Attempted theme download with Verizon

[clubenow]

So I downloaded a free theme yesterday, Scenic from Elecite for my new Verizon 8230. Go the link, downloaded & saved it, rebooted and it's not available in my themes. I talked to Verizon technical support but they won't help you if you don't buy from them and I'm wondering if they blocked it. Anyone have success using a different theme with a Verizon phone? A quick "how to" would be greatly appreciated.

I had a hard tine finding the theme on my 8320 on Telus in Canada. it should show in the list as "scenic". I don't imagine Verizon would or could block the ability to load themes since they sell them.

I was able to download the Stock L Hidden Today theme for free and get it running successfully. The only difference was I sent the link from my computer to my phone as an email the first time (unsuccessfully) and then just used my web browser to get the theme the second time.

Make sure you downloaded the correct version for your model. I downloaded it and it worked fine. Does it appear in your installed apps list?

Yes it is in my apps but not in my themes? I think it may be a theme for an older OS cause I've been using 4.6

verizon flips run on 4.6.1 while the original Flip runs a 4.6.0. make sure when dl-ing themes thats its compatable for the 8230 OS4.6.1 otherwise it wont work properly or at all
