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 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.

You might be able to get help over on the xdaforums.com if you can't find it here.

I'll check there tomorrow, if I don't see any answers tonight. End of the day, I'll just turn off fingerprint and use something else, more than anything I'm curious what's causing it.

As a Pixel 7 pro owner, I would like to know if this is a software or hardware issue too.
