After a while I realised that this happens when I have my fingers close to the top front of the phone - i.e. this is caused by the proximity sensor.

Has anyone else noticed this? Shouldn't the proximity sensor only be active during a phone call?

I haven't noticed this but ill keep my eye out for it for sure! Might be a good one to add to the daily tests Im doing



EDIT/
I do see the same issue. the proximity sensor is always on
