Question regarding the backlight of my Xperia X1i - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
if I use my X1 in a dark ambience with a dark background on the telephone, I can see that some areas of the display are brighter than others (particularly the top right and left side of the display).
Its only visible in dark areas with a dark picture on the telephone (e.g. the Sony Ericsson start up screen). If I have a colured picture or white picture and if the ambience is bright I cant see the brighter areas anymore.
Is this phenomenon ok or is my X1 damaged?

I think its normal (whether that's OK for you or me is a different question)
There were 2 or 3 threads on this a couple of months back -try searching for "light bleeding" or "screen fade" or "light leakage" and you should find them

Thank you for the post!
Seems that everyone has this problem so it wouldnt be helpful to return it, right?

How do you mean i don't get it.
i don't have any problems with the backlight

Than you are a lucky man

Thnx, I hope i don't get any problems with my backlight or else i would be very upset

My X1 doesn't seem to have this issue
But maybe I should try with something darker than this...

You need to photograph your display while having a dark picture on it. The failure is a physical one, that is why you cant save it with a screenshot.

Another question:
Varies the intensity of the bleeding problem from phone to phone or has the problem everytime the same intensity on every phone in case that the problem occurs?

The top left/right corners are a bit "yellow" for me, I guess that's just normal.
It really isn't noticable most of the time though, so I don't care about it .

Yes you are absolutely right, they are a bit yellow!
And only visible with a black backround, right?

Probably heat related.
Check it with the X1 stone cold, check it when it's been in use for a while.

Sorry but what is the X1 stone cold?

Oops sorry, regional thing I guess.
I mean when it's cold as in hasn't been turned on for a while, hasn't been on charger for a while (and is as cold as a stone )

Hmh as far as I can see is the problem everytime the same. It doesnt matter if the telephone is hot or not.

Old thread, but actual situation...
I have the same problem: on the top right corner (and just a bit on the top left corner) when the display is on and black (start up, panel manager etc.), i see a yellow light...
Should i return it?

Tytn II Screen Issue

Hy guys,
I'm new to the forum so I take advantage to greeting all. My english is poor so sorry for errors
I have bought a Tytn II on 26 January 2008, 3 days ago I found some very small horizontal lines in the screen using the PDA walking, expecially on the top or the bottom. At home I found that this horizontal lines are not due to moviments of the phone but are visible every time I move the head looking the phone, expecially looking the top and the bottom bar.
For example moving the phone with the hand are visible, looking the phone on the table and moving the head up and down are visible, but holding the eye on the screen, with the phone on the table, and without moving the pda or the head this lines are not visible......
So I don't think that the problem is due to vibrations or electric issue.
Can someone tell me if it's normal or what is the problem? Does anyone have the same issue?
Tks very much in advance.

Hy and tks for the answer.
No It's not a battery level indicator. I have a very small screen flickering problem moving the phone because some very small white horizontal lines appear on the screen.
It's strange that this problem appear when I look the phone without fix the eyes on it. If I hold the phone on the table and I look it moving my eyes up and down the problem appear. Looking the phone without moving my eyes does not reveal any problem.....
Hi
It doesn't sound like a fault more normal behavior.
It's all to do with how the phone refreshes the pixels on the screen. When you move your head your brain picks up the screen refreshing the image, this is because the image is no longer static and so your brain is "sampling more often" trying to make sense of what is happening and so catches a glimpse of the screens workings.
Remember what we see on a computer monitors is very much an illusion, they are seldom static images being displayed.

Hy Phil,
tks for the answer. It's exactly what I think, but I have seen another kaiser, and I found that the "problem" is present too but in a very small way compared to what I see on my phone.
May be a different refresh rate? A different configuration of the screen?
Tks again

screen defect?

