[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangelight99:
anyone notice than when setting wallpaper images scaled perfectly to the screen's native resolution, they get a bit fuzzier compared to the view in the gallery????

Here's an example, download this image.....

oops, can't submit links yet. Look for the starry night image at 1080X1920 resolution on google image search. It's a good example.

This is image looks pops really nicely when viewed in the gallery, amazing details and contrast. When set as a wallpaper though, a lot of the sharpness is gone. This happens independently of the screen settings. The same effect happens either with touchwiz or nova launcher, same happens when set with quick pic or stock gallery app. Same effect obviously with different 1080p images besides the one given in the link.

Anyone have any ideas about what's happening here? Kind of a shame cause the display is pretty awesome......We need a fix..

I am running a verizon s4, stock unrooted. I haven't not seen this issue reported as far as I know....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I have a full HD wallpaper and I viewed it full screen in the gallery and then hit home button to revert to homescreen and I can't notice a change at all. Every pixel is identical to that of the gallery image.

When I hit the home button the only changes are my icons appearing on the background (obviously). but colour, contrast, sharpness etc all stay the same.

I haven't tried with you stary night picture you mentioned though.

Maybe that image just isn't full HD or the pixels are slightly wrong.

Have you opened that same file in Photoshop and double checked?

Or are you just taking Googles word for it beings the right res?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangelight99:
yea, the photo is 1080X1920. I double checked. So are the others I tried.

the effect is definitely not drastic but it is there and I tried a few images. I think the problem is in the loss of fine details most obviously seen in

highres textures or intricate wispy patterns. I've spent many a hour working with high res type images and when these types of jpegs are set as a wallpaper, it's like the images have been run through a couple degrees of a blur filter.

I would think quite a few users would notice though they may not be able to articulate exactly what's going on....it is less stunning imo.....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzk123:
Me too. The wallpaper seems less clear. Used a 1920x1200 wallpaper.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kit:
You have to use an image that is 1920 high and 1080 wide, most 1080p images are 1920 wide and 1080 high instead. So whats happening is when you set the wallpaper, the wallpaper setter has to scale and stretch the image to fit the hight of the screen.

These phones are in portrait mode most of the time remember, where as most images on the web are in landscape wide screen.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windozeanti:
I download all my wallpapers using Zedge app. Use Quickpic app to set as wallpaper. No fuzzy issue, the wallpaper looks sharp and crisp.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangelight99:
odisav snyder

yes, the images I am using are in portrait mode, they are not resizing. try using the a highly detailed image and toggle between the gallery view and the homescreen. maybe i am seeing things but i am pretty friggin sure I can't be the only one noticing this.

Try to turn off the automatic display calibation. This option change level of saturation and other display setting depending the app you are running.

I have always wondered if android lowered the quality of an image when setting it as wallpaper for some pragmatic reason? But have never been able to figure it out.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulrgod:
This has been an issue on every Android device ive ever had - its obviously something at OS level. I use an app called 'Simple Image Wallpaper' it allows you to set an image at 100% quality as it works as a Live Wallpaper. Enjoy!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRyudo:
Just want to confirm this issue. Having the same problem.

Looks super sharp and clear in Gallery, becomes blurry when set as Wallpaper.

Resolution is definitely 1080x1920 (W x H)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.Suave:
Issue here as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruuvin:
Our LCD resolution is 1920x1080. Wallpaper must be 1920x1920 in order to get a 1 to 1 mapping of wallpaper pixels to screen pixels. This is because our displays switch from landscape to portrait when we turn the phone and so wallpapers are displayed as a 1080x1920 cropping or a 1920x1080 cropping of a 1920x1920 resolution image. If you supply a 1080x1920 image as a wallpaper and the phone needs to display it across 1920x1080 LCD pixels, then it will crop out a 1080x1080 square, use that as a wallpaper, stretching 1080 image pixels across 1920 lcd pixels. This may sound strange, but it really does make sense as a solution to solve the problem of how to display wallpaper when the screen can be rotated. Ever notice that the stock ROM wallpapers are square, 1920x1920?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.Suave:
This makes perfect sense. Do u have any good sources for 1920x1920 size wallpaper? Much Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruuvin:
interfacelift.com/wallpaper/

Is one of my favorites for very hi-res photos. You could just google wallpaper.

