Help, can't download pictures?

Postby Woody » February 2nd, 2011, 3:07 pm

Hi all, trying to download some wallpapers and it just keeps saying it's failed and that the content is not supported. The thing is the wallpapers are the ones with the little Android guy on so I don't see why they would be in a format Android doesn't recognise. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Woody.

Have you tried a download manager? I've also read that Astro has the option to force downloads.

Hi Woody, the image on the erm image is irrespective of the format of the images... wallpapers for your scroll should be 800x480 and ideally .jpg format... throw any image you want onto your sdcard and use the gallery app when setting wallpaper to browse to your save image

I don't seem to be able to set wallpapers from the gallery either. Am I just dense or there something not going right?

on home screen, go to >settings > wallpapers

Then select the wallpaper you want to use.

Here is a temp fix for it :) after installing choose a folder (pref will 1 image in it) and then turn it off
this will set your image as the wallpaper, or it will roatate images in the folder if you leave it running
