Photo ambient wallpaper fix

arianwen27 — Thu, 29 May 2025 00:43:57 GMT

Heyo. Since the update to one ui 8, ai photo ambient wallpaper has been broken for me. Sent an error report, rebooted, the usual steps.

Now, I'm here because I actually found a fix. I don't have a way to tell samsung I fixed it in my error report but hey, this might help some of you.

Open the apps menu, show system apps, force stop and clear the cache of these 3 apps.

Doing this fixes the ai wallpaper.

Of note, I think rebooting breaks it again. So you have to do this every reboot. Force stopping the top app might be enough to fix it but I'm not going to reboot 5 times to test it

You can manually set a location in the weather app for it to use. Just go around the world till you find the weather you want, then set that as your location.

Once added, you have to drag it to be above your real location, then the wallpaper will be of that manual location

Hmm, I need to get to the bottom of this then as I might just be describing it wrong.

To be sure, set new ai wallpaper using the same image.

Force stop and clear cache on those 3 apps.

Check lock screen.

Those steps work on my device. The set same picture one isn't needed for me but it might help

Update, force stopping "samsung wallpaper" seems to be a consistent fix for me