You will need to use a photo cropping tool (like paint or photoshop or gimp) to crop or resample to desired size.

[HTC Incredible S] arathis1:
Hi

I am very new here so I apologise if this sounds like a really dumb question.

I have an incredible S from the Bell network which I brought solely because it is compatible with 3g 850mhz network unlike the normal Incredible however it has not received any updates since 2.3 and I would like to upgrade it.

My first question is if I root and remove the Canadian software will I lose compatibility with the 850 mhz 3G network or is this a hardware change?

Secondly I cannot seem to figure out what Hboot I am running. Where do I find this out?
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Hello, welcome to xda

1. Network freqs is hardware, so if your device support 850MHz as long as it is an incredible S it will be able to rom any rom for our device

2. Turn off phone, take battery out, put battery in, then hold down power and vol down until it takes you to white screen. It should say there

[HTC Incredible S] arathis1:

Thanks. That worked perfectly.
[HTC Incredible S] jonnypommy:
Hey Arathis,

I bought my Inc S from Canada too, Here in Australia, I upgraded to gingerbread through the network, but after a while of 'umm-ing and arrr-ing' I just rooted my phone, and never looked back since. It's not as scary as you may think :)
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Bell isnt offering upgrades past 2.3. However, if you want to stay official, there is a Canadian RUU but Ud need to search Google for it (region should be (NAM) Canada or something similar).

To determine HBOOT, power down first, then reboot but hold down both power button + volume down to get into Bootloader. HBOOT is displayed there.
[HTC Incredible S] arathis1:
Thanks

Thanks very much for the advice. Just finished installing Nikhil007 Project Rebirth ROM. Worked perfectly :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuzuaintme:
What the title says.

I'm not sure if it is me that my Nexus 7 has slowed down, they're all slow, or if mine needs some spring cleaning.

I have 5GB free storage left from the 32GB model, and no matter what ROM I've installed there is lag. Within seconds of a fresh install the OS gets laggy, and apps stutter while loading.

I'm thinking of wiping the system clean and trying everything all over again, but would rather not do so in vain.

Help. Please. :p
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:

[Windows 8 General] alex94kumar:
I've been having an absolutely horrendous time installing Window 8 onto an SSD i bought. Let me give you a rundown of what's going on.

I bought a 120gb SSD off of my friend for a new laptop I was getting. My intentions were to replace the 1TB HDD in this laptop with the SSD and use the HDD as an external, so I can have massive speed increases in everyday computing activity. Originally, I thought the laptop had 2 hard drive bays, making it simple to install Windows onto it. However, due to my negligence to pay attention, it turns out that this laptop only has 1 hard drive bay. So next, I say, "oh simple, I'll just get an external HDD enclosure and install windows that way." Nope, cockblocked by Microsoft on this one; I figure out the hard way that one cannot install Windows onto a device via usb. I then researched some more and found "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool". I tried installing Windows onto a flash drive, but then accidentally formatted my camera's 16gb memory card losing hundreds of pictures. In vain, I should add, since it didn't even work in the end. Currently, I am stuck on how to install windows 8 onto my external SSD to later swap with the internal HDD. Hopefully this paragraph made sense lol. Any help here is greatly appreciated.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
You've got the enclosure you need for the 1TB drive, right? What's stopping you from swapping the drives now, and installing the OS on the SSD when it's mounted internally? Alternatively, create a new partition on the current drive that is the same size or smaller as the SSD, and then install Win8 there. You can then copy that partition (the whole thing, using something like dd on linux) to the SSD, although getting the bootloader to come along for the ride would be tricky.

