After updating to One UI 7, the call background (default or custom) no longer shows when receiving or making calls. Instead, the screen just displays a solid background with the caller info and buttons — no image at all.

I factory reset my phone, cleared Phone app data, reset app preferences, and even tested in Safe Mode — nothing worked. The bug persists even with default Samsung call backgrounds.

This was working fine before the One UI 7 update. Please fix this ASAP, as the call background feature is completely broken right now.

Device: Galaxy S24 Ultra
Software: One UI 7.0 (Stable)

Even a factory reset didn't help me. I still have that problem.

After installing One UI 7, the call background feature no longer works on my Galaxy S24 Ultra. No matter which background I set—even the default ones—it shows a green-yellow screen during calls. I did a full factory reset, and the issue still happens. It worked fine on One UI 6.1. Please fix this in a future update.

The issue you're experiencing with the green-yellow screen during calls on your Galaxy S24 Ultra is likely related to a software glitch rather than a feature change.

I know. I mean the "feature" is buggy because of a software glitch.

No, it's due to a feature change. It changed on OneUI 6.1, but as long as you didn't reset your phone it was still available. Because he reset his phone the feature is no longer there. I experienced the same thing.

Same issue with my S22. I just want the default call background but all it does is display solid colors and it looks horrible. Lime green, bright pink.. šŸ˜­

I’m facing the same issue after the One UI 7 update on my S21 FE. What’s happening is that it uses the contact’s profile picture color as the background color, which looks horrible because most contacts have random colors.
