Lock Screen Notification Brightness Really Dim

[Mattyrizzo]

Since yesterday I downloaded the new update One UI version 6.1... the beginning of my nightmare. Since this so-called update my lock screen information does not appear anymore it is so dim that you can't see anything. Before this update there was a feature to turn the brightness up or to lower it. The brilliant people at Samsung decided that they didn't think I needed it anymore. Well I'm pissed. I didn't give you guys permission to mess up a perfectly fine working phone. There are other things as well that have been moved and you can't find them. Or have been taken away. When your  making update you're supposed to make it user friendly. I spent many hours on the phone with technicians from Samsung yesterday. No one can figure it out. Right now I want my lock screen to be bright again because I use it all the time now that you guys screwed up my phone I no longer can use it cuz I can't see it. There was at one time a feature. Before you guys got your hands on my phone. Now I have a $1399 phone that I am unhappy with. And I realized next time I could buy a $99 phone and be just as unhappy. I promise you guys this if they don't send me an update for that fix for the very very very dim lock screen. My next phone will be in iPhone.. how about moving around things and chat the microphone's gone. And the toggle switch to switch back and forth from keyboard to another keyboard. Thanks for making things a little more difficult for me. Now I consider this a piece of ***** it is no longer user friendly. I'm a very unhappy customer. And I promise you may God be my witness I will not buy another Samsung product if this does not get fixed. .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was an UPDATE not a DOWN GRADE! Bring the Lock Screen brightness back. Its needed!

Same here with my brand new A55 worthless piece of sh*t OneUI 6.1 out of the box. My AOD and my lockscreen gone. If Samsung not return that feature Auto brightness switch back, I will return my Samsung on my carrier and I will buy me a old phone with buttons!

⚠️⚠️THIS WILL FIX DIM NOTIFICATIONS ON LOCKSCREEN⚠️⚠️

So with the update to 6.1, I noticed they incorporated "GOOD LOCK" app from Galaxy Store...once you download Good lock, in that app download "Lockstar"...then open Lockstar and from there you can select your lockscreen then below you will see the "Always on Display Auto Brightness" turn that off and then you can adjust the brightness. I found that out by going to "Lockscreen and AOD" in the phone settings, went to "About Lockscreen and AOD" in the top right corner there is a circle with a lowercase I (information) and I un-installed updates. When I clicked the circle I again, I updated Lockscreen and AOD and that's when I saw in the "Whats new" was them incorporating "Good lock and Lockstar" apps to adjust Lockscreen and clock settings separately. You have to download Good lock from Galaxy Store then in Good lock find Lockstar and Lockstar is the app that adjusts the brightness. See Screenshots on next message below

Like this is horrible by them.

Last night I noticed an update on my phone for the new u.i and since then my lockscreen is so dim with no way of changing the brightness settings.

I tried to download Lockstar and when it gives me the option to open it, it shows the open button as greyed out which means l can't open it.

I'm hoping they fix this issue ASAP as its important for me to be able to see the lockscreen for work.

It's a shame we have to do this but it did work for me.

I totally agree
