Question

Photos as wallpaper on the Samsung Galaxy S?

Sep 24, 2011 1:11PM PDT

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">I have tried everyway possible to load a photo from my gallery and set it as wallpaper. It keeps giving me a crop option before setting it. Unfortunately it does not allow me to save as actual size so that the phole image shows as my wallpaper. Is there something I am doing wrong, or another way to do this that I am not aware of? Thank you in advance for your help and time.

Your S screen size is how many by how many pixels?

Your wallpaper image is how many by how many pixels?

But a comment. I'm finding folk to think these things should be as good as a PC or iP_d but they are not. We get to help the poor dumb devices along.

Your OS? In XP you right click the Desktop, choose Properties, choose Desktop, choose Browse, find the picture, and set it. To get an exact fit you choose Stretch.

Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S isn't a PC???
