Phone: Samsung Galaxy S7
OS Android 7.0
I have accidently installed a Gallery photo as a wallpaper. Previously I just used the default which was just blank with icons. I want to un-install it and return to my previous setting, mainly because it is an old photo of me that I don't like. I am not a big Wallpaper, Themes, Live Tiles etc user, good old default is usually good enough for me!
I have Googled this and all I have seen simply state; Settings, Wallpapers and then change it but this does not work.
When I go to Settings, Wallpapers and Themes only the screen for Add Samsung Themes to your Home and Apps screens pops up. A check box is selected by default, leaving it selected or un-selecting makes no difference. The bottom of the screen has Start>, When this is started there is a delay of several seconds and a popup of Themes has stopped and a restart app button. Restarting does nothing.
Settings, Applications, Samsung Themes Disable does not operate (a system file, I am sure) Force Stop works but does not accomplish anything.
If I go to the Home screen and Long Press a blank space I get the Wallpapers, Widgets, and Screen Grid. The first Wallpaper is the Briefing Wallpaper (that I changed when I got the phone), the other selections are bland with the last one having the + sign to add one. Selecting any of these screens does not change the wallpaper.
I have deleted the photo from the Gallery but this has not affected the Home screen. I have not checked The Cloud to delete any backup.
My wife says my fate is to look at my ugly mug but my hope is that someone can decipher this.
Or is this something that needs to be addressed on the Samsung forums?
Thanks, Carl.
