trouble displaying images

So if everything is just simple colored blocks-they are fine and my games tests out fine.
but the moment I add images to them, regular png images, they won't show up in my test.
They show up fine in preview and my device is galaxy tab2 4.2.2
At first I thought maybe it was too many images crashing my game due to RAM but I took everything away except for one image and it still crashed.
Now I made a new apk that I just added one file(a png image of grass). I had no rules to it. It showed up in my adhoc test fine. Just floated there and that's it. Went great.
But I go back to the other apk and add the grass and only the grass to my background and it doesn't show up. So, it seemed maybe I just needed to resave it as png instead of for web or mobile devices because those images were showing up at first.
Kinda lost because I've spent 4 hours straight doing this and I know I may need to simply step away and work from nothing all over again but the situation is just frustrating.
Guess the question is(other than WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???) hah....but what format is it wanting?? It seems to be okay with both at one time or another but I resaved all my images as just regular png to fix this. When I replaced my pictures it asked if I wanted to replace them. Well it seemed like if I just replaced them,after I had saved them in the new format, it still wouldn't work.
So if I drag them into the image box it seemed to work okay. But if I tried to have that resaved in png file be made into a longer image it wouldn't even show up. But if I had nothing but it on the screen it ran fine. Just floating there.
The only rules with this grass image were simple too!
just collide rules! not moveable. that's it. Any help or insight with this would be appreciated. This is either all on my end or some type of bug. So come hither smart people and drop some info on me ;p
