Hey, I don't know if this is just me, but I could really use some help. Something weird's happening – I must've done something ages ago that I've forgotten, but my phone keeps switching between two wallpapers, no matter what I do in settings! I have no idea what's causing it, it's so annoying 'cause I like changing my background a lot. I've reset everything, tried different launchers, the whole shebang, and it's still doing it. Any ideas would be amazing!

If you are the creator of an original topic, when there are replies, a button appears above the "reply" button of each response that says "accept as solution" if you are using the website.  If you are using the app, you would tap the 3 dots at the top of the post you want to accept the solution for and choose "accept solution".  For marking your own post though, doing it on the web is probably easiest, as I just checked on my phone the only option my own responses get are "edit" and "delete".

You don't happen to have an active routine that is set to switch wallpapers at intervals, do you?

Is the wallpaper you chose a dynamic or live one that has a couple of different wallpapers that will rotate through?

No because it's my home screen not the lock screen and I believe you can only do that for the locked screen

I would check the wallpaper you selected anyway.  Or see what happens if you select a different wallpaper (you can always change it back).

You might also try clearing the phone's cache partition. It will clean out anything that may be interfering.

1. Power off your phone. Hold Power and vol up buttons until Samsung Logo appears

2. Let go of both buttons when you see the Samsung Logo appear on screen. There will be a delay while it enters recovery mode.

3. Use the volume buttons to navigate through recovery menu options and highlight “Wipe Cache Partition.” Press power button to select this option . Confirm by navigating to the yes response and tapping the power button to select.

5. When wiping cache partition is complete, "reboot system now" should be highlighted; press power key to select it . The phone will reboot as normal.

Nope that didn't work either, it literally just changed back to the wallpaper I'm trying to get rid of

At this point, you might want to put in an error report.  There is only so much time I'm willing to put in to fix something myself that should work in the first place.
