Always on display very dim

Where do you find the AOD app to uninstall the updates? I can't seem to find it...

If you go into Application Manager, select More in the top right corner and touch "Show system apps". This will show you all the apps on your phone.

Now just find AODService, and you can then uninstall updates from here.

This is how you would ordinarily uninstall updates on an app and return to the stock version which came with the phone; however, this is not an option under the AOD service app on my Verizon S7 Edge.

Not an option for me either, also on Verizon. Really kind of defeats the purpose, if I have to turn the screen on bc the AOD isn't working!

Please follow the above directions. This was tested on a Verizon S7 Edge.

It only appears once the update has taken place. The always on display is not in the list of applications until after the update. Or maybe it is just a verizon thing.

No, it shows up even if you haven't taken the update or have already uninstalled the update.

Well mine didn't.

I disagree. Display is way too dark now. But this is why we should have a choice. Just like people like their brightness of the screen itself at different brightness levels. Or different audio volumes for music. This kind of stuff should always be user selectable. Different strokes for different folks! One size does not fit all.

Couldn't agree more. For me, way too dim after the update, so to be able to manually adjust it would be perfect.
So I did uninstall the update, and it's much better now, but, again, I agree with you, let us decide.

Thank you.

Me, too. Purchased phone a few months ago and Always on Display worked great. I thought it was a nifty app. It starts out brightly but then soon becomes too dim to read. The whole purpose is defeated since I have to press the power button to see the time and date.

I've looked and looked for the app to uninstall it but don't see how. What a shame.

Uninstall the update. It seems to be happening to everyone.

Not having this issue as long as I don't try to use a picture with mine from my phone. The Note 7s was slightly brighter. I've let Samsung Mobile know about it on twitter. Their adding bug fixes to the Nouget Update for the S7 and S7 Edge. I think they will fix this issue with the Nouget Update. They know about it.

I tested the functionality of the "Always On" display dimming, but taking it in and out of a light room and dark room. The display samples the ambient light and either dims or brightens accordingly. But it only samples once a minute, when the minute on the clock advances to the next minute.
