[Q] Unable to change lock screen wallpaper. Please help !

I received my Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Panamoz two days ago. All works fine, but I can't change the ugly orange wallpaper on the lock screen. Is it a problem with my tab or a well known issue ? If not, how can I change it ? I've tried several classic methods but the orange screen is still there :-(
Thanks for your help.

You see the + in the top right hand corner of the home screen? You can change the lock screen will gallery images.
Settings>Screen>Screen display>Lock screen
At which point you should be in Gallery (or if, like me, you have an alternative pic viewer--e.g., QuickPic--installed, the dialogue box should ask you to "select wallpaper from"...). Select photo of choice, crop where necessary, and presto.
I place all of my own wallpapers in jpg format in a folder in the internal sd storage.
Funny you should say that I was trying last night and could not change just tried and worked perfect strange must have been tired or drunk
I have already tried all what you're saying (I'm not a beginner), all the classic methods to change the lock screen wallpaper. It doesn't work. I select a wallpaper (Samsung ones or mine) , save the change, but the orange lock screen is still in place. I don't understand why. I can only change the home wallpaper.
Okay, I've had this issue before and got it worked out.
When you choose the image for your lockscreen just use gallery crop, don't crop with QuickPic or any other app.

Problem with widgets and the lockscreen

I have the "Multiple Widgets" option turned on, but it doesn't bring out the "Favorite Apps" and "Camera" options. In the lockscreen when I try to swipe the clock to get to the "+" thing to add a widget, all the clock does is do a partial flip and get stuck. Even when I remove the clock I still can't add widgets to replace it and it comes back when I relock the device. Please someone help me because I'm really stumped.

I already had it set to "Swipe" and turned "Multiple Widgets" on, but there's no "Favorite Apps" option anywhere. Plus the other problems I mentioned.
Silly me, I found the "Favorite Camera" and "Camera" options by tapping the "Multiple Widgets" option. However, I still can't swipe the default clock widget on the lock screen to get to "+" sign and add widgets (all it does is a partial flip and get stuck), and when I remove the the widget I can't add a replacement anyway and it comes back whenever I relock the screen.
Someone please help me because I'm really stumped here.

Did you find a solution to this because I've got the same problem. I set the widgets up no problem when I first got the device but when I came to change them I found that it doesn't work anymore. Something is obviously causing it to fail but I've no idea what. I really don't want to do a factory reset.

how to change lockscreen wallpaper

How do you change the lock screen wallpaper. It has the option but it doesn't even work....
I am trying to set it from a picture and have it stay that way. Seems like a bug unless I'm doing something wrong.
Same here, I've changed the lock screen wallpaper but it didn't seem to work.
Anyone else?
Just tried ...
Indeed there is a small glitch ...
i tried to change the Lockscreen background first to "Glaze" but i cancelled and take a pciture from my gallery.
And it worked - but for curiosity the "glaze" picture have now a checkmark on it and let me believe this is the one i have choosen.
But watching the lockscreen itself prove that it is my picture that is an the lockscreen

Can you elaborate
Solution kind of... Go to your lockscreen and swipe up from the bottom. There should be three options. Choose lock screen settings. Click on "wallpaper for today." Then click the plus sign in the bottom right hand corner. This will allow you to add a picture from your gallery. Once you have one saved in that list with random ones, go back to your lock screen. Swipe right until you find the picture you just saved. Then swipe up from the bottom and choose lock this wallpaper. It only lets you choose a max of 1 month but this will work. Pain in the a** but works.
sorry for beeing late ...
As you have your solution - still need a step by step?

