Hi there!
One of my "problems" I have with the S2 is that i can't seem to be able to properly fit a picture on my screen.
Whenever i set a picture as wallpaper it will be zoomed in.
Is there a way i can fit a picture in its original size (so the whole picture can be seen) on the screen?
Many thanks,
Peter
If you are trying to set a scrollable wallpaper on a single portrait screen then it's not possible, but otherwise you have to click on the portrait icon, then drag the orange lines to the furthest corner of the picture, then set it.
There it goes "wrong", whenever i do that in portrait mode, and I select the part i want and set it as wallpaper... the result will be that it is zoomed in.
For example as i drag the orange lines around my girlfriend and I set it... it will only show me the chest, stomach and a part of the legs instead of the whole body.

You need 480 x 800 resolution photos/wallpapers to fit in portrait mode, any other resolution will slightly distort or won't fit on the screen.
I always crop my pictures in photoshop to 960x800 for wallpaper and 480x800 for lockscreen wallpaper. All WVGA androids use these resolutions.
I just checked, i dont loose any of my picture in that resolution.
Hope this helps.
The screens resolution is 480x800, not 960x800, the latter is for scrollable wallpapers, which I never use. So if someone wants to use a full picture set to one screen then he/she should use a wallpaper of phones resolution, i.e- 480x800

I have this same problem, i have resorted to just using the scrollable crop button and knowing that I'll lose the edges. There's certainly some sort of bug regarding this.
I have a photo taken with the SG2 camera that is 480x800. When I set wallpaper, I select portrait mode (non-scrollable, single photo).
However, the actual wallpaper is still zoomed in and I don't know why. Portrait-mode wallpapers seem to be broken, the phone wants to stretch photos into scroll-mode size even though it is not selected.
The lock screen wallpaper works fine.
Anyone know a fix?
Edit: The same problem is described here and also for other phones, no answer yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121133
Edit: I have a fix, but it's not a good one. Using a photo editor, add 240x800 pixels to either side of your image. This will produce a 960x800 image. Set this as your scrollable wallpaper (this will not work if you select portrait-mode). Then, use your launcher options to disable wallpaper scrolling.
If you are using stock launcher it should work. If your pic is 480 x 800, select portrait mode , drag the orange lines to fit the whole screen and your pic won't zoom in. The way Samsung uses this feature is crappy anyway. I gotta try 2-3 times before i can adjust the orange lines to fit the screen, without pic being zoomed-in.
I have a Dell Streak 5, but I bought a Galaxy S II last night. I realize the screen is a bit smaller, but I find the resolution or density extremely poor...I like a lot more on my screen, and it seems everything is too large. It's a show stopper for me. Is there anything I can do to change this before I return back to the Streak?
There isn't really a viable software fix for this, so just return the phone and get a Galaxy Note (1280 x 720 at 280 something PPI, 5.3inch screen).
1. Get your device rooted
2. Download "LCD Resolution" from Market.
The lower the number, the higher the resolution.
NOTE: Apps may not be fully optimized for this kind of resolution such as Phone, where the keypad is smaller than the screen. Market works with this DPI modification.
Also click on "Always Set On Boot" in the app so that it would automatically adjust your desired Density at boot.
Hi,
I have the following problem with my Xperia Neo (hallon):
My touch screen crashed some time ago, so I bought a new one and replaced it. Since then the touch screen works in most parts of the screen just fine. Only in the range around the navigation bar the touch screen does not work. I tracked my finger with the "pointer location" option so I can see that touches are recognized from 0x0 to 478x731 pixels. Beyond that "731 pixel line" the touch screen does not work, so the lower part of my screen does not react because its resolution is 480 x 854 pixels.
My assumption is that the touch screen resolution is too low for the new touch screen so I tried to increase it. I created a "/system/usr/idc/Vendor_0000_Product_0000.idc" file and set it according to the input device configuration guidelines and added a "build.scr" to my sdcard folder but nothing changed.
Any idea what my mistake is?
Regards
I have tried to lower my resolution to 720p with adb command , but the notch messes up the whole thing and you get black bars around the edges and a big notch like black bar on mid top of the screen , i wonder if there is an exact dpi and resolution for it to fit perfectly.
The best I got was a size of 967x2011 with density of 387. That's still a 19.8% reduction in in number of pixels displayed so I'll try it out. Sill leaves a small sliver of the status bar below the notch visible. Not ideal. I have been looking for a way to reduce status bar height with very little luck.
PS I know this is an old post but hey...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, srahman! Did you have any recent luck? I found this from Saki-EU but I do not know how does it work properly:

Maybe, if you have time, could you check this out?
I tried lowering my resolution but the functioning screen just shrunk and won't fill all of the screen, how can I fill all of the screen?
