Hate to say it, but I experience the same thing. I know exactly what you are talking about regarding the "movement". Transitions? Although that is a great feature, it does not solve the magnification problem.
[HTC Sensation] pFo-Mac:
Sense 4.0 might allow you to use MultiPicture Live Wallper, though. It doesn't work with Sense 3.x, but perhaps with Sense 4.0? I know it's not exactly a solution to your issue, but it might be worth looking into.

This should be moved to the q&a section dude this is a development thread
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sorry man, I know this is annoying but it is obviously a bug in the HTC code and the devs can't fix it.

Why don't you simply surround your picture with a large black border and then it will get cropped off to the right size auto-magically?
[HTC Sensation] grafik2:
Does anyone know how to change the length of time between pictures changing? I want it set to hours not minutes!
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
On sense 3.6 I don't think you can but with sense 4.0 you get to choose between 3 options. Just click on the htc livewallpaper and preview it. From there, there is a settings button then you can take it from there.
[HTC Sensation] grafik2:
Thanks for the tip guys I'm trying to multi live app and it works nicely, I can change the timing to an hour (altho there are lots of times when the picture changes prematurely, but that it's ok with me) but I've noticed that my selected camera shots still zoom in, like the OPs, but my downloaded wallpaper images do not! They look perfect. Way
[HTC Sensation] grafik2:
Have you found a solution yet? Still happening with multi live wallpaper in 3.6
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
No. This can't be a hard fix at all...
[HTC Sensation] Mr-YC:
It is HTC Dev Team's fault, they did not build Sense 3.6 properly. AOSP ICS allows wallpaper scrolling, that is why Sense 3.6 got the same resolution as AOSP which is 18:16.

my advice is edit all your photo/picture using Adobe Photoshop by manipulating Canvas Size (under Image menu). **Canvas Extension Color : Black**

Here is quick guide to help you:

1) First, edit your photo to 9:16, using Rectangular Marquee Tool, Style: Fixed Ratio

2) Image menu > Canvas Size. change 'cm' to 'percent'. set '200' for Width

By doing these, your image will be in the middle of black 'space' and the processed image will be nicely fit into your screen

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

As for Sense 4.0, just resize/crop the image to 18:16 ratio then it will be very nice with the Pan & Zoom transition effects =)
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Hey, I want to thank you. This seems to be the only way to fix this issue. Although it is tedious, livewallpaper is something I must have. :)

Hallo

I need to send my Desire HD to HTC so they can repair it. Ive installed the stock rom and removed everything like root or s-off. Now i dont know which cid i have to set.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
My two Brothers just picked up the unlocked GSM Nexus off the Play/Market store last week. One has it running on pre-paid T-Mobile, the other on Straight Talk ATT, and their battery life is ****ing unbelievably better than what three of us get on the Verizon Nexus, and we are not using 4G/LTE at all.

Both my Brothers use their phone at work, no Wifi just the 3G signal, and they both text me this week telling me battery life %. Right now after 4+ hours unplugged they both around 85%-90%, not using it except sending several texts and reading websites. And after a work day unplugged for like 10 hours they both have like 70%-75% left.

Now myself, my Wife and buddy have the Verizon Nexus, my Wife barely uses her phone at all, and at lunch time will be at like 70% battery left, and after getting home still unplugged for 10+ hours she's at like 45%. Where my Brothers with same use would be at 70%.

My buddy has the same as my Wife's usage, no WiFi wither, not using phone much and his phone is at like 40% after 12 hours or so. Both of them have 4G/LTE off and GPS off, and no sync on.

I use my phone a lot for work sales calls, and I am in the red by like 4:00pm, I get maybe 7 - 9 hours of use on a busy workday.

My Brother on the GSM T-Mobile, said after 23 hours his phone was at 45% battery life, and that was him using it quite a bit, dozens and dozens of texts, lots of websurfing, tons of e-mails. Our Verizon Nexus would never get that kind of battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
It is known. What really matters though is screen on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
I agree screen time is crucial. But my Wife uses her Verizon Nexus very little at work and by time she comes home is at like 45% battery after about 12 hours or so. My Brother on GSM Nexus after 12 hours and using it a bit more would be at 70% battery.

