thank you=)
that option does not come up anymore.......i do remember seeing it ask for that when i first got the phone.
A. In TouchWiz (Samsung's version of Android), when you set a picture as the wallpaper, you should get a prompt to resize the picture, and also to set it as landscape or portrait. If you select portrait, the picture will not scroll. However, if you select the landscape option, it will scroll.
Also, in Settings>Display>Animation, check the "All animations" option. If this is turned off, then this animation will not be shown. It is meant to save a little bit of battery, but really isn't all that useful.
How to make an android phone run faster?

Like the way it was! when it was bought! I have installed cache cleaner and task killer etc. So how do u make it run faster! I don't have a lot of apps! But loads of pictures ob SD!
A. hi ,
1. Remove Unnecessary Home Screen
Typically Android phones come with default of 5 home screens. The newer smartphones feature up to 7 home screens, which we think is overkill. This will simply kill your phones RAM, and reduce efficiency. Set only those many Home Screens as required
2. Remove Unnecessary Widgets
Widgets may be useful, but Android users tend to overdue it sometimes. It is recommended that you use minimum number of widgets possible, so as to get maximum efficiency.
3. Do Not Use Live Wallpapers
Live Wallpapers are a huge resource hog, and their novelty wears of pretty soon. Stick to static wallpapers and see the huge performance boost which you will get.
4. Uninstall Any Glitchy Apps
Some poorly coded apps can create havoc to the Android OS. You will think that you have a hardware problem, when in reality, there is an underlying software which is slowing everything down.
5. Do Not Use Task Killers
People have a misconception that task killers make their phones faster. But nothing is truer than the opposite. Task killers mess with system programs by shutting them down, and your phone has to work hard to reload them all over again. This effects not only performance, but battery also.
6. Use a Different Launcher
The Launchers which are built into the phones are typically poor in interface as well as speed. We suggest installing a different launch such as Launcher Pro, or ADW Launcher, which will give you a visual boost in performance.
7. Move Apps to SD Card
Too many apps on the phones internal memory can make your phone lag. Moving your apps from your phones internal memory to an SD card will help free up phone memory and give a performance boost.
8. Update to Latest Version Of Android
The newer versions of Android give much better performance than the older versions. It is recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of Android which your phone supports, so as take advantage of the newest changes which have occurred in the Mobile OS.
9. Installing a Custom ROM
Installing a custom ROM such as Cyanogenmod, or MIUI can give your phone a major performance increase, as they will remove any bloatware, and have better launchers and essential apps to boot. This may be advanced, but will give one of the biggest performance boost, and it the best way to harness the most of your phones hardware
10. Root and Overclock
Another Advanced method is to root your phone, and then overclock it, with softwares such as SetCPU. This will reduce battery life, but give a major increase in speed. You should be careful, so as to avoid bricking your phone. Softwares such as Once Click Lag Fix for Samsung Galaxy S can also give a major performance boost after rooting.
