sorry la.. but I only found pinkish tint for camera on the faq page.. nothing about the yellowish tint on screen.. can help?

Yellowish tint issue is very common on the SGS 2. I personally went to samsung to replace the yellowish tint screen but its a real long and sad story:

1) sent in for yellowish tint,
2) 3 days later, collected, now its bright spot on the screen?!
3) sent it again, but two days later, the technician called and told me this:" mr, there is nothing on your screen wor?", I drove all the way from sunway down to plaza berjaya just to show them the bright spots, at first, they still try to deny, but after proving them through various pictures i downloaded on the spot from google etc, the admitted the problem and agreed to change another screen
4) 3 days later, collected again, but guess what? THIS TIME ITS DEAD PIXEL ON THE SCREEN doh.gif I pissed off and make noise on the spot, then immediately, they ask me to wait in the service centre and change another screen on the spot.
5) After 30 mins, finally it was done, but guess what? the yellowish tint is back again?! I gave up and i am living with it now whistling.gif

Yellowish tint on screen ??? One dead pixel on screen ?
If you are not happy, just go to service center and ask for screen replacement or whatever they can do
But there are too many " horror" stories already - solving A gives rise to problem B and maybe C. So is your choice
I'd say what is important is in your daily usage, does this " defect" bother you - do you see it obviously when you are using the phone
If it really biothers you, then just go and claim , PERIOD . Stop whining about it
I'd say DO NOT go and fix something unless you have to go to special display modes to see this " defect"
This is what I called making a mountain out of a molehill

In my buying of all smartphones till now, I never even bother to go to this , I say "microscopic" level to check such stuffs . Some users has in the last few threads go to great level of describing how to see such a defect , viewing it at certain anglers and at certain light conditions , bla , bla, bla
What is important to me, the display should just look nice and clear. Damn it if there is a slight dead pixel - I am not going to waste my energy and time and get frustrated over it. Even the great Apple ipad 2 has so many cases of screen bleeding and yet it sells by millions

Another popular rant is the pinkish spot in camera mode - this again is user assessment of its importance. If camera features is important to you - go and claim a replacement or scour the xda forums for software patches or wait for patch by Samsung. You can try all the latest roms that claim will reduce/eliminate it. Or just go to service center and ask for a replacement unit

i know it's not recommended but have you tried flashing the xxkg3 stock firmware or kernal? there's been reports of yellow tint fixed when they flash the kg series, personally i have a slight yellow tint, and as an active flasher(not the neked one whistling.gif ) sometimes i see yellow tint at the left side sometimes i dont see it. of course mine wasnt obvious in white background tho

I have tried from KG1 till KG6, all still with the yellowish tint issue. Perhaps slightly better on the KG6, coz at this rom, its only visible on the lowest brightness setting. Its obvious on white, and super, yes, SUPER obvious on grey.

But anyway, I have had enough with samsung service center, so will just live with it until one day tangan itchy then go claim again maybe? whistling.gif
