You can have a look through mine as well. There are quite a few black and white shots in it. High contrast B&W photos look great on our screens.
BTW there are alot of NSFW shots in here.

Check out jonnybuenos Black Gloss thread on here. He has an app for choosing wallpapers that has some pretty awesome ones that are mostly black.
There is also the "Hot Babes" gallery... not really my style, but there was one artsy looking upclose pic of a lady that is in black/white and her hands cover most of her mouth.... looks pretty amazing on the Vibrant.
Thanks a lot

I used the rare black wallpapers app from the market and saved one to the sd and then used the built in crop function to only use a small portion of the black background as the actual paper

I just took a picture with finger covering the camera lens. Then I applied that as my wall paper. Just because I'm to lazy to open paint and make a true black .jpg....lol it works though.

Hi.I don't know if i am at the right topic but I have bought galaxy s ii since 4th of may and i have a problem when i open the browser. At the bottom left side there is a tiny white spot like burnt pixel. Only there exists.Is this a bug or what? Please tell me what to do.
Sorry for my english
Thanks

What the f? Is that a dead pixel or what? Try inputting *#0*# in keypad and select the first three colors (Red, Green, Blue) you see there, do you find the same there? or is it only in the browser?
It's not a dead pixel, default browser behaves like that. Try with a different browser and the white spot doesn't appear It's for hardware acceleration if i'm not mistaking, definitely not a flaw.
Thank you i did it and no white spot exists
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Its to keep the hardware acceleration alive.
If you don't have it, you are running a 2.3.4 custom rom with the hardware acceleration off to fix the browser lag.
Thanks for the replay. I've just chaged browser (dolfin) and there is no white spot
I run android 2,3,3

Hi people!
I was just wondering: If my homescreen is black, would I save more battery than if my homescreen was colorful?
A silly question.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
I do not think that applies to LCD screens, as I read that it blocks the pixel to form black.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=fact-or-fiction-black-is
based on those, looks like using black is same as white or even more power hungry than white.
Howeever on LED is opposite of course.

Whenever I view a plain black picture(In a dark room), I notice some black patches on my screen. Theu are black like the glass paint of the screen. The black ones are scattered across the screen. Is that normal? I can see the black patches when ai'm in a dark room and view a pure black image.
Thanks.
Yeah it's normal for our displays. You can search, and there's a lot of threads discussing this

I've noticed that when going fullscreen in dolphin browser (taskbar is hidden) there is a stain of icons and clock along the top where the taskbar usually is.
Anyone else got this issue?

How could he search for burn in if they dont know what it is ^.^
Is it only when going fullscreen in dolphin? or if you put say a pure white image up does it remain? If it is still there on other apps/pictures then it will be burn in and have a look at the tread linked.
If not it could be an issue with your rom and that browser.

Pure white shows it (easiest way is fullscreen in Dolphin Browser).
Looks as if there is no fix
Luckily the S3 is on the way, would have gone for the HTC One X but it lacks a microSD slot.
