Pixel 8 screen issues
Hi everyone. I'm new to the boards. Has anyone had any issues with the Pixel 8 where the screen goes, what is best described as, "green snow"? It has happened several times in the past 3 months. It goes away eventually but it has been happening more frequently lately. I've called tech support and apparently this is a known issue but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix that T-mobile doesn't know of. Any help or info would be appreciated. Have a great day people.

Update for the people having the "green snow" issue. Before I had mine replaced I found that if I pressed on the screen in two places, usually the top and bottom of the screen, it cleared up immediately. In my case it appears to have been a loose connection between the screen and whatever sensor or lead or wire it connects to. I hope this helps and I hope it helps you save some $$$.

Having the same exact issue here:
The official answer I've got from the google support, was that their Engineering team did a research and found out that it happens because of static electricity, this means that the phone is of poor quality and was poorly engineered.They asked me to hold the phone with one hand and place the other hand on a metallic object or the ground to discharge the static electricity.
Before I even start offending them, it's 2024 and it is the first time that I see something like this happening to a phone.They said that if this static discharge doesn't solve the problem, they can "repair" the phone and it will take 7-10 days approximately, while I'm deprived of my phone, access to banking account and all sort of important stuff.
You can use repair mode.

I have been having the same issue. It started today.
Never had issues with my phone.
