How to change wallpaper on your Android Device

So you just got a brand new shiny Android device and you are looking for a way to get rid of that boring default wallpaper? Well, look no further because we are here to help you get something that you want set on your device. Each device comes with a number of pre-installed static wallpapers, along with live wallpapers which users can select. Fortunately, you are not stuck with these, and you can install just about anything you want, so if you are looking for something different hop in the Android Market and download one of the many wallpaper apps available, and browse for one you like. Once you find and save a wallpaper that you want to your device, you have two different options of how to set it, so let's take a look at those. 

1. From your home screen press menu   , then select wallpapers or from your app drawer select your gallery icon
2. Navigate your gallery to find the picture you wish to set as the wallpaper and click on it
3. Use the box to select the portion of the wallpaper you want to use
4. In the lower left corner you will accept the size, then wait a second for it to set as wallpaper
5. Once you receive a confirmation that it has been set, hit the home button and view your wallpaper

If you happen to hit the home button before the device confirms that the wallpaper is set, it may not actually set it so you will have to go back and do it all again. Error on the side of caution and give it a few seconds to complete and set itself as the wallpaper.

T-Mobile G2x updated finally comes around, BUT not worth downloading yet.

Finally, after a long wait, we have the update that we waited for over a month. The T-Mobile G2x phones get the update through the LG website. BUT, there is a situation now, as Mike would say from Jersey Shore. After speaking with the LG representative over chat, we were told the update is available, but not something you want to download as of now. After investigating a bit more, we found out that the Android 2.3 is still having problems. A lot of customers called LG support team complaining about these issued aligned below:

-Phone is stuck on update screen.
-It automatically booted off and won't turn on.
-Stuck on the logo screen.

Now we're not sure how many more issues the update is bringing along as of now, but the LG representative clearly stated to wait a few days before downloading the update.

It's sad that after a long due wait, we face an update that is yet again, disappointing. Do we blame LG for this? Perhaps, but I think it is time for the company to make an official statement apologizing for lowering the image they want us to perceive of their company.
