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?

    Switch to a pattern or pin to unlock you phone. These are the ideal methods for security. Hopefully, someone will have a better solution. I’m on LineageOS, so, I don’t know if it is an issue with Android.

        My assumption is that they’re referring to the case of officers being able to compel you to unlock a fingerprint or face lock, but not a pin or pattern. Either way, it’s not relevant for my use of the device.

      Yeah physical security isn’t my biggest concern with the device. It’s more of an accidental touch prevention mechanism for me, so the easier it is to get it out of the way when I want it gone, the better, at least for my use case. This is… Not working, though, my retinas hurt now.
