Anyone have the same problem with black wallpaper? This is my second note 5 already, the first one wasn't as bad as this.

is this effect happening if you look at a black picture in the gallery also? check that out. because some themes put a gradient effect on the wallpapers for some reason. maybe it's just that.
Test your screen by installing Material Black theme. See if its black everywhere but the lockscreen when fingerprint lock is on. Then you will know if it's your screen or just a software issue.
I'm not only one who have this issue (some t mobile users also have the same issue like me, maybe it only happens to t mobile devices), so I think it's the software issue. Everything looks like your, but the home screen and app drawer with rectangle box.
having the same issue but on top part of the screen
here is the thread i created
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/screen-colour-issue-t3330151
Its only happening on the lock screen. Its because of the shortcuts of camera and phone.

i tried the theme the issue disappears with theme wallpaper but soon after another black wallpaper is set issue comes back
I looked at the OP's screenshot and thought to myself that I only saw the Samsung Pay card. If that thin rectangle is your issue, I might be missing your point, but that to me looks like you have Samsung pay active. If so, turn it off. Does that fix your issue? If it does, then that bar is there for you to swipe the app open. As far as when it is there when on a black screen, my answer is that it looks like that for contrast as it is transparent when I had it active.
BUT if I AM missing the point, I'll gladly delete this post.
any solution found ?
any solution for this?

Hey guys,
I've got a brand new HTC Touch Diamond. On certain screens in particular the Contacts, Messaging, SMS or the screen to select the Avatar for farvourite People, there seems to be a colour gradient on the screen in that the right portion of my screen is towards the grey shade wherelse the left portion is whiter in colour. Is this part of the theme or a standard feature or is this a defect on my unit?
The thing is I don't get this issue on the 'Align Screen' screen which has a similar white background, nor do I get this gradient on Program and Settings menus.
Could someone please help me confirm?
Thanks.
Cheers.
*bump*
Pls help???
I called HTC regarding this issue and they told me it's just part of the graphics theme but I'm not entirely convinced though...
Thanks.

You could try taking a screenshot and copy that to your computer. If the gradient appears there then its a part of the graphics in the theme.. But if it does not appear on the screenshot on the pc. then you can consider it as a failure.
I checked contacts (touchflo) -> all people (left softkey), and yeah there's a slight gradient from white to a very very light grey. (Going from left to right)
Thanks so much for the great help guys..... I'll take a screenshot later just to confirm the issue....
A simple test is, go to settings > today,...and change theme to Windows Mobile Default / Green. See if the light grey change to fade blue / green?
I can confirm 99.9% is the theme....
it is normal....

Thanks. Yes I've tried that before starting this thread. The gradient does follow the theme colour but I thought it was a backlight issue.. i.e. that portion of the screen not lit properly hence it appears darker regardless of the theme's colour.

then you fire up word mobile, and create a new document.
You should have a full white background......

Yes tried that.. I don't get the gradient on white pages such as the 'Align Screen' page, documents, IE, even the b/g of Programs and Settings looks perfect.
So it's safe to assume I don't have to send my unit back for warranty yeah? I just wanted to be sure before sticking my invisibleSHIELD on
btw, what screen/body protector are you using? I might have a spare invisibleSHIELD if you're interested.

That should be the theme issue....
you can try UITweaker,
go to TdyScheme Changer > change all the 4 list(left 1 & 2 + right 1 & 2) color to white...
cheers,...
I tried taking the a few screenshots and yes the gradient is there when viewed from the PC as well although less apparent. But yeah it's definitely the theme then.
When I was on the phone with HTC the girl also advised me to have my phone sent in to be checked... until I asked her "shouldn't you confirm this isn't normal before we proceed further"? lol
So i have been trying to get a black background that is truly black.
everything i have tried has left a slight hue on the background. back 2 black is not supported or i would have tried that.
is there any way to get background to remain off completely and only light the pixels for the icons, clock, notification etc etc. i notice the info bar at the top is darker than my black background and no matter what i cant get the background to go completely black.
my reasoning is if i make the icons into line art, and keep as much of the screen off wherever i can i can stretch battery life even further. it worked wonders on my gs2. But having a slightly glowing background ruins all that.
I'm not sure whether it's supported, but you can try making a monochrome bitmap-file (.bmp) in MsPaint. At least you are sure this way that the black is truly black.
Have you tried using different launchers? Are you sure the hue is not just your icons giving some 'bleeding'?
thanks, i will give that a try.
its the same with go launcher and touchwiz. its actually magnified on the lockscreen showing lots of banding.
Try this pic. I use it on mine and looks black

