Issue with wallpaper, can someone help?

Teniko — Thu, 26 Feb 2015 03:48:44 GMT

Hello all. I found a wallpaper that someone posted on reedit that I wanted to use. It is a 1920x1080 resolution wallpaper. When I try to set the wallpaper, sometimes it won't let me crop it correctly, and only allows me to select a small portion of the photo. Other times I'm able to properly crop it, but then after I lock the screen and wake it back up, the picture is blown up and only displays part of the picture. Has anyone encountered this before? And if so, is there a fix?

What if you use pixlr instead?

@uliwooly I was about to suggest a third-party app. What do you think?

On a side note, I'm not amused by your last private message but as a great person said before

"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

It was not my intention to amuse you. But to get my point across. However, that does sound like a great person. That is a very deep and open minded point of view and do appreciate you thinking this way.

@uliwooly @phy I'm confused. I downloaded Pixlr but I don't see how a photo editor is supposed to help? I don't see any way to use it to set a wallpaper, and also I'm unsure how the app would prevent the phone from auto resizing/whatever it is doing to my wallpaper after I set it and put the phone to sleep

Wallpapers are not 1920x1080
They will crop to allow for portrait and landscape scrolling.
This is an android setting for most phones.
To get optimum 1:1 pixel ratio, the wallpaper should be set using a 3rd party app from the market.

I'm using an app someone recommended to me and it set the wallpaper fine. So far my phone hasn't decided to resize the wallpaper randomly, so I think it is working fine now. Thanks
