Help Wallpapers not working for me

Wow..the same thing was happening to me..I thought I was the only one!! It kept going back to the live "bubbles" wallpaper but it wasn't live....it would fix it by rebooting...but then after a few days a reboot didnt fix it....it just stayed on the bubbles wallpaper. I had the wall switch app running where it was supposed to switch wallpaper every so often so I uninstalled that.
Are any of you running the wall switch app?
After uninstalling I went into the "backgrounds" app and reinstalled one wallpaper. If that doesnt work try saving the wallpaper to sd card or phone and then installing thru the menu>settings where ever the wallpaper is for the htc..see if its in there and if you can set it. Since I uninstalled the "wall switch" and reset one wallpaper from backgrounds app....I havent had the htc bubbles come back one time! (for at least 5 days or so):)

Weird - I was able to set the image as my background using ASTRO, but not through the normal Sense options. Definitely some sort of bug in the software.


Having the same problem with my backgrounds. Just will not change when using astro to select the background file (fat fingered the "always use" check box by mistake). In fact if I use astro to select the background, my inc goes into an infinite loop.

I uninstalled astro, rebooted and the background setting was working again (using sense to select pic).

I just started having this problem, no clue why. I've had my phone since launch, and it just started happening this week.

No matter what my wallpaper is, if I change it to a normal photo (non-Live), it says it changes but keeps showing the default HTC Sense "bubbles" background. If I reboot the phone, the photo will show up.
