Bing Wallpaper on Lock Screen...Broken?

[andrelamont]

I was under the impression that selecting Bing as my lockscreen wallpaper would have rotating images. That doesn't seem to be working.


Is my expectation wrong or is the software not working as intended.

Which phone are you doing this with?

Doesn't work on my 8X either.

920.

even did a hard reboot 2x

It switches to the bing image of the day. It only switches once per day.

It switches to the bing image of the day. It only switches once per day.

This is my experience as well with using it on my desktop. I changed my lockscreen to Bing just now to see if it switches later today or tomorrow.

I hope it works Bing finds some pretty interesting pictures.

It switches on my 8X daily, but it seemed to take a couple of days before it started switching.

I don't think I get the picture of the day though. Today it's a weird shot of the moon.

doesn't work on my 920

Not working on my 920 either -- it's possible that it takes several days to switch but you'd think they would give you the image of the day.

lumia 810 - works great, different, beautiful image every day. i'm hooked and not sure why, something so simple

It works on my 920. I know that doesn't help, but wanted to make sure people knew it's not a phone specific problem. It does only change once a day. Which is ok...but when there is a dumb picture, you have it all the live-long day.

This. When you set it to Bing, it will be that days wallpaper. It will stay that way the next day, then change the following day. It runs one day behind the Bing wallpaper on the search button.

I don't think that's right. Mine was broken for some time, but MS has fixed it on the back end. If you set it to Bing, your lock screen will now be that day's Bing search wallpaper

Mine seems to be changing everyday (Lumia 920)

Mine is changing every day and is the same as the day's Bing Search wallpaper.

They may have done a backend update then. It had been changing, just a day behind for me.

 

[Anthony Meluso]

It just started working for me too but it is also a day behind. Oh well, at least it's working now.

Try switching it away from Bing then back to it. Should sync up after

Mine does not work at all. I have tried just a photo, Facebook, Bing, but all it appears with the lock screen is a blank white (or black) page. Anyone familiar with this issue?

Not working on my 920 and also not working on my 1020. Why does msft keep having stupid simple bugs like this?
