscores.mp3 or C:\data.mp3 and adb exported the file with same size 1.07kb and the given export name.

Why this is happening..?. Is the com.rovio.... incorrect or it is not moving due to my unrooted device?....

Please any command experts..help..
