I downloaded some full hd wallpapers from a website. When I open them in gallery they cover the whole screen beautifully, however, when I try to use one as my background, I have to crop it with the gallery app. When I do this it cuts off exactly one row of pixels across the bottom of my screen leaving a small but annoying white line. Please help. I just want my phone to be pretty.

No.........
Possible if you crop the photo

the photos would be smaller, not bigger as it would require some of the top and bottom cropping off. I'd prefer them to be the size they are now!
You can make the pictures larger by using the phones photo editor if you want to. Hold your finger over a pic while browsing the gallery and when menu choices are offered choose the edit option and from there you can adjust size etcetera. I have only used this resize ability for my 2D to 3D conversions to fit them better on screen as optimus photos are a good size anyway.
Alternatively you can take two higher resolution pictures using an app like 3dsteroid and have the app turn them into one large 3D image.

Yes they would be slightly smaller - if cropped on the phone (takes work too) - but to fill the whole phone screen would make them light more pixels (on the phone).
It is really a pitty the cam does not opt for filling the screen - btw. In filming it does - and it looks good in WIDESCRREN.
I hope to have it corrected in the photo mode @ a later time.
Cheers

the photo mode is correct (4:3)
filming uses more of the screen because it's 16:9 but the resolution is much lower
Yes, i know the filming res is much lower and not better. But still i would love to get rid of maybe 20% res, but be able to see the pics full screen.
One more cropped image size in the cam settings (in 2d and 3d) would satisfy my needs @ all.

Small addition (begging to lg):
The same problem with pictures not beeing displayed full screen applies on my brand new 16:9 led tv - a shame - even more if seen in 3d. It makes the view into the screen like a keyhole effect.
I would really appreciate the possibility of shooting cropped img in the 16:9 format which is also the screen aspect of the phone itself and i think almost every modern display device.

Hi,
I like S note a lot, but is there a way to have full screen in normal landscape mode? I have to constantly switch to preview mode to the bottom of a note. Or you expected to have in portrait? Thats the only time I get fullscreen.

If you zoom in until the page fills the width of the screen you will have a full screen.
Full screen without states baars.

Hi
I noticed this odd thing with the Nexus 5 camera and searched over all different reviews and forums but could not find a single mention of it.
When I take a photo with the Nexus 5 native camera app, the photo taken will always cover a larger area then what was seeing in the preview. For example, Lets say you want to take a photo of your monitor screen and (regardless of using the zoom or not) you position the phone so the borders of the monitor cannot be seen in the photo. Once you snap the photo you will notice you can see the border of the monitor and some... the resulting photos always cover a larger area then what is seen on the phone.
Has anyone noticed this or am I missing something?
Thanks

Resolution. The camera resolution is superior to your screen resolution. Compare the screen spec. to any full res shot details to see the difference.

Screen is 16:9 but the camera sensor is 4:3.
If you drop the camera down to 2 mpx widescreen, what is in the screen will all be photo

Thanks guys for clarifying. It makes sense. I didn't think about it as somehow this wasn't an issue with my old Note2 even though the screen resolution was lower, with the same 8mpx camera.
Depends if it was taking widescreen pictures or not.

The Nexus 5 also has a wider angle lens than most phones too. That might have something to do with it as well.
i had this finding too not long ago.. at the expense of some important photos of precious moments "ruined" by this mismatch of screen preview and actual resolution..
and my way out is to use apps that handle this situation..
e.g. "Snap Camera HDR" has a "Preview Cropping" setting.. when this setting is turned off, the screen preview shows exactly as the current resolution ur photo is set at (with some blank margins at left/right or top/down sides to cater for the resolution differences..)
im just a happy user of this app and am in no way associated with it.. there is free version in the play store and xda here so u may give it a try..
Hello, I keep hearing people saying that the screen of the Note PRO 12.2 is very nice. Is it only for viewing photos and watching movie? I tried a Note PRO 12.2 in another store. Again, they did not allow me to connect it to the internet. From Magazine MX, regardless of font size, I can see letters and numbers made of large pixels and the edges are not smooth. Is this a rendering problem or the dpi problem? Can this be fixed without rooting? Does this issue show up when I view pdf documents? As they did not allow people to connect to the internet, I could not test. Thanks.

At what is considered a normal viewing distance no pixels should be visible. The screen displays at a true 2560x1600 resolution. If you were seeing jagged "large" pixels you are probably too close to the device. There are only one real occasion you should see pixels (possibly). This is when either viewing colored say blue text against a fully saturated solid colored background (HIGHLY UNCOMMON). Black and white text will render 100% perfectly and any full color images will also render perfectly. Understand the reccomended viewing distance for a screen this size is close to 18-24 inches

Thanks. I saw the large pixels under magazine MX. I could not test other applications. On both devices (from different stores), as soon as Handcom Office was launched, the app got terminated automatically. Couldn't test browser nor pdf as the stores did not allow wifi connections. The most obvious are the large numbers that made up the clock (white numbers with blue background). I could see the large pixels even at an arm's distance. I don't remember exactly but I think I also saw large pixels on letters that made up the calendar under Magazine MX (white numbers in green background). As I flipped to other pages, I also saw large pixels.
It's definately not that bad. If you look for it you can see pentile artifacts but text is plenty sharp and I'd much rather have this display than my wife's iPad 2 for example. Sure a retina display on an iPad 3/Air is great too but this Note Pro screen is plenty good enough for me.
I give you credit for your fortitude man, in the few months you've been trying to decide I've purchased one, lost it in an act of utter stupidity and then purchased another LOL.
I still cannot buy the LTE version in my city. I will travel at the end of next week. I am going to make the purchase. I have to choose between the LTE version of NOTE PRO 12.2 and the LTE version of 10.1 2014.

If its about black and white text it should be amazing. Pentile only requires 2 subpixels to make a black line. Rgb takes 3. So the pentile actually will produce more lines at the same resolution. And for black and white text reproduction is 100% flawless. Text should be much better on the note is what im sayin. Well nearly identical considering lower dpi.

No complaints on the screen here, I also have the Note 10.1 2014.
The screen is great at normal using distance. People who hold the screen to their nose complain. It's got a lot more pixels than my 27" desktop monitors that's for sure.
Has anyone observed that when a wallpaper with white background is used, there's a black shadow at the top of the screen and when a wallpaper with black background is used there's a white Halo on top of the screen. Also, on the Google Now screen, there's a Halo around the Google logo. Is this an issue or is it common? I come from Nexus 6P and don't remember having any such issues. Haven't used FHD screen for some time now. Have got used to QHD screen. Could this also be a factor?
None of that evident on my 2.

I noticed this on the default pixel / google launcher. Switched to Nova and all is well.

Bingo... Tried Nova Launcher and the halos did disappear... Strange... Maybe we'll have to raise this issue with Google
I definitely see the halo using the regular launcher. Kind of silly that they didn't notice this.

Yes that is present on the Pixel 2 launcher. It's absolutely horrendous and tempts me to use a custom launcher.
I saw the same with black wallpapers. Only in stock Pixel launcher, but it is normal. Bright shadow protects against burning the screen.
And also when using a light wallpaper with some white background, there is this white tint appears at the bottom of the screen. And it makes the wallpaper looks like washed out or faded. I don't like it.
yess i saw this same thing , and i was wondering what the hell. in fact sometimes my screen gets really dark.
this halo is not some kind of effect on the Pixel launcher?
On my case it's only around the Google logo.
