Screensaver feature does not work

[Caleb Davenport]

Having issues getting the screensaver to work, which is found in Settings->Display->Screensaver. From a bit of forum searching, it seems there is supposed to be a "more" button where I have a "preview" button. (see attached screenshot) Anyone else have the issue? Or any idea why I dont have the more option?

I don't have the more button either but have have had the S7Active 2 weeks and the screen saver won't work for me either.

hmm, good find; doesnt work on mine either. surprised i missed that. i noticed with initial software, the compass/map feature did not work either.

My screensaver comes on at full charge when charging. I don't have the more button either. The only issue I've had with screensaver is with a single picture vs slideshow. I had to create a folder with one photo to avoid a slide show screensaver.

EDIT: I shortened up time out to 3 minutes and now screensaver works when not charging as it is supposed to.

Any joy on this? I have the same problem and can't find a way around it.

Not an answer, but I just let the "Always on Display" act as a screen saver - with the latest "AOD" app update, you can add an image of your choosing to the clock and it moves around the screen and uses less battery than a full-screen screensaver. BTW, I just tried the Pandora screensaver on mine and it worked???

go to settings...type BUILD NUMBER in search bar. Tap Build Number 7 times to turn on developer options.

Go to settings again then open Developer Options at the bottom.

turn off option for STAY AWAKE. My phone's screen saver function worked after that setting was changed.

You have to be charging it.
