AOD (Always on Display) Problems?

[popmaster109]

Hello does anyone know if Samsung are working on an update to allow users to manually adjust the brightness level of the AOD and to bring back the notification icons in colour the same as the apps on the homepage screens etc,as was on the S23/22+21 etc

There is an imminent software update being released soon to various regions.  > https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-announces-galaxy-s24-series-update-offering-galaxy-users-mor... 

However you could also look to Goodlock if available in your region, and it's Plug In called Lockstar.

If I can be of any further help then please don't hesitate to ask.  😎

I hope they revert the changes. It really didn't make sense to me why they would change it. Also, that you can have the clock a different size on the AOD, compared to your screensaver. That was super helpful.

@popmaster109: Please can you try heading to Settings > Lock screen > Always On Display > Auto brightness > Toggle this option off. When Auto brightness is off, you can adjust the brightness manually by double tapping the clock on the AOD, or adjusting the slider below the Auto brightness setting. 

We recently received some feedback on the notification icon colours from our Research and Development Team. They noted that, in order to maintain seamless switching between the AOD and Lock screen, the icons must maintain a uniform colour. As the icons are white on the AOD, they will appear the same on the Lock screen.

There is no option for Auto Brightness in the AOD section

This isn't an option on the S24

And now it isn't an option on S23 either as they have removed it there too. Please, Samsung. Bring it back.

Agreed! Please bring back the colour for notifications

Please bring back colour notifications. This is an important feature as different contacts I have set up with different colours so I know who texted me by looking at my AOD. Very helpful at work when I know who is a priority VS social texting. Why go backwards?

@Eb0820: I have spoken with our Product Specialists regarding this matter, and they have noted that the notification icons were changed to a uniform white colour to allow for smooth transitions between the Lock Screen and Always On Display. I do appreciate that this might not be ideal if you were used to colour coordinated icons, and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.
