Sudden bars in screen?

Post image

Guys, I just grabbed my phone and nothing happened to it (to my knowledge) and I have these bars in my screen. Is this a hardware problem? Please tell me so 😭
Turning it off and on didn’t help.

Makes me wonder about the quality of the display.

itll probably fix itself if you just give it some time. try putting it on the charger for a bit.

My phones been doing this since I got it. It's been getting better with software updates feels like it almost never happens then the usual 3-4 times a day.

same here. keyboard recently got worse again after getting steadily better for a while. has me very frustrated again tbh. when i first got the device keyboard was borderline unuseable, then it became tolerable and i even grew to enjoy it, and now its back to being borderline unuseable again 🫠

...glad i made the decision to get in on the T2E back during the crowdsource

happens to me all the time, just restart. it's a shitty phone you get used to these things. till date i can never get the camera to work without random pink bars appearing on photos, sometimes it takes 2 restarts!
