Hi guys, well the problem is that since the first time I switched on the phone, all wallpapers I put, it change always to a blue default wallpaper, in the main screen and the lockscreen. I think that this should be a bug or a problem with my software. So, I hope you can help me to solve this problem that it's not a big one but is a kinda annoying.
Thanks for your time and sorry for my english.
P.S. another question, when the bright it's at max, didn't see the blacks very bright?

Hi all, finally got my S2 and I'm having a play around....
Love the screen, but it just doesn't seem as bright in apps as it does on the home screen. I know that the browser has its own brightness setting and I've jacked that all the way up but it's still not as bright, I'm sure...
Is there any other settings I might have missed somewhere or are other people seeing the same?
Thanks
Yes, options-->display--> uncheck automatic screenpower saving(i don't know the exact in english).
You get your birghtness now.
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.
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.
Hello everyone, I have a device that's called archos hello 5, it's something like Google hub, lenovo display Amazon show etc. It's running Android 8.1.0
I have 2 problems, first is that I can't use a live wallpaper on it, have no idea why but I can't, when I try to apply it I get a message that says can't use live wallpaper. Never came across any android device before that didn't allow me to apply and use a live wallpaper, any solutions? I tried installing live wallpaper picker but it doesn't help, crashes.
2nd problem is that this device is made to be used as a bedside thing but the screen is too bright even on the lowest brightnesses, I tried all possible apps for dimming the brightness but none help, the problem is with screens backlit intensity, is there any way to lower/reduce screens light, dimm the lcd backlit?
Thank you in advance for your help, I sincerely appreciate it.
Anyone any suggestions?
