Hey guys when I first got the phone it waS fine but now that I try to have the photos live tile shuffle between my different albums it won't do it. Is there a reason why or do I need to have some pics on my phone and not on SkyDrive. Thanks

Have you tried taking a screenshot by depressing power + start key as this creates a fresh album upon device "screenshots" and see if this shows up?

When you say 'it was fine' do you mean your live tile did shuffle through photos?

If I post the 'Photo' app to the start screen it doesn't cycle between photos. However if I set the Photo app to 'shuffle' background the the tile will cycle but only for 4-5 pictures. This setting though doesn't appear to have an impact if I pin a particular album to the start screen.

hmm. it seemed to show some of the pictures that were uploaded to my skydrive for sharing on twitter. but now I have so many pictures that I never see those.

also, what size is your tile. it will only show pictures in the large and medium squares, not the small one.

It tends to work better with photos on the device, probably due to WiFi/GPRS availability

if you add the pictures you want to favorites it will use them for the live tile

I'm having the same problem. I think you're right, I think it might have something to do with saving all the photos to the cloud. My favorites tile used to shuffle my favorites and I can no longer get it to shuffle and it coincides with about the same time I started saving to the cloud.
