Come on, people, I can't be the only one who has this issue? I can't seem to find any means of getting a completely black background on the stock screenlock! Every black pic turns out brown in the bottom and fades to black upwards. It's really evident when you are unlocking it and you see the edge of the screenlock on a black homescreen wallpaper, you clearly see the difference. Please, how can I fix this? How do themers set the lockscreen wp? Cause it works if I flash a black theme and have not selected a different wallpaper before...

The title says it. I made a completely black picture on my PC, and use it as the background for the stock lockscreen. Despite this, there's a brownish horzontal banding across the bottom of the screen that fades upwards across a third of the screen, when it should be black! I thought this was a screen deficiency at first, but then i saw that this banding isn't there when i display black images in the gallery or anywhere else except for the lock screen.
Build GINGERBREAD.XWKE1 stock ROM, rooted, Kernel XWKE2.
1. Does everyone else have this?
2. Does it go away with an alternative lockscreen?
3. Are there usually this many bugs on new Android-devices, as there evidently are on the SGS2?

I changed to a black blackground too a while ago.
As I found out it is actually better for your battary to have a black background.
look here http://blog.stevemould.com/phone-battery-save-black-wallpaper
just read the article on that.
Is there any way to get more themes, I have the white version of the phone and it would be great if I could have color matching theme.
The themes included are all dark, and they dont actually change the colour of notification bar, and the menus only show the wallpaper through them.
This is my first post so sorry if Ive done something wrong.

you should try going back to the subforum where it's title themes. your best bet is there enjoy!!!
And a white theme means more white, brightly lit pixels that would consume more of your battery, just like reading e-books on the mobile: black letters on white drains battery visibly faster compared to night mode: white letters on dark background... is white theme that important?
thanks
Thanks for your replies, didnt know whether there was some sort of Sony store where I could download themes for this specific device.
1 quick question, how do I completely disable the auto backlight feature, its annoying sometimes becuase I keep putting my finger over the light sensor and it dims it so I cant see the screen .
thanks again

I think that reasoning is only valid for AMOLED screens; for all other types, afaik, the backlight is on for all of the screen, and 'black' just blocks the backlighting from going through (which is why real black is quite hard to get in an LCD display)

As for white theme, that would certainly hurt the eyes at night, but hey its your choice.
Hi Guys
My sgs 3 has a strange pattern on the lockscreen wallpapers, if they are dark you can see like brighter areas, bits of say a full black wallpaper show as grey.
I did think the screen was faulty but when I use same wallpapers for home screen/view pics/movies this problem is not there, its only on the lockscreen wallpaper, If I use a very bright one its hard to see but any black/dark red/blue/dark green will show this odd blotch...mainly right side.
Thanks for any help
Settings>Security>Lock screen options
Untick "Ripple effect".
Is there some issue with the phone? Movies/games/pics all fine, I just get strange blotch on lockscreen, and what makes it even stranger if I use a live wallpaper on the lockscreen its fine,i only get the problem if i set a picture for the lockscreen 9worse with dark colours)

As B3311 just pointed out, turn off ripple effect and the weird pattern on lockacreen is gone. It needs to be there in order to be able to create the ripple effect.
Hi
I saw the post but I am just keen to find out what/why its there, you say it needs to be but that seems like a odd thing for Samsung to have, is there other posts covering this as I would like to find out if this is a samsung tech reply (its normal) or if its been seen by us and thats an answer we have came to.
thanks
Hey guys, I got my phone last Saturday and have been playing around with it ever since.
I noticed that I had the night clock bug (whole screen is lit up) and as far as I know it's already a confirmed software bug. What I also noticed though was that my lock screen is also lit up. I'm using a pure black wallpaper which works well when the phone is unlocked (appears pure black) but the black is lit up when the lock screen is shown. It's almost like there's backlight bleeding. In the home screen and lock screen preview though it shows that it should be pure black
Here are screenshots of the "bug". I'm actually thinking it's a software bug since it was captured by the screenshot. http://imgur.com/a/p5maP (Take note the the blacks on the first image is different from the other 3)
Was wondering if this bug is related to the night clock bug or a defect with my unit.
If anyone is willing to help, kindly try changing your wallpaper to a solid black color and check if the blacks on the home screen and lock screen is different.
Thanks! (I have 4 days left until I won't be abe to replace my unit so I'm trying to make sure everything's good)

They're referring to the Night Clock alone. I have that problem as well as a lockscreen problem. Haven't seen anyone reporting if they have the lock screen problem so I'm trying to figure out if it's a software glitch or a bug with my unit.
Basically the lock screen preview when applying a new wallpaper shows that the lock screen should have super amoled blacks but when I lock the phone the black is lit up.

If there's any consolation I experienced this very problem. Were you using fingerprint to unlock? I hadn't seen it because I had swipe to unlock.
I still haven't figured out how to fix it.

That's normal. This happens because the lock screen puts a slight filter on your wallpaper. It de-saturates the image. You can try with a solid red color, it might be easier to see.

Not, really. This only happens when you have Fingerprints/Pattern set up as your Screen lock type.
If you set it to Swipe, with the water droplet effect, there's no "filter."
Someone found kind of a solution to this, but it didn't work for me: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...t-rid-dark-filter-lock-screen-wallpapers.html

Yeah it's clearly a bug, but OP thought it might be a defect of his phone. I was just reassuring OP that the problem exists in my phone as well. Thanks for that link. I did try the solution they proposed but it didn't work for me either...
Solution not working...plz another fix?
I have the same bug on my Galaxy J5 (super amoled), I use pin to unlock it. It is pretty annoying. I use the same black picture for both lock screen and background pic, and after unlocking the phone, black backlight turns off. Swipe to unlock solves the problem, but I have to take one of the disadvantages : either backlight or not locked phone.
Download "klwp live wallpaper maker" from playstore and make a all black wallpaper . Save it go to settings ---> background/wallpaper, set KLWP as lockscreen and wallpaper/background.
Not solved? are u using xposed? if so, download Bright Lockscreen and see if this helps.
I might have an issue with my phone. I just wanted to check if anyone had the same problem.
When i have a white screen i get that grey beam coming from the second screen down on the white.
Is that normal or the screen is messed up ?
Also, on the second screen, when i get a notification that has a white background, it seems a little black.

I've noticed the same problem. I think it's due to the secondary screen led not being as brightly lit as the main one. It should look better when the second screen is active.
