Displaying Screen Savers

You can set up a screen saver to display the pictures stored on a USB flash drive. The screen saver will automatically start each time your phone is idle a certain amount of time. You can stop the screen saver at any time by tapping the touchscreen. If your phone is idle again for a specified period of time, the screen saver will start again.

User Tip: Using Your Phone as a Digital Picture Frame

If you wish, you can use the Picture Frame feature to set a single picture to display, or have all pictures display in slide-show style. This avoids the need for you to set up a screen saver that automatically starts each time your phone is idle a certain amount of time. For more information, see Using the Phone as a Picture Frame.

To set up a screen saver of your pictures, you need to set up certain screen saver settings, place your pictures on a USB flash drive, and attach the USB flash drive to the phone. The phone can only display the screen saver when the USB flash drive is attached to the phone.
