wow i just noticed something about the memory on my t610. i noticed that after taking a picture on a t610 and adding it as your wallpaper or screensaver, it said 'item in use' and if the picture was deleted than the wallpaper would disappear. well i was bored and decided to experiment with the wallpaper feature. if i took a new picture and then applied it as my wallpaper, and then went back to it and rotated the picture, then it wouldn't say 'item in use' anymore. i dont know if this is a glitch but when u delete the original picture, your wallpaper will still stay there and you'll also free up memory. maybe this is how theme wallpapers are stored. this also works for screensavers also. just rotate the picture after applying it and it stays there no matter what happens to the original picture.

(p.s) woohoo my first post at esato this forum rules

aargh what have i done!! ok this is weird. after changing my screensaver and wallpaper to random pictures and then deleting the images on my fone to test them, i soon got bored of my new wallpaper and screensaver and decided to get it back to normal. i went to settings, display and wallpaper. activate, no and scrensaver, activate, no. thinking that everything was normal i wanted to reaply my old themes wallpaper so i went through settings, themes, dragonstyles. it seemed really quick, too quick and to my surprise my screensaver was on the background of the main menu. not only that but it wasn't even my current screensaver but a one i had before the current one. everything else was the same but my screensaver that i had before now appeard on the main menu part of my phone, where the icons are. That is strange.
i then went back to settings and reactivated my scrensaver only to find a my newer screensaver still in the memory. can someone explain this strange phenominum or is it only my dodgy t610

(p.s) two for me

Ok this keeps on getting better and better. After restarting my phone and still finding my old screensaver in the background of the main menu, i decided to get my phone back once and for all. I removed the screensaver by making i new one and deleting it whilst it still had the 'item in use' thing on it. I then applied the classic theme hoping my troubles would be over. And after checking the main menu it seemed fine. Pleased with my efforts i pressed more noticed my screensaver in the background of the tab!
