The first pic is from my tablet, the second one is from my friends.
Look at the point of the pen and the paper beneath. Maybe its not so visuable on the picture but its very obvious with the naked eye. Any idea of what might have happend with my tablet? Its like my resolution gone down to 800x600.

Are you stock ROM, have you done any MODS to the unit or are you running any tweaking apps?
.
i upgraded to JB 4.1.1 manually through odin except that nothing. And what do you mean with tweaking apps? Any example?
With all your problems try a factory reset .

What is the model number of this unit?
Have you ever changed the wallpaper?
Did you install any apps that could change the tablets resolution like DPI Changer, System Control pro or anything like these apps?
Have you tried factory reset?
Have you tried reloading the current ROM, switch to new ROM or re-flash the original factory ROM?

Change wallpaper again.....
This time do home and lock screens
then chose wallpapers folder not gallery
Then choose one of the factory wallpapers and hit set wallpaper
Then let us know how it looks.
Oh, one more thing... do a screen capture and then open it from your computer and see if it looks the same as your tablet screen

Ive changed wallpapers, didnt work.
I did factory reset just now, didnt work same problem remains..
I did a screen capture though, and opened it on my computer, i think it does look a little bit better on the screenshot than on the tablet screen actually. Any idea?

Does anyone else use this app and experience a problem where after a while half of the wallpaper goes black? It seems to be something to do with the orientation because it's as if it thinks it's in portrait so it cuts part of the wallpaper off. Switching the tablet's orientation to portrait and back temporarily fixes it.
Not sure if it's an app bug, honeycomb or just my tablet.. haven't seen anyone else mention it :S
No it is not your tablet, I had the same problem with my xoom. Are you using another program like HD wallpapers to set wallpapers? If so, this is your problem. What you have to do is download the wallpaper you want then use ww to set it. Hope this helps.

Ah ok thanks! Was using ww to set it to no scroll and then was using gallery to set the wallpaper. Have done it with ww now so should be all good.

I'll have to give that a try. I had stopped using the program because of this issue, but scrolling is SO much smoother with wallpaper scrolling disabled. Thanks!
Hmm.. thought it had solved the problem but it still happened. Have sent an email to the developer so hopefully will get a response
Cannot say thanks enough for the WW app!!!! I was about to go postal trying to change all of my sizes for wallpapers! Nothing worked and it all looked crappy. WW to the rescue! Thanks a ton!
And now I have the dreaded "black bar!!!" Jeezus these android devices are kilin me here! Why is this so damn difficult...
Forgot to post response from dev the other day, seems to be a problem with android not the app:
Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Twisted Apps. I really appreciate the information and hopefully I can explain the issue.
The black screen is not due to Honeycomb, but instead due to an Android API bug. I have noticed the error myself and I have only created a work around for it within the app. I have tried posting the issue to Android forums, but I haven't received a goodresponse as of yet. The problem happens more redly with devices that rotate because WW has to set the display demensionseach time the display isrotated. It isduring this Android API call that the screen goes back. The Wallpaper is still set, but nothing shows. Otherthan rotating the display, I have also created a Fix menu options. Select Menu->Fix and it attempts to resetyour current wallpaper. I personally have only noticed the error a few times with a few otherrandompeople mentioning it happening seldom. You are the first person to indicate it being more often then not. I amreally sorryit is causing issues for you.
Not the best solution, but here is a work around. Use WW to set your wallpaper as Scroll, and then if you want to set your screen to No Scroll use a home app such as Launcher Pro. When a home app normally sets the display to No scroll it doesn't keep reseting the display dimensions upon rotation. To get the Exact Setting with Scroll you will need to set the Wallpaper as Exact and then select menu->Scroll. Menu->Scroll will keep the current set wallpaper, but change it from No Scroll to Scroll. As a note most people like WW because of the No Scroll option, but WW also automatically resizes the images withouthavingto do special modifications to the image.
Twisted Apps is my startup with WW being the firstapp. I have anotherfull time occupation,but I willlook into this issue in the next couple of weeks to see if I can find a more permanent solution. Again,I sincerely appreciate you using WW and your time to e-mail me.
I hope you can be patient while I find a solution.
Sincerely,
--Russell T Mackler [email protected]

Hi all,
I am still very new to my Xoom (have only had it for about a week) and I have noticed what seems to be a glitch with the "wallpaper resizer/cropping tool" in the gallery when I am trying to set new wallpapers.
On all of my other Android devices (past and present) when I resize the picture to make it may wallpaper I can simply do so by using 2 fingers (pinch to zoom) but when I try this on my Xoom it is only recognizing one finger at a time and I have to resize by moving the box down, then to the right, then up, then to the left, etc.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so does anyone know how to fix it?
Please advise...
Thanks in advance...
That's going to be the least of your concern. I'm trying to figure out how to enable the whole wallpaper instead of cropping it.

LOL... Ya... I read your thread as well. I can get my wallpapers to work from the gallery using the crop feature but it is a pain in the a$$ to do when it wont work properly...
One easy way to get all of the wallpaper to view is to install wallpaper slide show. It's a live wallpaper but it allows viewing of the whole thing.