My first Note did this so I sent it back. My new one does not do it.
still no luck, apps with black backgrounds look fine.
i tried an all black bitmap and that didnt work either.
is there any way to turn background off and just leave it blank? would that give me a pure black background?
like i said i dont think its a hardware problem since the app backgrounds look deep black unlike the wallpaper. i did see something about the note only being 16 bit and that was causing weird display issues due to scaling or something, blah blah.
its using 24bits
thats right, the note is 24 bit and the os operates in 16 bit currently, right? either way i need to find a way to fix it.
I used a plain black GIF. Works fine for the home screen background, but on lock screen it has barely noticeable dark gray lines in it until you touch it and the unlock symbol appears.
here is the one i made
this black is one color 24 bit png on my note it is completely black at any brightness. let me know if it works. 800 x 1280 black correct dpi blackground

or download "no wallpaper" from the market - simple app that just adds a wallpaper that is totally black. Works a treat.
Try an app called COLOURS by Tim Clark
Forgive me if this has been covered, but I did a search in the Note forums and came up empty. I know how to change wallpapers, themes, etc. and I am using widget locker. How do I change that screen that comes up when the Note first boots up? --the one with the feather pen on it... I am using code unlock too and after I "wigdet unlock", I get the feather wallpaper on the next screen to do my code unlock. This is totally incompatible with the brushed metal theme I have going everywhere else.
I am not rooted yet, because I just got the whole thing straightened out with at&t this morning. Thanks in advance for any help.
I was having difficulty with this too. I remember in my GSII there was a setting where you could actually change the lock screen wallpaper. There is no such setting on the note from what I could see.
However this is how I was able to change the lock screen wallpaper.
1. Download the wallpaper you want
2. Go to the gallery and select the image
3. There should be a menu item called 'set as' which has an option to set it as wallpaper or lock screen wallpaper.
That's how I got rid of the stock feather and ink lock screen wallpaper.
Woo! That worked. I feel dumb for not trying that. I was making it overly complex, lol.
Thanks!

You can also go to Settings - Display - Screen display, and it will give options for changing lockscreen wallpaper, clock and weather.
Hey everyone,
I've been looking for an answer to this question, but I can't find one anywhere, blah, blah, blah.
I am running Nova Launcher Prime 4.2.2 over the stock launcher on my N920A with Android 5.1.1. I have a wallpaper with a solid black background. It looks something like the first image below. You might not be able to see it on a monitor, but the problem is that across the bottom, something (I am assuming it's my stock launcher or theme service) is lightening my background. It is happening in front of where the dock would normally be. In order to highlight what the problem is, I took some screenshots and then used paint to color in my background. Since I am a first-time poster, I can't post links, but I can tell you that my screenshots are on i dot imgur dot com with the following file names (sorry for technically posting links...):
My home screen with Default theme: tEvYClN.jpg
My home screen with Default theme and the background colored white: i9wfuK7.jpg
Now here is what happens when I change the system theme to sd-Black
My home screen with sd-Black theme: T7tDb5N.jpg
My home screed with sd-Black theme and the background colored white: vpfYaE7.jpg
Here is one more view of what I see on my screen. iNH7n7t.jpg
So changing the theme adjusts the height of the color distortion at the bottom. and top I want to know how I can get rid of those bars altogether. I am sure that this bar on the bottom changes when I adjust the system theme and I have tried it with other wallpapers with the same result. I have done as much troubleshooting and narrowing down of the problem as I can. Any thoughts? Thank you all for your help!
Probably samsung pay

Not yet. I still have that bar across the bottom. Any thoughts?
Has anyone figured out a way to get the lock screen clock to be in a horizontal configuration without notifications?
**I am not talking about the AOD. I don't use AOD.
**I have searched and found no good answer.
** I have tried a theme. Even though the theme shows the clock in the horizontal position, it never worked on my Note 8.
Looking for the same. No need for such a beautiful screen when the big clock is right in the middle. Wish I could remove the clock/move it somewhere else/rescale it..

you can completely remove it with an overlay.
