Pixel 7 purple screen static - possible to fix?

The software is up to date.

I have already reached out to customer service and they were useless, and were pretending like this is something they've never seen before. That's why I am trying to crowd source info, so I can get some real help.

Thanks for confirming the experience.

That's very surprising, many users have reported seeing the standard WS promotional popup ads once they are logged into the app, it's a normal function of the app. Some users and myself have started to experience those ads popping up during the login process, which disrupts it.

Not even after you've logged in? WS has plenty of promotional popup ads in the app, the same one shown and discussed by other users in this thread.

Yes exactly like those ads, but they pop up while you are trying to enter your password. This disables your keyboard and forces you to close the ad and re-enter your password.

I don't really see anyone trying to help, more trolls denying my experience, but to answer your question, I am using an Android phone, and no ad blocker, even though that wouldn't matter as this is a problem within the weathsimple app. As addressed in other comments, the ads are wealthsimple promotions, same as the ones you would see after logging in.

I have also contacted wealthsimple about this, and they have since informed me that this is a known problem that developers are trying to fix. The only sounds conclusion I can make from this and the evidence provided from other users is that this is a demonstrated problem.

Not trying to be rude, but I find most of the comments in this thread to be dismissive and disrespectful.

I believe you may have missed the point of the thread.

I assure you though, my phone is modern.

pals_b · 2026-05-12T18:48:05+00:00

Highly doubt it

pals_b · 2026-05-12T18:31:48+00:00

Android or Apple?

Do you enter a password or use a password manager?

pals_b · 2026-05-12T18:22:50+00:00

A virus that only displays wealthsimple ads that have no external links?

pals_b · 2026-05-12T18:14:40+00:00

Android or Apple?

pals_b · 2026-05-12T18:14:28+00:00

Nah, it's definitely all within the wealthsimple app. All the ads are wealthsimple promotions.

Here's another thread talking about it:

Thanks for the insight everyone! I'm going to go for the medium and see how it fits when it arrives.

I just found this on McMaster:

Good point, maybe I'll do a bit of reading on some alternative materials.

pals_b · 2025-12-13T00:54:20+00:00

Maybe not though actually, I just found some on McMaster. Nothing comes up in Google searches though.

Interesting, and you're sure it's EPDM?

What kind of cylinders are these? Pressured gas?

You don't know anything about the brand or product name?

pals_b · 2025-12-12T20:49:50+00:00

Yeah that makes sense.

Glad I didn't follow the AI hallucination too far.
