Lock Screen and "old" desktop background

When leaving my desk I lock my screen via "Sizzling Keys" - an iTunes key shortcut application. This brings up the login screen.
After I enter my password to unlock the screen, as the rotating cube effect is happening, the desktop background shown is not the current desktop background for the monitor. It is an old one from many months ago. The current background appears when the rotate effect has finished.
Is there any way to get rid of this old desktop background appearing?
Small, but annoying...
Thanks,

So I'm not only one...
As I mentioned in the beginning, I had this problem also before GDR2/Amber. So that isn't the key for me.
First time I had this problem maybe in March/April or so. It started with Amazing Weather HD's lock screen view. It did got better pretty much on its own. Then the problem came back, in June, I think. Again it got better after some time and also some trials with settings of the app. At that time I mostly was concerned of Amazing Weather. And I think that live tile of the app was working at that time, so the problem was more with the lock screen functionality.
Then in July I the problem came back again and now it haven't go away anymore... Before that I started to use live tile of CalendarPro. It worked somehow for starters, meaning that it was a day late mostly, but it got updated on its own after all. Now either it, Amazing Weather, Bing Finance, other weather apps or anything I guess, doesn't work.
Reboots, different amount of allowed back ground tasks in the settings, resetting live tiles, change of app settings, support from app makers or anything, all doesn't help. What I now need would be support from Nokia and/or Microsoft.
Oh, I also have Facebook app, the MS one, and it doesn't work either. It did work in Spring when I had the early difficulties. Now live tile of it doesn't work and also the notifications (top of home screen and the icon in lock screen) have stopped working...
Only not 'system app' that does work on the back ground is WhatsApp. It does notify of new messages and the number of those is visible both in lock and home screens... Could WhatsApp have messed something up for other apps? As I installed it in May and it has got some updates after that...

  • How to Set Image to Lock Screen and Background in Windows Store API?

    How to set an image to windows lock screen and desktop background for windows store app in c#?
    if changing lock screen is available in windows store C# how about changing the desktop background using Windows store C#?

    Hi icce cage,
    To change the Windows lock screen we can use this API:
    LockScreen class with set image methods.
    To change the desktop background, it is not possible as I know.

  • Mac laptop screen going to sleep and changing desktop background

    last weekend my daughter called to say that her Macbook was acting strange. On Friday night she saw the battery icon said 25%, so she shut the system down. The next morning she plugged it in and booted. It took a while and the desktop background had changed to something grey. Also, the screen would blank out after 30 seconds to a minute. If she hit the space bar it would show and then go black after the 30 to 60 second time period. I had her shutdown and boot to her external drive where she had a month old image of her system. It took a minute or two to boot (it always seems like a long time when you are on the phone). It came up as her normal system and background. She left it for over an hour and it did not black out or go to sleep. We were planning on doing a restore the next day, but when she did a normal boot later that day from the internal hard drive, it came up with her normal background and the screen stayed active. She had not tried to set any settings. Is there something that a low battery would do to change the energy settings? We were going to explore the settings when the system magically worked as normal. It seems strange that a boot to the external drive would restore settings so that the system worked normally.

    Energy Saver and third party USB often don't go well hand in hand. I would though contact OWC and let them know you are having this problem, since they have a good track record of supporting the Mac platform. In the meantime, use Screen Saver instead of Energy Saver.
    And always keep your data backed up at least twice as my FAQ explains:

  • Since update to NJ4, problem with audible, lock screen, and car charging.

    Since update to NJ4: I listen to audible a lot on my phone. Since the update, when I'm listening and the phone goes to lock screen, when I power up, my home screen background goes to a solid color and the phone screen jumps from audible to lock screen and I can't do anything but turn off the phone.  When I set security to none, no problem.  Seems only to be when phone goes to lock screen.  I also noticed I always used a third party car charger with no problem, now it says I need to use the original charger, it never did that before and I've had the phone for a year.  I did a factory reset and still have the problems, did not help. Any suggestions?

        nuqrat Software updates can change functions of the device as it is designed to help the phone operate better. It is common that the phone displays the message about the original charger be connected. Some charges can drain the battery life or not charge the phone properly if they are not from VZW or the manufactuer. As for the the issues with the screen and lock settings, we recommend testing the device while it is in Safe mode. http://vz.to/SsJCZp  Please keep us posted.

  • IOS7 lock screen and wallpaper changes

    A friend who just upgraded & is beside herself at the changes to the lock screen and wallpaper in iOS7.  Can't seem to make the Move and Scale function work and stick on the Wallpaper, and she hates the keypad overlay blurring out her Lock Screen photo (she had the her Lock Screen photo cleverly sized and positioned in iOS6 so that the keypad was an integral part of the picture).  Is there a solution to this in the community? 

    dclehmkuhl,
    This is an absolutely low character and unethical change Apple made starting with iOS 7.0, I believe.  I've read rumor that Apple is in bed with a friend of theirs who've they've allowed to make an App, which crops the photo so it will work on the lock screen and background photo.  If this is true, this indicates a terrible low character era starting with Apple.  An era of Apple beginning to disable standard features and moving them to App makers to generate programmers and funds for friends of the company who make these Apps.   I've been submitting Apple feedback since iOS 7.0 regarding this (probably going on 25 to 40 times now) with no updates and now, today, we are on iOS 8.1.1 with no changes.  It would follow that this will not be corrected if Apple has allowed App makers to make fixes for this code change.  Sad, isn't it.  Apple is rolling in so much money and success that they don't fear any repercussions from doing something like this.  You think Steve Jobs would have done something like this to the users?  I don't think so.  If you read Tim Cook's bio, he came from Compaq and IBM.  Stars began aligning in my understanding of Tim Cook when I read this and see programming like this.  Either he is involved or he is so separate from programming now that he didn't catch the programming change and hasn't noticed this bug.  Either way, it's bad news for Apple's success.  An unethical CEO or an ignorant one who is no longer in control of the basics.

  • Lock screen and world clock show 24hr time, with date & time set to 12hr..

    I gave my old iPhone 3GS to my wife after turning the 24hr time to off in in date & time settings but the lock screen and the world clock still display the 24hr time format (everything else is 12hr). I've tried rebooting, rebooting and leaving off for an extended time, switching 12/24 toggle back and forth in date & time settings, and deleting all locations in the world clock but the 24hr format stubbornly remains. The 24hr time confuses my wife so want times to display in the 12hr format.

    I am having a similar problem with my iphone. i am in New Zeland, i have the date and time set correctly but in the world clock it is about 18 hours out. the wolrd clock for San Franciso agrees to my local time. i have tried different time zones and having the the automatic time setting on and off. i have also rebooted the iphone. any suggestions?

  • HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

    i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.
