The picture causes Android phone to hang when set as Wallpaper
According to user information, it seems that devices from Google, Samsung, OnePlus, Nokia, Xiaomi are all affected, although not all models are affected equally. Last year, the company Xiaomi also crashes the phone due to wallpaper. And this photo bug affects most Android vendors.
Just set a photo as wallpaper, your Android phone may cause it to crash and unboot. This is a picture of a very poetic lake surrounded by mountains on a sunset afternoon. At first glance this picture looks a bit sad, but it will be sadder if you use this photo as wallpaper for your Android phone.
The problem was reported by the famous leaker Universe Ice on Twitter and confirmed by dozens of other users.
I tested it myself and the results were amazing. First, the Mate 20 Pro does not appear to be affected. Then I tried switching to Google Pixel 2, after setting this photo as Wallpaper, the phone immediately froze. The phone tried to reboot, but the screen would keep turning on and off, making it impossible to get past the security screen.
Restarting the device in safe mode (by holding down the volume and power buttons) still doesn’t fix the problem.
Finally, the Pixel 2 shows a message saying the phone can’t boot and shows the message: retry or restore factory settings.
Factory reset will bring the phone back to normal, but will cause all phone data to be lost. The photo that caused the Android phone to hang when the Wallpaper was set created a lively debate on social networks and there were many theories.
How to fix crashes when using background images
Here are some solutions if you accidentally freeze your phone when setting this wallpaper:
Solution 1: If your phone will boot into safe mode, you may have enough time to set the wallpaper back to normal and safe.
Solution 2: if the phone can’t get in Safe mode but you have a phone with a mode Recovery Mode – and you use Custom ROM or root your phone. You can enter Recovery mode to delete this wallpaper and set another.
Solution 3: If that still doesn’t work, you have to do a factory reset. Then use data recovery software on Android to restore data.
At this time, it is not clear why this plate is set as Wallpaper causing errors for Andorid phones. This is the case on devices from many brands, including Google. It is possible that this image contains a metadata (meta data) that makes Andorid unreadable. It’s also possible that a special color mode makes the phone’s screen unable to handle it.
Perhaps the photo error that caused the Android phone to hang is more serious than the error Iphone characters cause crashes. AnonyViet does not encourage you to try to set this photo as Wallpaper for your phone. If you want to try it, you should use Android Studio or Android emulator software on the computer.
