After the latest update for my GS6E (SM-G925I) - G925IDVU2COGA the wallpaper motion effect stopped working can anybody help me?

I read somewhere on here Samsung took that out because of the battery drain, supposedly was linked to that.

I noticed this as well after the update. However the option for wallpaper motion is still there when you set the wallpaper which is confusing.

5.1.1 on Sprint still has Background motion.

Look at the bottom right of the picture, just above the wallpapers available. You will see the toggle for the 3D. I got to this by holding my finger down on a blank spot of the home screen then selected the option all the way to the right, wallpaper. This is what i took a picture of. Hope it helps.

If its there and not working i would suggest either a cache partition wipe and or reset. I know that isnt what you want to hear but....

It (the toggle) works for me but when I put my phone into Ultra sleep mode and then take it off in the morning it resets itself to no motion again. Frustrating.

If Samsung had intentionally removed the wallpaper motion effect I doubt it would still be an option (albeit an option that doesn't work). Therefore it's more likely to be a glitch, on that will hopefully be addressed in the next update. IF it was done intentionally to save battery power then why not just give users the choice rather than forcing them not to have what many feel is a nice visual effect. What next, forced 50% brightness reduction? I doubt that would go down very well.

Thanks but mine isn't there for some reason? I have the latest 5.1.1 update from tmobile. I notice after that 2nd update it didn't do the motion anymore.

The way I bring up the option is:

Gallery - Select a picture - MORE - Set As Wallpaper - Choose any (eg. Home and lock screen) then you should see the same as below, even though it doesn't work.

Love the wallpaper James! I may have to go find that one...

I did the same but no sign of improvement. I am confused. If Samsung doesn't want it they should've removed the toggle

I just tried that way and it looks completely different than yours.

Oops wrong screen shot. Doesn't give me the option at all for the motion. Must be a glitch from new update or Samsung doesn't want us to have it.

Yes that's the right screen. Very odd unless it's a country/ provider thing? I'm Uk and sim/ contract free.
