Previously, no matter what over the past year or so I was able to see the entire preview of any live wallpaper or regular wallpaper that I was about to apply, but now after some changes (and I don't know what), all of a sudden there is a STUCK set of icons that I cannot get removed, and it says Preview in top left with a bunch of crap on the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? It is EXTREMELY annoying, and I even redid my phone just to get rid of it. Yes, it was annoying me THAT much. Problem is... it is STILL there.
Nobody knows how to make live wallpaper preview always show the full screen?

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
I have just changed my lock screen wallpaper and now there are to think black lines running vertically down each side of the screen these are not present on the ripple screen only after i have swiped ready to put my pattern in they appear it is like the wallpaper moves position slightly i have tried to change back to the default screen but it is still happing where they like this to start off with or am i going nuts???
postimage.org/image/6cm1iujxz this is the ripple screen
postimage.org/image/p3nyt0eif this is the lock screen with the lines down the side?
You're not going nuts. The same thing started happening to me all of a sudden. I changed the wallpaper and everything was fine (for sure!). At some point that border appeared, I don't really remember when it was or what caused it but I can't get it to go away.
I know it's a little OCD crazy, but these little things drive me nuts.
Bump
Hey, I got another issue yesterday. When the "ripple" (water) effect is active in the lockscreen options, the wallpaper basically lightens the right side of any wallpaper selected. If the wallpaper happens to be a pure black wallpaper, the lockscreen actually displays a GREY image, with a lighter shade of grey on the right side of the screen. It works fine though on the homescreen if the same image is selected, which is kinda odd. Mind you, it was working perfectly before this.
Also, today I noticed some "loophole" that allows me to select live wallpapers in the "home and lock screen", which I could not perform prior to this. Trying to change the "lock screen" though, does not give me the "live wallpaper" option (which is the normal behaviour).

it's only on the lockscreen with the ripple effect active.

No. Previously it was purely black, it only happened yesterday. =.=|| When you first get the phone, these issues are not there. I already owned the phone for 18 days or so.
EDIT: nvm, just realised you put "loljk" there >_<
bump still having this issue even with XXALF6 update
I'm gonna bump this as it just happened to me as well. Any fixes?
I think it's on all phones but you guys didn't notice
No it wasn't there when I first got the phone. I had a black lock screen without issues for a moment, and then this issue popped out of nowhere. Problem still persists until now. It only happens in the stock lock screen and not for widget locker etc.

The problem just randomly popped up for me too. After about a week of working properly. pretty strange problem.

I'm gonna bump this again, just in case someone found a fix for it.
Same Problem Exists
I'm bumping this too as I can confirm the same issue. A fix would be appreciated Samsung.
Seems to be a problem only when the lock screen background is very black. Also same issue, rooted I-9300. But downloading a different lock screen helps (I'm using holo lock screen, which looks like the JB lock).
Hey guys, I have an issue with my wallpaper and I should say I had the same issue on my s3 but just ignored it...anyways my wallpaper (not live) everytime I go back to the home screen or after I unlock my phone the wallpaper shifts/glitches for a split second then settles in its normal spot. I have removed my clocks or any icons on the screen and still does it, tried different wallpapers ( including stock) and still does it, sadly cant remember if it did it when I got it, any suggestions?

Do you know what resolution it is? It could be the phone trying to resize it every time you turn it on or something. I've never had any issues but I put a live wallpaper on my phone instantly.
Hello there,
I own a Pixel 5 and I want to replace or get rid of the wallpaper during the first sim/pattern phase.
When you restart the phone the first thing you see is the spinning Google logo. That's fine the way it is.
Now the next thing you see is the unlock sim card dialogue. During that phase, till you entered your pattern or used your fingerprint the first time, there's some ugly pinkish default background picture. It has nothing to do with the set wallpaper/theme you've chosen for your desktop or lock screen. In fact, I can't even find that picture on the pre-installed themes and wallpapers that come with the phone.
Now I know, you don't restart your phone that often. But it's ugly and still bothers me. I would even prefer a solid black background at the phase. Is it possible? Thanks in advance.
