Hi there!
One of my "problems" I have with the S2 is that i can't seem to be able to properly fit a picture on my screen.
Whenever i set a picture as wallpaper it will be zoomed in.
Is there a way i can fit a picture in its original size (so the whole picture can be seen) on the screen?
Many thanks,
Peter
If you are trying to set a scrollable wallpaper on a single portrait screen then it's not possible, but otherwise you have to click on the portrait icon, then drag the orange lines to the furthest corner of the picture, then set it.
There it goes "wrong", whenever i do that in portrait mode, and I select the part i want and set it as wallpaper... the result will be that it is zoomed in.
For example as i drag the orange lines around my girlfriend and I set it... it will only show me the chest, stomach and a part of the legs instead of the whole body.

You need 480 x 800 resolution photos/wallpapers to fit in portrait mode, any other resolution will slightly distort or won't fit on the screen.
I always crop my pictures in photoshop to 960x800 for wallpaper and 480x800 for lockscreen wallpaper. All WVGA androids use these resolutions.
I just checked, i dont loose any of my picture in that resolution.
Hope this helps.
The screens resolution is 480x800, not 960x800, the latter is for scrollable wallpapers, which I never use. So if someone wants to use a full picture set to one screen then he/she should use a wallpaper of phones resolution, i.e- 480x800

I have this same problem, i have resorted to just using the scrollable crop button and knowing that I'll lose the edges. There's certainly some sort of bug regarding this.
I have a photo taken with the SG2 camera that is 480x800. When I set wallpaper, I select portrait mode (non-scrollable, single photo).
However, the actual wallpaper is still zoomed in and I don't know why. Portrait-mode wallpapers seem to be broken, the phone wants to stretch photos into scroll-mode size even though it is not selected.
The lock screen wallpaper works fine.
Anyone know a fix?
Edit: The same problem is described here and also for other phones, no answer yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121133
Edit: I have a fix, but it's not a good one. Using a photo editor, add 240x800 pixels to either side of your image. This will produce a 960x800 image. Set this as your scrollable wallpaper (this will not work if you select portrait-mode). Then, use your launcher options to disable wallpaper scrolling.
If you are using stock launcher it should work. If your pic is 480 x 800, select portrait mode , drag the orange lines to fit the whole screen and your pic won't zoom in. The way Samsung uses this feature is crappy anyway. I gotta try 2-3 times before i can adjust the orange lines to fit the screen, without pic being zoomed-in.
anyone having their wallpapers appear just on one side of the screen and other half be black? whats going on? Is this a bug?
I've been having the same issue in landscape. No matter how I crop or what image I use about half the screen is blank and cropped as it was still set in portrait mode. Been hunting for fixes tonight and haven't found anything. I have, however, found a workaround. Multipicture Live seems to have done the trick for me setting the image the way I want it to appear both landscape and portrait with no fuss about cropping. I don't know how much of an added strain it puts on battery life technically being a "live" wallpaper, but at this point it's worth it for me.
OK, so I set my wallpaper using PicSpeed. It looks sharp and aligned.
Then when I rotate my Prime to portrait and back to landscape again, and the wallpaper has been zoomed in slightly, become less sharp and realigned itself.
Anyone else noticed this? Is there a way round it?
Hi,
Several apps I have tried (maybe ~10% of them) only have portrait mode. This is a problem if you have a TV you can't rotate.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to write, say, a background service that detects if it's displaying in portrait mode, and then shrinks the screen view and flips it 90degrees (so essentially you have a portrait screen that is now the correct way up, with black screen on either side). You can't tell it to display in true landscape because that's hard-coded into the app, so it is better to just rotate the portrait display. However this is a hard thing to do as the screen display is very low-level... but does anyone have any ideas of how to accomplish that?
I've done some searching, but of course Android has never really faced this problem before. Android has either been on a rotatable mobile device, or it's been on a GoogleTV where everything is landscape...
If so, that would open up more apps for Q-compatibility...
There is an image similar to download mode Icon on my s6 edge screen. The image is very light and is visible in white background. It doesn't appear on any photos which I take, but it stays on screen. Did anyone have similar problem and can help me to get rid off it.
Thank you

From what I can see it looks like a pixels burn down, that would be my best guess, but it is a bit early for that the phone is not that old...
Hello
I don't see anything on the picture, but anyways. If you see that everytime on your screen, I'm sorry to tell that to you, but you've got a burned screen. That means the phone kept too long a picture active, and pixels burnt with this so you can see that.
The only way to clear that is to replace the SUPERAMOLED screen.