That is a HUGE difference in battery life with very similar use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
do they work in the same building?

if your wife works in a place with not as good of a signal, i expect her battery to drain faster as the phone is trying to get more signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
I installed AOKP 5 on her phone last night. Her battery seems much better. Unplugged for 7 hours at 80% battery now. That is a major upgrade. But again she barely uses her phone at all during work, pretty much just sits there. Where my Brother with same use today is at 90%.

I am running CM9, unplugged for 6 hours at 35% battery, but I use my phone a lot during work. Have 2.5 hours screen time. Tons of texts...lots emails...several phone calls....web surfing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meets34:
With GSM you can expect around 3 hours screen time and tons of standby time.

The standby time is great, but the screen time is somewhat mediocre to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Some days my battery just gets ate and others (like today) I'm having good battery. Usually I'm finding that apps are open in the background even after I hit back to "close" them. So if I keep up on the "Recents" menu and swipe it all away, I see an improvement.

I'm waiting for the MIUI styled "X" that closes ALL recent apps in one strike. Every little bit helps. An older version of Gummy (x.8) I had insane battery life. From 8am-3pm I would still have like 75%. I'm running LiquidSmooth right now and at 3pm I am at 60%. This was with 40 emails and 2 20min calls. No texting today :(

But LiquidSmooth has more options and is much faster then Gummy, so IMO the small battery difference is a good trade off. Later Gummy versions seems to consume more battery while lacking in the features.

AOKP never ran well for me in either the performance or battery department. Seemed to be laggy AND battery lousy. However I haven't played with it in a few weeks.

I too keep 4G disabled but I also have WiFi on all day (I never turn it off). I also use "Bluetooth On Call" which enables my bluetooth while on a call, so I can use a wireless headset. It automatically disables bluetooth, but I'm sure it consumes more battery then a normal call.

I only have 40minutes of screen ON time too. Mostly quick checks of emails. A few turns of WordFued and DrawSomething. I do work in a dungeon with little/no signal, which I suspect eats it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
But it depends what you do in that screen time. If you do a lot of gaming and browsing with 3 hours it's great. If you just swipe through the home screen and send a couple text message with 6 hours of screen time, not so great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
A cool test would be to turn on airplane mode and play a movie. I'd be interested to see if it has something to do with programming vs hardware.

Then the same test with 3G.

Both really need to be setup similarly, same wallpaper, apps, etc, to really get a good measure of comparison
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
This isn't a news flash. Its been pretty well known.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Well, yes and no. Gaming does use more cpu and such than just flipping through your home screens so I see where your coming from and agree to an extent.. But also consider that display is almost always the biggest battery consumer in battery stats, regardless of what you are using it for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
If you switch the 4G off then it will be a different story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
If you really want to compare the battery on all those phones, at the end of the day have your wife, your buddy, your brothers, etc...send you a screen shot of their battery stats. There are so many reasons why your battery life can change, and unless you are following someone all day then you really won't know the full picture.

And yes I usually say screen on time is a better "quick" comparison of battery life. Someone who has a display timeout of 1 min compared to someone with 5 min will have significantly different battery results, even with similar usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
LTE is a *****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
CDMA radio technology is a bit worse on battery than GSM, I'm betting that's where most of the difference comes from (LTE excluded obviously). With my screen on constantly, I've gone over 5.5 hours of screen on time before on my VZW GNex with about 50% 3G/50% WIFI usage. Again though, that was almost constant screen on from 100% to 0% battery. I've also watched the entirety of LOTR: Return of the King Extended Cut (4:20 minute run time) with my phone while also having 2 or so hours of standby on one charge, but I was in airplane mode for the majority of the movie watching. The screen is absolutely the worst battery killer by leaps and bounds and that will hold true no matter the variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
True, it always is the biggest battery consumer as anything you do on the phone requires the screen to be on. But it also depends on what kind of users we are. If you use your phone mainly for calling and texting and emails, then 4+ hours of screen time with a total of 16 hours should be good and doable. But if you do a lot of gaming, browsing web, tasks that are heavy then 3hours+ on screen time with a total of 10-12 hours on the chart is pretty good I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
I agree with a previous poster, screen on time is all that matters. That's why I got an ugly humpbacked Trexcell 3800 battery. Now I get 5 1/2 hours of screen on time on my Verizon GNex. Great when compared to my old time of about 2 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
None of us on the Verizon Nexus have 4G on. We all leave LTE off.

