Vanishing clock and widgets lockscreen bug

[NJMike]

Yeah got that the update

Samsung Clock is different than Clock Face; I don't use Samsung Clock. Also I don't think it would be an issue with the clock regardless, as this also sometimes affects my widgets and push notifications. Sometimes also my email address at the bottom will vanish. The issue seems to be regarding the lockscreen altogether, rather than a specific app.

Alright I think I am just going to give up with this; I decided to remove the lock screen entirely as I don't honestly have a use for it. Thanks for the help still, to all who did.

Did you submit this bug in Samsung members app?

I actually have not heard of that area before so no.

I believe I found the problem: It may have something to do with animations. I turned on Reduced Animations about a week ago and noticed the lockscreen stopped having the bug. I do believe I noticed a few times where it looked like the lockscreen was barely trying to fade out the clock and such but it immediately came back. So it makes me think it has something to do with animation failures. I suppose there is no possibility to clear any cache related to animations or something? I feel my phone generallt feels quicker with animations off anyway.

This one here in accessibility settings, yes probably could cause the issue

Yep that one. So I'm turning it back off again to see if the issue can reproduce. Or if the OneUI 6.1 update fixed it.

Cool keep us posted

Cool keep us posted

Well it has been almost a week since I posted that and I have not seen the glitch reproduce even after I re-enabled the animations (though at .5 speed). Hoping that this was a fix in the new OneUI 6.1 update and I can be free from this.

Glad to hear that but before we celebrate I want you tell me in 1 more week that it's still good

Will do for sure.

It began happening again. It was fine for so long.

I don't understand why these A series phones are so buggy. I have never had any phone that had this many consistent issues. My Nokia/Windows phone and Galaxy S6 were flawless. Ever since I got an A11 and A23 5G I started noticing problems.

I've heard the mid-range Samsung bumping into these bugs

I will have to take care to avoid them next time.

Yeah you would think the A series are a bump up from the M series
