@K700i User

I don't think a firmware update will fix it since only changed files are being replaced during the update procedure. That animition is most likely the same in newer firmwares. I'd say you will have to get the phone reflashed if you want it fixed (unless master reset fixes it). I'm pretty confident on this one, sorry!

Reflashed is not the same as updated. It can only be done at a service center (some, not all though). I'd say that something has gone wrong with your firmware...

As CyberVisitor has said and according to my identical experience, non of the below would delete the Sony Ericsson.gif or the one with an extended filename such as Sony Ericsson_(1)_(1)_(2).gif:

1. Deleting the file by pressing C button.
2. Deleting the file by any file manager run on PC.
3. Running an update using SEUS.
4. Running an recovery using SEUS.
5. Master Reset -> Reset All.
6. The 13 sec. trick.
7. Transferring a file with the same name to the phone and deleting it.
8. Master Rest -> Reset All -> Immediately followed by filling up ALL the phone memory by some self-created txt files -> Deleting the gif file.

Reflashing your phone at an SE service center seems to be the best way to solve this problem. Some have reported they've fixed this issue using TotalServer or DaVinci, but this is NOT recommended as it might exacerbate the problem and void your warranty.

Thanks for the help guys. Guess I'll have to try and find a service center that'll do it for me.

Super Tennis was apparently built into my firmware. So when I did a master reset it stayed on the phone.

@davo_169:

But be aware that Super Real Tennis will be the only game that survives Master Reset -> Reset All; all other ones will vanish. Just for your info., several pictures, several ringtones, theme Waip, and some other misc. also survive a Reset All.
