Grayscale Mode Does Not Reverse Automatically

[adrianjosephg]

Grayscale mode does not automatically reverse when the specified time when it should be on (set in either Modes or Routines) ends. I have to specifically indicate Grayscale Off on next applicable Mode or Routine to make the screen appears Colored. It is as if my screen display is default in Grayscale. I turn off Power Saving Mode, Accessibility, and all those troubleshooting tips found in Samsung website but to no avail: https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/support/mobile-devices/how-to-troubleshoot-when-the-samsung-phone-d...

No issues with this since 2020 even though Power Saving Mode is On in my Note 20U. My S23U have the same settings with my old Note 20U and I just experience this after April 1, 2022 Security Patch Level Update so this is frustrating.

Wipe cache partition did not worked. Already report an error 3 hours ago.

Also this is S23U but the context is I have Note 20U before and using Grayscale mode ever since and I am not having an issue.

Right now, I need to specifically set Grayscale Off so that the display will have color.

I am having this problem as well. Did you have any solutions to this? Grayscale at night really helps with my eyes but it does not revert in the morning

I am having the same issue.  Has anyone found a solution?

Also having this issue. I had to create a routine to be able to turn grayscale off, so now the phone acts like the default is grayscale.
