[Q] Changing Image of Captivate Lockscreen

There is a setting for changing lock screen image under Settings > Display > Wallpapers > Lock screen wallpaper > Gallery... after saving the image, it doesn't seem to work (lock screen wallpaper is still my home screen wall paper)
I've read a lot of posts that points to the direction of using market apps such as lock bot and what not, but can't I use this way to set my lock screen wallpaper?
Running Perception 10.3, can't post it in that thread because I have below 10 post.
p/s: I've searched before I post, saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735849 but it's kind of old and I don't think I want to revive it.

seems to only work if you are using glass unlock..

Thanks so much for the information, then I guess I'll check out other apps or just settle without changing it.

Galaxy Camera EK-GC200 losing wallpaper

Since having the camera, the wallpaper I choose never stays for long and the camera reverts back to a gradient blue on home screen and lock screen. Every morning when I check it, see it has gone back to the default blue.
The issue occurs whether I use the other available internally stored OEM wallpapers or alternate.
Any ideas?

Same thing happens to me, but my Google account also disappears. Sometimes it happens at the same time, and sometimes it's just the wallpaper. The interestng part is that when I used a completely custom wallpaper it never happened -- only when I used one of the stock wallpaper choices.

Magazine unlock not working

Hi. My Magazine Unlock is not working properly. I set it in Themes and it shows as marked in Settings-Screen lock & passwords-Screen lock style so should be working fine. Despite that it doesn't show any photos on lock screen and there are no controls when I swipe from the bottom of lock screen (I mean play, next and so on).
I tried to put some photos manually into MagazineUnlock folder on internal memory but they don't appear on lock screen. Anyone knows how to make it work again and update the photos?
I've recently updated to EVA-L09C432B170 via dload method. May that be the cause?

Same issue here.
After flashing via dload method (and even back to the old firmware) I lost magazine unlock.
Have also tried downloading the stock themes and selecting them, but even though it says selected under Settings, lock screen remains the same static wallpaper image with no controls after swiping.
EDIT: turns out only the 'Black Label' theme enabled MagazineUnlock for me. I previously had Default(MagazineUnlock) but it didn't work, despite the name. Also needs to be under System/Theme, not just under SDCard/HWTheme

Someone knows an answer to this? I have the same problem currently and have no idea how to restore the functionality of the magazine unlock. Themes are shown in the theme manager and some even with the addition of "(Magazin unlock)", but it is not working even if selected.

mine wasnt working until i pressed this button ( the highlighted one in the pic) after that it started working again

hi. i had the same problem, had to change the theme to obsidian, then magazine unlock started working again.

What worked for me guys, is this...
When you activate your screen and keep seeing the same wallpaper (not magazine), simply DELETE the annoying wallpaper that won't change. Also make sure there is no "Lock" on the padlock on bottom left corner.
Hope this makes sense and helps someone from going crazy trying to figure it out

Magazine pictures

Hey guys,
do you know if there is a possibility to add my own pictures to the magazine? If not, is there any app in which is that possible?

On my phone I use tasker to change my wallpaper every hour (if the screen is off). In settings>display>wallpaper you can select to have your lock screen wallpaper the same as your home wallpaper. Now, when tasker changes my home screen wallpaper, they both change. I don't know how else to get magazine wallpapers to randomly select from my own pictures.
Edit. I'm stupid, there are wallpaper changing apps so you don't need to use tasker, then use the setting option I mentioned. Ofc, these methods will change all your wallpapers, not just the magazine wallpaper :/

Just checked on my phone and there is a MagazineUnlock folder, have you tried just deleting and putting your own pictures in that folder?

Thank you, at least something

I copied some of my own pictures into the MagazineUnlock folder and they display perfectly on the lock screen.
Go into Wallpaper settings and at the bottom there is "album to display" you can check that MagazineUnlock is ticked or even choose another folder if you have another location you want to use.

Thank you, "Random change" was unchecked in my device so i was unable to see "Interval" and "Album to display" options. Now it works, thanks again ?

Gripes with new p20 pro

Hi, I recently got my p20 Pro and have some gripes if someone can help.
1. I like to use blue light filter. I want to use it all the time. Problem I have is, phone seems to turn it on and off depending on ambient light. I don't want this. There is some setting in display about automatically adjusting display based on ambient light and I have switched it off but no luck.
2. I installed nova launcher (prime version) and am struggling to use it. I want to add apps to homescreen and also to the bottom of screen. I cant do that. When I long press on home screen, I get option for setting, wallpaper and widgets but I can't seem to add apps.
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
Any help please.
Edited to add 4th question..

I don't think there is a way to do this, other than use a third party app that does the same thing.

For Nova, you go into your main drawer and just hold down the app and then you can drag it to your homescreen
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
No notifications on the ambient display, unless EMUI 9.0 as fixed this. However 8.0 and 8.1 do not have this function.
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
The only quick action button you have for the camera is to go into its settings and choose the "ultra snapshot" option right at the bottom of the settings menu. This will give you the option of double pressing the volume down to take a quick snapshot and gets the camera activated.
Any help please.
