This is a bug you don't see everyday. The setting of a simple image as a wallpaper στο Android κινητό σας μπορεί πραγματικά να καταστρέψει τη συσκευή, ωθώντας την σε έναν άπειρο βρόχο επανεκκινήσεων, που τελικά θα σας αναγκάσει να κάνετε πλήρη reset.
The specific image that spoils the Androiod mobiles was shared on Twitter by Ice Universe , who explained that the wallpaper error affects Samsung phones. However, it seems that other models can be affected.
At this point, everything seems to be related to the color profile used by the image, which Android cannot read correctly, and ultimately encounters a fatal error and causes the device to reboot. It is not yet clear why some phones are affected, and others are not.
It is also quite interesting that the error is not new, but so far it has remained largely unexplored, since no one paid attention to it. A post to Google IssueTracker reveals that the problem was first reported in March 2018, more than two years ago, but a fix has not yet been released.
The phones they use Android 11 they will not be affected by the bug as they automatically convert the unsupported color space to sRGB and support a wider color gamut.
Η Google it has never recognized it as a bug, so the best suggestion is to avoid setting this image as wallpaper on your phone. Several users have already had it because they didn't think it was possible, so if you really want to try it, at least don't do it on your main phone, and definitely not without making a backup first.
But if you want to play and hang your phone then the only way to recover seems to be a complete factory reset. Although some say that they managed to boot their device in safe mode and then set a different image as wallpaper.
It goes without saying that we have not attached the image to this article, for obvious reasons, although you can see a screenshot in the Ice Universe tweet, which also includes a thumbnail of the wallpaper.