So why is the GSM version getting substantially better battery life ? Seems to be at least a 25% difference, if not 1/3rd better battery life on the GSM Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
See my post above. CDMA radios are slightly worse on battery than GSM radios.

Like I said, I've seen 5.5 hours of screen on before once and 4+ many many times. I highly doubt the difference in battery between my VZW Nexus and a GSM Nexus under constant use from 100% charge would be more than +/-5% in either direction so the difference is somewhere in the standby times of the two devices ie. GSM vs. CDMA radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I've never gotten more than 2 hours on on screen time on my vzw nexus. And in not in a 4g area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I've been screaming this for months the GSM version gets way better battery than the Verizon one. Even using cdma only and no lte there is something weird going on that makes it get worse battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I have the 2000mAh official extended battery for the gsm GNex, I get around 6 hours of screen on time on auto brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digweed4me:
OP is very true. i got my galaxy nexus gsm from google play after 4.04 update i got 4 hour screen time .

after aokp m5 and franco lastest night kernl i got this:

This is on stock 1750mah battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I'm not sure that's true, cdma air interface is literally similar air interface to GSM 3g (wcdma). Wideband cdma on GSM is just over 5mHz chunks of spectrum. But both have the same penetration properties and rf propagation etc.

You're thinking of old GSM edge which yes is less power hungry by a mile. But cdma and wcdma are near the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac29593:
I have been living on the charger all day. I can't go more than a few hours without having to charge it.

I also have a Rezound which had the worst battery life I've seen until this phone, which I can't believe is worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ingenious247:
The problem with your assessment of the battery life for these devices is usage.

If I unplug my phone at six am, and only read my rss feed, check a few email, browse a few web pages, play two or three rounds of scramble with friends, send and receive a free texts, check XDA five times, I'll have 70%+ easy by lunch time (which for me is about 1:30). That's seven and a half hours with 70% left.

Now if i watch several YouTube videos or take several calls that last more than a few minutes, plus all of the other usage and maybe downloading a couple of 250MB files, then i can be in the red after five/six hours easy.

The point I'm making is your opening statement said your brothers were "not using it" except several texts and browsing a few websites, that's your answer right there.

Power use = charging a lot

Moderate use = charging once or twice a day at most

Minimal use = charging after 24+ hours

That's how it is with all smart phones phones, Android or not.

Plus you always have to factor in, how savvy is the user? Are they an app fanatic, and install every free app that farts or shows scantily clad women or has their favorite sound board? Or are they Android savvy, and root to freeze apps that constantly run and keep their screen on a lower brightness setting, while setting their screen timeout to 30 seconds and always darkening it immediately when they set down their phone?

The variance there can be between each user and usage is enormous, which is half the reason people call the carriers and ask for replacements or think their phone is performing poorly.

This leads to excess costs for the carriers and in turn, more strict return policies and higher fees/rates for the consumer which is the exact direction we're headed.

Sorry for the rant but we need to promote better education on XDA in these sort of threads - so that instead of creating a paranoid sense of "there's something wrong with my phone" we can create a better understanding of how our devices operate and how to fine tune them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I share your sentiment but if most people searched for prevention or a cure we would see a lot less symptoms. Galaxy nexus users have search bar on every home screen by default. And we also need realistic expectations. Some people consider themself a power user because they can send 1000 texts an hour. And then you have the guys that want a quad core with sgx543mp4 gpu and 4gigs of ram for their next phone but on top of that want better battery life in a slimmer profile with a 5" screen. And then will complain battery life sucks but their phone is the fastest in the world. At solitaire. :what:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatdub:
I couldnt of agreed any more. This is one of the reasons I sold my VZW Gnex to get a GSM Gnex. The VZW battery was horrid. Ive attached a screen shot of my GSM Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
might consider doing what I did. I sold my VZW Nexus paid my ETF and last bill. Then bought a GSM from google Play and I'm contract free on T-Mobile or Straght talk, whatever I feel like using for the month. It feels so good to be Free of carriers contracts.

I also can confirm the GSM has much better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Yah, GSM radios are far more efficient that CDMA radios. There's your superior battery life. Just the way it is unless you have a mammoth battery on the Verizon RAZR MAXX.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Verizon Gnex, standard battery, overclocked to 1.35 and not undervolted.