Hi all,
I had this same problem until another thread on this forum where some one mentioned the Live Wallpaper app that solves these problems and works really well you can give it a try as its free.
Marc
Can someone tell me how to configure the app? When I click on folders it FC's.
Just got the TF, love it to bits.
Sounds a bit daft but how do you make a wallpaper fit??? I've download a few that look really when seen on other TF's but when I select it on mine you get that box to adjust then the image seems blown up and looks rubbish given its resolution!
Not sure if it matters but running 3.2 stock, dont have root. Have tried wallpapers from here and 4walled and tried different size images.
Sorry if this has been answered a million times! i tried looking but searching the term 'wallpaper' on here = nightmare!
cheers

wallpaper wizardrii is the only app that will help you. Its free on the market and its free. Simply choose the wallpaper and select the option scrollable for best results.
Note:
This still crops images slightly, but is far. far better than setting wallpaper via gallery.
Give me thanks if this helped you out. I use it all the time
I've used it, very nice app, but still the quality is not that good.
can u give me some wallpaper to test it?
think i've got it sorted. using multi live wallpaper and it works spot on.
just cant get it to display a different pic per screen as it probably should

Just go into Multi setting, add individual setting (depend how many screen you have) on each setting you go in and choose folder picture (you should create a folder for each screen) and choose the path.
hope that helps

Not true. I have all jpg's and they display perfectly.
I might be missing something here but I can't apply a wallpaper without it being either bad quality (even with a high quality image) or misc. launchers and apps. I am running CM7.
I have the same problem, and also the wallpaper keeps changing to the wallpaper from the lock screen. I'm sure there's a solution posted somewhere.
I'm sure there are plenty of ways to do this, but I used the Kindle Fire Utility. Under "Extras", there's an option to lock or unlock the wallpaper. Unlock the wallpaper, make your change, and then lock it again. Mine hasn't changed since.
I think the quality problem has something to do with how the device is scaling the image if it's not the correct resolution.
I found that it's very hard to get a wallpaper to look good in both landscape and portrait view depending on the resolution. This is unfortunate because I have a ton of wallpapers that would look great on the kindle but they just don't display right.
Having issues with this myself...tried the lock / unlock..no luck.

Just checking...did you mean unlock / lock ?
The default factory setting is unlocked (and lock screen changes the wallpaper every time it is cycled) so use bebrooks1 method (post #3)...it worked for me on stock rooted.
I found this. I haven't tried it yet but it's worth a shot.

As far as I know, the accepted method for properly setting wallpapers (on Android in general) is to use an app such as Wallpaper Set And Save from the market. It'll set the wallpaper at the original image quality.
I always use Wallpaper Wizardri to set my wallpapers......but with this postiive comes a negative....for some reason it constantly runs in the background. I just use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze it and unfreeze it whenever I need to change wallpapers. Works like a charm.

Downloaded this app and tried it out and it doesnt work. The wallpaper is still very blurry. Looks nothing like the image i selected for the wallpaper.
To change the wallpaper on your kindle and make it "stick", do the following:
Set your wallpaper
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to data/data/com.Android.settings/files/wallpaper
Long press on wallpaper, select permissions from the menu that drops down.
Uncheck the "write" permission for all users then click OK.

Yes I am.
It's /data/, not /sdcard/data or anything else.
I assume you are rooted...what file explorer are you using?
I use ES File Explorer 1.6.1.0 from the Market (not Amazon because last I checked they were a version or two behind)
Then go into settings a scroll to bottom and select ROOT EXPLORER and when asked I think I selected the CM option (and for good measure select MOUNT FILE SYSTEM, although I don't think that is required unless you are working in the /system/ folder).
Now you should see the contents of the /data/ folder...
Hope this helps.

Had the same thing happen to me. Check out my post (#7) from another thread in this topic.

Has anyone figured this out yet? There's a lot of talk in this thread about something entirely different. Most of us know how to make it so the wallpapers no longer change.
What I'm curious about is how to set a wallpaper and not have it extremely stretched and blurry. Neither of the apps listed on the previous page achieve this goal (Wallpaper Set and Save & Wallpaper Wizardii).
This is on the stock ROM (using Go Launcher EX).

Download Wallbase. It's a wallpaper app that I've had excellent results with. Not everything out there will work with tablets. This one does and has TONS of wallpapers in it, HD, and just about all of them look like they were made for tablets.
By the way, the mod that was given earlier regarding how to keep your wallpaper from changing WORKS.

The no wallpaper happened to me one so I l looked on my sdcard Where i put em, in download folder I pressed and viewed in whatever gallery etc, then set as wall. Afterwards when back looking for /data/data/com.android.settings/files I saw wallpaper whose permissions in write column had to be changed.
I've purchased the Pixel 7 Pro when it came out and migrated apps from my OnePlus 6. Since then the wallpaper has been changing automatically every day. Doesn't happen on the OnePlus. It didn't bother me much, but after a while it started to get a bit on my nerves. And I am now trying to avoid doing a factory reset.
I haven't rooted this phone yet as I need it for work, and I am wondering if anyone in this awesome community have some ideas they can share on how to debug the problem. Do I need to root the phone to be able to identify the problem? (avoiding this as I won't be able to use it for work due to the apps I need)
I've gone through all apps to check whether they have any automatic wallpaper switcher and couldn't find the culprit. Also uninstalled any wallpaper related apps and disabled the ones that I couldn't uninstall.
I use Nova Launcher and uninstalled it for a few days to see if that was the cause (it wasn't). And I've searched on the phone for all images I have to try to find the active wallpaper to maybe identify the app this way, but can't find anything. Using Mixplorer, but probably will need root to better access all files?
Any help is appreciated.
Um, have you used the Styles& Wallpaper built in app? This should overwrite everything else as soon as you set it to something...
I did yes. But as there is no automatic wallpaper setting in the Pixel I guess it doesn't change that.
I've tried setting live wallpaper, static, own photo, and it always change.
It's been a challenge trying to find the issue
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction to identify the wallpaper location or some logging.
Damn that's weird Good luck with logging, I think it'll be like looking for a small needle in a large hay stack... Unless you know the exact moment it changes?
