LG Spirit Lock Screen wallpaper issue

[viicards]

For some reason, my new phone will not allow me to set a CUSTOM wallpaper (not one of the pre-installed choices) of my own choosing in the LOCK SCREEN. I can set the home screen wallpaper, but not the lock screen. It sure "acts" like it's allowing me to do so, but each time I try, it reverts back to the stock one. My HTC EVO allowed me to do this easily, as did my GF's Thunderbolt, but this darn phone will not allow it. I have tried .bmp and .jpg formats and neither works.

Anyone know what the issue is?

Could you describe the procedure you took to try and change the lock screen wallpaper?

Just tested changing the lock screen wallpaper. Works perfectly. I went into gallery, viewed a picture, hit the hard options button then clicked set image as then last but not least the lock screen wallpaper. Selected the size and clocked save. And poof.. works good.

Only threw in the procedure in there to show my process. Lol. Hope this helps

The way I did mine was: Settings --> Lock screen --> Wallpaper --> Gallery --> whatever picture you want that is stored on phone. It worked fine.

I have followed the procedure *exactly* as Nash described, and mine certainly acts as though it is saving my picture selection as the lock screen wall paper, but it just doesn't take and reverts back to the stock one. I cannot explain this.

How large is the image size of the image that won't save? (Too large?)

Image size does not seem to be the issue. I have tried to use a picture taken with the phone's camera at the lowest resolution, and I have created an image on the computer precisely at 960x540 pixels (which I believe the screen size is), and neither works. I have also tried to set it using TWO methods:

1) via the settings as described in the above post by Nash Enders
2) long-pressing the image itself, which brings about the set-image-as option, then pressing on the Lock screen wallpaper option and "save". It appears to save/set, but then it reverts to the stock (first) image within the wallpaper gallery.

Now the truly bizarre part is that it does allow me to to change, via the settings method, the lockscreen image to one of the ten pre-installed ones in the wallpaper gallery and that does save ok, however if I try to use an image of my own, it not only does not work, but it causes the lockscreen to revert to the first image (the one with the tree). WTF is going on here?

sounds like a glitch in the phones software. putting my own wallpaper on the lockscreen works fine for me.

Try going into cwm recovery...

---Wipe cache
---advanced / wipe dalvik cache

Do not data/factory reset

I've wiped my cache on every phone I've owned, about once a month, and never had any glitches.

ha mine is the dark blue version you made for me.

 

[OrKo]

Game Theory made that actually lol

Sure enough, I used the Clockwork app to perform a manual recovery, and that cured the issue.
