Cannot set wallpaper on the lock screen

I've just been trying to change my wallpaper on the lock screen of my iPhone 5C (iOS v7.0.3 or 11B511) and it doesn't accept any wallpaper I select.  It keeps coming back with the same grey wallpaper irrespectively of what I select.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and maybe know how to resolve it?
Sounds like iOS 7 could benefit from a bit more QA testing, Apple...

No, it is not a bug. It is something occuring exclusive to you device. Mine (and everyone I know using iOS 7 is not seeing this issue. A couple of things you might try:
Carefully follow the procedure an ensure you are doing correctly. You probably are, but since I can actually look over your shoulder ...
Ensure you are using an image that can function as wall paper (i.e. try several). Also, if you have reduced motion, you may have an issue using dynamic backgrounds (but I have NOT tested this myself).
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Why can't see my saved wallpaper in the lock screen?

    I save a picture as wallpaper and it doesn't show on the phone lock screen.

  • HT1369 my ipod touch has been totally wiped clean and I cannot reformat it because the lock screen cannot be reached to unlock it.  Please help.  Thank you.

    my ipod touch has been totally wiped clean.  I cannot reformat it because it asks me to enter my passcode and I dont have a lock-screen to enter it.  When the ipod is turned on, there is only pure white and nothing.  Can anyone help me unlock it?

  • Cannot set wallpaper

    Have 3GS latest iOS. Cannot set any wallpaper image, only get black background. Have tried all Apple preloaded WP and my own photos, none work.

    On one of my iPhone 3GSs I can set wallpaper on the lock screen but not the other screens. However, my other iPhone 3GS allows me to set wallpaper on both lock screen and the other screens.

  • Why is the lock screen wallpaper in my iPad Mini blurry

    When the iPad Mini has been off for awhile, when you open the case the lock screen shows but the wallpaper background is blurry.  If I look at the wallpaper setting in Settings, I can view the picture as a wallpaper and it's clear (not fuzzy or blurry).  The only time it's blurry is when the lock screen is on.  Any ideas on why this happens or how to change it?

    The lock screen covers the wallpaper. The lock screen is slightly transparent causing a blurred view of the screen beneath. In this case the the screen beneath is your wallpaper. The blurred view is normal.

  • Since morning I am not seeing the wallpaper on my lock screen. The image looks foggy.

    Since morning I am not seeing the wallpaper on my lock screen. The image looks foggy. I upgraded to a new version of iOS 7 (7.0.2) yesterday and I guess after that the wallpaper in the lock screen has gone.

  • Cannot take a picture from the lock screen

    Hey,
    I cannot take pictures from the lock screen. I push the home button, i see the icon of the camera but when i try to push it the whole screen bumps slightly up and then settles back down without opening the camera app.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening?
    THX

    Press down on the Camera icon, and then drag the screen up. iOS 5.1 introduced the slide camera rather than the button to press on. I believe people were complaining about accidentally pressing it, not sure though.
    Bit I digress; press and slide

  • My colleague recently synched his phone and now has a full keyboard on the lock screen.  My lock screen keypad is set up like phone keys (alphanumeric).  He's wondering why his is different, and he also now cannot unlock it.  Anyone have this happen?

    My colleague recently synched his phone and now has a full keyboard on the lock screen.  My lock screen keypad is set up like phone keys (alphanumeric).  He's wondering why his is different, and he also now cannot unlock it.  Anyone have this happen?  He came to me yesterday and I noticed that his iPhone 4 still had old software (version in the 4's), so I advised him that he needed to synch it up to get the iOS 5.1.1 version.  He synched and now can't get back in.  He was entering his passcode on the lock screen (which wasn't taking) and I noted to him that his screen didn't look like mine.  Anyone know how to fix this issue, or does he have to do a full restore?

    He has set up a complex password instead of a simple passcode for his phone. If he doesn't know what it is, he'll have to restore. There is no way around a forgotten passcode.

  • Lock screen wallpaper does not appear in the lock screen

    I just reset my iphone 4 running iOS5 and set it up as a new iPhone.    Everything appeared fine until I noticed the Lock Screen wallpaper I assigned does not appear after I lock it.   The home screen wallpaper does.    I hope someone can tell me how to fix this.

  • I just bought a new iPod and I have it set up the same as my other iPod but I can't get notification to show on the lock screen like my old one does. What can I do to fix this?

    I just bought a new iPod and I have it set up the same as my old iPod but I can't get notifications on the lock screen like I did on my old iPod. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi.
    What is the exact notification you are waiting? This could be possible that the device has already been opened once. Don't you think?

  • Is there any way to keep the charge indicator bar onscreen in the lock screen in IOS7? And can I keep the call in progress screen up instead of going to wallpaper while a call is dialing?

    IOS6 had a charge indicator bar on the lock screen that allowed me to see at a gance how much charge I had. Now it only flashes onscreen when I first connect the charger for about 1-2 seconds. I know the icon in the top right shows percentage, but it is too small to get an accurate look.
    Also, when a call is in the progress of dialing my phone just shows the wall paper instead of the whole call control screen. I can hit the home button then hit the return to call bar at the top of the screen to get the control screen, but that is annoying to say the least. If I accidentally dial a number while navigating my contacts or one of the apps it takes several steps to cancell the call before completion.
    I know my wallpaper may be pretty, but I don't need to see it while trying to use the phone instead of having control of the phone or seeing desired information (charge indicator).

    I have a similar issue. Sound works okay but keep getting the app not optimized, you may experience a decrease in celluar strength. Verizon says it is a software issue. Apple says it is a hardware. Phone will niot synch to itunes to do any kind of reset.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • I just update my iphone 4 to IOS 5 and in the lock screen I do not see the icon to access my camera, how can I set it up?

    I cant see the camera access on the lock screen , I just updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5, anyone nows why??

    I've repeatedly had problems with my Yahoo! account on iOS 4 too, and I've had to delete it, then set it up again. It kept asking for my password, though the phone had it memorized, and when I entered it, I'd get the same error message about no password being set. Could be the Mail app has a problem with Yahoo!, because on my MacBook Pro too, the Yahoo! account sometimes gets locked out.
    Oh, and thanks for the tip about the lock screen: I've just posted a new discussion about this. Should have searched the forum first, I know...
