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?

    Yeah, I’ve had 4 screens replaced. First one, a horizontal band just stopped taking touch input about 3/4 of the way down, and then they replaced it 3 times, each with unique display issues out of the box, and now this lol. This is my first Google phone and, honestly, probably my last.

    Edit:just realized you were replying in a chain I had already explained all of that. Oh well!

      To be perfectly honest this is why I don’t like Pixels. Every manufacturer has issues of course. I’m not saying Pixels are bad, just I wouldn’t get them because of personal preference and the design. The Pixel 4s constantly had battery issues because of the quality of the material used for the battery connector. The Pixel 5s were actually pretty good in terms of hardware issues. The Pixel 6s were nightmares. Constantly having battery or screen issues. As for the 7s I can’t say as I stopped repairing phones a year ago

        This is my first pixel device, and probably the last TBH. Not a good introductory experience.

      I will say, my used Pixel 6 (GrapheneOS) has worked beautifully so far, with no hardware defects. If I had to complain, the speakers aren’t particularly loud, but I’ve had no hardware issues with it. I agree with other people, it sounds like it could be a bad motherboard? It would be interesting if you could post a video of the issue

        I’ll see what I can do about a video. The only thing I really have to record is… Well, my phone lol. I’ll borrow one at some point.

        Can confirm as well, the speakers kinda blow on the pixel 7 pro, as well lol
