I have a question about a problem I ran into recently. While setting a wallpaper on my Galaxy TAB S5e, I get to move it around, resize, etc. However the problem I ran into is that I can only adjust the wallpaper in horizontal or vertical mode (depending on the tablet's current orientation) and not both at the same time. As a result, when I adjust how the wallpaper should look in horizontal mode, it works only in that orientation. If I choose to use my device in portrait mode, the wallpaper just zooms in the middle of the picture, which most of the time doesn't look great. When I set my wallpaper in vertical mode however, it works in that orientation, but not quite in landscape. The device just takes the already zoomed fragment of the picture and stretches it to fit the screen in horizontal mode, resulting in even lower resolution.
I have a similar problem with my Galaxy Tan S 10.5. I usually use it in landscape mode but the wallpaper resizes itself at random. Sometimes about quarter size top-left, sometime about double size and then back to my setting.
... If so... my question here (and added to the first order issue I'm following on from)... why does the Tab Active 2 resize the wallpaper, (picked from my photo gallery), to 1/4 of the landscape view after it is powered down and turn back on the next time I go to use it?
I am starting to create tablet wallpapers and this is what I figured out. When you have a wallpaper that fits perfectly in portrait orientation, when you switch to landscape (or flip your tablet sideways), it has to zoom all the way in. It gets pixelized and doesn't crop right.
If you create a background in landscape (or take a picture), it just crops the sides when you flip the orientation to portrait. So, as long as you take a picture landscape wise and the people are in the middle and not anyone on the sides, you should be fine.
