HTC EVO 4G :: Show Off EVO - Live Wallpaper Battery Afftected?
Jun 23, 2010
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.

Does using "Live Wallpaper" use battery life more than fixed wallpaper. If so is the drain anything significant?

First 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.

Just want to see how many use live wallpaper, and if so how long does your battery last using live wallpapers. And also heard that if you use live wallpapers etc for awhile it burns the image on the screen.

Turned 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.

A 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 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?

Can we use GL for live wallpapers? I have a sweet idea for one that won't hit the CPU / GPU too hard.

Android 2.1 has API support for creating live wallpapers. This means that we can implemente our own live wallpapers w00t!
However what i like to see is a Tutorial on creating such a live wallpaper. Is there going to be added one? What about battery live?
Or maybe a link to the sourcecode to one of the live wallpapers in Nexus One?
When i run a 2.1 emulator and choose a live wallpaper it says: "No live wallpapers"

It's rainy and windy here and my Google map background had dark clouds moving through the map and I did something and now it's these lame rain drops falling all over my background instead of the clouds. How do I switch this back?

I am wondering how to set a background in Live Wallpaper for Android. It seems the only options I have are to create it using a canvas which I don't want. I want to be able to set up a time lapse of a tree that goes through the seasons. I'm assuming I'll be able to set the coordinates for the leaves and then just have different times to fall, but is it possible to have them expand or even change colors?

Anyone know of a wallpaper changer for only Live Wallpapers? I know there are a bunch for "still wallpapers", but I plan on using only live ones. Is there a changer that can handle that? I don't seem to be able to find one in the normal places I seek out apps.

I currently have a live wallpaper and it will not change to a regular still wallpaper. All it does is change to the default colorful balloon like wallpaper.

Anyone figure out a fix for keeping live wallpaper running. I've tried changing the screen sleep to never and after I turn the screen off and then on again with the end button the live wallpaper is no longer running. I've had just about every wallpaper except the maps stop running on me.

I love live wallpaper, but the phone seems to run extremely faster without it. I am sure everyone knows this already but I wanted to share this with everybody. I still use live wallpaper but you can definitely tell the difference in speed.

I downloaded and installed all of the galaxy live wallpapers through the xda developers forums and they look amazing but they all cause a huge amount of lag especially when swiping through screens. Any thoughts as to why this might be happening and if so any solutions?
