Found the owner of the wallpaper that hung a series of Android smartphones
On a trip to Montana's Glacier National Park last year, amateur scientist and photographer Gaurav Agrawal captured a stunning sunset. Agrawal shares its work on the Flickr platform and is loved by many people.
Unfortunately, people later discovered that Agrawal's photo would cause Android smartphones to hang if users set it as wallpaper.
The beautiful picture of Agrawal, the color parameters of the image have been changed to not harm any smartphone
According to the sharing of Agrawal, he edited this photo with Lightroom and exported the image in super wide HDR color space. Normally, this is not a problem, the photo still displays beautifully on iPhone, computer and on the web.
However, because Android 10's built-in color rendering tool can't properly display the color space of an image, some Android smartphones will hang if this image is set as a wallpaper. Smartphone models, mainly Google's Pixel and Samsung's Galaxy, will restart continuously until the user resets the device to factory mode.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Agrawal shared that he did not know that his photo could be so devastating. "I just want my photos to be shared widely online, not wanting to hurt anyone , " Argawal said. "I use the iPhone and the wallpaper is always my wife's photo . " Argawal's image has appeared on National Geographic.
As the picture went viral, even celebrities like Ice Universe started giving warnings to users. Interestingly, when Ice Universe uploaded the picture to Weibo, its color parameters were changed so it didn't cause any problems.
Meanwhile, a lot of old Android smartphones and some Nokia models running Android are not affected by most Nokia smartphones that do not use Google's default color rendering tool. Samsung and Google have announced that they will soon release software updates to fix this problem.
Because this problem can not be fixed by rebooting the machine, it can only be fixed by restoring the factory settings or entering safe mode and then deleting the image above, so users should not manually I tested it. If you still want to try thrills, users should install Android Studio on the computer.

For Agrawal, this is probably a sad memory of him. Surely he did not want such a great photo to bring quite serious side effects. Argawal took a whole day to get this picture.
"That day the sky was gloomy and cloudy, we thought that no sunset photographs would ever be taken. But when we were about to return, things began to change, and the rays of the sunlight pierced through. cloud, "said Agrawal. "From now on, I will use a different format for my photos."
