Wallpaper on iPhone 5 Lock Screen won't stay

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to a new iPhone 5 a couple of days ago and noticed that the lock screen wallpaper I had on the 4S did not transfer. I assumed it was because the image I had used was no longer in my photo roll and changed it to something else. The iPhone will only actually show the lock screen wallpaper on a random basis, however; most of the time there is nothing displayed. This is true whether I choose a stock image or something from my camera roll. The normal app background wallpaper is unaffected and shows exactly as expected.
Is anyone else seeing this sort of annoying behavior?
Never mind. I didn't think about the fact that, when charging, it only displays the battery charging image.

    How do I remove the lock (with the circle around it) on my Iphone? The screen won't change to the side view. I have no idea what button I accidently
    pushed.... Please advise!  Thanks, Amy

    Double click the home button, swipe the dock at the bottom of the screen to the right, tap the circle/lock so it becomes just a circular arrow.

  • I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
    And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

    I have no idea why it stopped working.  But why it failed does not matter.
    Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

  • Black bar on bottom of iPhone 5 lock screen

    There is a black bar at the bottom of my iphone 5 lock screen, is this supposed to be there? Is enyone else having this problem?  The top image is what shows
    when I set the lock screen picture, and the bottom is what the actual lock screen looks like.  Is there any way to fix this?

    nevermind, im just dumb, for some reason the wallpaper would move up from where i originally had it selected, moving the image down lower on the choose wallpaper screen fixed it.

    How to disable iPhone 5 lock screen voice over passcode?

    I'm not at all sure what you're asking.
    I guess you might mean you would like Siri to function when the iPhone is locked.  You can do that by going to
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Siri = "On".

  • My Ipod touch screen won't stay on.  Right after turning the Ipod on it goes fuzzy even after a full charge.  Is this due to battery problems?

  • The screen of my macbook air was pulled on too hard and now the screen won't stay up.

    A friend of mine pulled on the screen and something popped out of place and when I took it to someone to get it fixed, he told me that there is a crack somewhere in it (I don't remember what the part was called) He told me that if the part gets worse that the screen won't stay up on its own. I need a replacement part, but I wanted to know the price range for the new part.

    Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE examination.  You will be advised as to your options and then be in a position to make an informed decision.

  • IPhone 4 iOS 7 lock screen won't automatically shut off after receiving a message

    whenever i get a message on my iphone 4 (ios 7) the lock screen does not automatically shut off. it just stays on until i manually turn it off and it drains my battery completely! how do i fix this? it's really annoying.
    i have auto-lock set to 1 minute.

    Same issue here.
    Noticed it on a iPhone 4 and iPhome 5S.
    Already running iOS 7.0.3.
    Screen, last night three times, goes into lockscreen and seems to be stuck there. It won't go off (into suspend or how you call it) until you hit the button.
    Not sure if it's messages related, since i didn't get any message the last "freeze" time.
    I was running some apps, including GPS and Safari and whatsapp.

  • When I apply a wallpaper only to the lock screen the shadow behind the slider disappears.

    Since i updated to iOS 4.3 i have this issue. When I set a wallpaper to both home screen & lock screen the shadow behind the slider appears, but if i set a background to eighter lock or home screen, the shadow disappears. Is there a way I can fix this?

    Well, i noticed this "issue" on my iPhone (4S, iOS 5.1.1) today. And since I found it also on my other iPhone (3GS, iOS 5.1), I think that it is not an issue but intention.

  • My IPhone 4 lock button won't work....

    For the past month, my iPhone 4 lock/sleep button has been really hard to push. I wasn't to worried until just an hour ago it stopped working all together. I try pushing it and it won't click, push down or anything. I've  always taken good care of my phone by keeping it in an otter box, not dropping it, and it's never had water damage. I would take it to the apple store, but the nearest store is over 2 hours away... So is there anything I can do do rig it to work? Or even is there an app? Like how they made an app for people who's home buttons stopped working? Any help would be very much appreciated, thank you.

    well the same home button feature you speak of can sort of be enabled for the lock/power key: Enable Assistive Touch: Tap SETTINGS, General, Accessibility, AssistiveTouch (near the bottom) and tap AssistiveTouch to ON. You will now notice a small dark square with a circle in the middle (you can move this square anywhere). Tap the dark circult to open the assistiveTouch menu, then tap Device and tap and HOLD the lock screen icon. This will bring up the iPhone's Power-Off slider - no need for a power button any longer!

  • My iPhone 5 lock screen is unresponsive after iOS 7 update.

    It's weird because the new iOS worked for about a day then started to act laggy. When I restarted the phone the lock screen is totally unresponsive.
    All help appreciated.

    Oh, and yes, I have already done the hard reset trick of holding down power and home keys at same time.
    Also tried to restore through iTunes but it won't let me because I have "find my phone" turned on and it tells me to turn it off before I can restore it. But it can't even get into the iPhone settings to make the changes.
    I like the look and feel of iOS 7, but I wish it would actually work.

  • Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

    I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone.  I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default.  In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default.  Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
    The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen.  I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password.  Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone.  I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots.  Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
    I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay.  I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query.  After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer...  I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
    You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
    Here's what I found out...  If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
    You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer.  After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work...  This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
    Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up.  If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
    I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it.  Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
    Good luck!

  • Green battery on top right of iPhone 4s lock screen, is it fake or normal one? It isn't charging.

    My dad bought an "iPhone 4s" in Greece. He showed it to me on Skype. He showed me the box, there is an "AT&T" and a price sticker, and the "4s" on the side of the box is highlighted with black which I think that it isn't highlighted. When he showed me the phone, the lock screen has a green battery icon on top right of the lock screen, which is normally white. In my case, the battery was like the battery on "settings". I wanna know if it is normal or fake. Thanks.
