Don’t like the new wallpapers?  Jealous of your friends with a 3G that don’t have to deal with this new feature?

I’ll give you two easy ways to fix this issue.

1) Click the above background from your iPhone 3GS or 4 to load the full size image. Tap and hold your finger on image and save to your camera roll. Go to your settings and select this new image as your wallpaper.

2) Open camera app. Push the lens of the camera against the palm of you hand. Take a picture. Go to wallpapers and select this new image as your background.

You’re welcome.

    Hey man! So I was looking for the default wallpaper and I thought I found it, but the image you provide is now just black… Wonder what happened!
    Think you could update it or just email it to me? This is just what I was looking for

    I was reffering to the default wallpaper pre iOS 4, which was no wallpaper…just black. What are you looking for now? Maybe I could help you out.

    Thank u so much. If Steve jobs had been alive, I don’t think this would have happened – no black screen. For more reasons than I care to tap out. Bless you.
