S23+ updated and now I can't change AOD clock style

userhZYG9dELL9 — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 00:44:56 GMT

My Samsung S23+ updated today and the clock style on the Always on Display screen changed. I can no longer adjust it like I used to because there is no Clock Style option under Settings > Lock Screen (actually it now says Lock Screen and AOD). Can anyone help? I need a larger, brighter clock because I use my phone as my alarm clock and can't see it from my bed now.

The AOD clock is now linked to the lock screen clock, so you will need go to Wallpaper and style and tap on the clock and you can change it there

I am having the same issue. There is no clock option when I go to Wallpaper and style. I have the 24 also. I did the AOD upgrade. Is there a way to revert back to the previous version?

I found that option but why can't I adjust the brightness. I can't see the information when it's on lock

The option isn't available on the S24's to adjust the brightness

It's not available on the S23+, either. Can no longer double tap the clock on the AOD and very simply adjust the clock brightness as before the UI update. I can find no way to adjust that. It is on an auto adjust now where it dims and brightens depending upon the light in the room for example. I'm not concerned with clock styles or colors, just brightness. It's so dim! I also tried the GoodLock/LockStar thing and the AOD clock is STILL dim.

No setting for the brightness level there. I'm not concerned about clock style, just the clock brightness on AOD. Before the update, you could simply tap the AOD clock twice and immediately adjust the brightness. That feature is gone now.

Is there an option to mark as unsolved? LOL! It only seemed to maybe work for one person.

The brightness slider is inside of the newest version of lockstar 6.1.0.11 which is rolling out you also have to have your AOD updated to version 8.7.99.11

Got mine back, all is good now!

I hopped on here because I had the same issue after the software update and it annoyed me. While GaryB82 is correct in that the AOD clock is linked to the Lock Screen clock just to put it in laymen's terms the 2 clocks are no longer independent of each other in the style you select. Whatever you pick for lock screen that will be your AOD clock style as well.

Anybody else have an ugly pink text color now for their clock on the swipe screen? I can't find any way to put it back to White.

I am having the same issue after recent update. I used to double tap on the AOD clock and the brightness bar would appear right under the clock. Easy peasy. Never had to open in any settings and/or app. Now I tap it and it just opens to lock screen. Ugh!
