I have exactly the same problem with my Sony Xperia Z3 Dual that I bought today 1 year ago.
I got a new screen 4-5 months ago as warranty to repair this problem and now it is coming back again. Seems to me that there is a mistake in the design somehow if it appears again in the same way
I googled and I didn't find anything particular about it, apart from changing the screen with the warranty and doesn't look like a common issue for many.
As my warranty expires today most probably I cannot do this trick again and even if I do how can I make sure it doesn't come back again?
Has anyone any idea of this problem? What causes it?

My phone isnt broken, it still operates but my screens colors are gone... id hope there is something i can do other than a warranty exchange because i have hard spl'ed my phone and this is just a huge mess! =( please help! I didnt drop it in water or drop it at all, it was in my pocket, i took it out... and now everything looks faded and washed out =( it slowly looks like its coming back, but i dont think itll ever be the same =(
I'm no expert, take out the battery and SIM card..blow on the phone, go to McDonalds, grab a 5 piece Nugget and some BBQ sauce...eat the McNuggets and then put the battery back in along with the SIM...charge the battery to 100% and turn it on and see what happens.
Sounds like an LCD issue. Can you post a picture? Unfortunately, every white screen washout I've seen has ended with a return.
See this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332236
Out of the three, two needed to be replaced. There may be some hope with removing the battery though, but the guy that had the luck left it out over a whole vacation.
It's better to return if still under warranty
I have similar problem with HTC 8125... i know you have a Tilt. my suggestion is to return it if it's under warranty. you can reverse back to the original settings. just check out other posts.
same problem
has anyone figured out how to solve this problem? i have the same issue with my htc tilt. however, the screen toggles between the "washed out" screen and the normal beautiful screen. i have dismantled the device several times using Mike's instructions, but i cant figure out which connectors are out of place please please help me out. i can't afford another screen/phone right now

ohh sucks..yeah i got my 8125 off ebay and it crapped out on me like 4months later....tried to replaced screen and nothing...
i guess your only option would be to try and get a new screen or something
Washed out screen
I got the same problem took it to AT&T and replaced it. But what worries me now is that I have changed my mobile 3 times already and this is the fourth one. Every time it was a different issue. I wonder once I run out of warranty, which happens towards the end of this year then what? I wish there is some other option of extended warranty or anything that can be taken now.
Fix the screen. Here is directions on how to accomplish that: http://www.mindsofwisemen.com/fileso/other/ReplacingTheLCDonaKaiser.pdf

water got in the LCD. You will have to replace it. If you are in the US I can send mine to you for cheap since I don't want it anymore
Hi
I`ve been using my SW2 for 2 weeks and I have noticed few spots on my screen. See below.
It seems like the display has been de-colorized or influenced by most frequent touching zones on the display.
I still have warranty is this an issue and I should return this watch or?..
any suggestions what is going on?
PS: I have not exposed my watch to water or anything.

I've had my watch for over 3 months and have no problems like this. You could contact Sony and see if they will repair or replace it. Looks like a warranty issue to me.
if you look at the watch at a 90 degree angle, you will not see this, but if you look at lets say a 30 or 20 degree, you will see this, it's a LCD backlight washing issue, it's a common issue with LCD screens, i have a very slight washing, nothing like yours, you should def send it back to sony, this is too much washing
This is what happened to me today, I`ve tried restarting the watch and no help. Not sure how to do hard reset and not sure if it would help.
I`m sending them back.

I have the same problem! So if we are both with this issue, it looks like technical iisue of this watch.
What's more sometimes lines and weird colors disappear but after that they will appear again. :/

Okay, I've got exactly the same problem about a month after I brought it. I got mine replaced. I've got it back today after waiting for a month. Hope the new one will last longer.
What I suspect is a battery issue where the battery heats up and also heats the display. The reason to suspect the battery is because it was kinda weak and lasted 2 days at most with very light usage and was heating a bit during charge which may be the cause of display failure.
this is what SONY replied to me
" That appears to be a hardware fault so better send it back or have it assessed at Sony service center."
and this is fresh screen from this morning, the defect is changing but it is getting worst and worst.

Looks bad, so give it back to Sony
Hey guys,
So I had broken my screen and ordered new one from Etradesupply. And ever since I installed a new one there's flickering going on when ever phone gets hot or for some strange reason.
I contacted Etradesupply and they sent replacement part but it still happens.
I don't know if there is a problem with the phone or their part.
Does anyone have idea why this happens?

I also had this issue.. its a common problem for z3 users. It is related to gpu. when used in cold environment the phone responds exactly like this. just turn off and then turn it on.. phone will get back to normal... else fo proper solution you need to send phone to repair centre. In summer you wont face this problem but in winter it will disturb you tooo much.

No. I think it is different. As I said it usually happens when the phone gets hot. And I never had this problem on the factory LCD.
Got this problem with my screen,it became yellow one a small side of the screen,can I do something to fix it myself or I need to fix it with my warranty?
Looks like an hardware issue... How did you got that?

Charged the phone while I was doing some work ,I unplugged it at 90%,at the moment I didn't realized that the screen is yellow.After a few days I saw that the screen was a bit odd,if the screen shows a black photo,were the yellow spots are white.
Did it fall on the floor, took bad bumps, stayed on a heat font for a long period..? It's too much bizzarre to face this as a result of a software issue/error. You could try to send it to service center saying that you found it like that from one day to another, if it isn't a result of an accidental impact caused by you they should fix that by replacing the screen.
Hey Guys n' Gals!
Question, has anybody had their primary screen malfunction?
Now when I fold my phone either open or closed, the screen sometimes goes black. After 1-2sec the screen turns on again.
Sometimes the screen also flashes in a bright yellowish or green color when it is being folded.
Anyone have these symptoms? Any fix? or is it a hardware issue?
Thats is EXACT issue i had, i sent it in repair but they could not fix it... but instead put a diffrent firmware on it or something

Most likely a hardware problem. Could be a lose connection or something more serious. Did you drop your phone or something before this started?
Take it to warranty asap

You'll have to get it checked at a good service centre. Let's hope it is a minor issue.

There is no way a firmware would resolve a hardware issue (if it was that)