Also, with all due respect, if you managed to lose hundreds of pictures that weren't yet copied off the camera card while attempting (and failing) to install Win8 on a flashdrive, this might be a "don't try this at home" moment. I'm sorry for your loss, and I realize it was probably a very simple accident - confusion of which drive you were targeting, perhaps - but messing around with disk partitioning and advanced installation techniques without somebody who knows what they're doing guiding you is a dangerous idea.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Windows 2 Go locks down a number of system features, which limit its usefulness as a day-to-day OS. There's some configuration in the registry that controls this, so you might be able to use the W2G installation and then "fix" it, but you may want to do some research into W2G before attempting this.
[Windows 8 General] alex94kumar:
I guess one could call me a noob when it comes to Windows lol... my expertise is Android

So I can swap the ssd and hdd while the computer is running? Wouldn't that cause all sorts of errors? Because when I tried swapping them, I couldn't get windows to boot from the hdd (which was in the external enclosure)
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Take the HDD out. Put SSD in. Put windows

install

disk in (not upgrade disk, most disks sold are upgrade only, you need install). Boot from instrall disk, follow instructions.

The hard disk replacement can only be dome when powered off. SATA devices do not support hit swapping and may even be damaged by it.

We ignore the HDD completely. Once win8 is on the SSD then you can put the HDD in the USB enclosure, plug it into your laptop now running win 8 and retrieve your files.

Copying wijndiws between different hard disks rarely works in my experience.

Oh, for the SD thing. Partitioning SD cards is not recommended, not all laptops can boot from SD either so it may have been completely futile.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
If you don't have an install disk (only upgrade), you can copy the contents of your current Windows OS volume onto the SSD and then do the swap, which should cause the installer to think you already have Windows installed (if perhaps in a corrupted form). If you can do a full partition clone, then it needn't even be a corrupted copy; you could simply clone Windows onto the SSD (it may demand to be reactivated if you do this; ignore that) and then use an upgrade install.

Contrary to the name, upgrade installs do not need to be in-place upgrades; you can in fact wipe the entire SSD (and I recommend you do so) using the advanced install options once the installer has verified that these is (or was) a Windows install there.
[Windows 8 General] fduval:
I've done it on my HP DV6, the process was with a samsung ssd to clone the hard drive on the ssd with the program furnished by samsung. I expect there are other programs doing the same. I used a second external HD to take the files that didn't enter the SSD (256 GB).

Then I swap the disks (SSD internal) and I replace the DVD reader by the old HD repartition and format it (Now I use an external DVD Writer.

Then I upraded with win 8.

Take a bit of time but works

I hope it helps

Hello Everyone.

I updated my HTC One to the latest version and now I want to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM. My question is can I still unlock the bootloader on the latest version or did they break the unlocking process?

[General Topics] Q:
If you just sync to the same PC with outlook, this will be done automatically...
[General Topics] siliconaddict:
Contacts -> SIM

On the old XDA I, copy the Contacts to the SIM, put SIM in new XDA II, copy back from SIM to Contacts.
[General Topics] Dingo:
I typed this then noticed it was the XDA 1 and not 2 you had. I must have read to fast :lol: Just incase it is of any use i will post it anyway

If for any reason you do not PC Sync then just beam them from one to the other. Just hold your stylus down on the first contact and drag it to the last contact then then take your stylus of screen. All the contacts should now be selected. Touch and hold any of the contacts with your stylus and from the pop up menu choose beam contact. Then point your infra red ports at each other and wait for the XDAIIs device to appear with Tap To Send next to it. Tap it. You will have to accept every contact one at a time on the XDAIIs but its just a single tap for each one

[HTC Droid DNA] jenniferstough:
I'm not an expert by any means. But when you downloaded adb, did you download the sdk for android? If so, go to sdk manager and make sure you have all the options under tools installed. Secondly, did you rename it to revone.2.0? I used revone.DNA, and while it took me 24+ hours, and 100s of tries, I finally got it to go through. Just to confirm, so far you have pushed adb revone to the device via the adb push revone.2.0 /data/local/tmp, then adb shell, cd /data/local/tmp, chmod 755 revone.2.0? I have found that some people have gotten success from removing -P from the command.

