Unhappy Question Regarding WallPaper
Hey Guys,

I have a weird thing happening to my phone and I just need to know if this is a limitation to 9780 or is something wrong with the phone I am using. Everytime I change the wallpaper on my BB and restart the phone, my phone wallpaper goes back to default and not to the personalized one I had kept before restarting.

Is this happening to anyone else guys? I am using .600 OS platform.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Never happened on my 9780 right thru .2xx to now .650 of the OS 6 incl .600 you are currently on. Are you sure you've "saved" the wallpaper you'd selected ?

When you select your wallpaper picture, press menu and select "set as wallpaper".
Next, go to options -- > home screen preferences and do you see the wallpaper you chose on the screen there under wallpaper settings ? If you do, you selected and saved it ok. If not, you didn't.

Yes I did man....its saved in my pictures gallery on my media card. I simple select the wallpaper I wish to use and click on BB options and say set as wallpaper. I reboot and boom....the wallpaper goes back to default.

Trust me it's irritating and I wanna know why is this happening. Anyone else has any thots!

I did that and funny thing here: It will NOT remember the wallpaper after a battery pull still.

I was reading the new OS thread and some people have spoken about this there too? Any clues anyone got?

Try saving the image on the device memory instead of on the memory card. Then reset the wallpaper from the device file, and try a reboot. I'm wondering if there's an issue with the trying to access the file on the memory card. If it takes too long to read the card it might just give up and load a stock picture off of the device.

Hey Seaners,

Thanks for your reply. I tried that but in vain. I am not sure as to what's going on. I checked with fellow bold 3 users and they are not facing this issue.

Wonder what could be causing it? I even installed the new OS but in vain again.

Can anyone think of anything else?

Cheers,
Amish

Just a wild thought:
Is the picture saved as a "name of picture.jpg" file. If it's a jpeg or JPG it might not work properly.

This only happened on my Bold 9000 when it was running OS4.6, On OS5 it never happened.

Are you using a 3rd party theme? Could be related to that.
