Issue w/ animated GIFs in web browser...

[billyman]

There's a local news weather radar site I use regularly that my Evo doesn't seem to support the animated radar loop. Please go to these sites and tell me if you experience the same results:

On my Evo these images are not animated, they are static. I figured it was just the native browser so I installed Skyfire, but that browser doesn't show the animation either. It makes no sense that these most anvanced browsers can't display these maps. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this??

download the weather channel app from the marketplace.. its free and will show weather based on location with animated radar

I'm having the same problem. I tried in the default browser as well as dolphin and they are both static images. It worked fine on my TP2.

CaptBlaze, thanks for the 411 on the app. I will give it a whirl, but I still don't understand why the Evo would not be able to display such images. Makes no sense what-so-ever. I did a google search for animated pics and it appears my Evo doesn't show any animation. WTF is up w/ that? Latest technology? Really? Aparently not in all aspects.

the hardware is more than capable, it is something to do with the o/s... lets hope the rumors about an OTA frozen yogurt treat at the end of the month are true!!!

I'm running froyo and I see everything. My froyo has broken camera, so if you need camera you can't run this rom.

Ya man I am right there with you on the local animated weather from my news channel. I was really disappointed when it didnt work. I also tried dolphin hd, opera and stock with nothing. Maybe skyfire will do something.

Remember, 2.1(Stock EVO OS) does not have FULL flash(flash LITE to be exact), only Froyo(like p-slim mentioned) has FULL flash support. On xda there is a flash apk from froyo that they say works but I haven't tried it, so I can't say for sure
