hi all;
My problem is that sometimes when � try to change my theme from menu/themes section, i click on it but then phone goes back to the menu? This problem cpntinues until I erase the theme that is currently being used. after that I can use the theme section but after time the same problem happens again?? Does anyone had this problem too??

HI!...

I'd never happend such a thing like yours...

but!, only to get clean... you can clean the Themes directory,
as many as themes you are installed on MMC or phone mem card for example, generate a folder with a key code (2sed4es33f4gd4e things like that), even if you uninstall a theme, that folder still on your MMC or phone mem... whereever you installed the theme..

so.. go to: E or C:\SYSTEM\SKINS\ .. there you will see a lot of folder codes 2h4ha78g3h etc.. entering to each one, you can see that some folder has a .MBM file with the name of the theme that you have on your theme list... but other folders codes on that skin directory, don't have any .MBM file.. just one .dat or something...

so.. DELETE all the jey codes folders that not have any .mbm in there ... all that forlders with key codes are themes that are NOT on the phone anymore, themes that you deleted or uninstalled.. so you don't need all that trash on your system 😊 ... and just may be that cause some troubles with other themes and all the apps installed too...

test and you will see...

cya!

Thanks AEfox I have checked my MMC in where i put my themes e:System/Skinz there are some folders but all of themn have a .mbm file 😊

i have the same problem too. It seems (but i'm not sure) that the problem occurs more frequently with some themes than others.

I have this problem as well.. any solutions? i'm thinking of sending the phone back for warranty!
