It Couldn't have been designed this way......

There is a menu screen entitled "Homescreen Preferences" which is invoked by clicking the main menu twice and then options. This field is designed to set wallpaper and set the amount of rows for the homescreen layout. On my phone, it can be used only once! It works at re-boot...1 time and then forget about it. I have to remove the battery and go through the "war & peace" startup. Is this with all Storms or I am correct in assuming I have the world class Glitch phone? Why would they have a "change wallpaper" function that only shows up once in a blue moon? .75 OS or what? For the techneological minded out there..... I would appreciate some logic here and an explanation???? Thank you!

Thanks for the encouragement. Then perhaps it will start working by itself. It did execute properly for a week or so. I have had my browser and application list disappear for no apparent reason, also, and wallah! It reappeared just like that after a few hours. I think this phone was designed for masochists as a tease! 😈

Can you highlight any icon on the main menu (clock, camera, calender, etc.) and hit the blackberry button and get to options that way?

maybe not trying it from the homescreen might make a difference? Just a shot in the dark

Gave it a try. It's still "punishing me." On the positive side, it will cooperate after a battery crash and I can, of course place different wallpapers from the media field. The funny thing is that this task worked for about a week. It just might be a quirk that will work its way into operation by itself. Thanks for the post. I'll let you know if the miracle happens. Now if the camera would work like a camera on ANY other phone, that would be a revelation!