I'm using 500 firepaper for daily home screen (multiple time a day actuall with simple gesture like double or triple tab on your screen or when switching from portrait to landscape mode or manually by setting any time want for example every hour or even every 5 minutes or 24 hours) automatic wallpaper background change and for lock screen I'm using next lock screen witch not not only provide daily wallpaper but much more customization and option for notifications or direct access on many app directly from lock screen.

it didn't work on me or i couldn't. any other advice?
I've got a similar problem. I somehow managed to change my lockscreen wallpaper at some point, but now it's stuck. My device is a A2017G B05 on the latest OTA Update. Using Google Launcher.
I was having the same problem. I saw some advice on this recent Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Axon7/comments/5fyyji/cant_change_lock_screen_wallpaper/
...that included setting the lockscreen wallpaper but NOT choosing to set that as homescreen when it asks you (just do that separately with the same image). I tried that at first and it didn't work, but I rebooted my Axon 7 and tried again and then it DID work. Hope that voodoo continues to work, but thought I'd pass it along here to see if it helps anyone else as well.
After so much time with the phone, it worked. I'm shocked tbh.
Before it was the default one but in settings it showed the one I chose. I just re-did it and it worked. Woohoo!
For anyone having this issue: Try rebooting.

How to change lockscreen wallpaper on kindke fire HD 10(gen 7)?

So after I removed the special offers on the lockscreen, it shows some (around 5 I guess?) stock wallpaper on the lockscreen routinely. I know the wallpaper can be changed in display > wallpaper, but I can't find the place to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Is there a walk-around to achieve it?
I've got the 6th gen HD 8, but in mine, I browse photos using the Prime Photos app. When I see one I want to use, tap it so it displays full-screen size, then tap the 3 dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the pic. One of the choices is Wallpaper. On my 8 HD, choosing and confirming this will set it as both the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper.

Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it. I was looking for the content related to "lockscreen wallpaper" and I didn't know that home screen wallpaper & lock screen wallpaper are changed at the same time.
Also, I can confirm that using your method and going to display > wallpaper have the same result.
There is a video which shows you how to do this

Totally unnecessary. Dragonfire1024 has demonstrated the way to change internal lockscreen wallpaper in his thread. As far as I know, that's the only way to customize the lockscreen wallpaper in a rotational way without using Amazon's app.
So...
What am i missing here? I've just changed my wallpaper, but my lock screen is still blissfully rotating pics from the folder of stock images that came pre-installed
EDIT found the answer in another thread. I mistakenly used Google Pics to change my wallpaper, not the control panel setting, which doesn't change the lockscreen.
On the other hand, this is a good work around to have different lock screen\wallpaper images.?

Sorry, but this was a year ago and I have no idea where I found it. Like I said in my comment though, my solution was to use the control panel. Also, did you pay to bypass the "sponsored" tablet? If not, you will always see the ads and never have control of your lock screen.
Other than that, I really can't offer much help. To be honest, I barely notice what my screen looks like these days. I use my Fire so infrequently I just open it, use it, and shut it off. So I don't know if the interface has changed.
Wish I could be of more help.
Disable the unwanted lock screen. Can you use Kustom Lock Screen Creator from Google Play Store

A couple questions

So far I've been very happy with the S10+, but have a very annoyances I can't figure out.
1. I have the gallery app disabled, as I prefer Google photos. In the camera app, if I select the most recent picture, it says "no apps can perform this action". Anyone know how to get this to map to photos?
2. I like my theme to always be dark, so I have night mode enabled and customized to my liking, but I can't get good control over the navbar. In a lot of dark/black apps, I end up with a white navbar. I've tried numerous apps to make the navbar black all the time, but then the button icons aren't visible in the apps where One UI wants a white navbar because it makes the icons black. Anyone have a solution?
Any input would be appreciated.
1: go to default apps and clear defaults for the gallery, set Google photos as default gallery app
2: download good lock to change the quickpanel, a short guide to make the quickpanel black is in my battery guide.
Maybe to set it black try the "Navbar Apps" from appstore

1: I cleared gallery defaults, and opened a pictured from a file explorer to set photos as default, but still within the built in Samsung app, it won't open in photos.
2. I already made my quickpanel black, it's the navbar I'm trying to recolor while keeping the menu, home, and back buttons white.

This is one of the apps I've been trying and it works well except that the menu, home, and back buttons turn black in some apps, and thus are black on black.
Thanks for the help both of you
