Here’s how to fix lock screen wallpaper issue on your Samsung Galaxy devices
Several flagships and mid-range Samsung Galaxy smartphones are currently testing the One UI 6 beta update while others are getting regular software updates. Recently, some Galaxy users may have noticed that their lock screen wallpaper does not change after updating the latest software based on One UI 5.1.1.
According to the information, the issue occurs when the user sets the lock screen wallpaper to a multi-pack and deletes all but one of the images in the pack. The wallpaper and style app, which controls the lock screen wallpaper settings, may not apply the changes properly in this case.
This issue can be resolved by deleting the cache and data of the wallpaper and style app. Through this, you can restore the lock screen wallpaper to the default one and allow the user to change it again. However, this may also erase any customizations or preferences that the user has set in the app.
To clear the cache and data of the wallpaper and style app, you need to open Settings >> Apps >> tap on Filter and Sort icon >> Enable Show system app >> Find Wallpapers and styles and tap on it >> Tap on Storage >> Click on Clear data and then Clear cache.
After clearing the cache and data, restart the device and check if the lock screen wallpaper issue is resolved. If not, you may need to wait for a software update from Samsung that will address this problem. Samsung has announced that they are working on a software update that will improve this issue, so make sure to update your device to the latest version when it becomes available.
Several Android users have recently reported that Google Maps keeps crashing. The issue affects Android users using both stable and beta versions of the app, specifically with versions 11.144.x and 11.145.x.
Users on various Android devices including Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones have noted that Google Maps opens normally but then closes suddenly after a few seconds. This makes the app unusable for checking maps or getting directions.
Notably, the issue seems to be more common for those on the Android 15 Beta, though people with the stable version are also facing the same.
If you’re experiencing this issue, you can try a temporary solution to fix it. You can uninstall recent updates of Google Maps, just need to go to the App info page, and tap on the Uninstall updates option and this may help to fix.
Since Google Maps is often preinstalled on devices, you can’t completely uninstall it. Older versions of the app don’t seem to have this problem, so rolling back to a previous version could be a solution for now.
As of now, Google hasn’t acknowledged the issue or commented on releasing a fix. Not everyone is having this issue, so if your Google Maps is still working, that’s good. If you facing the Google Maps issue, you need to pause updates until this issue is resolved. Stay tuned for updates from Google for a permanent solution.

Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can take to fix this problem. You can temporarily resolve this issue by force-stopping the ‘One UI Home’ app. This can help reset the app and potentially fix the problem.
For that, you just need to follow the below-given steps:
- Go to the Settings on your device.
- Tap on ‘Apps’ to see a list of installed apps.
- Find and select the ‘One UI Home’ app.
- Tap the ‘Force Stop’ button at the bottom of the screen and confirm the action.
Notably, force-stopping the app may temporarily resolve the issue, but it is not a permanent solution. So, for a long-term resolution, ensure that your Galaxy device is running the latest software. However, Samsung is working on updates to address this issue, so keeping your device updated can help resolve the problem.
To check and install the update, you just need to open Settings >> Software Update >> Download and install.
Samsung is aware of the issue related to the sound quality of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro when using the “Concert Hall” feature in the Sound Assistant app. Some people have noticed that the sound becomes muffled and distorted, especially with music that has a lot of bass. This problem only occurs when the “Concert Hall” mode is turned off.
Users of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro reported that the issue is related to the software of the Buds, not a hardware problem. However, users of other devices, like the 2nd generation AirPods, don’t seem to have the same issue, which shows the issue is specific to how the Sound Assistant app works with the Buds Pro 3.
According to the community moderator, Samsung will resolve the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro sound quality issue with a new software update. It means a quick fix through an app update isn’t possible.
In the meantime, Samsung recommends turning off the “Concert Hall” feature to improve sound quality. The company is working to fix the issue soon.
The Korean tech giant plans to include a solution in the next software update for the Galaxy Buds Pro 3. The team is making sure the “Concert Hall” feature works better after future updates.
