Just got my Note back form the repair shop and now I cant set a Live Wallpaper as the background on the lock screen.
Its driving me crazy because I had one set before getting it repaired.
When I go to the wallpaper setting and select either 'Lock screen or Home and Lock screen' it wont let me select option the to set a live wallpaper.
Can anyone help me get around this problem?

You get the bubble effect when touching the lock screen only if you don't have any security on the lock screen. So if you use Finger Scanner, or Pattern or Pin etc on the lock screen, then the bubble effect is switched off.
Go test it out, try setting "Swipe" to unlock, bubble effect will return.
ok will try this option thankyou for the tip sir.
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?

Applying New Wallpapers
Follow these steps to set the wallpaper for the home screen and lock screen:
1. Touch the Home key > > Settings > All settings >Themes & wallpapers > Wallpapers.
2. Set the wallpaper for the home screen or the lock screen.
3. Touch Home screen wallpaper or Lock screen wallpaper and select a built-in static wallpaper, or touch Gallery to select a picture, crop it, and use it as the wallpaper.
4. While setting the lock screen wallpaper, touch ZTE Locker > Apply to use dynamically changing pictures for the lock screen.
5. Touch and hold an empty area of the home screen and select the Wallpapers tab. Select a built-in image, a live wallpaper, or an image from your gallery.
6. If you use ZTE Locker for the lock screen wallpaper, swipe up from the bottom of the lock screen and touch Lock screen settings to download new wallpapers, select a layout or choose wallpaper for today
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.
I never thought I'd like this ZTE feature with the constantly changing lock screen wallpapers, but they actually use some fantastic photos.
Twice I have found the process to properly find and download these wallpapers on my phone so they can be used as home screen wallpapers. Twice I've forgotten how to get there.
Anyone know what section/area this is in? It's not in the standard "themes and wallpapers" section of Settings.
I have no fingerprints set, use swipe to unlock. In this setup to download pics you like from dynamic lockscreen you have to swipe up gently this small indicator in the bottom on the screen and menu for dynamic lockscreen appears. Tap settings section on the right and go to headquarters of awesome photos

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
