When I set a routine for my AOD to be on always when charging I will see my lock screen wallpaper intially, but after a period of time I sometimes get a black screen with the message: "No photos selected". Even though that lock screen photo is in my gallery. How do I fix this?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! That “No photos selected” message usually happens when the AOD can’t find the wallpaper even if it’s in your Gallery.

Here’s how to fix it:

Please make sure the photo is saved on your phone, not just in the cloud.

Re-select your lock screen wallpaper directly from the Gallery in Settings > Lock screen > Wallpaper.

Turn off Dynamic Lock Screen if it's on. That can sometimes confuse the routine.

Turn off battery optimization for AOD: Go to Settings > Battery > Background usage limits > Never sleeping apps, and add Always On Display.

Using one photo instead of rotating ones works best with routines.

Let us know how it goes!

1.) The photo is saved on my phone.
2.) I don't know where to find this. "The gallery in Settings > Lock screen > Wallpaper"
Are you telling me to load the gallery app, find the lock screen wallpaper and re-select it as
the lock screen wallpaper? Or change this in the phones settings via Wallpapers and Style? Or am I long pressing the home screen > Wallpapers and Style > Change Wallpaper. The
steps you mention don't make sense to me.
3.) Dynamic lock screen isn't enabled.
4.) I don't see a way to add AOD to "Never auto sleeping". AOD does show as a selectable
option.

I still notice this issue even with the implementation of the adjustments you suggested.

I'll investigate your response later. Today I noticed that getting a calendar reminder caused the "no photos selected" screen to appear this time around. So it would seem it switched from the AOD wallpaper to the reminder notification but couldn't switch back to the AOD wallpaper.
