Anyone else's live wallpaper pause or freeze when scrolling or just in general?
The Beam wallpaper doesn't even animate and the weather wallpaper just stops animation. The water wallpaper pauses when scrolling through home screens. It's rather annoying, especially since I love having an animated wallpaper. I am new to HTC Sense so please bare with me on my knowledge.
try another launcher and see if it has the same problem
Tried on Nova Launcher, same problem.
Wow, all these threads just kind of stop with no one having a resolution.
I guess it's not everyone who is having this problem, but if a fix has popped up since the last post from April, could someone chime in, thanks.

Hi guys
I'm a total 'droid n00b so please be gentle with me.
I know I have seen Android devices which kinda "spread" an oversized wallpaper across all the home screens so that scrolling through the home screens also scrolls across the wallpaper. I just tried to set an oversized wallpaper and it made me crop it to the screen res
Is this a feature which is only available on some phones, or is there a tweak you have to load first... or am I totally blowing it out of my arse and the whole thing is a figment of my imagination?

get rid of Sense by replacing it with ADW Launcher. It will allow you to crop a wallpaper correctly for your home screen and it runs WAY faster with a ton more features. I would also recommend getting the paid version of the app. You can get it from Market.
also.. after you get ADW and are running it... go into Accounts & Sync in your settings and disable all of the Sense stuff.
edit: thought i should also add this recommendation. if you like the sense widgets and hate to part with them. or the weather clock...etc. you can get an app from market called Beautiful Widgets. it runs way faster than sense and does the same stuff... again with more options.
Errr.... that's all very nice but how does it relate to my question?
It is sense that is causing the wallpaper to display as it is, change sense back to the android stock option by removing sense will then enable the wallpaper you wanted.

In response to your original question, most Android devices and versions do spread the wallpaper across all the home screens, including older versions of Sense. Sense 3.0 however uses vertical wallpapers that do not scroll, it is a new feature in this version. I imagine they did it because of the 3D rotation of the home screens and it would make stretched wallpapers look weird when swiping, but who knows.
It would be pretty complex to have each screen with its own section of the wallpaper seperate, spin, slow and expand, and finally rest at the ending homescreen.

Thanks Cyberstorm98 - I shall lobby HTC and see if they'll make it an option when anims are off.
Mine stops after a few seconds ....for example if it's raining it will show rain animation the stops with rain drops on the screen ! Is this normal ?
Please someone check
Just try a different wallpaper. You don't even state which you have. Unless you mean the weather lock screen, that's normal.
No he means the weather LWP that comes with the HOX, which he clearly stated in his first post.
This happens to me as well after 10-15 seconds the no matter which weather animation is playing, it stops. The only way to get it going again, it to change the LWP and then back again the the weather LWP. But again it will stop. I really like this wallpaper, especially the thunderstorm portion...much better than any other out there for weather related LWP.
If anybody out knows a fix for this, we'd love to hear it, thanks.
Guys there's a better live weather wall paper in the play store. Just look up weather live wallpaper. It's the one from beautiful widgets. It's great imo.
Okay so I saw that there was a thread like this in the past but the issue was not addressed.
I want to know how I can set a no-scroll wallpaper on the Xperia J. I've tried a few apps ( such as picspeed or wallpaper wizardii) and they do the trick but it only last for like 10 minutes and then it's back to the same old scrolling wallpaper.
I've read that I might need to try other launchers but to be honest if I use another launcher like Nova, or the others, I won't have any free ram to use.
The reason I want to use a static non-scrolling wallpaper is because of the smoothness that it provides( the home screens scrolls so much better and the phone is easier to use-- buttery, if you will).
So does anyone know how I can set a wallpaper to be-and remain- static?
Thanks!
Same problem
Nobody is seeing this post

You can try installing serajr's gx home launcher and enable static wallpaper option in launcher's settings:laugh:
Hi! I have a Z3 with Muzei as a live wallpaper which updates images every day. I really like to have the current wallpapers in the lockscreen as well but I haven't found any option like that. Is there any way to deactivate the lockscreen so only the wallpaper could be seen or maybe replicate the same wallpaper configuration to the lockscreen?
Thank you!
Nobody
You can try the Facebook Home app. There is an option to use the same wallpaper as the one used in the home-screen
same here
Hi, I was searching the whole Web for the same thing.
I think with Muzei we will not be able to sync our start screen with our lock screen with Muzei, since that is a Live Wallpaper and those are not supported on lock screen.
I want to get the current BIng picture of the day on my screens -- automaticaly. Well, I think I have to live without this....
Soo...
First of all, I've tried applying a 1920x1080 wallpaper, a 4k wallpaper, and a 1440x2560 wallpaper. I've also looked on XDA and other websites and have NOT found a fix.
so, I'm using a 3rd party launcher (any has this issue) and whenever I apply a wallpaper, it zooms in the wallpaper and moves to the right. The only fix I've found so far is to have 3 pages and wallpaper scrolling on, but I want to have 1 page with wallpaper scrolling off.
Can anyone help me? My sister is also having this issue. I'm running OF1 (so is my sister) and don't think I have any OTAs. I'm also non-rooted.
