New Samsung One UI 6.1 Update - GOOD NEWS (Fix) + MAJOR BAD NEWS

Get update here: sakitechonline.com/2024/04/04...
Samsung has issued another update for One UI 6.1 equipped smartphones like the S23 Ultra which has fixed the Always on display issues such as missing "manual & auto brightness slider" as well as the ability to edit clock styles.
However, the One UI 6.1 update appears to be detrimental to battery life.

i'm so glad i've been blocking os updates since last year. every patch and update brings too much issues and the ui design is so bad now. after 10 years of samsung phones it's time to switch imo

[@RafidRahman-3]

yeah, now i have to charge my s23u 2-3 times a day

[@thomasdenmark8031]

I received the update this morning. It's good too have the brightness slider back. But it is not intuitive as with ui 6.0. You could access the AOD settings just from the AOD it selves, by tapping the AOD clock. I don't understand why Samsung messed this up. If it aint broke, why fix it? And why do you have to get the Good Lock application to get access to the settings? This is stupid!

I'm having issues with my S24 Ultra. I go to the link and doesn't have an option for me to update to the newest version you mentioned.

I got the update a few days ago. I haven't noticed any major battery issues, as you said, its subtle. Maybe a fix will pop up with the April security patch

I would never want to waste battery just for a brighter AOD or screen animations.

Is there a way we can have the wallpaper as AOD just like S24 people can have, on S23 ultra? I was looking forward to having this feature with 6.1 😢

Hello saki, I have menu lagging on my s23 ultra after android 14 and after 6.1 Do you know how to fix????

[@technohow6494]

Also on S23 Ultra after update you can't add notes, address etc for any new contacts added. Absolute joke this update, wish I could roll back. Samsung slipping back to the old days of lack of quality control.

Hi Saki, thanks for the video.. I fixed the always on display brightness issue. I must tell you I have been a Samsung user for over 10 years. The 6.1 update is the worst I have ever seen by a large margin. I have encountered all sorts of usability issues that I now have to adjust to...all in the name of AI 😢

[@brianmirabile1638]

My swipe methods are not the same after the update. I can't seem to edit it back to the other method. I have no clue how to pull up my open apps and clear them. HELP!!

[@kdbmeb99]

OK, I've got the version of Lockstar that you mentioned... but when I try to change the Clock Style like you did at 1:55 in the video, I can select the Digital Clock, but the only clock that shows up is the Digital one as well as 'Widgets'. How can I get the various clocks that you show and I am not showing Battery there either. I have a different looking screen, but the version of lockstar that I am running is 6.1.00.11 --- Help Please Someone!

[@ukblackusa]

Hi Saki, Im still unable to add a "photo" option from my gallery in AOD. I recently updated to the One UI 6.1 to my S23 and I'm disappointed that this feature has vanished. My GoodLock is up to date. thanks for your assistance.

[@ahighprfmx]

I got the update last night and it pretty much rendered my screen useless to normal touch. I can only use my S Pen to do anything and I tried doing the cache data reset through the boot menu and still nothing. The only other idea I can think of is factory reset but want to know if there's anything else that can be done first. Looked it up and others are having the same issue, it's on the S23 Ultra.

Can you tell me what they did to my home screen? Instead of having three gesture buttons that go from home back and app review it has just one freaking button at the bottom now and when I swipe up it closes all my apps any way to turn this off?

[@TheCurlyFitChicOriginal]

It removed my gestures on my Z Fold 5 and my Tab S9+ and uninstalled NavStar in GoodLock. When I selected in Display and NavStar it worked again on my phone. But not on my tablet, because the more options to select specific swipe gestures is now missing. Ugh. Back to button, which I used on my first Galaxy phone for a few months about 10 years ago.

Glad you addressed the battery drain. Lost two hours of battery with this un-update. To be honest all the Good Lock applications for Lockstar and Always On Display. Some things still missing. I can't change the color of the clock in AOD and even though the AOD app icon colors say they can be changed in the Good Lock section, they do not change in the actual AOD. IMHO Samsung pushed for AI to the point of sacrificing what was one of their best phones.

Try creating a clock using the Clockface module and change the color there. Then use lockstar to apply the new clock you created for AOD.
