Dull lockscreen wallpaper when using Fingerprint - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I noticed that when I set a photo to use as my lockscreen wallpaper that it looks super dull and washed out. I use the fingerprint lock, so I went into settings and set it to swipe. Well the picture looks perfectly vivid and bright on the lockscreen now. But when I switch back to fingerprint it gets dull.
Can anyone else replicate this bug? If so, what is the cause of this?!

I'm not using stock either. You won't notice it with stock image, just custom. It's a slight dullness when using the fingerprint unlock.

Yep. It is like this on the s6 as well but not as noticeable bc of the smaller screen size. That's really annoying now bc i want more security my picture quality goes down the drain! Thanks for confirming.

Lock Screen Wallpaper Zooms Out

So, I just changed my lock Screen wallpaper from the default one for the first time.
When the screen turns on the image is pulled out, or in and out. I almost want to refer to it as a zoom but Im not sure thats what it is. Its almost like the lock screen is adjusting how much of the image to show every time i turn the screen on.
Anyone experienced this or know whats causing it?
It is by design for looks, think of it as an animation.

I agree I just came from the iPhone 6s plus and the fingerprint scanner was beyond great.

My wife has the Note 5 and between the two, I still like mine better. Its just a better footprint overall.
I've got both. I don't see any difference in performance except when I compared them in Gear VR. The Note 5 was way much smoother for some reason (maybe something dragging down the S7E in the background..?) picture quality is slightly better on S7E but it feels like the Note 5 has slightly larger field of view.
Otherwise it's up to everyone personal preference design-wise.

Notification bar layout changes constantly

Hi, I have a little bug on my Samsung S7 edge that I had on my S4, S5, S6 and now on my S7 edge.
As you can see in the images attached the layout of the notification bar constantly changes(stock and Good Lock). I think that is something like a little bug, this is a little bit annoying for me...
Do you know if there is a way to send this issue to the Samsung Developer Team?
Thank you!
Could be to help prevent amoled burn in.

he meant that the background is not completely dark as it should be!
there can be several reasons for that.
years ago AMOLED screens always had a faint glow when powered on (even if displaying pure black). Samsung got rid of this with some optimizations...
in this case I guess it's a driver problem!

Thank you for that. I completely missed that. Thought the screen glow was from the device he used to take the picture.
