Split Second Blank Screen When Unlocking Phone - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I noticed when switching to a regular wallpaper (not using the infinity wallpaper) there is a blank screen for about a split second when clicking the power button to turn on the lock screen. It only does this when you are not using the infinity wallpaper. I confirmed my friends phone (S8 PLUS) also does this when using a regular wallpaper.
Anyone know whats causing this? I dont know how i just noticed it. My s7 edge never did this. It just seems weird and i think it just started happening because i didnt notice it before.

can u test with another launcher? nova or apex
it can be launcher issue that set wallpaper everytime (not defaul wallpapers)

home screen rotation?

I've had my Hero since 10-9 and up until yesterday I had never seen the home screen rotate. The phone was in the process of opening Peep, and for a breif second the phone lagged, flashed to the home screen (which was in landscape) and then to Peep.
I've done tons of google'ing trying to figure out if home screen rotation is a feature that actually exists or not; and all i'm finding are conflicting reports. Some people say that the feature doesn't exist until you root the phone. Others say it will work if you have widgets that will fit in landscape mode (i've tried that, doesn't seem to help).
does anyone have a clear cut answer for this?
i'm going to say no it is not an available feature.
sure does exist, I have a Hero with Sprint, and it has it, but sometime it laggs when it has to rotate back
I'll be honest, the home screen should not rotate (atleast My European HTC Hero does not). The reason being the widgets are too big to fit in landscape.
htc senceUI home (default GUI) does not rotate the home screen
htc senceUI widgets (default widgets) on default home screen do not rotate
android home (not enabed by default on hero) does not rotate the home screen
openhome (3rd party app) does rotate the home screen (off by default)
htc senceUI apps; peep, mail, messenger, browser etc, does rotate in app if enabled in settings>sound & display>Orientation (checked by default)
pretty clear answer for those who want clear cut answers

what is your widget set up on your home screen(s)? I would really like to make mine do it without installing anything else...

Lockscreen wallpaper.

I'm running ShubCraft 1.5 and trying to find a way of changing the wallpaper in the default lockscreen. I have tried LockBot but it was very buggy, half the time didn't stop the default lock screen from appearing (meaning I had two lock screens) and seemed to effect battery life, not to mention removing my Handcent SMS notifications. It was basically unusable.
I have searched to no avail, does anyone know how to change the lockscreen wallpaper without effecting the default homesceeen one?
Cheers.
I know when I was playing with the cyanogen no them version there was two options for changing main and lock wallpaper. That may have something to do with Adw launcher and I take that off right away. so have a looksy at or around those settings.
Edit apparently when the phone locks what you're actually seen is you home wallpaper and thats why its the same.

Live Wallpaper Delaying Screen Shut-Off?

play dot google dot com /store/apps/details?id=com.maxelus.freshleaveslivewallpaper
(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.

Lock screen wallpaper won't change - Nexus 6P

Problem: Cannot change my lock screen wallpaper. It's stuck.
Phone: Nexus 6P, Unlocked (not rooted), Android N (NPD56N)
I'm hoping this is just a bug in the developer build of "N" and will go away when official release is out. Anyone else experiencing this on their phones? Any idea how to correct?
If I knew where the active wallpaper file or code is I'd root and try to get in there and mess with it... but I don't.

Any solution for this? Same thing happened to my 6P last week. Lock screen is different than my wallpaper (which I normally would like!) except the lock screen photo is not centered and is driving me nuts. But I can't change it. Using Nova Launcher, but tried Google Now launcher as well.

Download and use the nexus or pixel launcher to long press and change wallpaper. It will give the choice of home, lock, or both.

How to change lockscreen wallpaper on kindke fire HD 10(gen 7)?

So after I removed the special offers on the lockscreen, it shows some (around 5 I guess?) stock wallpaper on the lockscreen routinely. I know the wallpaper can be changed in display > wallpaper, but I can't find the place to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Is there a walk-around to achieve it?
I've got the 6th gen HD 8, but in mine, I browse photos using the Prime Photos app. When I see one I want to use, tap it so it displays full-screen size, then tap the 3 dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the pic. One of the choices is Wallpaper. On my 8 HD, choosing and confirming this will set it as both the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper.

Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it. I was looking for the content related to "lockscreen wallpaper" and I didn't know that home screen wallpaper & lock screen wallpaper are changed at the same time.
Also, I can confirm that using your method and going to display > wallpaper have the same result.
There is a video which shows you how to do this

Totally unnecessary. Dragonfire1024 has demonstrated the way to change internal lockscreen wallpaper in his thread. As far as I know, that's the only way to customize the lockscreen wallpaper in a rotational way without using Amazon's app.
So...
What am i missing here? I've just changed my wallpaper, but my lock screen is still blissfully rotating pics from the folder of stock images that came pre-installed
EDIT found the answer in another thread. I mistakenly used Google Pics to change my wallpaper, not the control panel setting, which doesn't change the lockscreen.
On the other hand, this is a good work around to have different lock screen\wallpaper images.?

Sorry, but this was a year ago and I have no idea where I found it. Like I said in my comment though, my solution was to use the control panel. Also, did you pay to bypass the "sponsored" tablet? If not, you will always see the ads and never have control of your lock screen.
Other than that, I really can't offer much help. To be honest, I barely notice what my screen looks like these days. I use my Fire so infrequently I just open it, use it, and shut it off. So I don't know if the interface has changed.
Wish I could be of more help.
Disable the unwanted lock screen. Can you use Kustom Lock Screen Creator from Google Play Store
