Hi Guys,
Just started using Sense 4.0. Stupid question... much like the previous versions of Sense, the weather animations (wipers when raining, clouds across the screen, and etc...) that used to show up on the screen when the phone was unlocked; has Sense 4 gotten rid of these animations?
I mean, I see the weather animations in the clock/weather app, the Weather lock screen, but not the animations that used to show up on the home screen, after the phone was unlocked... Is that gone in Sense 4? Can someone confirm? Thank you.
The full screen animations are selected when you add a weather widget, such as the default clock. Just remove the clock, and add it again, it'll give you the option
No it hasn't gone from sense 4.0, you just need to remove the clock widget and then add it to the home screen again and it will give you the option to enable full screen weather animations. Hope this helps.
Edit: looks like edge3uk just beat me to it.
Hi
Yes you can get weather animations, you have a couple of choices:
On the Lock Screen
Go to Settings - Personalise - Lock Screen and select Weather. Now whenever you turn your phone on you get a weather animation for your location.
As a wallpaper
Go to Settings - Personalise - Wallpaper - Live Wallpapers and select the Weather
Note that these options, especially the live Wallpaper will be using a little bit more battery power then viewing a static wallpaper image, of course that only impacts you if the phone spents a lot of time on with the wallpaper on show.
Another option, generally more accurate, in real 3D, is to look out of a window or go outside Yes I too have animated weather, it just looks cool lol.
Edit: and another way is to use the widget as already posted, so that makes 3 so far.
Regards
Phil
It is off by default. Just long press the clock&weather widget and push it to edit, click your current location, and tick show full screen animation.
Guys,
thank you for ALL your wonderful replies! Indeed, the animations work for me now, BUT, I cannot figure out what "triggers" them on the home screen... they just happened randomly, I can't deliberately kick em off...
For example in earlier Sense versions, the way to kick it off was, EVERY time you unlocked the phone, and the home screen had the Weather clock, the animations would go....
That doesn't happen in Sense 4, can someone confirm this or tell me what I am missing?
Thanks again!
well for me they only appear after unlock.

Hi all
I got a qeustion about the weather animation on the home tab.
Sometimes it displays the full weather animations over the full homescreen like clouds all over the screen , or the nice screen wiper or rain drops all over the screen
That's normal on the weather tab but I sometimes have it on the homescreen...
Does any one know how I can disable the full effects on the homescreen?
I have win 6.5.1 and manila 2.5 19202525
Opss Double Post im sorry
Hello dude this is not a problem or bug this is how its made to be!
Im using NRG rom with Manila 2.1 Sense and is the same sometimes i have full animation on the home...
Honestly sometime i hate it when i have drops rain all over the home screen.
I think its not posible we to remove this maybe you need to flash a new ROM without Weather on Home screen
If anyone can tell us how we can just remove the animation will be perfect

You can select another wallpaper, full weather effects on the homescreen its auto off

This is not true
We talk here not about animation of the wallpaper we speak about animation of the weather in the home screen, so no matter what kind of wallpaper you use always in the home screen you have animation of the weather, depends what is the weather in your area.

Already tried that but that doesnt work the animations still show up
Any one got an idea ?
Simple solution found:
On home screen press menu -> background for homescreen -> animated background -> select a none animated wallpaper
Also did the same for the background for weather
Made the weather animations go away for now I guess

HTC HD MIRI V 13.0 No weather wallpapaer animation at all even demo is their nay suggestions?
I also dont have animated homescreen on miri V13... how to enable???
there's a duttys cab to enable / disable my location from weather tab, it works well for me, you may try it, check on forums (duttysdisablemylocation.cab)
to disable: choose a non-hd wallpaper as previously mentioned ... simply go to settings tf3d tab -> Wallpaper -> Choose any wallpaper (and say no to Default wallpaper, which is the black screen with light).
to enable: use an hd wallpaper (use a HDWallpaper cab).

