Hey folks. Got a pixel 7 pro, and it’s been alright, except suddenly, if I press the fingerprint sensor on the lock screen for just a split second, it makes the WHOLE SCREEN go full-brightness, with a green tinge. I know it’s always lit up the scanner area, which is all it lights up if I hold the sensor, but if I release it early it’s actually very uncomfortable. Any suggestions besides the obvious “don’t let go 5head”? Is this an android version bug, a hardware issue? Anyone else had this happen?

Edit: autocorrect

    It’s not a green glow. The WHOLE SCREEN flashes green. I’ve noticed the glow where the fingerprint scanner is. This isn’t the issue. It’s also consistent and persistent through reboots.

      Oh, that’s the flash I get too! Except not just when unlocking, I get it when the screen decides to turn itself on for any reason, like a notification when I have always on display enabled.

      Sucks that I’m not the only one suffering from this, but at least I’m glad it’s not a sign of the hardware dying.

        Dude holy shit if my phone was flashbanging me every time someone texted… Well honestly, I’d be fine, but it’d be in the river just on principle

          It’s not every notification, just once in a while when it’s been off for a while. I wish it did, then I could adb logcat to figure out what’s going on.

          I always lie my phone face down anyway so I didn’t even notice it at first, thought I was seeing things.
