I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 with Droid OS. I received a picture via message today and I would like to know how I can save that picture as a background. I've tried my own searching for the answer but the only hits I get are for doing the exact opposite, putting a saved pic into a msg, and that's not what I'm trying to do.

Your help is appreciated.
 
Hit all apps button on bottom right (box w/ upwards facing arrow in circle), open 'Gallery" app, open folder you saved it to, open image, tap screen and tap icon that is a circle in a downwards pointing triangle. Choose "Set as" from menu, choose wallpaper.

Your UI may have differently than described icons.

I haven't saved the img....how do I do that?

When I go to the msg, I try to tap & hold the pic, but no menu comes up. I thought there would have been.

Edit:
Ahh I can't have the pic showing by itself, I have to tap&hold the pic from the conversation screen.

Save the image from the text. This can usually be done by pressing and holding down on the picture or by pressing the menu button on the phone when you have the image up in your Messages app.

Once you've saved the image, go back to your home screen. Press the Menu button, and I think there will be an option to "Set wallpaper". Choose "Home Screen", and then browse to the picture you saved under "Gallery".

Go to txt message, don't tap it but tap and hold until menu pops up. Then select save picture.
 
Thanks...also set ex-wife's phone pic as a plunger, because she likes bringing up old ****.
