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?

    I can’t say what it could be then. I would be inclined to think it a software bug considering it seems to only happen under this specific scenario?

      In further testing, any use of the fingerprint sensor can cause it. Lock screen, or in app authentication. It’s like the flash that’s normally under just the scanner instead happens on the entire screen. It happens consistently if I tap the scanner for about the shortest possible time I physically can.
