Awful locking animation OneUI 7

[Jocke69420]

I just got the OneUI 7 update this morning on the S24 Ultra and am pretty satisfied mostly. The device is smoother, camera is nicer to use and feels better. I still can't fit the small Duolingo widget shape to the other widgets, but oh well, it's not that big of a deal. What is a biiiig issue is the locking animation. How can you mess something like this up?? The locking function is slow to start and when in does it is awful and  buggy.  It's a big deal on any device, let alone a flagship device. You can see in the video just how bad this is and I see it every time I lock the phone. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution to it? Interestingly the animation is normal (and pretty smooth I must say) when locking the device on the lock screen or when the "Show wallpaper" option is on for the AOD.

You can't please everyone, that's life😂🙏

Thanks for the reply, but you haven't seen the video about ehat I'm talking about since it hasn't yet been approved. Come back to this post in a couple of days and you'll see what I mean

I love it on the S20U when I turn it on there is no animation, the screen just turns on in an instant. It's one of the most satisfying things about that phone and I wish Samsung would bring that back on the newer devices.👌

I don't have this issue

You can just disable animations and transitions if you don't like them. I don't see anything awful or unusual there.

Some people (possibly most) dislike instant screen transitions, some consider it a very cheap design and often find it a jarring experience. It's purely user preference of course, but at least with Samsung you can adjust speed, frequency and disable them altogether.

I actually made mine faster from Developer Options. I like a smooth phone.😊

[Joeeye]

That's cool! 😊

For those not comfortable with developer settings, the easier solution is going to Settings>Accessibilty>Vision enhancements and toggling Reduce animations

[Jocke69420]

Thank you for your tip! I agree about personal preference and love the animations, but don't you see the buggy locking at the end? Watch the video again!

Does it do that consistently when locking your device?
