Lock Screen Wallpaper Low Resolution

istroberi — Sat, 28 May 2022 22:01:48 GMT

After the new software update (April 2022, One UI 4.1), I've been experiencing an issue with my lock screen wallpaper. The quality of the image changes after setting it as wallpaper. The image becomes low resolution and the colors were different from the original. I even tried it in samsung default wallpapers. On the other hand, there's no issue with my home screen wallpaper. I tried to screenshot my lock screen but the photo looks fine. Is this a bug on the new update? Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

@istroberi Hello, try clearing the cache and data of the Lock screen app. To do this, access Settings / Lock screen, scroll down to About Lock screen, see i button, in Permissions verify that you have the permissions granted, In Battery-Optimized, in Storage, clear the cache and data and restart the device.Comment.Greetings.

its happen because exinus is a sht!

I have this problem too, only black wallpapers without blur can be shown in orginal quality, and some images

But if you use a design wallpaper or texture, colorful or blurry wallpaper resolution go down

I suddenly have this issue on my stock background Tab S9. Samsung support is useless. Did you ever resolve this problem?

Turning off fingerprint also fixed it on mine. Seems this is a very specific error that Samsung could address. Or maybe it's needed for correct fingerprint detection?

I found out, that the fingerprint sensor you have is relevant. If you have a ultrasonic sensor, this problem should not occur. But if you have an optical sensor, this problem occurs :(. Idk why this happens.

Have your problem solved? I have the same problem. The s25 ultra. It's a very annoying situation.

I found a really dumb workaround.

Go to "Wallpaper and Style" click "Change Wallpaper" then select two images as your lock screen wallpaper (one of them being the one you want) then click done. After that, when it asks you to adjust, just remove the second one.

For some reason this was the only way the image would retain its quality after being set, without having to disable anything.
