Samsung Galaxy Screensaver Resets to Colors: How to Fix

In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of the Screensaver Mode getting reset to Colors on Samsung devices. The latest iteration of the One UI has bought a slew of noteworthy features to the fore. These include the likes of Smart Widgets, Smart Calendars, additions to Samsung Pay, and modified Material You color palette, among others. However, it hasn’t been free from its fair share of issues either.

Recently we covered about the videos not loading, the home and back button not working, and the inaccurate color palette. Now, there has been another unwanted addition to this list. Various users have voiced their concern that the screensaver on their Samsung device resets and reverts to the default Colors selection, irrespective of the fact whether they choose Photo Table, Photo Frame, or [Google] Photos. Initially, the issue was only being reported by Galaxy S22 Ultra users.

However, now, the S21, S20, and even the A series users have reported a similar bug. So it seems to be an issue with the latest One UI 4.1/4.0 OS rather than being device-specific. So all this begs an important question- how to fix the issue of the Screensaver Mode getting reset to Colors on Samsung Galaxy devices? Well, there does exist a nifty workaround that has spelled out success for many users. So without any further ado, let’s check it out.
