Hey guys! Ill try to make myself clear ! Im encountering the following issue:
whenever im trying to use an image as a wallpaper for htc sense it`s been displayed somehow blurry (i guess it doesnt have anything to do with the transparency settings) .
I`ve tried to use the same image for lock screen and sense screen. The result is that in lock screen it looks very sharp and in sense screen its blurry!
Any ideas ?
What dimensions do you use? I noticed the animated ones are 480 x 696...
i didnt care much about the resolution ... i just used to download wallpapers and use them! Eventually, i tried to crop the images to 800/480 but that didnt seem to be a solution!
Are you trying to say that its something similar to that "contact pics thumbnails problem" ?
On a second thought, im encountering the same problem even if i use the stock set of images ! Another thing is that if im using the default ANIMATED wallpapers things seem to be ok ! So the problem occurs only when im using the "weather wallpaper"
Well, if the picture is anything else than the required dimensions (the word "resolution" is actually inaccurate), the system will try to either shrink or magnify it, a process which can cause various artifacts, including the blurry effect you are describing.
I would try an image with the dimensions I quoted in my previous post to see if that looks all right.
thanks! im gonna try now and tell you the result
nothing new ! Still the same problem! Wallpapers in lock mode are displayed correctly, the ones in weather mode are blurry!
Strange... I may try it myself this evening if I have the time.
*update* ... aften another day of "testing" i guess its all because HTC sense. Ive installed SPB mobile shell and things are ok there, so, luckily its not a problem with the display!
It's because HTC Sense compresses the wallpaper into this random format and stores it somewhere...
umm ... and what should i do about it ?
Hey! Can someone with a note set a pre black background a the lock screen background and report whether it looks normal? Someone had reported a problem with the gallery background with a black image, but I couldn't find a mention of lock screen there. Just google image search "black" and download and set it as lock screen. Seems to be giving me pinkish hues... same image works fine as a desktop background...

Most lockscreen wallpapers look horrible on my Note, not sure if my 240dpi is causing this. I use another lockscreen app set to transparent, so I don't care.
The Note's screen is 24 bit, so a picture with 16 or 8 bit depth might not be rendered properly.
Best to find a 24 bit image to test, try Google search.

Something weird is going on with the background on the lockscreen when i use a black picture.

Same here.
Good to know that I'm not alone. Every other background seems fine. Same thing happens with the gallery background when the only image in the folder is a pitch black one, right?

Well all those images render fine in other applications on the phone so its the lockscreen wallpaper 'setter' wich messes it up I think.
Ya, I'm pretty sure too that that is the case...
I have a black lockscreen and it looks great.
I have noticed that when I have 'screen filter' app running, it dims the foreground but causes the background to do the 'grey' thing.
I have most of the auto display stuff turned off (auto brightness, auto adjust screen power)

Looks like the same problem as with the video playback:

That guy mentions that his blacks aren't completely black. Our problem here is that setting a completely black image as the lockscreen leads to a messed pattern with greyish/pinkish stripes...
edit ; same thing occurs on mine. I even created two black background non compressed, 24 bit, one even with 285 dpi.. both show the wierd little gray stripes on lock screen. only notice it in very dim light by the way and even then if i look very close.
this is what i use. both screens look black as night.

So no lock screen issue with your phone?

Use the darker red "sun" wallpaper gallery image - awesome on mine!
I have the same problem...
Has anyone tried restoring?
I set a black image and got the very dark grey bars others have described. However, I reset it to the original wallpaper and noticed that the white-ish parts of my background has bars as well! Just not as noticeable, and its only on the lock screen.
This is my background picture by the way:

There seems to be some kind of gradient over the image on the lock screen - I'm just using the default for now, but if you set the default as your normal background as well as lock background, there's quite a difference. Could it be this gradient which is causing the issue with pure black backgrounds?
I'm using widget locker and here is my lockscreen with the homescreen wall paper which uses solid black background color
I am having the same issue. I just noticed it yesterday. I really thought it had something to do with the phone going below the minimum brightness it was designed for, but if you look at the notification bar it's still a clean black.
My guess is the phone is compressing the lockscreen wallpaper to save memory.

Can people try WL (If you've purchased it) and see if it does the job?
I've recently flashed Tytung's Beta10 rom and when I set a wallpaper(HD) it appears as its good, but when I reboot the phone (Turn it off) it turns blurry or somewhat zoomed in.... is this an issue or am I doing something wrong? (More specif I used a nonscrollable HD pic from an app. ) Thanks in advance!
I had a similar issue with beta10, the wallpaper was not covering the whole screen. I just chose another one from the ones that came with ICS and this solved the problem. Try changing the wallpaper.
My thing is that I set a wallpaper, when I do it's perfect I crop it so the scroll thing wont bother me, but when I reboot, it blurrys...or it seems zoomed in as if the whole wallpaper was set -_-
I have the same issue... chose a wallpaper and always it zoomed in...
I can only see the left side of my car

(Sorry, I can't post links yet!)
Could I ask a few of you guys do me a favor and try testing out some live wallpapers for me? I installed this live wallpaper and loved the way that it looked. The only problem I was having with it, was that whenever I power off my screen while at the home screen, the system hangs and the screen does not immediately shut off. Sometimes it can take as long as 30 seconds for the screen to shut down.
Initially I was using the stripped Verizon ROM and figured it could have something to do with that, so I went back to full stock and it was still doing the same thing. It's not just that live wallpaper either. Using just about any live wallpaper that is a little graphics intensive causes the issue. I have my screen locked with a pattern, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. If I use a normal wallpaper, the problem does not occur, just live wallpaper.
I don't know exactly what could be causing it or if the phone is just that way by design. I have that same live wallpaper installed on my Dinc and the issue is non-existent. It's not really a big deal, as I have some pretty sweet wallpaper pictures. But the animated leaves look sooooo good.
I got a Zuk Edge yesterday it came with Android 7.0 out of the box ZUI 2.5 and the phone is really great, fast, smooth, gorgeous display etc.
But i am having some small yet bothersome issues, first one is the movies app Flixter says it can not find location, and when i input my postal code or city it says i need to be more specific. Second is i only sometimes get notifications and the only way to solve this seems to be to lock the apps so they stay open a la xiaomi Miui style. Third is the wallpaper, when i put a wall paper on, it gives me the colour of the frame rather than the picture. so basically on the lock screen there is the picture in the middle and some colour around it, on the background it only gives me the colour of the background.
Honestly none of these issues are a bi deal but it would be nice to fix them if possible. Anyone encounter these issues and found a solution? Any ideas?
TIA.

I Have The Zuk Z2 And I Had Some Of The Same Problems. If You Want To See Your Wallpaper Without That Burry Effect, Just Put HD Wallpapers, Turn That On And It Will Work. The Only Way To Fix The Notification Problem Is To Flash A Custom ROM, That's What I Did On My Zuk Z2