---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

It may work easier if you move adb to a folder in C: and title the folder something like adb_android, and move the revone file in there as well. From there, you can go to the search bar, enter cmd.exe and it will bring you in directly at C:\ adb_android.
[HTC Droid DNA] shobon:
Why don't you post this as a reply to the revone thread? We don't need a new thread every single time someone runs into an issue s-offing their phone...
[HTC Droid DNA] SpacemanJake:
So Im not entirely sure how to open the sdk manager. I unzipped the adb folder (it was the ADT package), renamed it DNA and placed it under my C:\ drive. Also, I had downloaded the updated revone (revone-0.2) and just removed the dash and have tried removing and adding the -P with identical results.. I have also done many factory resets and still the same problem. From what it seems like, my problem would be with the sdk manager?
[HTC Droid DNA] SpacemanJake:
Im a new member and I'm not allowed to post in that section. Ive gone through darn near every page of that thread and it seems my problem was unique. Sorry for flooding the forum, I was just looking for some help.

[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
they released an updated zip... maybe try that. mine worked first time this morning no problems
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
i also cannot post a reply in the regular revone section.

when i download revone-0.2.1 it is not a .zip file...its just a file that cmd wont recognize when i try to push it to the device, it says its not a recognizable file. when i download revone, do i need to move the file to the same directory as adb and fastboot or what?
[HTC Droid DNA] munchy_cool:
yes it needs to be in same folder as adb and fastboot
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
do i need to change it to a .exe or anything?
[HTC Droid DNA] munchy_cool:
nopes...
[HTC Droid DNA] Prodiigy:
one last question (which probably should've been my first)...does the DNA already have to be unlocked and/or rooted to use revone? i thought i read that it needed to have an unlocked bootloader to use this.
[HTC Droid DNA] SpacemanJake:
Got it! Although revone did not work for me at all! I tried to install ubuntu but failed due to windows 8 issue. Downloaded MintLinux 64 bit, used LinuxLive USB Creator to put my .iso on thumb drive, and boot with usb hard disk. In Mint download the 32-bit libraries, download moonshine and run. Done! No adb needed in mintlinux, reboot pc without usb drive if you didnt want to install mint. worked flawlessly.

Hello,

I'm having issues with Google+ automatic upload. I've never noticed it to such an extent before, but I think I've had this problem going on for some time now. I took about 80 pictures yesterday and I have noticed that they are not uploading them all at once. Instead, it does about 3-4 pictures per hour, letting me know hourly that they've uploaded 3 pictures, and they're available for sharing. This has been going on for a day and a half now, and there seems to be nothing I can do to speed this up! I've searched on Google and I have found no similar restriction listed anywhere.

Ive bee having these problems with my tablet (lag, slow, etc) and i have done EVERYTHING Cold Boot, Factory Reset and the Firmware updates don't fix anything!

I have contacted ASUS and they said that it was a HARDWARE problem and they gave me a RMA to send it in. Should I send it in? Would they do anything?

Im also new to the forum so thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yes! If Asus acknowledges a hardware problem and your tab is still under warranty - what have you got to loose??

Your only alternative would be to unlock the bootloader, root and flash a custom rom, loosing your warranty in the process. Plus - if you actually have a hardware problem, no custom rom could fix it.

So send it in and hope for the best!

Definitely send it in. While at the facility, they can run tests on the device and they can refer back to the troubleshooting that was already done with the phone support. If it deemed a bad MB, than it will be replaced. They will figure out the best solution.
