Guys, I think the "yellow dot" issue is bigger then Sony wants to admit, it might be as bad as every SXS have it.
My new (second) SXS that I got few days ago has it... I wont send it back yet since I just installed everything on it again but if it get worse I am def going back with it :S
Mine has one dot over the right button and one under the top right corner, it also have a yellow wave under the top left corner...
I am really disappointed by this, sure you don't notice it right away and sometimes not at all if you have the "right" background or an icon where the dot is, but at other times it's really annoying.
The thing is I love the SW in the SXS, mainly the music player with all its fun and usable details and I love the design of the phone so this is really hard now, I don't know what to do.  
Seems HTC One X suffers from this too (not sure if there is any common factor). |

Ahhh the reloading of the homescreen really annoys me it was there on the arc, and unfortunately is also on the XS

If the phone were to freeze, how would you reset it since you can't pull the battery out? I'm looking to get this or a Xperia P. |

^ Good question. Wondering the same thing. Had a minor freeze using skype. phone became unresponsive. But thankfully pressing the power button for a long time got the phone to restart.
Sony all the way |

Volume Up + POWER (for 10 seconds) -> resets the battery, its like removing the battery and putting it back in [device will vibrate once]
Volume Up + POWER (for additional 5 seconds, total 15 seconds) -> will power off hard, device will power down [device will vibrate thrice] |

Thanks, no need to worry then. Why all the initial fuss about a non-removable battery then? I'm loving the Xperia S but the finish on the Xperia P is too nice, the screen is amazing as well. The first time in a long while that I've wanted a  /Sony device. |

Isn't the yellow dot issue solved with handsets later as week9. I heard it was because of the glue the used.

NO it is not solved. My phone is from week 12 and has the yellow tint issue. Some people with week 14 phones have reported no yellow tint but others had it even on week 14 phones. |

Wohooo, I finally got my hands on my Xperia S last night! I'm thoroughly satisfied, to be honest.
Just two small issues. I seem to have that yellow spot issue at the bottom of the display but it's very faint and barely noticeable.
Secondly, the phone seems to heat up near the top after several minutes of use. I don't know whether this is normal...

Out of interest did you get a European adaptor?
As for the yellow tint issue, when I turned brightness on full on a while picture I maybe see a bit of yellowing but I don't know if I'm seeing things, apparently it gets worse when the device heats up, so maybe do some tests and see if it gets worse. I would have hoped Sony would have given us some kind of documentation for the warranty etc. But can't complain, I looooooove this phone
