Galaxy S5 :: Phone Screen Has Background Image On It?
Nov 25, 2015
I just bought a new Samsung galaxy s5 and the screen has words and a background image. Its like the samsung logo and galaxy logo and some more that I cant make out. You can see it on the screen and esp when you use the camera.
i just tried to check my emails on my phone, as i reached for it and slid the screen up everything scrambled with a yellow then blue then total black image of my background, and now the phone screen will not turn on at all. My keyboard still lights up and my green light is still blinking but i can not see anything on my screen.
I changed my background recently and stupidly ticked the "don't ask me to change the background on the lock screen again" box that appears when you change it.
Is there a way to get this back as I now want to change the lock screen background.
Ever since I got the Android 5.0 update on my T-Mobile S5; the background for my home screen randomly reverts back to the default. Am I the only one this is happening to; and if not, how do I fix it?
Since I allowed an update on my phone, my screen/background is continuously coming on by itself and this drains my battery. The screen used to only come on when I pressed the power button. I have my display settings set so the screen is supposed to cut off after 15 seconds of inactivity.
Well the day after I got my 5.0 update on my s5. I noticed that my gallery was running. (according to the task bar), so I stopped it. I go back on it a few seconds later and it is running again. How do I stop this!!!
This has happened about 3 or 4 times. When I get my phone from charging, my selected home screen image has changed to the default home screen. Why does it keep doing this?
If I am listening to the music from youtube app or the browser it plays fine until I minimize them (put on background) or lock my phone. Then music stops playing. I looked in the settings all over the phone how to make it to continue playing but couldn't find anything. Also is there a way to pull volume stop/play control on the lock screen?. I miss this feature as I had it on my iphone 6 and also on the iphone music continues playing regardless if apps are on a background or screen is locked.
I just purchased a brand new Nokia 5800 from Amazon yesterday. The phone works great, but I'm not so sure about the screen. It looks fine, but when I have a white background such as when using the web browser it looks kind of smudged. It's not an issue of the phone actually being smudged, because I've cleaned it several times. The screen just looks kind of fuzzy and it's just not as clear as I had hoped. Is this just as good as it gets for screen quality on the 5800, or is it my phone?
One defect that I always have with all my Android phones is that when I record a video sometimes the phone lose focus and the image is blurred. It happens with s6?
I have noticed an issue with the Galaxy S5 that apparently only occurs with the Verizon variant. I work for a place called Wireless Advocates, we are the cell phone kiosk inside of Costco. I'm asking about this because I've had three customers come in to ask about this background data issue.
I'm not sure what triggers this issue but when I try opening up google play I get the "Background Data Disabled : Google Play Store Needs background data to be Enabled" error. It then gives you the ability to either quit or enable the data. If you press enable it takes you to the account screen in settings.
When I go to Data usage the option to "restrict background data" is greyed out. You can't even select it and it isn't checkmarked either. Just to clarify, accessing the internet and other things on the phone work perfectly fine. It's just the use of Google Play that is having issues. I called Samsung customer care and they aren't aware of this issue at all. Also note that force stopping google play, play services, removing the google accounts and adding them back and rebooting the phone haven't solved it. After the reboot the phone will appear fine and then a box that says "Restricting background data".
I have a new T-Mobile S6 Edge and love the phone, but one thing I have not figured out is why I still get background mobile data usage even though I have disabled mobile data and set "restrict background data". Both tuiService and OS services are downloading approximately 100K at a time periodically over mobile data throughout the day even though I have a wifi connection.
I have an s5 and I use the the stock texting app, message plus (Verizon). I know how to change the background pic, but it is always dimmer than the original. Not the biggest deal, but is there anyway to make it as bright as the original pic or is it intended to remain a bit dimmer?
I'm trying to test what a black background would look like on my phone. How do I make the background black just to test what it would look like? I want to return to my current wallpaper easily if I don't like it.
I'm using the reg sms app, and I know how to change the background and bubbles for ALL my convos...is there a way to change the background for INDIVIDUAL conversations... IE : put a pic of my gf as our background in the convo...
Several weeks ago I upgraded and wound up with the white background. Today, my wife upgraded and her phone kept the black background. Is there any way I can get the black back?
When I first got my SGS2 I loved the fact that when I went to a different screen the background would move, being in landscape mode. Now I can't set my background to landscape. Is there any way to make it so I can?
I'm not sure if YouTube got updated but I used to be able to listen to videos in the background without having to be in the YouTube app but as of today I can no longer do that. Did you YouTube removed this feature?
Is there a way that the galaxy s5 can capture raw images? Its available on new devices and i had read before that Android Lollipop will support it natively.
