Touch Pro #1: Weather animations

Posted in HTC Touch Pro on March 30th, 2009 by Chris

If you have one of these, then you know about the cool weather animations that pop up when you slide over to the Weather tab to see what it’s gonna be like today.  Like when it’s rainy, your screen gets splattered with water and then a windshield wiper clears your view again.

Here’s an easy trick for when you’re in the mood to show your phone off to somebody. 

  1. Go to the Weather tab.
  2. Above the weather animation, in the dark band where the word ’Weather’ is in big letters, first click on the far left of the dark band, then to the far right. 
  3. Your phone’ll play four fancy animations of various kinds of weather, then return to normal.

There’re other versions of the Touch phone—-the Touch HD, the Touch Diamond, and so forth.  I only have the Touch Pro, so I couldn’t tell you if this trick works on all the others, but it probably does, they all are practically the same.  Easy enough to find out, anyway.

Great comments which I still felt compelled to delete, #6

A year ago today

As clouds of steam climbed over the frosted doors, she glared down at it one last time.

Nothing.

Still nothing.