I just got a tilt about a week ago and ive noticed that in the middle of the screen there seems to be a purple greenish tint when put against incandescent light. The size of said glint varies in size but i'm unable to see what changes the size. Not sure if its heat or pressure or something. The touch screen works perfectly its just really annoying to always see such an annoying glint.
An interesting discovery is that when i press all four corners of the screen it disappears and when i press in the middle of the little square it seems to spread out. I feel like theres some kind of material or something in the touch screen that is causing this due to pressure. I keep it in a hard case in my pocket so the screen isnt pressed on inadvertently.
I've searched the forum for any answers but i havent seen anything about it. Any response or help would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to get a picture of it up asap but i left my camera at a friends house and dont know when im getting it back...thanks in advanced

Do you see the same "annoying glint" under neon light (not day / sunlight)?
Lots of NOKIA and SONY ERICSSON phones for example get this screen recolorization under direct sunlight - this has nothing to do with the screen being defective but with the plastic above the screen which breaks the light and shows you this colored spots. If you can't see the same spot under direct neon light then this might be the cause.
It is normal that you get color changes while pressing the screen in. First of, you press / bent the protecting plastic and the liquid within the screen which causes the incoming light to break in a different angle, therefore the color changes. (BTW: you shouldn't do that too often, it can cause permanent stains on your screen!).
There sure is the possibility that your screen gets pressure from underneath due bad assembling! If you're still under warranty, try to get a replacement.
yeah you cant see it in day light. but i feel as though there is constant pressure on the screen between the plastic and liquid since the spot is always there and doesnt really go away (unless of course in daylight).
well im thinking im going to go back for a replacement. thanks for the quick answer!

Yellowish patch developed on the screen

My diamond has a yellowish patch towards the bottom left hand on the screen. Its only visible when the screen is showing something white only. Anybody else having this problem? any solution?
This is a very common issue with the Diamond... The yellow "clouds" is easier to see when the phone runs hot or with white backgrounds as you mentioned...
Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411487&page=2
There's nothing you can do to make the yellow spots go away, either you will have to live with it or change the display (or phone).

You will eventually get over it and completely forget that they ever existed.

[Q] display problem

Hi I have a small problem with my galaxy and I wonder if it is a common thing or is it a sporadic case. I recently took my galaxy in assistance for the replacement of the screen (between lcd and capacitive glass had a hair) Once again after a while 'I realized (I think that there is a problem from the beginning) that appeared on the display strange signs. Initially I thought it was a lcd problem then I tried to shift the LCD image and saw that signs remained fixed as if they were between display and glass. I brought the phone back in service but they said there were no defects. For sureness (they were very nice) they showed me another galaxy just out of the box and presented the same peculiarities. It seems to me (but I'm not sure) that the first galaxy that I had not had this feature.
If you want to help me try to manually set the display brightness to low and pull down the curtain of the notification bar, or choose a dark gray background and gimme an answer.
thank you
i attach a photo
anyone?
I saw that many people have downloaded the image.
thank you
Can you explain what is so peculiar about it ? I dont see anything wrong with that image . Is it the three orange color curved lines ?? (though that looks to me like a reflection of something).
Are you talking about the red haloing effect around the white text?
Apart from the orange claw 'reflection' in the top right there is nothing discernible about that image.
orange signs are camera lens reflection. I talk about grey zones of images. If you watch closely you notice that some grey pixel zones are different from other. With a kind of green blur.
thank you for your answers
Is this what you are concerning about?

Strange display issues (when cold)

Hey guys,
just a short question, i couldnt find any information about this problem in the world wide web
I've replaced the display of my Z3 Compact. Now i see strange color / lightning issues, when the display is "cold" (e.g. when the phone is idleing on my desk) Additionally, you can see "burned in" Icons from the launcher.
Whenever i heat up the display a little bit, all problems are gone. (perfect light, nice colors + no burned in icons)
Example:
Cold Display:
http://abload.de/img/colddlp31.jpg
Warm Display (just 60 seconds under a desk lamp)
http://abload.de/img/warmorohm.jpg
I need to say, that I'm quite sure it is no original Sony Display. On the other side.. i dont want to replace it again, because it works when its warm..
Does anybody know, why my display is behaving this way?
Thankyou!

Sorry, I can't help you with your problem, but your red cover looks nice (it's a cover right?). Where could I get one? Thank you.

99% it's a hardware issue that needs to be examined by repair center. I'd recommend you to send the phone for warranty service.

It's not a cover. It's the color of the phone itself, it's mandarin
it looks like this
Looks like the adhesive used to bond the replacement screen to the frame is too thin causing back pressure on the display when cold. Likely non-oem parts were used to replace the screen and they are not to spec.
Yes, it is just a bad GLUE paste
