Changing wallpapers is one of the easiest ways to personalize your phone. But if your vivo X300 Pro refuses to change wallpapers, either on the lock screen or home screen, it can be frustrating.
This problem usually happens because of system restrictions, cache glitches, or disabled permissions in the launcher. The good news is, you can fix it in just a few minutes.
Why Your vivo X300 Pro Wallpaper Might Not Be Changing
- The wallpaper service or theme app is not responding.
- The selected image file is corrupted or unsupported.
- System launcher permissions are disabled.
- Software or theme updates are pending.
- Temporary glitch in the phone’s memory or cache.
Restart Your vivo X300 Pro.
A simple restart often clears minor software issues that stop wallpapers from updating. It refreshes the system memory and reloads background services.
- Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
- Wait for your vivo X300 Pro to reboot, and then try changing the wallpaper again.
Check Wallpaper Settings.
Sometimes, the wallpaper might only be applied to one screen instead of both. Adjusting the wallpaper preferences ensures it updates properly.
- Open Settings, and then tap Home screen and wallpaper.
- Tap Wallpaper, and then choose whether to set it for the Home screen, Lock screen, or both.
Pick your desired image and tap Apply to confirm.
Verify Image Compatibility.
If the image file you’re trying to use is too large or corrupted, the system may fail to load it. Trying another picture can help you identify if the issue is file-related.
- Open the Gallery app, and then select a different image.
- Tap More options, and then tap Set as wallpaper.
If this one works, your previous wallpaper file might have been damaged or unsupported.
Clear Launcher Cache and Data.
The launcher handles wallpaper changes and home screen functions. If it’s bugged, clearing its cache and data can fix the issue.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps and notifications.
- Tap App management, and then find and tap iManager or vivo Home. Tap Storage, and then tap Clear cache and Clear data.
After this, restart your phone and try setting a new wallpaper again.
Disable Battery Saver.
Battery optimization features sometimes limit background processes, including wallpaper changes. Turning it off ensures all visual effects and personalization features work correctly.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Battery Saver, and then toggle it off.
Now try changing the wallpaper again to see if it updates.
Update System Software.
Software bugs in older versions of Funtouch OS can cause display issues. Keeping your vivo X300 Pro updated ensures you have the latest fixes.
- Open Settings, and then tap System update.
- Tap Check for updates, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install if one is available.
After updating, restart your phone and try changing the wallpaper once more.
Fixing wallpaper problems on the vivo X300 Pro usually comes down to resetting app settings or clearing the launcher cache. Once it’s working again, you can freely switch between wallpapers to match your mood or style.
FAQs
Why does my wallpaper revert back to the default one?
This can happen when the launcher crashes or if a theme is overriding your wallpaper settings. Resetting the launcher or switching to the system default theme usually resolves it.
Can I use third-party apps to change wallpapers automatically?
Yes. Apps like Zedge or Tapet work well with vivo devices, but you may need to grant them permission to modify wallpapers.
Does clearing launcher data delete my apps or layout?
No. It only resets your home screen layout and preferences, but all your apps remain installed.
