Hello
I bought a Galaxy Nexus but I have a Question about it.
I know there is a gradient effect but I have strange horizontal lines in it.
When i put my brightness on manual and 100 % I have this.
Is this normal and you guys have this to?
This picture is taken where you set your alarm clock.

Thnx
EDIT: I just checked that screen against mine and I show them as well. Its not your screen though its the background image for that screen.
To verify that you can take a screenshot with the camera ( hold vol down + power ) and look at it on a computer you will see the lines there as well so its not the hardware.
i have horizontal banding on screens with a gradient too, but i don't see it on any solid backgrounds. some dude posted a gray image file (with no gradient) that you can display to check your screen. not sure if i saw that on XDA, DroidForums.net or somewhere else, but i'll post back with a link if i find it.
EDIT: see post #4 here
I took some screenshots with power button + vol down.
Here a screenshot of the alarm settings

I think I know what's happened. It looks like when the background picture was selected, the transparency level was really low/high (whichever meakes it MORE transparent!)
The way to fix this is to go to Start -> Programs -> Pictures & Videos (I.E. the WiMo program, not HTC's version)
Then navigate to the background picture you want to set as the background and open the picture (view fullscreen) then click Menu -> Set as Today Background and change the transparency level to 0% and tap OK.
Fingers crossed that should solve your problem! Annoyingly you can only change the transparancy this way, not through Settings -> Today!
Awesome I knew something was there but couldn’t
remember where......
thanks for help

I was getting sick of not be able to take a good picture and use it as a wallpaper so that it looked good. I know there is an alternative "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" but that thing is a memory hog.
PART 1
So I came up with this picture it's a PNG of 1200x1024. The different grids are the following sizes.
Blue: 8px
Green: 16px
Red: 32px
White: 64px
When this is set as a wallpaper we can finally see what is happening to the image.
Here are the screenshots for the 5 screens of the Stock Launcher of the Archos 101.
Screen 1
Screen 2
Screen 3
Screen 4
Screen 5
Since the status bar can not be hidden on the Stock Launcher we loose 32px at the top and on the right with the soft buttons we loose 40px. When positioned on the first screen we have a good view of the top left corner (1024x600) of the reference picture.
Now lets get to work with this picture below.
Size: 1680x1050
So what do we need to do. The result must be an image with a size of 1200x1024 for the A101 and 960x800 for the A70 where only the top 600px (A101) 480px (A70) will be visible in landscape mode.
Scaling the image to a height of 600px and keeping the aspect in mind. The result is a picture of 960x600
On the bottom add a 424px black border.
On both sides add a 120px black border.
and the result is
Size: 1200x1024
And the screenshot to prove it works.
This was tested with the Stock Launcher and ADW.Launcher.
PART 2
So this worked out because the original picture has a black background. So here is the solution for other pictures.
I made a multi layer xcf file with GIMP to address the problem. You can download it here for the A101 and here for the A70.
Open WallPaper_cropping.xcf in GIMP.
Select the "Background" layer.
File -> Open as Layer -> select the picture you want to crop.
Scale the layer to 1200px width and keep the aspect correct.
Position the layer so that the visible part looks good.
Turn visibility on/off so that only the layers "Background:, "The Picture", "Black Not Visible Part" are turned on.
Save the image as PNG with option "Merge Visible Layers"
Send to archos and apply as wallpaper with the Crop Wallpaper app and use the "Overall" button.
This is all for today. Next We'll see if we can do something with extending the background instead of cropping it.

reserved for thanks ;-)
many thanks
Worked fine for landscape But when I turn it portrait there is a black bar at the bottom - How do I get it to fill in that black space??
Using ADW Launcher if that has any effect on it...
Would put up a screenshot but the forum won't let me...

There is no way to do both landscape and portrait at the same time. So you have to choose.
ah ok- Thanks anyway.
Thanks wdl1908. It will be difficult for me to explain because of my poor english. But with your settings and my A70it it didn't (the image was too high). So I have set the top of my image at 183px and the bottom at 644px and now it's perfect. Maybe someone with skills could check those values cause I'm a newbie.
Thank you very much.

If you attach your original wallpaper I'll look at it to see what the best method is.
So this is my actual wallpapaper. In landscape I see everything of the middle layer and not the 2 others (normal). And in portrait I don't see the face of the guy on the first layer. But this is not important cause those layers are just there to fill the blanks in portrait mode.
The original picture was found on socwall and was 2500*1324px

Very nice wallpaper. I usually don't bother with the portrait mode as long as the landscape mode is shown correctly. I would just cut out the middle part and use that to fit into the portrait visible part of the template.
Hi all,
So I've had my Smart Watch 3 for a while now and overall it's great. There's just one thing that's doing my head in... Any screen that uses grey as a background displays in brown... It's not nice at all. True blacks are fine, but any shade of grey is looking awful...
Here's a screenshot from the device and a photo of the same screen:
I can't post external images so now I can't show my problem... Is there another way of showing my problem?
Well, to show the problem, you could link to an image on Google docs or something. As for fixing it, that is a tall order.
It's a tradeoff of the Trans reflective screen. I'll take being able to see the screen without Backlight.
Indeed.
Details about screen and for context
The the last screenshot of notification panel is on dark mode, the panel should be black but its brown/grayish.
The 2nd one shows the black color (just for comparison)
I replaced screen from a 3rd party. The service is legit.
First thing i noticed is that , the screen calibration has been stuck on which seems like default color profile. There is no visible change when i switch between sRGB , Soft and Default. Custom does work as intended (add blues and yellow when i move slider).
I contacted the service i used and they have been very vocal. They have no idea what it is. I'm guessing something with color profiles issues. Hoping you would help me solve this mystery. Also any idea to get the screen calibration unstuck on a single profile. Thank you.
Will update post with more info if asked.
I update to the Android One UI. Screen capture is now missing the color dropper (color picker). Also, when it saves drawings, the lines are saved VERY PIXELATED.
Any help?

for me it's still there.( color dropper )
I'm on android 10 ,April security patch and Samsung updated ,One UI 2.1
If i use Spen option to screen shot it shows under screenshot image
If it's a swipe type screen shot,
it shows under the bottom option icons ,next to the scroll icon/edit icon
Otherwise only option left is to factory reset ..to hopefully fix issue !
Good luck
