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?

    Had exact same issue on my Vivo X70 Pro+. And the cause was something I doubt will be there on a Pixel. My device has an option to always show fingerprint icon, or show only when screen is lit up.

    Always showing the icon flashbanged me with light as well. You might try this if that option exists for you.

    If it doesn’t, then turn off AOD.

      I don’t believe the fingerprint option exists on the pixel, or equally likely, I’m blind, especially now. I’ll check AOD though!
