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.
Its greyish with stripes and stuff... realy strange... the same pic works fine as a homescreen background.

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 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)
I Just got a ZTE ZMax Pro (Z981) today from MetroPCS overall the phone is great but im having a weird issue when setting my wallpaper, when viewing images in the gallery or previewing to set the wallpaper everything looks fine but when the image is a wallpaper i notice a slight change in the color like a slight green tint.
preview images below edit: cant post images... any idea what could be causing this ? Using Stock with Nova Launcher, Color Correction is off.
This is a minor problem and isnt a deal breaker to me but if its fixable it be nice.
Any help or input would be appreciated, thank you.

Have you played with your screen anamation in developer options it will change visuals as well as if you have a adaptive brightness set u may just b seeing rough version or a installed app affecting you , I use Nova without issue on the z981 ,it preforms sexy like a unlimited data mod lol , and it may make a diff if you are using free version or paid lite may have bugs I'd try my custom launcher c if it has a better effect or check , check all you nova visuals you may have simply made a mistake in display preference good luck
Thanks for the input, i had animation scale to off, and reverting it back to 1x and restarting did not fix the issue, also playing with the nova animations and tinkering with settings didnt fix it, im using nova prime, tried with the stock launcher also gives me the darker wallpaper, im not sure what it is, because when im looking at the image to set it the colors are fine, its not until its a wallpaper that its darker, like i said it isnt horrible after awhile i dont even notice but its just odd..
what is this custom launcher you speak of?
and yes this phone is pretty amazing, i was little bummed at first because the blade was out of stock where i went but upon further review im happy i got this, could care less about the camera.. on another note can we be expecting android 7.0 in the future ?
I am the only one who have this issue..?
When i scroll on the screen, espescially when i am on black backround (like nova launcher settings), there is a ghosting effect on the text and it's really bad...i bought this smartphone today and i already found a big issue like this..
someone of you have this problem?
Yes I do have the same problem, I think it's because the phone has a LCD display?
For the past few months there's been this bug that affects the S10 series, maybe other phones too, a black bar at the bottom instead of the app being fullscreen (yes I have it set up as fullscreen in settings). A few days I got it fixed but today it appeared again. I am using synergy with swift black and that's about it. Any suggestions?
P.S. I have tried reinstalling
