Hi everyone, hoping someone here can help. On my S7 Edge running 7.0, the AOD display had the option to display the clock, date, battery percentage, and any calendar appointments I had for the day. On my new S8, I can get all that to display with AOD, except for the calendar appointments. There doesn't seem to be any sort of option to get calendar information onto the AOD. Clicking on the "content to show" option provides no option to select calendar information. no matter which "clock style" I select (even the one labeled "calendar"). Not sure why Samsung would seemingly give the S7 Edge more AOD options and not do the same for the S8. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Looking for same answer! Any late breaking updates to this riddle?
This is the one feature I relied on the most with my S7 Edge. Why would they take away a feature like that? The whole idea of the AOD is to provide value to looking at the screen.
You can partially and awkwardly achieve some of that functionality by adding "Today's schedule" under facewidgets. But to see it on AOD you'll need to first double-tap the clock, then swipe and then you have 5 sec to comprehend what's on the screen because it quickly changes to clock again.

The Calendar Widget on my tablet isn't changing to reflect the day of the week.
The main time and date one updates properly but the widget doesn't - a removal and replacement on the home page fixes for the day but next day same thing.
I have looked everywhere for a setting I have missed but can't see anything.
Can anyone shed some light on this and or suggest a better calandar widget that will update as required. i don't need anything too complex just something to keep track of a few appointments etc./
thanks
Are you using the regular calendar widget that is installed by default?
Yes, I am.
Sorry, I should have made that clearer in my question.
I think I have gone through every menu option in settings for my S4 i9505 but I can't for the life of me figure out how to disable the calendar appointment reminder that appear on the lock screen. I believe it is Samsung S Planner application that is doing it but I can't find any options for it under the general settings for Security, Display, Lock Screen or in the settings for S Planner. I'm not sure where else to look. I'd like to carry on using S Planner as the application interface isn't too bad but I really want to disable to calendar reminder on the lock screen. Any ideas?
Thanks

I tried this and found two apps one called S Planner and another called S Planner Widget. S Planner had the Show Notification check box disabled (i.e. could not toggle the settings) and the Disable button was inactive (could not click this). However, the S Planner Widget could be changed so I disabled the Show Notification and also Disabled it. I believe it is the S Planner Widget that was the offender so hopefully this will have fixed it. I'll know for sure after a few appointments have come and gone and nothing get's splatted across my lock screen. Thanks for the help.

As it turns out, this did not fix the issue. The S Planner application has an option in the application for "Set alerts and notifications". The options are:
1. Alert
2. Status bar notification
3. Off
I've now set this to Off which has stopped the lock screen view coming up. The notification bar notifications are still coming up (presumably this is coming from the main Calendar application). The notification bar notifications is something I still wanted to retain but unfortunately clicking on this notification just takes me to the normal Calendar app rather than S Planner.
Doesn't seem a way around it as far as I can see.

I have used the 1st option (1. Alert) and it seems to be that the reminders appear on the notification bar, and in the first occasion of the reminder as a dismiss or snooze screen but NOT on the lock screen. Give that a try.
Cross-posted this to the android apps forum the other day, but hoping for more response here..
A feature from the Note 7 series that has yet to make it to the regular S7 or S7 edge is the agenda view for your calendar on the always on display. However, there is now an option for a custom picture to be set as your always on image.
Is it possible for an app or tasker set of actions to:
1. create a jpg of your days' agenda / update jpg of agenda each time the calendar changes.
2. Set AOD image to jpg
The agenda view didn't get pushed in the latest AOD updates, and who knows when AOD will have full note 7 functionality...
Sprint S8 variant here:
I'm unable to get notifications of any kind on my lock screen. All notification settings are on for all apps and have it set to display all details of notifications. Also did a full reset on my phone and still no notifications. The edge lighting also doesn't work when the screen is off. I've also tried the Screen Always On option and still no notifications other than the LED. #Annoyed
My notifications don't display on my lock screen either with my S8. Getting annoyed too! Paid good money for this phone and one of several features I consider important to have on my phone.

What kind of unlocking method did you choose?
I had the same issue because i have choosen to unlock the phone without any security and in this case there are no notifications on the lock screen.
Ok so I finally figured it out...i had no security for a lock screen and wasn't receiving the notifications on AOD. I dont like having any security. So I changed my security to Swipe and then went to
-Settings
-Display
-Navigation Bar
-turn on Unlock with Home Button
Now youll get your notification on AOD without have any security. You just have to long press the home button to get to home screen from AOD.
Hi!
Whenever I receive a notification, the AOD shows an icon for the relevant app.
I would like to see a detailed notification, like who sent the message and a preview, not just an icon.
I've already went into the AOD settings and made sure "hide content" and "notification icons only" are not ticked, but no change.
I have the G950U1, lock screen enabled and AOD enabled. not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Would really appreciate help.
That is how it is supposed to work. There's no official way to show the whole notification on AOD other than if you enable Edge Lighting where it will display a preview for a couple seconds before disappearing leaving just the icon to double tap.
Although I am interested if there's some way to jimmy it to be more useful too.
Well, that's disappointing...
Thanks for the reply.
Go to Settings/Apps/Options (3 dots at the top right corner)/Show system apps. Go into Alway On Display, hit Force Stopp, go to Memory and delete data and cache.
Check AoD again.
Just did what you suggested.
Except for now constantly showing a two overlapping circles and "double tap here to find out how to use AOD", no change...
Now, how do I get rid of that icon and text and get the full notification on AOD, if that's possible?
Edit: got rid of the icon and text, but still no full notification on AOD.
Can anyone share a screenshot of full notifications on AOD?
