========================================
Zenfone 9
build nr 32.2040.2040.23
not rooted
every minute or so
After a month or so I send my phone for repairs as I noticed some lines in my screen ocassionaly, besides that my phone sometimes made a 'clicking' sound. The screen is fixed but the clicking persists.
I now found out that it has to do with the 'smart screen' feature (screenshot). When this is turned on I hear the clicks quite frequent like a camera shutter or speaker pop It also does this every time right before the screen time-out hits in.
When this feature is turned of I do not hear te clicks.
Customer service wants me to ship the phone for repair again, but it seems like a software issue so I dont think it will help. Is this a known issues/ do you guys experience it as well / is there a fix?

I have the same experience as well.
After reading this post I opened the camera app and switched to front and back camera.
What I also noticed besides the clicking sound is that if you have your front camera opened, you hear sound in the ear speaker. It even makes a buzzing sound if you move the phone/camera.
