Wallpapers are the main visual attraction of our phones, and the best opportunity to show our personality to others or differentiate ourselves from them. An element that we all think is harmless, but that as we have known now can have serious implications for our terminal. It is the case of Samsung mobiles , they are blocked when applying a certain wallpaper.
The wallpapers of our Samsung should not pose any risk when applying them to our phones. They do not integrate viruses, as they can slow down performance a lot because they have a large size or resolution. But this time it is an Android failure that is behind this curious problem with Samsung phones.
Never use this background on your Samsung
Today we have known a somewhat disturbing information, which the popular leakster IceUniverse has revealed on Twitter. In it it warns us, or rather implores us, that we do not convert a certain image into the wallpaper of a Samsung mobile. Specifically in this case it is a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, but it can happen to any terminal of this brand.
WARNING ！！！
Never set this picture as wallpaper, especially for Samsung mobile phone users!
It will cause your phone to crash!
Don’t try it!

The case is that whoever applies this wallpaper with a beautiful landscape, sees how the phone goes into a loop and becomes useless. We have seen the videos of users with this wallpaper that see how the lock screen enters a loop from which we can exit the phone. Although it seems to affect Samsung phones above all, we have also seen cases of Google Pixel with the same problem.
How to solve it?
Logically, if someone does the grace to send us this fund so that we can put it, or we can be tempted and we end up putting it as the background of our phone, we are going to have to apply a solution that, as we have seen in these Twitter threads, is quite effective. .
As we have been able to know, it can be solved by restarting the phone in safe mode , and changing the wallpaper within this mode for another that is not conflictive like this, or what is the same as any other. It is a method that can change according to the manufacturer, but in most it works the same.
- With the phone switched on long press the on / off button
- When the options to turn off or restart appear, while pressing the on / off button, click on the reset button
- Now a window will appear asking if we want to restart in safe mode
Once we restart we will see in the lower left part of the screen that we are in safe mode, and you will notice that many of the phone’s features are not loaded as a precaution. Here you can change the wallpaper for a new one. It seems that behind all this problem there is an Android error with the interpretation of the color of some images, which can turn into a loop like the one we have seen in Samsung mobiles, although the best solution for this is undoubtedly not to put this wallpaper, there are many other harmless and just as eye-catching.
