Hey gus.I have a new galaxy S10, so I set everything up there nicely and I run into an incomprehensible wallpaper setup issue. I found a beautiful picture using black, but when I set it as wallpaper the phone used a nasty brown filter. So the whole impression of black is gone. This filter only sets this one particular photo (even if I download it from another source) and only in night mode. When I use another photo, this filter does not turn on whether night mode is on or off. For a better idea I have included screenshots via google photos. There are screenshots of original image, wallpaper with using night mode, wallpaper without night mode and also screenshots of other wallpaper with and without using night mode.
Please, does anybody know, what's going on?
Thank you guys.

It's a bug I've found out after changing a resolution to 2k from full hd. Later I've restarted the phone, changed resolution a couple of times then it disapeared.
It's related to apply dark to wallpaper but as you have noticed it isn't dark filter it is brown ! And when it works I like a darken wallpaper cause it makes a distinction between icons and background.
When the bug comes you have to bug it out

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
Hi to all.
I cant find a solution to my problem and maybe someone can help me.
I have found some wallpapers for our Note in the right resolution (800x1280) to use these in my lockscreen.
The problem is that when i choose a wallpaper with lot of black color and choose it as lockscreen wallpaper i can see some horizontal lines on it.
If i choose the same image as phone wallpaper everything is ok.
Where is the problem?
Thank you all.
I have the exact same issue. Horizontal lines on lock screen, but looks fine everywhere else. I don't have the solution, but maybe I can help you out a bit.
I did some searching, it turns out that there's some sort of software bug that doesn't allow black images to be truly black but rather very dark grey. The thread is somewhere in this forum.
Also the native lock screen resolution is actually smaller than the screen resolution because of the notification bar. Per this forum: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/37268-lockscreen-resolution-compression-issues-false-info.html
Also when you set an image to be the lock screen, it seems the picture is re-scalled and saved again (in another directory), which means compressed again.
Android phones usually don't display images in 24 or 32 bit color but rather 16 bit color, which means color banding. More on that information somewhere in this thread also.
My suggestion is:
1. Find out the native lock screen resolution. I'm also searching for the figure.
2. Edit your photo, change it to that resolution, and make sure the black areas of that image are truly digitally black (000000), and save it as an uncompressed image.
Maybe the horizontal lines are because the image is being re-scalled, re compressed, and the image being displayed at 16 bit color with a "true black but" is resulting in horizontal lines.
The solution is this. I'm using it and black is perfect.

Not bad idea at all...I have used widgetlocker in my previous phones but somehow i had some little problems like small lugs or battery draining.
I dont know if in the latest version is fixed.
But ill try cause i love black lockscreen in our huge super screen...
edit:Not working properly for me cause i have lower destiny...
Ah, what a shame! But WL does work, so if you ever go back to the stock density i highly recommend you using it.
Magick locker is free so you can test that, get a theme and customize wallpaper, set any black image and its fine. so its samsung lockscreen software bug
One simple solution, use wallpaper wizardrii!!

Unfortunately I lost my galaxy note a week ago so had to buy a new one, have rooted it and put on a new rom but I now have banding issue on the home screen. On the old note I downloaded an app called voodoo screen tuning r&d and it completely fixed the banding issue on the lock screen, unfortunately on my new note, has this ever been addressed? I'd like to put a nice black lockscreen on my phone without it looking like complete ass
It has been fixed. It's banding due to low quality image.. 99% of the banding issues come from that. It's like watching analog tv on a hd screen, you finally see the crap quality.
Download multipicture wallpaper, set lockcreen on random image of choice, make it transparent and put background black. BOOM! FIXED

Hello, I noticed that on black videos or pics my black not mixing with grey color very well. I add screenshots to explain about my situation.
I just noticed that pics on PC looks fine. I try to take pics with camera.
It could be Screen BUG? Or ROM? But I had this on SlimBean and JellyBam.
it is there on most of the Note Screens. Could be because how the color is rendered.. there has been talks of resolving this issue but nothing as of now
I read that some apps can help, I tried Filter Your Screen. added new filter with custom colors and it dissapiers. Now pictures and videos looks good, but Black color is not so much BLACK like before. and I need to turn it on that app :/ Its annoying.
I can't seem to use a static wallpaper that fills the screen in portrait mode. If I try to add my own from a hi res picture it hangs for a few seconds then returns to the standard green leaf background regardless of which paper I had selected. The standard ones aren't big enough to fill the screen. Live wallpapers are fine though and fill the screen. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a work round?

Same here. I got CM10 installed and managed to get a nice full-screen background made from my gallery that was downloaded from Interface Lift. It is VERY annoying, as the standard backgrounds are smaller than the 1920x1080p screen, so I'm left with a black screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
