How to fix the problems to change the wallpaper in Android

If you are looking for a remedy with the intention that this problem does not continue to give you headaches, we will check what is happening and what we can do about it to solve it. Even if your problem is different, we invite you to take a look at all the solutions, which may be the key to the error you are suffering.

Funding issues

There is nothing more annoying than the fact that the phone gives us some kind of error when we want to customize it. One of the most frequent failures among Android mobiles occurs when we want to modify the wallpaper of the smartphone. Fortunately, we will find different solutions that will help us solve this problem. So, from now on, you will not have any type of failure to put the one you like the most on the display of your device.

Are not saved

When we have to modify the wallpaper or put a photo as the wallpaper, we may find that although it is a simple process where we only have to choose an image that we like and press save, it does not end up being applied to the device. The cause of this, in most cases, is because we are using Google Play applications that offer us the function of setting a photo as wallpaper . But, nevertheless, it does not work on our smartphone.

But, the solution is very simple since we only have to use that app to download the image we like and save it in our internal memory. Then we will have to access Settings> Display> Background and choose the one we saved previously. Once inside, we must click on the button that we see in the previous photo that appears in blue. In this way, it will be saved without problem since now we do not depend on other apps.

The size is modified by itself

Once we have established the desired wallpaper for our smartphone, we can find that the image does not adapt as we expected to our display, which is due to the fact that the averages do not match . Not all smartphones have the same resolution or the same aspect ratio, which is key when using a background for the display. To find the ideal size, we can use the information sheets on our site, where you will find what you need.

Then we just have to go to Google to find a snapshot that suits our measurements through websites or Google Images itself. By downloading the desired photo and applying it, we can see how now the dimensions are no longer modified, since they fit perfectly on the touch panel of the Android mobile.

Change automatically

Among the situations and options of the customization layers in Android that can make us think of an error, there is the option that automatically modifies the wallpaper. There are fewer and fewer layers that offer this, but it is still present in some such as MIUI, One UI or EMUI. We are just going to have to enter the settings, locate the Wallpapers section and change this option to find out if it is an error or a bad choice. In this way, we will be left with a completely static one that will not rotate continuously, as is the case with Xiaomi phones and their not-so-beloved carousel of images.

I can’t put my photos

We have seen that downloading a custom image for our mobile is not difficult, but nevertheless the photos we take with the smartphone are not always easy to put as wallpaper on the mobile without causing problems. The same, in many cases, will be due to an internal Android error that makes it difficult for us to use it, but which is easily solved as follows:

• We access the mobile Settings.
• Then we look for Options and enter them.
• We touch on the three points and choose to see system options.
• Now we look for the Wallpaper option.
• To finally access it, enter Storage and clear the cache and data.

With this process we will have started the section of the system that is creating problems by using the camera image with its own wallpaper.

It looks fuzzy

An error that can be exasperating and cause some confusion appears when we manage to set the wallpaper. But, nevertheless, it is not seen with the desired sharpness. This leads us to think about several things, such as that we have cropped the original image too much to use it or that the photo itself does not have the resolution that our panel needs.

In the second case, we invite you to look for a photo that adapts to our measurements, as we have seen before, so that we can use it on the device. If it is a cropped or made by us and adapted capture, it will be better not to choose a small part of the image because it will be the culprit that the pixels are seen in the wallpaper and it can only be solved using the entire photograph.

How to do it right

The problems will not only be due to the software, or the image we choose or another failure that we have just explained. On many other occasions, the main culprit that it does not fit well or is not configured in the correct way will be because we have not known how to follow the steps well. Therefore, we will explain step by step how you should modify this aspect for the display of your terminal.

For the home panel

As we have seen, the system only allows us to change the start option together with the lock one, a change that takes a short time in Android stock and, however, does not affect all the customization layers, so you will have to check how it affects you . In this case, we will first have to put the wallpaper for both of them. And then change it again individually.

Although, you can try the following steps, as your phone might let you configure it as follows:

1. Enter the terminal settings.
2. Click on the Screen section.
3. Select the Wallpaper option.
4. Choose where you want to choose the photo from.
5. Next, you must select the image> click on it> tap on the confirm button> choose the option for the home panel.

On the lock screen

Another of the most frequent Android problems when trying to modify this section occurs when we try to put the wallpaper only on the main home desktop or on the lock panel and for some reason the system interprets it for both. In this case, the process will not change much with respect to the previous option, so we recommend that you save the image in the memory of the mobile phone and then follow these steps, since some external apps do not allow it to be done individually.

1. We enter the Mobile Settings.
2. We touch on Screen.
3. Later, click on the Background section
4. We choose our desired image.
5. Click on Set fund.
6. And finally we decide if we want to use it as a ‘Lock screen’.
