Can't change wall paper in 4.0 on 3G

[eezing]

I have 4.0 up and running on my 3G, but can't seem to figure out how to change the wall paper as shown in the keynote. Anyone else experiencing this?

i read you can't do it on the 3G

Apparently the hardware doesn't support it. Thanks, Apple.

Hahaha, doesn't support a different background image? Wow, that's a bit of a reach, don't ya think Apple?

What do you expect? They told everyone that the first generation iPhone's radios don't support MMS.

From what I understand, you can't do it from the photos app, you have to go into wallpaper in the settings.

If it can't do it on the 3G that would truly suck. I mean come on, its a picture...

I bet iAd will work perfectly on the 3G...

I hope they seriously don't not hold out on us 3G users with wallpapers...

i had to set the pic a few times to make it work

Are you saying you got custom wallpaper to work on the 3G?

This seriously made me laugh out loud because it's so true.

Hopefully it's a glitch/bug as I was told in another thread.

It seems some 3G owners have changes their homescreen backgrounds with no problems.

It's not available on the 3G because they think it will slow down the device too much.

In a way, that is so true, but it's not true.

 

[iphonegeek786]

Are you serious!!!! Thats kind of stretching it. Has anyone got the background wallpaper to work. Maybe you can e-mail Apple about it.

How much does adding a wallpaper slow down your computer? Oh right, it doesn't.

I couldn't change my 3GS's wallpaper in Photos, so I had to go to Settings to do it. Maybe that may help?

 

[WeegieMac]

Hopefully someone who has got wallpapers applied on the 3G via settings will post to let us know.

Some are saying it's a bug, so fingers crossed.

Yup. Same here.

 

[michaelfields]

do you think if I restore 4.0 again it might work?

 

[JJGatti02]

you can change your wallpaper just not from the photo app currently. you have to go to settings > photos and do it in there

So basically people are trying to change the wallpaper on 3G, but doing it from the wrong area of the phone, which is why it's not working?

If you go to Settings and change it from there, it works?

Hopefully someone posts screens of their 3G with a custom homescreen background on 4.0.
