how to Today your phone correctly?

[skitty4gzus]

before i hard reset my phone i was able to Today my phone and set a theme as a background, rock and republic, if that matters. Now everytime i go into Today my phone, select the theme, tell it to use the picture as background, then go into the items tab to select what to put on the today screen, it wont store my selections and change the today screen. Plus, everytime i shut the phone off and back on, it wipes all the choices i clicked and reverts it back to default. It wont change it at all, at anytime, not even for a few minutes? very strange, does anybody have any insight on this?
