View 1 Replies View RelatedI have my incredible set to use the live wallpaper "water". When I turn the phone off to charge at the end of the day, upon restart it defaults to the htc colors wallpaper.Is there something I'm doing wrong, is there a setting I'missed to retain the "water" live wallpaper after restart, or is this just normal behavior?
View 10 Replies View RelatedFirst off, I purposely killed my battery. I bought the phone and that night (June 5th) I charged it to 100%. I have since let it dwindle with periodic use and only marginal charging from when I copy files to the SD card via USB.
So it finally dwindled down to 20% today and I decided to kill it. I busted out android-wifi-tether and played YouTube and refreshed web pages from my iPhone on its wifi hotspot, and in no time got it down to 5%. I kept playing with it and finally it died. w00t! Mission accomplished!
So I plugged it in and began charging it. I waited about 10 mins and then powered it on. It booted up and immediately I noticed the carbon wallpaper. No more live wallpaper. I set live wallpaper and it works but I wonder why it showed me what looks like a carbon wallpaper (a bunch of gray pixels tiled all over). I wonder if Android disabled live wallpapers in a fleeting attempt to conserve battery. Any ideas?
BTW, I'm still VERY pleased with the battery and in about 45 minutes of USB (not wall) charging and idling it's already up to 20%! That's pretty quick! More info: Another 50 mins another 20% charge. So I think it charges ~20% every ~60 mins it seems. So I guess 10% every 30 mins or so.
I found this Live wallpaper on the market called "Aquarium Free" and so far everytime I turn my EVo on to show someone this is the first thing that they notice and say wow thats cool. This is a live wallpaper so battery life could be affected but I have had no problems. I just could not help but share this as it is pretty cool watching fish swimming around in the background while using your Evo.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTurned off live wallpaper and battery lasts twice as long period. I still have Beautiful Home Weather but the live background is now off and I can get through two days on one charge. I know this is not rocket science but question yourself if you need a live wallpaper or better, much better, battery life.
View 10 Replies View RelatedA few days ago I updated to 2.1 . And the phone works great. Now the thing is that yesterday I noticed the battery was draining a little bit faster than usual, I had been using the Particle Storm Live Wallpaper, so I thought that was the reason. What was my surprise when I changed to an static wallpaper and noticed the battery kept going down really fast. I checked the battery usage and it said that Wifi was draining 33%, Screen 20 something and the live wallpaper only 3 %. Is it normal for Wifi to drain so much battery? Does it depend on the use or what? Shouldn't 3g drain more battery than Wifi?

I'm looking for a good LWP were i can set my own custom looping video as the wallpaper.
I've been looking everywere but can only fine 1 app, [URL] ..... That one.
It's doing just what i want, i can select a folder and the folder is playing in my background. Only there is one problem.
The app converts the video to a lower quality and then it shows really bad banding. The banding is not present when i play the same video in the media player on my phone. (HTC Desire HD)
These are actual screenshots:
Looks worse when animated and because it is uploaded it is compressed again and removes the banding a bit. But believe me, it looks BAD
Adding grain to the video solves it a bit but it is still not the standard video quality.
Any other good quality app that does not compress the video? My device can easily handle a video in native resolution :P
I wanna update the live wallpaper to have better device support and android 3.0+ support. Maybe have options to disable graphics as well? It was once an awesome live wallpaper? Would this project be a good idea or a waste of time?
