Does your Galaxy S2 have that yellowish tint too?

I have not noticed any yellow tinting on my unit. however i do have a white spot on the bottom middle of my screen that i need to contact Samsung about. Do you think they will replace it or are they not acknowledging any of the complaints?

I bought mine last Saturday at Hello in Rob Manila. As far as I can tell there’s nothing wrong with my unit. Loving this phone!

no issues whatsoever with my SGS2 =)
highly recommended smart phone!

Look out for IPHONE5..
ANDROID = GENERIC OS = CHERRY MOBILE

I pre-ordered my unit from Samsung’s website and I don’t see any issues with my unit. I’m not sure why a lot of people have been reporting these issues, but I guess a number of us are lucky.

i got my unit from the Samsung Galaxy S2 promo last july 2 in rockwell, and i found out recently that my FM radio doesnt work. i thought it was the low FM radio signal where i live.
but i reset to factory settings a few times already and tinkered with the settings, but to no avail.
I also checked the receipt which says it’s only replaceable within 3 days.
would you guys know where the best service center in metro manila for samsung is?
im one of the few unlucky ones who received this phone.

Definitely not an issue for me and my phone. Got it from globe.
While defective screens may truly exist in some units, I believe this issue is way overblown by others. I have a friend who didn’t notice any problems with her screen before but after knowing the issue, she seemed to be overly anxious with her phone that now she’s seeing some very slight difference with the grey textures on the notification area under low brightness settings. When we asked our friends about this issue, they don’t see any issues at all after repeated inspection under the same settings without them knowing
the said issue. Others seem to just jump with the issue without even owning one. Plastic material is well built and lowers any death grip issues compared to other phones. Plus it makes the phone light as well.

as one of the members of tipidcp, i didnt get a yellow screen but its more of a cool blue :)

what bothers me is the Android OS Bug that this Galaxy S2 phone is experiencing at random, AOS bug put in short term is it eats battery even when it is in sleep mode, though you can see it in the battery usage app the quick fix will be to reboot the system, google galaxy s2 AOS bug. but i think this has been resolved with gingerbread 2.3.4 which has been leaked already for the galaxy s2, though i havent installed it yet and still waiting for the official release of the 2.3.4 :) anyways i highly praise iOS for being an almost perfect mobile OS, too perfect i got bored with it, now with android i can do more with my phone this is a much better phone overall in my opinion, truly deserving of the title “smartphone” :) not a toy

Luckily no issues at all :) I love this phone! anyway I got my SGS2 from Globe.

can we drop this if you have problems pa warranty nyo this is pointless

I got mine last July 6 at Globe Glorietta. Unlike makenzo who tested his phone for 2 hours at CMK, I bought the device without even testing the unit. That’s how confident I was with the product. The globe officer who assisted me was not familiar with galaxy S2 so I told him I’ll test the unit myself. The box was not sealed, the Globe sticker has been removed but he said that all units are being checked before they sell it to the public.

Anyhow, I tested the unit at home and HAVE NOT noticed any screen discoloration. No yellow/pink tint or white spots. The only issue I thought I had with this phone was the usb charger and earphone jack not locking into place. I got a jelly case for my galaxy. It turned out to be an issue with the case it self, it was blocking the opening. I took the jelly case out and voila! Earphone and usb snapped into place. So that problem never really existed after all.

I don’t see any other issues with my galaxy other than the short battery life which have been explained in numerous blogs. The overall performance is superb!

After reading jayson’s comments about the weak FM signal, i immediately grabbed my iPhone earphone to test if mine works. It did! I guess I’m one of the lucky ones.

My phone is 6 days old, I have tested almost all applications and have not found any major or minor issue.

I noticed a common denominator though, people who grabbed their units from retails stores have this yellowish tint issue / FM issue. On the other hand, customers like myself who got it from Globe are not experiencing any defects.

I hope Samsung address this problem soon! I’m happy with phone and I’m glad I made the switch from iOS to aOS!

hi everyone,
i also found out that aside from my FM radio not working.. the yellow tint on the left is present when i check it on a dark room and i took a picture using my dslr and it shows..

mura kasi kaya ganyan. hehehe

Where could i find a “things to check before purchase” kind of list para maiwasan mga issues ng sgs2? I hope sir abe could create a separate blog for this, gusto ko na bumili, ang dami ko lang kasi nababasang issues and hard to capture which functions to check 1st bago ko bilhin… :(

waste of money,it’s better to buy a phone built in cali!

^ yes to iphone <3
=))
unlike this same old plasticky handsets dumbphone style..

GSMA’s review unit has no yellow tint, flawless unit as you can see on the 1080p version of the video.

my friend has a yellow tint on his sgs2 but for some reason I’m the only one who notices it.

I had also this bad issue. It is very very annoying. Samsung please value your customers and take back these faulty handsets. I cannot explain how much it suffered me …
