i stand corrected. It happened but for the first time ever it started working again without restarting the phone. Curiously, this time it was 82%, not extremely hot but I think the cause may actually be notifications. When the notification appears on a turned off screen, the black background with notification at the top does not fully illuminate. It is dimmer than usual and it has the blue light filter applied which usually doesn't apply to the screen when it's just displaying a notification. To fully outline what happened today with the bug:
Notification received from an app (app seems to have no correlation as it has been any number of different apps, including Messages.) Notification is dimmer than usual and has warmer colours, in line with the blue light filter but in other circumstances would not be filtered.
Grab phone and place fingerprint on scanner to try unlock phone
Fingerprint icon and blue light from screen to help the scanner read my finger does not appear. No noticeable effect of my finger touching the screen
I double tap screen to turn on screen, after a short delay the screen turns on, still very warm colours and dimmer than my usual brightness. No response to my fingerprint, nor any touches on the screen.
I press the on/off button to no effect. Double tapping the screen turns the screen off. I unplug the phone from charger.
Turning the screen back on seems to be impossible. I verify that the same bug has occurred by clicking the on/off button and swiping up to get to my pattern lock, swiping haphazardly on the screen confirms as there is haptic feedback.
This is where I try to tap on the screen a couple of times, swiping around trying to get it to respond. Screen turns on after double tapping.
I have no idea why it is doing this. As per my post above, my initial turning on of phone after charging was successful. I was able to unlock and use the phone without any problem.