Got that to work, but how can you make HDWallpaper from regular JPGs and get that animation?
Also, why does the animation work when ever? There appears to be no rhime or reason when the anitmation kicks off.
From the home screen go to settings, weather wallpaper to get the animated weather. To turn it off go to setting, animated wallpaper, and pick a photo. Its not totally random. It shows when you leave the home screen and come back from another screen.
I am using Miri's V29, and everytime i open the tast mngr, or just randomly, the weather animation on the home screen refreshes, and slows down the whole phone.. I want to disable it.
I've read around about changing a registry key:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation set to "0"
i've done that, and removed all weather locations but still i get a current location animation in the home screen.
anyone have an idea of what else i can try?
Change the wallpaper of the home screen and there will be no weather animation anymore
LOVELY! haha thanks!! now i can get the weather info, and no animation!

The small home screen weather, right beneath the clock, animates. When you open the home screen the weather animates for a short time.
I dont mean the animated background on the home screen which covers the whole screen. I really mean the tiny weather thingy.
I want that to stop. Anyone has any idea how to stop this? I've got the latest 2.5 23xxx Energy Cookie Rom

Well that small animation should only happen when you go back to the home tab or when the clock itself is reloading..... like after you flip the cookietab back down or something.
It doesnt slow down your phone at all and that animation takes a whole, what, 3 seconds? I would just use a rom that doesnt include that weather panel under the clock. The weather may look a bit funny just sort of popping back and forth between your my location weather forcasts as it changes.
I think that weather animation its pretty much standard even on 2.1 roms now.

Its annoying. The weather is fine, but the animation is bugging me ... but oke.
You can remove it but then you won't have any weather there at all. At least to my knowledge.
Does anyone know how to turn off the animations for SkyRaider 3.5?
Every time I unlock my phone, the clouds come swooping by etc. etc.. And then the clock does a little weird animation too that's kind of annoying.
I went to Menu>Settings>Display and I turned off all Animation. Still no luck.
Any ideas? - I've searched the forums and all these threads have just died, is it true no one knows how to fix this?
Remove and add the clock widget. When you add it, there should be an option for weather animations. Uncheck that box and you're good to go. The clock, however, has the flip animation built-in so that one won't turn off

Hmm.. I think that fixed it, when I added the fancy widget it was a different layout then what I had there before.. so I think this skin doesn't have any animations.
Do you know how to download a bunch of fancy widget skins? I've searched but havent really come across any easy methods.
So the new sense 3.0 live weather wallpaper is niiiice.. really like it however the animated part seems to only happen in widget locker(if using) and not on the actual page. But this isnt much concern, my issue is that the sound effect happens in the lock screen when i use an alternative wallpaper. So my question is is there anyway to edit that live wallpaper to remove all sounds?

When selecting the live wallpaper, choose preview and there you will have a settings option. From there you can disable sounds.
My problem with the live wallpaper is different... After running for quite some time it just freezes until I lock and unlock my screen again...
any ideas?
i installed the sense 3.0 weather but my weather did not change ! (i could have the lock weather widget).
when i apply the default live wallpaper which is that girl with sunglasses the screen goes black ! the pattern lock screen is black also.
i just mounted revolution 2.3.3 latest rom.

Scrap that, apparently there are no sounds for night so i couldnt tell if it worked or not, but its the sound is still on. anyone help??
I'm having the same problem with the sound. I'd unchecked the box for sound effects, both in the clock/weather widget as well as the live wallpaper but there's still weather sounds.
I've linked it to the weather live wallpaper however. When I choose a different wallpaper, the sounds do not come up anymore.
Is there another way to disable the sound in this live wallpaper?
Hi, I have the same problem. I've unchecked the sound effect in weather app and also before applying a new live wallpaper (weather) ... but the sound in still on, when I unlock the screen... anyone knows what's going on?
I have HTC Desire with RCMix S v 2.0.1 ROM ... tnx for any replay...
Still no solution? This is so anoying

I had this while trying "RCMix3D KINGDOM v2.0 Evolutionary Sense!". But considering that and the fact that it wasn't very "live" after a cycle of the animation i picked another wallpaper (a normal one). However! After having installed Virtuous Unity 1.29 i tried the live weather wallpaper out. It's still not very "live" after a cycle of the animation, but at least unchecking the sound checkbox makes it be quiet.

It is only meant to do one 'cycle' that is normal. My HTC Flyer is the same. it must be a battery saving thing.
