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, 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).

yup i noticed this also must be needed to create ripples i mean the water needs to bounce off something right? loljk
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.
Recently, when I used a darker wallpaper I realized that there is some sort of discolouration on Lock Screen. In the images I have attached I used a Black wallpaper for better understanding. I have used the same black wallpaper on the Home screen and the Lock screen. On the home screen there isn't any discolouration but on the lock screen there is:
Home Screen:
View attachment 1576534
Lock screen:
View attachment 1576536
Any suggestions to fix this?
This is because of the ''water'' effect.
I know it's really anoying with black wallpapers
You can turn this option off in lockscreen settings
Yup it's the "ripple" effect that causes that. I just turned it off, it keeps the wallpaper nice and crisp
Yup! That worked
Yup! That worked

Glad to hear it solved your problem.
When you got some questions plz ask them (Forum or PM)
Hey Guys,
I've been tinkering with my S6 Edge (64gb Black Sapphire) the past few days and noticed that after unlocking / minimizing an app and swiping back to the home screen, my Time and Weather widget (stock) lags. It doesn't really take a long time (max I've seen it lag for is around 1 sec) before it appears but I was wondering if it's normal with Android / Samsung devices or if it's a defect with my unit.
I still have a few more days left before my replacement period ends so I wanted to know if it's normal or if I should have it replaced. Thanks in advance to all those who'll reply.
Also, if you have time, kindly check the other thread about another bug I've encountered. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/lock-screen-taking-advantage-super-t3094656
What you're experiencing is called redraw and it's quite common to touchwiz. The solution for that would be a third party launcher.

Thank you for replying. Already installed 1weather and am using its widget.
Was just wondering if you know if the other bug I'm encountering is normal as well. It's the one linked in my first post.
Basically I noticed that the pure black wallpaper I have for my lock screen is lit up. The same wallpaper has super amoled blacks in the home screen and when I view the photo I used for the wallpaper in the gallery though. The preview shown when setting the wallpaper shows that the lock screen should be pure black as well but that isn't the case.
I'm still unsure whether it's being caused by the same bug which causes the night clock bug or if it's a defect with my unit.
Possible Fix
I was having the same issue. I was fooling around with different possible solutions and seem to have resolved the issue by disabling the city location setting in the stock clock/weather widget on the home screen. I have not had this issue since disabling that setting. I do not travel out of my home town so I will only turn that setting back on when I travel. I hope this helps you and that you receive this reply, since you posted in April. Let me know if that helps.
