[Help] yellowish Screen

I was showing my wife how to adjust the brightness level, with the pulldown toolbar, and the screen went to a yellowish faded out color.

Tried rebooting and still there. Really hate to do a factory reset.

Anybody else ever had this problem?

I would go into display settings and see if something changed in your settings.

Finally pulled the battery and it is now bright again.

Did notice while reinstalling the otterbox cover the yellowish tint was coming
back intermittently. I truly think there is something not making full contact causing this.

8 months left on the factory warranty, so will keep an eye on it.

Could the otterbox be putting pressure on the screen?

The inner cover is real soft with the snap-on part being made of hard plastic.

I took the OB off again and could squeeze the right side cover and cause the yellowish tint to
come and go. Took the back off completely and re-seated it with extra care. Hopefully it will
stay bright.