Battery life is subjective.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theonlyhan:
Well, I noticed this on my phone too. Before, I used HTC MT4G (one of hte best phone out there), and I realized a big difference. The usage and screen-on time are the same, the only difference is that nexus is @1.2Ghz for CPU. HOWEVER, even when I put it in my pocket with no 3G/4G, just radio on, i get drained 1% every 10 min. So I am not too sure, what is killing the battery for now. Maybe I'll flash a kernal soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iBustCh3rries:
I disagree with all of the cdma gnex dissers out there... I'm on the sprint gnex and here is my current battery life... I haven't charged my phone since Friday evening...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
I have to agree from coming from a Sprint phone to the gsm galaxy, i believe gsm in general handles low level signals better than cdma phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
Isn't that Verizon 3G ?

You can sure compare battery life on Verizon 3G w/ 1850mAh vs HSPA+ w/ 1750 mAh. Its LTE radio that can kill it in 5 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Everyone knows LTE sucks battery faster than heck on any device, and any network.

EvDo is the closest comparison I can make, especially considering that folks are comparing EvDo in here in terms of battery to GSM. It wouldn't be fair for me to run two radios at once to compare.

There have been several comments in here that even on EvDo, the Verizon Nexus sucks at battery life. This is my response to that.

Battery life is subjective. I can switch on LTE and still get through the workday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlan96:
I dont agree, I have a stock yakjuxw 4.0.2. Everything is OFF except WiFi and Auto Brightness, I evev have Juice Defender installed. And the max screen ON time for my phone is 2h 20min
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
can we see the battery graph and see the signal strength
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I've charged my phone since that screencap.

Signal is perfect though. -75 dbm here, all day, every day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatdub:
Wow that's impressive. How the heck is your Android OS usage so low? When I had the Verizon version it was always high. Also do you have your GNex set to cdma only or LTE/ cdma? Also is that a stock or custom rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
My lte nexus doesn't drain much on standby. Perhaps you have apps in the background running stopping it from entering deep sleep. Also are you on the new radios.

If you want my rom and kernel combo, its winner00 cm9 kang build 5-6 and franco kernel 156 (512mhz gpu).

I actually left in unplugged over night and it only lost an additional 4% over 9 hours. Not doing anything fancy like hotplug on screen off, messing with voltages, or anything and wifi is on all of the time. Overclocked to 1344mhz with the min speed set to 192 on the interactive governor. My gmail syncs and my hotmail syncs through exchange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
4.0.4 fixes Android OS usage reporting.

Custom rom, but no illusions of battery savings from it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
i think thats were people are coming to this conclusion, signal strength, lets say inside my workplace(like mine) gets horrible reception, when on sprint it was 0-2 bars 3g battery drain was so bad in that environment, now a week later with my gsm nexus still horrible signal strength (only gets edge inside) battery is a lot better, no charging during lunch.

I thought I was crazy, so i brought my nexus s 4g with a some what fresh OEM battery ( i know the stock battery in the galaxy is bigger but nothing crazy mah wise) and made a point not to use the phones all day, right after lunch my nexus s needed to be charged(roughly 5 hours since unplugging in the morning) and the galaxy was holding around seventy percent

This is by no means a bash against CDMA phones in general but just my observation, luckly I live in a major market so with any carrier I should be covered 80% of the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I could see that. CDMA probably drains a heck of a lot more power when its straining for signal, or searching for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I don't find my results to be much different than the GSM, using a Verizon variant. I keep 4G on at all times, but I'm connected via wifi at work. I normally leave it plugged in while I'm at work all day, but there are times I haven't plugged it in and don't lose much. I unplug it at 7:30am every morning and when I get home from work between 4-5 I usually still have a strong 60%-70% remaining. That includes probably 20-30 text messages, a bit of facebook browsing, and sometimes listening to a few songs (stored locally).

I think it more comes down to what apps you're using. Your brothers just got fresh devices...their battery life is bound to be good with fewer apps running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
Yeah, but your on wifi all day, op mentioned that this was in comparison when at work and in mobile data, a couple of posts up you can see my comparison, both phones running the same apps but the cdma one drained right after five hours where as the gsm was at seventy percent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Cdma and GSM are very comparable all thing being equal or close. It has to be the lte radio and management of it draining the Verizon version. There are quite a few cdma only phones that do quite nicely. Maybe we have Samsung to blame for this because GSM versions have their own share of issues.

...of the people, by the people, for the people...
