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
Edit 2:
If you’re consistently having screen issues with your Pixel and it’s not due to any accidental damage but straight out the box it could very well be a problem with the motherboard. Various ways to solve this like contacting Google and seeing if they’ll do an in-warranty replacement device, or you could see if a Google authorized repair center will do a MOBO replacement. However the suggestion I commented elsewhere in this thread is the better 1st step to take
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!
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
