To use a downloaded video or Live Photo as a live wallpaper on your iPhone, you need to convert it into an Apple-compatible Live Photo using a free third-party app like intoLive on the App Store.

Step 1: Save the File

Download your desired live wallpaper (usually in MP4 or GIF format) from the internet. Tap and hold the file, then select Save to Photos or save it directly to your files.

Step 2: Convert to a Live Photo

1. Open the intoLive app and grant it permission to access your Photos.

2. Select the video or GIF you just downloaded from your gallery.

3. Use the editing screen to trim the length if necessary, then tap Make or Done in the top right corner.

4. Choose the number of loops (e.g., "No repeat" or 2 seconds).

5. Tap Save Live Photo to export it to your camera roll.

Step 3: Set as Wallpaper

1. Open your native Photos app and find the newly created Live Photo.

2. Tap the Share icon (a square with an upward arrow) in the bottom-left corner.

3. Scroll down and tap Use as Wallpaper.

4. Ensure the Live Photo icon (three overlapping circles) in the bottom-right corner is turned on so the motion works. Pinch to adjust the cropping if needed.

5. Tap Add > Set as Wallpaper Pair.

Note: Live wallpapers only animate on your Lock Screen when you press and hold the screen, and they require your iPhone to have "Low Power Mode" disabled.

A Verizon Fios Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is the fiber-optic equivalent of a modem. It is a small rectangular box—usually white or black—that features LED indicator lights and ports for fiber, coaxial (TV), Ethernet, and telephone lines.

Depending on when your home was wired and where the installation took place, your ONT will fall into one of the following categories:

1. Indoor ONT (Apartments & newer homes): Typically mounted on a wall in a closet, utility room, or garage, this is a sleek, black, router-sized box. It requires a dedicated power cord that plugs directly into a grounded power outlet.

• Appearance: Looks similar to a modern Wi-Fi router, roughly the size of a hardback book.

• Placement: Typically found indoors on a desk, in a closet, a garage, or mounted on an apartment wall.

• Lights: Features a series of LED indicator lights on the front (such as Power, Data, Network, and Fail).

• Connections: The bottom or side will have a thin fiber-optic cable, a power cord, and an Ethernet cable running to your router.

2. Outdoor ONT (Older single-family homes): This is a larger, ruggedized off-white or gray box mounted on the exterior of your house. It will connect to a power supply box and battery backup unit located inside your home.

• Appearance: A large, grey, weather-proof box.

• Placement: Bolted directly to the exterior of your house.

• Connections: Wires run through a drilled hole in your wall to an indoor power supply box (which sometimes includes a battery backup).

Left - Right:

1. FiOS Router

2. Battery Backup Unit (BBU)

3. Power Supply Unit (PSU)

NID, ONT, PSU, BBU

⭐ How one box can be BOTH the NID and the ONT

1. What the ONT does

The Optical Network Terminal is the brains of the fiber connection. It:

• Converts fiber‑optic light into Ethernet, coax, and phone signals

• Acts like a modem for fiber

• Feeds my router and any TV/phone equipment

• Requires power (which is why I have the PSU inside)

Think of the ONT as the fiber modem + signal converter.

2. What the NID does

The Network Interface Device is the boundary point between Verizon’s network and my home. It:

• Marks the legal demarcation between Verizon’s responsibility and mine

• Provides grounding and surge protection

• Gives techs a place to test the line without entering my home

• Houses the transition from outside wiring → inside wiring

Think of the NID as the official handoff point.

⭐ Why Verizon combines them

In older copper systems, the NID and modem were separate. With FiOS, Verizon designed the ONT to include the demarcation point inside the same enclosure.

So my gray box outside is:

• The fiber modem (ONT)

• The legal boundary box (NID)

• The grounding point

• The service test point

All in one weather‑sealed unit.

⭐ How the inside boxes fit into this

Inside my house:

• The big black box is the PSU — it sends power to the ONT outside

• The small black box is the BBU — optional battery backup for phone service

These do not act as NIDs or ONTs. They’re just power equipment.

So in closing:

Outdoor gray box: ONT (Optical Network Terminal) & NID (Network Interface Device)

Indoor white tower: FiOS Router

Indoor small black box: Battery Backup Unit (BBU) (you only need this if you have a landline)

Indoor large black box: Power Supply Unit (PSU) for the Optical Network Terminal (ONT)

Microsoft is officially ending Samsung Gallery sync with OneDrive on September 30, 2026.

After that:
• Samsung Gallery will no longer back up photos directly to OneDrive

• Users must switch to the standalone OneDrive app for camera backups

• Existing photos stay safe in OneDrive, but the seamless Gallery integration is going away

This partnership replaced Samsung Cloud back in 2021.

Now Samsung may be preparing to bring its own cloud backup system back again with One UI 8.5

The built-in sync between the Samsung Gallery app and Microsoft OneDrive ends on September 30, 2026. While existing backups are safe, automatic Gallery-to-OneDrive uploads will stop, and your synced photos will disappear from the native Gallery app.

Follow these steps to keep backing up your camera roll:

1. Open the standalone OneDrive app on your Samsung device.

2. Tap your Account Profile in the top-left corner.

3. Select Camera backup and toggle it on.

You can still access all previously synced photos via the Microsoft OneDrive website or the standalone app, but if you want photos saved to your phone locally, download them using the "Download originals" feature in the Gallery app.
