I'm pretty sure this is related to the black crush issue. It's just that the guy in the video uses ink as a description. I can appreciate his description, as it does look a little bit like that. But yeah, this is the same problem as the black crush problem.

Can anyone recommend a good site for b&w photography wallpaper?

As per title.
Even my monochrome tastes are a little bored with a plain black lockscreen, now I'd like some grey in the mix.
Looking for photos - cityscapes, nature, nothing too abstract.
Trawled through zedge, interfacelift and a few others, not found anything great and/or 480x800.
Any tips much appreciated.
D'oh... this probably should have gone in the themes & apps section, right?
Thanks to any mod who wishes to move it.
I got a few picture but I just do a search in google and download them
Great tip, thanks....
Of course I've bloody done that, and am still doing so. It's haphazard and very time-consuming, and I'm looking for a dedicated site.
Well when it comes to backgrounds and wallpapers. I use interfacelift.com
Not sure if they have a category with just B/W images but have a look.

Wow thanks for such a great site for wallpapers that look great on the samoled+ , love that they actually let you download 960x800 for full scrollable wallpapers.
Cheers
deviantart.com has many nice photos and black and white pics too...u just need to keep searching which is a time killler but they have very nice quality of pics
Just convert a nice photo to B&W ... you can even do that with the SGS2's photo editor

Has the most random pictures for wallpaper. Its some very unique stuff on this website. Anything you could possibly ask for is on this website. Check it out.
Personally for all my wallpaper needs I go to [URLhttp://www.wallbase.cc[/URL].
Not sure if they carry specific BW stuff, but they definitly have variety.
Thanks to everyone for the tips, I'll get searching (clean forgot deviantart, and have been a member there for years ).
No easy way to do it, I'll just keep clickin'.

Screen smearing / tint issues ??

What about it folks - anybody having these issues reported repeatedly in the other S4 forums?
Guess not..............
That's good news - was a little concerned considering the posts across the different carrier forums.

Oh, that sucks. I hope they fix this issue...
I thought YouTube videos looked a little dull. This explains it.

That is kind of a big deal, I hope Google fixes it asap.
Please go here and star the issue so Google can look into it: https://productforums.google.com/fo...J0aLRo/YIFmN5jXAQAJ;context-place=forum/nexus
Made a post about this yesterday and bumped it today with no replies. Well, hopefully people are realizing this. By the way, for me it seemed like any video that was on device storage was able to play with normal colors. Once I uploaded it to google photos and streamed it, the colors became soft/washed out/dull.

Thats not a film thats literally just some 4k footage of a forest that was then downgraded by making it black and white and then put to some music. Anyone can do that
There are dedicated photo and video threads out there already. Perhaps share this in one of those? :good:

reality check time video lockscreen assumed new feature

I have no clue where media and other forums ASSume that this feature is the same as the s9s video lock screen feature. This more is like doing a pixel, i gotta have it features, and making us feel stupid. They assumed it suppose to come with the new june security patch. This feature has always been on the note 8. Someone give light to this. https://www.gsmarena.com/video_lock_screen_from_samsung_galaxy_s9_now_available_on_galaxy_s8_and_note8-news-31983.php

anyone input. the only thing worse than a bad assumption, is a bad decision. What i am asking is logical and sound. There are other threads if this one doesn't fit one's fancy.
Seriously, why even respond? If you don't like what we say you ll just be condescending as your other posts. Also, expecting a response in two hours is ridiculous!
Knock it off already - nobody cares!

Yup, lots of complaining in general around here lately. Never saw much of a point to that.

Why not email gsmarena or the author of the article if you believe it is incorrect? What can XDA users offer if we didn't write it? Come on.

nope just clarifying video lockscreen has been around, and sooner or later, there will be an agreement.
I can at least confirm that the video backgrounds in the Galaxy Apps store only appeared after the June update. Never saw them before that on my Note 8.
Looking further, it appears there are three different types of "moving pictures" wallpaper:
- Animated (Still image with some moving objects)
- Motion (Appearance changes when you tilt the phone left & right)
- Video (Plays up to 15 seconds of video on the lock screen).
We've had the Animated and Motion wallpapers since launch (or at least well before now), but the 15 second video wallpapers IS new, and that's the feature that was first seen on the S9.
So, before you "ASSume" the writers of the article didn't know what they were talking about with this feature being new to the Note 8, maybe you might want to try being more polite in your choice of words when you're confused about something; lest it leave you with egg on your face.

I ask that everyone please remain respectful. Where needed I have PM'd and discussed posts. Please stay on topic and only post if you have something to contribute.
Lastly, please don't engage eachother... it just makes things worse for everyone. Please use the report button instead.
Thanks

Note 8 has never had video lockscreen. All motion lockscreen before were multiple pictures in rotation.
How can i activate this feature ?

Once you have the June update you're good to go. Either search for video wallpapers in the Samsung Theme store, or find a video in your gallery, tap the 3-dot menu, then select "Set As Wallpaper" I believe.
