Unable to Install Themes on My BlackBerry

Themes allow you to add a bit of personality to your phone.

Themes give you a way to customize your BlackBerry by assigning coordinating wallpaper, screensaver and other accessories. Technically, themes are third-party applications. This means they are created outside the original software package, but work with the phone's operating system. If you have problems, there are a few common errors associated with installing themes that may explain why.

Not every theme is compatible with every model BlackBerry phone. A theme that fails to install may not work on your phone. When you select a theme that fits your personal style, review the details and find out if it works on your phone. This is critical to a successful download and installation. If you try to force a theme not compatible with the operating system on your phone, it will not recognize the program.

Download

Themes come from many different websites, and not all of them are properly set up. There is always the possibility that the download problem is from the source, not your phone. Try downloading a theme directly from your service provider or BlackBerry. If that fails to load as well, then you may have issues with your phone. If a second theme works, then you can assume the problem is at the source of the download.

Active Theme

Once you download a theme to your phone, you may need to make it active. To do this, open the "Options" menu on your phone. Once you open Options, look for "Themes" or "Screen Display" to activate the theme. Highlight the downloaded theme on the list and hit the "Select" key. This will change the phone from your current theme to the new one.

Over-the-Air Programming

OTA is an acronym you might run across when searching for themes. OTA stands for over-the-air programming. This is a fancy way of saying you must view the theme and then download from your phone. You cannot download it to a computer and transfer over to the phone. With your BlackBerry, open the website that has the theme you want on the phone. Follow the instructions on the site to download the theme and install it.
