Is any body else experiencing lag for their weather animation on the Home tab? I don't have this problem on my Weather tab, it looks great. Only when in my home tab, it looks like it runs smooth for half the time, then it gets really chopppy and slow.
I've already tried messing with my shortcuts, and removing my sd card, but those aren't the problems. I also have BSB Tweaks installed, and tried disabling the power saver option, but that didn't do anything either.
Mine does that as well sometimes, not always.
You could try disabling "V-Sync" on the device. Or instead of having the HTC Sense userinterface allocate resources "as needed", you could increase the minimum and maximum amount of resources it is always guaranteed to be utilizing at any given time.
Try searching the forums for those minor registry tweaks and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Just did a hard reset, that seemed to do the trick. Also using a 8GB class 6 SD card now, with not too much performance increase. May go back to the stock 16GB class 2 card for more storage.
check ur task manager.
you could be using up too much memory. if you have applications running in the background when the home screen weather animation is loading it could slow it down.
i noticed this with my touch pro 2 as well.
I have noticed the HD2 is lagging terrible when The wifi is trying to connect or the data connection changes. When the signal changes it even lags the device. I am not sure if this is a radio problem or what because all roms so far have this issue
Any updates on this issue?
I've discovered that when I hard reset my HD2, it turns out pretty nice. No lag at all, clouds and screenwipers really smooth =)
But then the breaking point, I install the cookie's tabs, it installs .net framework, immediately the weather animations start to lag..
I don't wanna uninstall the cookies tab (and .net) because I'm using pretty much every application from those quick links. the winter is coming, I wanna enable the weather animations, but I can't do it right now because it's too irritating and slowing the quick link screen changes. they become laggy too.
oops.. just came here with google search and didn't notice that its t-mobile thread. hope it's not a problem.
So far,
I've done every performance trick mention in these forums, but nothing has changed.
This thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629388
has specific tweaks supposed to increase the performance but no, nothing has changed. VSync is disabled, SENSE memory is increased, but still lagging in the weather application.
Should I just switch to a custom ROM? Makes me think that this'll not solve it since it was running just fine before .net 3.5 as I mentioned before.
Weather is annoying me now because it refuses to update. When I click "update now", the little arrow moves in a circle for a few minutes then nothing changes. It's been doing this since I had my stock 2.13 ROM...I did a Task 29, hard reset, formatted my class 6 SD card, and installed Spike's ROM and it still does the same damn thing...
If I disable phone altogether and turn on WiFi, it will update.
How can I just disable Weather altogether on my home screen without disabling Sense?
Oh yeah, and the stuttering does seem to be related to the data connection trying to sync after coming out of sleep...
You could try installing Cookies Home Tab and using the editor to turn off the animations all together. As far as I know you can't "uninstall" weather from the home tab, but you can turn the animations off and just make it a static image.

Slide to the weather tab tap menu/settings and uncheck update.
hi,
I just figure out the BSB tweaks make animation lag, (since Im new user to HD2) I notice it after installation yesterday, right know after uninstalling the bsb tweak, the cloud motion is not lag anymore....
im on duttylacreme
That annoyed the crap out of me also. When I flashed a new rom it smoothed out. I get stutters when I turn the screen on and it immediately does a check to update the weather, but every other time it's smooth. I'm on miri and dinik's anastasia one from the non tmous roms page. It also fixed any sms lag I had too, if you're experiencing that.
So there's no way to remove the weather app from the phone?

I suppose if you're using cookies home editor you could choose a different weather app to associate with the weather tab of sense and that would not update unless you chose it manually.
you do not need to install or tweak anything to turn the animation from the home screen off, simply select animated wallpaper and choose any wallpaper you want from your sd card or device just as if you were choosing a weather wallpaper
Hi everyone.
I've got this problem after upgrading to 2.2. The thing is that, when set to "current location" my weather widget doesn't give me the name of my town but just says "current location". The weather conditions are exactly the same as ones that I would get if I added my town manually, it just can't show the name.
I tried almost everything I could, removing and re-adding clock and weather widgets, turning off and on gps and/or wireless, clearing cache for widgets, soft resetting the phone, but nothing worked. When I remove the clock from the main screen and re-add it again it knows somehow where my "home" is, but it won't work for the weaher.
I tried some other widgets (beautiful widgets, animated weather...) and they could recognize my true location with no problems. Maps and Latitude apps both locate me very precisely. iGo does that too.
Everything worked well before the upgrade so I am thinking about reverting it to v2.1 somehow but I am afraid that I could do something wrong, plus I'm not sure if that'd solve anything.
I'd be very grateful to anyone who tries to help
I'm having problems with stock widgets - World Clock and the Weather widget, specifically. The location settings keep randomly resetting and sometimes the widgets disappear completely. My brightness settings also seem to reset after a reboot.
I've only had the phone a few days so it's still un-rooted stock EUR D802.
Any suggestions on what's causing these problems and how to fix it? Thanks.
Hi guys, been searching the forum but have not found a thread with similar issue.
I updated to Lollipop and i frequent the S Planner widget.
After some usage (few days) my widget goes missing. But when I hold my finger on that page long enough, it allows me to edit/move/remove my widget.
It only can be solved by removing and re-adding the widget. It will disappear again in a couple of days time.
clear cache before. factory reset before as well. didnt solve my prob.
please help
Mine doesn't. I have to manually update it even though I have the weather in home screen. This is stupid. It's there a way to update like hourly?

Yep
How?
How?
Think mine does as well.
There are times I'm not paying attention to the weather and the temperature # will change on the widget without me opening the app and manually refreshing.
Have seen it happen on at least 2 occasions that I can recall. Don't really use the weather app that much in the first place
My weather widget doesn't update. I've heard it might be a bizarre issue where it doesn't update in the EU region. Possibly a GDPR confirmation missed at one point. I didn't want to try this method for my reasons, but you could try setting your phone region to India, for instance, creating the widget and letting it detect your location. If that succeeds, you can revert to your region and the thing should then work, in theory. Let me know if you succeed.
I not working ,you can set up automatic update at night. Between 23 and 7!! Who need update when sleep.
I use Google widget At a glance and its working without any problem. Everyone have it in widget - Google
Only option I have is overnight crap. The weather is so unstable in this part of the world. I need to be able to update at least hourly, automatically of course.
Even if it does update during the night, at 6pm your widget will still be showing weather from 7am
I tried "simple weather & clock" by difer, which almost made it. I realized if you use 3rd party weather app, the time on notification bar stays on, in home screen. Which is annoying because I only want 1 big time shown on weather app that also allow me to access timer and alarm. Who needs 2 of same time shown on home screen? I rather have defect stock weather app, looks neater at least..
I also have the clock always in the status bar. Except for when a notification arrives, or right after unlocking it. It's connected to the default launcher and I'm using the Poco Launcher. I need my app drawer
If you don't want the clock in the status bar, you could use the MIUI clock only widget, and then just a separate widget for the forecast.
