Got a phone replacement under warranty last December, So it's now out of warranty. Maybe twice since then I've had to restart my phone from the screen freezing or bugging out. I figure this happens sometimes, no big deal. Now it has happened 3 times in the past week. I'm pretty sure all these times were after Android 15 was installed. Anyone else having this happen?
I don't think it's from over heating. One time I just picked up my phone to make a call and it happened. Green line across the screen, then the whole screen flashed green and then it went black. It was still on and responsive enough to hold the power button (have it set to bring up the shutdown/restart menu) felt the vibrate and then touched where I remember the restart is and it restarted.
I only see a couple threads on Reddit and they said Factory Reset didn't help.
Also has a faint burn in line or text I can't really tell, across the middle of the screen. I can only barely see it when the screen is white.
 
Was the phone replacement direct from Google or from some 3rd party seller or carrier?
 
I went through the warranty with Google. The replacement did not come in a pixel box it was just in what looked like a Hemp pouch
 
In the Chat they said its not under warranty anymore and from what I've read, 90 days after receiving a replacement or original warranty , which ever comes first.
For Safe Mode do I just keep it on that for a few days and see if it still happens? I might need to plan a better time keep it in Safe Mode since i use this for work
 
For Safe Mode to be an effective troubleshooting step, you'd have to keep it on for about as long as the interval you've been seeing the glitch happen -- since you said it's happened 3 times this past week, you'd probably have to keep it on Safe Mode for about 3 days or so.

Oh yeah you might be right about the 90 day policy for refurbished.

Yeah monitor it in safe mode for few days
