wallpaper not sizing right.

[kami8586]

Lately ive decided that want to change my background. So when I do after unlocking the screen it show the whole image then quickly resizes to half the image. What am I doing wrong here?

Let me rephrase that...When I apply the wallpaper the bottom half is all black and sized the image. Current using ZEDGE app

I havent had that problem. However.. I download the wallpapers I want to use (from zedge) but I go to the gallery and set the wallpaper from there. Try that and see if it makes a difference.

That's what I do. Most of my wallpapers are from Zedge. I always download them to my gallery, and set them from there on the phone settings menu. Never had a problem.

The simplest and best way to avoid issues with your wallpaper is to ensure they are made to the exact size of the screen; 1920 x 1080. If done properly, the wallpaper should as well weigh very little; 20-30k or so for a static background.

Zedge gives wallpaper only in resolution for your phone ... which is 2160x1920

That's not the correct resolution for this phone...

...and what happens when you use the stock wallpapers?

I have nova launcher but currently try not using it. I did for a bit a while ago then didn't use it. And I tried using the stock wallpapers it would show up when I unlock the screen then quickly go to half size again.

It seems like when I restart my phone it'll allow it to be the full screen but I know I shouldn't have to do that everytime
