Live-background does not work anymore

buzzdee · July 26, 2025, 7:30pm

I want to use the Breezy-Weather live-background for the lock and the start screen on my Fairphone 5. This does not work anymore since the upgrade to Android 15. If I configure that in the Breezy-Weather app the live-background is reset to the default Fairphone background after a short time. Also this just worked for the start screen (on Android 14) before the upgrade to Android 15. I can remember that the lock screen background worked on my FP5 on Android 13.

Bug Device-specific

### Steps to reproduce Set live background also for the lock screen. (Battery… optimization for the app is turned off.) ### Expected behavior Lock screen shows the live background for an unlimited time. ### Actual behavior After a short time the live background is replaced by the default Fairphone 5 background for the lock screen. ### Weather source used Open-Meteo ### Breezy Weather version 5.2.8_freenet ### Android version Android 14 ### Device Fairphone 5 ### Other details _No response_ ### Acknowledgements - [X] I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, **NOT** a duplicate or related to another open OR closed issue. - [X] I checked that my issue is not covered in the [Frequently Asked Questions](https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather/blob/main/HELP.md) document. - [X] I have updated the app to **[version 5.2.8 or later](https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather/releases/latest)** and I can reproduce the issue in this version. - [X] I wrote my request in English, and any screenshot I attached are also in English (language can be changed from Settings > Appearance), unless my issue only happens with a specific language. I can write in my native language under the English text, if necessary. - [X] I understand that this app is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, so I may not get a positive reply to my request, if any at all.

I also tested another live-background, but it was also killed after a short time.

How can I get the live-background to work.

I don’t have a solution for your exact question, but interestingly enough, since the upgrade to Android 15 my custom wallpaper keeps being replaced by the stock one, several times a day.
Not exactly the same issue, but also a matter of background being randomly kicked.

EDIT : probably relative to Since Android 15: Wallpaper automatically changes to default image

Thanks for link, but the solution from that topic does not solve this problem.

I have the same problem, and for me the solution from the other topic does not work either

now I had the wallpaper images OK (see other topic, using 2 different images for home and lock screen) I tested setting live wallpaper only for the lock screen. but that disappeared after restart (went back to my image) and after a few minutes the wallpaper went back to the default (blue with patterns)
