Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the weather animation when the phone is turned on? It's quite impressive first but then it just hinders the phone's usability and becomes annoying. (to me at least)
thanks
Simple: when you are choosing the main screen background, choose the "animated" tab, instead of the "weather" wallpaper tab and the picture you choose will not have the weather animation.
Simples as the meerkat would say

Nice tip man, thanks! I just assumed that you could only have animated wallpapers when you selected the animated option. Never tried to browse different albums and actually bother checking! lol

I've been bugged by this for a long time now. I would like to completely disable weather animation on the Home tab, but while keeping the original wallpaper, which is just plain black.
This is not possible as you have to choose between weather and animated wallpaper...even though animated wallpaper can be a static one. You then can choose a static wallpaper from your phone or memory card. Problem is, never can you choose the original wallpaper...you always have to choose a different wallpaper.
And when choosing f.i. an all black wallpaper, it will never come out on the Home tab as nice as the original black wallpaper...it's always grainy. This is very annoying, as the weather animation is useless imo and takes far too long to end....during which everything is slowed down considerably.
I'm still hoping to find a solution to this, but so far nothing....anyone?
How can I get rid of the floating clouds in the home page?
I've just upgraded from an iphone and am not yet convinced

I use Co0kie's Home Tab along with CHTEditor which gives an option of adding a link to toggle the home screen weather animation on and off. There are plenty of links / references to it on xda.
Floating clouds is just one of the animations to tell you the weather, you can switch to an animated wallpaper with its own animation. Go to setting then click Personalize at the top and select to change the home tab wallpaper. You can choose weather animated or just animated. There should be an option in there to have no animation at all.
Move to a sunny country ....
pointless but i couldn t resist
sorry about my own stupidity i'm getting old ....

So, I'm not very happy with the wallpaper options in this phone. I understand that, it's more of HTC Sense setting, but it doesn't let me choose home or lock screen. Plus, when I choose a picture from my gallery to use as a wallpaper, the weird crop square shows up and doesn't let me use the whole picture. What's up with that? Am I missing something? What do other people think?
The wall paper is ok but, I went to the market and downloaded city at night wallpaper and its a lot better for my tastes.

You should use 960x800 sized wallpapers. You can't select the whole picture because your iPhone wallpapers or whatever are the wrong aspect. There are some good downloadable wallpapers in the HTC Hub and there are a million wallpaper apps in the market.
Your wallpaper is scrolling as you swipe left and right to different screens, that's why it's square. I just use 1920X1080 wallpapers and they look fine.
Sense 3.0 is great and all, but every time I unlock the screen, it tries to show some cheap little weather animation, is there a way to disable this? I have dug through some settings but to no avail.
Touch and keep holding the clock/weather widget
Drag it onto "Edit"
Select your city
Remove the checkmark on "Show full sceen animation"
An alternative would be deleting the mentioned widget.
Hopefully I was able to help you with my first post on xda-developers.com...

Cheap weather animation?? Do you know that almost all other android phones are dying to have the smoothness of that what you called cheap weather on the S4G... Anyways, im not sure I understand where you are seeing the weather animation but here are the possible solutions:
1) If you are trying to disable the weather lockscreen, then just choose another lockscreen. (Personality > Lockscreen > Choose anything other than weather)
2) If you are trying to disable the live weather wallpaper, then just choose another wallpaper that isnt weather (personalize > Wallpaper > HTC wallpapers for example)
3) If you are trying to disable the weather animation caused by the flip clock, then from within your home screen, tap and hold the clock and drag it down to Edit. Select current location (if desired) then uncheck (Show Full screen animation)
Good luck to you...

This did the trick, thanks very much!
Thanks. I wouldn't call it cheap but it is annoying for sure. Nice to show off but gets old quick.

Am I the only one who wants to turn off the screen scrolling and go back to the wallpaper that moves?
The scrolling wheel is annoying as hell and pretty dam pointless. HTC must have thought this one through really hard.....

You can select the "Streak" Live Wallpaper & you'll get the "Moving" Wallpaper effect in addition to the "Live" part.

Press personalize button (bottom right of home screen) then wallpaper then live wallpapers then streak. Or install a different launcher.
