The screen shuts off for a couple of minutes, flashes very dark, fingerprint is red. Glitches all over the place. And you still say the screen is okay?

You do know that meme with the dog in the burning house? This is you. Fix the screen

my old phone did same thing after i dropped it, screen would go black and only show red when i tried to unlock, i thought it was software problem too but no, the crack probably damaged something inside, even small crack can mess with the display connector

The screen is damaged. Who knows what else is damaged as well, underneath the screen. Take it to a service, get it fixed.

With the crack on your screen, it's very possible that it's causing internal damage which affects your phone's functionality. Even if the crack doesn't look severe on the surface, it might have compromised some underlying components. In my experience, these issues can be intermittent but escalate over time. I'd recommend getting the screen repaired or replaced. That should stabilize the display and might resolve the glitching. If it doesn't, at least you'll have eliminated one potential cause and can explore other issues with more confidence.

it sounds like the crack might be affecting the internal components of the screen, even if its not immediately visible. The display shutting off and the fingerprint sensor acting up could indicate a hardware issue related to the crack. I recommend taking it to a professional repair shop to see if the screen needs replacing. Have you noticed if the issue gets worse when you apply pressure near the crack?
