I have a minor yellow tint issue at the bottom of the screen too. Is there a specific deadline that I have to bring my phone in for repairs?

 

[ragnarok95]

As long as within 12 months or 15 months ( E-warranty + 3 extra months ), you can bring your phone down for repairs.

If yours is the earlier batch and have the yellow tinted issue, just send it for screen replacement. They will change the whole casing for you.
p.s. there is no need to mention that you want the casing change, they will change it annyway... if it is a request from you they might actually charge you.

If yours doesnt have yellow tinted issue or already replaced, you can find the housing on ebay around $70. DIY.

If xperiablog rumor is real, Sony coming out a phone call Xperia Z. Hopefully the phone is made using carbon fiber

Bought a Xperia S recently, the sales person told me is the second batch. I take his word for it lol. But it has a beautiful screen I must say, neat and simple design. Batt wise is the weak area. Hope firmware or ICS can improve it.

 

[ragnarok95]

Yes. Was in Nex starhub shop and the display set do not have the yellow patch issue anymore.

To save battery, disable "background data traffic". It can prolong the battery life by quite a bit. Don't worry, mail push still goes thru. Whatapps still goes thru. But FB notification won't be able to update plus google play store need this enabled before you can download apps.

For me, i switch on only when i need to access google play. Else it is off most of the time.

2 days & more, is what my phone can last on light usage - texting, web browsing & calls without background data traffic.

My XS has yellow tint issue. haven't got time to get it fixed. Want to check with those who have their screen changed, are the replaced screen much better? e.g., color, brightness?

 

[ragnarok95]

Much better for me.

I'm gonna be honest that the whiteness of Nozomi won't be as the Arc's, but it is really better.

Your eyes won't keep staring at the yellow spot like how Austin Powers kept staring at the mole's... errr... mole....
