Bitmaps (and their states) get reused a lot, and I've found it's easy to lose the tileMode if a BitmapDrawable is used in more than one place. The following code fixes the problem for me:

 public static void fixBackgroundRepeat(View view) {
      Drawable bg = view.getBackground();
      if(bg != null) {
           if(bg instanceof BitmapDrawable) {
                BitmapDrawable bmp = (BitmapDrawable) bg;
                bmp.mutate(); // make sure that we aren't sharing state anymore
                bmp.setTileModeXY(TileMode.REPEAT, TileMode.REPEAT);
           }
      }
 }
