Dark/Light Mode Bug

JerryBerry — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:33:24 GMT

Sunrise to sunset setting does not work as Dark Mode stays on even when it's clearly daylight out. I have to manually turn off Dark Mode. This has been going on since I've received the device. Any help to get this back going? I've restarted, reset, and made sure my updates are current.

You can go into settings and change dark mode to specific times. About the only way I know to get around that.

That doesn't work either sadly.

Hello @JerryBerry, thanks for reaching out to the Samsung Community. That sounds frustrating having your Dark Mode settings not working the way you want them to, and I'd be more than happy to help. Have you tried turning off dark and keeping it on light mode and then enabling the Sunset to Sunrise setting? We also want to make sure your power saving isn't turned on because that can cause this to not work as well. You can check this by going into Settings>Battery>Power Saving> and then you can toggle on and off power saving mode. Again make sure it's off.

Please let me know if this help.
