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 guys~
There is a way to use Zooper on my galaxy s7 edge lock screen? It would be a cool feature.
Think about, a nice and clean wallpaper adding only Zooper widget with fingerprint unlock functionality and the two icons in the bottom. Priceless
Thank you, Sorry for my poor english

I am interested in this too...
I picked up my replacement Note 7 yesterday and set it all up last night. Downloaded all my apps and set my home screen up. I use Google Now Launcher, and always have had the Weather & Clock Widget on my front screen. This worked just fine last night, and this morning after the update the widget disappeared. When I went into the widgets section, the only thing there now is just "Weather" which is a huge 5x2 widget that looks ridiculous IMO. The 5x1 Clock was so much better, and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this when they did the OTA update this morning.
I know that this used to be common to have these widgets disappear when you download a new launcher, but the Note 5, S7 Edge, and Note 7 all worked just fine with this setup. I may have to go back to touch wiz and just put the google now widget on a screen to the left of home, but I'd love to be able to keep the now launcher.
Thank you!

I got the same issue. Hope there is a fix as I prefer the 5x1
I may go back to touchwiz for a while until/if it comes back to now launcher. The one weather widget that is available is oversized and just an eyesore.
Never mind, thought you were referring to different widget..
G960u1 on the ARF4 update here, I can't get any Face widgets to show on either the lock screen or aod. I'd specifically like the Next Alarm to show, and I have both the Google clock and the Samsung clock alarms set. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions? Thanks
hi same there with SM-N960F
Hi folks, so I really really like the dynamic weather widget on the S22 Ultra and I was able to download the APK file for it on to my Pixel 6 Pro. The widget was available to use on my home screen but once it was set the app just froze.
Does anyone know of an app that works / looks the same as the dynamic weather widget OR knows of a modded APK file that would work on the P6Pro? Surely one of you amazing people will be able to crack it
