Hey guys i wanted to ask your opinion on the black wallpapers for super amoled screens. I have a note 3 and love the battery life however using a black wallpaper is really boring and i really love the colourful stock one. Will this make much of a difference to my battery?

In general for super AMOLED screens black/grey colours will increase battery life.  But, think of it this way: how often when using your phone are you on a homescreen?  Most apps do not have the option to change their backgrounds.  It all depends on your personal usage.  I've heard people saying they've tested it and saved up to 20% battery life.

 

 

 For me on my Blackberry Q10 w/ Super AMOLED display you can change the backgrounds for things to black (texts, bbm, email) which probably saves me 5-10% battery life most days.
