Samsung plans to resolve clock overlapping issue in upcoming software updates

Samsung has acknowledged the clock overlap issue on One UI devices and confirmed to resolve it with upcoming software updates. The clock issue occurs primarily when LockStar is used with an automatic restart routine.

Users have noted that sometimes upon turning on their phone, the lock screen clock appears to overlap and a manual restart is required to fix it temporarily. Several Galaxy models including Galaxy S23, Galaxy S24, Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and more are affected by this issue.

In response to this concern, a Samsung community moderator apologized for any inconvenience caused and assured users that the company is actively working on a solution. He also confirmed that the issue occurs specifically when using LockStar and Autostart Routine simultaneously.

The good news is that Samsung is planning to release a software update shortly to address this issue. The update aims to fix the clock overlap issue to enhance the user experience and ensure seamless functionality of the lock screen.

Samsung advises Galaxy users to keep their software up to date to take advantage of this upcoming improvement. However, the community moderator hasn’t confirmed any timeline for the release of this update but we can expect it soon as a bundle of Galaxy users facing it.

Till then, we recommend turning off any LockStar or Autostart Routines function for a better Galaxy experience. Stay tuned with us for further details regarding the software and app update rollout.
