When setting photo as lock screen/home screen wallpaper, quality is reduced

When setting a photo as the wallpaper for my lock screen/home screen the photo quality is dramatically reduced. This appears to be an issue since updating to iOS 8, as I have not changed my home screen wallpaper yet since updating, and when setting the same photo as my lock screen now, there is a noticeable difference. This only seems to be a problem when using landscape photo. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Mara,
This is apparently a bug in iOS 7. Take a look at the posts to the right under "More Like This". Several users have come up with creative workarounds for this. Hopefully it will be fixed soon in an upcoming release!
Cheers,
GB

  • I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

    I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

  • How do I save the photo currently on my home screen?

    How do I save the photo currently on my home screen of iPhone5 to my wallpaper photos or my computer?

    Sorry, there is no way to extract this wallpaper. Your best option is to take a screen shot & that will save to your camera roll.
    I'm not aware of any software that can extract this from your backup, but look at this:

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

  • Iphone- I would like my lock and home screens to rotate

    I would like my lock and home screens to rotate on my Iphone 5. Since I charge it at work and the charge port is at the bottom I have to lay it on it's side in my cradle. I'm constantly having to rotate it to view emails and texts. Is this possible?

    No.

    This is an unrelated issue... Please start your own thread.

  • It would be nice if you were able to set gif's as your home screen or lock screen

    Apple should create a new update to allow users to be able to set up gif's and videos as their home screen or lock screen . That would be a big hit !

    Tell Apple.

  • Lock and Home screen backgrounds

    Just updated to iphone OS 401. In previous 3.x, the lock screen was one image, the home screen was just black background. Is there a way to set that again?

    Thanks, I already found that. I was just trying to get the background back to black only behind the apps while leaving the lock screen the same image as before. There is lots to choose from, just not a way to select nothing (in hopes that it would return to black).

  • When I'm on my iPhone home screen

    IF I swipe my home screen to the right & back an icon will disappear. If I repeat the process it turns to normal or another one will disappear.

    Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything?  I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
    If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

  • When I forgot my password for home screen and it disabled my iPod, i had to reset my iPod. My iCloud had saved all of my data such as photos in storage or something. But I do not know how to access these photos. Any ideas?

    How do i access my photos that were saved in icloud storage from before i had to reset everything. I know the photos can still somehow be accessed because icloud showed that space was being taken up for photos straight after i had reset the device and there were no photos there on the device at the time. So any ideas on how to access these photos from icloud? Any help very much appreciated, thanks.

  • Slide lock on home screen has disappeared

    This is about the security feature you have to use each time you start up the Droid X -- i.e., the image of the combination padlock that you drag to the right.  That feature disappeared a while ago (before I upgraded to 2.2) and hasn't come back.  So how do I get it back again?  I've gone through the security settings and can't seem to find that option.  (Note that I am not talking about the password lock or the pattern lock, just the simple slide lock.)

    If slider was disabled at time of update the slider remains disabled because there isnt any options to enable it, only solution it to hard reset. Use the instructions here: http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-X-by-Motorola/Minimize-Droid-X-Issues-After-Froyo-Update/m-p/296586#M11211  also heres a little reading material that I got from Motorola about this subject... http://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/57221/kw/disable%2Bslide%2Bunlock%2Bon%2Bfroyo/p/30%2C6720%2C7500%2C/session/L3NpZC9uMVE5alJiaw%3D%3D/p_country_code/US/p_reference/moto_integration.php.
    Notice the statement under photo states "Screen lock for DROID X Froyo users (SW version 2.3.15) is a permanent feature.
    You will not have option to turn "Screen lock" (the simple swipe from left to right when display is dimmed) either OFF or ON your handset."

  • Can't delete history when using magnifying glass icon on home screen. Anyone know how to? Thanks.

    If I click on the magnifying glass icon to do a search for something - the icon of the place I searched stays in the window and I can't seem to delete it.  Does anyone know how to delete that history? I can delete my browser history by clicking on the little box in the lower left hand corner of that screen, then clicking on history then selecting and clicking "Clear History." That option is not available when you use the magnifying glass icon.  Help! Thanks.

    When using "SearcH" (the magnifying glass), you can cler your your search history.  Swipe down from the top of the screen, tap "Settings", then "Delete Search History".  I think this is what you're looking for.
