Key Points:
- Issue Overview: Users report overlapping numbers on the Always On Display (AOD) with the recent One UI 6.1 update.
- Interim Fix: Disable Automatic Restart or LockStar to alleviate the problem.
- Official Response: Samsung confirms a future software update to permanently resolve the issue.
Following the One UI 6.1 update, many Samsung users have experienced a frustrating issue with the Always On Display (AOD) feature, specifically when using LockStar. The problem manifests as overlapping clock digits or app icons during time transitions on the lock screen, causing visual confusion.
This overlap is especially noticeable when the clock shifts minute by minute. For instance, as the time changes from 11:57 to 11:58, users observe the digits superimposing, resulting in a jumbled display. This issue, affecting numerous Galaxy device users, has persisted despite multiple firmware updates.
Acknowledging the widespread concern, a Samsung community moderator confirmed that the overlapping AOD issue is linked to the “Automatically Restart” function. While Samsung is developing a software update to address this problem, the precise timing of its release remains uncertain.
In the interim, users can mitigate the issue by disabling the Automatic Restart feature. This can be done by navigating to Settings >> Device Care >> Auto Optimization. Alternatively, turning off LockStar entirely is another viable temporary fix.
Samsung recognizes the inconvenience caused by this problem and asks for users’ patience as they work on a permanent solution. The company’s commitment to resolving the issue underscores their dedication to improving user experience and device functionality.
